What was the last movie you've seen?

Saw Neverwas (kind of) last night. I was sort of partially paying attention through most of it and then I suddenly started paying full attention and it was very awesome. The ending was great. I will rewatch this one soon so as to grasp the whole thing. The ending was very moving for me for some reason. I think the older a person is the more sad it is to watch them give up on a notion or, in this case, a reality they believed was so real for so long. Again, there is def more to it, but I have to watch it all the way through first. Just wanted to write and recommend it before I forgot.

Spoiler warning
Anyone else watched the Fourth Kind? Having Milla Jovovich blatantly lie at the very beginning wasn't really clever. I knew it was fake but they had me second-guessing until the bit with the murder-suicide. Besides, why bleep the names and show their faces? What a mess.

Hey, thanks for the clear and easily-visible spoiler warning that's totally not smaller than the standard font size for the board and hidden directly below a small image!

I never understand why people get so upset when a film says based on true events or someone says it - a fictional movie is fake, having one more fake bit at the beginning is not a big deal to me. I think it can make them more fun - I do admit that it was getting a bit old with all the slasher flicks because every single one was supposedly based on actual events. But a movie like the 4th Kind being a pseudo-documentary type of film is obviously trying to pretend it is real. They could have left that speech at the beginning out and I still would have thought they wanted us to believe it was real considering the way the film was shot. I did not think it was real because they showed the faces, which would make changing names seem pointless. I look at things like this as working to set the atmosphere of the film, not trying to deceive people considering we can just google it afterwards.

Still, some people could be excused if they fell for it. Unlike Paranormal Activity for instance.



Watched National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 for the first time this weekend. Funny stuff, not as good as Mel Brooks' 80s movies but I did get a few chuckles out of it. When Bruce Willis emerged from the beach wreckage I was laughing like mad I miss those parody movies.. Scary Movie might have been adequate but the others are crap crap crap.

Let's see...

I saw "The Informant" Friday night. Overall, I thought it was pretty boring. It had a couple of pretty funny running gags, but it's about as interesting as one would expect a movie about non-violent, white-collar crime to be. It just wasn't funny enough to work as a comedy and not captivating enough to work as a drama.

I watched "Defendor" last night. I liked the idea a lot, and I really like seeing Elias Koteas in a movie, but it really could have benefited from some editing. I think it was about half an hour too long.

1-star according to Ebert.. Think I'll pass.

Speaking of Ebert he's a mixed bag. Sometimes I totally agree with his reviews, but other times.. Clash of the Titan a 3-star movie? Oh well..

I've read two awesome scripts for two new muppet movies. Loved both, though I think only one may possibly get the green light.

seriously? oh i would be so happy to see a new muppets movie!

One is going to happen, promise. Might not be out until 2014 though.


And everyone go see KICK ASS tomorrow.

No way they can top Muppets from Space.

If you consider him a mixed bag, and don't seem to find a strong correlation between his reviews and your experience, why let him decide which movies you'll see?
