What was the last movie you've seen?

Watched Robocop last night. I was in the mood to watch it after seeing those pics of the RoboBayCop floating around. Such a great movie. ED209 is still one of the coolest robotic designs around.

It's a pretty perfect action movie isn't it? It's so raw and gritty. Love it.

It is a good action movie. It is GREAT comedy/satire. (The same thing goes for Verhoeven's other great film, Starship Troopers.)

What the fuck?! I was expecting this to be Saw on a desert and what I got was one of the most unpleasant things I've ever sat through (And I've watched Salo, Cannibal Holocaust and A Serbian Film ). I'm kind of shocked at how it passed with an R rating.

If you enjoy watching unpleasant things, go see Irreversible.

You, me, parking lot.

If you two plan on making out, I'm not in.

If Popo thinks TROOPERS is an attempt at camp that fails he now has a tag team partner.

Who doesn't want to see PITCH PERFECT? It looks like an awful teenage BRIDESMAIDS that will provide awful joke after awful joke in a theater full of people who might find it hilarious. I think during the first showing I'll hear at least a dozen mobile phones ring.

Starship Troopers is not an attempt at camp. It is a scathing satire. You will find some excellent criticism here:

I disliked the movie when it was released in 1997, but I appreciated it much more when I rewatched it nearly 15 years later.

Another mindless action flick but this time the plot is convoluted for the heck of it. A solid time waster.

I've already seen it .

It's a satire that falls victim of Poe's Law, and then it decided to appropriate the name and certain plot points from a fantastic book and completely miss the point of the original novel.

Upon its release in 1997 - before we had lived through 11 years of the war on terror - the satire was almost indetectable, and many critics of the film viewed it as promoting fascism. Viewed today, the satire is very clear, and I expect that it was clear to its creator, Paul Verhoeven, who had experienced life in Nazi-occupied Holland. Moreover, I think that any efforts to make the satire explicit - as Stanley Kubrick did with character names in Dr. Strangelove - would detract from the film.

That said, I have not read the original novel, but I expect that you would be very disappointed if you were hoping for a faithful adaptation. Like Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining, however, the fact that the film deviates from its source material does not detract from its independent merits.

However, many times it does.
