What was the last movie you've seen?

[REPO Man]

007: Goldfinger

Still awesome to this day! Sean Connery is Bond, all others are pretenders!

I saw this before...

on VHS.

[Nintendork666]

A cheap, predictable comedy with a good heart, and some worthwhile gags sparsely peppered between tedious, boring jokes. The taxidermied mice props were the most enjoyable part. Had it not been so late at night, I may not have finished this. Turn your brain off, and enjoy.
6/10

All I can think about is...



starring in a gritty western.

Watched two this weekend:
Emperors New Groove - A stellar cast makes this film just run smooth. Patrick Warburton and John Goodman always make for good movies.

John Carter - despite that they kinda combined elements from the first three books to make it, it is still a fun film. We watched it after Emperor, with a group that had never seen it nor read the books. I prescripted it with this was originally written in 1912 and inspired the majority of the big Science Fiction authors. With that they loved the film but said that it needed more White Apes.

Love love Emperor's New Groove! Very underrated. I totally wrote it off when it was in theaters. Looked really dumb. My brother in law told us to watch it after they got it on DVD and we loved it. "Is that my voice? Is that.... MY voice? Oh well.." You gotta love Eartha Kitt, and you're right. Warburton, Goodman and Spade are stellar in this.

As for John Carter - I wholeheartedly agree! Another movie I just didn't pay attention to until we had nothing to watch and totally loved it. Taylor Kitsch could have been replaced with someone more 'adventure-y' but he still did a good job. I started reading A Princess of Mars after watching it and so far enjoying it a good bit. My wife's BFF told me the very same thing about it being from the early 1900s. Still though, even for being such an old school story, it's a good read and a very enjoyable and visually appealing film. I heard it bombed so I have no idea about sequels. I hope we get some tho.


EDIT: forgot my movie

KLOWN (KLOVN the movie)

Let me begin with; "The Danish are weird, weird people." I saw a trailer to this sometime last year I think, at the local theater and wondered what it was all about. I noticed it was on Netflix and watched it this weekend before PLATOON. I found out after watching it that it's based on a Danish TV show of the same name, so having this new information I developed a slightly better opinion of the film. It's apparently the Danish equivalent to Curb Your Enthusiasm, with it's 'uncomfortable humor.' And uncomfortable it was. I only giggled a few times during the viewing, but when I started telling parts of it to my wife, I started laughing. I'm sure that several of their gags are probably either lost in translation, or lost to an American (apparently there's a popular musician/celeb in it named Medina who I do not know of) audience. I've also never known of a comedy to display a 12 year old boy's penis, and show said penis being held by an adult in a photograph.

It was planned for a trilogy, but since it bombed* they were canned. Sad though, there is so much they could have drawn from. Some of the changes, like turning the Thern as cartertaker like mages, were really cool and I really liked it more than the original.

*Some say it was torpedoed from the inside. Which is why the marketing was all over the place.

Id love for someone to take the property and release it as a cartoon. But because of how the movie fared, that wont happen for sometime.

Orpheus (1950) - John Cocteau's re-telling of the classic Greek myth of Orpheus and Euridyce. Set in post-war Paris, the movie offer an alternate interpretation of the classic myth with superb visuals and period special effects. The re-telling lacks the poignancy of the original, however, but it makes up for it with excellent, dream-like imagery and atmosphere reminiscent of Carl Theodore Dreyer's Vampyr.

The Great Mouse Detective (1986) - I expected this to be a second rate Disney animated feature, and it thoroughly exceeded my expectations. It was very exciting; it had a great villian - voiced by Vincent Price! - Henry Mancini composed the soundtrack; and it has a fantastic early CGI sequence inside Big Ben. Moreover, my children loved it. It is currently available for streaming on Netflix, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great family film.

The Great Mouse Detective ... Henry Mancini composed the soundtrack...

That's enough for me to place it on my queue.

Mancini soundtrack and Vincent Price as the villain. How have I not watched this? Oh yeah, my nieces only want to watch princess movies and Dumbo.

Yeah I watched this a ton as a kid and I always loved it. Been meaning to pick it up on Blu-ray ever since it released awhile ago.
