What was the last movie you've seen?

[noiseredux]

and admittedly I really enjoyed Love Actually.

I think it's a great movie. That's one that we seem to watch every December.

Yeah, my girlfriend watches this one along with Muppet Christmas Carol and the 1990s version of Little Women every year. I don't quite think it matches my favorite romantic comedy, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but it's definitely up there.

[noiseredux]

wow. We'll differ there. I really did not enjoy Greek Wedding.

[Ack]

Haha, I think it's funny how often we have similar tastes and then find something we radically diverge on, noise.

MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING is a way of life, not a movie.

Seriously, I do think the movie is something special and ahead of its time.

I was working in the theater that summer and I remember I first heard about it when I was making small talk with the customers at the concession stand. Then it was still playing three months later, which meant it had outlasted every other movie at the place (and the place has 30 screens). Our family went to see it and my dad was howling with laughter; his family is full Greek so it was basically a movie about his life.

I liked BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, although I find the leads annoying, in this movie, I don't.

Watched RED 2 last night. Basically more of the same, if you liked 1 you'll like this one. Helen Mirren, Tony Hopkins, and John Malkovich are the stars of the show, Bruce Willis is fine, and what's her face from Weeds is okay. It takes a bit to get rolling, but once it does it's quite entertaining.

I totally forgot about MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING. I used to really like that movie. I'll have to give it another watch sometime soon. Didn't they start a sitcom based on it that bombed?

I watched Light Years (a.k.a Gandahar) last night. Very cool 80s "adult" animated movie in the same vein as Heavy Metal or Starchaser. This one was done by Isaac Asimov (yeah, the famous one), and stars Glenn Close as a voice-actor.

Some stiff animation, and maybe a little flat on the voice-acting. But if you can look past that, it's a VERY cool sci-fi story with some very imaginative animation. Also, there are a lot of blue titties everywere, so once you get past that shallow surface, you'll find a deeper a story, I promise.

A society that has lived in peace and paradise is suddenly invaded by "men of metal". They systematically and without a sign of emotion or remorse begin killing people.



A race that has long forgotten war sends out one warrior to find out why, and where these men of metal are coming from; his name is Silvain.

What he finds is strange a race of deformed people that have been outcast by his society, the very same society that experimented on them and made them this way; and as a result also have strange precognitive powers. They give him a riddle: "
"A thousand years ago, Gandahar will be saved, and what can't be avoided will be." ."



They then take him to meet the supposed leader of men of metal, who also turn out to be an outcast of his societies scientific experiments in the past. A very strange being known as "Metamorphis."



And finds a portal. I don't want to give away too much here, because it's one of those movies where everything clicks into place at the end.

Very cool movie. I recommend anyone that's into that "adult" 80s animation style, to definetly check this one out.
