What is The Last Movie You Watched?

[dafame]

Attempted to watch Red Tails tonight. Could only stomach the first 20 minutes before I left the theatre in disgust with the shit dialogue, predictable plot, and awful acting. Truly rubbish masquerading as historical drama and what's worse attempting to play the race card to lure viewers in. Stay away!

I could tell by the previews that this wasn't going to be a good movie and that this story shouldn't be told in a corney "hollywood action movie with bad dialog" way. But to say "play the race card to lure the viewers in"?? Huh? Admittedly I haven't seen this movie and have no interest in it but you gotta explain that one.

Again I'm not suggesting this movie does a good job of this but are you suggesting that any movie that highlights the black experience in a war is playing the race card? I think you guys are starting to kinda overuse that completely racially incensitive term just a little bit now but I'd love to hear you explain it. I didn't see the film so educate me.

I'm suggesting that deliberately marketing any film as a 'black' film is disingenuous and will in fact do more to harm the success of the film and help. And who or what are you referring to as 'you guys'?

"Shame" - about sex addiction (I think) but a bleak, boring and wholly depressing piece of film making. And not in the least bit arousing despite its title.

watched the Wrestler .. i enjoyed it ...was very well wrote and filmed .. a touch long perhaps for the story but very good indeed

[Prospero]

Yeah - The Wrestler was an excellent film.

You should check out a movie called Super, starring Rainn Wilson, if it's available in the UK. Similar to Kick Ass in that it's about a regular guy who gets fed up and becomes a superhero. It's funny, dark, twisted, and surprisingly violent. Great movie.

[Stavros]

Kick-Ass is instantly forgettable, a silly film about things that could never happen in real life but ok, its a cartoon-strip fantasy, but let's be honest, Nicolas Cage owes his career to his uncle, his inability to even to pretend to act is embarrassing. Anyone smothered in paraffin/gasoline in a confined space where guns are being fired and hot bullets flying around like confetti at a wedding would have been toast long before the ditzy jailbait with a pink wig turned up to rescue dad while firing her own shots from guns with recoil that would throw most 10-year olds against the wall.

The film is RUBBISH, Herge's Adventures of Tin-Tin should be preferred.
