What is The Last Movie You Watched?

Quatermass and the Pit - the 1950s TV series (okay not technically a movie) written by Nigel Kneale and shown the BBC. Look past the wooden acting, the wooden acting and the sets and it is actually a very interesting experiment in TV drama. It is possible to see why it was such a sensation when first shown in 1958 - with people talking about never having seen so scared by anything on TV and viewers hurrying home from the pub of wherever to catch it.

I keep waiting for a massive box set of all things Quatermass. Hope Anchor Bay is listening.

Last movie I saw. Fun flick but not as good as the first one.

I saw this a couple of years ago.
I thought there were a couple of episodes missing from that series. Have they found the lost ones, are am i bolloxing on about something else?

I think you might be right - there are some odd jumps in the narrative.

I know. Never be as stylish as the original. Such beauty and art in death.

Like to see them re-shoot this scene.

Super

Great fucking movie! I wish more people knew about it. I've been trying to show it to everyone I know. I expected it to be funny, which it was, but I was totally surprised (but not displeased) at how super-violent it is. Also a good deal of pathos from and for Rainn Wilson's character. Love this movie.

Went to my local cinema to see the National Theatre's production of Frankenstein as adapted and directed by Danny Boyle, with Benedict "Sherlock" Cumberbatch as the creature and Jonny Lee "Trainspotting" Miller as the doctor - they alternated the roles during the stage run.

Apart from being a spectacular and quite brilliant production with great performances from all the cast, it was a great way to see a west end production - 20 minutes up the A14, no London hassle - or pricing - and a comfortable seat for about 20% of the theatre ticket.

And - yes, I'm a cinema nazi - no mobile phones, no popcorn, no talking and simply a theatre full of people who had come to enjoy the show. Blissful.

Reconstruction (Theo Angelopoulos, 1970)
Angelopoulos' first full-length feature film, which at 110 minutes is one of his shortest films. There are very few close-ups in this austere film in which the brooding landscape of northern Greece emphasises the contrast between the material and emotional poverty of village life, and the passion which exploded in a case of murder, under investigation by the police. The cinematrography also stresses isolation, the figures often looking lost in a landscape of mountains, streams and forests. There is no attempt to connect to the emotional core of the crime, no sympathy for any of the characters, yet the presentation of these selves in everyday life marks the beginning of an illustrious career in film -I think the film is maybe too artistic, but is worth watching.

Me too. Hate it when people sneak crying babies into R Rated movies.

Many years ago I went to see The Devils by Ken Russell at a cinema in Newmarket. For reasons best known to themselves the management left the house lights on throughout the film. people got up and walked around, yelled to each other across the cinema and talked constantly - except in the most violent bits. Then a hush fell over the place.
