What is The Last Movie You Watched?

The link will take you to a list which includes the mind-boggling decision to remake Dirty Dancing, The Hangover 3 (as if the previous two were not bad enough, Yasmin Lee notwithstanding), another crack at Superman (Man of Steel), sci-fi/futurist/world-gone-zombie-mad films with Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise etc.

Or you could wait in anticipation for this British film (The Lotus Eaters) of which the promo reads:
Follows a group of young Londoners as they struggle to find meaning in their lives while masking their discontent with sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll. The story centers on ex-model and aspiring actress Alice (Antonia Campbell-Hughes) as she struggles with her relationship with Charlie (Johnny Flynn), her drug-addicted ex-boyfriend. The fashionable group of friends epitomizes a new modern “lost generation” reminiscent of Ernest Hemmingway and his cohorts.

Maybe best to stay at home, or go to Cannes!

despite my penchant for high-brow entertainment, i am a US male at my core and I grew up in the 80s and 90s where I was spoon-fed low-brow laughs, explosions and gore so...

I will probably see the 3rd Hangover and World War Z. I have not been a fan of most will smith movies therefore I will pass on his father/son apocalypse effort as I will also pass on the tom cruise yawn oblivion. that said, the great gatsby looks good as does the new trek. i will also see the new iron man movie as it has to be better than iron man 2 and 3 (aka the avengers). TDKR sucked compared to most movies but especially compared to TDK so I'm not sold on the nolan/synder reboot of supes, but i know all my friends will drag me to see it. Nolan proved he could make great movies with TDK and Inception but TDKR sucked so bad and Synder isn't a great director as from 300 to sucker punch, i find his style a bit taxing and forced.

having said all of that, there are a few other titles that may be interesting as blockbusters go, but overall, there is no movie that is pending release that i'm saying, "I've got to see that"

Fair dinkum, sport. I watched Iron Man I and II mainly because I often like Robert Downey Jr even if he does make some crap films; every now and then a futurist film is at least worth seeng even if it goes off towards the end; and for some reason I seem to like some of the Cruise vehicles where others on HA detest him.
Lat night a film called The Tourist was on tv, with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp -I am not sure if I have seen much Depp other than fragments of those dire pirate movies, in The Tourist nothing is believable, the acting, insofar as there is any, is wafer thin -what struck me is how ugly Depp is, with a face like a horses arse one wonders how he ever got into movies...and what is the point of Angelina Jolie with her clothes on? For real excitement I flipped over to watch Spurs beat Arsenal.

My ladyboy model of last saturday took me to see Jack and the magic bean. Well...at least she liked it, lol.

Stavros - woud it astonish you to discover that for many women Johnny Depp is the sexiest thing on two legs. I kid you not.

Finally "Argo" and yes it was a thriller - even though you knew the denouement.

was a little disappointed by this. it reminded me of something that would've been a tv movie- just with less of the thrill.

[Prospero]

Know what you mean, Bluesoul. One trouble with Argo was that the outcome was known. But despite that they did manage to ramp up the tension.

So there is hope for me yet...eh? But who knows what women want anyway! Mel Gibson?

I thought it was about those awful shops where you choose from a catalogue and then wait seven hours while the people behind the counter try to get both of their brain cells to rub together.

In terms of drawn-out existential futility it should be right up Stavros' street....

[Prospero]

What other shops would be on "Stavros Street" I wonder?

Don't know, but my next trip to the Arts Cinema in Cambridge is to see a German film called Lore which has had excellent reviews.
