What is The Last Movie You Watched?

[broncofan]

I'm watching this right now on amazon and am about fifty minutes in and thought to myself, "didn't someone on hungangels say they saw this and couldn't get into it".

It has good reviews on amazon. But the acting is bad and the dialogue just as bad. Of course, I'm going to finish it. Why couldn't I think of Serpico^^^, a Sidney Lumet movie that's well reviewed everywhere (not just on amazon) that I have yet to see!!

Actually I'm done with this piece of shit. Serpico it is.

Saw GlenGarry Glen Ross the other day. I liked it a lot. Maybe a bit overrated as some people think it's the cleverest movie ever made and though Mamet is typically good with dialogue he falls back on vulgarity a bit too much. But I thought it provided a great example of why everyone hates their boss and why working for someone else always sucks. Very enjoyable as a result...best performance I've seen by Jack Lemmon.

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....

argos catalogue. i actually used to keep these and leaf thru them using the pictures to help me dream up the perfect scenarios for a bluesoul moon based home.

have you seen the film 2010: the year we make contact? the wife of the main guy from 2001 appears to his wife thru the telly one morning whilst she's having her morning routine. that's how i communicate with arthur c. clarke and helen mirren's past self because i got exactly the same telly from the argos catalogue. thanks argos!

Definitely. An iconic performance. Gil from The Simpsons is totally based on the Shelly Levine character.

"Blazing Saddles"- the old Mel Brooks comedy. I use the word comedy advisedly. This is a deplorably dreadful film - and it is astonishing they ever raised the money to make it with a script this atrocious.

I've watched High Anxiety, Blazing Saddles, and Spaceballs and I did not find any of them funny. I'm told maybe I should see some of the other Mel Brooks movies, but I think I'll just call it a loss.

I like comedy too. All of the classic comedies, even the corny ones I find funny..Airplane, Naked Gun, Take the Money and Run. Blazing Saddles was a laugh riot compared to Spaceballs. Anyone like Spaceballs?

DC Cab. in its own wacky way, a great movie.

Spaceballs was garbage.

Young Frankenstein was good and I liked Blazing Saddles too...listen, you're either going to like his brand of humor (a bit dated anyway...you might in fact be too young for it)...or not. It's a bit kitsch...and always seems to have a musical number involved...but in their day,his best movies were funny...but roll your eyes kind of funny.

Side Effects (Steven Soderbergh, 2012)
This film is apparently the last Soderbergh will make, and on this evidence we can cheerfully suggest he made the right choice. The film twists and turns and doesn't so much lose the moral compass it initially lays claim to, as abandon it to become a cheap revenge melodrama. I have never heard of Rooney Mara before, and can't say it matters; Catherine Zeta-Jones must have been desperate to accept such a shabby part. The only film I have seen by Soderbergh that stands repeated viewing is his version of Traffic, not as good as the Channel 4 tv version (Traffik) but still good; so I suspect this generally second-rate director will be remembered for the Ocean's films, which are at least entertaining. Side Effects? 3/10 for effort, and not succumbing to the usual charms of New York City, I didn't recognise any of it.
