The Proposal was alright, I thought the movie went no where really. Like they just fell in love because she started talking to him.

Also saw Black Dynamite, now that was an awesome movie, you dig jive turkey. :lol:

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Wow, just watched this as well. Pretty incredible in such a terrible way. It's hard to believe this guy is serious, but then you watch the behind the scenes and interview segments in the special features and it just gets worse. Definitely one of the most fun, terrible movies I've ever seen.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Akira for the first time today! That was pretty awesome.

And saw Advent Children Complete. The added scenes and the revisions were refreshing since I was able to tell that the movie was different since the last time I saw it, but it's still kinda over-rated and the plot doesn't make much sense still.

But eh.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Hm which one is that? It's not 'Innocense', right? Because I think that's only 5 years old or so.
I saw the 2 seasons and the 2 movies of GitS.

I thought Akira was incredibly boring.

I saw Happy-Go-Lucky, I hated it. It was supposed to be like Amélie, but it wasn't. She was annoying, the movie didn't have a story. Some jokes were funny though.

Also finally saw Moon and District 9. Moon was awesome. :D The whole next day I was still thinking about the story. :)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

It's a slightly redone edition of the original movie. Some of the effects were redone with new CG, and some of the scenes were redone in CG entirely, as long as a full digital remaster with redone vocal and audio tracks from the original people. It was quite nice.

I can see where you're coming from with that but you have to admit that there was some pretty crazy animation for being a 20 year old movie. There was a lot of stuff that is very influential and wasn't done back then.

One of my co-workers was watching Moon when I was at work while he was on his lunch break. He said it was pretty fucked up, I'll have to check it out.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Just finished getting through my newly-delivered copy of Evangelion 1.11: You are (Not) Alone.

It was a great way to bring the old into the new, lemme tell you. It's a visual overhaul, definitely not just watching the entire show (or I guess the first 6-8 episodes of the series) all over again. Especially the fight against the 6th angel. Holy hell.

I don't know how interested people would be in it if you haven't seen the show before, but it's worth a watch. Sadly there's no news of when even a DVDRip from Japan or a US release will happen for the second movie, and it already was released in theaters in Japan back in July.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Saw Hot Tub Time Machine the other night. Hilarious movie.


Definite classic

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Craig Robinson and John Cusack are pretty funny guys.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Eden of the East: The King of Eden

The first of two movies that follow the events of the series. The show took place in Washington D.C. and Tokyo while the movie is mostly set in NYC. Probably the best depiction of the city I've seen animated; a number of recognizable areas.

Trailer for the show:

Brick

Really enjoyed it though the dialogue took me out of it a bit. Pitch perfect noir but it felt like a student play when you have highschoolers speaking in that manner.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I watched The Host last night.

It was an awesome, awesome movie. Also freely streamable on Netflix if anyone is interested.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I also saw How to Train your Pet Dragon a few days ago...awesome movie. It had two of my favorite things - vikings and dragons!

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Clash of the Titans. Good movie, definitely worth seeing

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Hot tub Time Machine

Really awesome comedy, personally didn't like the overall happy ending, but that's just me.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Ponyo On A Cliff By The Sea. 8/10.

Best part is how cute Ponyo (and the other kids) is (/are). When she was runnign through the room with the lamp on her head... :D

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The movie was cute, but I dunno. Something about it didn't really get to me like most of the Studio Ghibli films do. I really liked Howl's Moving Castle, Grave of the Fireflies and Princess Mononoke. This one didn't really do it.

Also I think Liam Neeson was poorly cast, he's awesome but this wasn't the right role for him. Unless you saw it in Japanese (I didn't because this stupid girl I was talking to didn't want to read subtitles), then go you.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Who did Liam Neeson voice? I saw the Japanese version, which seemed to get all the characters about right.

I liked recognizing Japanese words. 'Hot' is 'hati', I wonder if that came from English (or Dutch).

I saw Ember City, which was ok. A bit weird and boring at times, but enjoyable for other parts.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Liam Neeson was what's-his-face with the red hair. The tall guy that was making the potions and trying to get Ponyo to come back into the ocean.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Black Dynamite

Kungfu treachery! Man that was a fun movie. Might need a second or third viewing. A lot of subtle jokes with the editing and such. Know I must have missed a couple.

And an animated series coming soon. :)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Finally got around to watching The Darjeeling Limited last night. It was the only Wes Anderson flick I hadn't seen yet.

It has some really beautiful individual moments both visually and dramatically, but I feel like the overall film didn't really flow well for me. I still liked it though because I'm a sucker for the tone that Wes Anderson sets. Gets me every time.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I don't think I've actually seen a Wes Anderson film yet.

...nope I haven't.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Tokyo Sonata. 7/10.

Good story about a Japanese guy who loses his job but doesn't tell his wife and kids. The worst part is that it probably happens there for real.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Finally saw Terminator Salvation.

I thought it was awesome, not sure where all the hate for this movie came from.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I liked it but ya know "T2 is the greatest and always will be" etc etc.

Definitely miles and miles away from Rise of the Machines.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

truthfully?

The Royal Tenenbaums is an excellent movie. I'd watch them in order starting with 1996 Bottle Rocket.

Rushmore has Bill Murray.
Same with Life Aquatic.

If you see The darjeeling Limited, make sure to watch the 15 minute short that goes with it. Hotel Chevalier



I have Tokyo Sonata, North Face(2008), Harry Brown, and Sonatine(1993) queued to view.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I watched Syriana stoned with a couple friends last night. While I might not have grasped everything - because I was stoned - I thought it was a really great movie. Long, but by far one of the better movies I've seen lately.

I highly suggest that anyone who hasn't watched it, watches it.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I'm gonna finally watch The Big Lebowski tonight if I get the chance to finish my research paper.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

That's the best movie about a rug I've ever seen.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I think I'm going to be amazed, but this paper doesn't look like it's going to be done within the next three hours. Ugh

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Welp finally got around to watching it. I must say I was quite pleased.

The whole scene at the end when they spread Donnie's ashes was fucking hysterical to me.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Re: Last movies you saw
 

God I love that movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The world does not start and stop for you whenever you want it to, you fucking piece of shit!

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Kick-Ass last night and DEMAND all of you to go see it. It is a cinematic masterpiece and I pretty much loved every moment of it. Possibly my new favorite movie, I'm going to see it a second time before I give it a final ranking haha.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Should be seeing it Sunday

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Oh god kick ass was awesome.

I will say there was a sorta like 15 minute period where it lulled and was like "MEH" but overall enjoyed it and really those 15 minutes weren't awful.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Yeah, last one I watched in theaters was Kick-Ass. Not a brilliant film, but fun.
http://dvdsnapshot.com/2010Josh/KickAssReview.html

Last one I watched at home was The Red Shoes on Netflix Watch Instant for the Wii. The interface of the Watch Instant is awkward, but it's nice. The film though, is utterly brilliant. Check it out.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Brothers Bloom. Fantastic movie.

Kick-Ass. Thoughts in the Kick-Ass thread.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Pour Elle. 8/10.
French movie about an ordinary man who tries to break free his wife from prison.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Summer Wars

Frickin' amazing.



Some fighting in the virtual world (I'd only watch if the trailer didn't make you want to see the film):
