Re: Last movies you saw
 

So I saw Crimes and Misdemeanors last Friday...

One of my favorite movies ever, hands down

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Just watched Sunshine and wow...



Easily one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. It just sort of...I can't even fully put my thoughts into words

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Yeah, Sunshine did a lot of things right. But I personally missed something, I don't know. Maybe it got too weird and uncomprehensive near the end.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I've really been meaning to watch that one. Glad to hear some positive reviews from fellow GameTaverners.

I've always been fond of Cillian Murphy

Those eyes, those eyes! :distress:

I saw No Country for Old Men. I loved the acting and the storytelling, but the themes were a bit lost on me. But it's one of those movies that you know they're there, if you just look a little deeper and really listen to every bit of dialogue and ponder a little longer those lingering camera shots that you just know are there for a reason.

I loved the movie, but it's definitely one that requires multiple viewings. The character of Anton -- chilling.

I saw it over the summer in Theatres at the only place that was showing it in my area. Not sure why it took so long to be released on DVD, but its a great movie. I just bought it yesterday. Loved it just as much the second time watching it. There are some truly epic space scenes in it that are too awsome for words.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I really liked Sunshine, but that...villain they shoehorned into the end really knocked it down from a "great" movie in my book.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The one thing about the movie that kind of sucked for me was that I knew about the villain at the end. So it wasn't a surprise to me

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I liked it a little bit better than Fargo. And yes, repeat viewings do help. Some of the dialect used slipped past me on the first viewing.

As for Sunshine...the movie was a mess. The Cinematography was fantastic, but the plot was horribly assembled. Danny Boyle is officially suspect in my book. 28 Days Later was going strong until about 2/3s of the way through, and so was Sunshine. The Event Horizon-eque plot twist was not needed. In fact, the movie could have been a great character study but instead it went for the cheap thrills which in turn did not work. However, it was good science fiction (although highly implausible). And again, purdy camera work and special effects.


I recommend Juno. Fans of Jason Bateman and Michael Cera (Arrested Development) will be happy.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I was actually surprised at how little Michael Cera was in it.

But its not about them. Its about Ellen Page's character, and you WILL be a fan of her's after you see Juno.

National Treasure (1). Good movie, although some actors were a bit crappy. I'm looking at you, blond girl.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

A masterpiece.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Rescue Dawn, a very enjoyable movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw The Savages and it was pretty good. By no means uplifting, but Phillip Seymour Hoffman is great as usual.
