I'd agree in general but I also had a gift card to use.Kristatos wrote:So, what did you think? I personally wouldn't buy a movie I hadn't seen unless it was in the bargain bins, best to rent it first.Omega wrote:Kris, just bought Pacific Rim on your recommendation, too late to help it at the BO maybe the blu-ray sale will help encourage batter movies. God I hope it doesn't suck
Anyway, the last movie I saw was The Adjustment Bureau. Not quite what I was expecting, sort of like an episode of Touched By An Angel filtered through the paranoid vision of Philip K Dick (who wrote the short story on which the film is based). An interesting oddity that doesn't always hit its mark, but gets extra points from me for not being quite like anything else out there. 8/10.
Shame is it was a good movie it was completely advertised wrong. The impression I had from the ads was way off. Give it a rerelease with a proper ad that give an idea how interesting the story is it make double whatever the numbers are now .

Re: The Last Movie You Watched
The problem is, the aspects of the story that make the film more interesting than a Michael Bay slugfest, the characters and world-building, are the hardest things to convey in a trailer. The "Godzilla v Transformers" angle is the hook that brings people into the cinema in the first place, so that's naturally what the trailers concentrated on.Omega wrote: Shame is it was a good movie it was completely advertised wrong.

Re: The Last Movie You Watched
that was the part I think turned audiences off it looked like battleship 2 only filmed at night. And like battleship they overused the transformer sound effects to sell the idea it's a bay movie cloneKristatos wrote:The problem is, the aspects of the story that make the film more interesting than a Michael Bay slugfest, the characters and world-building, are the hardest things to convey in a trailer.

Richard III starring Ian Mckellen. Way better than the previous versions of shakespeare classic.

Re: The Last Movie You Watched
I like the way McKellen makes Richard seem almost likeable in places, playing him more as a charming psychopath than the usual scenery-chewing villain.

I was browsing through the channels this afternoon and the very end of Return of the Jedi. There was something wrong with the movie print as with the ghosts of Yoda and Obi-wan was some young fellow with a mullet.

Re: The Last Movie You Watched
Not sure. It would have been logical for Rasillon to appear. I don't know whether they asked him and he said no, or whether he burned some bridges on his last appearance. I can't imagine it being the latter, as I've never heard of him being anything other than a consummate professional. My guess would be a simple scheduling conflict.John P.

possible distancing this story from the gawd awful RTD plot twist the Time Lords are secret baddies.Kristatos wrote:Not sure. It would have been logical for Rasillon to appear.

Re: The Last Movie You Watched
I always thought Mckellen would have been a great choice to play M. Him and Anthony Hopkins would have been great in the role of M.

Well, Hopkins played a M-like character in Mission: Impossible II, and had the best line throughout the film.Jamesdude wrote:I always thought Mckellen would have been a great choice to play M. Him and Anthony Hopkins would have been great in the role of M.

Re: The Last Movie You Watched
Just saw The Bourne Legacy on DVD. This has Rachel Weisz, doing a solid acting job. Three are several top action scenes, one in a lab where a killer locks all the doors and starts shooting everyone. Another is when villains try to kill her, and the latter part of the movie is set in the Philippines with a frenetic motorcycle chase, which is good fun. The lead actor also is in many of the shots since he can ride cycles. This is a better movie than the Craig Bonds, since the hero is more human and likable.

Re: The Last Movie You Watched
The hero, actually is not the "human" as described, he's just a professional. And I wouldn't be surprised to see him cleaning the house for good in the next installment. Loved the Bourne Legacy because it had a heroic protagonist and not an emotionally unbalanced wimp who's reading to double cross his country anytime. Rachel Weisz was great too! Loved the bike chase. And now, the next one will be directed by Justin Lin who took the helm for a few Fast & Furious movies, making it likeable.commander0077again wrote:Just saw The Bourne Legacy on DVD.

Better than the first. If you want to watch something this winter season, go see it.
