What's the last movie you've seen?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Inside Man. Very well done.

[TheWildCard]

Let's see what have I seen recently.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall: The nudity was very unnecessary... Overall a funny film.

Baby Mama: Really good movie. Its nice to see women focused comedy that is actually funny without being an all out chick flick. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were great.

Iron Man: It was great. Paltrow actually didn't look pale for a change and actually looked attractive. Great Super Hero movie overall. Not as good as Spider Man 1 or Batman Begins but it nears that level.

Raiders of the Lost Ark: Very enjoyable. I had never sat down and watched the whole thing but it was great.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: Wow, that seemed more like a nightmare with Indiana Jones....

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: AWESOME! My favorite one of the series by far.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull (Or Indiana Jones and the Quest for More Money): Actually I liked this one a lot. It's probably my second favorite of the series. Yes I know, what can I say? I like to go see a movie and relax and enjoy the ride.

Raiders of the Lost Ark: Very enjoyable. I had never sat down and watched the whole thing but it was great.

O_O What?! I've seen it like 7 times already.

I agree with what you said about The Temple of Doom. Jeez Louise, that movie sucked.

The Last Crusade was awesome. I don't think they could have found a better actor than Sean Connery to play Indy's dad.

My brother and I both saw Kingdom of the Crystal Skull the day it came out. We both really enjoyed the film. We still can't figure out why some deride the movie so much. O_o

[Reaganfan]

Disturbia. Quite good.

[Јas]

Saw Iron Man last weekend. First half was ok, but it fell apart for me as time wore on.

[Albus Dumbledore]

Indiana Jones and the temple of doom.

The way I rank the series has RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK as the best of the bunch by far. That film may just be the perfect adventure film. TEMPLE OF DOOM and THE LAST CRUSADE are tied in my book. They're both strong entries in my opinion. I think that TEMPLE OF DOOM gets a lot of flack simply because it's different. The first half hour of that film is fantastic and while it goes a bit downhill after that it's not by much. I appreciate the low-key take on it, when compared to the other entries in the series. I'll never understand that hatred that some have for it.

KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL, on the other hand, gets all the flack that it deserves in my opinion. With this one they basically took what worked with the original trilogy and threw it out the window, keeping the negative elements. The original films all had a fantastical element but they were still grounded in reality; I could believe in the story, as out of this world as it may be. In KotCS, I really didn't feel involved in the story and couldn't believe in it, largely due to the CGI and the out-there stunts (mainly Indy surviving a nuclear explosion, the waterfall segment, and pretty much any action involving Louis Stev...I mean Shia LeBouf).

I still had fun watching KotCS just because it was Indy. I think Harrison was fine and still showed that Indy charm (my favorite part was when Marion asked what happened with the other girls and that classic Ford smirk comes on his face and he replies "None of them were you, honey"...now THAT was the Indy I know and love!). Overall though, compared to the other Indy films it's a long way off in my view and dead last in the rankings. It's a shame really because I really think that it did have potential.

There's rumors that they're gonna make more but I pray that they don't. If they do I hope they leave his family at home, along with George Lucas.

It seems these days that George Lucas is King Midas in reverse as everything he touches turns to sh**t.

[Spaghetti Cat]

The Strangers, about 2 hours ago.

[War on Want]

Premonition

[The Man From G.O.P.]

Just saw the new Indiana Jones, ruined my life.

[Albus Dumbledore]

George Lucas needs to stop ruining film franchises.

Death at a Funeral (2007)

One of the funniest films I have seen this year and probably in my lifetime. After watching the first ten minutes of the film I thought the film critics had led me on, but thankfully I was proven wrong. A film I highly reccomend for anybody.

The US vs. John Lennon (2007)

A very good documentary, which was both a learning experience about the Anti-War protest movement of the late 1960's early 1970's, thanks to the likes of Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin but it was also insightful film to watch.

[dead0man]

Bottom's Up - Jason Mewes (Jay of Jay and Silent Bob fame) and Paris Hilton.  Pretty bad, still funnier than Wedding Crashers.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Road Trip

Not bad, but not good.  It had some funny moments in it, though.

Storytelling

Storytelling

So how would you rank the Solondz movies?

I'd say:

Welcome to the Dollhouse
Storytelling
Happiness
(still haven't seen Palindromes)

I'm quite in the minority in liking Storytelling more than Happiness it seems. I think its narrative fits Solondz's style more though.

THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS

A great, epic film with a fantastic score and great battle scenes. It's always been one of my favorites.

Agreed.

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, D: Robert Aldrich

REAR WINDOW

One of Hitchcock's best and most thrilling films. To have a film take place in one apartment and still be able to hold the interest of the viewer just shows how great of a filmmaker Hitchcock was. Great performances from both Stewart and Grace Kelly.

Recount

Had a good laugh at the ending because it reminded of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Other than that, depressing.

I've only seen Storytelling and Happiness. I think I lean towards liking Storytelling more too, actually. But I really enjoyed both. My favourite in Storytelling is when the mothers claims that they're Holocaust survivors and in Happiness when the big woman is eating ice cream and explains her murder by saying "I'm a very passionate woman". Not sure why that was so funny, but it was...

I thought it was the worst movie of the year until I saw "Across the Universe."  It remains the 2nd worst.  To each his own!
