What's the last movie you've seen?

[Gabu]

Pink Panther, with Steve Martin.

It wasn't nearly as bad as everyone swore it was, in my opinion.

[Gabu]

Brokeback Mountain -and I wish I hadn't seen it.  Must they make those gay sex scenes in that canvas tent so graphic?   

The moment I heard that Brokeback Mountain had gay sex scenes in it, I resolved then and there that I would never, ever, ever see that movie.  A movie about gay people does not need gay porn, thx.

I just yesterday saw Ice Age: The Meltdown on opening night.  It was fantastic; I highly recommend it to anyone who likes animated movies.

March of the Penguins was G-rated pablum that belongs on TV

You have no appreciation for art.

I agree. The Swedish voice over wasn't very good, unfortunately, but as a movie it was great. Stunning.

Stunning? It was a documentary on penguins. It should have been aired on Discovery or National Geographic.

If you don't want to see a documentary on penguins, you can always not go to the theatre it's being shown in.

I thought that it was a marvellous movie.  So what if it didn't have any humans in it?  The real-world story that the penguins went through in March of the Penguins was better than a lot of stories written specifically for a movie.  Plus, it had a bunch of cute pictures of animals.  Anyone who doesn't appreciate cute animals has no soul.

Also, the soundtrack was absolutely gorgeous; I immediately knew I wanted to buy it the moment I left the theatre.

Ice Age 2

Poor attempt at a sequel.

Stop living right now.

[Gabu]

The last movie I saw was Akeelah and the Bee.  It was surprisingly good, given its rather simple premise.  There was a quote presented in it that stuck with me long after the movie.

[Gabu]

I just got back from Flushed Away, and it was awesome.

[Gabu]

It was a hilarious movie, though to be honest Borat looked the most 'sane' in the scenes with the rodeo guy and later the megachurch

MAY GEORGE W. BUSH DRINK THE BLOOD OF EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD IN IRAQ, AND MAY YOU MAKE IRAQ UNINHABITABLE FOR A THOUSAND YEARS SUCH THAT NOT EVEN A LIZARD CAN LIVE THERE

[Gabu]

I saw The Pursuit of Happyness the other day.  It was really good; I think it was the best job I've seen from Will Smith to date.

[Gabu]

Happiness.

No, actually, it's spelled "happyness" in the title.  It's a reference to the daycare the main character sends his son to in the movie.  To illustrate how poor the neighborhood is, the word "happiness" in their version of the Declaration of Independence was misspelled, but no one wants to bother to get it fixed.

The movie is based on a true story, in which this actually was the case.

[Gabu]

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold

I read that for grade 12 English.  Good book, though I hated the ending.  Never knew it was made into a movie.

[Gabu]

You hated the ending?!?!? That part was awesome (unless it's different from the book, which I have to read), I loved the twist.

The film is quite good and Richard Burton (who would've been a great OO7 in his time) is fantastic...
http://imdb.com/title/tt0059749/

Not all of it.  I do agree that the twist was interesting.  I'm more talking about the very very end where they fail to get away and such.  I thought that was kinda dumb.

[Gabu]

K-PAX. Wow, how did I ever miss that movie? I mean, I know I only saw the "edited" version on Sci-Fi but edited or not, it was pretty dern good.

Oh and I also saw National Lampoons Van Wilder on comedy...it was funny but cheesy.

Ah, K-PAX.  That's some quality movieing right there.

[Gabu]

I just saw Idiocracy, which Fox for whatever reason has tried so hard to make me not know about.  Great movie.

[Gabu]

4. The Living Daylights

Finally! Someone besides me thinks The Living Daylights was amazing!

It's commonly recognized among the hardcore Bond fans as one of the best.

It's good to know that we have company

Not to mention a good theme song No joke.

I was just about to say this very comment.  I always like A-Ha.

[Gabu]

300. Fairly Boring aside from the visuals, which were amazing obviously - and is it just me or aren't all of Frank Miller's films at their root core just very god damn conservative?

300, achieves what many had thought impossible: making a case for Bush’s war in Iraq so clear, distinct, and fanatical that I half expected an Army recruiting station to be erected at the theater’s exits. It’s the cinematic equivalent of a battleground orgasm; a homoerotic parade of tight abs, facial hair, oiled chests, leather, steel, gritting teeth, and phallic weaponry so overpowering that it’s just about the best movie ever made with jingoistic intent.

Lol. I wasn't thinking of Iraq at all, but the attitude that Miller shows in his films strike me as... well... fascist, to say the least.

wtf?  I think you're thinking about the movie a wee bit too much.

[Gabu]

I just got back from Reign Over Me, and I never thought I'd say this about an Adam Sandler film, but... wow.  Give him the Oscar.  He deserves it.

[Gabu]

Silent Hill. Not very good IMHO.

I like the games the movie was based on, but I refuse to see the movie because I heard it was bad (as 99% of movies based on games tend to be).

[Gabu]

Airplane!: Fantastic!

Surely you can't be serious!

[Gabu]

I saw Away From Her last Saturday.  It was excellent.

[Gabu]

I saw Ratatouille yesterday.  It quickly became one of my favorite movies, ever.

[Gabu]

I saw The Bourne Identity for the first time today (my mom and I decided to go through the whole trilogy in one shebang over three weekends).  It was good.

[Gabu]

And, Gabu, watching 3 movies in 3 weeks does in no way qualify as a "shebang".

It does for me, given that I usually watch like three movies a year.

[Gabu]

We all have our tastes, Andrew.

Correct; you have your bad taste and others have better taste.
