      Re: What movie did you last watch?

      The best discription is that you feel like you're there and not just watching a movie. There is no sensationalism, nothing is heavy handed, there is no sappy story, the director/writer knows the events are the strory. Even the famous phrase, "Let's roll" is just kinda thrown out there, unlike most movies that would have made that into some momumental rally cry.

      Unless there are some great award winning type films this year, I expect "United 93 " to be nominated for the best picture award at the end of this year.

      Having said all this some might not like the movie just because it is told rather straightforwardly, and when it ends it ends, or there might be some who don't want to re-live the events of that day.

        Just rented "One flew over the cuckoo's nest"...haven't seen it in a while and i just read the book for class....loved it loved it loved it.

        also, yesterday, i watched "Matchstick Men"....a little slow at times, but i really really liked it. killer ending...wasn't expecting it at all. kind of made me sad...i know some haven't seen it so i will say no more.

          The Cave...it's been a while since I've seen a decent monster movie. I enjoyed it for what it was, don't think I'd watch it again and in a few months I'll have forgotten all about it.

          Ultraviolet...bad writing, bad acting, bad pacing...but it sure was pretty to look at. The first 15 minutes are a visual feast. After that, it seems to run out of ideas.

          The Chronicles of Narnia: The Really Long Movie Title...good movie, nice feeling of nostalgia, I remember reading the book growing up. The special effects were stunning. Great score as well.

          I saw a bit of one of the Cremaster movies somewhere, a long time ago. Suffice to say...I just didn't get it. Modern art is beyond me, I think - I'm beginning to suspect I'm not a cultured guy at all.

              United 93.

              If you go to see this movie and you don't get at least somewhat emotional during it, I'm not sure you have a soul. Just like Hicks, the theater I went to was completely silent as we were leaving.

                The Aristocrats

                Even filthier than I expected. It crosses pretty much every line there is. Too many lines for me, in fact, as some of the material made me so uncomfortable it ceased to be funny. I gave up after about 20 minutes or so. It might have worked a little better if it had stayed with one comedian for a little longer. The jumping between them seemed to let the really vile stuff hang in the air for too long. You never had a chance to really start laughing at the material where you might not be so acutely aware of the troubling nature of some of it.

                On top of that the sound on the DVD wasn't quite sync'd up with peoples lips. I'm going to hear about my choice of rentals from my wife for quite a while. I'll probably have to rent a dozen "chick flicks" before she trusts me at the video store by myself.


                So, to remove some of the "stain" of that movie, I pulled out my copy of:

                Casablanca

                Best. Movie. Ever.

                All that fiber optic gear / still cannot take away the fear / like an island song

                      First time watching it. It was alright, it was funny when people just kept ripping off their faces and being different people.

                            Reign of Fire. Not too bad a movie, good action.
                            Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
