    Re: What movie did you last watch?

    Bought Planet Terror on DVD today, love it.

    I didn't really like Religilous. I mean, it's just Bill Maher highlighting an orthodoxy whose orthodoxy is making fun of everyone else's orthodoxy. The only thing I took from it is that we're all crazy in some shape or form, and I don't think that's what Bill intended, but hey.

      Valkyrie. Excellent movie (as expected from Bryan Singer). I don't know what all the negative press is about.

        Disturbia - 6/10

        Caught this on a bus cause I was too tired to read a book and was expecting utter trash -- especially since it's basically just a bastardized Rear Window. But it was actually very engaging, well structured/paced and relatively suspenseful, even if the entire final 20 minutes are completely over the top and absurd. More importantly, Shia continues to surprise me with his ability to not come off as a douchebag and/or dunce and that broad is a fox. Sorta looking forward to Transformers 2 now for another winning combination of those two things.

          I just finished watching old school with Will Ferrell. Pretty funny movie if you like that kind of comedy.

            I too think Liar, Liar is in the top tier of Carrey movies (D&D was great though).

              Once you hit 40 it becomes rather disturbing.

                  Well I don't really care for D and D but I love Blazing Saddles.

                    Cause people were expecting Bond meets Saving Private Ryan.

                    I went for the history of the movie. It was no der untergang, but it was intriguing.

                      Little Children - 8/10

                      This is a slow, dialogue-driven movie from In the Bedroom director Todd Field about the doldrums of passionless life in suburban America, focusing on the interacting lives of a stay-at-home mom, a stay-at-home dad, a careerless shamed police officer and a pedophile.

                      The whole thing follows a fairly predictable plot line (some of which is Crash-level cornball), but most of the sequential developments of the story aren't really the point. The story is more told through the reactionary shots, body language and awkward character interactions in response to the dialogue/events that occur throughout -- something that the director and the acting performances craft into a riveting and clever exposition on this topic.

                      One other interesting notes it the narration device that Field uses often throughout, something that is stand-out for the wry/ironic, half nature-documentary/half-NFL Films feel it adds to the film.

                      A lot of people won't like this movie at all, but I thought it was a very, very well made one.

                          Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

                              I still enjoy this one. It has some humour but also is pretty sad. A few moments that tug at the old heart strings.

                                "Who Killed the Electric Car"

                                I found it interesting although I wonder how much manipulation was involved in its telling of 'facts'?

                                I did find it interesting the cars were destroyed rather than sold 'as-is' when they decided not to allow renewals of the leases.
