my last one was... hmmm... if in a proper cinema, I think Avatar (ages ago). If any movie at home, Madame Satã, a Brazilian movie.

Such a great movie, with my lovely Brad Pitt.
But in comparison with Tarantino's other movies, It was my last favorite.

It's a parody on almost all American movies about WWII. A lot of sarcasm, but I'm not sure that it's enough for "the great movie".

Tarantino was dead for me with launching "Kill Bill". It's hard to believe that it's the same director as one who shot "Pulp Fiction".

Well I agree that it's nothing comparable to "Pulp Fiction", but I admire Tarantino alot and every movie with him is interesting for me, even "Death Proof"!

and "Kill Bill" is one of my favorites, revenge hahahhahaha!

The last film I checked out was The Fourth Kind - they claim it is based on "actual" events and yes, it surely was inexplicably frightening but sadly one fictional hoax..
I lost a little respect for the well-known actors who participated in this film. Especially as they speak to the audience for a minute prior to the actual movie about it's authenticity and warning for disturbing sequences.
I mean common, the "real" woman who is portrayed by an actor and shown in archived footage is even listed on imdb.com as an ACTRESS haha....oh hollywood

"Kavin Spacy" is brilliant, and my favorite qoute from the movie was: "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him..."

I just bought that movie. It was not easy but I found it rather ordinary and predictable. Probably the such kind of a film is not my cup of tea.

I wrote all of them. Unfortunately there is nothing new to add.

Betty Blue (37,2 la matin) is my first recommendation. From the recent "Gran Torino" by Clint Eastwood is the perfect film.

SHUTTER ISLAND

American Zombie.

MASSKHARA ? wonderful Algerian movie

Just watched Ray (yeah late pass!), and all I can say is WOW! Jamie Foxx is an incredibly talented man.

"Empire of the sun", story of a little boy who tries to survive the war, pretty amazing...

'The Constant Gardener', great movie, story is pretty scary and the cinematography is fantastic, '

'Tea with Mussolini' directed by Franko Zefireli, nice muvie too

The chorus , its old but good film, i advise it u all ...

i seen movie A-Team

"The Human Contract" - is the movie, which has toughed me for pretty long period. It's about a sudden relationship between successfull L.A. brand-manager, who is on the verge of multi-billion contract, and a perfect stranger gorgeous Michael (Spaniard Paz Vega), who does not accept any rules.

Recently one friend of mine said that we all need some substitution for religion. Fortunately, films like that show that it's not necessary true.

Ufortunately for the box-office, the movie is too European but high heels and a small piece of flesh are available.

saw Knight and DAy with my frnd..ysterday
and i gtta say enjoyed every scene of it..
its worth of watching in cinema than acctually downloadin it or gettin a DVD

Batman:Under the Red hood nice !!

I saw it too..
But i didnt think it was GOOD..it was just like a REGULAR TIME PASS MOVIE..
anyways thats what i think..

Just watched "Inception", well I like De Caprio in every movies, and I ve heard a loooot about this movie before watching it. Direction was awesome and the story and the whole idea was great, but in the end I think it was too "hollywood"! not sure why!

Where is Chief anyways??

"Eat, pray, Love"

Very inspiring! It gave me the idea to do the same thing, go to Italy, India and Bali! Well maybe when I get older of course!

Anyways Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem were lovely as always, although I liked Bardem more in Vicky,Chirstina,Barcelona. Scenery, direction and music were nice too.

Last movie I saw was The roommate

Knigh and Day. Top Gear made me to but it was great.

real steal...
a suspicious movie with lot of anxiety and full of action

i like that...........


thanks for sharing.........

the last movie i seen was "insidious" its very scary but i liked it.

(Re)watched quite some movies lately.

Movies for me fall into 4 categories:

-Those I stop watching after 20 minutes. Those are most of movies for me.
-Those I finish
-Those I still think about next day
-Those I want to see again

Here some movies I saw the last few weeks and want to see again (some I watched recently again):

-Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

I doubt many people know what this movie is about. It is not about true love, on the contrary. Its about Borderline. Once you realize this every sentence and every scene has one or more double meanings. Excellent performance of Kate Winslet in an excellent movie and one of the few Jim Carrey movie I like.

-Crazy heart

I didn't know Jeff Bridges had such a nice voice. He plays a country singer in his aftermath. He is an alcoholic and leans on his former hits. He gets romantically involved with a younger woman. He messes up because of his alcohol problem.


-The town

Never liked any Benn Affleck movie, but I liked this one. Ben plays Doug Mcray. A criminal, a member of the Irish maffia robbing banks in Boston. He wants out and settle down. This is not appreciated by some others. Also an excellent role of Blake Lively, who portrays a white trash drug addict, with a memorable quote:

"Why is it always me the one who's getting used?"

-The Lemon Tree

I watched it again. The background is the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. A Palestinian woman fight for her lemon tree orchard, that has to be cut down for Israeli security reasons. The nicest underlying story for me is the friendship between the Arab and Israeli woman, without them having actually spoken a word with each other. Acting is not so good, but there are some nice story lines that made it worthwhile for me to watch it again, although I donot agree who the conflict is portrayed.

And I watched Terminator 2 again, but I do that on a monthly basis.

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Thought it was very good, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved Simon Pegg in it, he always makes me laugh.

Great to see the shots they filmed in Dubai, although I'd love to know where that souk was when they ran out of DIFC lol

Also the Mumbai party scene was shot in the Burj Al Arab - not Mumbai lol

Last movie i'm watched is............CORIOLANUS.
