What's the Last Movie You Watched?

[relaxedanderson]

I started this year with a plan, that over the next 12 months I would watch 365 movies that I had never seen before.

Then I realised that that is nearly impossible time-wise so I decided to watch 250 films in the next 12 months that I had never seen before.

Then I realised that by averaging about 12 rental movies a month and including the 25 or so DVDs that I've bought but never watched I'm still bottoming out at about 170 films.

So the final target is 250 movies between 1st January 2011 and 31st December 2011, preferably ones that I have never seen before but also acceptable are films that I've only seen once; haven't seen in the last five years or have seen but can't remember much of what happened in it. There should be no more that about 10 movies all year that I have seen so many times that I could act them out.

So far this year I've seen...

Watched 127 hours last night as well. Great film. Got a bit teary eyed towards when he starts yelling help at the 3 people way out ahead of him. Would have been disappointed if it had left that scene out because it was so powerful and completed the film. 9/10.

I've watched it twice and teared up both times during that scene. Unbelievable scene.

Turns out a demon darth maul is creepy as fuck.
A solid horror flick that scares you without gore. The music was terrifying at the right times

Following on from this I've now watched...

Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight - :3star:

Not bad. I remember being scared as hell at this when I was a kid. Not so scary now. The Cryptkeeper still creeps me the fuck out, though.

Bigger, Stronger, Faster* - :5star:

Surprisingly balanced and insightful, but ultimately very depressing in a sense. When his host starts talking about steroids use in his family with his parent was a bit emotional, especially when his father pretty much predicted what would happen to Mad Dog.

Don't know if you heard or not, but Mad Dog died pretty soon after the documentary was released.

Mike Bell from Bigger, Stronger, Faster Found Dead - Film Junk

What's odd is they say he was clean 60 days prior to his death and an immediate cause of the death was not found. Don't know if they ever found out why he exactly died.

Source Code - Best film of the year, so far. Very strong.

[Solidrob]

Just watched.



Solid movie.

[BrntO4Life]

Watched The Men Who Stare at Goats and MacGruber.

Enjoyed both immensely.

[Atlas]

watched Hanna and Arthur today...

Hanna reminded me a bit of films like Run Lola Run and Leon, and it was a very entertaining movie with some nice fight scenes (the fight in the dockyard is pretty sweet, especially the knife work), but I didn't particularly enjoy the ending... Still a good movie though...

I didn't expect much going into see Arthur, and the first five to ten minutes were shit, but the movie got progressively better... Mirren and Brand have a good repartee with one another, and once the story started rolling along, I thoroughly enjoyed it (the scene at the end with the kids at the book reading is hilarious)...

[Twigg4075]

Finally watched Inception (bluray). 9/10

Pretty confusing but equally amazing. The audio and special effects were pretty damn stellar.

[BrntO4Life]

Watched Waiting for Superman.

Everyone needs to see this documentary. Well produced and highly informative.

Green Street Holligans

I watched this some time ago but its rerunning now on Starz or something. Really good.

[SHOGUN]

Dick Tracy - :3star:

Al Pacino as a hammy villain FTW.
