The "last movie I saw" thread

[Portland Ute]

By "Lady in Black", do you mean "Woman in Black"? And by "Frodo Baggins", do you mean "Harry Potter"?

Yeah, something like that.



I think I'll just go sit on the sidelines of this thread for a while.

My wife and I saw this on the Documentary Channel: http://www.generalbuttnakedmovie.com/

It is about an extremely brutal Liberian warlord that converts to Christianity and begins his own ministry. It is a thought-provoking film. Can someone who was guilty of so much evil truly repent? Has he really repented? Just how infinite is the Atonement?

The most powerful moment in the film is where the lone survivor of a family who was killed during the war forgave the former general for what he had done.

I watched Moneyball.

Thought it sucked.

My wife thought the same.

I saw Chronicle, and it was an enjoyable movie. I agree with Green Lantern that the actors did a really good job. The thing that overshadowed the movie, however, was the trailer for Act of Valor. I hadn't even heard of this movie before last night, but I'm definitely going to see it.

Because they're making the "active duty" angle the centerpiece of the marketing effort, is it safe to assume these guys were allowed to do this because the military sees it as a way of recruiting? Otherwise I can't imagine they would have found the time to do this.

I saw the trailer at a movie a couple weeks ago and for the first bit actually thought it was a military recruiting commercial. Casting active duty personnel is definitely an interesting angle.

Really enjoyed "50/50". Anna Kendrick is my hero.

Watched A Dangerous Method, and was mostly convinced that I'm sick of Keira Knightley and that I might love Michael Fassbender. Also reminded that I miss my philosophy classes but I don't miss Freud. At all.

Bumping because of time stamp issue.

We saw this one as well. We enjoyed it but I think it mainly served to make me interested in reading more about that story.

I looked on Wikipedia, and apparently, the project began as a recruitment commercial for the Naval Special Warfare Command. There weren't a lot of details on Wikipedia on how it changed to a film, but it looks like it will be a good movie.

Next weekend Hottie will be located in the dark corner of a theater watching Shame.

I just saw a documentary on "Red Tails" that George Lucas helped get made. It's called "Double Victory," and is showing on The History Channel. Watch for it. One of the most moving stories I have ever seen.

To honor the Tuskegee Airmen, George Lucas executive produced and financed the action-packed "Red Tails." But he didn't stop there.

The "Star Wars" creator also is the producer of "Double Victory," a documentary about the pioneering African-American aerial combat group that airs this weekend on the History Channel. It tells the story of their valiant efforts to fight the Nazis in Europe and their struggle against racism and segregation in their own country.

Cuba Gooding Jr., one of the stars of "Red Tails," narrates the documentary.

What if I told you I'd already seen it, and it made me so sad for the state of the human race?
