The "last movie I saw" thread

[Gidget]

By saying "Kill Bill" without saying which one, I or II, I hope you mean to say that you watched both of them back to back. I loved both Kill Bills, but I think they only attain 'magnum opus' status as a single whole.

These movies blew me away. I freakin' luv'em.

The last movie I watched was JAWS. I forgot how gruesome it was in spots. And there was the naked chick at the beginning. Submission for understatement of the day: My guess is that if it were released today it wouldn't get the PG rating from the MPAA that it got in 1975.

It Might Get Loud.

Documentary with three pretty decent guitarists.

That one is also in my Netflix queue and taking longer than I want it to.

I saw Book of Eli on Friday. Didn't love it, but didn't hate it.

For some reason the checkout guy at Trader Joe's felt the need to tell me that he had recently seen this film, and that he thought I would really like it.

That's because you were wearing your Mila Kunis shirt.

"American Splendor". I liked it. I had no knowledge of the comic book series prior to the film, but the way they told the story was quite creative. I especially appreciated the secondary roles for James Urbaniak and Judah Friedlander.

I just watched GET SHORTY again. One of my favorite "anytime" movies. It's almost at quotable as LEBOWSKI.

I just watched Dazed and Confused for the first time and really was expecting much more from it. Me and my high expectations....

No movie has made me vacillate as many times between, "really clever and really good" and "ok, but over-rated". I have only seen the edited version they show every 17 days on TNT or FX, so some important scenes or plot devices may be edited out. I will say much of the film does remind me of my older brother and the friends he hung out with HS, they looked and talked EXACTLY like the characters. He even had one friend as annoying and sadistic as Fred (Ben Affleck). I do like it more after 5 or 6 viewings than I did the first time I saw it.

My brother and I just went to the monthly Free Movie Night at Brewvies in Salt Lake. They screened ARMY OF DARKNESS and it was awesome. The crowd were all huge fans and every Bruce Campbell line was greeted with roars of approval. I love that movie.

I've got it right now. I've made 2 attempts at watching it-- fell asleep both times. I like it, it's just that I watch it late and the music is so damned pleasant.

Hotel Rwanda: holy shit. Heavy stuff, but great movie.

I got it last night but haven't watched it yet.

I did finish Inglorious Basterds the other night, which I loved. Took me three full shifts to watch that one. I saw the first half on Christmas Eve in Utah, and then had to wait to get it from Netflix when I got back home to Seattle. It took my two viewings from there since the first time I put it on it was 1am and I only made it through about 30 mins before passing out.

I took a long lunch Monday and saw "Legion". I was pleasantly surprised, but only because I went in with very, very low expectations. That said, I'm a sucker for Paul Bettany, so I'm probably giving the movie too much credit.

Spoiler for "Legion":

It's essentially a zombie movie with a not-really-that-clever-and-actually-very-confusing twist. Some decent action scenes (although not enough of them), some laugh out loud moments (some intentionally funny, others not so much) and plenty of forced one-liners. The special effects really struggled at times, and there is one particular scene (set in heaven?) that is unintentionally hilarious. Once I stopped caring about the illogical premise of the entire plot, I actually enjoyed it.
