What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

I saw Natural Born Killers last night, I'd never seen it before

it was amusing through about the first half, then it seemed redundant

and it made me think of the discussion in the pitbull thread!

I enjoyed this one.

An illegal immigrant trying to make a better life for himself and his son gets his lawn mowing truck stolen and then recovers it just in time to get deported. It was interesting.

Thanks. I have the same problem. I appreciate the suggestion and will try it next time I post an image.
 
No problem.




Oh and the last movies I saw were "Captain America", and "Unknown", which, other than the HUGE deus ex machina of her randomly looking 10 stories up in some random abandoned parking garage to save the day, was a decent mystery/thriller, but really in the end pretty derivative and a premise that has nearly been done to death.

"Captain America" was pretty well-done for a super hero movie, but in this genre they are really struggling in 2 regards: 1) Finding a way to make bad guys believable, tough and ruthless without being stupid or using pure deus ex machina techniques, and still make it reasonable that the good guy can win, and 2) Finding ways to separate the heros. Really they are all the same guy, all noble and fearless and selfless, etc. which is not bad, but it is getting kind of boring. I thought Green Lantern did a decent job of making Hal Jordan a little different from the cookie cutter heroes and the new Batman movies have done a fairly good job of it too, if you can ignore the WAY heavy-handed use of voice mod to make his voice sound almost unintelligibly gravely and breathy. Otherwise, most are just the same guy with different outfit and maybe a different trick, but that's about it.

While I hated Bale's voice originally, I've gotten use to it and realize it makes sense that Bruce Wayne would try to change his voice in his other persona so that no one recognized him.

That said, Keaton used the same basic voice as Wayne and Batman and it did nothing to hurt the films.

Christopher Nolan seems to always get the worst out of actors. Just ****ing terrible.

Inception, Memento. The low, breathy, uber-serious delivery is present in all his movies I've seen. I can't stand it.

I love most of his films but can see where you're coming from. I wouldn't say he's heavy-handed but I could see how people would feel he is.
 
Had a double feature of "Captain America" and "Bridesmaids" this weekend. Enjoyed them both a lot.

I have no issues with changing the voice. I think it would be expected. But I just thought that the way they went about it was distracting enough from the film to take me out of the momenet.

But that is something that I really liked about The Green Lantern was when she saw right throught the disguise and saw that it was Hal as the Green Lantern. Often the disguises are so thinly veiled you have to assume everyone is a complete moron not to figure out who it is (*cough*Clark Kent*cough*).
 


happy to see them back. didn't know what to think about the story being centered around a new muppet but they made it work pretty well. it had it's hits and misses but good movie nonetheless i'd give it a B.
