What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

I'm pretty sure William Powell never made a bad movie.

Meh. Maybe it's me but much of the 80's **** just doesn't resonate with me like cinema before of after.

I agree. The only thing I really remember about that movie is that Laura San Giacomo earned a spot in The Rotation for a while. Other than that, only the title was memorable.
 
Just saw Water For Elephants
Enjoyed it
a wee bit hackneyed at times, but overall it was good

The 3D was terrible or the movie was terrible?



Also I thought Thor made the best use of 3D I had seen yet in a movie. Instead of throwing things out of the screen into the audience to irritatingly constantly take you out of the movie, it used 3D as depth into the world they were portraying, like looking through a window. I thought it was pretty good. Other than the standard 3D problem for people who wear glasses anyway and the 3D glasses being blurry at the periphery of my vision so I constantly have to refocus to see things on the edges of the screen.
 
How was Christoph Waltz?

Did he kill Robert Pattinson for being a jew? Is his forehead scar healing nicely?

??? I'm not getting the references here. Reese Witherspoon was terrific, the guy who played Jacob was good but perhaps played the role a little too sappy for my tastes (though it was sort of a sappy type of role) and the guy who played the ringmaster (the husband to Reese aka Marlena) was great.

And I thought I was paying attention throughout the movie, but I missed any references to religion.

anyhow, I've been watching this one on and off for a couple days, about one of my sports heroes - good historical footage, both fight and non-fight related

I never knew Ernie Terrell was such a good singer!

What a horrid movie with retarded characters that fall for every ruse, trick and lie that Carrey's character floats out there. All the gay sex doesn't help the movie any either.

Gay sex and retards...

I'm intrigued.

This would be a valid criticism except .... wait for it ... all those things are based in fact and actually worked. Reading a lengthy Esquire piece on the guy reveals that almost all of things in the film, including the AIDS fake-out, actually happened.

I sincerely hope you're kidding. For the record, it's this exact attitude that kept the movie from getting released for quite some time. Really sad.

It was the love story that inspired Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the screenwriting partners who gave the world Bad Santa, to write and direct a film about Russell. They pitched the story, says Requa, to a studio affiliated with the publisher of the 2003 nonfiction book about this con man.

"And that didn't go so well," he says. Adds Ficarra: "Their only comment was, 'Could Phillip be a girl?' "

Requa says he and Ficarra wanted to make a classic romantic comedy, but with two gay men in the kind of roles that Doris Day and the closeted Rock Hudson played in the 1950s.

"To say that the subject matter, the gay subject matter ... played no part in our distribution problems would be a lie," Requa says. "I mean, it did. We went with a distributor who was not one of the major independent distributors at Sundance because I believe that the larger distributors were afraid of it. Because it wasn't a gay message movie, and it was a frank depiction of gay life."

And yes, "I Love You Phillip Morris" was one of my top 10 films of 2010.
 
I saw Thor over the weekend. I thought it was not quite as good as Iron Man, but better than Iron Man 2 or either of the last two Hulk movies. It had a decent blend of comedy, action, over-the-top Marvel antics, and cheesy lines to appeal to a wide audience.

Avengers Assemble!!! My inner child geeked out.
