Last movie you watched?

Me and You and Everyone We Know

I liked it ok. Though I got the message I felt my relationship with the characters fell short. Plus, I don't really enjoy when arthouse films use the schtick of making socially passe subjects seem normal. To me it's a kind of cheap way to make people who still find stuff like that appauling seem "out" of the matued, enlightened, frame of thought for film. What's more it wasn't really necessary for the film. She was able to make the socially unacceptable situations funny but that's really where it stopped for me.

But like I said before, I thought the film was ok. Some of the highlights for me were the scenes involving the art curator, yeah, all of them. Plus I liked the way all the short-list of characters end up connecting throughout the film. I also liked the digital media scenes (shoes, "Macaroni" etc).

it never gets old.
 
Its an oldie and ive seen it before, but i watched "Gothika" last night, its a very confusing movie, but definitely a great one.

Caught this cutie on late night cable :) Watching Chinese idiosyncracies up on the big screen always makes me cringe as it reminds me too much of my own family ;)
 
Next

Nic Cage is a Las Vegas (I see a trend here!) magician who is gifted with being able to see the future in 2 minute windows. Disengage the brain kind of stuff, as most Hollywood is, but I really quite liked it. Cage has a had a few ropey one's of late, but this is better by far.
 
"skeleton key"

it was ok, but not nearly as good of a surprise ending as they made it out to be in the previews.
 
Clean: Maggie Cheung is fading rock star trying to get off heroin and get custody of her child.

Weird cameos from Tricky, the guy from Mazzy Star, Canadian indie band Metric, and some guy from the Bad Seeds.

Has its moments, but some of the acting is pretty bad and the ending is weak. Plus, I never buy Chung as a recovering addict - she never seems particularly strung out. Take the H out, make her a stuck up rock star who's past her peak and can't live in the real world, and the story works quite well.
 
The Doors.

I love Oliver Stone, but don't really know what to make of it. A different film experience though, nonetheless.

Spectacular! First time seeing them. I am getting into these campy movies bigtime. Time to roll anudda one and put on something else!
 
Green Street Hooligans- Had potential but Elijah Wood is simply NOT a convincing football hooligan. I tended to think it was a poorly contrived attempt at an edgy, indie role for Elijah to shake off his Frodo Baggins image. Other than that, it was ok I guess...
 
The Fountain

loved it. but it was very sad, although the film's message is ultimately life-affirming, imo. will post a semi-review in the movie's thread.
