What Movies Have You Seen Recently?

I'm going out to see Iron Man today with my father. Happy Father's Day all you c-r.com dads.
 
We missed Iron Man, saw The Incredible Hulk instead. I really enjoyed it.
 
There's been a run of interesting looking movies lately that I have managed to miss at the theatre. Anybody happen to catch the next Narnia, Prince Caspian, and was it worth watching?

At home I watched "Who framed Roger Rabbit," again. :D

Yard saleing last weekend found a couple of classics; Gone with the Wind, and Spartacus. Had to watch both (first time for GwtW).

Got the new narnia... Just haven't been in the mood to watch that kinda film lol.... I'll maybe watch it for tomorrow had it for like a month it is gathering dust.... I'll let you know about it once I see it.

Wil: Every film puts all the parahrased good stuff in the trailer... Well pretty much... :p
 
Forbidden Kingdom:.... Awesome, Jet Li AND! AND! Jackie Chan. Basically aboot the monkey king :D (I love monkey.) Worth a watch, it is pretty cool. Predictable, but cooo.

Bucket List:... Not bad :)

Dan in real life: Very funny, Ironic, close quarters and awarkward. I relate to Dan in many ways..

Street Kings: Not normally my kind of movie... Not a fan of Keanu Reeves.... But, this was a very good film and I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Not sure if I mentioned it, Chronicles of Spiderwick: Get it, watch it, love it... Do it now.

Over her dead body: Funny, great film!!! :D
 
I watched one the other night called "Mother Night." It was written by Kurt Vonnegut and featured Nick Nolte, Alan Arkin, John Goodman and several others. It was rather confusing to a certain extent concerning post-war Nazis and some that I didn't know for sure if they were Nazis or not. I guess I'll have to see it again.
 
Conqueror of Shambala, an anime movie from Full Metal Alchemist. It is a "What if...?" taking place in the time just before the rise of Nazi Germany (our universe/plane of reality.)

I dislike the subtitles due to too many spelling/grammar mistakes (too disconcerting/jolting) but my Japanese is too weak to watch it without them.

Oh the joys of cross-cultural enlightenment...

My lovely wife came home the other day with a series, the best I can describe is a soap-opera or mini-series, set I am guessing about 200-300 years ago. My wife tells me it is in Korea, so naturally the actors are speaking Korean. My wife does not speak Korean, so we fiddled with the controls until we got the Chinese subtitles, which made my wife very happy. Last I checked she made it through about 7 of the 12 or so dvd disks, I managed about 1 1/2 of them.

Quite a learning experience for me; a soap opera (I don't do soaps) in Korean (I don't understand Korean) with Chinese subtitles (I don't read Chinese). Beautiful actors, great period costumes, lovely scenery...and I am clueless as to the finer details of story and plot.

I can't even tell anyone the name... :eek:
 
27 Dresses, Bucket List, Definitely Maybe, Baby Mama

Though none of them was bad, the only one I'd want to see again would be "Bucket List".

Finally finished night before last, 54 episodes (of about an hour each). Story as near as I can tell: girl meets boy, girl and boy flirt, girl obligated to duty and honor before boy, boy obligated to duty and honor before girl...fast forward to next to last episode: boy crosses prince, prince exiles boy, prince gets sick, girl tries to nurse prince even though she knows prince executed boy (because prince has his eye on girl). Now, the plot thickens...prince has girl kidnapped and carried away, town sees girl disappeared and abandoned prince on his deathbed; prince dies...however, girl is released and goes into exile only to find boy...forward 8 years, they have a daughter, and are escorted back to village where they are reinstated in their places, and the world is in harmony once again...

Yay.

And I still can't tell you what the name of the program is. :D
