What's the last movie that you saw? Was it any good? Let's just talk about movies. To start things off, you can give your opinion about the last movie(s) you've seen and others can choose to give their own opinions about that movie or give their opinion about a movie they're seen recently. Quite simple really.

I've seen Braindead for the umpteenth time at the Evil Reaper's slumber party, and it was awesome. It's really difficult to see why Peter Jackson was chosen to do Lord of the Rings after you've seen this classic horrormovie. If you like Evil Dead, this is a good choice as well. It's still the goriest movie I've ever seen. The bad acting makes the movie really cheesy, and that's exactly what gives it the right atmosphere as a horrorcomedy.

Team America: World Police was brilliant as well. It was great comedy, although I like Southpark better. And the fact that Samuel L. Jackson gets killed in this movie doesn't help, but that's not something to judge the entire movie on of course, but that still sucked. ;)

And Wallace & Gromit, I'll just copy my little review I made in the freeform topic. I hadn't thought about this topic yet when I posted it there.

Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit was absolutely fantastic. The dry, English humor and the adorable characters made this movie enjoyable beyond any movie I've seen this year, and it made me wonder if even the anticipated(by me anyway) Tim Burton's Corpse Bride can touch this. The humor was great, I smiled the entire frikkin movie, and frequently laughed at the brilliant jokes the movie contains. The characters are really great, and the large variety of facial expressions with these clay figures really help to express their emotions, and make them loveable or (in the villains case) despisable. Wallace is really funny as he tries to invent his way out of trouble, after which Gromit has to try and control the damage Wallace causes. This was the case in the old W&G movies, and it's still the case. Only this time things really get out of hand, when all the vegetables in town are being threatened by the were-rabbit, a result of one of Wallace's experiments. W&G are going to try and capture this monster, and save the annual vegetable contest. The story is very nice and it contains great homages to old classic werewolf movies and movies like King Kong. The thing I like best about this movie is Gromit. He doesn't speak, he doesn't even have a mouth, but he is still the one character in this movie who shows the largest number of different emotions. By just moving his eyebrows and making gestures with his front paws, he can tell you everything what he wants, and I think that's amazing. It makes him adorable, and every time you see him look at someone or a certain situation, it's just a simple gesture or movement of eyebrows that let's the viewer know EXACTLY what Gromit thinks. This movie has a lot of action too, and I wondered very often how some of the scenes were made. The action sequences are not only funny, but they're exciting as well, and things are happening that I would never have expected to see in a stop-motion animated movie. Everything about this movie is great, and the charm of British humor has made me crazy enough to pay for another ticket at the cinema.

And another thing, the movie may be short with only 85 minutes, but it's compensated by a short movie before the W&G movie with the penguins from Madagascar. I haven't seen Madagascar yet, but this short was really hilarious, and a great addition to the W&G movie.

The Great Escape is a good Movie :D

The Great Escape written by James Clavell and W.R. Burnett, and directed by John Sturges is a famous 1963 World War II film, based on a true story about Allied POWs with a record for escaping from POW camps. The Nazis and Gestapo place them in a new more secure German camp, from which they promptly form a plan to break out as many as 250 men.

The story was inspired by an actual escape from prison camp Stalag Luft III in 1944. While the film condenses various aspects of time and place, a disclaimer claims it to be true to the original as much as possible. This includes all the real-life details of the plans, tunnels, successes and tragic outcome of the "great escape." Paul Brickhill, an inmate of the original camp, wrote an account of the escape under the same name, upon which the film was based. However, despite the presence of the film's high-profile American stars, few Americans were involved in the actual escape. The Americans present were actually serving in either the British or Canadian military (mostly the RAF or RCAF, but John Dodge was in the British army). The POWs were mainly British, Canadian and Australian. (Refer to the prison camp link for more historical details.)


Featuring an all-star cast—including Steve McQueen (whose motorcycle chase is the film's most remembered action scene), Richard Attenborough, James Coburn, James Garner, Charles Bronson, and Donald Pleasence—The Great Escape is regarded as a classic and frequently repeated on television. The march tune that serves as the film's main theme, written by Elmer Bernstein, has also become an easily recognisable classic.

Memento, what a great movie. It was about a guy who has short-term memory loss, like Dory in Finding Nemo. His wive has been killed, and he's after the murderer. To do that, he gets the clues he collects to be tattood on his body. He takes pictures of persons around him to remember them. The brilliant thing about this movie, is that it's told backwards. Basically, the movie goes from the ending to the beginning. That makes it really interesting to watch, and I thought the "ending" was incredible.

Didn't saw that movie :( Last one I've seen was Wallace & Gromit :P And that movie was funny. Unfortunatly I never watched the old W&G movies, but if they are the same as the movie I really want to watch them aswell :D :D
O yeah I am really looking forward to watch Chronicles of Narnia, it is based on a novel and it is a bit lotr style :D

Well, I haven't read the novel, but I have seen a very bad cartoon of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. So I know the story and I could see that it would be amazing if it was done correctly, not in that BAD cartoon I saw. By the way, a new trailer is now available, and it seems the lion Aslan officially has been given the voice of Liam Neeson, cool!!!

Here's the trailer: A flopsiehopsie kewl linky just for ye!!!

Yesterday I saw Final Destination, I never saw it completly before, and I just had to see it. It's a really great movie, I love a movie were you grip you chair firmly awaiting something exiting. I don't think it was a scary movie though, but definatly exiting :D.

Well, all the unexpected stuff happening in the movie just makes it very original. Sometimes I was just completely surprised, or it was totally LMAO, in a good way. It's just a very fun movie. You should see the sequel, not nearly as good, but the opening sequence definitely ROCKS!

Yesterday, i saw "Good Bye, Lenin!" on DvD, a very good film.
Good bye, Lenin! is a German tragic comedy film, released internationally in 2003.

To protect his fragile mother from a fatal shock after a long coma, a young man must keep her from learning that her beloved nation of East Germany as she knew it has disappeared.

WOW thnx for the trailer Denden that film is REALLY cool...a little bit lotr style, but I like it. By the way I saw Bourne Identity....just another action movie :P

I saw Gangs of New York just now. With the gorgeous Cameron Diaz...oh and some amazing acting of Leonardo Dicaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis too of course. I can see why the movie didn't win any of the oscars it was nominated for, though. It was a great movie, but not very impressive, except for the awesome role of Daniel Day-Lewis and Cameron Diaz's looks, but that's not enough to make this movie a classic or anything. But like I said, great movie.

I've watched The Bourne Supremacy...it isn't a very good movi. But some great stunts ;) well for everyone who don't know where it is about. It is about a man who suffers from amnesia, so he doesn't know who he is (poor him). Well he founds out he is a secret agent trained to kill.

EDIT:
Ow last night I watched minority Report ;) nive movie

By the way a saw a short intro of resident evil....men that movie ROCKS!!! Really creepy and stuff. Ow well I think Doom would be a great movie to :P

Wazzupdude, Resident Evil is a crappy action-movie that has got nothing to do with the excellent horror in the gameseries and it's only fun to watch how horrible special effects are and see people being sliced up by lasers, that's about it. And don't even get me started with Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse, even worse...Resident Evil deserved better than these movies.

If you want to see a good zombiemovie, I recommend Dawn of the Dead(the '78 and 2004 version, both are very good), Night of the Living Dead('67 or '90 version) and Day of the Dead. Zombie 2 and Land of the Dead are also enjoyable. Zombie 2 has one of the grossest scenes I have ever seen.

I have seen Scream 2 last night. I like the Scream movies, they're an interesting watch for all slashermovie-lovers and they're funny.

ow ok Resident evil LOOKED like a great movie, but I never played the games :P To scary for me ;) But if only the graphics are good....well...I didn't watched it anyway :P

Man, I even got scared in Halo, that's why I will probably be scared to death by DOOM3, but I wanna buy it anyway :P.

I've watched Resident Evil on the Cube....the first level was freaky....I even got scared in Timespliters....not really scared, but you know...creepy music...zombies...room where everything moves in...ehm never mind :P
