Last movie you watched?

I'm surprised I'm posting this, but last night I watched a movie called Apocalypto, from Mel Gibson.

 

I won't even pretend to understand all the nuances, but for a film with no English and subtitles, with a run time over 2 hours, and having the name Mel Gibson attached to it, I was very engaged throught. It's about an ancient Mayan kingdom, their kidnap, and one man's struggle to return to a life of peace. I don't post often here and for me to give a glowing recommendation, it had to be a bit hit with me. I wouldn't describe it as an arthouse flick, but definitely artsy, graphic (in good and I'm sure bad, to some, in ways), and visually stimulating.

 

I would watch it again in a heartbeat, just to pick up some things I missed/didn't comprehend the first time.

yep, that was a good movie

PROJECT X (2012)

a plotless teenage party movie, regarding three best friends that want to celebrate one of the guy's birthday by inviting every people so they can get famous, but the party turns out to be much wilder and crazier than they expect. One thing that'll bother you as a parent or older guys is that if this thing happens to you, then your kid is completely fucked up, but another thing will probably reminds you of your crazy days as teenager, 'been there done that' kinda thing :D

 

just a simple fun 1.5 hours waster and to quote Jimmy Kimmel, he never seen teenage boobs everywhere here since R Kelly's bday party lol

Yeah I wasn't expecting much from it but it turned out to be pretty good...not normally my cup of tea as I don't like to read my movies...

Bridesmaids

 

Decent overall, with several VERY funny scenes, but if you took Melissa McCarthy's character out of the movie, it would have been a 2 hour snoozefest...

"Our Man Flint" (1965)

First of the 60s spy spoofs starring James Coburn as super agent Derek Flint, agent of Z.O.W.I.E., who makes the ladies swoon while saving the world from a group of mad scientists who've developed weather-controlling technology. Goofy-on-purpose, good fun.

It's not like I keep up with the times or anything, but last night I saw 3:10 To Yuma and, as much as I thought I'd hate it because Russell Crowe was in it, I have to say, I thought it was a pretty damn good movie, if not a bit formulaic.

 

To boil it down, it's a gritty Western-type movie with a build to a thumbs-up conclusion, altlhough it's not an everything worked out fine ending.

THE BORGIAS - Season 2 (2012)

my fave series so far, this and Game of Thrones are what makes TV series brilliant, and both were only 10 episodes, so not dragged too long with many pointless conversation, every scene is just essential.

the acting is so natural and stunning, Jeremy Iron is a god! Lookin' forward to Season 3, a must watch if you haven't seen this!

 

THE KILLING - Season 2 (2012)

a bit anti-climax at the end, quite predictable halfway through the movie which one's suspicious, and the whole plot isn't really strong. This type of killing should have been solved in one single episode of Criminal Minds while they dragged it into 2 seasons.

However, not a bad series, if Season 3 came out, I probably still gonna watch it, but perhaps won't be missed if it's cancelled.

Fright Night (2011 version with Collin Ferrell)

 

I like the original better, but as far as re-dos go, it ain't bad...

    • New song 'Burning Like A Falling Star' from the forthcoming album 'Full Circle'.    
    • Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".  
    • So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger  
    • New song 'Chase The Sun'.    
    • Super Sabre - Sugar and Spice *This is actually a full album, “Chasing the Rabbit”, with a complete band backstory included in the YT description. “Sugar and Spice” is the opening track…  
    • EP out August 16th on Black Lodge Records. Since the release of the album "Now!", Roulette has embarked on a remarkable musical journey. Over the years, released several digital singles, each contributing to the evolving story of the band. As Roulette gear up for the new summer single "Love's The Drug", we're thrilled to announce the release of our special collection, the EP "From Now Until Today". This EP gathers all the singles released since "Now!", encapsulating the essence of Roulettes latest musical explorations. For the loyal fans, the physical releases also included a special bonus track that you won't find anywhere else-exclusively on this EP. Tracklist: LOVES THE DRUG READY FOR FRIDAY NIGHT LIFE WILL GO ON SUMMER DAY TEST OF TIME
    • I like the album art. I love when contemporary Glam Metal bands have album art with a genuine 80s vibe to it.
    • Nope, for a while, I used to think Rapunzel from Tangled (2010) was hot... But then I stopped being attracted to cartoon characters.
    • This is definitely the first time I've heard about it, I'll have to give it a listen!
