Last movie you watched?

Just watched Doc Hollywood. Never managed to see this one before. Pretty typical, predictable romcom, but great characters, which made for an enjoyable watch. If the characters are good, a film could be about pretty much anything. By the same token, a film could have a great story, but if the characters are poorly developed, it can be really hard work. (Are you listening, Mr Lucas?)

"Terminator: Salvation" (2009)

 

Fourth installment in the "Terminator" series takes us into the future, where the human resistance is about to launch a major offensive against Skynet, and a now-grown John Connor (Christian Bale) encounters a new kind of Terminator - one with a human soul.

Decent shoot'em/blow'em up that certainly isn't on par with the first two "T's" but was a definite improvement over "T3: Rise of the Machines."

"The Island" (2005)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIfVwTGAJBM

 

Sci-fi actioner from Michael Bay stars Ewan McGregor and Scarlett (yum!) Johanssen as pair of happy inhabitants in an idyllic secret facility... until they find out that they're clones, grown in a lab to serve as spare parts for people in the outside world. When they make an escape, mayhem ensues.

Overly long and overblown in an entertaining sort of way, this one starts out like an update of "Logan's Run" but then quickly becomes so over the top that it's ridiculous. But hey, that's Michael Bay all over.

"Starship Troopers" (1997)

 

Paul "RoboCop" Verhoeven's uber-violent adaptation of Robert Heinlein's classic sci-fi story is pure comic book fun, as Earth declares war on a race of alien bugs and three friends (Casper Van Dien, Neil Patrick Harris, and Denise Richards) join up with the quasi-fascistic Federation army to help combat the threat.

A bizarre combo of action flick and satire of rah-rah WWII-style propaganda films with its tongue planted firmly in its cheek for the entire run time.

"Attack the Block" (2011)

 

 

When hungry aliens invade a low-rent London housing complex, a teenage street gang steps up to save the world in a fast paced, funny-as-hell action-sci fi/comedy from the producers of "Shaun of the Dead." Worth a look if you dig B-movie monsters and Brit humor.

Scarlett is delicious in that one.

"Muppets From Space" (1999)

[media=]

[/media]

A soul-searching Gonzo the Great learns that he may be an extraterrestrial, leading him to contact his alien brethren ....which attracts attention from a government Man in Black (Jeffrey Tambor) who wants to capture and dissect him. Of course, Gonzo's Muppet pals have to come to the rescue.

Much more slap-sticky than the recent "Muppets" film w/Amy Adams and Jason Segal, which is fine by me. This was good old fashioned Muppet mayhem the way I remember it from when I was a young'un. Fun stuff for kids and grown ups.

Safe House - pretty decent I guess. Very familiar storyline, but pretty well done. These kind of movies with corruption all through agencies like the CIA do annoy me a bit and they're as common as teeth, but despite some pretty big gaps in this tale it was enjoyable.

Warrior Or Assassin - Low budget affair. Female assassin decides to quit her job. Her team mates do not take kindly to this.

Way too much pseudo-meaningful dialogue but does feature a guy in a rabbit suit cutting loose with a shotgun. Female lead is fit too.
