What was the last movie(s) you saw?

(and what did you think of it).

I just watched 'Drag Me to Hell'. I really enjoyed it. I'm not generally a huge fan of horror, but I like how Sam Raimi seems to recognise the inherent ridiculousness of the genre, and then go for broke. It was definitely scary in parts, but also hilarious. Several very indelible images. I would really recommend it to anyone who has an interest in films both scary and funny. 4/5

Freedom Writers. It was not bad. I guess. >_>

Saw Death note (first one), a movie based on a manga with the same name. I loved the manga so thought I'd check out the movie. It was decent but it seemed very rushed, you can tell they've just tried to squeeze everything from the manga into a 90 minute movie. The actors who played the lead roles were pretty terrible, it doesn't fit how the characters are "supposed" to be at all. The story however, is decently presented.
I didn't have very high expectations in the first place though.

I think it's a pretty decent movie for those who haven't seen the manga. The people who actually has seen the manga however, might not be quite as satisfied.

Paranormal activity; a movie revolving around a happy couple that carry the burden of demonic entities, those of which have been haunting 'katie' (Micah's girlfriend). The couple move into a two-story tract house, which attracts the spiritual entity as well. As the story continues the threat of the demon progresses and becomes more heinous as the ending approaches, beginning from the smallest fusses; such as thudding, nightmares and whispering, actions that indicate the demons presence. Micah's comical persona relieves the reality of the situation albeit he intends to capture any paranormal activity with his camera gear, and the evidence strongly indicates some demonic force. The two hire an elder man with expertise in parapsychology, and he claims he can no longer serve them since a demonologist is required to assist the situation. Furthermore, the primal instincts of man become prevalent as Micah becomes more aware of his foolishness, and in the last section of the film, fights for his beloved.

Rating; 4/5

--Not satisfied with the ending, although I lost myself in the characters themselves in order to feel the suspenseful action; which compensates for the lack of effort in the film.

--Recommended for horror fans, those who aren't the slash and gash types..

The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. OK, I'll admit that this was the reason I saw this movie. Go ahead. Make fun of me.

It actually wasn't a porn, despite what that site was implying, and those shots were about as provocative as the movie ever got.

With an All-Star cast (not just Blake Lively but Robin Wright, Maria Bello, Julianne Moore, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, and Monica Bellucci, to name a few), I was surprised that this movie was only being shown in a small number of theatres (including just one in all of Manhattan!), but then again, I wasn't sure what kind of person I would bring to see this movie with me, so I went alone.

Basically Blake Lively is Pippa in the "flashback" scenes while Robin Wright is the present-day Pippa. The young Pippa is one who runs away from home, ends up shooting BDSM photos with the roommate of her lesbian aunt, then turns to a life of drugs before finding an older man and settling down. Eventually they move to a retirement community where Pippa is one of the youngest residents, and, bored out of her mind, Pippa reflects on her past and tries to find herself.

I will say that the flashback scenes were much more interesting than the present-day scenes, and not just because of Blake and her BDSM escapades. The present-day plot seemed a bit lackluster IMHO, and Winona Ryder's character and Keanu Reeves' acting weren't very impressive. But overall, I'd say this is better than your standard "chick flick" fare. 3.5/5

I tried to watch Rachel Getting Married while I was off work the other day... In my opinion they tried to put way too much into one movie. I am missing a chunk of the movie because I fell asleep from boredom... but apparently this girl that was in rehab's sister is getting married. So she gets out of rehab to go to it... And essentially ends up trying to make the wedding completely about her. The problem I had with the movie was they tried to drag in some added culture by having her marry outside of her race, and take on his culture for the wedding... And then toss in a few other ethnic groups as their friends... And it ended up being a giant mess of far two to three different cultural styles into one movie. I'm pretty sure the focus was supposed to be on the addicts relationship with her family, but with all the extra stuff going on, it was hard to focus on just that... 3/5...

watched idiocracy, and not all together that funny, I liked some parts, but not enough to really recommend it to anyone.

I saw idiocracy a while back. I love the concept but thought it could be done a lot better. Not a bad movie overall though, imo.

Well, it just started, but I'm 1/2way watching Squanto: A Warrior's Tale. It's okay. I might try and pay a little bit more attention to it. I think monks come into play a little later in the movie. I like monks.

(500) Days Of Summer. It felt like I've seen that film before... oh yeah, that's right. It was called My Reality circa 2006. Jeez.
