I'm not entirely sure if this will work but I thought it would be a cool idea to have users post the last film they watched and give a quick rating/review. Nothing to in depth but a quick rating out of 10 and if you recommend it or not.
So for example:
I watched Gnomeo and Juliet. A comedy film about the story of Romeo and Juliet but set in a garden full of gnomes.
I give it 4/10, found the characters where dull and uninteresting and I would not recommend watching it.
What film did you last watch? It can be any film, old or new...
Last film I watched was Smoke Signals, in Film & Literature class. Pretty good comedy about two indian young adults going on an adventure from their reservation in Idaho to Arizona to get one of their(Victor's) dad's ashes. I really recommend it, it may look like some stupid family movie by the cover but it's pretty funny and interesting.
The last film I saw was Misery, a classic psychological thriller movie about a famous writer and his "number one fan." I like thrillers like this because its not just loud hacking and slashing with blood spilling, but an actual chilling story. 9/10, no doubt. It stars James Caan and Kathy Bates, the latter of which got a Golden Globe for her performance.
Last film I saw was Cheech & Chong: Up In Smoke.
It's a comedy about Anthony Stoner and Pedro de Pacas and their adventures in Mexico and Los Angeles.
I give it a 9/10 mostly cause it's one of my favorite movies, and I'm a sucker for Cheech and Chong.
I don't really suggest it if you're anti-weed or pot, since it has a lot of that in it.
I recently watched Toy Story 3 and it is the best movie out of the 3 Toy Story movies. There were twists and emotional parts in the film and the ending wraps up nicely that made me feel satisfied. 10/10
3 – Shadow, Shiny, The Tropius of TropiusesI was apparently almost a year late on watching Hot Tub Time Machine.
I had to laugh at the beginning where it shows the kid in the basement playing Second Life. Playing on the typical mouse potato stereotypes, Hollywood? ![]()
4/5.
1 – Shiny(Bump?)
I just watched Rango. I loved the movie! It had an interesting plot, good characters, and the ending was staisfying. I really liked Rattlesnake Jake!
9.5/10
1 – ShadowThe last film I watched was 'Repo! The Genetic Opera'. I give at 9.5 out of 10; my reasoning being that while it is an AWESOME movie with extremely good music and an very good storyline, there's just one scene and one error that bothers me greatly [watch the scene here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFWn_MBokLM ] it seemed to be completely uneeded. The error was the mom's death on her tombstone, which says 2011-2050, while the father is 40 at the time of the film, this says that the mom died at age 39, which means the father must be much older than indicated. Overall, this is a movie I'd recommended, but do not watch if you do not like sexual references/scenes and very gory scenes.
X-Men 3. I like to watch a lot of movies over the summer and over the course of the past 2 weeks or so, I saw every movie in the series except for X-men Origins: Wolverine. They're very fun to watch, but I wouldn't call them film at its best. Unfortunately, though, now that I'm done with this series, I need to find something else to watch on Netflix, and I'm terrible at thinking of movies to see XD
Last one I watched was Inception.
A bit confusing at first, but I love the whole concept of the dream (not spoiling it).
I'd probably say 10/10 because I enjoyed it. I'm not exactly the movie
connoisseur, so I can't give specifics about the techniques used or the actors or anything like that.
In the end, good movie.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix via Netflix
It was pretty decent, with some cool scenes, though I have yet to see a Harry Potter that delights me as much as the first two movies. Oddly enough, I had already seen The Half Blood Prince. As much as I hated her, that pink-and-kitten-obsessed lady was a totally awesome character for the movie since she provided for a nice subplot for the movie and introduced a more mundane level of conflict.
I watched 4 movies with my friends last night. Inception was probably my favorite of all of them and we watched it first... I dunno, I guess I just really like the fact that they had action combined with a very confusing concept that I somehow understood.
After that we watched Paranormal Activity 1 and then Paranormal Activity 2. Definitely creepy, but it's all paranoia, so it had some scary moments but I was fine after it. Honestly though, I might not have been able to sleep in peace if we hadn't watched Scott Pilgrim vs. The World after those two scary movies. That was a pretty awesome movie, pretty funny too, I enjoyed that as well.
I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 while I was on vacation. Being a massive Harry Potter fan, the movie was as promising as I expected it to be: packed with action and true to the book. However, if I'm being completely honest, I didn't think it was mind-blowing. Nevertheless, I thought it wrapped up a decade of wonderful memories in the exact way fans were hoping, and I'm really going to miss the series.

1 – 7dewott8Rented an old film called the Flower Drum Song. It was alright and I did enjoy it even though it was corny and I am not a fan of musicals. 7/10
Still beats Justin Bieber: Never Say Never which my sisters rented it and I watched parts of it and could not stand watching it more than a few minutes. Plus I can still the screaming girls in my head from the movie. So annoying. There is no point of rating this movie.
Last week I watched the cult classic Eraserhead. The film is pretty indescribable, but is pretty surreal and at time unnerving. Definitely worth watching, since it has its place in film history. Just make sure you watch it at night, and not while doing anything else. The effect of the film kind of disappears when you do that!
I finally watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2. It is, of course, a fantastic movie, but I expected more from The Battle of Hogwarts, since it was quite thrilling in the book.

I watched "Captain America: First Avenger" today, and I must say that it was quite awesome. Packed with action and based on an interesting plot, it's definitely a must-watch for summer. However, the movie seems to suffer from unbelievable effects/stunts which look ridiculously silly as well as an ending which is disappointing and a little random. If it wasn't for these two things, this movie would've become one of my all-time favourites. Score: 8/10
I watched yet another movie yesterday; Grown Ups. Although there were some funny scenes here and there, the movie lacked a real plot, which made it look shallow, giving it a score of 4/10.

I'm gonna base off the last movie in theathers I saw, Rise of the Planet of the Apes was my last movie at theathers and it was better then I thought. Too bad the trailer shows the last 30 minutes of the film just like with Capt. America.
8/10 |
Watched 'Howl's Moving Castle' again last night for like the twentieth time. It gets me every time. 10/10
1 – 7dewott8I just watched Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 again for the second time earlier this weekend. I've not read the books yet as I am quirky and prefer to watch the movies before I read. This was honestly probably my favorite Harry Potter movie out of all of them since they just did such an amazing job honestly I think, a perfect ending for a legendary and unforgettable story.
I watched Harry potter Deathly Hallows and it totally missed the book. (Bad stuff)
Harry: "Let's finish this the way we started it, Tom." *grabs Voldemort's face*
Alternate ending to that scene:
Voldemort: KISS ME, YOU FOOL.
My most recent film I watched was the new Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It confused the heck out of me, and there were several other things which I probably shouldn't mention here that really made this a bad film. (Old one, though 8 hours long, was WAY better)
My 2nd most recent film was Tron. DAFT PUNK! WOOHO- Okay, there they are! *Looks at Daft Punk* Okay, we can stop watching the movie now. The movie had a horrible plot, it was one epic chase sequence after the next, and the characters were very hollow and void of content. But we got to see Daft Punk, which was about the only cool thing in the movie besides the special effects.
I recently watched the Katy Perry movie, but you guys don't want to hear about that, so like Spirit I also saw the Amazing Spiderman, and Andrew Garfield did an AMAZING job, as did Emma Stone. The story was so much better this time around than the other three, but one thing I didn't like was
how instead of Spiderman having those natural web-slinging powers, he built the little widget for his wrists that shot webs.
1 – TurtwigXI don't know if this counts, but I watched an episode of Cowboy Bebop. I do intend to watch the movie, though. I can easily see why it's critically acclaimed.
2 – TurtwigX, Blood SwampertI just saw The Dark Knight Rises. Wow. That was way way WAY better than expected. I thought nothing would ever top the Joker's pure insane evil. They didn't but MAN that was good. 10/10 would recommend.
I also so Tangled on TV last night. That mother is eeeevvviiiillll. And her death was pretty surprising, too.
I just watched Die Hard. I love it as an action film and a Christmas movie, because nothing says "Happy Holidays" like watching one of the most hardcore action movies of all time.
Highly recommended to anyone, seeing as it has a well-earned spot on IMDB's Top 250.

tbh, I've always been a sucker for stoner comedies like this.
