What is the last movie you saw in the theatre? |
|
I saw "The New World" the other day. WOW!!! What a great film. I highly recommend it. It opens nationwide on Jan 20th.
Before that I saw "Syriana" I also highly recommend that.

Loved the movie, and can't wait until it comes out on DVD, so I can get a copy.

Great movie. It gave me an even greater appreciation of the man and his music.

4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, last week |

I'm surprised I was able to find a theater where it was still playing.

10. It was okay - it wasn't as bad as the critics said. |
|
It wasn't as good as its potential. If you haven't seen it but are interested, I'd say it's worth a rental or PPV.

55. Just watched Brothers Grimm... |

Terry Gilliam must've been on mushrooms when he made that.
Very odd...and interesting and just plain weird.

20. Yeah. It is sad, isn't it? |
|
Now...if/when I make the move...maybe I'll go out more. Maybe. :D
I just don't like doing stuff alone, and I would have to see movies myself for the most part. x(

15. I live in Los Angeles - the theatres here are worth the price |
|
most of them are big, very comfortable and most importantly, the sound and audio systems are state of the art. And we get the best prints of the films, too. I feel spoiled.
And I try to go to a film after it has been out for a while so there aren't too many morans. Matinees are good for that, too.

I don't get to see movies at the theater unless they are strictly family-fare.

Capote, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Producers...and a few days later, Walk the Line.
I recommend all of them. :)

21. Actually, the marathon occurred |
|
in Omaha, Nebraska. Cuz frankly, there's nothing else to do. We were pissed that we kept seeing ads for "Casanova" that said it would be released at Christmas, but it wasn't anywhere to be found. I got back to LA and it's everywhere, lol.
However, I have taken advantage of a few limited-release movies here in LA. Most recently, The Chumscrubber. Stupid name, great movie. Ralph Fiennes. Glenn Close. Allison Janney. Fabulous.

The New World is only playing at two theatres in Los Angeles.
We went to the Arclight - $14 but seats were reserved and oh man...it sounded and looked amazing.

27. Basically it's about John Smith and Pocohontas |
|
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0402399/directed by Terence Malick - who puts out a film about once every 10 years. Colin Farrell and Christian Bale are in it. yummy!

19. The Producers (the 2005 version) |
|
The stage version was infinately better, but it was still fun to see how it translated to the big screen! Will Ferrell was freaking hilarious as Franz Liebkind.

The 1968 original, Oscar Winning, Film is still head and shoulders above the later incarnations, but Jon Lovitz, Uma Thurman and Will Ferrell were pretty funny......

34. "Brokeback Mountain" The Night Of 1/1/2006 |

I thought it was excellent, and I expected it to be so---anything formulated by the likes of Ang Lee, Annie Proulx and Larry McMurtry is going to be worth watching.....

Only movie this year that was BETTER than I expected. Ledger and Gyllenhall are revelations (I was not particularly a fan of either going in) - I would like Oscar nods for both, though it looks like Ledger's getting all the attention. As someone who remembers the Texas culture in the late 70s/early 80s, I can say those aspects of this film were dead on and made it so, so real to me. Heartwrenching. Not a gay movie. An epic romance movie. Writ small.

On Halloween. It was excellent.
I rarely go to movies in a theatre. Last one I went to was Fahrenheit 911, which I now own on video. Good Night and Good Luck I will buy on DVD...now that I have one as a Christmas gift.
