There was a Jaws marathon on Cable, so I watched:

- Jaws
- Jaws 2
- Jaws 3 D

I really should have skipped 2 and 3...

The Mechanic (original version with Charles Bronson). Good movie but the music did not work for me.

Re: What's the last movie you watched?
 
None of the 70s music ever did match very well.

last night I had a re-watch of something I saw in the theater over Christmas, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL.
Not sure how people generally feel about these Tom Cruise Productions, you either love him or hate him. This to me was the
film that made the series stand out. Of course I didn't see the second one, because I was not too fond of the first one.
There were times in Ghost Protocol that I thought I was watching a Bond film, the music and camera shots were SO STOLEN.
But even though it gets away a bit in the latter 3rd, I like this movie.

Breaker Morant.

Watch if every other year or so.

Brad, I just finished watching Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol!

I, too watched it in the theater. But I think number 3 remains my favorite.

You should check out the Swedish version - it was cool to see the differences in the 2 movies.

Hmmm I think I saw that on Netflix but thought it would have subtitles so I passed. If it is in English I will watch it!

I get what you're saying, but don't say NONE, Brad. Star Wars, The Godfather, The Godfather II, American Graffiti, 2001, Shaft, and many others come to mind.:tu

I agree with you that typical 70s p*rn music didn't fit in with a lot of action flicks though.

My wife didn't get it either. I think it had to do with her hearing the media reports non-stop. Even though she kept calling him a loser, it was still a positive song. I'll have to rewatch to go back and check that. The whole father/daughter part was the least favorite aspect of the film for me.

I think the Swedish versions were very good and worth watching. If you have read the books recently then the subtitles won't be much of an issue.

Actually, yes! The three actors were very good, esp. in their voice qualities. In fact, a very "family" movie.

The three stooges? I just saw it too I was expecting a lot worse than what I got. Good family flick, especially for a die hard stooge like myself

Re: What's the last movie you watched?
 
Watched a weird one last night. All Japanese and Taiwan Aboriginal language, no subtitles.
It was pretty awesome for the first 45 minutes, and then the character development began
and people started talking about their feelings. Had to FF through it to get to something
I could get through context....Warriors of the Rainbow. (The Japanese subjugation of
Taiwan and the bloody aboriginal reaction to their tactics). If you read the Wiki entry for
"Wushe Incident" you have the plot in a nutshell. So I undertook the view. Like I said,
until people started having emotional conflict and deep convo, I was pretty impressed
with myself.

OLS 04-23-2012 12:59 PM

Re: What's the last movie you watched?
 
I am not going to dislike Haywire. I am going to consider it a Cynthia Rothrock-type movie and enjoy it for what it is.

Maybe, I don't know, hell.

Oh she looked good, the movie ...not so much. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good....it was so-so.

It seems when they get a "non actor/actress" they refuse to give them any decent dialogue with IMHO ruins the movie.

Watching The Grey now.

21 -- Much potential, but mostly a bust.

OLS 04-26-2012 07:49 AM

Re: What's the last movie you watched?
 
Lockout....Guy Pearce and Maggie Grace. BOTH actors improved their stock in this one.
If you watched LOST, you know Maggie Grace as the hot, spoiled blonde who get's it in
the stomach with a knife I think. Not sure if her brother fell and died first or after her.
She was 2 dimensional in LOST, here, she stills shows some lack of skill, but she carries
her part well enough.

Guy Pearce, who almost everyone loved in Memento, proves he may well be the next
John McClain-prototype...plenty of wise cracks that while they were not that well-written,
were certainly well-delivered. He really makes this movie special. Other than that it could
be Saturday night fare on SciFi Channel. One particularly annoying feature was the constant
location referencing...."White House...Washington, D.C." then over to "M-1 Maximum Security
Space Prison". I swear, EVERYTIME they went back to that location, which was half the film
or better, they CGed the location, it was hilarious. I fully expected "Broom Closet, M1 Maximum
Security Space Prison."
