The movies you've seen recently thread - Fifstar - 2009-06-18 10:16:02
Seems like there are a lot of movie afinicados on this board, so just post what you've seen recently and recommend or what you don't think was worth watching.
Saw The Limits of Control a couple of days ago and really liked it, was the first movie I ever (knowingly) saw by Jim Jarmusch. Definetly recommend it, especially if you enjoy a beatifully shot film. The plot itself is pretty simple and almost disappears for large parts. Can't really say what was good about it apart from how the film was shot, the movie just put me in a certain mood.
Can anybody recommend by some other movies by Jim Jarmusch? And what did you people see lately?

some people love Coffee and Cigarettes but I found it terribly boring (and I quite enjoy both coffee and cigarettes)

Night on Earth and Mystery Train are great though.

ha!
I watched a bit of Melinda & Melinda again the other night, prolly one of Woodrow Allen's better contemporary films - a nice ensemble cast and quite witty in places

I watched a really good film from Norway called Elling:

saw visitor q at the weekend, easily the weirdest film i've ever seen, totally bonkers, good though
also saw office space for the first time this weekend and that was pretty good too, not amazing but it captures the office environment perfectly and has some great moments

Most recent new film I've seen was Tony Manero, which was good, check it when it comes out on DVD.

Looking For Eric: Really uplifting. I didn't know what it was, has a really glum opening and said 'Directed by Ken Loach' and I just thought 'shiiiiiit, I'm not really in the mood for this'. But it was really funny and moving, and I came out feeling happier. Loads of location spotting for Manc people as well.
Terminator: Salvation. Watchable but really hampered by being a 12A, and Christian Bale is quite bland. Poos on Terminator 3 though.

I watched Ping Pong last night after Dale was talking about it in the other film thread. I enjoyed it.

Star Trek-Thought it was excellent, visually amazing, exciting, and good for new fans.
The Hangover-Absolutely hilarious, cant reccomend it high enough
Mirrors-Dreadful horror with Kiefer Sutherland, avoid at all costs

Watched [Rec] last night. Scariest movie I've seen (nohyperbole) and brilliantly edited, didn't outstay it's welcome at all. Fabbo.
