What Is The Last Film You Watched? (Older Films)

[alicebrallice 134]

oh that doesn't surprise me at all.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

Why?

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

what the hell! nemo has always been like, the pixar film for me. one of my all time favorite films too! what do you think of the score? agreed on up though.

I never cared much for monsters inc or the incredibles.

I love nearly all of them. Most of them more than the Toy Story films, in fact - which are all great regardless. I find Cars much underrated. I've yet to see Cars 2 and Brave (have the Blu-ray ready for the latter), but from the rest, the only one that never really clicked with me was A Bug's Life (and that was still good, of course). Monsters Inc. and Incredibles are awesome in different ways, and my favourite may actually be Ratatouille.

HTTYD has got to be one of the most overrated animated films in a LONG time (but a fantastic score).

really? I enjoyed it quite a lot. and the score, oooooh the score.

I still have to see it. I love the score (well, bits and pieces of it, as a whole I've always found it a bit much).

Weren't Shrek and Ice Age Dreamworks, too?

[Jay 46,244]

Shrek is Dreamworks; The Ice Age films are Blue Sky Studios (who also did Robots, Horton, Rio and Epic)

[Wojo 2,458]

What is HTTYD? C'mon, call me stupid. This isn't Berk. Come on!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

I just always connected to the SKG films more. There's no denying Pixar's quality when it comes to the actual animation, but nearly all of their early films do nothing for me. I love Ratatouille and The Incredibles, but I credit that to Brad Bird being a superb filmmaker. WALL-E and Finding Nemo are good but I wouldn't call them amazing.

Give me Antz, Over The Hedge, The Road To El Dorado, Chicken Run, Kung Fu Panda, How To Train Your Dragon, and Puss In Boots.

Can`t make much sense out of this I`m afraid, but to each their own.

I like Antz and Kung Fu Panda. HTTYD has got to be one of the most overrated animated films in a LONG time (but a fantastic score).

I enjoyed How to train your Dragon, HTTYD, very much but that score is not fantastic. It's annoying.

[KK 3,313]

The film is very average. I just never really connected to it. And I could never understand the overwhelming praise it received. Maybe it's just me.

The score on the other hand is incredibly entertaining. I was hooked from the start.

toy story 3 was mindblowingly awesome! and the first one truly is a classic:)

and my favourite may actually be Ratatouille.

good taste I'm guessing you love the score as well?

[Rachael Foley 10,162]

I have heard the HTTYD score is mixed terribly on album, while the recent leak, is much better.

[KK 3,313]

I love the Ratatouille score. I'd take that over Giacchino's big blockbuster scores.

[Jay 46,244]

Which score are you referring to?

The How To Drain Your Dragon score (you probably missed my edit to my post)

[Jay 46,244]

Ah yea, your post didn't say that when I clicked quote

[BloodBoal 8,711]

HTTYD is a fine score, but for the most part there is too much bombast. After a few tracks, it can get a bit tiring.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

BB that's my thoughts exactly. I was interested because so many here liked it but ....

[KK 3,313]

It can get exhausting. But lots of great music regardless.

Certainly. My favourite Giacchino score for a Pixar feature. And a rare "fluffier" score from his dry Lost years.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

How To Train Your Dragon is probably my favorite animation film/score.

I've seen that one in theaters. Now how many here can say the same, huh?!

[Jay 46,244]

I was 2

I did (1990, though).

Owned.

[publicist 4,650]

Since when?

[Brónach 1,330]

It's an expression.

[publicist 4,650]

"Owned is a slang word^[1][2] that originated among 1990s hackers, where it referred to "rooting" or gaining administrative control over someone else's computer.^[3][4]"

^{You can hack mine, i have the whole album!}

[Ren 77]

Well other than Elmo I don't get to see many movies. The last one I got to was the notebook an other than the few parts that were predictable and cliche, I sobbed and sobbed afterwards. Lol

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King

Still brilliant!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

we watched two movies yesterday.

1. Real Genius, one of the best films of it's type, definately the best of the 3 science films from Aug. 1985. It's always a good time.

2. Oblivion, a beautiful looking film that reminds of Prometheus. Don't think about it and the movie is fine.

Real Genius was the better of the two.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

2. Oblivion, a beautiful looking film that reminds of Prometheus. Don't think about it and the movie is fine.

I wanted to, but Prometheus is so glib that it made my angry for two days

[Quintus 6,496]

Oblivion looks quite dull to my eye. And very artificial.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

Ah, so very much like Prometheus?

I wasn't even angry.

[A24 5,156]

The director (Kosonski) says you need to think about it and that you have to pay attention, especially during the first 5 minutes of the movie.

However, I hear the movie constantly borrows/steals ideas of other sci-fi movies but the thing that worries me the most is that Oblivion is allegedly missing 'atmosphere'. Anyhow, it's a rental for me.

As I've said on the previous page, the film has nothing to offer. It's very much like Avatar (even though it's slightly better than Avatar): a bunch of ideas stolen here and there, then given a "modern look", and they try to make you think it's something original and new.

idiotic totally idiotic,

but its not surprising

[Incanus 5,890]

Arbitrage: Meh, quite average low key thriller. They sure made it easy not to identify with the main character.

Kosinski: “This is a movie where you really have to pay attention. This isn’t the movie where you can go to the restroom halfway in and come back and be fine because you’re going to miss something. There’s so much information and so many plot points happening all the time that it really requires you to stay engaged.”

Kosinski is quite wrong. it might however allow you to overlook one of the many plot holes.

if there ever was a movie that would feed the ego of one particular actor, this is that movie, Oblivion is the most egocentric Tom Cruise movie of all time.

where else can the hero of the movie also be the antagonist, the destroyer and savior of earth, and have uncountless versions of himself

it's been said that Katie Holmes ran from the theatre screaming and has been admitted into a padded cell at Bellevue.

[A24 5,156]

We'll see. I'll rent it for sure but I doubt I'll like it. Why? Easy, I wasn't too big on Kosinski's Tron Legacy either. Yes, I prefer the original, as quirky as it is.

I didn't care for the Tron sequel either, but this is a better film in many ways. Like you I prefer the original Tron.

[A24 5,156]

With the first Tron, you get the feeling that you are sucked into an odd computer universe, a world that has its own rules and laws. That's where Kosinski fails big time. It was just cool images. The bikes went and go where they like, just like in the real world.

you must admit in 1982 we had not yet seen it all either.

[Quintus 6,496]

I enjoyed both Trons quite equally, that is to say I could take or leave them. Entertaining action thrillers whose inverted worlds grant them more leeway than they might have gotten had they been set anywhere else.

[A24 5,156]

/Film: There’s The Matrix, 2001… there are things that I don’t want to spoil from other movies. Now when you were making the movie, were those connections in your head or were they sort of subconscious?

Joseph Kosinski: "I think they were subconscious. I mean I wrote the story about eight years ago, so I was thinking about the seventies films I grew up with, everything from 2001, Planet of the Apes, Omega Man, Silent Running, Blade Runner, Star Wars. Those were the films that I remember seeing as a kid and the illustrations of guys like Chris Foss and Peter Elson, I don’t know if you are familiar with their illustrations, but I had books of theirs. These kind of beautiful colored maker watercolor images from the seventies that are just wild. I mean you see the images now and… Sci-Fi was in a whole other world in the seventies, pre-Star Wars, pre-Alien, and it kind of changed then and went into the darkness of deep space."

Watched Iron Man 3.

It took me by surprise - this film is pretty entertaining. In fact in some ways it might be the best of the lot. Certainly the funniest and wittiest. For once it feels like its a whole movie, rather than a setup for some other stuff (like it happened with all the other films preceding Avengers). The post-credit scene was hilarious.

"Tony Stark will return" ends the credits.

Oh there's Dies Irae used a a theme in the score.

Karol

[Jay 46,244]

Cool!

[Brónach 1,330]

I'm replaying Iron Man 3 in my head and I'm confused by a lot of stuff in the plot.

On the other hand the film is absolutely hilarious.
