The Last Film You Saw..... IV

**J Boyle** · 21st February 2011, 16:39

Last of the Mohicans...the directors cut in Blu-Ray.
Yes, the couple is far too pretty for fighting Indians in the woods, it's beautifuly photographed with a haunting score.

A lot of fun.

**BSG-75** · 21st February 2011, 17:15

Star Trek (the recent "new" version) followed via a diversion to the kitchen for a fried egg sandwhich, by "the A-team"... which rocks.....

Then, while not a film I admit, the latest episode of "Boardwalk Empire" which is a very decent bit of TV.

**DazDaMan** · 21st February 2011, 17:36

Gremlins

Madcap monster mayhem from Joe Dante. Still great fun - and now over 25 years old!

Valkyrie

Bryan Singer's fairly accurate take on the July 20th Plot to assassinate Hitler. Great performances all round, and quite a bit of warbird porn (Buchons and Ju-52s mostly, along with a strafing sequence by P-40s near the start).

**Lincoln 7** · 21st February 2011, 17:41

Transporter 3 with Jason Statham. Loads of action,and I think they will have a job to top it with a 4th one.
I.M.H.O. I think he would make a brilliant James Bond.

Clash of the Titans (2010)

Role Models

The A-Team

Drive Angry 3D

Nicolas Cage plays an avenging spirit who's escaped Hell in order to exact revenge on the cult who murdered his daughter and stole her baby. Silly, but fun. And William Fichtner is pretty awesome, too.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Man, it has been YEARS since I last saw this film! I think it's one of those where it was better "back in the day", but it's still a cracking watch, especially when you consider that all the cartoon animation was done BY HAND! Nowadays, they'd do it all with a PC...!

Unknown.
A classy Liam Neeson film, following on from "Taken". I quite like him as the action man.
To tell you any of the story would ruin it.
The hook line is "Man wakes up from a coma to find his identity stolen".

Armageddon

A Bruce Willis/Michael Bay double cheeseburger, served up with Aerosmith fries. Great, unplug-your-brain popcorn fun.

**PeeDee** · 3rd March 2011, 01:32

Is it dark and closed 24/7 in Penicuik?
Man, you watch a lot of films!

**DazDaMan** · 3rd March 2011, 05:46

I don't watch an awful lot of actual TV! I usually just have films on in the background while I'm doing something else, too.

**AirRacer** · 3rd March 2011, 08:45

It was Despicable Me!! Very Funny!!!
I Only Baught It For My Daughters... Honest!!!

**Sky High** · 3rd March 2011, 09:15

Daz - for a film lover, as I am, that is a terrible admission!

The thought of having a film on as wallpaper is unthinkable. I don't watch often, but when I do I have to get completely absorbed, or else I just switch off. That's why I watch as few as possible on commercial channels because the ad breaks drive me crazy.

**DazDaMan** · 3rd March 2011, 17:10

I've generally seen all my DVDs at least twice by now, so having them on in the background makes no odds to me.

However, by all means if I've not seen it in a long time, or am seeing it for the first time, then naturally I'm hooked.

Also, if it's Jaws....

**Sky High** · 3rd March 2011, 18:33

Music??

**DazDaMan** · 3rd March 2011, 21:00

Have to really be in the mood these days to listen to music. Dunno why!

**PeeDee** · 6th March 2011, 00:47

The next 3 days.
A very very good film. 2 hours 6 minutes well worth investing IMO.
A powerful love story with a few parallel themes going on. The internet will tell you the storylines, but I suggest you watch it without knowing.

**Sky High** · 6th March 2011, 06:59

M.Hulot's Holiday for the umpteenth time. Tati was a genius.

Unknown is his new film

Taken was where his daughter was kidnapped by Albanian Sex traffickers.

Bad Lieutenant (2010)

Nicholas Cage stars as the titular drugged up character on the case of a multiple homicide in New Orleans. I found it about average, but my mate loved it. Meh.

Vampires Suck

Surprisingly not-too-bad spoof of the Twilight franchise.

Surrogates (2009)

Good old Bruce Willis goes robot ass-kicking in the future to discover the truth behind a conspiracy in a world where mankind has taken to using lifelike "surrogates" in its day lifestyle. Not bad, I thought.

**DazDaMan** · 7th March 2011, 22:16

Ghost Ship

WTF?!

**DazDaMan** · 9th March 2011, 06:13

Fright Night

1980s horror classic about a teenager who thinks a vampire lives next door to him.

Sadly, it's another one being remade, however I have high-ish hopes for this one.

**DazDaMan** · 10th March 2011, 22:32

Wild Hogs

Predictable but mildly amusing.

**DazDaMan** · 12th March 2011, 11:32

Flight of the Phoenix

The original, and vastly superior, version with James Stewart, Richard Attenborough, Hardy Kruger et al.

Gripping viewing from start to finish. Tragic to think that a legendary pilot was killed doing what was probably a routine manoeuvre for him!

Casino Royale

Daniel Craig's awesome first entry as James Bond. My absolute favourite of the lot.

**thr62** · 12th March 2011, 19:56

If youre talking about last film seen at the cinema?
Dr Doolittle back in 1999

**DazDaMan** · 13th March 2011, 07:41

Quantum of Solace

Third time I've watched it and I think I'm finally warming to it.

Daz. Are you stating a "REAL" pilot got killed in the making of the film?. I watched it the other night also, fractionaly better,than the first, but only just.Hope your enjoying all the snow, you lucky S**

Cheers.

**DazDaMan** · 13th March 2011, 10:09

If you mean the 1965 original "Phoenix", then yeah.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mantz

During the making of the new version, though, a cameraman was quite badly injured when one of the model aircraft (weighing something like 800 pounds!!) hit him while filming one of the crash scenes.

**Lincoln 7** · 13th March 2011, 10:33

Hi Daz, just read Wiki re Paul Mantz, what a man, I particularly liked his "Signature".

Lincoln .7

**DazDaMan** · 15th March 2011, 18:51

Speed

Keanu Reeves was rarely cooler than in this high-octane actioner, along with Sandra Bullock and the late Dennis Hopper at his maniacal best.

Monster Squad

Silly but no-less fun 1980s flick about a group of kids facing off against classic 1940s B-movie monsters.
