Review the last movie you saw

Whether its at the theater or on DVD, give us a review of the last movie that you saw.

Well this afternoon I actually had one of the rare occurrences where I had a couple of hours to myself ( people with kids know how rare this is :biggrin: ). So I went to see The Watchmen. I read the graphic novel about 6 months ago and I thought it was decent but didn't live up to the incredible amount of hype that the back had. The book I felt was a C+.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the movie. Normally the book is better than the movie, but in my humble opinion it was completely reversed in this case. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters especially Rorshach and Dr. Manhattan, the special effects were strong and I felt the story much more in the movie than the book. I'll give the movie a solid B+, I would give it an A- but it was painful having to sit through about 80 shots of Dr. Manhattan's junk.

Which is why I never watch superhero movies.

I actually don't go to the movies much (atypical for a teen, I know), but I watched a James Bond (For Your Eyes Only, 1981) this morning. I am a Bond fan (not Daniel Craig, though), and had seen parts of this, but never the whole thing, so I sat through it. I enjoyed the acting of most characters, the best being Q as usual. Melina Havelock, played by Carole Bouquet, is rather enjoyable as a Bond girl, but the other "flirt", Bibi Dahl, played by Lynn-Holly Johnson, is annoying. As always with Bond, special effects are stunning for the time period, supporting cast is good, camera/filming is good, overall I enjoyed it. A-.

^ oh, but Watchmen is so much more than superhero fiction, so much MORE. (I can't vouch for the movie, because I haven't seen it yet, but the comics themselves, man, oh man)

The Watchmen comics were sick, the movie was okay. The characters were much more...defective, if you will, in the comic.

I saw Beverly Hills Chihuahua at home with my daughter (hey, this is part of my life now). I gave it a B-. It wasn't that bad except for the corny part about the chihuahua super-secret society in Mexico or something. I would have given it a B otherwise.

My wife and I rented Rachel Getting Married to see what the hullaballoo was all about. Yeah, it was basically like watching a crappy home movie about a boring family obsessed with Indian culture.

Put it this way: there was this LONG scene featuring a race for who can load the dishwasher the fastest....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Dude, that sounds painful. Was it a pure chick-flick? No explosions, No gunshots, no car chases and no cleavage?

Last night I watched Will Ferrall's " Your Welcome America" a last night with George Bush. It was great, Funny, True, and Ferrall even talks about Ft. Bragg and riding down I-95 in North Carolina. Watch out for Monkey's with Spear guns!!! It was on HBO so i don't know if thats counts.

It wasn't even a chick flick...you watch it and you're like "What the heck is going on?"

No action except for one scene where Anne Hathaway's mom slaps her then she turns right back and slaps her old-school Pimp style
