Review the last movie you saw

[ziggy]

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 ). 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?
