What was the last film you watched?
Right, following on from Myranda's thread and blatantly nicked from another forum I think we should have a film thread. Basic idea is that you post a quick review of the film (or films) in question (no spoilers please!!) and give it a rating out of ten.
Last film I watched was:
Knocked Up 7/10
Was expecting it to be total shit so I was pleasantly surprised to find tears of laughter rolling down my face at several points. It gets a bit too "chick flick-y" in the middle but the rest of it makes up for it.
Paris, Texas 10/10
Man wanders back into civilisation after spending indeterminate time gadding about in the desert. Better than it sounds, and a Ry Cooder soundtrack to boot. Superb.
most 10/10s are just users trying to skew the average - please disregard hungrymarks post until he has proven that he can behave
little big soldier
jackie chan in boring movie with subtitles and fighting
5/10
Black Swan 6.5/10
Beverly Hills Cop 3, t'was on sky1 last Saturday night. Should really be 4/10 for the film but my love for BHC1 & 2 is enough that it gets a 6/10 by proxy
Harry feckking Potter.
before that the original 1951 The Day the Earth Stood Still. Just a much better movie than you think its is going to be.
Breeding mammals with insects is my personal bugbear.
The Fighter 8/10
Very good film, Mark Wahlberg surpisingly good. Christian Bale deserving of an Oscar, even more so when, at the end, you see the real person he was portraying.

Paris, Texas 1/10
Hugely influential, bands Texas and Travis named from it, but rather dull to watch. You can have too much "wooo-ooom! wooo-OOOM!" from ole Ry as well.
Departures
A Japanese cellist returns to his rural home-town with his City wife, as his music career is failing. He accidentally becomes an Undertaker's assistant, preparing bodies for burial.
Funny, moving, a fascinating insight into Japanese culture. Spoken in Japanese, with subtitles. I were filling up, honest...
8/10
(It'd get more if there were explosions with men in vests running away...)
