What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Haven't been to the cinema for ages.

Thinking back, the last film i saw there was "Invictus" about the South African Rugby World Cup where SA wins, tied in with Nelson Mandela's story. Really interesting film which got you involved in the times and events. Wonderful performances by Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman.

Generally watch films on SKY though, occasionally, i wonder why we keep paying for it as there's nothing new. Last interesting film here was "The Fighter" -not usually my thing - about boxing and White Trash America, but it was based on a true story, without sentimentalism, and rang true. Great Christian Bale (oscar) and Mark Wahlberg (over-shadowed even though he was the "Star".

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

The last cinema I ever went in was the Princess Cinema in Edgar St, when it burnt down.
Can't see the point in going to a cinema to watch the latest film, just be patient & it will be on the box, then record it, & watch it at leisure.

Retlaw.

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

The King's Speech at one of those multiplexes.

I was surprised how expensive it was, and the drinks and popcorn on sale were a rip off.

Enjoyed the film, though.

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

It's over 35 years since I last went to the cinema and that was at the Empire in Blackburn, which is now the Thwaites Empire Theatre.

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

I went to the premier of this, starring Fish, ten years ago. As I'd done some of the costumes for it.

It was dreadful.

I really have no interest in most Hollywood films.

I'd much rather watch my art house/indie films in the comfort of my own home, courtesy of LOVEFiLM.com

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

I lost interest in going to the cinema years ago. I got fed up of the talkers, noisy popcorn eaters, mobile phone users, and being sat in front of someone who has put their knees in the back of my seat.

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

My last trip to the 'pictures' was to the old Odeon on Broadway, when it had been converted to house three screens.

The picture was Monty Python's Meaning of Life.
I had to leave during the restaurant vomiting scene.
I reckon nowt to paying to retch!

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Last time I went to the cinema was in the late 70's (maybe early 80's) and saw the film "Soldier Blue" at Hull.

It was nearly as complicated as the book and tv series. But very very good

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

The last film I saw at the cinema was probably The Wild Geese, with Richard Burton and Roger Moore in the mid 70s

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

"Hamburger Hill" 1987 :eek: Not been the fliks since. I'd sooner wait & get the DVD, plus I can watch it in the comfort of my own home without being ripped off for drinks & nibbles or have to put up with other people being annoying or ruining the film.

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Looks like most Accywebbers are not cinema-goers like me. I find the surround sound very off-putting and too noisy.

Went to the cinema in Hebden Bridge 2 years ago with my Aunt and Uncle. They show more alternative films, off the big Hollywood circuit, and some foreign language films with subtitles (we saw a really good french commedy). It's a small old-fashioned cinema and they have something called "Elevenses" where the film starts at 11am and you get a mug of tea or coffee to take in with you and biscuits -very civilised and a really enjoyable experience.
They came round with ice-creams at half time too!

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Film does sound pretty dire - laugh a minute stuff.:rolleyes:

Wondered how the Lovefilm thing worked - do you get a discount for doing your reviews?

Do they only do it for the UK? Bet they do...would be ideal for me otherwise. SKY is always showing repeats these days.:(

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Not just Sky, the normal channels are pumping out the same repetitive dross, so I don't really bother with the idiot box. :(

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

My other half goes the the flicks every week without fail, I just wait for um to come on Sky:D

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

the last film I saw at the pictures was ET........my brother had come over from South Africa where he was working on a contract, and he took us out to the pictures.

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Did he phone home while he was here Margaret:D

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

who do you mean John.... ET or our Pete?

If you mean our Pete...yes, he did it would have been more than his life was worth not to!

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

My better half with the memory after deep thought's says it was either Grease or The Confessions of a Window Cleaner,but so long ago early 1980.

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Both:D

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

ET did too...in the film.

I'm not a big film fan........I am to 'antsy'(I wonder if I have ADHD)....I need to be doing, not sitting.

There are not many films that capture my imagination and attention, and certainly few that would warrant paying to go and see them.

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Went to see a film on Sunday evening , not such a good choice available and we chose Woody Allen's latest film "Rome, I love you". I have enjoyed the last 3 of his films -probably because he wasn't actually in them (can't stand him as an actor) and they were different to all his others offerings.

Despite a decent cast it was absolutely dire -call it a commedy -maybe they find that kind of thing funny in the US:rolleyes:
Totally ridiculous storylines and very unreal characters -if you fancy going to the cinema -don't waste your money on this one.

(As an aside it was a big disaster from start to finish -went the whole hog with cokes and popcorn -husband tipped half the bucket on the floor immediately and managed to spill his coke down himself too. We are not expert cinema-goers obviously:D)

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Last thing I saw at cinema was a dinosaur documentary in 3D. It was as the IMAX in Bradford. 50FT screen!!!

The experience at IMAX is awesome. Really want to go there and watch a full film in 3D. Still can't get over the size of the screen. The 3D effects work very well on such a big screen. One bit a guy shoveled dirt into the camera lens and at least 20 people went "urrrruh" including myself. It was like having dirt thrown in ya face.

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

I saw Harry Potter; Deathly Hallows pt 1 and I still havn't seen pt 2 yet! :D

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Thats nothing, I saw Kill Bill Volume 1 in the states when it came out, still haven't seem Kill Bill Volume 2:mosher:

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Not quite the cinema but yesterday as there was nothing interesting on TV early evening decided to buy on SKY Pay per view Woody Allen's film "Midnight in Paris." He is only the director in this one, it has a great cast and I loved the storyline and of course Paris is a beatiful backdrop to any film. Was so good i watched it first in Italian (husband doesn't follow English) and then through again straight away in English!:)

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Last one was "Motorcycle Diaries" ... and before that "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." Don't much like movie theaters; you can't have a beer, or a smoke, or a toke. No fun. Should never have bothered with "Motorcycle Diaries" ... for me, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" was the defining movie:rolleyes:;)

Quite Eric! The "eyes" have it!;)

No one can squint quite like Clint:D

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Am just recovering from doing a bout of ironing in the sweltering Italian summer -fan on full blast. Luckily The King's Speech was on to keep me company -still brings a tear to my eye every time -have seen it about 5 times now (glutton for punishment!):D

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

I know what you mean about sweltering ... we've been having heat wave conditions for a couple of weeks now ... not quite as bad as the yanks are having it, but close. It got so bad down there with the power outages that Ontario sent hydro crews down to help clean up the mess. I guess that's what neighbours do, eh;) To more or less get back on topic, the weather has been so weird here that it feels like we are living in the early stages of some cheap Hollywood disaster movie:D Here follows some info which you probably have already figured out for yourself:

Oh ... drink lots of cold beer. Smoke a joint. Makes even garbage movies palatable. I watched "Same Time Next Year" last nite ... and actually enjoyed it:eek:

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Come to think of it, it's the kind of movie you might enjoy. And the theme song is not bad either.

Al Jolson, in The Jazz Singer.

Couldn't stand all that high-tech, gimmicky stuff I was bombarded with.

I've never been back.

I knew it wouldn't catch-on.

warhorse ... though the surround sound had to compete with my brother-in-laws commentary and my brothers snoring ...:p

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Oooh! Eric -you are such an old fashioned romantic at heart!:o:D

My mum drove us mad for years listening to Jonny Mathis - even took dad to one of his concerts for his birthday present once!:rolleyes:

Still battling with the heat here - my eldest took me to do the shopping earlier -I still can't drive and am using a crutch. Took me about an hour sitting under a fan to get over the heat-stroke - the Coop was freezing cold with air-con full blast and the contrast outside was scary! Serious risk of heart attack...

Wish my roses were lovely and bloomin' like the ones in your video -my garden has died off and looks like a desert -only my Oleander has survived me being away recently - non of my men thought it necessary to water the flowers:mad:

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

I watched Warhorse on TV (Pay per view again) the other evening. Was incredibly disappointed - had heard people rave over it. All far too chocolate boxy for me - Spielberg's portrayal of WW1 was not a patch on WW2 in Saving Private Ryan. Got the feeling it was a film for children -a bit too Disney for my liking.

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Thought this snatch was very "you" - being such a nifty dancer.:D

My Gran was a huge fan of Jolson and B&W minstrels in general - was the music of her youth. I tried to find a decent rendition of "Mammy" which was her big favourite but could only see the one from the recent version of The Jazz Singer.

One thing -I never realised he was Lithuanian! You learn something new every day:)

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Anyone seen "Prometheus" yet the Alien prequel?

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

No! Not likely too either -saw the first Alien when it came out - literally, from John Hurt's stomach -eughh! Not my scene -am too squeamish!

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Sorry to hear you were disappointed, 'cause I'm seriously thinking of going to see the stage version at the Princess of Wales Theatre in TO. It looks real good.


mirvish.com is the official website for tickets to shows at the Ed Mirvish Theatre (formerly the Canon), the Princess of Wales, the Panasonic and the Royal Alexandra theatres in Toronto.

But I see what you mean about the "Disney" thing ... it seems as if it is recommended for ages 10 and up.

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Really ... that squeamish.

I am very impressionable Eric - saw The Exorcist at the cinema in Chester with friend Lisa and her new boyfriend when I was 18 -they tried to fix me up with a best friend of his who had a strong look of the demonised girl :eek:- disastrous evening! Not at all my choice of film/company - couldn't sleep for about 2 weeks after:D

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

Well it was originally a children's book... and as Eric says the theatre show is for 10 and up. The film states it's for 12 and over.

Re: What was he last film you saw at the cinema?
 

I just found it to be too "glossy" somehow -the horses are brilliant in it -probably the best actors!

Spielberg had his rose-tinted specs on when he made this one...
