What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

I watched two films over the weekend.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 DVD - 7/10, it was ok and Emma Watson looks stunning but it did miss a lot of bits out from the book which is one of the reason why I am always sceptical of book adaption films. Very long duration also. The second one will be better as that is where the real action begins and is the main part.

Fast and Furious 5 - 10/10 - Went to the cinema to see this, can not fault it. Great action with the car/police chase with the safe of money on the back of the car and elements of humour from Tyrese Gibson and Ludracis. Best one yet.

Did the movie talk about her kidnapping that child or did they gloss over that? I've always been curious.

Good, hope you enjoy it. Make sure you stay back at the end and watch the credits rather than rushing off like most people did. There was a clip with a spolier which gives a hint to what might happen in the 6th film.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley. Fascinating film about the formation of the IRA.

Yeah I saw the spoiler because unlike other people I actually sit and watch the credits.

I like to see who the production accountant is on each movie that I see at the theater.

Most people rushed off because they don't like rap music too much but I wanted to see who would win that CGI race and then I discovered that little treat at the end of the race.

I really liked FastFive but I just didn't like the fact that it was a bit too comfortable at parts like the actors were laughing and telling insider jokes. I have seen this happen in three films before.

Rush Hour 3, Ocean's 13 and The Expendables.

Thor - pretty good. One scene actually made me cry tears of joy. And my fiancee felt touched also. 8/10

The Lost Bladesman - terribly exaggerated and different than history - 4/10

Glad you saw the spoiler. I like to see the production accountant as well. Disagree with the jokes, thought they were funny. It does happen indeed in the two of the films I have seen, Ocean's 13 and The Expendables.

I'm curious....why do you like to see the production accountant?

I want to see if your reason is the same as mines.
