Re: What was the last movie you saw??
I went in with a certain trepidation. It's a play I know inside out and backwards, having conducted the orchestra for the Canadian premiere.
I can say that with a few VERY minor quibbles, it's a brilliant adaptation of the play. It works.
Minor quibbles? I'm never tired of hearing Sondheim, so... they COULD have added a song or two back into the 2nd act. I still think the film version works wonderfully. It was done with love and with great respect.
Surprises? Who knew that Captain Kirk could sing like that? WHOA! He belted out "Agony" like there's no tomorrow!
Oh, another minor quibble.. I don't care for the kid who sang Jack (of Beanstalk fame). he talks with a really heavy accent, and mumbles a bit. I disliked him in Les Mis, and he wasn't much different here. He has a great voice! and is a great young actor. My only minor quibble is the accent (he sounds like an extra from act 1 of My Fair Lady) and what almost sounds like a speech impediment.
Visually beautiful film.
And I was surprised to see almost everyone who worked on the stage musical was somehow involved in the film... like Sondheim's orchestrator (who did an amazing job adapting the music to a much larger orchestra), and the conductor who does almost all of Sondheim's shows, etc... In other words, the film was just positively drowning in people who knew the play and understood it to its core.

Re: What was the last movie you saw??
I haven't seen it yet, but I know the book, and I know the material they added to the film to create the link with LotR. I think that "defeated" feeling you had was because in a sense, you should watch The Hobbit first, then Lord of the Rings. The film makers went about it backwards, making the first chapters of the saga last. In essence, The Hobbit ends where Lord of the Ring should start, and the continuity means that the end of Hobbit can't really be "joyous" and "final". The story has barely begun at that point.Castile wrote:Watched the last hobbit film on boxing day and i'm abit dissapointed. I haven't read the book but I left feeling rather depressed and apparently they changed alot anyway. I dunno after LOTR final i felt uplifted but after this one not so much. The battle scenes were great and all but yeah. Just felt very defeated after that film.
I can hardly wait to see it.
The first two Hobbit films were not my favourites of the entire series, but I still enjoyed them enough.

Re: What was the last movie you saw??
Yeah my husband has read the book and said they left one part out at the end and if it had been included it would of been more happy and satisfying ending? I still liked it as a film but much prefer LOTR trilogy to this one.Sukurachi wrote:I haven't seen it yet, but I know the book, and I know the material they added to the film to create the link with LotR.

The next film i hope to see is the one about the Enigma (sp?) machine. The guy that invented it has a pretty sad story - he pretty much saved britian by inventing the first computer but they repaid him by accidently killing him! He was gay and apparently back then it was considered a crime and you had to chose between prison and chemical castration - he chose castration and it killed him

Re: What was the last movie you saw??
The chemical castration isn't what killed him, however. It is an (depends on who you are talking to) "accidental" poisoning. Some, however, have indicated that there is evidence to show that the government may have had a role in his death.

Re: What was the last movie you saw??
- I think The Grand Budapest Hotel may have been the most underrated movie of 2014. I absolutely loved it. Very charming and funny. It felt like an old-style comedy, but with some modern explicitness.
- What We Do in the Shadows - kiwi mockumentary about a group of vampires sharing a house in Auckland. Stars Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords fame. I thought it was hilarious, but you really have to appreciate local humour.
- The Imitation Game - I thought was beautifully done. I know some of the plots were fabricated for the sake of drama, and I really have trouble believing certain events happened in the way they were depicted, but I still thought it was a great movie.
- Like everyone else here (apparently!) I also saw Into the Woods. I thought it was OK. Meryl Streep is brilliant, and I loved the girl who played Red Riding Hood. The princes were both quite talented singers, but I loved the guy who played the baker more.

I saw The Grand Budapest Hotel. I thought it was quite the charming movie as well I think it won some awards actually, which I didn't expect.Wain wrote:During my holiday I actually managed to see quite a few movies:

I've gotten so behind on my movies and I even missed some I wanted to see >< Now I gotta wait to watch them. I saw the third Hobbit movie. I liked the first two (SMAUG!!! <3) but there was a point in each of them where they couldn't keep my attention for a good 20mins or so. I have ADD so it happens sometimes when a movie is nearly 3hrs long. But, this one kept my attention the whole time so I give it extra props for that
I also saw Into the Woods cuz my bf loves musicals (I...don't) and man...that second part was f**ked up. Other than that, I have no opinion on the movie. Like I said, I don't like musicals.

Re: What was the last movie you saw??
One thing that really bothered me though, for a movie called "The Hobbit", is that I felt like we didn't see enough of poor Bilbo. While I love Tolkien's Elves, I found the amount of screen-time they got in this movie exasperating. I was half-expecting Legolas or Tauriel to be the one to get to kill Azog. Because hey, we haven't seen enough of them, right?
