What's the last movie you've seen?

[Tao]

'Collateral Damage' was on last night.


I was surprised, I thought I had watched all the Schwarzenegger films but I don't recall ever seeing this though I thought I had. Was good though.

I liked the parts where he punched things and spouted one liners. Yano, as opposed to his other films where he punches thing and spouts one liners...

I attempted to watch The Blair Witch Project again last night but it was dark and I was alone and I couldn't make it to the end.

it wasn't as good as some other films, but better than the first in my opinion

When the Last Sword Is Drawn (2003). Told mostly in retrospect from two perspectives, this is the story of two samurai with distinctive ideologies during a transition period between the waning Tokugawa Shogunate and the rising Meiji Imperial Government.

The final thirty minutes of this movie is particularly distinctive for its lengthy soliloquy by Kiichi Nakai's character, the samurai Kanichiro Yoshimura. As anyone familiar with plays might tell you, many minutes of a character merely talking to himself demands a commanding presence, and Nakai delivers the gravitas and naked emotion.

However, it was the 'bridge scene' much earlier in the movie that had the most emotional impact for me: Yoshimura, desperate to earn enough money to support his family, leaves them behind, along with the region he was born in, and the clan to whom he owed undying loyalty. After secretly giving farewell one snowy night to his wife and kids, Yoshimura makes haste to leave, but is stopped on the bridge by his son, Kaichir?, who begs Yoshimura to give proper farewell to his young daughter, Mitsu. As Mitsu shyly but incessantly calls out his name, Yoshimura is on bended knee, reduced to tears.

As is hinted above, this movie, despite the occasional action sequence, is very much a character study: a well-written but slow churning story utilized by the acting of Kiichi Nakai and Kōichi Satō, who plays the rival samurai, Hajime Sait?. Definitely not casual viewing: If you want to munch down on popcorn then hit the club after the credits start rolling, watch a Steven Seagal movie instead.

Just watched Ride Along last night as something silly to put me to sleep. Didn't work, I actually ended up liking it.
