Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
Last film I saw at the cinema: Scooby Doo 2. An OK film, but I have to admit the main reasons I watched it are Linda Cardinelli (plays Velma, and Sam in ER) and Sarah Michelle Geller (plays Daphne, and Buffy in Buffy). 7/10.
Last film I saw on DVD/video: Can't really remember. It's Underworld or League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and I thoroughly enjoyed both.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
"Dungeons & Dragons: The Movie" (DVD - only a fiver, LOL)
Script & acting...not great, but I've seen much worse.
FX & action were OK.
The main hero (played by Justin Whalin - Jimmy Olsen from "Lois & Clark") was...OK.
The female lead (Zoe McLellan) was...quite nice, in a "smart & sexy" way  (I have a weakness for brainy brunettes)
The "Empress" character (played by Jane Burnham - the daughter in American Beauty) was a bit of a poor "Queen Amidala wannabe".
The "comedy sidekick" character was annoying & unfunny...which is to be expected from any character played by Marlon Wayans IMO.
The main bad guy, however, was played by a wonderfully OTT Jeremy Irons. Each scene with him was great, just for his cheesy & OTT acting. His main henchman (Bruce Payne) was also good in a cheesy & OTT way.
Hmm.
Not a great movie, but not crap.
6/10.

"Thirteen Days" (DVD) - 8/10
Very good dramatisation of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Well made, with a good cast (despite Kevin Costner's baffling accent).
Well paced, & manages to increase the tension despite you knowing how it ends.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
Kill Bill Vol2 at the Cinema a couple of weeks ago (7/10).....much preferred Vol1. Far too much dialogue about her daughter, etc. and just wanted to see Uma kick ar$e. A bit disappointed with the ending as well.
Sense and Sensibility on DVD a couple of nights ago 9/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
Left Behind ( www.leftbehind-themovie.com) - I suspect not many people here will have heard of it, it's a modern day take on Revelations. It started off as a series of books which were awesome (sold more than 50 million) and it was only going to be a matter of time before they made a film.
Saying that.....the film is truly awful. Terrible acting, VERY low budget effects, poor casting, sub-plots which don't make sense....
I bought the DVD as it was on special offer - this doesn't even come up to the standard of a made-for-tv film, which is a shame as it should have been a LOT better.
3/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw...
Finally saw Pirates of the Caribbean a couple of weeks ago after avoiding it for a long time because I was worried I wouldn't enjoy it. Great fun though and with some very pleasing men in it  . An 8/10.
Saw Lost in Translation at the cinema earlier this week. Wonderful film. A 10 for me.

i agree the film was a complete let down. The characters, i thought, were badly cast, however i tried buying a copy but apparently it is american so not compatible over here 
saw dreamcatcher a while ago too and i agree with miss c it was fantastic
