What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

If you guys like old black and white foreign films I would strongly recommend "Red Beard" (Japanese movie). I thought it was fantastic. I'm also a fan of some Italian Neo-Realism, such as, "Umberto D" and "Bicycle Thieves."

I prefer New Italian Cinema to Neo-Realism.
 
I saw ParaNorman last night, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is stop motion animation at its finest. I love to see stop motion still being used for feature films. It's just too bad people tend to overlook them (low box office numbers) in favor of CG movies. It's sad when a crap CG movie earns more money just due to being CG. Stop motion has a lifelike quality to it that CG just can't touch. My little rant aside, ParaNorman is a great movie. It has a very good story with quite a bit of humor mixed in. The showing I attended had quite a few kids. The kids there really seemed to love it. A big group of kids clapped at the end. If you have kids that can handle some mildly (pretty tame) creepy elements, they would very likely enjoy this movie. Anyone who is a fan of stop motion, or just good animation in general, should also find enjoyment in this movie.

I'd recommend Mary and Max. It's without a doubt the most mature animated movie I've seen, and the animation is just beautiful.

EDIT: If you decide to watch it, I'm not sure you'll want your kids to join you. I don't think it has a rating, but it definitely had a bit of mature content for an animated movie (maybe like PG-13 stuff...maybe).

It's a really, really unique and entertaining film. The main star also wrote it, shes so cute.

I'm not sure I'd call it entertaining. Loved the movie though. One of the best of the last couple years imo. And yeah, the chick's background is interesting. Without looking it up again, I think she went to Georgetown and graduated with a degree in Economics, maybe Finance...

Watched Expendables 2. It was actually good for what it was, a movie with big old names + big old explosions + 20 year old one liners = time that I can just shut off my brain and be mildly entertained.

It was an absolute popcorn flick... not that that is a bad thing.
