What Movies Have You Seen Lately?

Saw a quirky film last night between checking election results, Keeping Mum , with yet even more quirky casting:

Rowen Atkinson, a vicar, is married to Kristen Scott Thomas, who is having an affair with her golf pro played by Patrick Swayzie, and her homicidal Mum is played by Maggie Smith.

Murders most amusing.

My wife and I watched that a couple of months ago. Great movie!

Yeah I saw "Keeping Mum" a few years ago, hilarious if a bit black humour.

Black humour is great. I saw an inspector Morse last night, what is interesting is that two of the actors had appeared on the same Dr Who episode that my brother watched earlier that evening.

Yes there's quite a lot of buzz about it in the UK too, think it comes out here at Xmas - plus it has the divine Hugh Jackman in it

What Movies Have You Seen Lately?

Almost anything you can list including some of the really stupid ones like Tropic Thunder (horrible movie unless you love stupidity at it greatest). If I haven't seen it I probably have it anyway waiting to watch it. The only ones I don't like much are what they call Horror now (not scary only bloody and gutty).

I loved that movie and went to see it when it was released in the cinema! The entire human cast and the water horse were amazing. You can't go wrong gifting that one, EC. I really wanted to see lots of Scotland (as usual) but it was filmed in New Zealand. Well, that's a mighty beautiful place too. But it wasn't a Scottish loch .... wah.
