What was the last movie you watched?

[MC Moot]

^well now...look what the cat dragged in the creme de la creme without the skin...(y)

[MC Moot]

"Thor"...I think the only reason this was made was to connect it into the eventual entire Marvel universe coming together through the Avengers...Brannagh did a nice job creating the alternate dimension,though...

Yeah... I wasn't feeling that one much at all. I'm surprised it got pretty good reviews. There was nothing.... interesting about it.

[abcdefz]

^well now...look what the cat dragged in the creme de la creme without the skin...(y)



Haha.

Yeah, I'm in my last days at one job before starting a new one, so I'm fairly restless and unfocused at work. So, of course, I thought of this place. :D

[na§tee]

saw the last picture show t'other day. jeff bridges and cybill shepherd looking like 17 year olds, fab. i loved it but i hear texasville is shit.

oh jeff. sigh.

It's about kitchens. Girlfriend loved it too.

The Last Picture Show is terrific, and, yes, Texasville is absolutely awful. The tone is wildly different, which isn't necessarily bad in and of itself, but it makes a mockery of the original, treating each character with screwball contempt. I'm honestly not sure if it's worth watching even as a curiosity, in retrospect.

Saw Real Steel last weekend, I had very low hopes that this movie would be any good. But I was a fan of Battle Bots on TV, and I had seen the Twilight Zone episode that the movie was very roughly based on. and I mean VERY.

Anyway, it turned out much better than expected. It was a good story, almost believable, and the action was pretty darn good. Reminded me of Rocky. Underdog get's beat down, but comes back to win.

[Guy Incognito]

i have just had to sit thru Alvin and the chipmunks. Terrible

[FunkyHiFi]

Lately I've been watching movies that I am pretty sure I will not enjoy, but watch them simply I have heard so much about them, either mentioned in other movies, award shows or have people around me mention them, and I no longer want to be left "out of the loop". :rolleyes:

The latest one was The Goodbye Girl (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076095/) with Richard Dreyfuss and Marsha Mason, which by chance happened to be on the TCM channel this past Friday. Yep this is an oldie, all the way back from 1977! But I still clearly remember the mushy theme song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX8NC4ck3IY) by David Gates which was all over the radio back when I was a little kid just getting into music. Sheesh this wasn't easy to watch because I dread watching chick flicks and "relationship" movies in general. But I can see why it got so much attention and have to admit it was pretty good and was actually rather humorous, though it is not a comedy.

Next movie to sit through while watching the clock :), The Lion King.

[Lyman Zerga]

i have just had to sit thru Alvin and the chipmunks. Terrible

i thought it was a milestone of movie history (y)

[HOTWIFE]

Paper Man. Good character study of two very different lonely people that become friends. I liked it.

[icy manipulator]

i cant sleep, thinking of watching a movie
i have a craving for either
District B13
A Better Tomorrow or
Ong Bak

suggestions? i dont think any of them will help me sleep but fuck it

[FunkyHiFi]

^ If you want something sci-fi, creepy with a good story and from the 60s, you might want to give this film a shot:

Five Million Years To Earth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qfgPI3PijU)

From Hammer Films, sort of a cheap-horror-film-factory type of studio, but they had their share of good movies and I think this is one of them. Saw this as a 10 year old and it really scared me and I still get spooked watching it by myself at night! While a couple of times the special effects are really lo-tech - hey it was the late 60s so give them a break - if one can do the "suspension of disbelief" thing, they'll enjoy it.

There is something about old British horror films that most other countries cannot seem to duplicate and I think this movie has that quality. (y)

[MC Moot]

”Meeks Cutoff” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1518812/)...I was really looking forward to this indy Western especially because it’s an Oscilloscope propped flick and I'm a big fan of the genre in general...but this was pretty lame...stark in dialogue, setting and pace...on the verge of constant tedium with a complete dead end...

Morphine (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1186366/)
It was on SBS last night. It's a semi-autobiographical movie about Mikhail Bulgakov's time as a country doctor during the formation of the Soviet Union. It looks at how he developed a morphine addiction and how his life was spiraling out of control. I wanted to see it a couple of years ago when the Russian film festival was on but i couldn't get out of work.

Not too bad. Bulgakov fans should like it

I was sooooooooooo excited to see this, but same as you it completely bored me. I actually yelled "oh, fuck off" at the screen once I saw how they ended it.

[MC Moot]

^I tried to warn the people!...”Terribly Happy” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1087890/) has been my fave non-doc oscilloscope flick to date...(y)...although I have yet to see “Rare Exports” (saving for the holiday’s!)...I asked the library to pick up ”Bellflower” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1242599/) and they ordered it...looks fun or stoopid,we’ll see...has anyone watched ”The Maid” (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2861730048/tt1187044)??...

"Super 8"...why all the hype??...balls to this flick...the monster/alien sure bore more than a passing resemblence to the creatures from "Cloverfield"...much ado about very little...nod to Spielberg,blah,blah,blah...:rolleyes:

[MC Moot]

Oh I also watched:”Piranha” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464154/) this was a fascinating docu-drama about the often misaligned life of a South American carnivorous fish...heavy drama with heavy, heaving tops and bouncing bottoms...as long as PBS keeps supporting such endeavours I will continue to pledge...

"Winnebago Man"...didn't like it all...mostly just depressing and self serving...sorry ericl...I'd of rather re-watched”American Movie” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181288/),

I'd have to be smoking Earth before I watched it tho.

[MC Moot]

"Win,Win"...I liked it although I kept waiting for something to go terribly wrong...the older daughter is ridiculously cute/charming...

”Bellflower” (http://www.oscilloscope.net/films/film/45/Bellflower) this movie sucks...I snuffed it at about 40 mins...makes me wonder if Yauch is even watching...maybe I’ll try and rewatch/finish it this weekend...:confused:

I saw the Muppets last week...sober. it was cute! a friend of mine had told me it was the best movie she'd seen all year...then I realized she has a kid so probably hasn't seen anything without Elmo in it.

”1941” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078723/)...one of my Top 5 X-mas related movies...classic,way funnier and smarter then it gets accredited for...they just don't make movies like this anymore...(y)

“Horrible Bosses”...nothing much to say other than that I never thought of Jennifer Anniston in that way, until having seen this...vavavavooomm...

"Paul"...I did not care for it at all...kind of a let down considering their first 2 efforts...I have a slow burning but intense dislike of Seth Rogen that continues to fester and grow...(n)

Alvin and the Chipmunks 3- I looked at the ceiling a bit, the floor a bit and went to sleep a bit. And it was still abysmal, however the hell you spell it. Jason Lee, I really don't like you anymore. I'm trying to be ladylike and not swear but if I wasn't be assured that I would be effing and jeffing greatly. Terrible. Needless to say the kids liked it :rolleyes:

[Guy Incognito]

just took the kids to see Puss in Boots. pretty good, nowt like shrek but still funny.

I'm trying to be ladylike and not swear but if I wasn't be assured that I would be effing and jeffing greatly. Terrible. Needless to say the kids liked it :rolleyes:

I must be honest and admit that i did avoid that whole chipmunks issue at the cinema this morning.

We were in the cinema getting a couple of drinks and the trailers were playing. I hadnt told the kids what we were going to see all week as a surprise.

Then the chipmunks trailer came on and my eldest (5) became entranced and just before she opened her mouth to say what was most probably a request to see the little annoying buggers, I said "We are going to see Puss in boots", cue cheering and smiles.

I can handle occasional chipmunk films on the telly but there is no way i am paying a lot to sit in a room with loads of kids going mental for the chipmunks being too annoying at that volume.

[gbsuey]

The first one i could just about cope with, the second was a whole new level of annoying....female chipmunks singing shit r&b type songs. The third simply took the piss. Nice avoidance skills there...i was trying to take mine to see Hugo :(

Anyway, finally watched Scott Pilgrim today..grabbed the dvd for £4 in Morrisons, and i now officially have a new favourite film...completely amazing.....if anyone wants to disagree, don't bother!!

went on a little ryan gosseling trip


ides of march - interested throughout and was true to what i feel high level politics is like but the movie struck me as a bit shallow in the end. i was kinda like thats the whole movie?? but still good and worth the watch none the less.


drive - pretty badass. and really really good for the first three quarters. the last quarter of the movie got kind of weird and i feel rushed. like they had to met the deadline and just kind of came up with the end real quick. i also wasnt a big fan of the very end. but once again a good watch overall.

[HEIRESS]

The Descendants: Felt absolutely no connection to any character in the movie in any way shape or form.

Beginners: Perfect. Why the fuck this wasn't nominated for best film at the Oscars I have no clue. That goddamn dog made me fall in love with him too, bugger.

The Artist: I wasn't sure if I was going to love it going in but it kept me completely entertained, although it could have used more tap dancing. Yet again, MORE PUPPIES.

Albert Nobbs: I thought it was going to be sadder? I was oddly disappointed in the film for this reason alone. Regardless, it is an excellent film.

The Tree of Life: I hated it. I expected as much because I hated The Thin Red Line as well. If they had expanded on the middle portion more it would have been an amazing film because he did a beautiful job when he just focused on the family dynamics but the crap with the IMAX shots and Sean Penn and the opera soundtrack were boring and pointless. I can see what he was attempting to do but good grief man.

The Iron Lady: Meryl was awesome as always. I felt depressed after watching it though.

Downton Abbey (seasons 1 & 2): Became an addict and watched both seasons within a week. I WANT MORE NOW.

”Straw Dogs” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0999913/)...the original made be nauseous and quite upset...this did nothing...

I went with my kids for the first time to the newly renovated old cinema in town here and was blown away by it. It had/possibly still has the biggest screen in the country but the building itself is just stunning. Really beautiful interior-all the original ceiling features have been kept and renovated, the seating has been done for comfort instead of packing tonnes of folk in so you get essentially a comfy armchair with so much leg room. The sound is immense, just an amazing experience.

Anyway....sorry about all that blurb, but had to share on the offchance any of you kids should ever be stuck for something to do in a small Worcestershire town!!

We saw Mission Impossible 18 or whatever it is...ridiculous but really enjoyed it, especially the Simon Pegg's face on the screen bit.

”U2: From the Sky Down” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2007385/)...I’m a little perplexed as to why it’s rated so high...it was just “average” and I’m a fan, especially of the Achtung period...pretty cool to see how songs morphed from one thing into another and how huge a part Daniel Lanois played in the mix and the basis of some of the biggest riffs on the record...

”Bobby Fischer Against the World” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1777551/)...interesting documentary, pretty sad as well...I had no idea he was as ill as he was...Chess can be dangerous when it achieves a certain level of obsession and mathematics...as a child of the 70’s I also vaguely recall the chess craze like I vaguely recall Elvis dying and paddle ball...

'adam's rib'

[Guy Incognito]

A rainy bank holiday monday meant housework and chores and 2 uber bored kids so i had to resort to kids films to entertain them. Today we have watched:

Hop - shite, really weak and there are some voices in this who should know better.
Flushed Away - I thought it was crap, twee and not that funny. The kids thought it was amazing
Enchanted - utter drivel. My daughter was transfixed throughout.
Robin Hood (Disney style) - its not the best disney but has its moments. Good tunes.

I'm NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE TODAY!

[alleyezonme6198]

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Crazy, but good

O ya and Tangled
Very surprised, I loved it

[trailerprincess]

Game Change - Good if you're into politics, actually even if you're not. No joke about Julianne Moore nailing Sarah Palin (yep that sounded nice), she did an amazing job.

I have this stored and ready to watch. Am looking forward to it

[M|X|Y]

Cabin In The Woods

GO SEE THAT SHIT IMMEDIATELY.

(and try not to read anything about it before you do)

Super

with Kevin Beacon as a drug dealing Pimp. I recommend it, but my wife said it was the worst movie ever.

co-signing that! caught it last weekend!

Avengers

It had CGI and action.

[MC Moot]

”Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame”... (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1123373/)not bad...Crouching Tiger meets Sherlock Holmes...

”Cell 211” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1242422/) mad Spanish prison movie...if you like the gray bar hotel genre find it...muy aspero cine...

[MC Moot]

”Martha Marcy May Marlene” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1441326/)...whoa this is a heavy movie...very good, tough to watch but really fascinating...it’s weird cause I had the subject matter on my mind having read about the anniversary of Waco recently...

[TAL]

Senna

Oh so good. And it was fun to see people you remember again.

[BBboy20]

ASSEMBLE!

[TAL]

The Cabin In The Woods

Better than The Avengers.

Totally heavy. I'm jealous of Elizabeth's rack. I hate it when movies end like that though...

[Pres Zount]

La Haine.


I loved it.

The Cabin In The Woods

Also my good man Joss Whedon. Very excited for this too.

trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSfXh8IJEg4)

so incredibly sad. it's a documentary about this woman who was found dead in her london bedsit. her body had been there three years and no one noticed/reported it. she wasn't a weird loner, she was a young, beautiful, bubbly woman and it's all a sad mystery how she died and how she ended up alone. when they found the body the television was still on and it was surrounded by christmas presents. who were they for? she was friendly enough with someone to buy them gifts, but they never reported her missing. no one did :(

oh god, completely! it's like it says on the trailer: would anyone miss you if you disappeared? i invited a friend round for dinner immediately after watching the film!

[paul jones]

oh god, completely! it's like it says on the trailer: would anyone miss you if you disappeared? i invited a friend round for dinner immediately after watching the film!

yeah....I sometimes think of people who I haven't seen in a while who aren't on facebook or whatever or are and disappear or who are not active for a while.I've got many good friends who I don't see from months at a time sometimes because of work distractions etc.It just spooks me out that that woman was there for so long without anyone really caring enough to maybe think something was wrong that she wasn't responding to calls so they would have gone around to check.It's really sad and says a lot about society today.

[MC Moot]

”King of the Hill” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1085862/)...wild and entertaining Spanish flick...I figured out who the hunters were before the reveal,so,I was happy with myself for that...

B-


”The Perfect Host” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1334553/)...ridiculous and fun, black comedy styles...David Hyde Pierce was fantastic!...I wanna throw a party and have conga line all of a sudden...

B-

Both these movies are the type of films I will feature at my imaginary drive in theatre...not great movies at all...yet definitely not bad movies either...somewhere in between with high kitsch and viewing value...(y)

'the thrill of it all'

[JoLovesMCA]

I was a little hesitant about Justin Timberlake's acting ability but my favorite film genre is Sci-Fi so I watched In Time and was surprised how much I liked it. The concept of that movie was really out there but it was interesting.

[na§tee]

the raid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KJ0N7ik3yI).
holy crap! i've never been in a cinema and heard so many AGGHH!! UUGGHHHH OHHH FFFFFUUUUUUHHHCCKKK... noises come from the audience. suffice to say, a lot of people die in very painful ways. the martial art on display (an indonesian martial art called silat) is extraordinary. watch it.

[JohnnyChavello]

Last movie I watched was The Dictator. Pretty shit...

[M|X|Y]

co-signing that! caught it last weekend!


oh man, i really enjoyed that so much! glad you caught it! i don't really like horror movies that much, but shit did that freak the fuck out of the genre

also joss whedon (director of CITW... my gf is a big fan of his) was involved in THE AVENGERS:

i thought it was a masterpiece of action/superhero films. you can't expect anything too deep, but damn was it a thing of pure beauty. pure explosive, comic-book-violent, action packed and humorous beauty.

i LOVED it

[MC Moot]

”Let the Bullets Fly” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1533117/)...a damn solid Chinese spaghetti western...has all the components but plays it seriously...unlike your ”The Good,the Bad and the Weird” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0901487/) which is great for polar opposite reasons...(y)

[JoLovesMCA]

Finally watched part of Twilight. It's horrible. What happened with teen vampire flicks?? My generation got Kiefer Sutherland. Thank GOD! I should have just re-watched the Lost Boys.

A movie called Let the Bullets Fly starring Chow Yun Fat was a little bit deceiving. I probably had higher expectations but it wasn't as good as The Good the Bad the Weird.

Watched Shanghai early today, pretty damn good
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy yesterday. over rated.

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

Chronicle!!

[trailerprincess]

I watched a few things on the plane

Young Adult: not what I was expecting but rather good/grim
Safe House: blowing shit up in South Africa, meh
Mission Impossible 4: ok, Jeremy Renner can do little wrong in my book
half of the second Sherlock Holmes movie which was good

[Guy Incognito]

Arthur. with russell brand.

[LuciferHam]

Prometheus, check the thread for my thoughts.

[Micodin]

I finally got to watching the US version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Not bad. I wasn't intentionally comparing it the the Swedish version a lot.

It was good, looked stylish, good acting. 4 outta 5 stars.

I've never read the books but I liked the Swedish trilogy films.

[MC Moot]

"Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"...really liked it...Gary Oldman remains a true chameleon...(y)

[Heather_D]

I watched "She's out of my league" on E! The other night. I still can't believe I cried. It wasn't even the bad acting that made me cry. :mad:

[Micodin]

Prometheus - Sadly disappointed. 3 1/2 out of 5.

The Social Network - Not what I was expecting. 4 out of 5.

[Junker]

Le Placard - A very nice French comedy.

Braindead - One of the greatest films I ever saw. So trash, so funny, so disgusting.

[Junker]

"Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"...really liked it...Gary Oldman remains a true chameleon...(y)

I liked a lot too.

[Heather_D]

Just saw Ted. Funny stuff, though not for the little ones or those easily offended. Makes me miss Boston.

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

Project X

[FunkyHiFi]

Pandorum (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1188729/) - pretty decent sci-fi, but made me feel vaguely claustrophobic, sweaty & grimy just 20 minutes into it. :cool:

[ms.peachy]

Finally saw In Bruges last night. Which I've been meaning to do for years now. Flippin' heck what a good film. Everybody in it was ace and the pacing was spot on. Worth waiting for.

[Guy Incognito]

watched x men first class the other day. pretty good actually

and the adjustment bureau. i liked it, nice idea, could have been better, ending was a bit weak but it was a good enough story.

[MC Moot]

”The Petrified Forest” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028096/)...I had never seen this before, really cool, reminds me of how bad ass Bogart was in his day...also it maybe just my mindset but Yauch sure shared some physical resemblance/looks to Humps here...a must watch for your movie acumen...this is a sweet deal...

Words cannot describe the amount of contempt I hold for Russell Brand.

I watched Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie the other night. Not for everybody, as it goes for everything they do, but if you know how to take them, they're great. Decent flick. Funny enough to hold my interest via very subtle jokes and gestures.

Words cannot describe the amount of contempt I hold for Russell Brand.

I predict that one day you will find yorself on a plane,in the middle of a 3 seat row,between Russell Brand and Dane Cook...I'd like to make this happen for you...(y)

[JoLovesMCA]

watched x men first class the other day. pretty good actually

and the adjustment bureau. i liked it, nice idea, could have been better, ending was a bit weak but it was a good enough story.

I love The Adjustment Bureau. Emily Blunt is great. We need more Sci-Fi films like this.

Seconds Apart… Weird ass flick about these sick twisted freaky TWIN teenage boys who get pleasure out of murdering their school mates. I loved it! Orlando Jones is in it too. He’s the only actor I recognized. Twins scare me now.

[DIGI]

I thought it was terrible...


I'm sure most people would agree with you.

[checkyourprez]

I saw Ted last night. It was really good. stupid, a little racist, funny, all the good stuff. And actually a decent plot.

Pink Flamingos

The most disturbing movie I've ever seen. But it's a great film in all its trash-intended theme.

[MC Moot]

^I would of liked to be on board for this ride... (http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/stop-the-presses/john-waters-picked-hitchhiking-indie-band-magic-223025501.html)I think the only 2 Waters movies I really like are “Serial Mom” and “Cry Baby”...but I think he’s a pretty fascinating and eccentric American artist...particularly his knowledge of the pulp,cult and macabre era’s...

[MC Moot]

”Act of Valor” ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1591479/) the most blatant piece of American movie propaganda I’ve seen since “Black Hawk Down”...the military capability's featured are true feats of engineering though...

[Guy Incognito]

Cowboys And Aliens. Ok.

Real Steel. Real Shite.

Eraserhead

[MC Moot]

”The Wildest Dream” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1509276/)...Fantastic doc...I remember watching the National Geographic special where Conrad Anker found Mallory’s body in 1999...truly fascinating stuff to me...this follows him back to Everest where they try to recreate, through period equipment and non-fixed climbs, the rudimentary ascent made by Mallory and the ultimate debate as to whether Mallory and Andrew Irvine may have been the first to summit...wicked good flick...Watching Anker assail what would become known as “Hillary’s Step” is unbelievable,jawdropping,breath taking stuff...best movie I've seen in months...(y)

[Micodin]

Moonrise Kingdom

Another Wes Anderson masterpiece.

[MC Moot]

”Casa de mi Padre” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1702425/)...made me laugh aloud a few times, a couple of great moments but not a great movie by any stretch...but amusing enough to stick it out...especially if you speak Spanish the translation of what Ferell is actually saying is a riot...liked the Mexicana western schtick...

”Wet Hot American Summer” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243655/)...summer would be incomplete without watching it once a year…it’s a perennial classic right up there with Meatballs, Fast Times and Dazed and Confused...


Funny movies are fun...

[icy manipulator]

The Raid (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1899353/)

So fucking awesome i had to watch it twice. Seriously the best action film of the last 5 years

[Guy Incognito]

Brave. Not bad, in the mould of Tangled and How to train your dragon. For anyone thinking of taking little kids to see this, it was ok but we took two 6 yr olds and the mahoosive bear thats in it did frighten them a fair bit but they were quite err.. brave about it.

[Guy Incognito]

Dodgeball. Again. Still hilarious.

[TAL]

Moonrise Kingdom

Very nice!

[Helvete]

Recently I have watched (all for the first time).

The Dark Knight, very good, don't know why it never interested me before.
The Godfather, knew I'd like it, just had to be patient and give it a go.
Midnight Express, don't fucking go to Turkey!

[Guy Incognito]

^ midnight express is amazing until you find out what he got up afterwards.

anyhoo i watched moneyball t'other day and it was pretty good , wish i'd known a bit more about how baseball clubs are set up and a better understanding of what tactics they were employing but it was cool . i really like jonah hill, he's underrated.

[na§tee]

oh god it's hard to remember.

the great white silence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoe7noZkLlI). amazing documentary from captain scott's south pole expedition. original colour tints and really modern images. brilliant.

young adult. pretty good. charlize theron was great as the least likeable protagonist for a while. strangest sex scene i've seen in a long time too.

searching for sugar man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL5TffdOQ7g). outstanding! *MASSIVE SPOILER*, but i'm going to see rodriguez live in december. been working with the promoter to arrange stuff for our cinema.

tomorrow i am going to see looper.

[Guy Incognito]

Watched The Muppets at the weekend. Not bad at all.

[Helvete]

^ midnight express is amazing until you find out what he got up afterwards.
Wrote a book?

[Guy Incognito]

Wrote a book?

No, well yes but i think i have got confused with something else now. am sure he got in trouble again, maybe i'm confused

[roosta]

Looper

Very good. Much better than I expected.

[Gareth]

judge dredd - lotsa bloodshed and quite brutal. good fun. karl urban and avon barksdale.
looper - enjoyed this. is it me or is does emily blunt of 2012 look different to emily blunt of earlier times?
being elmo - doco about the guy behind elmo. damn near made me cry. nearly. but not quite.

[Gareth]

watched these on the plane:

five year engagement: another movie in which emily blunt looks a little odd. i feel like i've seen every jason segel movie ever.
snow white and the huntsman: kristen stewart is attractive in this. not much to it, but i enjoyed it.
nightfall - a hong kong (?) crime thriller. has the guy from election in it. you can piece it together pretty early on so a bit meh.
think like a man - by this stage i still couldn't sleep and was scraping from the bottom of the barrell.

[Guy Incognito]

the girl with the dragon tattoo - the one with james bond in it

i liked it

[roosta]

Dredd

I was a BIG fan of the comics as a kid, only comic I collected religiously. I thought they did a very good job with what looks to be a limited budget. Stayed true to the character. Good, fun, simple story.

Would love there to be a sequel so they could expand on it.

[Guy Incognito]

Madagascar 3

Very silly but a couple of genuinely hilarious bits

kids loved it, my youngest was singing i like to move it move it non stop for about 3 hours after which wasnt annoying at all

[silence7]

Moonrise Kingdom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N8wkVA4_8s). These kind of movies always remind me of Jean Pierre Jeunet and his quirky weird movies.

Liked it a lot. Not a mainstream blockbuster, not the hit of the summer, but fun and different.

[Micodin]

The Man With the Iron Fists

As much as I love martial arts flicks and the Wu-Tang Clan. This film was a mess. It had too much in story and not much time to tell it. The fight scenes were subpar with odd camera angles and the dialogue was contrived. I came in excited to see this movie and came out pretty bummed. Some cool stuff happened but not enough to keep my interest.

2/5

'American Psycho'


Fucking awesome!

[Pres Zount]

Sunshine. It was pretty cool, but I think the ending was slightly weak.

[TimDoolan]

Moonrise Kingdom. I'm a big Wes Anderson fan but I just could not get into it. Anderson's films have a way of growing on me but I think the kid stars didn't have enough range.

[JoLovesMCA]

'American Psycho'


Fucking awesome!

Who dissects girls and then asks if she likes Huey Lewis and the News? Man I love that movie! Patrick Bateman!!!!

I loved Paranorman. It might scare small kids, heck it scared me. It was a brilliant film though. Funny and scary.

BTW I just noticed your signature!

Clerks! Dante! I just watched that again recently. Good memories from my highschool days.

[birdfloatindown]

I saw the Oscilloscope-produced documentary, "Dear Zachary: A Letter To A Son About His Father." I don't even know how I came to it, I just stumbled across it on YouTube, and once I saw that familiar logo, I figured I'd watch it. Man, it was amazing, but my god, was it BRUTAL. If you're in the mood for a good cry, watch it. It's heartbreaking.

[ProfJIM]

Sunshine. It was pretty cool, but I think the ending was slightly weak.

I love that movie but I kinda agree about the third act.

I just watched Men in Black 3 at the in-laws and I surprisingly didn't hate it.

[MC Moot]

”The Reef” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1320291/)…I liked it,but it’s my kind of thing…beautiful scenery,shipwreck,survival and mofo SHARKS!!!...Liked it much more than ”Open Water” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374102/?ref_=fn_al_tt_9)…also supposedly based on true events…

[Guy Incognito]

Contagion - Awful, i wanted the virus to spread quicker

[HEIRESS]

Recently tried to watch Savages, what a horrendous piece of dog-shit.

[TimDoolan]

Recently tried to watch Savages, what a horrendous piece of dog-shit.

Yep. Could not finish watching the picture.

[BangkokB]

Yep. Could not finish watching the picture.
And Oliver Stone has his name attached to that. What the hell was he thinking. I wonder if directors and actors/actresses realize that the movie they're in is a piece of shit while they're filming it or if it comes as a surprise upon viewing.

I saw The Master. Folks, I'm not gonna lie: I dosed off during the 1st portion of it. But that's my bad not PT Andersons. Phillip Seymour Hoffman never disappoints and he brought his A Game to the table. Best movie I've seen with him since "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead"

[Randetica]

'the dictator'

Beasts of the Southern Wild

interesting film

[Guy Incognito]

The Hobbit.

Good. Still a bit unsure how they are going to get three decent films out of it but it held the attention and some good performances

[icy manipulator]

A Night at the Roxbury.

if you think Anchorman is Will Ferrell's funniest film you're too fucking young!

[Yeti]

Django Unchained

[M|X|Y]

lez miz: 9/10. anyone who hated it really just wants to see the bway show on screen. great flick

hobbit: 8/10. amazing cinematography. i read the books in hs, listened to the audio version from 1988 on a car ride the day after - the film was pretty faithful. stunning, the only warts i saw were towards the end, during on of the fight scenes - one or two really bad lines that (added in, i think)... totally killed the hobbit boner. good though
also: the 3D was just right

lincoln: 7.5/10. totally worth it, though lacked a bit of depth. glad the film will bring spark interest in the story for new generations.

life of pi: 7/10. beautiful cinematography. saw it in 3D, the visuals were excellent. the story was alright. i saw 'the black stallion' many times as a kid and it reminded me of that.

into the wild 8.5/10. great film of a true story. directed by sean penn. no frills approach. i liked that the actor was an unknown picked by penn. one of those "makes you think" movies.
