I'm ready. Headed to take in the new Spidey flick though.

My lady friend lost the coin flip for movie night -- We'll be seeing Ted instead of Magic Mike... YEAH BITCH!!!

Told you dude.

I think BB might be slightly better, but they're both INCREDIBLE.

I finally watched "Goon." Loved it. You would probably have to enjoy hockey to enjoy the movie.

Goon was really enjoyable.

Great, great movie.

Wayyyyy better than I anticipated.

Actually I am only casually interested in the NHL, never played hockey but I really enjoyed it. Having been a child of SportsCenter in the late 90s/early 00s, I picked up on the little hints here and there to famous hockey fights from the past.

Loosely based on a true story? Wow.

I thought Stiffler got redundant real quick.

Other than that role -- I really like Seann William Scott.

Funny dude -- and seems like a genuinely good dude.

I am watching the Matrix trilogy this week with my fiance. So far the special effects do not hold up as well except for bullet time. Alot of awful dialog too. She had never seen it before.

I've been underwhelmed by about every single movie I've watched recently.

- War Horse (silly)
- The Artist (gimmicky and unmemorable)
- Moonrise Kingdom (no attachment and disappointing)
- Barefoot in the Park (couldn't even finish this)

At least Mad Men season four was fun to watch.

Jesus Henry Christ.

It was interesting and entertaining. Not great by any means, but it's funny and it will make you think. Slight overacting in a few spots. Overall, worth a rent.

Love The Matrix. I like to pretend the sequels don't exist.

Layer Cake has one of the best endings to a drug gang movie ever. LMAO

That's a good movie. The book actually ends a little differently.

It's brilliant, and you can see why it landed Craig the Bond role.

One of my all-time favorite scenes.

Dear God, ATM was the worst movie I saw this year. Dont waste your time. I should have looked at rottentomatoes before wasting my bandwidth on it.

Ass to mouth?

Due Date. I love Zach G, it was worth the free rental.

Due Date was worth the free rental. Zach G being Zach G.

I have to admit that I'm a sucker for high school movies. Just watched Easy A. I so love that movie.

Easy A is really an outstanding movie. It is a love letter to John Hughes.

Hachi: A Dog's Tale

Wonderful movie.

That movie had some very funny moments.

You wanna see some sketches of Zach G being Zach G then you need to go to Funnyordie.com and watch his "Between Two Ferns" sketches.

Hilarious.

Also check out his stand up: Live at the Purple Onion.

Hilarious.

I really enjoyed it to. I stumble upon it one night browsing Netflix streaming etc.

+, I think Emma Stone is smoking hot.

but, the movie was still good.

I broke out some relatively recent ones. I put in the 2009 Star Trek BluRay. Man, I've forgot how much I enjoyed that movie. As unbelievable as the story is, it felt believable. And pretty much all the (main) characters nailed it. I absolutely cannot wait until the next installment.

Also broke out Ridley Scott's Robin Hood BluRay. Son of a bitch if that isn't a quite enjoyable movie also. I know there are some here that despised it, but man, I really enjoyed it.

My girlfriend watched Brokeback Mountain in the living room while I watched the Royals in the bedroom. I don't know which is gayer.

And seriously, this was our afternoon.

I thought Brokeback was really good. NTTAWWT.

Smoking hot?
She's kinda cute, but smoking? Eh...
Different strokes for different folks, I 'spose.

People on thi site love Emma Stone. Shes cute in a nerdy, normal-girl way but not smoking by any means.

Journey to the Mysterious Island was entertaining.

blasphemy

I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating cheetos.

Wife rented This Means War.

It was pretty bad. Really. But it is moderately entertaining. There are a couple of funny parts, most of it is Chris Pine just being funny.

There are a couple amazing things about the movie though. Tom Hardy made an incredible transformation to Bane. Dude can really act. And is a bad ass. BAMF.

Reese Witherspoon is still unbelievably hot. After having all those kids and as old as she is, she looks ****ing amazing. I am truly impressed. I want to hammer that hard.

How to train a dragon was pretty good.

In Time is a stupid ass movie. Took me 3 attempts to watch the whole thing without getting pissed off and turning it off.

Got through about 10 minutes of The girl with the dragon tattoo till I realized that this movie just isn't for me. Had no interest in seeing Lisbeth catch whoever it is she was supposed to catch.

Surprised to see Easy A getting all the love it's getting. It wasn't anything special to me. The plot was amazingly dumb to me.

Agree on that one. Our daughter watched it 3 or 4 times in the 2 days we had it. I didn't mind it either, pretty entertaining for a kiddie movie.

Anyone see the Man of Steel teaser?

Sorry too lazy to embed.

It's a love letter to John Hughes.

Safe House was great. Denzel was Denzel and Ryan Reynolds did a ****ing fantastic job. That dude really shines when he's given a serious role.

I also watched a foreign film called City of God. It's based in Brazil around 1960-1970, right outside of Rio De Janeiro. It was basically about growing up in the favela. The drugs and guns were so bad there was a point when police wouldn't even go into the city; it was completely controlled by the "hoods" (dealers). It's crazy to see how out of control it was at that time. Kids, 6 years old, had guns and killed with no remorse. Insane stuff. I'd definitely recommend it if you don't mind subtitles..

I'd say City of God is definitely a must-watch. One of the best films of the past 15 years. There was a sequel series called City of Men that was later condensed down into a 2 hour movie. Worth checking out.

Just watched Machine Gun Preacher. Good flick based on a true story.

This is a good read for Sci fi horror fans.

Yeah I thought Reynolds was pretty damn good in "Buried". If you haven't seen it, it's ok. I wanna check out Safe House sometime.

I watched Martin Scorsese's "After Hours" again this weekend. I've probably seen that movie like 6 times and I just love it. It's one of my favorite movies. I don't really know why. I doubt ANYONE else - maybe in the world - has that particular movie in their "top whatever" favorite movies list. Something about it is just entertaining as hell to me. The music is really kinda creepy too, and it suits the movie well. Check it out if you haven't seen it. I'm not saying you will think it's a great movie, but I believe you'll be entertained by it if you have the ability to watch and enjoy under the radar 80s films.

Yeah I saw Buried a while back. He did a great job there as well, being the only actor visible for like 98% of the movie. He was also really good in The Amityville Horror.

I thought safe house was pretty average. Maybe I hyped it to much in my mind before I seen it.

That's possible. I had a couple people tell me it was terrible and/or boring so I lowered my expectations. I ended up redboxing it a couple weeks after it dropped and was pleasantly surprised. I should have known though. Denzel doesn't make bad movies and Ryan Reynolds is tits.

I bought Garbage Pail Kids for nostalgic reasons.

If I remember it is kinda, sorta ****ed up.

Not sure if it's been mentioned here, but I recently saw Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles. It's a documentary about the mystery of the Toynbee tiles, which are tiles that have been found in the road of several major US cities with the following message:

TOYNBEE IDEA
IN Kubrick's 2001
RESURRECT DEAD
ON PLANET JUPITER.

The film follows a group of guys who are determined to find out who made the tiles and why. Very interesting.

Really? I was disappointed in "Safe House".
The action was great, but it wore on too long.
I was thought the ending was meh...

Has anyone seen "Beasts of the Southern Wild"?
I saw the trailer and was intrigued by it.

Super Man....hitchhiking! :facepalm:

It's a Scorsese film, it's not under the radar.

Maybe it isn't. I don't know. I just haven't ever heard anyone talk about it. I wouldn't have ever known about it until I caught it on some random movie channel late at night.

I haven't heard of it. Jenson has, he is big into Scorsese and probably seen it at least 10x.

Well the whole government corruption plot has been done a million times in a million different ways, so there was nothing fresh about the film. I just thought the acting was ****ing fantastic and the action was pretty tense. I didn't feel the drag you say. Honestly, they could have added 30 more minutes of Denzel and Reynolds just interacting and I would have been happy.

I will say again that I had almost no expectations going in, thanks to some idiot friends. Movies that pleasantly surprise me tend to make more of an impact. The same thing happened with Thor recently. I didn't even care if I ever saw that movie. I saw it, it was good, now it's one of my faves.

hey, I know this is a little out there for this thread.......but I just gotta share....

stumbled across this a few weeks ago on some movie channel at about 2am. watched about 20 minutes and fell asleep. woke up next day and was very surprised to search and find it showing again so I set a timer. one of those soft porn things.
it was absolutley hilarious! I just had to see the whole thing. man its horrible, yet you can't look away!

for your viewing pleasure I give you.....

Red X is a severely underrated motion picture.

works for me. though I almost wish it didn't.

Ted was OK. Worth a Redbox, nothing more. Was only funny when the bear was cussing, smoking, doing coke, etc.

Saw this last night.
Wasn't the most cohesive film, but it was deeply emotional.
I enjoyed it.

Watching Hunger Games.

Kinda hokey.

Jennifer Lawrence is beautiful.

Take a book with adult ideas but written for tweens, then condense it down to what was a fast 2hr20mins and the result is not good. It just felt so damned rushed.

I did like the games themselves though.

With premium TV making more and more quality adaptations, I'd like to see what HBO or AMC could have done with a 3-4 part series per book.

She is. First time I'd ever seen her was in "X-Men: Origins".
Hawt.

Check out Winter's Bone. Seriously. It's on Netflix. She's a hell of an actress too.

Insert obligatory sex joke :)

Watched some rentals on flights this weekend. Real Steel was surprisingly entertaining, and I was also surprised that I did not want to program a robot to beat the kid in it. I usually hate movie kids, but he was pretty benign.

Also watched The Flowers of War. I was curious about it because it is one of those movies that critics absolutely hated, but viewers seem to really like. On rottentomatoes, Top critics put it at 21%, but viewers average rating is 3.9 and 78% liked it.

I did not hate it like critics, but it was hard to take the setup seriously, and I am never a fan of one dimensional villains, but I get that it would be hard to give emotional depth to the perpetrators of the invasion. That aside, the characters in the church were engaging and it is definitely watchable.

Also rewatched Drugstore Cowboy. Still as good as the day I first watched it in 1989. "You never **** me, and I always have to drive!" -Diane

Went to see the campaign tonight.

I got a few chuckles out of it, but it wasnt ferrells best work.

Galifianakis did a better job. Showed some emotion, but overall it wasnt that good.

Shocking....

Ferrell's work has always been hit-and-miss for me.
"Stranger Than Fiction" was ass.
"Talladega Nights" was the very next film.

Stranger Than Fiction and Everything Must Go are the only two Farrell movies worth watching. Anything else and we're just discussing degrees of crap.

here we go again.....

:facepalm:

I love it when the "cool kids" like to be "different" and go against the grain of the popular vote.

I'm not trying to be a "cool kid". I actually don't like a lot of popular comedy. Can't stand Ferrell, Sandler, Farley... mostly don't like Steve Carrell or Jim Carrey. All except Farley have done at least a couple movies I enjoyed, but most were non-standard fare for them.

• Ferrell: Stranger Than Fiction, Everything Must Go
• Sandler: The Wedding Singer, Funny People, Reign Over Me, Punch Drunk Love
• Farley: .......
• Carrell: Crazy Stupid Love, Dan in Real Life
• Carrey: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Man on the Moon, Truman Show

I like Ferrell probably the least of all of them. He's the only one I'll actually leave the room for.

Why do highbrow people have a problem lowering themselves to laugh at lowbrow stuff?

It's not about "lowering" one's self. I just don't find it funny, never have. Humor is subjective, you know?
