Which Good Movie Have You Seen Recently?

[Allereli]

I was really sick the past week, sooooo:

The Green Mile
Sixteen Candles
The Goonies
American Pie 2

[Ashliana]

Saw "The Hurt Locker" yesterday. Liked it a lot.

[kookiegod]

My girlfriend took me to see "It's Complicated" over the weekend.

Great performance by Meryl Streep, average from Steve Martin.

Problem was, they didn't have a lot to work with in the material.

Reccomendation: DVD from NetFlix for a date night movie.

~Paul

[Fallen]

Basic Instinct. Never watched it from start to finish. Excellent movie.

[4a6c1]

Hamlet 2

wtf? I never heard anything about this movie but I was lolz through the whole thing.

Inventive. Funny/Stupid. Like Borat but in English and with scary underpriveleged kids doing talented things.

[Drisco]

Just watched Zombie Land and I'm sorry I ever doubted you guys.. It was awesome.

[Androidpk]

Not really a movie but the TV series Legend of the Seeker. I've never read the book series but this seems pretty entertaining so far.

[Gan]

Hurt Locker

[Marl]

Hurt Locker

was very good

[CrystalTears]

House Bunny

Sorry, I find the movie hilarious.

[Warriorbird]

North Face

[Cephalopod]

Hurt Locker

Watched this with the wife last night. Excellent movie.

If you (general you) haven't seen it already, I'd recommend watching the HBO miniseries 'Generation Kill' if you liked Hurt Locker.

[B4Hand]

I watched It's Complicated last night--and I love it. Very cute movie.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I watched The Last Castle again a few days ago.. very good movie.

[kiddpa]

Watching Band of Brothers again....for about the 20th time.

Preparing for "The Pacific" in March.

[Androidpk]

Generation Kill

Whopper jr!

[LMingrone]

I hope The Pacific is as good as BoB.

Short Circuit 1 & 2 are on now. Watching them. Love these movies.

[Allereli]

The Cassandra Crossing

We put it on because we thought Enemy at the Gates was coming on, but the listing was wrong. We got this gem instead: OJ Simpson, Ava Gardner, Sophia Loren, Martin Sheen and Burt Lancaster are all involved in a plot in which the military wants to keep a biological weapon made of bubonic plague secret. One of the infected gets onto a train and does all he can to spread the disease (it's hilarious how he coughs into food, hugs babies, sweats all over and attacks people). OJ Simpson appears to be a priest, and has this exchange (paraphrased):

Kid: Why does this [handkerchief] have a J on it if your name is Haley?

OJ: Why, it stands for Baby Jesus of course

[DCSL]

The Last Unicorn. Man, I still remember every word of every song on that thing.

[Nilandia]

Edward Scissorhands

First time to see it and I'm sad it took me so long. Fantastic movie.

unfortunately none of Kuyuk's truffles. We actually had nachos for dinner

On topic, the HBO movie that premiered tonight, Temple Grandin, was really good

I skipped Temple Grandin and watched 'The Invention of Lying' instead.

A few laughs, but overall just 'meh'. Probably doesn't belong in this thread, except I love Ricky Gervais.

[Showal]

I really liked The Invention of Lying. (I also really like Ricky Gervais)

[iJin]

The Collector.

And for those of you that liked Cabin Fever and Eli Roth hotness (although sadly Roth doesn't even have anything to do with the second movie), Cabin Fever 2 is coming out next week on DVD. I get to watch it today though, hurrah.

Moon - Sam Rockwell, Kevin Spacey

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/

The technical aspects of the film are amazing.

[Tisket]

Watched this with the wife last night. Excellent movie.

If you (general you) haven't seen it already, I'd recommend watching the HBO miniseries 'Generation Kill' if you liked Hurt Locker.

Watched Hurt Locker tonight. Great movie. But I do admit that I had a hard time believing a woman directed it. I just always associated realistic blood and guts war movies with male directors. That changed with this movie. I'm not sure that's such a good thing though :/

Don't be a pussy.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I saw the Hurt Locker recently, too. I was skeptical how much I'd like but Bigelow did an extremely good job balancing the tension out without cheapening the plot/characters. Excellent movie, overall.

[Tisket]

Maybe someone can clarify for me, what was up with that soccer kid? I mean they showed him dead but then he shows up again at the end of the movie. Did the bomb squad misidentify him as the body bomb kid in the building and if so why would James act unsurprised to see him again? I didn't get that part.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

May be some spoilers so I'm going to write the rest in white. HIGHLIGHT TO READ.

This was my take.. He formed a relationship with Beckham, so when he thought the boy that had the bomb implanted into him was Beckham, it made him irrational because he had this personal tie. Because of that he behaved recklessly later on (when they went out to hunt the insurgents after investigating post-explosion at a bombing site) and his team mate gets hurt.. the same guy that was afraid and who he said he'd protect. Then it turns out Beckham isn't dead, and comes up to him trying to sell videos.

BUT, in that time it's enough to drive home a point to the main character that feeling attached to anyone immediately around him was a huge risk. So he ignored the kid and went on his way- I think in his eyes, the fact that he didn't do that in the first place is why his buddy got messed up so he was trying to make right by not continuing that relationship/friendship and presumably not allowing any others to come up... it's safer to feel that sort of love/comfort for loved ones that are far away and out of harms way (i.e. his girlfriend and his son) and are unable to impact him day to day. Because he saw that body and at the time believed it was Beckham, I think for the main character it was easier to not show shock because for him, Beckham was already dead. I hope that makes sense.

That's probably way more than you wanted to know, LOL. Bottom line: I don't think Beckham dies, I think he just thinks he dies and thus has a lot of guilt when he realizes he was wrong.

[Tisket]

Guess that makes sense. I like movies that don't hand out answers but that was a bit too confusing I think.

[Allereli]

I noticed a nip slip in Moulin Rouge today that I hadn't noticed before

[Fallen]

Coraline. Not at all what I expected.

[Androidpk]

Solomon Kane. I liked it.

[LMingrone]

Stupid commercials during the the hockey game made me download Clash of the Titans. Then I remembered Jason and the Argonauts, and had to get that too.

[radamanthys]

The Legend of 1900

Interesting, imaginative. Guy is born on a cross-atlantic passenger ship in January 1900, never leaves. Piano prodigy.

I'm skeptical. I'm going to try it in 3D. Previews seem iffy so far though. Whatever, I'll bet it's awesome.

I'm skeptical. I'm going to try it in 3D. Previews seem iffy so far though. Whatever, I'll bet it's awesome.

Nah, I'm thinking it's gonna be an epic movie. I loved the old one when I saw it as a kid and to see it remade in awesome spfx is gonna be sick.

[LMingrone]

Yeah, it's one of the first movies I remember my dad making me watch.

[Drisco]

That's funny because my dad made me watch it too lol.

[Croda]

'An American In Paris'. I'm a pretty big Kelly fan anyway and after finally watching this one, I wasn't too disappointed to my surprise.. (how can you top singin' in the rain anyway?). There's this one dance number in the movie where he uses a newspaper as a prop, simply incredible.

[Allereli]

The Karate Kid

[kolsols]

last movie i saw was Avatar

[Drevihyin]

Lawrence of Arabia had 4 hours to burn.

[Allereli]

Touching the Void

[Androidpk]

Alice in Wonderland

[Croda]

The Misfits. I've seen it many times before but i popped out the ol' DVD because I was bored. Excellent, excellent movie, I tend to see something new every time I watch. It's Clark Gable AND Marilyn Monroe's last movie as well, highly recommended!

[Tisket]

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

If you like vampire flicks that are a little campy this is a good one.

[LMingrone]

Reggie Miller Vs. The Knicks. Awesome.

Best part is when Reggie gets picked up, and tells his dad "I scored 40 points." Sheryl joines them and says something like "I scored 105 points." It's on ESPN Sunday at 9PM, watch it!.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I saw Alice in Wonderland and it was fantastic. I just need to go see it in 3D now.

[Ker_Thwap]

Kung Fu Hustle, possibly the most realistic Kung Fu movie ever.

[DCSL]

Kung Fu Hustle, possibly the most realistic Kung Fu movie ever.

If you liked that, you should watch Kung Fu Mahjong. It features the "Fated Couple" of Kung Fu Hustle. Very funny.

[Drisco]

Kung Fu Panda was good too

[DCSL]

Shaolin Soccer is also awesome.

[Stanley Burrell]

I have traveled back from a future so far beyond your comprehension, that your nervous system would overload if you tried to understand its meaning.

I will tell you this:

Repo Men is an awesome movie.

[Cephalopod]

Saw The Informant! (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130080/) this weekend. It wasn't great, but it was amusing and better than I expected. The true story it's based on is one of those 'fact is stranger than fiction' instances.

[StrayRogue]

Shutter Island.

[Fallen]

I Come in Peace. If you love terrible, terrible 80's movies, you will love this film.

Anyone here seen "The Ghost Writer" yet? Was it ass? And if so, what kind of ass was it?

No, but I saw an awesome movie with a fat chick eating fast food.

Finally saw Precious tonight. Good movie, great performances, very depressing.

Clash of the Titans (old school version, of course) on TCM tonight. I forgot how much I loved this movie.

[Stanley Burrell]

Yeah, saw that, it was pretty good.

[DCSL]

Just saw Hot Tub Time Machine and it wasn't too bad, actually. I laughed a lot at several parts.

[Enitocin]

Hot Tub has seemed reeaaaalllyyyyyy sketch to me. It's getting good reviews though.. Worth seeing?

I did not pay money but I might have at least paid matinee for it. I am, of course, widely known to like stupid movies. I liked Strange Wilderness, for example. So take it for what it's worth.

[AestheticDeath]

Law Abiding Citizen was great
Up in the Air was meh
Gamer was good enough to watch once

I'm a total zombie movie fan. But I couldn't watch that movie. It was sooo bad.

Could also be because my netflix connection was terrible. :(

You can't watch the dubbed version. Watch the one with subtitles instead.

[Cephalopod]

I watched Dead Snow, with subtitles, a few months back on my iPod. It's hard to go wrong with that combination.

(As an aside, I don't think I've ever seen a movie where dubbing was preferable to subtitles.)

[Enitocin]

My friend actually bought the movie, so maybe I'll snag it from him sometime.

Ninja Assassin. Not much of a story but worth it for the fight scenes and effects.

The whole gold watch sequence is pure badass.

Took my boys to see it, it was their first movie in a movie theatre. Watched it in iMAX 3D they were grabbing at shit as it flew by, laughing, totally into it. Very awesome.

[4a6c1]

Ok. I saw this trippy ass movie that was about a guy who wanted to adopt a baby from China but he sold mattresses and got mixed up with a girl who's dad was the dad/husband from Roseanne and the dwarf from LOTR kept jumping out of places and beating him up until the end when you realize he has severe psychosis from years of heavy schroom use but I still thought it was sweet when he finally got his daughter.

The name of the movie was an adjective and I CANT REMEMBER IT NOW. But it was a good movie. For an indy movie.

Kick Ass was awesome. The violence was so amazing that it left my fellow movie-goers shell shocked. I think they were also uncomfortable with Hit Girl, but I liked it. Violence amongst adults is so overdone.

I saw something on E! this weekend as I was flipping channels talking about the controversy of 'Hit Girl'. In the captions/titles on the bottom of the screen, the movie was listed as 'Kiss-Ass' for about 10 minutes.

Glad this is good. I'll pirate it soon.

Kick Ass was indeed fantastic.

Finally got around to watching The Hurt Locker. No wonder it won so many awards. Great movie.

"With no power, comes no responsibility"

[Bobmuhthol]

Watched Ninja Assassin, Leap Year, The Hurt Locker, and House Broken over the last few days.

Ninja Assassin was fucking great. Met and exceeded expectations. Obviously not revolutionary but it's another Shoot 'Em Up type movie.

Leap Year was worth watching if only because I am weird and think Amy Adams is attractive. Not a bad movie but not really impressive.

The Hurt Locker I didn't really get into very much. Good technical work but I wasn't attached to it so it doesn't go beyond just being a movie for me.

Don't watch House Broken.

[StrayRogue]

Note to all: If you're going to see Iron Man 2, wait around until AFTER the end credits (again).

Saw the new Nightmare on Elm Street. Loved it. Jackie Earle Haley might as well have been born for the role. It's different than Robert Englund's Krueger so it doesn't feel like a cheap copy. It was made all the better by two teenage girls sitting in front of me. Real screamers, I swear. They freaked over the slightest thing. I love audiences like that in horror movies.

[Lumi]

Just saw A-Team. It was brilliant. I was so hoping it would be good, and fearing it would be awful, and it exceeded my hopes. Very fun flick.

[SHAFT]

Splice is an interesting movie. One of the more original horror movies of late. There are some moments that definitely have you twisting in your seat. I liked it

[Asha]

Note to all: If you're going to see Iron Man 2, wait around until AFTER the end credits (again).

Only really appeals to those who'd know to stay after the credits, already.
The first Iron Man, I was the only person who knew to stay till after the credits left in the theatre. Was kinda uncomfortable with them all thinking I'm asleep with my eyes open or something.

[Back]

The Book of Eli. Outstanding.

People who liked Mad Max and Fallout 3 will love this movie.

[Marl]

yep book of eli was pretty good, much better than the road imo as far as post apocolypse movies

[Lumi]

Book of Eli was fantastic.

[Bobmuhthol]

Cop Out, Repo Men, Shutter Island.

NOT The Box or The Bounty Hunter omg.

And +1 for A-Team, forgot about that.

Oh and I recently watched Youth in Revolt, She's Out of My League, and Hot Tub Time Machine. The first two fell short for me but HTTM was great.

Winter's Bone.

A movie that, when you get to the end you aren't even sure if you liked it or not, but you did... it just creeped you out a little. Very good portrayal of the rural poor that doesn't over-use the crutches of incest, missing teeth and excessive accents. Good story, acting, directing, cinematography... good movie.

I felt book of eli was actually kind of boring. Its two hours of denzel walking through the desert, and oh yeah, a couple of fight scenes. Nice little twist at the end, but all in all the trailers led me to expect some sort of biblical epic about the struggle between good and evil... which it totally wasn't.

[Methais]

Predators.

Dude... thats exactly what it was. Gary Oldman’s character knew that if he had the Bible he could control everyone with it. Denzel knew he had to protect it from being used that way... that it was a book for everyone. From the ashes of civilization the first book they reprinted was the first book ever mass produced by mankind.

The fucking shit is deep!

Dude, I got it. I understood all the concepts represented, but honestly, it was one old man chasing another old man through the desert. It was not epic, as I was led to believe it would be. Not to mention giving the book to the "good guys" doesn't mean that people would be any less controlled by corrupt interpreters of said book that was mass produced. The whole thing was just plain stupid.

Predators was a pretty decent flick but I wish the non-human predators had more screen time.

I really want to see Micmacs! Saw a preview for it in NYC a couple months ago and it looked weirdly cool. I think it's gone now, though :(

Also saw Despicable Me and loved it. I want minions.

I went to see Predators last night with friends. It was pretty cool. Not super, "OMFGGODSOAWESOME" cool, but close enough. It was exactly what I needed to erase the scene of Adrien Brody having sex with an alien in Splice.

Just watched Creation last night... Decent flick. Primarily about Darwin's family life and his struggles reconciling faith and science.

I hate when people seem so much like myself. Last movie I watched (besides Inception) was Creation also.

Did your wife compare you to Charles Darwin after seeing it? Mine did. She said "He reminds me of you"... a statement which made me cringe with its total incorrectness. If anything I remind her of him, and not even him, but a fictional representation of him... and sure, we share a lot of the same ideas, but mostly because he came up with them first, and I read them.

It was a struggle not to call her retarded.

Did your wife compare you to Charles Darwin after seeing it? Mine did. She said "He reminds me of you"... a statement which made me cringe with its total incorrectness. If anything I remind her of him, and not even him, but a fictional representation of him... and sure, we share a lot of the same ideas, but mostly because he came up with them first, and I read them.

It was a struggle not to call her retarded.

Lol, you're awesome. Luckily mine isn't religious at all, and we were on the same side. But I love to argue and pissed her off somehow....women, whatcha gonna do?

I saw A-Team a few weeks ago. Fuuuunn movie. Not *AMAZING*, but definitely worth seeing on the big screen.
Liam Neeson.

I saw "The Road" over the weekend. A very good movie I thought.

^ I liked The Road, watched that one last week.

Also saw Book of Eli & Shutter Island recently.
Despite the bad reviews on Shutter Island, I really liked it. The psychology was interesting and no matter how much fun people like to pick at Leonardo Dicaprio, I think he's a good actor.
Book of Eli was very good too, I like the surprising twists in movies.


Also watched The Crazies the other night. Did not care for that one.

[Jorddyn]

I watched Outsourced ( :heart: insta-Netflix) - predictable but cute.

I also watched Being John Malkovich. The story was beyond odd, the ending made no sense, but getting to watch John Malkovich dance around in a sheet was hilarious.

Yea, I did.

I didn't love it, but I definitely liked it. Like I said - the ending just didn't make any sense to me, especially how the two women were so madly in love.

I thought this was a dog. The begining and end were decent (the end more so) but the middle just felt weak. Not so much the actors, but I think the script was probably the cause.

We went to Sorcerer's Apprentice and were pleasantly surprised. Damned funny and good fun. We want to see Inception and A-Team next.

This is precisely how I felt about The Sorcerer's Apprentice. I went in expecting crap but hoping to at least enjoy the dancing mops scene, but by the end I was actually very pleasantly surprised. It's not going to win any Oscars, but it was certainly worth the time and money my girlfriend and I spent on it in the theatre.

I'm hoping to see Inception this week with my brother. I think I've already mentioned my thoughts on the A-Team in this thread :D

Hot Tub Time Machine.


Fucking Masterpiece. I love this movie so much. It's the best stupid movie since Napolean Dynamite.

[Cephalopod]

You know, I was totally unimpressed by Hot Tub Time Machine, and I love stupid movies. It had a few funny moments, but... meh.

On that note, I think I need to watch the last 30 minutes of Pineapple Express again right now.

[Warriorbird]

Inception.

[SHAFT]

I went to see Predators last night with friends. It was pretty cool. Not super, "OMFGGODSOAWESOME" cool, but close enough. It was exactly what I needed to erase the scene of Adrien Brody having sex with an alien in Splice.

That was unexpected during Splice. Did not expect that.

Just finished watching Shutter Island.

Saw Hurt Locker last night. Pretty good.

The Losers was more good than bad. It opened up great but ended up a bit more style than substance. Still, watchable. I forget the actresses name but she was hot.

I saw Salt a couple of nights ago. Cannot wait for the sequel, if there is one. I will pretend there is.

I liked it. I didn't think it was epic or Oscar-worthy, but it was good.

I liked it at first, it was entertaining enough, but.. then I started thinking about it, it was really dumb. It just had some neat explosions in it, but... it just didn't feel like there was really any struggle or humanity in the movie. It was just "hey, here's this badass, watch him do badass things". I mean, I'm all for "Project badass", but they shouldn't try to pretend it's some great feat of cinema.

It's been a while but if I recall they did show how it effected him. There wasn't anything over dramatic (the drinking scene, some visceral reactions to child deaths, the ending) but to me it felt like the Iraq War version of the Vietnam vets that spent so long in the jungle in fucked up situations that when it was time to go home they didn't know how to live anymore.

I realize this is about movies, but since I don't see a thread for TV... Archer is hilarious, definitely worth streaming on hulu or netflix.

Great character development, great storyline, plausible plot... it was all very well laid out and filmed nicely too. I recommend it.

Serenity was on Sci-Fi the other night and I begged to watch it. But no. We watched dirty jobs instead.

Was pissed. I love that movie. I actually watched the movie before the series, but it only made me angrier when I watched the series and 14 episodes in it was over.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Oh, it's also entirely in subtitles. Forgot to mention that.

Children of Men was excellent, but I love Michael Caine, so I could be biased...

[BriarFox]

"Kick-Ass" - Bloody, violent, touching, and incredibly good, despite a chaotic mix of the silly and the serious. Like "Batman Begins" meets "Superbad."

"Hot Tub Time Machine" - It has boobs, it's somewhat funny, but it's not very good.

"Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief" - A condensed and more serious version of the book, though the acting is sub-par. Some nice effects.

"Robin Hood" - surprisingly true to its medieval roots in some ways, it updates the Robin Hood character to be a champion of democratic republicanism and plays fast and loose with 13th-century history.

"Cop-Out" - Kevin Smith (dir.), Bruce Willis, and Tracy Morgan don't quite manage to produce a new "Lethal Weapon."

"Inglurious Basterds" - A surprising role for Brad Pitt, and an excellent movie. Great acting, intense plot.

[Sylvan Dreams]

Edge of Darkness. Sad ending but a good flick.

[iJin]

I love Inglorious Basterds. One of my top 5 films.

Has no one seen Scott Pilgrim yet? I've been forced to delay until tomorrow night, but I already know it needs to be mentioned in this thread.

Moon. Its actually entertaining. Sam Rockwell does a great job. The guy can act.

Date Night. I laughed more at the end credits than the actual movie.

Repo Men. Its running in the backgorund. It started off cool but now its all over the place. Too much.

Seen it, I don't want to say too much to color your view of it. It is totally fucking fun!

[Gsgeek]

Yeah I got to agree, Scott Pilgrim was hilarious, way over the top, but obviously done that way and to good affect. I'd recommend seeing it.

I also saw the expendables too, was ok but wasnt quite as good as the reviews were saying it was I thought. Still worth seeing at least once probably.

[Celephais]

Date Night. I laughed more at the end credits than the actual movie.

Seriously? You posted this int he good movie thread? I saw this movie (a friend of mine burned me a disc w/ something else and he threw it on there, for some reason I trusted him). It was awful from start to finish. I don't even remember if I sat through the credits (I don't think I did), but you can't say the movie was good if all the enjoyment came from the credits (outtakes?)

It. Sucked. Balls.

I finally saw this and really enjoyed it. Stallone was great. Statham was sexeh like usual...and it was just very action packed throughout the whole movie. Had a funny bit with Arnold Schwarzenegger in it too.

Dude, Salt was a great movie. You know what else is a great movie? The Runaways. You know what else rules harder? Inglorious Basterds. I can never get enough of that movie.

I went and saw Machete again because a couple of my high school buddies were extras and I did not notice the first time. Plus, it was awesome.

[Paradii]

Just saw Get Low. It was worth the price of admission.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

Went and saw The Town tonight.. I thoroughly enjoyed it.. my residence in and love for Boston and surrounding neighborhoods, cinematics wise, also came into play. Chase scene through the North End into Charlestown was superb.

[Gelston]

I just saw Robin Hood on my new LED TV. It was amazing. Cate Blanchett has white heads. :(

[Lumi]

Salt was made of fail. Seriously, there was nothing good about that movie.

Machete was hilarious. It knew exactly what it was and did it well.

The new Resident Evil is also garbage, even by RE standards. Paul Anderson needs to DIAF (wtf is Milla Jovovich doing with him? :()

The big surprise for me recently was Takers. I expected it to be a dumb popcorn heist flick, but it was actually well written and well acted (with one exception, imho). In particular, my girlfriend and I were both surprised by Paul Walker and Hayden Christensen, whom I normally find reliable for uninspiring performances. They turned out to be two of the best parts of the film.

If you've ever seen The Italian Job, it's going to seem very familiar; it's really, really blatant where they're ripping it off (even going so far as to explicitly reference this fact in the movie itself). But even having seen TIJ before, I really enjoyed this movie too.

Finally saw The Blind Side on Friday. It just reinforced all my crazy arguments subject: adoption > breeding.

What's worth getting out of the red box rental machines at the moment if anyone knows?

I only get to watch tv at night and would like to rent some of those fuckers.

I just saw the newest Rambo movie this weekend. Not exactly "new" anymore, but I enjoyed it much more than I expected.
