Which Good Movie Have You Seen Recently?

[Bhaalizmo]

Hobo with a Shotgun.

Good old Rutger Hauer. He's still got it.

[Bhaalizmo]

Watching Gothika again today. This is a good movie.

[Archigeek]

Cabin in the Woods. Very creative take on your classic horror movie. Definitely some new twists... and about as much gore as I've ever seen in a movie. Some good humor too.

[Asha]

I was just coming to post the same thing.
I would go as far as to advise skipping this movie if you're a sensitive kind.
Unbelievable movie.

[Nilandia]

Agreed on Cabin in the Woods. Normally, I don't watch scary movies because I startle extremely easily. Joss Whedon and the group of friends going convinced me to give this one a try and I was very glad I did. Yes, it gets quite graphic on occasion, but the story was fantastic. Elevator bell dings will never be the same.

I kept expecting someone to run out in armor from one of the elevators screaming "Leroy Jenkins!".

Saw Horrible Bosses a week or so ago. Really, really funny.

I saw Office Space for the first time the other day. I am both ashamed and enlightened.

Fucking hilarious movie. I didn't even realize that was Colin Farrel until then credits...

[diethx]

Yeah, they did an amazing job making him look repulsive. I knew it was him, but it was quite the transformation.

[Nilandia]

Just got back from seeing The Avengers. Flipping amazing.

Stay through all of the credits, as always. There are multiple scenes.

Gretchen

[Gsgeek]

Watched both Tower Heist(with eddie murphy and ben stiller) and also Haywire(Gina carano). Both turned out a lot better than I thought they would be.

Im looking forward to avengers and also the new spider man(saw the preview on spider man and it looked pretty danm good, even with it being yet another rehash/restart to the franchise.)

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

Yeah, they did an amazing job making him look repulsive. I knew it was him, but it was quite the transformation.

It actually took me a moment to realize it was him, he was that gross.

Creeps me out all day, rolling around in his special secret chair!

Jennifer Aniston made an awesome batshitcrazy lady.

Attack The Block

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD0gm7dHKKc


From the producers of SHAUN OF THE DEAD and SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD comes ATTACK THE BLOCK, a fast funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a London housing estate into a sci-fi playground. A tower block into a fortress under siege. And teenage street kids into heroes. It's inner city versus outer space.
Original score composed by Basement Jaxx is awesome too;

Just saw Trollhunter on Netflix. Really fun movie.

Watched the Ghost Writer in a really dark creepy room last night. It was probably only good because I was in a dark creepy room.

[Archigeek]

Moonrise Kingdom. Great fun.

[Tisket]

I never saw the first Downey Sherlock but since the second one, Game of Shadows, just got released to On Demand, I decided to watch the first one. I enjoyed it immensely and we are going to watch the new one tonight.

Oh fuck yes. Saw this in the theater when it came out. My fiancée even liked it

Forgot this came out and you guys reminded me. Pretty damn good! Not all pretty like the big budget swirling silk flying masters kind of movies, which I do enjoy, but more dirty and bloody and human. The set up takes a little while but the payoff is worth it.

I think what was most interesting is the portrayal of the main antagonist and the outcome. Not what I have come to expect from movies of this genre.

SPOILERS

The cruelty the villain displayed had me convinced that he was tremendously evil but I did not expect it to end the way it did. Thinking back on it he was portrayed in the set up as showing some difficulty doing something that someone who was actually good at it would have done in one swipe. All the targets of his aggression may as well have been defenseless target dummies.

[Androidpk]

I watched it again last night with my brother. I love the part when Hirayama confronts the 4 samurai assassins, I might have actually shouted out fuck yeah!

Part of Drag Me to Hell (have the rest TiVoed). Standard jump and yell routine, but interspersed with some legitimately funny moments, including to my knowledge the first appearance in cinema of Chekhov's kitten, and Alison Lohman is cute.

Love Actually. What a great flick! Maybe I'm just a mushy girl, but it was inspiring.

Good movie!

I've got JCVD (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130988/) -- for some reason -- in my mailbox right now. I'm hoping it'll be as amusing as I want it to be.

Also looking forward to Taken 2... it's Liam Neeson (http://i.qkme.me/35ve84.jpg) versus THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD. Seriously, so the preview would have me believe.

[RSR]

Raid: The Redemption.

Holy shit what a terrifically brutal action movie. Subtitled but still some kick-ass action in it.

[iJin]

I am probably late on this but Lawless was actually a really fucking awesome, brutal movie. That, and Tom Hardy is always so saucy and yummy.

Raid: The Redemption.

Just watched the trailer. Looks almost identical to the premise of the new Dredd movie!

[Reliel]

If you want a really intense "Saw" type movie.

Vile. It's on netflix.

[4a6c1]

Me and the dude went to see RE: Retribution. The line for that was long so we did Bourne Legacy instead. 1) I forgot how excellent a Tony Gilroy movie can be. See also: Adrenaline. 2) Was that luzon ghetto in the chase scene?? <3 the phillipines

The movie also had some science subplot so if you like geek talk injected into your blockbusters, there's that. Classic ending of a boat sailing away into paradise, whoohoo.

[Latrinsorm]

Um spoiler alert? Now I know it doesn't end with an ice-9 catastrophe, thanks.

AntiChrist

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0870984/

I really enjoyed the artistic way in which this film was put together. It's a suspenseful drama with just a hint of horror, if only for the gore. Clearly this is a foreign film and you'll see why if you watch the unedited version. There is a little bit of penetration shown during the beautifully shot opening sequence of a slow mo love scene set to classical music. The two main characters (that never get named in the film) are played by Willam Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg. By the end of the movie you will have witnessed graphic mutilation and yet somehow it is still a stunningly well crafted and beautiful film that somehow seems to convey a positive message despite the brutality of the story. Certainly the most thought provoking film I've seen in a couple of years and I highly recommend you watch it, if you can get past the things you can't unsee, and believe me... you can't unsee them.

Hah. The best thing about the new dredd movie is Olivia Thrilby. Her background really tripped me up mentally. She's a shakespearean actress trained for the stage. I wonder why they picked her... Can't wait to see it!

I had the brilliant idea to watch this film at around 3 in the morning with a friend, directly after watching Eraserhead. (sidenote: I have a tradition of doing this sort of thing, and dragging other people along for the ride.)


MIND CANNOT BE UN-FUCKED.

Agreed though, the opening narrative is beautifully-shot... and it's certainly a thought-provoking film.

This! We loved it. I was worried it would be a little scary for the youngest but she adored it. Paranorman was really cute also.

[drigore]

Sinister. Barely bloody but suspenseful as hell with a few jumps. Very creepy flick, great soundtrack (not stupidly loud or overbearing for no reason), great camera shots, and I enjoy Ethan Hawke anyway.

[Archigeek]

Sucker Punch was rediculously bad. The idea that you are calling it a great movie is mind boggling to me. And while the new Dredd was bad, it wasn't nearly as bad as Sucker Punch. The only good parts about the new Dredd were the villianess, who was pretty good, and the use of super-slo-mo. That was very effective. Unfortunately the premise of the story was so shallow that it allowed virtually no room for character development or actual story.

On the other hand, Looper was pretty great.

Sucker Punch was rediculously bad. The idea that you are calling it a great movie is mind boggling to me.

It's not Oscar worthy by any stretch, but for what it was... basically a nerd's wet dream, it knocked it out of the park. Hot chicks with ninja skills, sci-fi/fantasy, good tracks, crazy effects, giant samurai robots, airships, c'mon.

I watched a few French movies on Netflix for extra credit.

Queen to Play - B+
Weird but enjoyable. All the random emoting and chauvinism made it very French. Made me want to pull out my chess set.

2 Days in Paris - A -
Also weird. Really great character progression. Hilarious jabs at both American and French culture. All the random emoting and rampant sexuality made it very French. Heh.

I've only seen the first half of the full cut of Red Cliff. There's a shorter version of it on Netflix instant streaming, but honestly there's just so much in the full cut that I don't know if the shorter version could do the story justice.

Argo was awesome. They did an amazing job of making the actors look like the people they were playing, just uncanny. Really well done.

In one of my weird "it's stupid late and I should be asleep, but I feel like watching a movie" moods the other night, so I opted for The Hunter on Netflix.

Just rented these three...

Snow White and the Huntsman...not horrible but, can't see why they are making a second one.

Prometheus...pretty boring, again, not sure why another is being made

The Avengers...loved it, just the kind of movie you want when you just want to be entertained and have a few laughs

[Androidpk]

Of course they're doing a sequel to Prometheus, it made a shitload of money and left plenty of room for another movie.

Saw Wreck-It Ralph last night with some friends. I liked it, it was fun naming all the characters from old games that popped up.

[Gsgeek]

Saw Skyfall this week, was pretty good. Not quite the hokey villians of yesteryear with connery and moore running the show, but a lot better writing, acting and directing now too.

Looking forward to seeing The man with the iron fists. Love me some kick ass kung fu movies, so to speak.

[Izalude]

A bit late on these two....

Hunger Games - Even though I didn't read the books until after the movie, I thought the movie was amazing.
Melancholia - SUCKED. Too long, way too drawn out. I couldn't wait for the planet to finally hit earth. The only saving grace was that Kirsten Dunst was topless twice.

[Androidpk]

Cloud Atlas. Loved it.

That. Cute, family-friendly movie that I found fun as an arcade-nostalgic adult, as well.

Cloud Atlas. Loved it.

I'm slowly growing more interested in seeing it, and have gotten great reports from friends... I was a little skeptical after the final Matrix movie (TL:DR version, didn't care for the second and third as much as the first movie), but I'm willing to take a chance on restoring some faith in the cooperative genius of the Wachowski, er... siblings.

Recommended, I take it?

[Androidpk]

It is certainly a strange movie but I loved it. I think it is one of those movies where you either love it or you hate, no in between. I saw it in an Imax theater and would definitely go back and see it again.The casting is strong and it's really interesting because most of them play multiple roles throughout the movie, anywhere from 2 to 6 roles each.

Skyfall. Twice. Because my boyfriend is obssessed with James Bond, spy novels, etc. I did very well not to emasculate his favorite superhero by pointing out that the wind sheer between two shanghai skyscrapers would obfuscate any prior measurements needed for sniping the dude.

There were some technical inconsistancies, but all in all it was still an excellent movie. For example, the room they use for the uber-bad guy's cell, that just happens to have under ground tunnels leaving it. Apparently checking under the grating isn't considered a good idea when you've already sprung for armed guards and a fancy glass room. Never mind even explaining how he overpowered the guards and got out of the room.

Roger Moore was on Howard Stern recently, good interview.

I liked Javier Bardem's intro scene and rat monologue

This was excellent, and he really does make a great bad guy.

[Latrinsorm]

Skyfall
I liked Javier Bardem's intro scene and rat monologueThis scene was unbelievable. It came a long way into the movie, after everyone had finished their popcorn and was wondering where the heck Javier Bardem was, and he could literally have walked out of the movie as soon as the scene was over and he would have earned his money.

I read once that Shakespeare designed his soliloquys around specific actors, this felt like a perfect example of that. Or the cinematic equivalent of throwing the ball at the rim and having Javier Bardem go get it, and him finishing so powerfully that the other team just forfeits and gives him a standing ovation for the rest of the game, and women in the first three rows get pregnant (and already-pregnant women have twins).

What was even more amazing was that after we are equal parts admiration for his acting ability and vague apprehension for his character's diabolical machinations, in the very next scene he is unrelentingly, gut churningly evil. No more marionetteer, no longer the indifferent mastermind, but a brutal psychopath, effortlessly penetrating Bond's armor of cynicism. (It was only slightly undermined by the inanity of MI6 showing up not 15 seconds after the woman was killed. Prostitute/slave, used as bait for murders, ambushed in the shower by a naked Bond because that wouldn't be traumatic at all, used as a pawn in horrific psychological warfare, and not quite saved in the nick of time. Depressing.)

With the whole set-up and the significant time devoted to M's inquisition and auld Scotland, Bardem was in what, a quarter of the movie? And he dominated. Much more impressive than his No Country performance, which was pretty impressive in its own right.

[4a6c1]

Well said. He was excellent.

After Skyfall I did watch Dr. No. That movie is endlessly fascinating. By some trick of the universe I went on to watch Enter The Dragon with Bruce Lee after Dr. No. The Villians are the same! Almost exactly. It's enough to make one want to produce a historical case study on hollywood villians and compare them to our modern day bad guys. I wonder if anyone has done that.

Labile means quick to change, usually used in the context of the phrase "emotionally labile," though certainly there are other types of lability.

Saw that recently also. There is a scene where they have to wait for an autopsy or something so Brad Pitt is trying to make himself comfortable and in doing so he moves a standing ashtray away from where he is going to lay his head. It made me glad that we don't have that shit stinking up every freaking place anymore.

And Loopers sucked. Really really badly.

[Jhynnifer]

Found a blue ray copy of American History X last night for $7.99 and got the boyfriend to watch it for the first time. Still a great movie.


Also watched The King's Speech recently, a reminder of how much I like Colin Firth.

Ugh. I've been more entertained by some people's posts here on the PC than forcing myself through Loopers.

The new Judge Dredd. Pretty f-ing cool. Extremely violent. Well done.

I wouldn't say the best movie I'd seen in a long time, but definitely the best Tarantino movie in a while.

[Geijon Khyree]

Looper (DVD), Red (Finally got around to seeing it), Dredd 3D (DVD), Django Unchained, and Lincoln are all good movies in the last 3 months. I saw The Impossible last night and it was excellent about a family in the big Tsunami.

[Archigeek]

The new Dredd movie is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The only thing of interest was the super-slow-mo. Bad acting and virtually no story. You know it's bad when you can comfortably say that Sly Stalone's version was better.

[Gsgeek]

Finally got a chance to see Red CLiff. Was pretty good. John Woo battle flick. Some fantastical scenes but still some very cool battles and army action scenes. Wasnt exactly House of Flying Daggers or Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon sort of movie(which are awesome in their own rights) but more of a period piece dealing with armies and leaders.

Although I don't mind Sly so much, in fact just watched Expendables 2 and it was very entertaining.

[Bhaalizmo]

The new Judge Dredd. Pretty f-ing cool. Extremely violent. Well done.

Agreed. I liked it and had no complaints.

On another note, I watched a movie called Bug last week. Pretty much a psychological thriller with a little bit of gore here and there, but what really sold this movie was the acting by Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon. Three thumbs up.

[Tisket]

Jesus....Taken 2...

Do not spend money on this movie. Half the movie is a car chase where the daughter who can't drive is driving and crying out every two seconds "I can't, daddy, I can't" and the father character responding over and over "yes, you can!" while shooting out a window. So lame.

I used to like Liam Neeson.

I concur. This sequel did a disservice to the original. So much poor writing in this movie. He allows his family to come to this dangerous country when he's an uber paranoid security guy? His daughter can't drive but drives pretty fucking awesome in a long chase? I can't remember the rest of the objections I had to the story but suffice to say that it was largely laughable, aside from the action which is supposed to be over the top. I still like Liam but I hope this writer gets gang raped.

Tai Chi Zero

Along the lines of Kung Fu Hustle, Kung Fu Panda, Jackie Chan's Drunken Master, Hero, and Crouching Tiger. Really fun movie. Almost like live action Final Fantasy except Chinese. Has subtitles and some of them flash by a little too quickly. But really beautiful movie all around. Sets, shots, costumes, CGI, action. Inventive, meta, entertaining. It is the first in a trilogy. Tai Chi Hero, the second, is supposed to have released last December but I haven't found a place to watch it yet.

Argo was awesome. They did an amazing job of making the actors look like the people they were playing, just uncanny. Really well done.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/13/world/meast/iran-argo-response/index.html?hpt=hp_t2


First, Iran said it would produce its own cinematic response to "Argo." Now, Tehran plans to sue Hollywood filmmakers who contribute to the production of such "anti-Iran" propaganda films.

"The Iranophobic American movie attempts to describe Iranians as overemotional, irrational, insane, and diabolical while at the same, the CIA agents are represented as heroically patriotic," it complained.

Oh geez...

Do the Iranians even watch Ahmadinejad at the UN?

I liked Battleship. At least the last 2/3rds, never seen the first.

[4a6c1]

I saw Identity Thief tonight with some friends. It was so incredibly stupid I have no words. I kept begging out to get on my phone where I would just go through my voicemail or map out the rest of the night. The people I went with enjoyed it immensely though so I pretty much just shut my mouth, which you all might have to do for a significant other or whatever. I would put it on the same footing as Jack and Jill in stupidity and funnyness. You can't really insult the movie without insulting the intelligence of the people who enjoy that kind of movie. Fair warning people!

Watched Django again. It really is quality.

I have yet to get through The Hobbit after trying twice. Its just too long and drawn out.

Silver Linings Playbook was pretty damn good. Also saw The Pianist for the first time (been on a WWII movie kick lately) and that was a powerful movie, very well done.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Very funny and touching

Just came back from The Great Gatsby. I was cautiously optimistic that Baz Luhrmann was directing. Fantastic sets and costumes, of course, and even some decent acting. Leo is no Robert Redford, but he did his damnedest and looked good doing it. Two thumbs up and I went in a biased critic.

Not ashamed to admit I liked Pitch Perfect. Stupid, funny, silly, good music, likable characters, music I am familiar with. My fav was the one who ate her twin in the womb.

Right after that, at 3am this morning, comes Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Another great flick. Probably Carry's best role.

[Lolleia]

I really enjoyed Pitch Perfect also, I just expected it to be more raunchy than it was.

[Leloo]

I know what the reviews say BUT... World War Z was fantastic. I went into it divorcing all thoughts of the book itself and went in thinking it was just a zombie movie with a similar title. Removing any expectation, I found the movie thrilling, believable and incredibly thrilling. It has been years before a movie made me jump in the theatre or sitting on the edge of my seat go "nonononononono don't go in there". So really, great movie.

So recently, I've been watching a ton of Netflix. There is a series called "Jack Taylor" which is amazingly awesome. It's considered a TV series, but it's really 5 movies based on a series of books. Definitely worth the watch.

Saw Monsters University, Lone Ranger and Now You See Me at the drive-in yesterday. Yes, they still exist!

Monsters University was fun, and funny. Didn't end how I expected, but it was good nonetheless. I haven't seen Monsters Inc and I didn't think I missed anything aside from one extremely minor thing.

Lone Ranger was so chock full of absurdities and anachronisms that it made my brain twitch. It took me a while to build up the suspension of disbelief, but once I allowed myself to go with it, it was enjoyable.

Now You See Me was visually slick, and the ending caught me unaware, but it never really grabbed me or got me involved with the plot.

Overall, I paid $3 to see 3 movies, the first two of which were worth it.

Agreed on Man of Steel, saw it despite the bad reviews and while I can't pinpoint exactly what it was I just didn't enjoy it. Think it was just too long.

also Headhunters (scandinavian thriller) & Painted Skin: The Resurrection (awesome visuals)

Saw Superman and Lone Ranger in the last week.

Both actually better than I thought they would be. Story wise Superman was stronger. Both were decent action flicks for the summer. No masterpieces by any stretch, but enjoyable enough to watch at least once.

Also saw the magic/illusion movie Now you see me. I enjoyed that as a chance of pace movie this summer. Some of the stunts were obviously unrealistic and hokey, but overall it had a couple aha moments to it.
