I thought this might be a fun ongoing thread. You get to see what others are watching and may find a new movie for your collection. New, old, color, B&W, foreign, concert or whatever...its all good.
I'll start with an excellent animated flick with rich detail and a good soundtrack: Tim Burton's Nine
Ok, I'm in. My wife and I play a game we call pick three. She picks three movies and of those I pick the one that we will watch. The three that she picked were The Avengers, Inglurious Basterds, and The Dark Knight Rises. I chose The Dark Knight Rises.
I started Battlestar Galactica Season 1 (2004 series) last night. For whatever reason I never watched the new series so I thought it would be fun to start it.
Be careful with that show. I was making fun of my friend for watching it not too long ago. He convinced me to give it a chance. I had to request off work to get through a couple of the seasons.
I tried to watch Flight, but apparently I got a bad blu ray disc. Would not play in my Oppo 93 or Sony blu ray changer. Getting a replacement from Amazon.
Watched "Water for Elephants". Hal Holbrook would have stolen the show were it not for his limited parts at the beginning and end. Good cinematography, casting, and acting but there were some weak points to the plot (too much like the "good" guy stealing the "bad" guys wife and the bad guy wasn't bad enough - he even had a good side at times), and the ending was just a bit flat, but ok movie.
Watched Perks of Being a Wallflower last night. Good movie. Some classic scenes. Love Emma Watson dancing to Come On Eileen. Takes me back in time as I used to live in Pittsburgh. My teenage girls love the book and the movie.
I watched 'Contact' directed by Robert Zemeckis. I love that film. Still stands today as a great example of 'invisible' special effects. Also one of the best intros to a movie ever. Stonking audio.

Red Planet. Came out in 2000. Starring Val Kilmer. It was ok... I'm trying to figure out if it was real good or not. My Wife liked it. It's a SciFi movie about Mars...
Tonight my grandson (10) picked John Carter. The movie tanked at the box office but I found it entertaining. Disney gambled on two unknown actors for the lead roles. I think the movie would have done a lot better with a leading man movie goers knew. Still a fun space tale.

We watched that two weeks ago. Entertaining certainly. My Wife is a huge SciFi reader, and knew this character from Her past reading. She watched it twice.
We enjoy movies without 'Stars' cast in them. Sometimes they are a flop, other times they are done wonderfully.
Just watched Skyfall and I must say what a great movie. This is one of those movies that makes the projection home theater all worth it. Fantastic cinema, awesome soundtrack and a true theater experience.
Watched Transformers 2 last night. Oh dear what a load of rubbish that was. I heard bad reviews about it but i thought i'd give it a go anyway.What a waste of a fiver!!!!
I watched this one last might as well. It definitely fell short of the first one - to me, this one was more of a show off Megan Fox movie - I actually got tired of seeing her........
That was a good one. They're not the same genre but I found Hanna to be fun to watch in a similar way that Tron was so much fun. They're both kind of like extended, funky-cool music videos in a way.
Clash of the Titans - nice demigod battles the bad guys. Nice flick and not as graphic or brutal as Immortals. I did notice Apollo in this movie is Zeus in the other. Also the girl Lo in this one is also the princess in Prince of Persia.
Luther - check out Wrath of the Titans if you get a chance - the ending has some great LFE and there is a sequence that I think has really fantastic color combinations that really stand out.
