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
We caught 21 jumpstreet on dish the other night. Hilarious! I love Jonah Hill, and much to my surprise, my wife was laughing like a maniac. Good stuff.
Watched The Equalizer, was very disappointed in this movie. Had very little resemblance to the TV series and turned it off half way through because it was so bad. Very surprising for a movie with Denzel Washington.
We saw Left Behind with Nicolas Cage. The film was pretty good even though it seemed to me that it had to do more with surviving the plane crash vs the apocalypse.
Also saw No Good Deed. It was much better than expected.
Rented "Cuban Fury" on bluray from Netflix. A rather enjoyable and silly, if not entirely predictable movie starring Nick Frost and Rashida Jones. 3/5 stars
Haven't watched it yet but just picked up Gone Girl. I've really been looking forward to it and wanted to catch it at the theater. Have yet to hear or read a bad review.
The Equalizer. Robert (Denzel) seem genuinely annoyed it took him 19 seconds to kill the first 5 guys instead of 16 seconds. Oh and just once I want to see a Russian mafia or Japanese yakusa take off their shirts and have nothing but Saturday morning cartoon figures for tattoos.
Watched "No Good Deed" and "As Above, Same as Below"
Both decent films.
"As Above, Same as Below" was much more interesting than I expected. I had thought it was just a typical horror flick, it had a much more in-depth storyline but some great creepy horror moments.
Rented "The Skeleton Twins" on bluray from Netflix. Slightly depressing and dark movie with just enough comedy to make it very enjoyable. Well worth renting. 5/5 stars
90% of the movies I do are all studio copies, but since Fox and a few other studios titles are hard to come by I supplement sometime so it's not that bad
In recognition of it being snubbed by the Oscars, I watched "The Lego Movie" on bluray last night. How this wonderful movie was not nominated is just beyond me.
Peter Jacksons King King. One of my favorites, ever. Love the t-Rex battle.
Prometheus was yesterday. Soundtrack is cool, but I forgot how terrible a movie it is. Potential not realized.
Whoa! If that one made you jump, it may be too scary for me.
Still, I'll have to give it a try. I just placed an order for the disc.
How wide would you estimate the Popcorn Shower radius during the jump-and-scream scenes for this one? I'm guessing 3 seats in each direction, maybe even 4. I pity the fools that sit anywhere near me during this one.
I watched Fury and Lucy. Both good movies. Really enjoyed Fury.
