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
Saw today Shartopus vs Pteracuda, The Impossible and Robocob remake.
Sharktopus vs Pteracuda was cheesy as you would expect. The Impossible was my third time watching and it's always enjoyable. Robocop had great action but a one time see for me.
We watched The Terminal on Saturday night. For some reason I didn't realize it was made in 2004 -- I thought it was much newer. Either way, a somewhat entertaining but slow show. We liked it all right, but it's not my cup of tea I guess.
Wife and I recently enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy.
Though I admit that if this were not a True Story, I might have trouble believing a couple of things.
We plan on buying the disc when it is released.
Watched The Double tonight and was very disappointed. I normally enjoy movies that are a little off the beat and path but this was beyond that. Just artistic nonsense IMO!
Just watched Oblivion for first time on the big screen in the HT. Wow. What magic that displays on 110" projector compared to the 55" tv. Wonderful imagery and great audio all the way through. Especially loved the broken moon images. Excellent LFE also in many of the flight and landing scenes. As a movie a great storyline as well. 9.5/10
WOW, 110", which projector do you have? I agree great movie/storyline, and LFE as well. I am getting my mount this weekend, as I just put up a 106" screen, to show with my Optoma HD25-LV. Hope to view Friday night.
Just finished watching Draft Day and if you're a fan of football this is a must see. I think this movie did an excellent job of giving us a peek at the complexities involved with the draft process. I'm a huge draft geek so this was a very entertaining watch for me.
Watched Blue Ruin. Didn't know what to expect. It had me gripping the chair, holding my breath and eagerly anticipating had would happen next. I give 6/10.
Just finished watching Oculus. The film was good with quite a few jump moments. It also had a good storyline.
Makes you want to avoid looking into mirrors.

Nice!
I watched pt 1 of Houdini(Adrien Brody), on history channel. If even a little of this presentation is based in reality, then his life was far more interesting than I knew. ...magic of tv?
Desolation of Smaug. First movie viewed as a family after adding 2 recliners and re running YPAO. It left the subs hotter than I like but it felt just about right. The SQ wasn't quite as good as the first time around but the PQ was great. I think they used a plastic leaf (Bilbo kills the giant centipede?? and reaches down for the ring).
Need for Speed tomorrow.
Feel let down with the Desolation of Smaug...just didn't do anything for me in horizontal sound field....Now you will enjoy NFS, as that will sound hitting all your speakers, and the LFE, great!
I started re-watching the Underworld movies a few nights ago. I sure do enjoy watching Kate Beckinsale run around in shiny black tight fitting outfits. Rona Mitra is easy on the eyes as well. I always thought Rona should have played Lara Croft.
Watched The Amazing Spiderman 2 and Sabotage. Didn't care much for the Amazing Spiderman 2, thought the plot was weak and the CGI not so great. Sabotage was a pleasant suprise. Didn't expect much knowing it was an Arnold flick but they cast him age appropriate and properly in the role. Great action and a pleasant twist in the end.
I watched Winter's Tale last night with the wife. I wish I could get those two hours back. Even wife agreed that it is a weak movie.
I will never know how the director thought it was a good idea to have Will Smith in that movie.
Wife and I saw this awhile back and she loved it and I liked it. I can agree with your thought on Will Smith being in the movie.
Its like the Wild, Wild West meets Winters Tale.
National treasure 2. Fun blast through history. (Kind of lol)
Tonight, S.W.A.T.
