Thread: last movie you saw - and what did you think of it?

Dumplings

Mmm I know what I'm getting next time I go to the Wok 'N Roll!

Tron. It kept me entertained, which is something that Inception failed to do. Not a great movie, but not a complete flop either.

Slaughter...yes...my blacksploitation marathon continues. This movie had everything. Good music, bad ass main character, car chase ending in an explosion, fight scene ending up where both guys fall into a pool and a roof top fight where someone gets thrown right into the ventilation. Also the opening theme's first notes are the same used in Inglourious Basterds when the name "Hugo Stiglitz" appears. So it's a good film for any Terantino fan who wants to see what helped him get a little splash of inspiration.

The Social Network - a bit long but I liked it. :3

lost boys the thirst [C-]
i laughed twice, and i'm pretty much sure that was an accident

The Black Gestapo- I give it a 2 out of five on the blaxploitation meter. I mean it had the car falling off the side of a clif, random nudity, and poorly crafted fight scenes...but man, the story just bogged way down, and the music was horrible for the most part. The best parts of the movie was probably noticing the finger at the corner of the lens, and the last scene when some guy gets shot in a pool, dies, and doesn't bleed a drop of blood.

Hmm... Resident Evil: Afterlife. Not bad for a video game flick.

Last five movies:

Jackass 3D - I hate 3D films because they are either done super poorly in the effects or just distracting, but this movie managed to use it in a great way. Along with a super fast camera to slow down the shots, the stunts looked extremely good. I hope it's the last they do though.

Social Network - While a bit meandering, the movie was well acted, well paced, and well shot. The actors were completely different people in their roles, and they did a great job of presenting the background behind a social phenomena.

Paranormal Activity 2 - I loved the first film because it was more like an Asian horror film over the senseless American slashers where it's less about plot and all about gore. Those bore me. PA2 decided that instead of going the same "new territory" route that the first one did, it would go along the EXACT same path. The movie was boring, unoriginal, and ill-conceived. I left extremely unsatisfied. To prove that the audience in the theater were new fans who never saw the first film, after the movie, literally no one moved waiting for credits.

Frailty - Saw this one before, and while a complete popcorn flick, I really enjoy the development, pacing, and character dynamic. It's definitely worth a viewing.

From Hell - Johnny Depp stars as an investigator for the Jack the Ripper case in a period piece in England. Once again, this is a pretty great movie that was overlooked like Frailty. It proves a really interesting suggestion for who was Jack the Ripper, which was never solved.

Has anyone here seen The Room? I haven't yet, but I've heard what my friends have to say. It's one of the worst movies ever, and that makes it all the more hilarious.

Watch "The Room" with RiffTrax. I use it to watch movies I couldn't normally tolerate (Avatar, Transformers[I actually didn't make it through], and the Twilight series). REALLY hilarious.

I watched 'The Trap.' That Serbian film. It is the feel good movie of the decade, I think.

I saw Red last weekend. It was pretty good, it had a good combination of an interesting storyline, some good comedy, and just straight action. I'd reccomend it.

I saw RED last week, and it was better than I expected: a solid action flick not taking itself too seriously.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World

Extremely funny movie. Very nerdy at the same time very fast paced, though not a short movie by any means. I found it very entertaining and would definitely recommend it to anybody who's just a little into games.

Ironman 2: Seemed like they just used this movie for Avenger filler. It was okay, but not better than the first.
Predators: Liked it. It would be interesting to see a sequel with the survivors.
Prince of Persia: Didn't play the newer version of the game (just the 16bit), so I can't compare it to the movie, but it was okay.
Robinhood (Ridley Scott verson) A lot better than what all the reviews said. I don't know what kind of movie they were expecting.
Jonah Hex: Decent cowboy movie for people who don't like cowboy movies.

Then of course, all of these old halloween b movies that aren't really worth mentioning.

The trailers made Jonah Hex look like it was going to be an 'OMG Megan Fox I hope we see her panties and some big explosions and then her boobs!' thing. So it was better than that, at least? (Though I do like cowboy movies, sometimes.)

Like I said broski, decent cowboy movie for people who don't like cowboy movies. There was some cleavage, but nothing jaw dropping.

Oh, okay. As long as it wasn't just an excuse for sex scenes with M. Fox, I may watch it one night on cable. The Prince of Persia movie was not at all like the titular game's plot, but there were many subtle references to the game. But even for fans, yeah, not that fantastic. Better than Clash of the Titans, though. Anyone know if there is going to be a sequel to the Ridley Scott Robin Hood?

I'm not sure there will be one...I don't think it did that good in the box offices. Ironman was out around that time. Also, to keep it on topic, I'm watching Unthinkable again. Pretty good movie.

Hereafter-
the beginning was actually pretty good, it made me think that it was going to be a good movie..
but the rest of it was just boring and pointless! Not to mention it dragged on for like 2 hours..
I really don't recommend seeing this... it was a waste of money.

Pink Panther 2 - stayed through the first quarter then left the living room...
Painted Veil - amazing movie, Edward Norton was hot as usual. xD

I totally agree with this review.. I was disappointed in this movie.

I did rent Repo Men and it was actually pretty good!
.

Inception..lmao. AWESOME!

Sorte Kugler ("Black Balls" in Danish) - Again. I've watched it countless times now. I just absolutely love the way it's advertised as a generic comedy some guys life, and then it just twists and turns into something really really dramatic and sad.

Another one, I rewatched Inception, and it's still as awesome as always.
