A "Hey I just watched a movie" thread

One of the other forums I go to has one of these threads and I've been turned on to some good movies that other regulars just watched. I was kind of surprised not to see a similar thread here (at least not that I could find.)
I just rewatched "Kinamand" - a cute drama about a Danish plumber who gets involved in an arranged marriage with a Chinese illegal. Good stuff (Netflix instant.)
So what have you folks watched recently?

You're on! And extra points for Bourne. The first one is one of my all time favorite movies.
Surf's Up - Cute and funny especially when you get the inside jokes but quickly wore thin.
The Truth About Emanuel - Critics panned it and audiences didn't seem to care for it either but I loved it. Like an English language version of a foreign film - in fact - the critics would've felt differently if it was a foreign film. Basically, two strangers are drawn together through grief over their separate mysterious experiences with loss.
All is Lost - Robert Redford certainly was in this film with no dialogue or other actors. If you loved watching Tom Hanks in Castaway then you'll probably love this. Unbelievably boring with predictable ending.
Pink: Truth About Love Tour Live from Melbourne - Wonderful. Both the performance and backstage footage.

Excellent movie, on Netflix so go watch it. Two kids befriend a stranger on an island on the Mississippi River, mystery and adventure follows. I wanted to be like those kids when I was a kid but probably good thing I wasn't. Just watch it, seriously.
The Jungle Book - 8/10
The bear necessities!
We Are What We Are - 6.5/10
Meh. Family with an old disturbing tradition.
The Last Airbender - 6/10
Went into with movie with super low expectations because I like to hate on M Night movies but it was ok, if you ignore the crappy dialog and the crappy narration. I haven't seen the animated series so that probably made it bearable. If I had, I'd probably have different expectations.
42 - Not that into sports movies, but this wasn't bad.
Now You See Me - Started out interesting then kind of lost me in the middle. The ending both made sense and didn't make sense at the same time. I got why they did what they did, but how they managed to pull it off was a bit unbelievable.
The Heat - I do want a refrigerator like the one in the movie.
Man of Steel - What a major disappointment, I was extremely excited and hoping for a great Superman movie. Sad to say this made Superman Returns look like a masterpiece. Highlights include bad writing, bad acting (with the exception of Laurence Fishburne), major plot holes, too long, and really bad & overused CGI. To me the Superman character was a bigger jerk than Zod (the bad guy) and that's just wrong.

I like The Heat. Man of Steel was a 6.5/10. didnt like 42 or Now you See me.
This is 40 was also pretty funny.

Ginger Snaps Back - Average. Love the saracasm. Love that Mr. Argent from Teen Wolf is in it. Great werewolf trivia.
Thor: The Dark World - Very good. Great special effects and good laughs.
