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?

Ender's Game - 3.5/5 Interesting story worth watching.
Tucker & Dale vs. Evil - 5/5 When a horror movie is really a comedy, or is it a comedy that's really a horror? Either way it was hilarious.
Teen flicks for the 2000s!
Just makes me wonder what my parents thought of all our 80s flicks (which I think was the true heyday of teen film!)
Well made documentary about the the tiny Alabama town that produced tons of hit records in the 60's and 70's.

Even better is "Twenty Feet from Stardom", also available on Netfflx streaming.
Also Odd Thomas 4/5 Had bit of Dead Like Me feel, but it kept my attention. Pieces fit together nicely at end with a twist.
We're the Millers - 4/5 - Pretty funny movie and entertaining. The ending was somewhat predictable but well worth watching.
The Wolverine - 4/5 - Somewhat disappointing but still good. With Wolverine I want action and this movie could have used a little more and slightly less character development.
R.I.P.D. - 4/5 - Considering I heard bad reviews of this movie I wasn't expecting much and was surprised I liked it. I will say Jeff Bridges should not do a Southern accent, this one wasn't as bad as True Grit, but it was bad.
Red 2 - 4/5 - Different from the first one. The first was more of an action movie, this was clearly a comedy with some action. I liked it.
Prisoners - 2.5/5 - Watchable but not great. Jake Gyllenhaal's character has to be the worst (Dirty Harry wannabe) cop ever.
The Counselor - 3.5/5 - The first half was really good, but the last half dragged a bit and lost me a little. The mastermind of the [spoiler]heist[/heist] was easily predictable.
Fast & Furious 6 - 4/5 - Good movie. This would be a great ending to the series as it wrapped up things very nicely and especially considering the death of Paul Walker, but unfortunately they are making a 7th movie.

while making it a tad difficult to watch with Charlie Hunnam's character doing a lot of the commentating reminding me too much of his attachment to his Jax character on SoA, I give it a 3.5/5.
Nothing more than the basic pregnant with the antichrist movie with a few "jump" scares.
Also uses the god awful found footage and security camera style.
1/5 at most.

Guess I'll have to wait til it hits Cinemax at the end of the month.

Is this based on the Odd Thomas series of books?
Not bad for what it is an Adam Sandler movie with lowbrow jokes,
What surprised me most is the amount of decent talent that agreed to join the cast.
2/5

Read them. The first was the one I least liked.
