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?

Chris Pratt is pretty to look at but his acting skills are abysmal. Bryce Howard was outstanding in The Help but her character in Jurassic World was the equivalent of Jessica Rabbit.
Was funny to see the T Rex walking around a city.
Dark themed with an element of conspiracy/hacking going on. Loved it, looking forward to the next.
Free on hulu or youtube. USA put it out free to watch the Pilot.

- this gets a 5/5. Outstanding performance by Jake Gyllenhaal. He looks really creepy in his role and you will despise him by the end.I feel like there is a lot of truth in the movie as to how the media pushes for more gory footage of crimes and murders to get more ratings. It's on Netflix btw.
Excellent movie. I would recommend people of all ages watch it. Funny and touching.
definitely has some real life lessons in it. ie: it's okay to be sad.
If you don't know how the final fight will end within the first 30 or so minutes of the movie, you probably don't watch enough movies. Maybe that's a good thing.
Kumiko The Treasure Hunter - A shy Japanese woman finds a VHS copy of Fargo and thinks the digging up a suitcase of cash out of the snow part is real and travels to America to do it to make her dreams come true. Slow but interesting, somewhat funny in an understated, quirky, sad way. Does a good job of combining depression and hope.
Inside Out - Some complicated memory and emotion and thinking process theories going on in this movie, dumbed down and cutesied up, but it's still interesting in that regard and is entertaining. Heck, it might be worth seeing just for the emo scene during the final credits.
"What are we mad about?"
"I'unno. Whatever Troy's mad about."
"What's Troy mad about?"
"I'unno."
and
"Do you think they can tell we're a total fraud?"
"Of course not! We're wearing eye shadow!"
Excellent movie. I would recommend people of all ages watch it. Funny and touching.
Highly recommended!!

Hours - 2/5 - Good acting by Paul Walker but the movie itself is nothing to write about.
This movie is hilarious! Gotta say one of my favorites no doubt.

4/5 Very refreshing to see a thriller made old school. If you love Carpenter classics, you will find this interesting.
