A "Hey I just watched a movie" thread

12,438 1,117 April 23, 2010 at 06:49 PM
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.) Big Grin

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?

Oh, I also finished watching Dead Like Me, the show and the movie.

I'm kind of glad it's over. It just got too depressing to watch alone at night before bed. The movie would have been a complete let down if it weren't for the ending. With two main actors gone (and one of them replaced by another actress playing the same character) it just felt weird and different. They needed a little something extra with the reapers to wrap it up better at the end.

Not to say I didn't like it. I really enjoyed the show (other than feeling depressed after watching it) and I was excited when I did see original actors appearing in the movie.

Hello the other day I finished:

"Transsiberian" it was slow to start but then it finally got going and it was interesting. It starred Woody Harrelson and Ben Kingsley about smuggling drugs on the train from China to Russia.

"17 Again" is just a funny, movie about high school and what you would have done if you didn't end up looking like Matthew Perrry. Zac Efron is really cute Girly I liked how the didn't try to cheese it up and make Zac the super teen. His fake father, Officer Dangle (from COPS) is always hilarious. Rent if your having a bad day.'

"The Fourth Kind" now listen, I know were not alone and there are other planets and stuff but that doctor Emily she looked like an alien, ghost herself. She scared me. They didn't need the reenactments of the real footage because it made it look cheesy side by side. The real footage is scary by itself. This is a good movie to play during Halloween or when you want to scare the kids to bed.

You do realize there was no "real footage", it was all movie make believe. That was one of the many things about the movie that bugged me along with the bad acting and other things.

Mesrine: Part 1: Killer Instinct 8.5/10

French movie based on a real French gangster named Jaques Mesrine. I liked it a lot, definitely check it out if you liked Prophet or Gomorrah or if you like gangster movies. What is it about these scum that makes them so interesting?

I couldn't even watch the whole thing, watched 30 mins and turned it off. Watched the second one and I can say for sure that I am now a Micheal Baycist.

Repo Men: 7/10. Movie never really pulled me in despite having some decent action. Kinda like the ending. It's about Repo going after clients who no longer can afford their organs. It's nothing new but reminded me of endings from tv shows like The Twilight Zone and Outer Limits. Things aren't always what they seem.

Unthinkable: 8/10. Not a lot of action, lots of talks, threats, and a few finger chopping but entertaining. It's about a terrorist who have 3 bombs stashed somewhere in US and how far are people willing to go to find these bombs. Reminds me of the tv show 24. Honestly, if you were in charge of saving thousands to millions of lives, how far would you go? No easy answer.

I kind of figured that because the Dr. Emily looked like an alien ghost herself. I still do believe Ninja.

I took my mom to see "Jumping the Broom" (I finally used the Fandago $ I had won) and it was very funny. Ah future mother-in-laws, what can you do? I laughed and I loved Romeo and Mike Epps because the just kept bringing the laughs.

I finally got around to watching The Green Hornet. It was alright, a lot of noticeably forced issues between the two main characters.

I liked The Town, even though I hate Ben Affleck. In fact, I went into that movie expecting to hate it, and was pleasantly surprised!
