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?

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. It tries to be edgy but really fails. And the farking butterfly....seriously? Lame.
Easy A - 3.5/5 - Had some pretty funny parts.
Predators - 4/5 - I wasn't expecting much in a sequel, but this was pretty good.
Splice - 1/5 - This would have been a great movie for MST3K.
Clash of the Titans (2010) - 2/5 - Haven't seen the original so I can't compare the 2, but I found this one kind of boring.
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief - 4/5 - Very similar plot to Clash of the Titans, but I found this easier to follow.
The Losers - 4/5 - Lots of shooting and stuff blowing up, what else could you want.
Now you need to go see Teeth....its on netflix streaming. Thank me later.
"Repo Men" - The premise was solid and I really wanted to like it - the movie was just so disjointed. For some reason I kept thinking that the film was pretty heavily influenced by "Shawshank Redemption".
"Daddy Longlegs" aka "Go Get Some Rosemary" - I hated the first 20 minutes of this film. It got less bad as it went on. It was one of those films where you hate all the characters (which isn't why I disliked it overall.)
So I've made a mental note to download S1 of that show, and instead I will start watching Dead Like Me
Extremely entertaining documentary about drug smugglers in Miami during the 70's and 80's. If this documentary is true, then Scarface was pretty realistic. Documentary features stories from a pilot who built a cocain transportation empire, a distributer and a hit man for one the scariest person I can imagine on the face of the earth. They are good story tellers so that really made is that much better. What I found most interesting was that Miami as we see it today was built with a lot of drug money.

Word of warning, lot's of graphic images of dead bodies, even of toddlers.

What are the correct ratings for this thread 1 out of 5? Someone please let me know.
"Paranormal Activity 2" should have been made and shot with "Paranormal Activity" the demon took too long to appear and when it did, ah so slow and dragging. Why wire the house if your not going to watch the tape? Why is the husband always so dumb? The family members were too unbelievable except the daughter. She was the only smart one along with the dog. 2.5/5
"Megamind" was ok and it had a different spin on your normal hero/villian story. Brad Pitt and Tina Fey's voice served no purpose at all. I did like David Cross and Will Farrell and Johan as Titan, the bad gingy hero. It was a bit to chattery and not enough action. The sfx were amazing. 3/5
"The Social Network" wow, just wow. Is the lesson, don't break a geeks
"Katt Williams: American Hustle" I liked this comedic ride but there were too many sex jokes. Luenell is always hilarious. Melanie I don't really know and Red, eww please fix your teeth man. As always Katt was hilarious and he just makes you
"Easy A" very funny and makes you say thank god, your done with high school. Lisa Kudrow, you bad girl you. That guy from "Gossip Girl", Penn Badgley, is always a cutie to look at, oh so sexy. I liked this movie and Emma Stone is always cool. Is that a hush puppy that was in every scene with Emma? I liked that dog. Is it me or is Stanley Tucci kind of sexy? 5/5
"The Crazies" this reminded me of "Quarantine" and I loved them both. Its and awesome horror movie and I'm sensing there will be a part 2. 4/5
"Knight and Day" ha, this was surprisingly funny. I think Cameron Diaz made this movie. You can easily replace Tom Cruise with any little person but she made me laugh. This felt like "Salt" mixed with a touch of "Bourne Identity (any version, you pick)" meets let's just make another spy movie and the girl falls for the short killer. 3.5/5
Enjoy your movie day everyone
"Drag Me to Hell" - As recently mentioned here. In general I liked it - yeah it was predictable in a lot of parts but in general it was decent. I still can't see Warren Cheswick from "Ed" as a leading man though.
"Mr. Brooks" - I liked the general premise (it was definitely Dexter-esque) but there was so much crazy filler/unnecessary sub-plot in there that it took away from the main story. Aside from Dane Cook the acting was pretty good.
Just started watching Legend of the Seeker and it's a great show. Plenty of action, the brunette is gorgeous, and it has some people from Spartacus, the best show ever created. Only problem is it'll be gone from Netflix instant soon. 40 episodes in 4 days is totally doable.
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (2005) - Didn't like Burton's take on the Oompa Loompas. I can see why Gene Wilder criticized Depp.
Has anyone seen Green Hornet yet and have an opinion? It just came out on DVD.
