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?

A Clockwork Orange - Three words. What the hell. It was my first time watching it so I really went in cold, but Stanley Kubrick is either a freak or genius, but probably both. It was definitely an uncomfortable movie to watch, but I feel like if I let it sink in or maybe watch it again (definitely not something I plan on doing in the near future), I'll get it. Still don't know what to think about it right now.
Your usual bad guys, lavish lifestyle, heist, double crossing movie

Well made. Good acting. Hailee Steinfeld did a splendid job

Skyline 1.5/5...typical alien attack movie. Group of people trying to survive.
Micmacs 8/10
French movie, quirky, arms dealers, comedy. Recommended for anyone who likes quirky movies.
Resident Evil: The latest shitty one 2/10
Stupid movie made for stupid 16 year olds, stupid movie is stupid. The last one was entertaining, this one was pure shit.
Transcendent Man 8/10
Very interesting documentary about a genius inventor and futurist. I don't know if I want to live the way he thinks we will live in the future. I found his future vision troubling and scary.
Teeth 7/10
Get goosebumps thinking about it. :shudder:
The Man Who Wasn't There 8/10
Very good movie. If you like Coen brother movies, watch it.

"The Chaser" - A really good Korean crime film about an ex-cop turned pimp who has to track down one of the ladies in his care. Gritty stuff.
"Freaked" - Stupid 1990s Troma-like film with the guy from Bill and Ted that wasn't Keanu.
"Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom" - TV movie. The dialogue was inane and preachy. It's different from the Jumping the Broom film that came out earlier this year.

Some that stuck out, not because it's memorable or anything...
Skyline - 1/5 ...WTF
The Dilemma - 2/5 - Oh man this movie dragged... I was debating if I wanted to watch this or Gnomeo and Juliet, I ended up watching this and had to return both the next day and didn't see the cartoon. I liked the story, but it just DRAGGEDD... like dude get to doing something already... or maybe it was just me?
Twelve - 1.5/5 - There wasn't much to this movie besides druggies dealing drugs, people becoming addicts and doing things to get it.
Elephant White - 2.5/5 - I guess this is a straight to DVD movie, the movie takes place in Bangkok, Thailand... An assasin is hired to kill off traffickers and free the girls that are being trafficked. There's some action, but not crazy effects and etc. The storyline is decent with a slight twist.
I Am Number Four - 2/5 - Reminds me of a spin-off of the Marvel Comics movies. Find more of their kinds to fight off the enemy to be able to live on Earth.
The Roomate - 1.5/5 - This movie is about a girl who goes off to college and dorms, she has a psycho roomate who is obsessed about her and wanting to be her friend and be like her... she goes as far as getting the same tattoo and etc. Scaring people away and taunting them. Not that scary...
The Mechanic - 3/5 - The Mechanic is a term used by the rich as the person to "fix issues" or basically kill off their enemies. I like how the main actor is so smart in his killings. Not much plot just aciton.
The Hit List - 2.5/5 - I guess I like killing movies.
Chain Letter - 2/5 - You guessed it! It's about chain letters, those that get the chain letter and breaks the chain loses their life. Simple as that... I gave it a higher rating because it was so graphic.
Little Fockers I don't remember the movie enough to rate it.
Green Hornet 2/5 - It was okay... not great. The fight scenes were comical. But I liked the props like the car... Seat parachute.
Okay, that's all I remembered of what I watched, I'm sure I've seen more... but don't remember.
