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?

Dances With Wolves - Great movie but some parts were just TOO slow and I could not stand Kevin Costner's narration.

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.

Some movies I've seen over the last couple of weeks:

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.

I liked that one too. Have you seen "Delicatessen" (done by the same guy?) Another one that I'm not sure if I posted (I saw a few months back) was "Mary and Max" - pretty quirky (and funny in parts).

"La Haine" - An inner city French film. Voted one of the best world films of all time. I didn't see what was so great about 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.

Oh yeah - two movies that I watched recently that couldn't finish.

"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.

I saw a lot of movies over the past 2-3 weeks. Had to use up my Redbox codes. LMAO

Some that stuck out, not because it's memorable or anything...

Skyline - 1/5 ...WTF LMAO I read it was bad, but gee-golly... I didn't think it was going to be that bad. The ending also... Crazy

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. laugh out loud But the beagle was soooooo cute!! Makes me want a dog. heart

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. Smilie

The Hit List - 2.5/5 - I guess I like killing movies. laugh out loud I guy jokingly makes a comment and hit list in a bar, the recipient act upon the list and started killing one by one off the list.

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. LMAO The story itself was 1/5.

Little Fockers I don't remember the movie enough to rate it. laugh out loud

Green Hornet 2/5 - It was okay... not great. The fight scenes were comical. But I liked the props like the car... Seat parachute. laugh out loud

Okay, that's all I remembered of what I watched, I'm sure I've seen more... but don't remember.
