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?

Tired of horror movies that are uninteresting and not scary or are lame-o boring torture porn just trying to throw a lot of blood around? Here you go.

Awesome movie. Don't read anything about it, just watch it. Sister gave away the ending but I still enjoyed it.

If you go into it looking at it as an action movie parody it's hilarious. The whole theater was laughing a lot during the last 3/4ths of the movie. Glad I got to see it for free.
All in all save your cash... 5.5 for story line...10 for effects and total creep factor!
So disappointed that I missed it in theaters. For a while, the only place showing it near me was a couple hours away in a different state, but they ended up getting a decent selection of SC theaters when it spread to other markets. A buddy I wanted to go see it with was TDY to the AOR at the time though, so I told him I would wait the three weeks until he got back.
Of course by the time he got back, it had vanished from theaters.
Then I wanted to rent it the day it came out and watch it that night, which was the night before I left the country. Went to Blockbuster less than half an hour after they opened and they had only gotten one DVD in, no Blu Rays. And it just so happened that it had been rented already.
So I got a copy in the mail from Amazon early last week and finally got a night off this weekend and put it in. Movie was fantastic.
Pencak Silat is not a martial art I am too familiar with seeing and it was cool to see. There were some moments in a couple fights where I was on the edge of my seat exclaiming "DAMN! and "HOLY -!" I initially planned on watching it with the original soundtrack too, but for kicks started watching it with the Mike Shinoda/Joe Trapanese music and it was done surprisingly well. The story was pretty basic and didn't have much going for it, but the fights more than made up for it.
I would have to say my only complaint was that the default language was English, so I had to stop the movie, go in and change the audio options, and then restart it. And that is a really minor issue though. I usually check the audio options first, but was surprised it was defaulted to English and not Indonesian.
Anyway, the movie was great and I loved it. On my next day off, I will be watching it again with either the original score or with commentary on. I highly recommend it to any martial arts fan, foreign film fan, or general action fan.
