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?

In Time - 4/5 - A pretty entertaining movie if you totally ignore how/why time is a currency.
Hopefully it will still be there this weekend. I've been a fan of the movies - like you said, they are decent popcorn movies
Was the last one the movie where she spends the first while on her own, alone, and it's really boring and slow? And then weird later with the new characters and all?
zzzzzzzzzzz...
Taken 2
Action movies are better when the non-macho people in the movies don't take so much time worrying about their feelings when they're being shot at.
DoYouRemix wasn't kidding about the illogical actions taken by the characters, or about the editing cuts that are so fast it can be hard to keep up with them. I think the camera angle cut six times in 10 seconds even when the guy is just putting on a tie.

Afterlife was where her and her clones attack a building to get Whesker, epic fail, and shows her months later alone. She meets up with Claire, frees the spider thing off her chest and helps her slowly remember what happened to where they got caught after the end of Extinction, then they go to this skyscraper to find survivors before heading over to the big ass boat. Yeah a lot of new characters but only weird if compared to when they were introduced from the video game then it's all

I haven't played the games I don't do well with games where I get jumpy and panicky. I need to work on that... I'd probably appreciate the movies a bit more, too.

Tina: I never thought about murdering innocent people before.
Cris: He's not a person Tina, he's a Daily Mail reader.

6.5 out of 10
Just could not finish the movie, I kept falling asleep.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Good solid cast, fairly predictable story, told competently, enjoyed it. 7/10.
Rock of Ages
Good solid cast, fairly predictable story, told competently, enjoyed the music I grew up with. 6/10.
The Hangover (2009) - One of my favorites, and now I need to see the second one again. "It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one."
Clash of the Titans (2010) - My son is on a mythology kick (yay!), but the original CotT wasn't available. I still don't know what the blue things in the desert were supposed to be.
Mark of the Vampire (1935) - A spooky film with great atmosphere that had loads o' potential. Holy bait and switch ending though, Batman! This may have the weirdest ending I have ever seen. Or it is 2nd to Monty Pyton and the Holy Grail.
Flying Deuces (1939) - I love Laurel & Hardy, but this one was pretty uneventful. Not bad per se, but not entirely eventful, either.
