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?

Seeking A Friend for the End of the World
I thought it was pretty good. It's a low-key buddy movie. I liked it more than 7 Psychopaths. That was ok too, but to me was more been there, done that.

Mama
Is pretty creepy. I didn't want the woman to look in the closet, so the movie makers must have done something right. And the kid playing tug of war with "someone" off-screen... uh oh.
That reminds me of another one I saw a while back...

The Woman in Black
Starring Daniel Radcliffe. (Harry Potter)
That's pretty creepy too. Both are solid movies too, not just creepy.

Here's a movie people probably haven't heard of. Lower budget, but imo more entertaining than half the big-budget stuff.
Overtime
Two hitmen doing a job turns into two hitmen fighting alien zombies. Lots of zombies, lots of guns, and lots of one-liners.
It won eight awards including Best Picture at the 2011 Fright Night film festival.
It stars Al Snow, so that automatically means it's at least watchable.

Did watch it tonight, I liked it. Kind of a romantic comedy without being too cheeseball or syrupy.

Taken 2 - Thought it was just as good as the first one. They could probably milk a 3rd out of it by having the daughter become an agent.

Warm Bodies - saw it with hubby over the weekend. Pretty good for a romantic zombie comedy. Worth a matinee ticket. 4/5

Fiancee made me watch Pitch Perfect and Hotel Transylvania.

Pitch Perfect was a solid 8.5/10. Great music and great cast. Story was lacking though

Hotel Transylvania is a excellent 9.5/10. I wanted to hate this movie so badly... but I couldn't. Its 1990's cartoon network type humor, it was directed by the creator of Dexters Laboratory and Samurai Jack. And it shows. Humor is awesome, Creativity is awesome. Again the story is lacking, but the humor more than makes up for it

Hotel Transylvania [imdb.com] - Pretty good movie, some funny lines that I did NOT see coming. After watching movies like the Lorax, I expected a significant story but I was let down. Animation was great and jokes were decent - 3.5/5

Zero Dark Thirty [imdb.com] - Really enjoyed this, had me wondering how true some of the aspects were. Even though I knew the ending (obviously), it was really intense and seemed quite real. Hoping to find a decent book that gives some of the facts of how the actual raid happened with some background info. 4.25/5

Lilya 4 Ever - probably one of the most difficult movies Ive ever watched since everything feels so real, including the actors. In my top 3 favorite movies ever now. Highly recommended everyone see this. Only problem is it wasnt officially released for sale here in the states. Netflix by mail has a special copy they rent out, or you would have to buy the region 2 copy overseas.

Famke Janssen? Who knows. I mean what was she really doing with Liam Neeson's character in the first place?
