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?

don't waste your time on Pacific Rim. On HBO this weekend, overall one of the worst movies I have watched.

I like Pacfic Rim. Am I alone? Sadwalk

Closed Circuit - In England, a terrorist bomber is on trial and his court appointed special advocate and barrister discover the government is hiding a secret. Um... It was hard to follow the English legal system as we're so used to these being American film plots and the whole plot was confusing at first and then worked out to be very simple. Bad writing, directing, or both.

It was average. If you like 1970's espionage films you'll love it.

Turn that frown upside down, I really liked it. But the big bot movies of the 80s I grew up with so seeing a remake in HD was awesome for me. I could care less about the cheeseball storyline, overly dramatic dialogue, and formulaic ending. Hell most of those type of movies are like that so I'm not expecting that much. But the visuals were great so I'm with you.

Hated it. nod

Thor - I liked Dark World better. This wasn't as funny or interesting. And people were complaining about Dark Elves and how it reminded them of LOTR. Here you have Frost Giants which remind me of The Jolly Green Giant and frozen vegetables. We can probably all agree that originality in plots is somehwhere in the wearhorse (?) as the Ark of the Covenant.

To be fair, Frost Giants and Dark Elves are straight out of Norse history - a source that Tolkien and other writers like him pulled from heavily. So if people are criticizing about ripoffs, they're doing it the wrong way.

Although I'm pretty sure we all thought of the jolly green giant and frozen vegetables as our first, knee-jerk, reaction.
