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?

Or for some of them, depending on your point of view, maybe it's a Purgatory-athon! (spoiler!?)
Time Lapse - Some friends find a machine that prints out photographs of the future. Enjoyable for the most part.
Project Almanac - Teenagers create a time machine. Decent.
Triangle - Your typical day on a sailboat... hit some bad weather, wind up on a giant ship from the 1930s. I had forgotten how good this movie is. It's great once it gets going. Though the slow stuff is there for a reason.
TimeCrimes - Kind of like Triangle, but not as dramatic and set more at a private lab. Triangle's main idea is kind of a ripoff of this, but they're both good in their own way.
Salvage - Kind of sort of like Triangle, but set more in a basement.
Mine Crimes - Kind of sort of like Triangle, but set more in an abandoned mine, and the people are dumber.

This movie is hilarious! Gotta say one of my favorites no doubt.
a by-the-book summer blockbuster, but nothing more. gave up a lot of the original's heart and suspense for more impressive visuals and a sprawling scope. both leads are caricatures without any depth or any reason for us to care about them, and only one has any sort of growth/change. you can tell Spielberg stayed at a distance on this one, which is a shame.
