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?

Ride - Helen Hunt made the never good decision to write, produce, direct, and star in a film. She's a surfer but she doesn't get the community and what it's all about or she never would've written such a turd of a film. Over-protective publisher mom has trouble letting go of her son and letting him go off to college or live his life. She follows him out to Cali and learns to surf. In fact too much of the film is just her learning to surf and getting lessons. I don't care for her and really question the choice of how peeing on someone's foot (jellyfish type a thing) can turn into a romantic encounter. Wtf?
Did you ever see The Sessions? It's based on a true story. Her character is a sex surrogate for writer Mark O'Brien, a man trapped in an iron lung but wants to lose his virginity. She portrays her character very well. And the role requires total nudity at times and she seemed to be completely at ease with it. A lot of actors say they just can't do it.

Another one of my favorites was the Thanksgiving where they had to keep replacing the turkey because Murray ate it. Classic!

The Revenant - Good but too many subtitles, if i wanted to read the damn thing i'd buy the book. I'm sure the book wasn't spoken in pawnee, why did the movie have to be?
It's on Netflix instant watch, btw.
Looks like 2 other films are free online and can be removed from queue. Yay.

The Cyberbully -- pretty good for being a teen angst movie where the majority of the action is typing on a keyboard. Stars Maisie Williams, the younger sister on Game of Thrones. Who was also in multiple episodes of the latest season of Doctor Who by the way.
Starring Adam West. Biography of Adam West, probably best known for the 1960s Batman TV show and the voice of the mayor on Family Guy. Shows the rise and fall and rise of a rather down-to-Earth Hollywood celebrity.
He Never Died. Henry Rollins. Understatedly enjoyable. A day in the life of a seemingly more-than-human guy who doesn't sweat the small stuff and doesn't care for other people yet supernaturally winds up helping them anyway. I'm trying to not spoil the movie's Revelations.
The Forest. Horror movie based on a real forest in Japan where people walk in but they don't walk out. Stars the best Game of Thrones queen Natalie Dormer. You can probably guess how the story is going to go, but, still, Pretty Creepy!
The Veil. Jessica Alba and Thomas Jane. A group of investigators investigate the old stomping grounds of a cult that tried to gain immortality. You can probably guess how the story is going to go, but, still, Pretty Creepy!
The Boy. Horror thriller. Stars Laura Croft from The Walking Dead. A couple needs a babysitter to watch their "son," who is a three-foot-tall doll. You can probably guess how the story is going to go, for the most part. Not really very all that creepy!
