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?

Frustrating and subtext and needing Google? I just thought it was about an evil something or other that kills you unless you can Tag You're It someone else.
Well, we're horror fans so we view things differently and we are both affiliated with the film industry. Mindless entertainment is fine but my SO and I felt they were trying to say something more and they were. Rape is never an easy subject but this was so abstract compared to say... The Accused or Bastard Out of Carolina. Not that subtext is bad just that you've failed completely as a filmmaker if so many viewers just think it's a stupid horror film.

The Revanant - 7/10

Beautiful cinematography, I was really enjoying the scenery BUT very difficult movie to watch because what main character faces, just brutal. Inspired by true events with key word being inspired. Acting was great all around. Story didn't do much for me, a man's will to survive to seek out justice/revenge.

Also not a good movie to watch when it's -10 outside. Wait for it on DVD and watch in summer.

You gotta be kiddin' me? Huh

We saw this yesterday and it's a total piece of garbage. Worse than Django. And I didn't think ANYTHING could be worse than Django.

This piece of sh*t should have been called "How to Nail a F%$#@&G Door Shut"!

You're too young to know what a Spaghetti Western is, Django Unchained was an homage to the original Django movie. Viewing it in that context, I thought it was pretty good.

Recently watched the first TMNT movie (I think it came out last year or the year before) and it wasn't bad but over rated in my opinion.

Zootopia - 4/5 - Totally cute!

Inside Out - 4/5 - It definitely had some sad moments. Frown

We couldn't finish the Hateful 8, got thru like maybe 30 mins and turned it off it was painful. I guess I'm not really a fan of Western movies. Never saw Django either.

Oh, that Transportation movie with the new actor... it's gotta be one of the worse actings I've ever seen on an action flick. Shocking

Batman Vs Superman - I enjoyed it but I can see why it's not doing a ton of repeat business. It's long with a lot of exposition, so seeing it twice could be a bit much. But the first time through is pretty cool. I like the direction they're taking with this group. Also, Wonder Woman is awesome.

Agreed...hateful 8 was dog sh*t. After 45 minutes I figured there would have been some sort of action...nope..nada. I started to fast forward to see the "good" parts...got to the part where the credits rolled and that was that.

For Django...are you sure you watched the right movie Mad? I loved that one. Little bit of comedy...over the top former slave gun slinger bounty hunter trying to track down his woman.

Revenant - I also thought that movie sucked. Boring for the most part.

Batman vs. Superman. "This seems like a stretch of logic for why Batman wants to fight Superman." Zzzzz... "This Lex Luthor is not believable." Zzzzz... "Oh, hey, Wonder Woman. Cool." Zzzzz....

Star Wars VII. Was that it? It's ok, I guess.

Eddie the Eagle. Hugh Jackman is the coach for a longshot guy trying to make the British Olympic team for ski jump against all odds. You can already guess everything that will happen, but if you're in the mood for a predictable, feel-good movie, it's pretty good for that.

Deadpool. R-rated Fun.

Emelie. Babysitter goes bad. "This is slow... this is slow... ok, now this is disturbing. Oh, now it's over."

Jane Got a Gun. Western with Natalie Portman. Decent.

Daddy's Home. Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell compete to be best dad for their step-daughter. Pretty good.

Gods of Egypt. The gods movie with that guy from Game of Thrones and that guy from 300. From the trailer, I expected it to be big, dumb, and lots of fun. The actual movie is big, dumb, and sort of fun, in a big, dumb way.

Huntsman: Winter's War. No.

Nina Forever. Every time the guy starts to have sex with a new girlfriend, his deceased, covered-in-blood girlfriend rises out of the bed or nearby ground and causes problems. Dark comedy/love story. Slow but good.

Captain America: Civil War. The best movie of 2016.

Finally saw "Spy" with Melissa McCarthy. It was hilarious. I laughed out loud several times. 5/5
