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?

Fast & Furious 6 - 4/5 - Good movie. This would be a great ending to the series as it wrapped up things very nicely and especially considering the death of Paul Walker, but unfortunately they are making a 7th movie.
As far as movies I've seen recently:
22 Jump Street was hilarious. It is easily one of the best sequels ever. I'm not so sure I would put it higher than 21 Jump Street but it's as close as a sequel can get for sure. Many consider it funnier so to each his own. 9/10
i frankenstein. I made the mistake of spending 38 cents on this movie at redbox. I was just standing there and didn't feel like researching the movies so I just went with it partially due to the 3D aspect. What a horrendous movie. 1/10 and that's only because some of the 3d was ok.
Was confused as to why it wasn't anything like the trailer I watched. Figured out after half an hour that the trailer I watched was for Edge of Tomorrow.
Predictable but decent.
funny if you like Wes Anderson, but not as good as The Royal Tennenbaums imo
Hunger Games - Felt like it was a mix between Lord of the flies and The Running Man. 7/10
Hunger Games Catching Fire - A remake of the first lol I figured that if they really dispised the idea of the games all 24 would refuse to fight among themselves would be the logical idea. 5/10
Jump Street 21 - Besides having waifu drooling over Channing Tatum pretty funny movie. The cop part of me kept thinking how stupid the plot holes where. Loved the explosions gag. 8/10
The Innkeepers - Why do I keep letting my wife pick one night and me the other? 2/10 for the jump scare scenes

End was too predicitable. Also lost of stuff that does not even make sense. Suspension of disbelief level is high. Still 7/10 is about right maybe 6/10 for predictability and glaring plot holes.

A Million Ways to Die In the West - I love Family Guy and Seth MacFarlane has written his two movies so afr as extended versions of a typical Family Guy episode. The one issue I have is that the movie was doing great without need of the infamous scatlogical jokes until about three quarters of the way in when when we get a very visual shit gag which I think took away from showcasing Seth not needing to rely on that type of low brow gag. 9/10 (Could be way lower if you are not a FG fan)
22 Jump Street - Very similar to the first, I love that fact that they keep referencing the TV show and the first movie and even some other movies without making it necessary to have previous knowledge to get the joke. 8/10
On the edge on watching this one or not.

I am easily entertained. The Ruth gag was funny. The entire fair was well done. The mustache song. And the barn surprise gag was cool as well. Just liked how it all flowed. But than again I am a FG and Seth fan so it stands that I overrated it by a truckload.
Need for Speed - Not much different than Fast and Furious and quite honestly the story line sucked. If it weren't for some nicer cars, it's not even worth the watch. 1/5
Blended - I like the chemistry between Drew and Adam. This movie was very funny from beginning to end. I wasn't expecting much but was pretty entertained. 4/5
