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?

The Next Three Days is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time! You can't look away.

You need to devote some attention to it. The first time I watched it I thought it was just "meh". But on the second watch, I thought it was brilliant.


Skyline sucked ass. Big time. Don't waste your money and/or time.

I respectfully disagree. I thought it was too long in the tooth with him trying to set everything up and not enough of them "on the run". Christ, how much could we see of him following drug dealers to try and get a phony passport? Like someone else earlier in the thread mentioned, it got rather boring in the middle. Just my opinion.

The Thing 9/10

One of my favorite sci-fi horror movie. The FX may be dated but they are still awesome (in a funny way). Must watch for any sci-fi horror fans! I just found out they are making a prequel to it and it's coming out this year, hope it does justice to the original.

Limitless - Was pretty awesome visually, I didn't really expect how visual of a movie this would be. Story was ok, could've been better though. 8/10

"Inside Job" - Documentary about the most recent financial crisis. I thought it was a pretty good critical view of
the causes - there were a few times when it did get overly preachy, but for the most part it stayed on point.

"Inside Man" - Bank heist film. It started out really strong but completely fizzled 2/3 of the way through.

"Arthur" - I wanted to see the Dudley Moore original before the remake comes out. Not bad at all.

"Another Year" - British film. It was a really slow moving character piece. It was interesting enough.

"Babette's Feast" - A foreign film from the 80s - really good.

Really? - That could actually be pretty good. I remember watching the original on TV as a kid and it scared the hell out of me - especially the blood testing scene. :bounce

"Dogtooth" - I found it uncomfortable at times to watch and would pause it because it was unsettling for me to view some scenes. Hide But I liked feeling at odds with what I was seeing. It definitely is not a film that you will have figured out within the first 10 minutes. I caught myself cringing and asking wth?! several times during the film.
It was very thought provoking and I will definitely watch it again. nod 8/10

Yep, not sure if you remember but in the beginning they show Norwegians in the helicopter and the prequel will be around the Norwegians. Should be interesting but I haven't seen any trailers for it and it's supposed to come out this fall.

Some of the scenes were scary as a kid but it will probably make you giggle now. Doesn't take away from the movie though. That spider-head was awesome. laugh out loud

It took me a really long time into the movie before I stopped saying WTF so much.

Some of those translation in the movie were hilarious...like the words they learned from the VCR tape. Whee

Yes...And how about the 'zombies in the garden'...Smilie

I recently watched another great foreign film entitled "Mother"?
It was a 9.5/10 for me.
It's about a woman whose son, Do-Joon, is accused of brutally killing a young school girl. Now, Do-Joon is mentally slow and seems to be an easy person for the police to accuse in order to close the case. His mother makes it her mission to show he is innocent.

I really loved it.

Iagree - that was great. I remember the lead that played the mother did a really good job - Mom was damaged goods by the end of that movie.

you got a problem with that? Annoyed

have i shown you my living room? Roll
Love your living room BTW! Too many dvds but love and envy the rest! heart

It's like SD Movie Club here. I wanted to get Switch cuz Jason rocks my world but passed on it. Watching Unstoppable tonight. Last night:

No Tomorrow - documentary that had me arguing with the screen. It's about the murder of Risa Bejarano, who had 8 scholarships and was on her way to college after a bad childhood and a stint in foster care. Risa's life was featured in a different documentary called Aging Out which focused on her life in foster care. No Tomorrow focuses on how the prosecution used and manipulated footage of the first film in order to obtain the death sentence for her murderer. No matter how you feel about the death penalty or what the prosecution did, it is a great albeit sad film that will make you think. Frown
