The Official What was the last movie you saw??

I had hoped to make it a weekend trifecta, catching up on films that I had forgotten about in April. Alas, The Losers is out of theaters here locally unless I want to drive to Kansas City, a 2 hour drive. So my trifecta is a double-header, though I may catch The Losers as I'll be in Wichita next week.

Kick-*** - I really, really enjoyed this movie (that's 2 reallys). Mark Millar remains my favorite comic-book author of modern times (Ultimate X-Men, The Ultimates, and the vastly underrated Superman: Red Son Elseworlds title are just a few of my favorites). I was concerned that we would be seeing something similar to Wanted, but Kick-*** is a faithful adaptation of the source material. It's a unique entry into a crowded summer movie season that seems to be littered with comic inspired films. 5 of 5 stars.

Iron Man 2 - A fairly derivative sequel to Iron Man, still enjoyable though it suffers from "haven't we done this before" moments. Robert Downey continues to shine as Tony Stark, and Don Cheadle does a very good job of replacing Terrence Howard as James Rhodes/War Machine. My only complaint is the lack of screen time for bad guy Mickie Rourke. 4.5 of 5 stars. More in depth thoughts here.

 

I just watched Hot Tub Time Machine, and surprisingly laughed my *** off...

"We can prevent Miley Cyrus..."
"Prevent her from what?"
"Just prevent her"

 

robin hood, enjoyed it a lot. Not like what has been produced before on the matter.

 

Best Robin Hood Evar?

I am dieing to see it

 

I recently purchased netflix for my Xbox and I am loving it. I get to watch older movies on my Xbox while I wait for the new ones to show up by mail.


Boondock Saints: Why it took me this long to see this movie I have no clue...awesome movie.

Taking of Pelham 123: Not the best Denzel and Travolta movie I have seen, but its still a good movie.

 

ummmm not sure if i'd say its the best ever as men in tights is the bees knees, but its basically something I haven't seen in terms of storyline.

 

Men who stare at goats.

Not a bad movie..but not one I will watch again.

 

Heat

Classic. If you haven't, do yourself a favor and watch it. TNT has been runnin it like crazy this weekend.

 

I watched Stepbrothers last night. I thought it was pretty damn funny. One of those comedies that if it had been PG-13, it would have sucked.

 

Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson.
Good docu. PBS always makes good documentaries this one is no exception. Kind of long, but I think it kind of has to be so to get the full story out. Entertaining though through most of it. A definite must see for fans of boxing, or those who wish to see how far this country has come in terms of race.

 

I saw Robin Hood last night. I enjoyed it. I think this is the first time I've seen any kind of prequel to the story of Robin Hood. Russell Crowe and Kate Blanchett were very good in this one.

 

"The Road" ****ing great movie. had me interested all the way through. sad sad stuff. great flick. i liked it alot.

 

Alice in Wonderland...wasn't mind blowing, but was pretty good. Definitely worth a rental. Pretty trippy, I imagine a lot of stoners went to see it haha.

Besides that and Iron Man 2 it seems this summer has been slow. Toy Story 3 will be amazing of course. Can't believe I was 7 and 11 when the first two came out. It could be the most emotional animated movie ever, with the whole getting older thing attached to it!

Oh MacGruber is supposed to be wild and funny.

 

Watched Book Of Eli...

Good movie by cast and crew with a great plot.

Only thing that bugged me was probably because I was too dumb to notice until my partner told me:

Spoiler

I had no idea Eli was blind. Not even soon after the film finished because I know you don't have to be blind to read braille and there wasn't any obvious statements even to the end.

 

I saw Prince of Persia. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't anything special. It was fairly formulaic and predictable. The actions sequences were well done. He had this parkour-type of fighting style. I'd say it was worth a summer rental as long as you don't go in with high expectations.

 

Just watched Taxi Driver on netflix last night. A classic that I had never seen before. I thought it was pretty good. Pretty interesting story.

Spoiler

But what idiot gets a date with a hot blonde and takes her to a porn movie?

 

I agree. I've watched this too even though it had average reviews. I enjoyed it except it kinda just lulled in the middle. It starts off with a bang then there's this long drawn out middle bit then it finishes with a bang. Overall a good action flick.

 

Lovely Bones- Good movie I enjoyed it. Got kinda slow in the middle

 

Avatar: Loved it.

 

I enjoyed the games so I may give this a look.

 

Just got back from Iron Man 2. It was so-so, quite a bit of a lull in the middle. You wouldn't be missing much to watch it at home.

 

I've been watching the Justice League DVDs. They are actually pretty cool.

 

"Abominable" on the sci fi channel. It was too god awful in a good way to turn it off.
favorite scene- when the bigfoot creature cuts the power to the house right after the main character says "hey! We're smarter than this thing."

 

I gotta check out this movie. ^

 

The Blind Side

 

Get him to the Greek...

Anyone else seen it?

Where the wildthings are. I...made it through the first ten minutes..

 

Dude, seeing the monster costume alone was worth it. If they ever bring back mystery science theatre 3000 they would definitely mock this movie.


*spoiler scene

 

The Road- Good movie but very depressing

 

can we get a review?

 

Took the kids to see "Marmaduke." I can honestly say the movie was about as funny as the comic strip.

Which is to say not at all...

 

Saw iron man 2 the 1st half of the movie was okay, 2nd half lot better.

 

Well I thought it was extremely funny. Much much funnier then I anticipated it would be.

Did you stick around after the credits?

I saw "get him to the greek" saturday night. It was decent funny, in the style of the hangover.

 

The last movie I saw was the other night a flick called, "One Eyed Monster"......Serious movie, not a porno.....I suggest EVERYBODY watches this movie....FULL of one-liners....

Trust me you will thank me later....

 

The Perfect Sleep.

Highly-stylized, told almost entirely in first-person narrative, not to mention the least-engaging lead actor EVER. I got about an hour in hoping it would get better but it never did.

I wouldn't recommend it.

 

district 9

a lot better than i thought it would be.

 

Yea I thought it was a good movie. PRAWN.

 

That movie kicked a%$ on so many levels. The social commentary, the quasi documentary style, the killer alien weaponry and the acting...I hope they come out with the sequel.

Favorite scene-when the dude who is turning into an alien is nearly defeated in that Gundam techno(?) suit and lunges to catch that RPG.

Best, most original, highly watchable movie of the year...

 

-Avatar
-Iron Man 2
-Prince of Persia

Liked all of them a lot.
