The Official What was the last movie you saw??

Limitless.

Hollywood's ability to take a brilliant, near-foolproof concept and turn it into something formulaic and banal, that grinds down your senses until you want to weep is nothing short of astounding. Like, seven-wonders-of-the-world astounding.

Limitless is exhibit "A".

Lincoln Lawyer....good flick.

It was great if you turn it off after 15 mins.

I waited too long; 45 minutes and out.

Sitting out in the middle of nowhere...and seeing how I have an external TB full of movies, watched the CLASSIC...

That said, she isn't funny in the least.

What little of an ass she had there, is now gone.

Aw, then you missed the last 3 mins of De Niro's total 7 mins of screen time.

I've actually used that phrase from time to time. Most have no idea where that line comes from, so I get away with copyright violations. :up:

I was hoping to find a better picture to post, but I was rushed for time this morning :lol:

Harry Potter 10/10. amazing end to the story.

Deathly Hallows Part 2 was amazing, should get an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, effects, Alan Rickman. The shortest in the series though at a little over 2 hours. Also moves by very quickly, seemed like they cut a lot out during the battle. Must have saved a lot for the "Super Deluxe Extended Unrated Director's Cut" (or whatever they'll call it..it'll be worth it for this series though, not like some where they add like 3 minutes of extra footage and pretend it's a whole new film.) By the way, it looks like it is going to break The Dark Knight's weekend record. DH Part 2 made 92 million dollars in the USA on Friday alone. The Dark Knight made 158 or something in it's first weekend.

And speaking of Dark Knight, the Dark Knight Rises trailer was Pretty good. Was hoping there would be a glimpse of Catwoman, but they're doing the slow build. Bane is only shown for a second, just his face it looked like.

Since I've had a little bit of down time as of late, been watching what I have loaded on my external hard drive.

Anyone wanna take a guess as to this old movie classic?

Well, since there doesn't look like there's going to be very much guessing....

"The Charge of the Light Brigade"

Saw Deathly Hallows Part II and it was awesome. I'll probably see it again.

Seen Captain America and to my surprise... it's probably the best superhero movie out this summer (out of Thor, X-Men First Class, and Green Lantern).

I saw Captain America and really liked it. I wouldn't put it above X-Men First Class, but it was better than Thor or Green Lantern. I also thought the teaser at the end for the Avengers was great.

"The Charge of the Light Brigade"

Half a league, half a league,
  Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
  Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns' he said:
Into the valley of Death
  Rode the six hundred.

Saw Capt. America today. I have to say as an avid fan of comic books in my earilier day I don't think any movie I have seen has so closely related its story to the cannonical story I grew up reading. Excellent. Much better than most superhero movies I have seen. Topped only by TDK, the Tim Burton Batman and maybe Ironman in overall story, but first in canon.

Just some movies I have enjoyed that you probably haven't heard of, but they are available on netflix:
Adventures of Power:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0960721/

Ok I enjoyed this one. Odd thing is I couldn't really tell if it was because it was really bad or really good. Either way turn off your mind, watch it, and decide for yourself.

The winning season:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1293842/

This is yes a story about a girl's basketball team. It is however, a very good movie IMO. Unlike many sports movies today, it is very subtle and not to campy. I really enjoyed it, and the humor is never too over the top. A really big surprise for me.
