What movies have you seen recently?


Outsourced :thumbup:
The TV show is based on (and borrows heavily from) this movie. Nothing obscenely great, but different and funny. It was shot in India, so the scenery is great.

Dinner for Schmucks :thumbdown: :thumbdown:
Oh, man.

Transsiberian :umm:
Meh, forgettable. The plot had potential, but didn't really deliver. Got the Netflix queue in part for the remote shooting locations, which didn't disappoint.

Iron Man 2 :umm:
Not really into superhero movies, but the first one blew me away. This one just didn't have that same touch.

The Wolfman :umm:
The English countryside locations were the prime draw for me, but overall this wasn't so hot. I was surprised how lacking in suspense it was.

True Grit :thumbup::thumbup:
Saw this in the theater last night. Loved it. Bridges was amazing. I thought it was better than other recent westerns - the proposition, assassination of jesse jame, 3:10 to yuma and appaloosa - but that was in part because jeff bridges' character was SUCH a character.





If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

From BD's list....

Dinner For Schmucks - :thumbup:
a few of my other friends saw it and hated it too, but I thought it was funny!

Iron Man II - :thumbup:
Thought it wasnt as good as the first one, but still liked it a lot.

The Wolfman - :thumbdown:
I assume you mean the recent remake. I thought it sucked. Super boring!


Stuff I've actually seen recently....

Lemmy - :thumbup:
but I understand why some people (Gavin) didnt like it. I just thought the parts about Lemmys normal day to day life were awesome and seeing his $900 a month rent control apartment in Hollywood was awesome!

Pirhana 3D - :thumbup:
I downloaded this, it was my first pirated movie! Its a great BAD movie. Lots of blood and even more boobs! Seeing it in 2D kinda sucked becuase the effects that were in 3D looked pretty shitty in the 2D version, but I still liked it.


Also recently rewatched -

Fanboys - :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
this is one of my favorite movies and I finally bought it on blu-ray. It really is awesome. Even if you're not super into Star Wars its a great 'Friends' movie.

Zack & Miri Make a Porno - :thumbup:
Funny shit, Seth Rogan, lots of Boobs... whats not to love!

Inception :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: - Best thing I've watched in the last few months.

Red :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Really fun movie

The Girl who Kicked a Hornet's Nest :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Whole trilogy is amazing 5/5 for all three flicks

John Adams (HBO mini-series) :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: I'm a sucker for historical shit

I forgot about The Town. I was surprised at how much I liked it considering Ben Affleck was in it.

I went to see True Grit last night. It was good but not great.
I could have done with a little more action and a little less of the goofiness from Bridges. I was expecting something a lot more bitter and grim, like the Proposition.

I thought Dinner... looked really fucking stupid, so I've avoided it like the plague.

I got a huge list of stuff I need to watch but I can't remember when the last time I watched a movie was :( We're on a huge TV kick, not enough time to watch movies with work & a baby who doesn't chill or sleep on his own.



A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I thought most of the movie was great. It did feel like it was long but it kept me entertained the entire time. Heck that is why I rented it again. I've heard several people diss it so, what do I know. I thought it was very good.

i'm trying to watch most of the oscar nominated films before the ceremony. but usually i feel more like watching dumb & entertaining stuff than something artistic.

fair game :thumbup:
good insight in the situation around the outing of cia agent valerie plame in 2003. naomi watts is super hot
little fockers :thumbdown::thumbdown:
horrible
animal kingdom :thumbup:
excellent aussie crime film. i think most of you would like it.
due date :umm:
alright, not a masterpiece
blue valentine :thumbup:
good relationship film although depressing. great acting.
the king's speech :thumbup:
maybe it's getting a little too much praise at the moment but i liked it.
127 hours :thumbup::thumbup:
harrowing shit, great film.
winter's bone :thumbup::thumbup:
chilling ozark white trash atmosphere. my favorite of the year so far.

saw a bunch of films on the plane to and from Asia recently...

The Town - great, definitely the best film i saw out of the few available.
Inception - watchable but i couldn't get into it. just reminded me of The Matrix.
Clash Of The Titans - awful
Social Network - better than i expected being that it's a film about a website
Predators - watchable but overall a bit lame despite the numerous references to the first film

i wanted to watch Winter's Bone but fell asleep :(

I'm confused. Was that making fun of British gangster flicks, or the fact that many Americans can't understand plain English?
