Topic: Movies

This thread is to talk about movies in in general. What in theaters good (or bad). What's coming up. You name it.

So G.I. Joe is one of the best action movies ever. 9.5/10. It is also proof that ninjas are awesome.
The Host is also a good movie.

So I saw 42. It was a very good movie, very well acted and done. Ford was great in it.

The Call. It was a 8/10 in my opinion.

Thanks for making this thread. I was just about to tonight actually!
Good to see a thread like this!
I heard Gi Joe wasn't too good. Better than the original, but still not good.

Scary Movie 5 is arguably the worst movie of all time! Do not see it!!!
0.5/10

I actually thought the first one was pretty bad so I didnt even bother with the sequels.

Latest movie I saw in theaters was A Good Day to Die Hard
It was easily the worst of the series, but if your are looking for an action movie and I mean really full of action, then this is the movie for ya.
I'd give it 5/10

The Host got 0.5/10 from our respected national radio movie critic that calls himself (that movie guy)

Saw Jurassic Park 3D last monday.

It was already a classic, but watching it in 3D is like watching it for the first time all over again, IMO.

3D on the 3DS is neat, but there's nothing as awe inspiring as seeing it in action on the big screen. Everything was just so much more immersive, from the T-Rex chase, to the helicopter flying in to the island, and even the myriad of rain.

I was skeptical at first, but the movie really lent itself well to the 3D treatment, and it was implemented extremely well.

So how are the "The Great and Powerful Oz" and "Jack the Giant Slayer"?

One flew over the Cuckoo's nest is one of the best movies of all time. I'm exited for The Great Gatsby but mostly because Tobey Maguire is in it.

I saw Oblivion. It's a pretty good movie. The plot was pretty intresting.

I actually thought it was okay. Not the best, but it was a step up from 3 and 4, which were both pretty bad. The first Scary Movie is great, and the second is pretty funny too. But aside from those 3, every single one of those parody movies is a massive pile of crap. Of course, even those 3 have a number of moments that aren't funny, or that go on way too long, but the jokes that hit really hit for me.

I'm excited for This is the End. It looks really funny, and I generally enjoy Seth Rogan and James Franco. Plus, Danny McBride is hilarious.

Aside from Scary Movie V, the most recent thing I watched in theaters was 21 and Over, I think, which was alright. It was just too much of the same college movies, though. Every joke that you'd think is in it, is in it. I also saw Mama when it came out, which was a decent haunted house movie, but the ghost looked rather silly up close (and the evil hair slithering across the ground was beyond stupid), and the last 10 minutes or so are terrible and not even remotely scary.

Some of my favourite movies are
The Avengers
Shaun of the Dead
Hot Fuzz
Cabin in the Woods
South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut
Scott Pilgrim
The Matrix
Die Hard
Pineapple Express
Terminator 2
Tropic Thunder

A couple lesser known movies I'd STRONGLY recommend are:
Super
Take Shelter
Tucker and Dale VS Evil

I will see Great Gatsby but I wonder if it will compare to the Robert Redford version.

Last movie I saw was the latest James Bond movie. Blah. I swear the best Bond is the one you grew up watching. I miss the fun these movies had like with Roger Moore and Sean Connery. Of course the worst were the uberserious Dalton pair.

Previous film I saw was Paranormal Activity 4. So not leaving a laptop camera on during the night. Not great although never saw 1 through 3.

Star Wars VII 6.5/10

It was the fact they made Jar Jar a Jedi knight that ruined it for me. The story was decent though and the acting was good.

I would give it a 7.5/10
It was pretty good, but somehow it didn't satisfy me like I thought it would. Maybe I was hoping for more action...?

Finally saw Wreck it Ralph today. And I have to say its been the best Disney movie I have seen in years.

I decided to read up on "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest", and it sounds like a really profound movie, in a way I'd probably enjoy. I should watch it sometime.

I saw it on Saturday. Harrison Ford was excellent.

It's definitely something everyone who likes history and sports should watch.
