Since this is the subforum related to movies etc., I thought of adding this topic. Here people post the movie they last saw and what they thought of it. When a lot of people do this, maybe we can get some new movies to watch, or give each other recommendations, or ...
I hope you get the point.

So, let's start:

I watched Machete a couple of days ago. I watched it for the second time, because I think it's way too awesome The movie is too blown up to be taken serious, but that's the point. And I like that!

So, what movies did you watch recently?

Last one I watched was "The mechanic", with Jason Statham. Nothing great, just some action movie like many others. Was entertaining at least.

I find it hard to watch good movies since acouple years ago. I believe most of the talen has moved to TV series these days. Just my 2 cents.

I watched Harry Potter and the Deatly Hallows Part 1 for the second time. I kinda disappointed with the movie because producers put all the action into the Part 2.

Dogukan,

"Limitless" with Bradley Cooper - highly recommend it!

Posted by: El Marto Apr 29 2011, 04:15 PM

How about the action in the dancing scene?

Posted by: thefireball Apr 29 2011, 04:20 PM

I've been watching a lot of Andy Griffith Shows on Netflix. They are on instant right now.

Memento. It has a very original montage.

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Apr 29 2011, 08:53 PM

Zeitgeist 3 was the last I watched. It's OK, nothing special, tho I like the way it is edited.

Before that, not sure, I watched lots of movies last couple of months, and rarely I could find something that I liked, new movies are terrible..

Posted by: Mr T Apr 30 2011, 09:17 AM

I find most movies mediocre at best, so I've become more selective in what I actually watch. Unless I'm tired and I want to turn of my brain, then I'll watch something with lot's of explosions

Best movie I saw the last couple of months would have to be 127 hours. I really liked that one.

Posted by: Ben Higgins Apr 30 2011, 10:04 AM

I watched that for the first time a few weeks ago.. very weird isn't it ?

The last movie I watched was RED, with Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovitch and Helen Mirren... it's about these retired assassins showing the young guns how it's done. Really good. It's sort of an action comedy.. almost like 'The Whole 9 Yards' but less silly and more violent

Hobo with a Shotgun

Posted by: El Marto Apr 30 2011, 11:47 AM

I saw that one too, recently. What did you think of it?

Posted by: Fran Apr 30 2011, 03:18 PM

Great, I'm taking note of all those movies to watch them Keep them coming!

Posted by: The Uncreator Apr 30 2011, 03:40 PM

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
The Girl Who Played With Fire
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest


Swedish films which are some of the best I have seen in a long, long time. Warning though, they are graphic - but the journey is stupendous. First set of films to really stand out in a while.

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Apr 30 2011, 04:35 PM

I recently watched "Source Code" and "Limitless". No great moves but Limitless was kind of fun.
I'm currently in a mood of watching TV series like Friends etc )

Posted by: El Marto Apr 30 2011, 05:12 PM

I've read 2 of the books. Now I'm trying to find the 3 films. I'd like to see them very much.

Posted by: Gitarrero May 1 2011, 09:32 AM

I watched Sucker Punch, definitely recommend it. Great action scenes, nice girls and the story is much better than most people say it is.
I also watched Battle: LA and was totally disappointed, really boring movie I have to say.

Posted by: zen May 1 2011, 09:44 AM

I wish I was drunk when I watched it but I wasn't .. No idea why it is being given good reviews all around.

Oh, and the worst 2 hours that i recently spent was when I watched Kings speech.

Still waiting for a movie that has the WOW factor. Hasn't happened in a long time.

Posted by: Ben Higgins May 1 2011, 10:47 AM

Yeah, that movie was everywhere but there's nothing about it that makes me want to watch it.. I guess I'll catch it on tv a few years from now !

I agree about the WOW factor.. I don't think there's been a decent action thriller since the Bourne series. Nothing's ever going to top them !

I recently watched Snowpiercer, a great movie, i recomand

Watched the new robocop movie, wasn't bad...

Posted by: waynedcoville May 5 2014, 10:13 PM

Trying to train my wife to like StarWars. We're on Empire but she's still not sold.

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic May 5 2014, 10:35 PM

Watched recently Divergent and as I'm not really a fan of the genre (Hinger Games), I was pleasantly surprised the movie was fun

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi May 6 2014, 01:44 AM

I watched "Last Vegas" and I really had fun with it. It also has a nice message.

Posted by: Todd Simpson May 6 2014, 02:29 AM

So many bad movies these days it seems. The last movie that I watched and actually liked was probably "LOOPER".

Actually well written and fast paced. Interesting storyline and fun twists.



The only other one that comes to mind is FOURTH ESTATE about wikileaks founder.

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic May 6 2014, 11:24 PM

I also liked the 12 Years A Slave movie, but it is a bit difficult in theme.

Heard recommendations for the movie The Railway Man, I'm planning to watch it soon.
Since I liked the old movie called "The Bridge On The River Kwai", this one should have the similar vibe.

Also, recently seen The Book Thief - very interesting movie.

Posted by: AK Rich May 7 2014, 05:51 AM

I haven't seen any new movies lately, but today I was off from working due to rain, so me and my lady watched the last 2 Star Trek flicks on blu-ray. We are eagerly awaiting the new Godzilla movie coming soon. I love every Godzilla flick ever made no matter how cheesy they are.

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic May 18 2014, 11:14 PM

I have seen recently Dallas Buyers Club and it was a very good movie.
A bit hard theme and drama but really well done and worth seeing.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi May 19 2014, 12:54 AM

I liked it! I have seen this one some days ago:



It's a cool documentary about New York music and art in 1977. Punk, Disco & Hip Hop explosions...

Posted by: Hexabuzz May 19 2014, 03:21 AM

I LOVE Godzilla movies!

Have you seen "GodZilla:Final Wars" from 2004? It was done as a 50th anniversary movie, and it's great, plus the soundtrack is done by Keith Emerson from Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.

Posted by: Ben Higgins May 19 2014, 10:48 AM

RED 2 is a good laugh.. plus it's got an unbelievably sexy Porsche Carrera GTS in it

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic May 19 2014, 04:40 PM

Talking about the car, the other day I was watching a movie (can't remember the title now ) and its an action flick.
Guy going all over the city to stop bombs etc (Die Hard 3 knockoff script). In all the running around, the main action hero needs to stop a car and from all the cars he could have stopped he gets some kind of custom, old school muscle car (like Ford Mustang ). I was 'cmon - this is so predictable. It happens every time!

Speaking of Die Hard 3, I love the action scene where John McClane jumps into a Yugo car and it runs so badly. It is a Serbian made car and it IS a bad very car

This is what Top Gear did with it :

Posted by: Ben Higgins May 19 2014, 06:20 PM

Yeah, that wouldn't happen... if anyone used an old school Mustang to get anywhere fast they would smash into the nearest lampost as soon as they tried a fast corner !!

Unless that person was Steve McQueen !

The last movie I watched that I can remember was Django Unchained (2nd time), that movie is awesome!

Right now, I'm all into Game of Thrones season 4. Also, there is a hilarious show that comes on HBO called Silicon Valley. Really that is all the TV I watch, Ghost Adventures on Saturday night, Game of Thrones on Sunday Night and Silicon Valley which I record and watch when I can.

Posted by: Ulrik May 20 2014, 04:14 PM

Haven't been to the cinema in a long time, but these are what I saw lately on Danish TV, they are a couple of years old.


An ok movie to watch once. And Petyr Baelish is up to no good :



And one more Statham, If you just want some action:



I recommend this one:

Posted by: Spock May 20 2014, 06:21 PM

Here's a scene from Silicon Valley that had me in tears I was laughing so hard...

I watched Willow Creek at the weekend, Its a Blairwitch project meets Bigfoot type of movie. Usually this sort of movie is totally my sort of thing but my advice is to avoid it like the plague

Posted by: Spock May 29 2014, 07:48 PM

Speaking of Bigfoot, Les Stroud aka (Survivorman) is going to be doing a special Bigfoot expedition. I watched an episode that got him interested in the subject, as he was a complete skeptic up until that one expedition he took.

I'm looking forward to it.

SURVIVORMAN BIGFOOT: A BRAND NEW 2-PART SPECIAL FOR SCIENCE CHANNEL US, DISCOVERY CHANNEL US, and TRAVEL & ESCAPE IN CANADA

During the making of Survivorman Alaska in 2009, SURVIVORMAN LES STROUD experienced his first possible Bigfoot encounter.

“The strangest thing happened…I was making my grass matt and all of a sudden a deep and very loud grunting noise about fifty yards away brought me to my feet and put the hairs up on the back of my neck. It repeated five times and I have to say it sounded…just like a large gorilla…”
Les acknowledged the experience, but didn’t speak publicly about it until February 2011. In an interview with 93.3 KZOZ, hosts Jeff and Jeremy In The Morning asked if Les had ever had a Bigfoot encounter. Les unexpectedly opened up about his Alaskan encounter. “It sounded like a big ape, that’s all I can tell ya’. The interview has been viewed over 250,000 times since.
This interview sparked thousands of Les Stroud fans from around the world to weigh in on the Bigfoot debate. Fans described their own Sasquatch encounters via email, letters and social media and demanded Les secure proof.
Overwhelmed by the response, Les has decided to uncover the truth. Joined by Bigfoot expert TODD STANDING, Les travels to two remote Bigfoot hot spots to debunk the myths that surround Bigfoot phenomena. TODD STANDING literally made international headlines with his incredible video footage and physical evidence of Bigfoot. Dozens of major networks and production companies have attempted to negotiate agreements with him. From the beginning, he has maintained his work is repeatable with the statement, “Don’t take my word for it, come with me and I will show you first-hand the reality of this species.”
For expeditions to yield any success, the search must be made by the most elite of wilderness experts who have the experience to film in the extreme conditions one can expect from the most remote locations.
Of the 7 billion people on the planet, only LES STROUD fits the criteria.

SURVIVORMAN BIGFOOT is a 2-part special airing on Travel & Escape Channel Wednesday, March 19th, 2014 at 10PM EST and Wednesday, March 26th, 2014 at 10PM EST. Discovery Channel US and Science Channel US have yet to release airdates. Stay tuned for more information.

Here he is on the Joe Rogan show talking about his 2nd experience...

Good call! I liked RED 2 as well I thought GRAVITY was a bit long and boring considering it won so many awards. The latest CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK (part III) was way cheeseball but fun

Also, POMPEI wasn't bad. It has the "Bastard Stark" guy from Game of Thrones. But you know how it ends Big volcano and everybody dies. It's like Titanic but with a Volcano

The new ROBOCOP wasn't bad. Wasn't great, but had some good action scenes. I like MONUMENTS MEN also, but the most enjoyable of many i've seen lately was JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT which is the prequel to all the Spy/Cia movies that starred Harrison Ford.



I am looking forward to the crazy action of PROTECTOR 2

Posted by: bleez May 30 2014, 08:36 PM

this sounds awesome Ive totally got to see this! I like Les Stroud he's way cool. I'll need to find it online because I doubt it will screen on UK TV. We only get that 'finding bigfoot' nonsense
thanks for the heads up about the show, I had no idea this had been made

*** EDIT ***
OOOH found it online, awesome!

Posted by: Ben Higgins May 31 2014, 07:30 AM

The last film I watched was WILD TARGET, with the always excellent Bill Nighy

Posted by: AK Rich May 31 2014, 07:30 PM

Oh man! How did I miss this one!? Looks great, I will seek it out for sure. Thanks!

Posted by: Gitarrero May 31 2014, 07:56 PM

I just watched Chernobyl Diaries...meh...it was pretty lame and finished as soon as it got interesting.
