I keep telling myself I should post more often in here.  These are the movies I've seen recently.

 

Gravity 6/10 - Shiny CG set pieces strung together with little plot or back-story. It heavily relies on Murphy's law just to keep the story moving.  It is a thrill ride, but left me empty when it was over.

 

Transformers: Dark of the Moon 4/10 - If you have seen the first two, this is more of the same.

 

The Boys from Brazil 3/10 - Hitler Clones!  Hitler Clones!!!  /rolls eyes

 

The Andromeda Strain 8/10 - A slow burn, perhaps even tedious at times.  Yet, I was never bored. 

 

Tucker & Dale vs Evil 8/10 - I put this off thinking I would hate it.  I was wrong.  Great twist to the "cabin in the woods" type movies.

 

Room 237 2/10 - Documentary about The Shining.  There were a few points that I found interesting, but for the most part it was bad.  Really REALLY bad.

 

Dredd 9/10 - One of the better action movies I've seen in some time.  It is no Blade Runner, but they created a world that I would love to see more of.

 

Sexy Beast 6/10 - Ben Kingsley is amazing in this.  The rest of the movie is very meh.

Elite Squad 1 & 2

 

Im just trying to learn portuguese quickly, but this movie was actually half decent.  Sadly, Rio do Janerio is as scary or even scarier than this movie makes it out to be.

Finally watched "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."  Much better than I anticipated.  I'd give it a 9/10.

 

Looking forward to the next installment.

I agree. This movie was terrific. Much better than I thought it would be.

Curse of Chucky

 

So nice to see a current horror movie use actual makeup effects instead of *just* CGI crap like most horror these days.  Be sure to stay until the credits are over for an extra scene that will please fans of the series.

[VariousCrap]

Sinister - Pretty good horror flick.  Ethan Hawke does a good job in it.  Good mystery and some decent jump scares.

 

Quarantine 2 - Really enjoyed the first one, but this one was horrible.

I've read a bunch of good reviews for this one.  They brought back the original director/writer for this one.  I might watch it this weekend.

Really enjoyed this one too.  Very funny.

Check out NEDS (Non-Educated Delinquents). A bit of a "huh?" on the ending, but overall a good movie.

Just finished watching season 4 of breaking bad.  Disk 1 and 2 of season 5 are on their way.  This show completely hooked me.

Insidious 2 - 8/10

 

Not too shabby.  It got me with some of the loud noises.  Better than the 1st.

Been watching Brew Dogs. They're hilarious.

Kevin Hart Let Me Explain

 

What's the bloody fuss?  He's the most overrated comedian since Dane Cook.  Figures that his fanbase consists of idiots that have "yolo," "swag", "twerk" and "cray" in their everyday vocabulary.

I agree. He isn't funny at all.

Saw gravity last night. I enjoyed it. One of those movies you kind of need to see in the theaters just for the experience on the big screen. It was one time viewing though. I don't think I would ever watch it again

[Stradling]

I watched Gravity and thought it should have been called Brevity. It was a very fast 90 minutes that ends rather abruptly.

The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete-10/10

 

Amazing film about two kids in Brooklyn who are forced to fend for themselves when Mister's mom is taken into custody. 

 

12 Years a Slave-10/10

 

This one will be getting a ton of nominations. Brutal film to watch but some amazing acting. The actor who plays Solomon Northup should win an oscar for his performance. For those that don't know this story, he is a black free man who is a musician and ends up in captivity in Louisiana as a slave. 

[Sam Sanchez]

I thought Gravity was a great disaster movie at its core. I liked the length of it, felt appropriate and concise. I feel like it would be pretty rewatchable, though I've only seen it once.

Been watching Brew Dogs. They're hilarious.

Good show for sure.

My wife was telling me she accidentally found a show about building tree houses. Said they were incredible, but she doesn't remember the time or the channel.

Anyone know about this show?

Treehouse Masters. I think it's on Animal Planet. It's one of those shows that I will stop and watch when flipping through channels.

Thanks. What day and time?

Google

Or ask the guy who knows about the show.
