The "What Movie Did You Just See?" thread RELOADED

[Rex Dopey24]

i was expecting that that one to be lame but it turned to be a good action movie and pretty good storyline. i am so buying that on dvd.

Young Adult. I really liked this. Charlize Theron and Patton Oswalt are totally great. Even though you like the character less and less, and the things she does get more and more uncomfortable as the movie goes on, it's a fully realized character, very well written and acted.

Looper. Great sci-fi and really well told story. Very bleak and violent vision of the future. For all the things going on with the plot, it spends a lot of time slowing down with the characters. Although Bruce Willis has about half the screen time as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, it's one of his best performances in a long time.

Disney's The Kid. Looper reminded me of this other movie I love, one of Bruce Willis' other films about meeting his younger self. It's a shameless feel-good movie, and I buy every minute of it every time I watch it. Very funny, sentimental, and poignant. For me this has one of the most touching scenes ever. Looper is the much better made film, but I think I actually like The Kid more, it's stayed with me for years.

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. I remember seeing parts of this when I was a kid. I don't think I ever had a desire to revisit it necessarily, but when you get Netflix streaming you end up watching a lot of stuff you wouldn't normally. This film has about two jokes they milk to death, funny at first, gets a bit old in the middle, but the climax is a lot of fun.

paranorman not a good movie and kinda corny too

I disagree. Paranorman was an awesome movie!

[stitchfanocala]

The Money Pit.


I freakin LOVE this movie! One of my many favorite Tom Hanks films, and many reasons why he's my favorite actor.

i guess my standards was too high.

RISE OF THE GUARDIANS -- Initially when I saw the trailers I was disgusted with the character designs. I was going, "man, when will Dreamworks make characters that don't look so generic?" But after talking to the director this evening he said they were based on the original book designs by William Joyce. I guess... that's more forgiveable. I guess.

Despite all that... it's a VERY well done film. There isn't anything I found flat out amazing or that hilarious but it was entertaining all around and should be a hit for the entire family this holiday season.

Oh and make sure you stay through the credits as there's more stuff halfway in. Nothing at the very end.



If I had to do an early pick right now, I like Wreck-It Ralph more but I think Rise of the Guardians is more of an Oscar contender. Your opinions may vary.

Continuing the Scary Movie Marathon:

Scream 3

I think this is the most obvious of "who is it" in the entire trilogy but it's still a fun movie.

Hellraiser

Still great after all these years. I always forget how little pinhead is actually in this one.

Shaun of the Dead

Wanted to watch a funny halloween movie and there is none better than this. So funny and so well done.

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers

I actually think this is my 2nd favorite in the series (after the original) and I think it's very underrated.

Dead Snow

^ LOVE Dead Snow!!!

The Burbs...1989...brings back memories. I was 13 when I saw this movie.

Finished up the Halloween movies last night:

Dracula: Dead and Loving It

Wanted a funny one while the MIL was here. Has a few laughs but is far from Mel Brooks best.

Halloween 5: The Curse of Michael Myers

Not as good as 4, but still entertaining and better than some of the later ones in the series.

Rocky Horror Picture Show

Love this so much, takes away some of the "punch" of it when you are watching it at home though.

Trick r Treat

This was my first time seeing this, not sure how that happened. Absolutely loved it. Creepy and kind of scary. Well done!!

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

Still a classic in every way. They just don't make them like this anymore.

I like the Robot Chicken version.

The Burbs...1989...brings back memories. I was 13 when I saw this movie.

I was an extra in The Burbs. Was incredibly fun to work on and Carrie Fisher and Tom Hanks were awesome to work with. Really enjoy how it came out.

On Blu-Ray:

Moonrise Kingdom - So good! Another Wes Anderson classic! Feels a little like Up! and War of the Buttons put together. Hope this gets some awards early next year.
