What's the Last Movie You Watched?

Fantastic Four.

Definitely the best of the FF4 movies.  I'd give it a B/B+.

I thought they did a great job with Silver Surfer and Galactus.  Thing was well done, too. All of the special effects were spot on; I didn't feel taken out of the movie at all.

There was relatively little action overall, which led to some dull moments.  I didn't love the chemistry of the team overall.  Sue seemed overpowered, and Reed didn't strike me as the smartest guy in the world.  I miss Chris Evans as Johnny.

Overall, it's definitely watchable.  It will be interesting to see what happens in the next Avengers movie.

Has anyone seen Freaky Tales?  I caught the end of it last night, with a fictional story based around Sleepy Floyd's record breaking 4th quarter against the Lakers in the 1987 playoffs.  In turns into a full on Uma Thurman in Kill Bill vengeance martial arts killing spree.  Pretty bizarre, but kind of well done for what they were going for.  I haven't seen the rest of the movie, but apparently there are 4 similar type stories all based in Oakland.

Finally got around to seeing F1. Very enjoyable theater experience.

It hit all the sports movies tropes and didnt deviate from the classic formula that all those types of movies seem to stick to - the main character is a grizzled old verteran well past his glory days who comes in and clashes with the cocky young buck with a big ego, but ultimately they bond while working towards a common goal and become friends in the process and yada yada yada. The characters and story werent complex or deep and didnt need to be. This movie knew what it was and wasnt really trying to say anything of substance - and thats OK.

The Monkey was actually good

Saw the entire movie on the plane. A little out there with the stories, but the soundtrack and vibe was on point. It?s not a movie I?d pay money to watch but if you are into indie movies and is open mind by not selecting a safe movie, this could work. I?d give a C- but I can definitely see people getting into this movie.

Saw Caught Stealing in theaters.

Loved it and personally thought it was probably the 2nd best movie Darren Aronofsky has directed.

1. The Wrestler
2. Caught Stealing
3. Requiem For A Dream
4. The Whale
5. The Fountain
6. Mother
7. Black Swan

Havent seen Pi or Noah.

I just watched Devil on Campus.  It's not a great movie.  It *is* a disturbing real-life story.

I was involved in Larry Ray's underlying legal cases early in my career.  The dude is perhaps the most manipulative man I've ever met.  Pure evil.

The Long Walk

It?s the second Stephen King adaptation Ive enjoyed this year - the other being ?The Life Of Chuck.?

Fairly predictable, but still very engaging. Definitely worth checking out.

Spinal Tap II was very good. Not a ton of people in the theater,  but everybody there was laughing. Nice vibes, haven't experienced that in years.

I saw it, too.  They changed a few things from the book, but it got the message across.

I saw it last night.  It was a little hokey, but they did a good enough job with the concept.  I had no idea the Sargent guy was Mark Hamil!

Spinal Tap 2 was way better than I thought it would be.  I think they did a smart thing taking a sentimental approach.  Plenty of laughs.  Some excellent cameos too. I really love Rob Reiner.

Im curious: Does anyone plan on seeing One Battle After Another?

I?m torn. On one hand, Leo is one of my all time favorite actors. Even some of his lesser movies are good just due to the sheer magnetism he brings. On the other hand, I am seemingly one of the only people on earth who does not enjoy Paul Thomas Andersons movies. I find mostly all of them - with the exception of The Master and There Will Be Blood - to be disjointed, convoluted, and excruciatingly boring.

I will probably end up seeing it, but with tempered expectations.

I don't even remember the plot, but I remember that I loved Magnolia for some reason.  I also liked Boogie Nights, Punch Drunk Love and There Will Be Blood.  I don't think I've seen anything else since then.
