What movies have you seen recently?

Pink Flamingos

I don't even...
It was either hilarious,bad or hilariously bad...possibly all of the above at once.
Well I'm sure Matt Stone and Trey Parker have seen this.

Never back down 2.

Some occasional cringe worthy moments but some decent fight scenes, a fair few UFC fighter cameo's and some hot women made it watchable for me. I'd never willingly watch it again or buy it but it was a decent way to pass an hour and half. 6.5/10 from me.

Dog Day Afternoon

Yet another classic film I had never seen. Great film that takes place primarily in one location.

The first ten minutes I was wondering how in the world they managed to make this work for 2 hours. Then Al Pacino's character just gets hit with one thing after the other. It's pretty funny early on what he goes through.

I watched that for the first time about 4 or 5 months ago. I was pretty surprised at how great of a film it is despite how little I have heard about it, especially considering it is probably Pacino's second greatest role.

I thought it was fascinating how well this movie transformed from a comedic bank robbery into something that ended up very seriously. It was nicely paced and the transition was so gradual you don't even notice.

Yeah, I found myself laughing quite a bit early on and immediately thought the film was a mockery of a bank heist. I didn't notice it, but at some point I realized I wasn't laughing anymore and the film was mostly serious. Really enjoyed it.

First time I really heard about it was in film school and many kept telling me how great it was. Glad I finally watched it.

By the way, which do you consider to be his greatest role? I'm assuming as Michael Corleone in Godfather.

So I finally got to rent Super from Netflix - no thanks to everyone else renting it!

Entertaining film for me. Not really funny or dramatic, but kind of felt like a coming-of-age story for an adult.

Ellen Page is great in this as the sidekick and is probably the only female I can look at and not care that she has absolutely no curves.

The ending really sold me on bumping this from a 3 to a 4/5. I expected they'd go with the predictable, but instead did a few different things.

Michael Corleone, for sure.

Curves or no she looked great in that outfit!
