What movies have you seen recently?

Colombiana - Pretty good action, though I was surprised by the lack of action in the second act. I thought the head FBI agent was hilarious and one of the worst FBI agents in any movie I've seen.

Spoiler

Seriously, this guy knew nothing and handled everything poorly. Apparently everybody in the world knew what the flower was except for him until a damn mail clerk told him. At the end when they're tracing her call he just barges in and takes the phone as if she wouldn't hang up. Moron.

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.

Not my fault!

1. I don't use Netflix.
2. Even if I did it'd be Netflix Canada.
3. I went to the local store to rent it.
4. They only had it on DVD.

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!

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (Again): I love this movie. Very entertaining film with plenty of comedy. One of my favorite Nicholas Cage roles.

Appaloosa: Good western. Great scenery and good characterization

Leatherheads: Felt too long and dragged quite a bit. Decent movie.

Never Back Down 2

I liked the first one, but had low expectations for this "sequel." Totally different cast. Basic and predictable plot. Decent acting, but pretty good fighting scenes. Worth a watch if you liked the first. 7/10

"The Hole"

Its a British film about 4 people getting locked in an abandoned war bunker for 18 days. I would recommend it for the simple fact that you see Keira Knightley's boobies.

What Doesn't Kill You

Good crime drama based on true events involving 2 friends Ethan Hawke and Mark Ruffalo set in South Boston. Not a great movie but it's a notch above your average crime movie, I would recommend it.

Four Brothers. Anything with Mark Wahlberg is good.
