    Re: What movies have you seen recently?

    Sigh, where to begin?

    Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
    Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
    Tangled
    Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
    The Help
    Warrior


    I enjoyed all of these movies, but probably Warrior the most.

    As far as the HP films, I rank them in this order:

    8, 5, 2, 7, 3, 1, 6, 4

      Saw Immortals at the theater a few weeks ago...freaking awesome movie. Definitely gives 300 a run for its money.

        I watched Taken last night. I must admit that I have seen this before but damn, this movie should just be called 'Liam Neeson Gettin' His'.

          Gave it 3/5.

          It kept me interested in knowing what would happen next, but there was no real threat in the film.

          Kind of felt like the guy was just living a high from beginning to end with just a few little hang ups here and there.

          Would have been more interesting if
          Spoiler
          It was a bad movie for me. My wife and I started it and I fell asleep. Two nights later we finished it and the same happened. It just didn't pull me in at all.
          Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

            Seen Warrior, The Help and Moneyball in the last week. All very good films and recommend to watch.

            I really liked Moneyball especially. We never really seen the business side through a gm's eyes and thought that was really interesting. We've seen it with college movies and recruiting but not so much with the pros. Would love to see a football or basketball done through a similar fashion.

              How To Train Your Dragon - I think I liked this more the second time than the first, which considering how much I liked it to begin with is saying something. I really, really love the Toothless flying scenes. They are magical and visually stunning. The background locations are photorealistic and really like the style and personality they give to the dragons. I also really enjoy the ending. It's not your typical kids' movie ending, but I think its message is stronger for it.

                Moneyball- Simply put, it was excellent. The best movie I have seen from 2011. Pitt was great, as was (somewhat surprisingly) Jonah Hill in his role. Great story, and it was adapted well. Bonus that it was a sports-movie. Highly recommended. The only 5/5 I have given this (last) year.

                The Debt- About Rachel Singer. It has the guy from Avatar (can't think of his name) and Helen Mirren in it. It was pretty good and about what I expected. Nothing fantastic, but worth a watch. 3.5/5

                  Saw Source Code. Thought it was pretty damn interesting and a very enjoyable movie. Wouldn't say I was blown away or anything, but I can certainly see myself watching this again.

                    In Time. It was alright. Interesting premise: time replaces money as the currency. It tried to be too many genres of movies in one and just didn't come together for me. Worth a rental.

                        It just makes me happy knowing that we have the right actor to play Bane.

                          Moneyball. Awesome movie, even if you are just a casual baseball fan. A must see for sports fans.

                            Yep, saw this too. Would recommend it to anyone, even if they are not baseball fans.

                              FYI: www.gohastings.com has their 30% off used and previously viewed DVDs and blu rays sale again. Promo code is ZANY

                              Maximize your savings by getting box sets or blu rays in the $12-20+ range.

                              Shipping is $2.28 on EACH item so best to get the big ticket stuff and wait for a RARE free shipping sale for the cheap titles.

                              Also, USED is better than Previously Viewed. USED= trade ins, PV= former rentals (Both come in a blu ray case and cover art.)

                              Picked up:
                              Kung Fu Panda Collection
                              Back to the Future Trilogy
                              Captain America

                              The Tom Cruise collection (5 movies including Minority Report) would come out to $18 shipped. I paid $30 on Amazon.
