It sure was! As much as I hate Sean Penn, I can't say he did a bad job in that movie. And Brolin was awesome, as always.Quote:

Watched "The Purge" yesterday. Not too bad for a future thriller.
So glad I didn't go see the latest die hard in the theater.
$.32 from redbox on blu-ray and I'm fairly certain I over paid.

Watched Savages tonight. That is the one where the US pot growers go up against the main Mexican cartel. I thought it was a pretty good movie.
Saw The Wolverine and Pacific Rim last night.
The Wolverine was a great addition to the X-men/Marvel universe. A little grittier this time, a little more edge, and toned down appropriately while still being over the top in a super hero movie fashion.
I absolutely LOVED Pacific Rim. Michael Bay had to have crapped his pants when he saw it. Great cast of lesser known folks, and they kept the proper scope so as not to quite lose the OO and AH factor as the movie carried on.
Oblivion was a decent Sci-Fi flick but fairly predictable. Good visuals.
Hangover 3 was less a comedy and more a dark action movie that just sort of wrapped everything up.
Watched a LOT of movies lately.
I had zero desire to see Pacific Rim, and am surprised to hear it was good.
I also heard that The Conjuring was a very scary movie.
Same here on both counts. The Conjuring is supposed to actually be scary and not all that gory at all. Most "horror" movies are just funny to me.Quote:

Just watched this last night- not sure if I'd say not bad, but it definitely was most certainly not good. I would say meh. I didn't love it, didn't hate it, but thinking 'what would I do in this situation?' and Mr. Hawke and Family didn't come close to what I would do. YMMV.Quote:

Also watched 42 this weekend. Really enjoyed it
Watched Dead Man Down last night, with the always beautiful Noomi Rapace (Prometheus), Colin Farrell, and Terrence Howard. Very good movie! Plenty of action and a really good story.
Likewise. It was a decently paced film that had a few twist. Looper turned out the same way for us. Wasn't expecting much but parts of it made you think, OK how can you resolve this issue.Quote:

I won't spoil it for you, it was good.
Concur. Just watched this last night. Great film. Noomi Rapace ftw.Quote:

I've been disappointed by almost every summer release so far. So I think I'll wait on it.Quote:

We also watched Side Effects. Good solid movie.
We also watched The Orphanage, Mama, and the new Evil Dead. I thought the girl from Suburgatory was great.
ETA: Just watched Beasts of the Southern Wild. I don't really know how to describe this movie. It is basically about a 6 year-old's struggle to live with her sick father in an area that gets destroyed by a hurricane. Overall, I really liked the movie and would recommend it.
Evil Dead: good, bad or horrible?Quote:

The only upcoming movie I'm excited/nervous about is "Ender's Game". It's been one of my favorite books since I first read it when I was about 12. I really hope they don't screw it up too badly....
Saw Oblivion the other night... WOW! I loved it! Tom Cruise is a great actor, and Olga Kurylenko... need I say more? Great story, awesome effects, and really well presented plot.
WHAT??!!Quote:

I happen to think he's a good actor- I don't let his politics get in the way of the escapism that movies provide... otherwise I'd only have Eastwood, Willis, and Wayne films to watch... and I would like some variety now and again. It is possible to watch a movie and enjoy it, despite the actor/director/producer being aligned opposite of your own beliefs. I can forget all that shit and just watch a movie. And yes, I think he's a good actor, that's my opinion, yours can totally be different.Quote:

Saw The Canyons with Lindsey Lohan. I can't describe how much you guys should not watch this movie. We watched it because it was supposed to be bad. It wasn't even bad in a fun way. Just plain BAD.
Lindsay is right leaning, refreshing unto itself.Quote:

if you've got a big SUV or pickups, and want to entertain kids on a sleep-over, they LOVED it... brought our Suburban, and some camp chairs... good food from the Snack bar- at reasonable prices!!
$5 for a large popcorn, $5.75 for a double bacon cheeseburger...

I just finished watching "Samsara", which is the successor to "Baraka". If it wasn't for the title, I'm not sure I'd know which of the two I was watching, they were essentially the exact same movie.
