What's the latest movie you've seen?

[Jester]

At work I watch a lot of odd things, but I watched Tough Guise at the recommendation of other members. I don't see the appeal. Maybe I'm crazy, but in my view, a 'good" documentary isn't just one person talking to camera, but that person performing interviews and talking about the issue of the film with other people, like minded or otherwise. It makes a movie seem very dry and biased because it's just one voice.

Also suffered through Jingle All The Way 2. Man....this whole "Sequel 20ish Years Later" trend needs to die....as do movies with Larry the Cable Guy.

Ok, I checked it out and I see Chris Farley has done a movie called Black Sheep. I never knew about that, and thought you were talking about this one http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0779982/?ref_=nv_sr_2

[Candy Kappa]

I though so too...

THAT Black Sheep movie is amazing

[AT-Man]

I recall it was alright.

Saw Housebound yesterday. So far it seems like New Zealanders can do no wrong when it comes to horror/comedy.

Justice League:War.


Very good movie and I only picked it up for a dollar. I'll probably get Son Of Batman next.

Saw Dumb & Dumber To I thought it was funny Laughed more than when I saw Anchorman 2. Dumb To was the sequel Anchorman 2 should have been actually funny.

Ah, sorry to hear it wasn't your thing, dude. I suppose it's worth pointing out that it was intended to be an educational film for students as well; given that the guy who made it is a lecturer and mentor, it probably explains why he did it in that particular style. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word 'documentary' to have described it, so that's probably my bad.

I didn't even know there was a Jingle All The Way 2... and now I'm very very scared. Two unsatisfactory movies in one day; dude, you are a glutton for punishment.

[AT-Man]

Tusk. Kevin Smith's worst movie by far, just another Human Centipede and boring as hell. The beginning was promising and I hoped the movie would be entertaining, which it wasn't.

[Jester]

Jumping on the "Lets make a super bad movie and make all the monies" band wagon of Sharknado and its sequel, there's Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever.

EDIT: The movie is trying way to hard to be meta. And yet here I sit. What's wrong with me?

That's funny, "Son of Batman" is the last thing I watched, I picked it up Saturday. It's okay; it follows the trend of the newer DC animated films that have the New 52 vibe, by being more about the over-the-top action than characterization and plot, but the action itself is good. Parts of the story are cringe-worthy bad, though...

Spoiler:

The main plot is that Deathstroke assassinates Ra's al Ghul and takes over the League of Assassins and kidnaps Talia, so Damien ends up in Gotham City under Batman's care trying to find out where Deathstroke is and where he's taken his mother. He goes around kicking the sh*t out of tons of criminals and tries to kill most of them, all in the name of finding Deathstroke, and finally... he simply realizes that Deathstroke most likely took Talia to one of the main League fortresses and is waiting for him and Batman there. So basically, the bad guy kills your grandfather and assumes control of all of his operations and property, you go halfway across the world looking for him and try to kill many people while in search of answers, and then you suddenly realize, "Wait, he's probably hanging out at the summer house"? Why wasn't that the FIRST thing that came to the kid's mind, when he was raised among the League, was intimately educated on their operations, and knew exactly where the f*cking place was? Like, he SO knew where the place was, that when he gets sent the latitude and longitude of the place on his smartphone, he smashes it in rage rather than even bothering to write the numbers down, so clearly he knew exactly where this place was, making the entire middle of the film pointless. He should have just gone there in the first place. It's just... a REALLY badly written story, but the action stuff is fun and surprisingly violent, lots of blood all around.

In summation, the writing and especially a lot of the dialog were really awful (please stop talking, Deathstroke. PLEASE), but the action was good. I wish these things were longer, keeping them around 75 minutes is a huge disservice to the story, every time.

See my previous comment - I think you're a glutton for punishment. Either that or there's some sort of masochistic thing going on.

I'm telling ya, man... you've gotta throttle back. Sure, you start out innocently enough, just punishing yourself with bad movies. But before you know it, it's not enough and you're kneeling in some torture dungeon with clothespins on your nipples while someone calling herself The Mistress of Pain forces you to rub Ben-Gay into your scrotum.

Ah c'mon. At least let him get through "Teenage Catgirls In Heat" before he calls it quits.

J/K! That movie's like a suicide pill, don't do that to yourself. C'mon.

[Mandy Chan]

Last movie I saw at the Cinema was TMNT. Lately I re watched Blue Sky's Epic.

[Davetello]

Just seen Leo, Snake and Mandy's posts. Funnily enough Son of Batman and TMNT were the last films I watched

Son of Batman is pretty good but it started to drag towards the end.

[Candy Kappa]

Cockneys vs. Zombies.

Not as good as Shaun of the Dead, but a pretty entertaining romp of a zombie flick.

Read some reviews on amazon. The opening sequence is apparently ridiculous and one reviewer called it "The Best Comedy I've Seen In Years". I'm oddly looking forward to it.


Rewatching war really showed some of its faults, Wonder Woman acts waaaay too much like Teen Titans Starfire, I'm not too big on Batman's voice actor, and Billy Batson/Captain Marvel is such a little sh*t in the movie. He sneaks into a football game and steals stuff. No consequences whatsoever.

[TMNTFOREVA]

Last movie I saw was Mockinjay Part One. It was so cool!

Yeah, that's partly why I didn't care for "War". Everyone in the New 52 is such a jerk and I really hated their portrayal in that movie since it's pretty much the same thing. Batson being a perfect example.

watched "bullet to the head"... and i'm pulling a thumper here and not going to say anything at all...

[shuriken]

Holy s**t was that movie disturbing. It's one of those movies I really enjoy. I just never wanna watch it again.
