Getting a non-Trekker to go to a Trek movie, that is a feat in itself! Good job!

My Trek hating fiance lives in another state (long story). I wish we could have seen it together. She did say since there was no Shatner she may have to give it a shot.

Ashangelo · 05-11-2009, 10:35 PM

I just finished watching The Wrestler.
Really loved it.

Peanut · 05-13-2009, 06:04 AM

Just got done watching Fanboys. A fairly redundant road trip movie, but I'll be damned if I didn't love it. I plan to make my girlfriend watch it, just to feel satisfied when she doesn't get the jokes. I love being more of a complete loser than other people in that regard.

*Brodie* · 05-13-2009, 11:27 AM

That movie has so many subtle in-jokes, its great.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 05-13-2009, 11:02 PM

going to see Star Trek tomorrow night

This thread is for movies you have already seen. As in, perfect tense. You're not contributing anything by posting about movies you can't have an opinion on yet.

Fast & Furious. It was dumb as hell, but still good for a few laughs.

*gobo* · 05-14-2009, 04:31 PM

True, that it makes for a dull post if you don't give an opinion on the movie, but it wasn't all too long ago that even regulars would come through, say what they've recently watched, and that was their entire post. Now, those were some worthless posts... on-topic, but not at all helpful.

So... umm... I went to see Battle For Terra 3D tomorrow.

I just knew I will like it.

Peanut · 05-14-2009, 11:11 PM

I just watched Kung-Fu Panda and absolutely loved it. Such a great little movie.

*Spitfire* · 05-15-2009, 12:14 AM

I just watched the Hulk VS movies. I really liked the Wolverine one. I enjoyed all the characters in it and even though it re-told his origins I thought they did a good job. The animation is stellar and I liked the voice acting. Also it was pretty brutal for a PG-13 film.

The Thor side wasn't too interesting to me. I just didn't like it. Could be because I don't like or know much about Thor. I also noticed the violence was toned down, makes me wonder if the ratings board only saw the Thor half of the feature lol.

All in all pretty surprising. I've been skipping the Marvel features but watching this peaked my interest in the others they've done.

Don't let it peak your interest. Hulk vs Wolverine is probably the only worthwhile thing to come out of the animated Marvel features, especially animation-wise. The Ultimate Avengers stuff isn't awful, but it's definitely ranks below the 90's Marvel cartoons. The rest of the stuff isn't even worth thinking about watching.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 05-15-2009, 11:20 AM

Star Trek in IMAX last night.

I know absolutely nothing about Star Trek but the names Kirk and Spock, nothing else. I used to see the credits before Wheel of Fortune as a kid. That's how familiar I am with it. That being said...

This movie was fantastic. It definitely lived up to the massive hype. I'll probably go see it again because there was so much going on that I feel like I missed stuff. Great film.

**Jester** · 05-15-2009, 11:29 AM

Watched Fanboys last night. Learned I need to watch the Star Wars movies a few more times.

Yeah. I saw that a while back and it was better than I expected:
'I was, uh, dreaming about...noodles'
*Gasp* 'You had the noodle dream!'

I'd also seen enough Jet Li films to find it funny that they had the character Master Shifu (which translates as Master Master/Teacher)

Thanks for the heads up. How about the shows like the new X-men show and Spider-man are they any good? I was gonna check out X-men but the copy of season 1 I got was all in Spanish.

*The Stryker* · 05-15-2009, 01:33 PM

Spectacular Spider-man is Great.

Wolverine and the X-men is not as good but thats not a knock at all.

*cqb101* · 05-15-2009, 02:05 PM

I've really been enjoying Wolverine and the X-Men. I love their use of "b-list" characters.

Haven't watched Spectacular Spider-Man.

Spectacular Spider-Man is the single best animated Marvel production ever. Cartoons, DTV movie, whatever. It's also some of the best Spider-Man anything in a long long time.

Wolverine and the X-Men is good, but it isn't great. The animation isn't fantastic, but the story and characterizations are decent. The plot gets wonky here and there, but it's still a lot of fun.

*Raph's Girl* · 05-15-2009, 03:30 PM

Just got back from seeing "Angels vs Demons" the sequel (originally prequel) to "The Da Vinci Code". Pretty good film. Not quite as good as "Da Vinci Code" but still good. Only a couple differences between the movie and the book. The main one was the references to the events in Da Vinci Code.

Spoiler:

which isn't found in the book since that came out before Da Vinci Code. Twas nice to see all the artwork.... Raphael's tomb, the Sistine chapel, and a bunch of other Raphael stuff.

*Mecha Cow* · 05-15-2009, 05:08 PM

Finally got a chance to see the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven. It's been years since I saw the theatrical cut, but I remember disliking it while I really enjoyed this version.
