What was the last movie you watched? - Page 109

"Conan OBrien Can't Stop", a documentary about his tour after he was fired from the Tonight Show. Really doesn't paint Conan in the most sympathetic light, he comes off as a bit of a jerk at times, which I guess all famous people are.

Funny movie, but nothing spectacular. There was never really that moment where Conan realizes how grateful he is to do what he does for a living, instead he whines about having to shake too many hands and kiss too many babies. I like the guy but he does come off as a whiner rather than a sympathetic figure.

If you like Sci Fi thrillers, you will like this one.

Rango
I liked it a lot.

Killer Elite
Okay movie, if you don't have anything else to do.

Tried to watch the The Debt but the fake accents put me off in 10 minutes....

watched the girl with the dragon tattoo. im in a small college town and i was the only one in the theatre for a thu night 8pm show. it was a big letdown after all the hype. i wont spoil it for ones who didnt watch it but the end was anti-climactic (what happens to the killer) and the last 15 mins were completely unnecessary.

I watched True Grit a few days ago, its pretty good.

The movie is about a homicidal tire (yes, a murdering tire). From the trailer, I expected a fun movie but I was disappointed. Instead of focusing on the comedy, the movie tries hard to be profound and in my opinion does not succeed.

Something about corporate meltdown, starring KevinSpacy. Not normally something I'd like, but it was intriquing and well acted. DemiMoore possibly did not belong in the cast.

Margin Call???

Just shows you how loss of memory due to advancing age can catch up to us...yes, MarginCall.
I wanted to see Cowboys vs Alien, the mental midget I am, but S/O wanted something a little more intellectually stimulating.

Coulda suggested Jack and Jill. Sorta like Hamlet if he had a twin sister.

Thanks for the tip. Looking forward to it in March.

Hot Tub Time Machine. Obviously not Citizen Kane, but take it for what it is and it's enjoyable and funny. Ending was a bit too cheesy for my likes.

Agassi-Fan · 01-21-2012, 08:12 PM

I watched "the warrior" earlier this week. That movie was just awesome all around. Tom Hardy is the man, and he is actually a tough guy in real life as well.

I rented "Ides of March" today and wasn't too impressed. Wasn't too much going on with the story line so I felt my attention drifting.

adamX012 · 01-22-2012, 06:17 PM

I am watching "wedding crashers". Super, at this time of night. Love it.

The Other Guys, might be an old movie but still funny to me.

"Gator's B**ches better be using jimmies"

Were they selling a very ancient hotdog left over from decades ago?

See the HBO film "Too Big To Fail". Much, much better and true too.

Rattler · 01-28-2012, 06:25 PM

Red Tails....no character development, which is a shame because there were a lot, a lot of talented actors....didn't really do much justice to the Tuskeegee airmen....might as well have been animated.

ChuDat · 01-30-2012, 02:04 PM

Saw Man on a Ledge recently. Story was so-so, mostly payed attention to Genesis Rodriguez(when she was on camera)
