Just watched a movie ? let us know what you just watched with a simple watch, Avoid or if your bored next to it.

Lets face it people dont have the same taste in movies but its pretty simple to work out if you wanna watch it, the Watch or avoid is just a guideline to that genre, so if you like the genre then you will like the movie more than likely.

i'll start

today i watched

Finders Fee - Mystery Indie movie - Watch for sure

Red Eye - Thriller - Only if your bored ( though cillian murphy is creepy :D )


carry it on :D

Little Miss Sunshine

Saw the movie about a week ago, it's a very well-done movie that features a hapless, rather distanced family trying to get to a beauty pageant for the seven year old daughter of the family. The acting is very good, especially by Steve Carrell who shows that he can be a drama man as well as the funniest man ever with his role as the suicidal uncle that has experienced a lot of things in his life. Greg Kinnear is great also as the father of a family with severe financial problems and just trying to get by.

Children of Men

Very depressing movie, yet inspiring and hopeful. I liked the take on the dystopian future and the storyline overall. The acting is all very, very strong by every actor. What I liked most about the movie was that it was very real, and instead of focusing on an overall political message on what should happen, it went straight to the pro-life message.

Just saw Night at the Museum, and thought it was very funny, although I thought the ending was rushed. Apart from that well worth a look.:D

Nightmare before christmas.

Quirky animation at its very best. Everyone should watch this at least once.

A Midsummer Nights Dream (Modern adaption)

A surprisingly good film, based upon Shakespeare's classic, but adapted for a modern audience it stars Christian Bale, Kevin Kline, and Stanley Tucci among others. Worth a watch if you're bored, or a fan of Shakespeare and old English Language.

Night at the Museum

Above average comedy caper starring Ben Stiller, with appearences from Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan, and Dick Van Dyke. Ranges from very funny, to not funny at all, but works ok as a piece of light entertainment.

Finally got to see Déja Vu 2 days ago, and I'll admit its a breath of fresh air when you get a movie that requires you to think ahead and in the past, and question whats going on :)

Denzel as always, on top form.

ok i watched a few movies heh so here goes

In Pursuit of Happyness ( yes typo but its spelt that way for a reason ) Will Smith is a brilliant actor, no one can really deny that, he chooses really good roles that suit his RL character and intrests, The movie was not overly accurate to the true story but as a movie it was extreely well made and very tear jerking at times, i even had tears in my eyes in places.
Casting his RL son works perfect as u really feel the bond between them. DEFFINETLY WATCH IT if u get chance, Oh at the end watch out for the man in the suit that passes Will smith, thats the guy the movie is based on :)


Night at a Museum, was good for what it was, a kids movie essentially, ben stiller is good as he usually is in that type of role, 24 Fans look out for kim reaver aka Audrey in 24. Very Predictable but enjoyable non the less. Watch it to pass some time

Snake Eyes ( on TV over xmas ) Seen this long ago, i think its a great movie, they kinda give it away to quick but the camera work and script works well, if you like nic cage watch it for sure.

6TH DAY ( on sky at xmas ) Pretty fun arnie movie, the playful banter between him and his clone is funny as they are preparing to save the day. as always with arnie movies, a time wasting movie for sure.

Hollow Man ( on Tv also over xmas ) I love this movie for 1 reason only, Kevin Bacon, he can act for sure, i love it when he plays a character that goes through a dramitic change on screen ( stir of echoes comes to mind as another ). Apprently there is some deep message in this movie about obbession with work so i hear from everyone who has seen it, but its just a thriller movie to me :D and a good one. Bypass the sequel tho with Christian slater as its dire.

i think thats it lol, pretty sure i seen more but cant think, watching donnie brasco in bed later so heh might comment later on that who knows.

Come on yall seen movies over the xmas period lets fill this thread some more

Eragon - Good bit of escapism, if a bit flawed.

Requiem For A Dream - Cinematically awesome, excellent screenplay and a dark bleak plot to match. Pure class.

The Man - Flippin' hilarious.

Eragon- As a movie, it is meh.
As a recreation of the book, it is the biggest load of crap i've ever seen.

The Pursuit of Happyness- Great movie, I love that it doesn't portray the stock brokers as mean guys, they are just like normal people. Very inspirational and good feeling film, makes you wanna go volunteer at a homeless shelter :)

Eragon:

God that move was eh. I don't think they could have fit in more star wars parallels if they tried. Rather predictable too. Some parts I thought moved too fast and a couple areas dragged. Only see it if you feel like watching a movie and there's nothing else playing.

Yep i saw the Girl Next Door as well, watched it with my girlfriend, good laugh, and surprisngly well done for an american teen film i agree with the Dog. Great soundtrack in places, Elliot Smith and Echo and the Bunnymen ftw!

Before that we watched Johnny English again, its silly, but so very very funny. :P

oh yeah, forgot to mention the soundtrack.. i especially liked "teenage wasteland" "lucky man" and "this years love"


Teenage Wasteland was fantastic. As i said the other highlights for me were Elliot Smith (forget which song), and Echo and the Bunnymen (Killing Moon).

hehe, ill have to look into that, but after xmas ill be ordering the dvd of this, i loved it so much =)

Van Helsing

Highly amusing, often for the wrong reasons and very silly, it still manages to be an enjoyable watch. A bit of a mish mash in places of different ideas, and the acting is patchy (but not as patchy as the dialogue),, i'm not sure why i enjoyed it, but i did, it must therefore, of been doing something right.
