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

Clerks 2 - Fantastic if u liked the first one, Kevin Smith is a awesome director and seems to get the most from each scene he shoots, altho his Jay and Silent bob characters are awesome as usual in this movie. Altho randal steals the show again...

If u liked the first deffo watch,
If u like Kevin Smith ( Silent bob, the director of chasing amy, mallrats, clerks and JASBSB ) you'll love this movie

V for Vendetta is a very good film :) a must see! some funny moments from V, although i must admit that some of natalie portmans lines seemed very forced, and she had some terrible lines at the end lol, but other than that i cant find anything wrong with it :), thoroughly enjoyable! 9.5/10


It was good, I liked the graphic novel better, but it just seemed like another rehash of Orwellian themed problems, much like the movie Equilibrium. But otherwise, it was a cool movie with a genuine hero.

GAH, Equilibrium *shudders* i hate that film xD, i guess, i can see where your comming from but imo it didn't seem at all like Equilibrium :o

FlightPlan, with Jodie Foster.

Good solid thriller, in true hitchcock style. Not brilliant by any stretch of the imagination, but clever in places, and managed to keep me guessing just long enough to hold my interest, i enjoyed it more than i thought i would.
Worth a try, if you like tense films. Its set on a plane for most of it, and features a missing child who knowone believes is missing or even exists except Jodie Foster's character.

Just saw Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Real fun movie, loved Sasha Baren Cohen (Ali G Show), his purposely forced accent was great.

Lots of great laughs, I won't spoil any for you, just go out and see it! :cool:

Miami Vice.

Pretty good TV-to-movie adaptation. Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell do very well in their roles of Ricardo Tubbs (Foxx) and Sonny Crockett (Farrell).

For fans of Heat and Collateral this is a must. Michael Mann's signature direction is clear. He keeps you askig questions of what happens next and if the duo have been rumbled.

I just got back from seeing POTC 2, and it was an amazing film. Great CGI, great action scenes...Oh yeah the cliffhanger at the end was cool and a smart move...Everyone that saw POTC 2 will now go see the third to see how it ends :)

Saw Superman Returns yesterday. Twas a good watch, interesting that it focused more on him returning than Lex Luthor's latest plot to dominate the world, but it worked well. Only critisism is that i felt they were struggling to find a good way to end the film, not sure if if it would work with that many follow on films either, compared to Spiderman or X-Men.

Still i enjoyed it, definitely worth a watch!

I saw POTC2 today. Hadn't seen the first one and I didn't wanna see #2 until I saw #1. Oh well, too late now. I understood the story very well though so it wasn't all that bad

Yes, and somebody told alot of people to wait until the end of the credits to watch that video because about 20 people stayed till the end :P Including us. I understood the very end video...why didn't other people? :confused: It wasn't that hard lol

Ah well, Good stuff.

Well, I watched this two nights ago.. But I think it still counts. >_>

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children - Basicly, if you want to watch (and enjoi) this film I would highly suggest playing/beating the game Final Fantasy VII. That is, if you want to understand most of it anyways. And as for the actual movie, it was very well done (character-wise etc..) and VERY beautiful, graphic-wise. The fight scenes were well thought out and just enjoiable. In all I would suggest this movie to FF fans, and maybe even to just a good old movie fan.

In all...

Thumbs Up!

7 out of 10

4 out of 5

Go watch and enjoi it!

I saw Boondock Saints for the first time yesterday and it has got to be the best movie I've seen in the past year.

It's basically about these two Irish native brothers that live in Boston, whom of which are both very religious and extremely close. After witnessing heinous crimes of evil and "sin", these brothers take it upon themselves to become God's Right Hand, if you will, and rid Boston of all evil.

The question that boggles the mind here about the premise of this movie is, are the two brothers doing the right thing in giving themselves the right to exterminate all sin within people by ridding the sinners themselves?

Definitely a cool movie, and Willem Defoe gives a great performance as the FBI agent going after the "saintly" brothers.

The 51st State.

Love it, Robert Carlyle's and Samuel L Jackson's acting are respectively brilliant. Especially the slight nod to Pulp Fiction.

I saw Stormbreake today.

Damn, is that a James Bond rip off or what?

Alex Rider does NOT look 14...he looks 18, at least.

But apart from that, I did actually enjoy it. Better than what I expected from a PG and I never really read the book all the way through so everything was a surprise for me. Can't wait for the sequal though.

M. Night Shyamalan is in every movie he directs. And I would also like to point out that he is an absolute genius at what he does, every movie he's done (haven't seen Lady in the Water yet) is on my top 15 list, signs is prolly around number 2. I just love his movies. And to make this post have some meaning, I would suggest ANYONE to see ANY of his movies. Especially Signs. They are all so fantastic that even if you JUST watched the movie you want to see it again like the next day. Brilliant guy, brilliant movies, go watch them all.

/plans on going to the movies to watch Lady in the Water
