I just didn't really feel the emotional investment in certain scenes because, well, they're real military men and not actors. It's worth a watch. That's for sure. My thoughts exactly, borrowed it from a co-worker to watch over the weekend , glad I didn't buy it. |
You never hear the shot that kills you.

just finished watching Faster, thought it was pretty decent. better than some of the other movies ive watched recently
Watched Battleship as well over the holiday week, and i thought it was pretty good. with maybe a few gripes of sillyness. but entertaining for a movie based on a long ass to play game. |

watched quite a few recently:
The Collapsed - low budget TEOTWAWKI film - meh The Artist - the most recent Best Picture Academy Award winner. very well done, a good movie, worth a watch Straw Dogs - the remake (I liked the original starring Dustin Hoffman). Set in a small southern town, it was fair Extremly Loud and Incredibly Close - Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock. About a family w/ small boy, Father dies in the WTC on 9/11 and how the young son deals with the loss of his Dad. a good drama, worth a watch |

Since last posting to this thread, we've taken the kids to see both The Amazing Spiderman and Brave. Spiderman: The kids loved it, and I (who grew up on comics, especially early Marvel titles) enjoyed it more than any of the Sam Raimi/Tobey McGuire series (which I didn't hate, FTR). Brave: Great family movie, another solid winner from Pixar –– we all loved it, even my parents and my sister (who all went with us for that one). My wife and I also watched This Means War on DVD the other night without the kids. Okay movie with a few really good moments, sort of a non-traditional rom-com with enough action scenes (albeit Hollywood ridiculous/unrealistic) to keep most male rom-com haters somewhat appeased. Glad we never made it to the theater for that one, but worth watching at home IMHO. |

Finally watched Meet Joe Black, a DVD I had in my queue for years and years and assumed the movie was going to suck so always found an excuse not to watch it. Wasn't too bad, but it was 3 hours long, watched it over 2 days. Least I got it out of my system. Have American Psycho on blu-ray in my queue too now for a couple years, will probably watch that next |

a few more recent movies I've seen:
Night Train - a psychological thriller, a mysterious object causes train passangers to kill each other to obtain it. it was fair, set/scenery seemed like a play Salmon Fishing in the Yemen - a Brit rom com, dry Brit humor, starring Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt - both working for a Yemeni Prince to bring salmon fishing to the Yemen river. I thought it was a good movie Flippped - a Rob Riener directed rom com about two young teen neighbors and their relationship. a very good family w/young teens movie. it's set in the early 60's |
|
Watched a few with my wife recently that I had seen but she hadn't, but yesterday we both watched Hall Pass for the first time. Decent overall, but with a few very funny moments here and there. |

Raid story kinda sucks, but its a action flick and in that regard it does not falter. i liked it
The new dr who is great, a little tough to get over how fast they switching out characters though. most of them are pretty entertaining. I just watched Game of Thrones tonight, just the first disc, thought it was pretty damn cool. only seen part of an episode before. |
|
last dvd I watched a couple of days ago:
The Great Escape - a classic WWII POW film starring Steve McQueen, James Garner, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, and Richard Attenborough. a great film, but very long (2h 50m), first time I've seen it from start to finish in one sitting. |
Just finished watching District 9 on iTunes. Well, I tried. Irresistible sleepiness overcame me about 20 minutes into the movie and I woke up to the credits. Shit. I own it now, though, so I can watch it any time I want. 
I'm thinking I'll have to do John Carpenter's "The Thing" next. Classic, classic movie. 
a little alcohol to go with that? Why yes! Yes, I will.

You have the right to be offended.
| Any of you guys ever watched Rat Bastards on SPIKE about people who hunt swamp rats for a living if like Swamp People and Duck Dynasty then this is right up your alley another good show is Sasquatch on The Outdoor Channel about a legit mountain man Laramy Miller whose only weapons are a 54 caliber Hawkens and a homemade recurve bow better than Mountain Men on History. |

My wife and kids have been out of town this week, so I've been assembling/tinkering and burning off movies they aren't interested in watching with me.

(The paper airplane in the pilot episode is still one of the funniest bits on TV to me.) I watched Red Tails last night. I was really geeked to see the movie, but found myself very disappointed, especially with the glaring technical errors. Honestly, given the Tuskegee Airmen's record, I felt the unit deserved better. I think I'm largely done with Lucasfilm. Too many disappointments. |

latest I have watched:
Columbiana - decent revenge flick with lots of action The Game of Thrones (season 1) - first disc, first two episodes. I can see why this is such a popular HBO series; good storylines, and interesting characters. It reminded me of the HBO series Rome, set in a medieval times setting |
|
The Big Year (Yep, a movie about birdwatching.  )I REALLY expected to hate it from the description, despite the great cast, but I was pleasantly surprised. Most of y'all would probably find it very boring but the missus and I were amused by it and, sometimes, that's enough. YMMV. |

My Way
This was actually a very good movie. It's subtitles but fairly easy to keep up. The action was great and pretty intense. Not a real cheesy low budget movie. |
|
watched The Hunger Games
never read any of the books, hardly even heard of this before the movie madness a few months ago. it was decent, (not sure if I'll ever buy it, have to be a smokin' deal) if you like this kind of movie, check out Battle Royale, a Japanese (Korean?) movie very similar except they use firearms too. |
Just watched "Superbad" the other day. I don't think I had watched that movie since it came out in 2007. I forgot how damn hilarious it was. I was  at some parts.
Tonight, I'm going to check out "Observe and Report." I missed that one when it came out. It was in the Netflix queue so here we go. I watch "Inception" on a regular basis. I think it is, perhaps, the greatest movie Christopher Nolan has made to date (with "The Prestige" and "Memento" running a close 2nd and 3rd) and absolutely love the score. I predict Coen brothers' films this weekend. |

Over the past week we've watched the third season of Wonder Woman (the old Lynda Carter TV series) with the kids –– utterly cheesy, but still fun to watch (and interesting for the nostalgic clothes, cars, and guest stars).

| The Campaign: not bad, really laughed when Zach Galifianakis sat down with his family, said he was running for office and they needed to talk about any secrets they might have (and the stuff his 2 sons talked about). |
I support World Peace......One carefully placed round at a time.
