I went through the pages and did not see this anywhere, another forum i visit has one of these running and i heard about all kinds of stuff to check out as well as discuss movies that you love or hate.
The whole idea is post what you watched and few comments about it. Rise of planet of the apes (2011) - first time I've seen this version, its was decent, not great but not terrible Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Alpha - this is a short film that ties into the new future soldier game. Its available for sale, and ive heard free on xbox live and psn as well. - This is a solid action packed short film with lots of violence.

Saw Prometheus on Saturday and thought it was excellent. Not a game changed like "Alien" was, it is still collection worthy.
I also watched "The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford" earlier today. Dark, brooding film. I like the element the narration adds to the atmosphere. Great cast and score make for a memorable film. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I just started watching Eureka. So far I like it, cool scifi show.
About to finish up season 5 of Burn Notice and I really enjoy that show. Supernatural, Psych, Entourage, and Castle are a few others I keep up with once Netflix releases the seasons. |

Last show was "Black Books" on Netflix. Hilarious.
Last movie was "The Prisoner of 2nd Avenue." Also hilarious.

I've been slowly but surely getting some of the old MST3K shows on dvd from Amazon and Cheepnis. Godzilla VS Megalon (or whatever) last night. "He's got a tree!!" "This is not the Godzilla we know!!" Godzilla can also drop kick apparently. Rex Dart-Eskimo spy.

Godzilla can also drop kick apparently. Rex Dart-Eskimo spy. in some of the old ones ive seen him do a drop kick, i seen 2 or 3 of the remakes they started doing in the 90's and up till now. I still watch the american version too, but its more like filler till there is another godzilla movie on. I forgot i had just watched the Hatfields and Mccoys on tv. that was a pretty solid western series. |

Rampart (with Woody Harrelson) - Absolutely awful movie, terrible in every respect
Man on a Ledge - Not bad, worth the watch just for the chick Safe House - Very good, worth watching again (typical Denzel character, but I was impressed with Reynolds in this film) |

We finally watched back Hatfields & McCoys off the DVR last week, last "movie" we watched (other than catching part of GWTW for the umpteetnth time the other night) –– a bit coarse for a TV miniseries (language, etc.) but well done IMO.
The last new series episode we watched was the Burn Notice season premiere. (We all enjoy that show.) (We were out of town visiting family all weekend, so no real watching of any kind.) |

I picked up a copy of Act of Valor last Tuesday and finally got to watch it Thursday. I didn't care for the acting but the action scenes were great. Towards the end of the movie they did a scene through the perspective of the shooter. You could hear the heart rate and breathing rise and see the sight alignment of his pistol. I thought it was pretty good.

We went to the theater for the first time in probably a year last weekend to see the Avengers. It was awesome.
I watched modern marvels "90's Tech" about an hour ago on History channel 2. GPS and digital cameras have come a long way. |

I watched Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance last night on DVD.
So-so comic sequel (I read the old comics as a child, and recall enjoying the first one) with some interesting FX... but, for some reason, I always seem to enjoy Nicolas Cage in movies in spite of myself (God help me!  ).

I just watched Act of Valor tonight. It was okay. I realized that, although the action sequences were well choreographed and the cinematography was excellent, the fact that they used real Navy seals left something to be desired from a standpoint of character development. 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.

I half-watched a few movies off the DVR the past two nights while working on some rifles –– The Grey (good movie, I didn't love the ending); Hangover 2 (it had its moments); Easy A (funnier than I expected it to be); The Tournament (utterly disappointing).

I watched John Carter (not horrible IMO, but I can see why it didn't do well) and Red Tails (better than I expected it to be) in the background last night while working on some rifles. 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.
 Originally Posted By steenroller: Got the entire series of "Sledgehammer" the police satire from the 80's on DVD and have been watching it lately... Trust me... I know what I'm doing. (The paper airplane in the pilot episode is still one of the funniest bits on TV to me.) |

Watched "Badlands" night before last. Beautifully filmed, and I still don't know what to make of it. Something about celebrity and innocence.
Last night was "East of Eden." That's a great movie, even if James Dean's acting style is sometimes a Marlon Brando impersonation. |

Ok, watched Chronicle a couple of days ago, and it wasn't bad. I'll admit my expectations were low, but thought it was worth the watch. Watched 21 Jumpstreet last night, and was thoroughly disappointed. It just wasn't very funny, although I did get a kick out of the coach's character.
