Movies You've Watched This Week?

I have a month before I go back to school and my Neflix queue just tripled.

My latest favorite movies are the Jesse Stone series. I think they were made for TV, from the Robert B. Parker novels, but they’re awesome, Tom Selleck is perfect. If you haven’t seen them, I highly recommend it. I would like to read the books, but I’m not sure if they’ll spoil the movies for me, or vice versa.

I also saw Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? about four times last week. And Blue Harvest is sitting on my DVD player, but I have to be in the right mood for that. I hated Family Guy for the first few months my husband watched it, but I’ve come around.

Finally got a chance to watch “There Will Be Blood”

Holy shit. What a great movie. I can see why Daniel Day-Lewis won the Oscar. Outstanding performance.

Also watched “Stand By Me” again. Love that movie.

Saw Hancock yesterday, was pleasently suprised. I rather enjoyed it, most of the audience was laughing along quite enthusiastically. Overall a very good film.[/quote]

I saw it last night, It was hilarious. During the movie they showed a trailer for Step Brothers, can’t wait.

Seriously? I thought it looked really bad.

I’m on the fence for Step Brothers. When I first heard about it and saw the first preview, I thought it was going to suck. I’ve warmed up to it a bit since then, but I could still go either way.

One way or another, I’ll end up seeing it.

I have to admit that I have watched a Lifetime movie and it was one of the Jesse Stone flicks. It was pretty good. Tom Selleck is always good.

I did have a problem with him drinking Johnnie Red though. No self-respecting alcoholic drinks Johnnie Red.

Well, yeah, see I’ve never really seen Tom Selleck in anything before, which is part of my fascination.

If your a Selleck fan and like westerns at all, I recommend Quigley Down Under.

Rambo

I didn’t have high expectations going into this movie, and while it wasn’t a classic, it was a solid action flick.

“Vacancy”

Suspenseful and entertaining.

I spent all week watching the first season of The Tudors. I thought it was just okay. The whole season just kind of seemed slow, but the last few episodes picked up the pace.

I think I’m a little burnt out on TV shows on DVD for a bit. I just completed Dexter and The Tudors back to back. Time to catch up on some movies.

Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D

I hadn’t been to a 3D movie in a while so this was fun. Yes, the script was cheesy at points, but I was entertained. I, and the rest of the audience, jumped several times as things “lunged” towards our faces. Fun times:)

District B13 - I liked it. Not much for plot, but the parkour action is brilliant.

Sexual Life - Came across this last night on TV. Basically a flick about relationships and how most people make a lot of bad decisions. The movie kind of transitions into different characters throughout, which is a cool concept but leaves a little to be desired when looking at the people and scenarios in any kind of detail.

The Warriors
I watch this movie at least once a year. Yeah it’s a bit dated, but hey, I still like it and that’s all that matters. Although I’ve always thought the Warriors should’ve spent more time fighting than running…

Watching Con Air right now. This movie kicks ass on so many levels.

This morning I watched Starship Troopers. It was brought up in another thread so I got the urge to watch it again.

It’s still cool in my book.

Think about the CGI in that movie for a moment.

That movie was made in '97 making it over a decade old. THAT is pretty cool.

EDIT:

Neil Patrick Harris shooting and killing a giant alien insect.

Totally! That’s one of the things I noticed about it when watching it. The effects still hold up well. It doesn’t look like a 10 year old movie at all.

Plus, that movie has some great quotes.

Watched the whole thing as well today while lying in bed. I was only 8 when it came out, so this was my first time seeing it lol.

The King of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters

What a great documentary! Seriously, anyone who has played or still plays video games has to check this out. The story of 1 guy chasing the Donkey Kong high score is easy to relate to, and Billy Mitchell (who holds the score, then loses it then mysteriously gets it back) plays a great antagonist.

Embrace your inner nerd and watch the movie.
