What's the last movie you've seen?

[Eraserhead]

Green Lantern

I think this got a bad rap for being one superhero/comic book movie too many. It does have some problems but it's actually pretty fun. Also, Blake Lively looks incredibly hot in it.

I might elaborate on my feelings on this a bit more later on.

I heard the CGI was pretty lousy for a 2011 movie.

Some of it was. Some of it looked pretty cool though.

The biggest problems were really that it felt rushed and several plot holes developed in the second half of the movie.

I thought most of the actors did a pretty good job though. Sarsgaard is particularly awesome due to the extreme weirdness of his character (which some people will hate but I quite enjoyed).

Yeah, I had a friend who saw it and pretty much said that Ryan Reynolds did a good job as the Lantern, but everything else was chopped up and confusing.  Felt more like a sequel than any sort of origin story.

Mark Strong is also great as Sinestro but unfortunately he doesn't get enough screen time and the character feels underdeveloped as a result.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Super 8
Pretty good, not my cup of tea, but none of the less, I enjoyed it.

[Lief 🗽]

The Graduate

I saw this first when I was in 8th grade, and that was it was alright then. But it's pretty much the perfect movie now that I'm Dustin Hoffman's character's age. Also the cinematography and soundtrack are all kinds of excellent. I also love the ending and how realistically depressing that final shot of the two of them on bus slowly losing the smiles on their faces is. Great stuff.

[Marokai Backbeat]

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

It's nothing special but I didn't mind it. I don't exactly know why I sort of liked it, though. I guess I just enjoy Jay Baruchel in nearly anything.

Layercake

Clever with a great soundtrack. And Daniel Craig is f'ing sexy (no homo).

Green Lantern

If they would have spent more time on the climax and resolution, perhaps 20 minutes longer, this would have been fantastic. As is, it's just OK.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

Battle: Los Angeles.  Aaron Eckhart was fantastic.  The rest...well....yeah.

[Bacon King]

Green Lantern, in 3D. It was a good movie for 3D, too. I agree with Eraserhead- decent and fun but with a few plot holes and other confusing moments.

(highlight below for spoilers)

The end of the movie definitely didn't make sense to me; Sinestro is there to pull Green Lantern from the sun, but why does he still steal the yellow ring in the credits? I know it's a setup for the sequel but I don't get why the character would jump back and forth like that. For that matter, those ancient guardians, or whatever they were called, if they're so smart why did they immediately make the same mistake over again that created the bad guy in the first place? Also, how does a path from Earth to the Sun go through the asteroid belt? But yeah, aside from nitpicks like those it was a decent enough movie. Wouldn't watch it again, but it was worth the money to see it.

That's what she said.

I last saw Super 8. It was a nice throwback to the 90s. I went in thinking it was about a Super 8 motel.

Don't give Lars Von Trier any ideas.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I vaguely remember a book I read as a young teenager that was closer to anthology of short stories all revolving around the same loosely connected characters than an actual novel (like Pulp Fiction), but one part in it is when one character is on the run and stays in a trashy roadside motel. The clerk gives him a key and tells him there's a room on his floor at the beginning that doesn't have a number and the door is always locked and not to bother with it or look inside. Well when notices that door and feels a sort of evil presence emanating from it and gets curious to look inside but doesn't and goes to his room. That whole night before going to sleep he's bugged by whatever's in that room. But the next morning he resists the temptation to look in it again and just checks out without ever finding out whatever was the deal with the room.

Well anyway something like that would actually be pretty cool in a movie directed by someone like von Trier.

Magic

An underrated 70's classic. Anthony Hopkins and Ann Margret is great in it. The ending is one of the best twist endings in history, I won't give it away but watch it you'll be entertained

[Landslide Lyndon]

I saw Super 8 too. It's a good movie but I don't understand why all that ecstatic praise from the critics. The only thing that impressed me was the fact that Elle Fanning is 13 years old (12 when the movie was filmed). She could easily pass for 17-18 since she is towering her older male costars.

A crappy movie. Avoid it like the plague.

Saw it.  Humorously illogical.  There were so many opportunities for her to break that stupid loop that she just refused to take.

It's Kind of a Funny Story

It was kind of funny... but not that funny.

[milhouse24]

I just watched the Lyme Disease movie on PBS called "Under Our Skin" - that details chronic Lyme Disease and the treatment with anti-biotics; as well as the HMO fight against diagnosing Lyme disease. 

Its scary stuff, especially since its so prevalent in the Northeast and spreading across the country.  If untreated, it can kill you by debilitating your nervous system and brain function.  Its symptoms are similar to ALS and MS; and the scary is that many doctors don't recognize the symptoms and send you to a shrink, and the HMO's won't pay for long-term antibiotics. 

Side note - I am never going outdoors or into the woods again.

Midnight in Paris

Solid. Allen can still write.

[exopolitician]

Bad Teacher.

It was raunchy and funny, but not worth spending money to go see it.

[Phony Moderate]

The Butterfly Effect. Very strange but quite enjoyable.
