Which awesome movies have you watched recently?

[DismalDude]

To this day still one of my favorite books if not my favorite.The Pillars Of The Earth by Ken Follett.
Too big for them to do a movie so they turned it into a mini series.Though not as good as the book it's still very epic and totally worthy of watching.
Not available on netflix stream only DVD. :(

The Maze Runner, I've been putting this one off because I thought it was a Hunger Games clone. While it does share some themes, this one was a lot better then the HG movies. And, actually quite different.

I noticed that the movie is actually the first in a trilogy of books, and this was a pretty decent movie. It did set itself up for the next movie quite obviously, but for some reason I really didn't mind it.

I also hear there is a prequel book, would be interested in seeing that too. Not sure if they are going to make it a movie. Probably one of those things where they wait and see how the next movie fair; that movie comes out in 2015.

Damn,I hear ya FiveAM,different strokes I guess.I just watched that movie yesterday and found it to be a dud.Glad I didn't waste the money for Imax.Can't please everyone though. ;)

About to commit 2 hours of my life to this movie, Final thoughts..............When we return ;)

Yes! We spent the week at my parents' new place out in the desert. They love watching movies and watch new flicks pretty much every night. So I was treated to Lucy, Predestination, and Housebound. ALL just fucking AWESOME movies.

 

[LittleDabbie]

RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!! I was hoping someone else watched it and agreed it was just fucking AWESOME!

Watching Stonehearst Asylum atm Ben Kingsly Kate beckensale bunch of other actors lol Trailer looked good.. Will report back :D

 

[LittleDabbie]

Well Stonehearst Asylum was ok.. id give it a 6 outta 10, Interesting and the ending kinda made the movie so.. Decent flick.

I half-assed "watched" (kinda listened to) The Reluctant Fundamentalist yesterday while doing some trimming. I should probably watch and actually pay attention to it.

I *did* watch Broken Kingdom. Very sad movie.


I think we need a "What Awesome Things Have You Learned Lately" thread. I've learned how to make an AMAZING challah bread from my dad, and he taught me a four-strand and SIX-strand braid last week. My father also taught me how to shoot when I was a kid, and a few other things. Like how to really get in trouble. :o

I loved what I saw, I haven't watched the whole thing through yet. Love the really dark comedies, though. Definitely dialog driven.

My curiosity has really been piqued about Nightcrawler.

The genius of Jake Gyllenhaal does not fall short on this one. It left me with a slight case of the willies. Lots of character development akin to Donnie Darko..maybe even more so.

Fury was really good. Really weird music though. When shit was about to get hot they would play this ominous "Children of the Corn" type back ground music. Want to see this one again.
