Recently Watched Movies/General Movie Discussion

Margin Call 9/10

Exceptional film with a very well-written script. I was unsure about some of the casting choices, but as a whole I though that the cast put in a great performance. Some of the big names in the film include Jeremy Irons and Kevin Spacey.

Midnight In Paris. Extremely overrated.

The Skin I Live In (8.5/10)

Great movie but a bit disturbing.

Just watched Inception for the first time. Has to be one of my all time favourite movies, my mind is blown on so many levels.

dude you need to go deeper

Watchmen- 9.6/10

Very very original. Great movie and certainly one of the better 'Marvel
Comic Superhero' movies. It's on for about 2 hours 45 minutes, 18 rated. Certainly not a kids film by any means. Directed brilliantly I thought and the plot keeps you interested all the way through.

A must watch for anyone who likes the Superhero franchise.

If you liked The Dark Knight, Sin City...you'll love this.

Watchmen isn't Marvel.

Isn't it Cam? Thought it was.

What is it?

DC Comics

It's a good movie, I haven't seen it in a while though.

Ah, ok. Thanks.

Is it DC? Isnt it just a graphic novel by Frank Miller?

No, it was a comic book, I knew that, I thought it was Marvel though. Have you seen it Sean? It's a great film, really do recommend it, I think you'd enjoy it.

Oh got it mixed up with Sin City I think

Nah Dean, always meant to

Yeah, it's DC, it's a 12 part comic series

The film is good, but the ending is better in the books than it is in the film

Watchmen was by Alan Moore and was published by DC Comics.

Alan Moore V for Vendetta is better than Watchmen though.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - Very good. Very strong performances all round. No action whatsoever, so it certainly isn't a James Bond-esque type of spy film if that's what you're hoping for. Lots of tension and the eery atmosphere is built excellently.

The Prestige - 9/10... Bale, Jackman, ScarJo, Caine, TESLA, DA GAWDS. Crazy ending.

Indeed.

One of the best. Watch it again sometime and it's even better.

Step Brother - 7.5/10

The story is average and it's a bit stupid but it had me in tears of laugher at some points of the film, I would recommend it just for giggles.

50/50 - Great film. Dealt with the a pretty difficult subject well. Very funny at times, but was also very touching. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anna Kendrick were great. Kind of disappointed that Seth Rogen played the same role he does in basically every film, but I guess he added to the comedic value.

Moneyball - Good but not the most original sports film really. If it didn't have Aaron Sorkin linked to it, it wouldn't have received nearly as much hype. Still, it was decent and the two leads did a very nice job.

Jonah Hex - 7/10

Was alright. I like pretty much every action film I watch though Had a half naked Megan Fox too which was a bonus

Mission Impossible : Ghost Protocol - Good action flick. Stylish, entertaining and generally well made.

You watch alot of movies

I've got a lot of free time at the moment.

Who else just downloads movies people mention in this thread?

What's happened to Megan Fox recently? Haven't noticed her.

After calling Michael Bay a NAZI, she was fired from the only project that was keeping her career intact. She's going to star in Sacha Baron Cohen's The Dictator, due to come out this year. Potentially a good role, but I can still see her acting career failing miserably. Expect either a sex tape or a career in porn within the next couple of years.
