Wow the movie section is sort of dead! Whats going on?

Anyone seen the (2010) The Mechanic? Great movie I recommend it.

I saw Battle Los Angeles last week, twas ok.

Been given Rec One and Two to watch this weekend

Saw limitless at the cinema. OK but no biggie

My last movie viewing experience was The King's speech.
We really liked it – great acting and a good story
We averaging about two movie trips per year now….
Go before you have kids

So did they actually make a movie called "World invasion: battle las angeles" or is it all a big joke? Is that the best they could come up with? The actual movie must be awful....

Bet it has some fucking awesome explosions.

I got the impression that it was funded by the US army. The aliens reminded me of the hamburgler

one where Faye Reagan gets her vagoo wrecked

Last 3 I watched

1. Memento
2. Requiem for a dream
3. The Mechanic

Thought The Mechanic was pretty good actually, Jason Statham is badass.

Just watched The Green Hornet, many lols and worth the time. I enjoyed it a lot and the story was pretty good - 3.5/5


Wanna see The Kings Speech, great reviews.

I watched Crazy Heart on the TV the other night, a bit movie of the week, but Jeff Bridges was awesome.

As FF said - once the kids come along it's hard to find the money or the time for going to the movies - but it's no big sacrifice to wait 6 months and watch it on DVD at home. I've been watching intellectual stuff with my kids this week:
- Merchant of Venice (lots of cross-dressing and sexual innuendo while putting the wicked Jews in their place);
- Scott Pilgrim (lots of LOLZ, indie music and gratuitous violence);
- some other lame movie about a guy who's a retired CIA agent but didn't tell his wife, then she finds out 3 years later when her dad sets his hired killers onto the son in law. As predicatable as a Statham movie, but without Statham's humour and subtlety, sadly.

Watched Kick-ass with the missus, she said it wasn't suitable for the kids so they missed out. That little girl with the kung fu moves is awesome, she's like a rabid hobbit.

Last weekend at the NZSS MTB champs I watched a bunch of movies with my daughter:
- Grease - how many cliches can you fit into one movie? and wasn't Travolta skinny!;
- I Robot - "A-choo" "Are you alright" "I'm allergic to bullshit";
- Troy - Hannah almost cried for Hector when Brad Pitt read him his obituary;
- Red Heat (Big Arnie as a Soviet police inspector);

- and I did just sit up watching The World is Not Enough this evening because the cricket was too boring.

Sounds like a real tear-jerker, probably better than anything I've watched. Maggie Gyllenhall always adds something to the movies she's in: I can't decide if she's hot or just strange ... but at least she looks like a real person, not a surgically rebuilt clone. And she can act.

i watched '16 Blocks' last night. Cast-written for an aging Bruce Willis, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Last night: Blue Valentine. Grim marriage movie
Night before: The fighter. Boxing family drama
Last week: RED and Shutter Island. American studio market movies.
