horror film from 2002 with Bill Paxton and McConnaughey... unlike any movie I've ever seen, I really liked it and highly recommend it.

Saw Rush the other day and enjoyed it. I admit I didn't even know the real story beforehand. Daniel Bruhl in particular was very good. 8/10
Haha, it's on!
Strangely I cannot remember this film when it came out (or since), so one to keep in mind. Thanks.
Spotlight - (4/5) Slow, heavy story with brilliant acting. I liked it.

Just saw The Brothers Grimsby on Sunday...
5/10: I'm a fan of Sacha Baron Cohen's earlier work with Ali-G and Borat. Bruno was too extreme in terms of pushing the bubble on awkwardness and profanity so I didn't like it as much as Borat. The Dictator was different because it was not filmed with random people. It had a few funny moments but that was it.
Well The Brothers Grimsby is a mix of both Bruno (in terms of pushing the bubble) and The Dictator (movie with real actors and few laughs). The package makes for a weird movie that not many will enjoy. I, for one, found it OK, but I am part of those that ''could'' have liked it so i guess I'm the minority here
Do not watch it:
- with kids (seriously)
- with people who are easily offended
- unless you like Sacha Baron Cohen's movies/humour
- while you are sober
- while the people you are watching it with are sober
- expecting something good
If you can check off 5 or 6 things from the list above, you should be good for the 90 mins

I just saw Room. It is an excellent movie. I think it should've won Best Picture and I think the little kid should've won Best Supporting Actor, he was just awesome in it. It's one of the more original movies you'll see and the premise is so emotionally heavy it's impossible to not be enthralled. It's one of those movies I found myself thinking about for like two days.
Just saw Whiskey Tango Foxtrot with my GF and another couple (the girls were pissed that we had dragged them in to watch Deadpool so this was their choice).
6.5/10: Not a bad movie but nothing special happens. I has war components (obviously), a bit of romance and some humour; just enough of everything without any excesses. Tina Fey was particularly good in the movie, the rest of the cast... meh (except Margot Robbie :P)

Creed 6/10 soft movie ...next
Straight outta compton 5/10 ....watched director's cut, almost stopped it at 30 mins...too many handshakes for my liking
Southpaw 7.5/10 - better than creed imo, more edge, less predictable ...
Starwars - 6/10 wimpy characters and not overly entertaining imo...oldies are so much better...ren's hissy fits were laughable
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

Saw Batman vs Superman despite the horrible reviews. It was much better than I was expecting - maybe because my expectations were low, but I'd give it a much higher rating that what it's received from critics.
Amazing effects (watch it in imax if you can), actors were generally decent, and wonder woman is hot as ****!
Besides the plot being forced and all over the place because of DC trying to set up Justice League, the only thing I took issue with was their portrayal of Batman. They essentially made him a big dumb thug, whereas Batman has traditionally been known for his moral and intellectual depth.
Overall, I still enjoyed it - it's decent for what it is. 6.5/10
Recently watched Eyes In The Sky with Helen Mirren and Alan Rickman. I enjoyed it, feeling it had the right balance between tension, action and even a bit of humour.
Not going through this whole thread to see if this has been said before, but The Prestige is one of the most recent movies I have seen, and it has to be one of the best movies I have ever seen. 9.5/10, and would recommend for and type of movie watcher.

May check out 10 Cloverfield Lane - anyone see this one?
Deadpool - watched a few weeks back - I really enjoyed it - his personality is much like mine lol.....8/10 - good action, funny lines - language may not be for the 18 and under crowd or your lady friend...
