Just watched a movie ? let us know what you just watched with a simple watch, Avoid or if your bored next to it.

Lets face it people dont have the same taste in movies but its pretty simple to work out if you wanna watch it, the Watch or avoid is just a guideline to that genre, so if you like the genre then you will like the movie more than likely.

i'll start

today i watched

Finders Fee - Mystery Indie movie - Watch for sure

Red Eye - Thriller - Only if your bored ( though cillian murphy is creepy :D )


carry it on :D

so i watched some movies from 2011. short opinion on those:
Limitless - scenography is good, actors are good, idea is good... but it wasnt fulfilled. main char is no smarter than your usual bruce willis action movie hero. the worst thing about the movie is ofcourse its lack of ending... it kinda led to nowhere.

Unknown - very overused idea, add to that my dislike for liam neeson in general (doesnt matter that he was in phantom menace) and we have a pretty dull movie.

X-men: First Class - no idea what James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender are doing in it. they are really too good for such movie... then again they were the only actors that made the movie better than your average superhero movie.

In Time - was quite suspicious about this movie since Justin Timberlake is in it. and i was right - its not a good movie. surprisingly enough it wasnt even JTs fault - the script was awful and story was rather pointless as well. kinda stunning how director of such movie like Trumans Show can make such a bad movie. Idea was good tho..

Source Code - not a fan of Jake Gylenhaal, but this movie was pretty good. the twist isnt clear pretty much untill the end.

Contagion - plain garbage. worst movie from 2011. so many great actors put into one of the flattest stories ive seen in my life. makes me think why someone thought it is a good idea to make such movie. i was interested in it, because i like movies about global viruses n stuff and this also had great cast... i regrest watching it. waste of time.

Drive - clearly the best movie from 2011 (atleast from those that ive seen so far). a rather simple story really... but it just doesnt look standart. some good performances, 80s soundtrack with some bladerunner ambient sounds from time to time, good scenography. it isnt the best movie of all time, dont take me wrong, but it is definetly worth watching. people who hate slow movies, minimalistic acting will hate this one tho.

50/50 - a solid drama comedy. some good performances in this one, good sense of humour.

final destination 5 - i remember i liked fd2 since it was rather stupid, but atleast half-serious and brutal movie. watched 3, 4 and 5 lately... pure comedy, but id rather watch evil dead instead.

cowboys & aliens - some ok acting, except maybe olivia wilde. she is damn fine looking woman, but thats it. summer blockbuster kind of movie, nothing special, not terrible either.

can somebody explain why was this censored?
'mindfuck' is quite a popular definition to those kinds of movies.
if anything this should be censored in 'mindf**k' kind of way.

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon

Liso and me just watched this last night and I personally like it. The storyline has improved by much. Between a conspiracy theory related to recent-historical events, unexpected plot changes and darker writing, this storyline outmatches those of the former two movies.

Action sequences look really good again in this movie. There are battles going on on an even greater scale than in the previous movies.

I did miss Megan Fox's character. Mikaela had far more of an important role in the movie and used to cut up, burn, trap, kick and punch decepticons. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's character basically just runs around.

Final verdict: This is the best transformer movie in the thrilogy. For those who enjoyed the first two transformer movies, you'll more than likely will enjoy this one, too.

Buried - a decent movie, but there are better alternavies about the exact same topic. i think they could have done so much more in that coffin.

Saw Battle: Los Angeles last week, could wait to get out of the cinema, just one bad cleche after another that we've see in this type of movie over and over except with bad acting.

Also saw Rango yesterday, good movie thoroughly enjoyed it.

Brooklyn's Finest - Don Cheadle is just frickin awesome in everything he is in :D Didn't care to much for the other 2 stories but it was a ok movie. Be better if they focused solely on Don Cheadles character :D

in bruges was only good last half hour or so, there was nothing leading up to it, boring boregfest, no character development or anything. Just him moping around.

James Gordon Levitt had some of the best scenes in Inception, are you sure you watched inception ? You can't deny that Tom Hardy was kick ass in Inception tho


i did and yes he was pretty blank. even though that was supposed to be his character right? a dull professional that leaves creativity to the 'architects'. sort of neccesary boring character.

as for in bruges.... no char development and nothing leading to the ending? what the hell man. everything is connected there since the very beginning scene where main character calls 'big people' elephants.

never understood what is there about this guy. in inception he was the most boring thing on the screen.

anyway:
In Bruges - i wonder why i didnt watch this earlier. cant say a single bad thing about this movie.
The Wild Hunt - a movie about roleplayers. i must say it was rather unique.

Inception was great because of 2 people , Tom hardy and james Gordon levitt. Leo was meh in this, liked him in shutter island but not this.

Most Ofvthe people I know didn't like inception because it was confusing for them which I find hilarious hehe.

.... WHY!?!?!

Explain yourself woman!


One dimensional characters with little to no development, a boring story that the writer obviously thought was SO clever but it really wasn't. The dream thing was used as a weak excuse to link three unrelated (and unintersting) action scenes. The movie was very predictable and I was thrilled when it was over.

I could go on but it would get like the movie. Boring.

Wolfman - Average at Best

it was hilariously shitty. sooooo bad. well nothing comes close to Dorian Gay, but still.

anyway watched these recently:
brotherhood of the wolf - about half an hour too long, still i quite enjoyed it.
repo men - really fun movie. from Oldboy refference to rather weird sexy scene..
children of men - a very solid movie, everything was good about it. except maybe im not fan of such stories..
centurion - apart from the cheesy ending and lame main villain... it was pretty good.
spartacus: blood & sand - great tv series. the prequel gods of the arena wasnt as good, but enjoyable none the less.
