Thread: last movie you watched (Flag Up SPOILERS)

Finally watched The Hunger Games. Kinda like Running Man meets The Lord of the flies. I have a special place for Jennifer Lawrence and her lil pudgy pouty face

Running Man was first and leagues better IMO.

Saw Bad Ass 2: Bad Asses with Danny Trejo and Danny Glover.

70 year olds kicking ass. It was amusing and tongue in cheek. Pretty good.

agree mostly. which was cheesy for you?

Watched In Time (Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried) and Snowpiercer (Chris Evans, Song Kang-ho, John Hurt, Jaime Bell, Tilda Swinton, Ed Harris).

In Time, used time as currency - liked the concept. To control overpopulation, people engineered to stop aging at 25 and only have 1 year to live, a bioclock on their arm counts down their time. They work and get paid in time, so it's possible to live beyond 26 yrs of age. Timberlake lives day to day literally and stuck in the ghettoes. The rich, who live in different time zones literally have a 1,000,000 years and are immortal. One night, a rich person is slumming and meets Timberlake and gives him his time of 100 yrs and Timberlake is looking to get out of the ghettoes and steal time from rich to give to the poor.

Snowpiercer looked to be bigger budget with cast as well as set design/production/etc and was more ambitious. In effort to stave off global warming, 72 countries agreed to fire missiles into atmosphere which has something to help. somehow, planet freezes over and passengers on a train built to run forever are the only survivors. There were plot holes in Snowpiercer, not enough to detract overall for me, but for a friend, those plot holes killed the movie.

Liked both movies, In Time a little more than Snowpiercer, and no I'm not a Timberlake fan.

Aliens - "GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!" solid movie a good solid sequel one of the best movie sequels ever IMO up there with Godfather II and Empire Strikes Back.

I watched 'Radiant Child' AND 'Basquiat' which were about Jean-Michel Basquiat the 1980's artist and basically the dude who paved the way for guys like Banksy. I watched because I remember Basquiat's paintings as childish, unrefined, and pretty much the height of navel gazing self important bullshit.....and I wanted to see how he became famous before his untimely passing due to a heroin & cocaine overdose.

Guys like Picasso had true talent, they could draw, they could paint, so well in fact they got bored of doing the normal every day thing and then developed their own style like Cubism for example....I never saw that talent from Basquiat which just makes me despise his work. Andy Warhol also promoted Basquiat and helped him attain a celebrity status. Warhol is one of those guys who gets pleasure in taking the soul out of art.

I hated that movie, felt like I wasted 2 hours watching it.

Any movie that is horrible I'll give a shot....sometimes you find some really fun movies. For example 'The Day After Tomorrow'

I agree, that movie was crap

The amazing spiderman 2 and The last stand (Arnie again) were ok

Rat Race which is awful.

Watched a few gems hiding on YouTube (yes full films)

Deadly Prey - kind of like Rambo meets The Most Dangerous Game

R.O.T.O.R - think Robocop + The Terminator

Ghetto Blaster - pretty much another version of Death Wish

Watched How to train a dragon 2 it was good.

Need for Speed - okay
Expendables 3 - Okay

Watched Run Fat Boy Run - not good.

Definitely, maybe. - chick flick bollocks.
