See a good movie over the weekend?

My husband and I went to the WolfMan, not sure it would be classified as a Hit, but he certainly enjoyed it, and I got a few jumps out of it too, even if it did have some cheesy special fx, and some cheesy "makeup" to it. Just wondering if anyone has seen a good movie lately, and what you'd recommend. (even if it's a redbox)

i really wanted to see Dear John and ended up seeing Valentine's Day instead. of course it wouldn't be considered an award winning movie, but i was entertained. it was 'cute'. :happy:0
-
I don't get out to the movies much, the last movie I saw that I did enjoy out was "The Fourth Sense" or something of that nature. Pretty good movie! I'm a documentary fan! "Wolf Man".. hmmmm I will check it out!0
-
We watched The Hangover and The Ugly Truth. The Ugly Truth was really good. It was certainly a better rom-com than The Hangover was a straight comedy. The Hangover was funny but not omg-roflmfao funny.0
-
agree the ugly truth was funny I saw it in the theater this past summer. Watching the hangover tonight0
-
I bought the Hangover, and laughed at it, but thought it could've been WAY funnier, but it was very entertaining. We love the cheap comedy stuff in our house... I think tomorrow at the Mommy Movie Matinee, we're going to see When in Rome.0
-
I want to see "Shutter Island" this weekend (comes out Friday). I'm a sucker for anything Scorsese/Leo! I also wanted to see Wolfman...it looked good.0
-
My husband and I really wanna see Wolfman, I also wanna see Robin Hood and we're gonna go see Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland the day after it comes out!!!! It looks so good, i love Tim Burton and even more I love Johnny Depp!0

You and my wife need to talk. lol0 -
Took son and watched The Book of Eli. It was OK. Not great but OK. Went and ate a balanced meal at Ruby Tuesday's and then back to watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief. Again OK, not great but the younger kids will like it. Still looking for something to rival the best movies of the year. Avatar, and Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock has sequel coming. YES.0
-
Avatar was a movie i fought not to go see...my son finally talked me into it...i would have to say one of the very best movies i have ever seen...
love back to the future 1,2, and 3
love bad boys 1 and 2
but Avatar in 3d...dang the best0 -
I didn't like t he ending but otherwise I LOVED dear john.... I needed a good cry LOL.
there is underlaying story other then what they show in t he previews so that was a nice surprise that it was not just the OBVIOUS of what you expect from the commercials
CANNOT wait for Alice in wonderland!!!!!!0 -
My wife and I watched "Edge of Darkness" with Mel Gibson. It was a fantastic move, although very, very intense. I, too, am having problems finding new movies to rival "Avatar 3D" and "Sherlock Holmes".0

It's not brand new, but i watched The Orphan recently, and thought that it was awesome! I love scary horror movies though...0

that one musta been a book or something cuz i guessed the "twist" way before it happened, now i am one of THOSE people who predicts everything in a movie before it happens... but i knew matter of factly somehow...so either i've read it or the movie was a remake? lol i thought it was good though i love scary...but like psychological scary not just blood and guts lame scarey0 -
I dont go to many movies but for some reason I've been to several lately:
Sherlock Holmes: LOVED it, will be buying it when it comes out
Legion: could have been SOOO very much better, there were plot holes you could drive a mack truck through and the script sucked
The Blind Side: really good, made me cry several times awesome truelife story
and rentables:
Blazing Saddles-just found this at Buybacks (used movie store) and had to get it, one of my alltime favorites
Star Trek- the newer movie that came out last year I think it was? very good, my mom was a trekkie so it was very interesting to see the background story and see all of the charactors before they got where they were on the show
Extract: very funny dark comedy. I liked it a lot
Hangover: loved it, there wasnt much I would change about it, I laughed all the way through ("he's so mean!")0 -
My hunny and I saw "King of New York" and oldie but definatly a goody! !0
-
Finally saw the Hangover. Very disappointed. I'm running out of things to put in my Netflix queue.0

I'm usually a good guesser of twists, but that was one I didn't see coming. I like psycholoogical scary better than blood and guts scary (though I'll watch that too)...0 -

DH and I actually really enjoyed Book of Eli. We had gone to the theater to see Daybreakers, but the projector was broken, and Book started at the same time, so we decided to see that. I had in my head that it was the one with the angels coming to destroy the world (Legion), so whooops, lol.
All the same, we really enjoyed it. The twist at the end, finding out he was.... Oh, I'm not gonna say, and ruin it for people... just twisted my panties. I never would have expected it!0 -
i saw Valentine's Day on Valentine's Day. It was cute. I enjoyed it and I would watch it again.
Can't wait for Shutter Island and Alice in Wonderland.0 -
Went to When in Rome yesterday - cutesy chick flick - had several parts where I laughed- of course it was somewhat predictable, but sometimes I enjoy those with a stupid laugh - had several moments where you just had to laugh outloud at stuff... pretty good cast too - wide variety of people.0
-
heard there would be a new Mission Impossible movie with Tom Cruise- anyone else confirm that? or see anything good lately? Planning on cancelling most of the extra cable channels, and going with a few Redbox rentals every now and then.0
-
I'd say skip Daybreakers- the most boring vampire flick I've ever seen.
Book of Eli was ok...kind of depressing.
Shutter Island looks amazing, but I'm trying to lay off of scary movies because I can't sleep...and that looks scary. I'm very tempted to watch it though. 0 -
Me and my husband went to see The edge of darkness, With Mel Gibson. It was great. I also liked I love you man0
-
When someone sees "Shutter Island" let me know how it is b/c I realllllly wanna see it!0
-
Me and my friend went to see Shutter Island it was okay but long.. not a fan of that kind of show but it was okay my friend was disappointed she though it was going to be scary lol I jump a few times.. Seen Dear John too bring the tissues...0
-
Rented 500 days of summer .....it was just 'OK'....thought it would be better

Went to see Crazy Heart last weekend, I like it!0
-
well, now ya askin!
I watch at least a movie a night as the TV in uk pretty much sucks and my hubby cant cope with it.
We are tough critics here..!!!
Avatar...hmmm pretty mediocre story but special effects ok. Not the best ever in my book.
Book of Eli...bit slow but an interesting idea and ending was intrigueing but didnt blow me away.
Case 39...spoooky and pretty well done.
Sherlock Holmes...just brilliant all round movie.
2012...good also, special effects really brilliant. Good family film
Elektra...an oldie but very good not gory and ok for kids. with Jennifer Garner in sexy red outfit!
The lord of the Rings trilogy re-watched...bit long and pretty tedious!
Lovely Bones... not as good as the book but quite an interesting take on it.
Time Travelers wife...bit confusing and i have read the book, a tricky one to take to film so a bit of a miss sadly.
Inglorious Basterds...ooo I loved this one but a bit gory in places.
ok thats all i can think of...oh and I saw ' On the Up ' and I cannot for the life of me see what all the fuss is about , pretty average movie?!
As you can probably tell some of these are not open in the UK yet so I am a naughty downloader...anyone recommend torrent sites?
Hope you enjoyed the movies you saw..!
