What was the last movie you saw, and did you like it?

I saw 'Monuments Men' a few months back...it was pretty good. There were some historical inaccuracies, as you might expect (I don't think there were any portable showers set up during the Battle of the Bulge) but it was a good flick overall.
 
My sweetie had Pulp Fiction on the other night. I have always enjoyed that movie, but I only caught snippets. I don't need to see it that many times.

The last one I sat all the way through was The Paperboy. I liked Pete Dexter's novel a lot. The movie was pretty good, not great.
 
Haven't been to a theatre in 10 years. Nothing out there that can't wait till it hits On Demand. To the question, Gangster Squad. Not a bad shoot-em-up.
 
Don't remember the name but Gabby Hayes was singing "Come back to Sorrento." It was pretty good with lots of fighting.
 
The wife had her annual 'hen party' here last night. I skipped out early, grabbed a sandwich at Jimmie Johns and then watched 'Brick Mansions' AND 'Neighbors' at the local movie house just as a getaway for the evening. Both were a complete waste of time. All due respect to Paul Walker but I just can't get into all the unrealistic theatrics they use in action movies. Neighbors was too stupid to to even be funny. Glad this happens just once a year. Got home at 10:00 just in time to watch Fargo. It was great. The wife had a good party though.
 
Though I've seen it many times, "Full Metal Jacket" was on one of the movie channels yesterday and I recorded it on the DVR. Might watch it this afternoon.

Saw "Monument Men" yesterday - very good. Enjoyed seeing Nick Clooney again - he was the news anchor for one of the Cincinnati TV stations when we lived in the area many years ago.
 
Chick movie alert! Labor Day with Pierce Bronson. Good movie, 95% love story, 5% cautionary tale. The female lead....well, they say that men think with the middle... With this woman it was the same yearning.

The wife or gf will love you for suggesting it.

Labor Day
 
"Monuments Men", a subject that is still in the news even today, as I read about a huge collection of stolen art just recovered from the attic of a dead 89 year old.

I knew some priceless art was recovered in WWII, I did not know it was part of any special unit.

Before that it was "American Hustle", with what I thought was some great acting by all involved.
 
Last movie we went to the theater to see was The Hobbit - Desolation of Smaug. My wife called it the Desecration of Tolkien.

I was horribly disappointed at how Jackson turned it into a video game. When he was letting New Zealand look beautiful and the story at least slightly followed Tolkien, I was happy. BUT, all the added action sequences that were nothing more than video game sequences ruined it for me.
 
We rented "Out of the Furnace" the other week. It's a gritty drama about two brothers, starring Christian Bale.

I thought it was pretty good, the Mrs. gave it a "meh".

What movie did you see recently, and did you like it?

I rented it a few weeks ago, same exact thing happend. I thought it was pretty good, the wife MEH!
 
The Wolf of Wall Street. Pretty good flick. A little much on nudity and language but ...... seems that's "normal" today.
 
Ender's Game. I enjoyed it, and since it is one of the best sci-fi books I've ever read, I was prepared to be disappointed. My wife also thought it was a really entertaining movie. She had no idea about the storyline.
 
In a theater? "Return of the Jeddai" (first release) I don't like crowds and haven't stood in a line since the Army. If I wait long enough, it either comes on TV or my son buys the DVD and I watch it then.
 
Just watched "The Illusionist" with Edward Norton,Paul Giamatti and Jessica Biel. Anything with Norton or Giamatti gets a thumbs-up from me! And Miss Biel is real easy on the eyes. ;)

f.t.

I agree. My wife and I thought that was a very good movie
 
Divergent

Is was quite good.

I saw this at the theatre with my 14 year old son, his 16 year old cousin and his friend. All of us thought it was a good movie.

I just watched Prisoners on HBO and I thought it was really good. It did not end like I thought it would.
