Last movie you watched......

Saw Obvious Child last night. It wasn't bad but had to be a classical case of critical overpraise. If you're going to do a comedy about abortion, going for a lot of cheap laffs probably isn't the best way.

 

There's a movie starring Natalie Portman of the same name and same quality, apparently. One of the worst movies I've seen in the past 10 years. Maybe "The Dream House" competes, but it's neck-and-neck.

 

The thing about this movie was, the cast had great chemistry. Diaz, Leslie Mann and Upton were cute together and seemed like they genuinely enjoyed being friends. Put the three of them into a movie with a decent script and I think it would have been a big hit.

The plot was just so derivative, predictable, unfunny and generally awful (complete with the obligatory piece-of-shit guy getting his comeuppance), it wasn't worth watching.

 

great movie. I even bought it at the grocery store, used, for 4.99

 

'Killer Joe' - I liked it.

 

Killer Joe is fantastic. An extremely messed up movie with an even more f-ed up ending, but a fantastic film. McConaughey, as of late, has been on a roll.

 

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty: While overall, it was a pretty stupid movie, it did have its endearing moments and the ending was fantastic. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars.

 

Finally got clear of all preseason football crap and I've invited my wofe to join me for a re-watch of "Guardians of the Galaxy." Not sure the last time I paid good money to see a first-run something again ... ever?

 

Ghostbusters. Never gets old.

 

I saw "Pacific Rim" on DVD tonight, and afterward wondered what took me so long. A good big-budget update of those Japanese monster movies I used to watch on TV when I was a kid.

 

Agreed. This movie far exceeded my expectations. It was really fun. Would have liked to see them battle in broad daylight a little more, but it was still really well done.

 

I was disappointed in 'Pacific Rim,' and one of my complaints was that it was too dark. Not too dark in tone but actually too dark.
