The most recent movie I watched was Social Network on DVD. I thought it was really good and it helped that it closed with "Baby You're a Rich Man" by The Beatles (that always earns bonus points with me). We don't get to go out to the movies a lot, so we watch things when they come around on DVD. However, we took our son to see Rango on spring break, it was ok.
Edit: To the discussion about The Machinist, that is a great movie. A lot of Christian Bale movies are really good.
The Machinist was a phenomenal movie. Very messed up, but really good. One of Bale's best besides American Psycho (my fav). Just watched Let Me In remake, just ok. some good scenes. The Social Network is on the coffee table waiting to be watched this weekend

I caught the last 45 min or so on tv a few weeks back...hadn't seen it for a long time.
That could have been one of the critic quotes they use on the movie posters....

Thanks. You're right...that's all that's needed to be said about that movie. That opening scene itself was crazy.

I don't even remember the opening...I need to watch it start to finish again. I was kinda disappointed when it first came out....but I think my expectations were way too high...really, how could they not have been with the team that made it....but after watching the end again, I think I would like it more now than I did then.
I watched Equilibrium....meh. Didn't love it. I didn't see the matrix connection mentioned in the review I read. Trying to be more of a 1984/V for Vendetta kinda thing. One similarity to the Matrix - they did make Christian Bale's character able to dodge bullets fired from like 100 fully automatic guns at once.... however they don't explain HOW in Equilibrium aside from training. But I guess if you're going to bitch about that, you might as well stop watching half the movies out of hollywood.....Also, the overall premise of the movie is just kinda....stupid. implausible, even for sci fi...
only moon and dark city left from my little sci fi binge....moon's up next.
Loved The Fighter! Rented it and watched it alone in my living room and clapped for like 3 minutes straight at the end sequence.
Oh, also really enjoyed Welcome to the Rileys...different and better than I thought it was going to be.

I agree, it was good!
It was...and my boyfriend and I went to see Insidious this weekend and we had to leave an hour into the movie because there was a group of teenagers sitting behind us who laughed and talked the entire time. It was so annoying and totally ruined the atmosphere for a 'scary' movie. My bf complained to the manager and got our money back..but I have to see the end now. :roll:
I thought The Fighter was just okay and not nearly as good as the hype. Christian Bale was awesome but Walhberg was pretty horrible. Dude didn't remind me of Mickey Ward a little bit.
Insidious is worth seeing, even if you have to rent it!!
We watched these 4 movies this weekend:
Tangled: very cute, I liked the chameleon (I really enjoy animated kids movies, stolen childhood :oops: )
Score~A Hockey Musical: Canadian hockey humour...in song. Pretty funny, if you are into musicals and hockey and Canada
Howl: definitely for art and poetry fans :ugeek:
Little Fockers: funny, but very similar to the others

aww..I thought Mark Wahlberg was awesome in it! But, I didn't know who Mickey Ward was until I saw it, so that might have made it different.

Well I am sure that would have helped a lot. Felt like I was watching Mark Wahlberg trying to be a boxer and not the person he was really trying to portray, if that makes any sense. I didn't hate it, just didn't think it was as good as it was made out to be.

yeah, I can understand that. Since I didn't know who he was I couldn't see it from that aspect. My dad told me later who he was and that he remembered watching his fights.

The Ward vs. Gatti fights are classic. You should check them out if you get the chance.
watched The Social Network last night. Really liked it. The pace kept up throughout and it was shot really nicely. I had to research a little this morning to see which parts were made up though. I don't facebook and haven't followed it oo much, but interesting that how many people want to get their piece of the pie when a business like that blows up.

I thought It was pretty decent, but not great.
