what was the last movie you watched?
- Thread starter Folsom Al
- Start date
I like those movies, particularly Predator but none had the depth of Total Recall. The question of whether or not any of it happened is worth revisiting on each viewing. I guess because I was 16 or 17 when I first saw it I always have taken the "it happened" viewpoint but repeat viewings make me at least see the other side.
Running Man is pure guilty pleasure with the pro-wrestlers, Dynamo who was more memorable from The Wanderers and Stir Crazy and of course Richard Dawson who may be my favorite game show host ever.
I watched Taken last night. You pretty much know how this is going down by glancing at the plot summary, there's no surprises here, yet it was a fun ride. Don't mess with Qui-Gon.

Well... I wound up watching G-Force last night since wifey wanted to watch something not kid-friendly upstairs. I guess the live-action/CG animal blend was a bit too non-animated for TJ to have any desire to pay any attention to so he just ran around my theater bringing me other dvds and blu-rays. I guess this would be good for the 4-10 crowd, not really much for adults here.
Its been a few weeks though I think it is running hot since even subtle bass will occasionally shake my walls. I was told that the LFE outputs on my blu-ray player are -10db so I compensated for that but even at +5 it is out of control. I may try it at neutral before I watch District 9. Hopefully tonight.
Ok watched District 9. Liked it, but will need to rewatch as I was a bit groggy. Awful commute home tonight in the snow. 4 hours + 
Anyhow, I stayed pretty spoiler free and though I thought I knew the premise it was a lot different than I was expecting. Way better looking too. I did bump my bass down and it still got heavy at the end but not enough to kick you in the gut. I may have to alternate between this for every day watching and my old setting for guy's nights.

District 9 was pretty cool.
Just tried to watch 500 days of Summer. Twice.
Aside from the Hall & Oates dance scene: (which gets 5 stars)

The rest of the movie sucked. Hated it. I found it infuriating. Waste of time. The actors were completely wrong, the story was not interesting, I got up and walked out of the room for minutes at a time (the movie could not keep my attention), and when I came back I found that I had really lost nothing by missing such a large chunk. 1.5 stars. Maybe it was just not my type of movie.
