Movie thread

We watched Spectre on blu-ray the other night.  Pretty entertaining Bond flick.  Worth a rental.

Saw the new Xmen movie yesterday. Wasn't the best of the group, but not the worst.

Watched The Intern yesterday.  Not a great movie, but had some laughs.

The X-men mostly just made me want to look at my watch and wonder when it was going to end.  

I guess I'm finally coming to terms with the reality of U.S. movie prices, but the new X-Men, more than others, made me realize that I'd much rather just watch at home, than spend $60 on tickets and refreshments, and have to sit in piss-smelling, sticky-floored public theater where you get treated like a criminal (had to go back out to the car to put away my son's iPad, because heaven forbid he might record the movie).

we watched the 2006 Miami Vice movie (with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx) on cable last night.  I'd rate as so-so.  I found it difficult to follow with too much gratutious sex.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I agree with this to some extent.  However, for some of the more blockbuster type movies (i.e. Star Wars), it's still fun to go with a group of friends.  Plus our local theater added the "dream loungers" and a bar.  That makes it a bit more enticing and somewhat easier to justify the added cost.

we can go to a matinee and for 2 people, get tickets, drinks, popcorn and box of candy for about $16

We have stimulus Tuesday here where it's $5.50/ticket + small drinks and small popcorn is $2/each.

Work gives us 4 AMC tix for our birthday every year, I keep them and use them for myself throughout they year if I want to see something without the herd..(like that terrible captain America movie)  but we typically don't go to many movies as a family anymore except for the ones like Star Wars, we try and keep it to 2-3  a year and spend the money on other stuff, like ski passs..

We saw the Angry Bird movie in 3D yesterday. My daughter liked it. I thought it was OK.

I forgot to comment on this.  I took my son to see this, too, and thought it was pretty mediocre.  Now they are advertising it as "this year's Lego Movie".  It most certainly is NOT!  The Lego Movie was 100 times a better and more original, interesting movie than Angry Birds, which feels exactly like what it is - an attempt to fit a plot to the mindless game.

Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I was taking a crap while I watched it, like with the game.

Today in Geek History: In 1985, The Goonies was released and truffle shuffled into our hearts forever. :lmao:

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Saw that just a month or so ago.  My wife had never seen it as a kid so naturally she had to sit through it with me.  Can't watch it now without thinking, damn Samwise Gamgee was pretty young back then.

[Ramnares P.E.]

Never played the game or watched the movie, nor plan to.

You don't know what your dumps have been missing.

Saw Civil War last night finally (still sold out even being so long out) and thought it was middle of the road for Marvel Films.
