Saw The Gray in theater...it was alright

Saw Avengers last week...loved it and wife loved it. Now I'm waiting for Spiderman, Dark Knight, GI Joe, and Expendables 2 this summer. My little sister in law during the preview of the Expendables "who are those actors"

Also watched What to Expect When Your Expecting with my wife. She was disappointed at the lack of explaination about why she is acting the way she is and was hoping a movie would get her pains across to me

Rented Contraband...good movie, but I'm an action movie junkie so it doesn't take much to please me.

Rented Idiot Brother...it was awful and not funny

Saw Act of Valor over the weekend. The acting was not so great, but didn't really expect it to be good...They were real navy SEALs. The action scenes were awesome. The boys voted the boat ambush scene with the mini-gun into their immediate top 10.

^^^ That one is on my list once it comes out on Netflix.

I realized on Sunday that we have a free promo trial for HBO & Starz to help promote the new season of True Blood. In the process, I managed to set several movies to record that I haven't seen (or haven't seen in a while). We watched Kung Fu Panda 2 last night. Pretty funny. Kids loved it.

Saw Up in the Air and The Descendants this weekend. Both George Clooney movies purporting to be comedies. they weren't comedies, in fact, they were both sad movies, but they were good.

I think we are going to the drive in this weekend to see the Avengers.

^^^ Awesome movie. I want to see it again while it's still in theatres

I saw Prometheus on opening night and was pretty disappointed. It didn't suck, but was not a great movie either. I really had a hard time following the intricacies of the plot. Not very scary either. Might be a good renter though.

we have been trying to go back and watch the individual movies for the avengers:

Ironman - worth watching

Captain America - Yawn / terrible

Hulk - pretty awful

Thor - +1 Really Good Movie (for the most part)

my kids watched dumb and dumberer over the weekend, they couldnt stop laughing for about 2 days!

for some reason we were able to get Encore channel yesterday. I recorded and watched The Green Hornet w/ Seth Rogen. Fairly entertaining but I found it annoying that he made Britt Reed and Kato out to be morons. I like the update to the Black Beauty(s) though.

Thor is currently up for streaming on Netflix.

The Netflix Blog also says that Capt. America will be up sometime this summer as well.

Agreed. Ironman is awesome. Robert Downey really plays the character Stark well IMO. Too bad C.A. isn't good (haven't seen it yet). I thought the C.A. character in Avengers was pretty good. Thor is on my list as well. As for Hulk, I assume you are referring to the Ed Norton version? I'd hate to see yet another Hulk remake but I really liked Mark R. as Bruce Banner. I think it could be re-done really well with him. Unfortunately it would be too close to the 2008 version and most people are probably "hulked" out by now. LOL

Snick you will really enjoy Avengers. Also been trying to get back to the theater to see it again. Remember to stay until the VERY END of the credits to see the bonus scene.

Remember to stay until the VERY END of the credits to see the bonus scene.

I made the mistake of waiting until the short scene half way through the credits.

 

[Dark Knight]

Did somebody see Act of Valor? My sons came back from the movie very excited about this one. No big deal, I thought, but even my daughter liked the film. They could not stop talking about a sniper scene where the target falls into the hands of a NAVY SEAL in the water(to avoid the splash sound???) :dunno:

 

[snickerd3]

we may not have a choice regarding the extra scene...since the drive in has 2 movies they tend to cut the credits short on the first movie. with as late as it has been before getting dark the first movie isn't likely to start until closer to 9.

 

[Dark Knight]

Drive In movies....ah the memories!!!!

There was one in my hometown many(but many many many) years ago. Your post brought flash backs.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

We had a drive in at my hometown as well. Not sure if it's still open or not.

Last movie I saw at a drive-in was a double feature of Transformers 3 & Cars 2 last summer. It was one of our Camaro Club events, so it was pretty cool to have an entire row of Camaro's watching Transformers...

 

[Dark Knight]

I have to admit that cannot remember any of the movies I saw on the drive in.

 

[snickerd3]

When we were younger my parents took us to the drive in. one time me mom and my sister went to the concession stand between movies and as we were getting back itno the car my dad had thought i already closed the door and wrapped his hand around the window frame only for me to close the door on his thumb...I mean the door completely closed. It took him a couple very controled "open the door" for me to even realize what happened. he sat the rest of the movie with his hand in the cooler with the ice.
