We also watched Argo. Everyone thought it was pretty good. We all understood that it was only loosely based on the facts of what actually happened...It opened up a nice discussion about the Iranian hostage crisis around the Tex house.

.
If I wanted to see something loosely based on the facts I'd just watch the Fox news!
Fixt. ;)

 
I'm a child of the 80's and love world war 3 movies but I have never been able to get more than 30 minutes into Red Dawn. Does it get better after 30 minutes or is just have more of the same overacting/ridiculous plot going on? The guys I grew up with that liked it were like the dudes on Hot tub Time Machine. That movie cracks me up.

Well, my boys are 12 and 17 and they watched it again last night before the rental expired...so if you are mentally the same age as them...you'll probably like it. ;)

But like I said, they watched the new one.

 
About Cherry - The tale of an 18yo's decent into the pr0n industry. Some decent nekkidness, but a total waste of time and a try 'why did I watch this' type of movie.

Killer Joe - Now this was some f'up shizzit here. Mathew McConnahey (however you spell it) as a psycho hitman involved in some trailer trash dirty dealings. I heard this film got an NC-17 rating and was edited down to get an R. Pretty rough movie in parts (Gina Gershon bj'ing a chicken drumstick was...um...weird, as was Killer Joe's fascination with some barely legal trailer park bimbo. I felt dirty, in an 8mm sort of way.

Boring...I kept falling asleep therefore I didn't make it through the whole thing, so if anyone has seen it and thinks I should continue on let me know.

 
I watched a 2003 movie called Paycheck on cable. Starred Ben Affleck. Fairly decent action flick, but the "action" was way over the top.

Speaking of over the top action....I saw the A-team remake movie for the first time with Liam Neeson. I'd give a 3 of 5.

The old one. I haven't seen the new one yet. Saw Taken 2 this weekend. The first was better, but this one didnt suck too bad. I'll bet #3 will be awesome.

 
I watched John Carter over the weekend. It wasn't a great movie but it wasn't as bad as all the reviews said it was. It was a sci-fy action type movie so it fit my expectations. I would say 3/5 not a must see but a lot better than what I had heard about it.

 
Anybody ever watch "Merlin" on Netflix? I was skeptical at first but it has turned into an addicting show. My wife has even gotten into it and she usually doesn't like the medieval/magic type shows. I think we only have about 8 episodes left to watch. Besides this being a huge waste of time for other more productive things we could be doing, I would take watching "Merlin" over most of the other junk that I've found on netflix.

 
Hotel Transylvania - Meh. Nowhere near as good as Monster House or some of the newer movies, but still worth a $1.60-something rental for the night.

 
I got to give 3-1/4 stars out of 5 for 7 Phsycopaths.. not really a high intensity movie, but defin worth watching when you aint got nothing better to do...

Not a movie, but I freakin' loved House of Cards on Netflix. One of the best series out there right now, and can't wait for the second season.

 
We bought Wreck-it Ralph for the kiddos last week. That movie is really funny and the kids love it. Tons of great references to "old school" video games for those of us who grew up playing them...
