Movie thread

Opened last night here in NZ. You won't get it until next week unless you grab it online.

Usually try to wait until stuff has come out on On-Demand or DVD...quality is a lot better.

I watched The House on the plane last week - wasn't impressed, and yes, i did enjoy The Big Lebowski, but that was smart comedy. The House was dumb, although I did get a few chuckles.

Exactly this.

My wife and I went to see Thor on Saturday.  I highly recommend it!  We were laughing throughout the movie.  I never thought I'd be that excited over a Thor movie, but they did a great job changing up the mood from the last one.

Agreed! We went to see it on Saturday, too. I'd seen that it got really good reactions, but didn't really understand what the plot was from the trailer. But, all that being said, we both really enjoyed it! It was really funny.

And there are two surprise scenes in the credits, one at the very. very end (which didn't seem to have any significance to me).

Have you seen the other (2) Thor movies?

I can't remember. (True story)

did they drop Padme from this one?

She hasn't been in a Marvel movie since Thor 2. I've read in multiple articles that she doesn't want anything to do with it anymore.

Yeah there was character who mentioned to Thor that he had been dumped by her, and he shot back that he dumped her, not the other way around. Kind of funny.

the 1st Thor was kind of good in the same way the movie "small soldiers" is watchable, on a cold rainy day when nothing else was on..

The internets tell me this is the travel stop from the diner scene in Dumb n dumber a.k.a. The sea bass scene. - I didn't go inside but it sure doesn't look like the movie

Cool! This is the only shot from the movie I could find. Obviously looks much older based on when the movie came out (1994 - check out those gas pumps and the price of gas!). Perhaps they remodeled/upgraded?

I only watched because of Cate Blanchett.  It was ok but I certainly wouldn't go to the theaters to see it.

Finally saw Ghost in the Shell. I really liked it, but it would definitely lose some appeal for someone who wasnt familiar with the original animated movie/series.

Feed for “The Dark Tower” is good now since it came out on DVD so I watched that on my day off on Friday. It was fine. It’s been too long since I read the book, and I only read the first one, so I can’t comment on how well it follows King’s story. It did seem like the whole thing was rushed. It’s like they were building up to a finale that never happened...everything was wrapped up too quick and easy.

We went to see Daddy's Home 2 yesterday, mainly for something to do other than sit in the house and watch the snow pile up. I'd like to say it was exactly what I expected, but it was actually a little less than I expected. Bleh. total waste of money.

And today was the latest Transformers movie.  Not sure why everyone said it was so awful...relative to the other Transformer movies anyway.  It was just like all the other ones...big, loud, and explosions.  Good mindless entertainment on a cold rainy day.

Saw Transformers: The Last Knight on the flight back and it was pretty terrible, even by the standards for that series.  The first two had some form of continuity and logic which disappeared in the later movies.

Finally got around to seeing It and definitely recommend.  Pretty fantastic movie.

Saw the new Murder on the Orient Express movie. Having just read the book, it definitely took some liberties from the book, I suppose to make it a little bit more dramatic. I would say it's entertaining, but not necessarily good.

is there basically nothing coming out this Christmas season other than Star Wars?
