The Martian, all around great movie! Good plot and excellent acting, a few blunders with reality but hey it's a movie and I can overlook stuff. A feel good movie with a great ending.

Gonna watch that.

I just watched this Sunday myself. I really did enjoy this movie. The best part was when he blew his project up...lol. I also liked how he was in shape at the beginning of the movie and how skinny and fragile he was near the end. If that was him and not a skinny body double.

I enjoyed how he did not care if he was live with his language..lol.

Yes was a great movie, might have to put this one in my collection.

I liked everything but the ending, I can suspend belief for a movie, but c'mon that was just silly.

Saw Deadpool yesterday with my wife. Almost as enjoyable as Guardians of the Galaxy. Quite a few laugh out loud moments. Lots of action, some sexual situations, and lots of violence. It has the requisite Marvel scenes after the movie is over and after the credits. Will watch again when it comes to on demand or a premium channel just to pick up on all the subtle dialog.

Silly but i'm fine with it, for once a feel good movie where nobody died simply because they thought it would add to the suspense. I like movies with happy endings not like that pos movie Seven, what a depressing waste of time that was. Walked out of the theater and wanted to go shoot myself.

I just watched Armageddon again the other day, after that most space movies are going to come up short.

Haha, sorry but I have to lol a little at that. I kind of felt like that with Seven too, although I still like the movie on the whole. But I'm also a bit of a sucker for movies where the hero doesn't save the day.

I also agree on the ending of The Martian. I absolutely love that movie except for the 'Iron Man' scene. I feel like they could have found a better way to get him on the ship and still have it suspenseful.

Hitman Agent 47, watched it on the plane. Decent action and a huge body count, plot was so-so but it was decent enough to waste 90 minutes.

Very good movie, particularly for the budget. Ryan Reynolds deserves most of the credit since he was so persistent to get it green-lighted. I'm not sure anyone else could play the character as well as he did. Will definitely buy the overpriced blu-ray/did bundle with extras.

nahh deadpool not my thing i dont like silly superhereo movies I want them to be serious. I went to see the new star wars again yesterday.

[DubfromGA]

Sicario.


Excellent movie. FBI agents recruited into covert drug task force unit gearing up to take down a particular cartel.

Josh Brolin & Benecio Del Torro's characters are outstanding.

[ArturTrains]

how about Creed? worth watching?

[DubfromGA]

I thoroughly enjoyed Creed.

Good flick.

[stingray72]

I just watched la confidential for 1997 lots of stars and a good movie. Im getting ready to watch wishmaster 1-4 from 97 - 02.

[stingray72]

Wishmaster sucked I just got done watching "soldier" from 1998 with kurt russle and jason scott lee....Good movie if you all havent seen it.

[Corbi]

No English channels here so watched "The Great Escape" in Italian. Even dubbed it's still a great movie.

[Twitched]

This! Sicario was a great movie, characters and actors were great.

The wife and I watched Room last night and all I can say is....f*ck me. Damn people cutting onions when I'm trying to watch a movie. Brie Larson definitely deserved that oscar - she was amazing. The kid was also terrific.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about since I saw it. Great movie but I honestly hope I never see it again.

[stingray72]

I went to see triple 9 yesterday and overall id say its a no go.

[Corbi]

11 hr flight provided plenty of time to watch a few movies, will start with the bad ones.

Hunger Games, Mocking Jay part 2. More of the same bs and completely predictable, waste of time.

Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials. Not sure what the fuk this wretched movie was about, the original Maze Runner I was ok with, weird plot idea but I went with it. This one was asinine and turned into a ripoff zombie type movie.

Ted 2. I didn't have high hopes for this but honestly I laughed my ass off more than a few times. I'm not big on the pot smoking aspect but I was able to put that aside and there were some funny parts as well as cameos by actors such as Liam Neeson, Jay Leno, Morgan Freeman, etc.

Creed. Say what you will about Stallone but the guy knows how to make a hell of a boxing movie. Great idea, plot, acting, etc. All around enjoyable film.

A face palm just can't cover this......

[stingray72]

I went to see Gods of Egypt on tuesday and I was not impressed.

[stingray72]

A face palm just can't cover this......

I liked the ones he hated and didnt like the ones he liked haha.

[Wayne Evans]

We checked out San Andreas a few days ago....

Well....I'm not to adverse to Dwayne Johnson's acting in general but this one was just underwhelming to me.
The wifster liked it better than I did.
Some good FX but not one I'd strive to watch again any time soon.

To be fair to The Rock we did like Rundown.
I'm not hot on the Fast and Furious series but we did see #7 and I thought is was better than SA.

Carry on....

I was the opposite on this one as well haha.

[stingray72]

Anyone who likes the movie "would you rather" should watch the movie "circle" from 2015 on netflix.

I concur, I liked how in the circle movie the players had no idea what was happening to those that were "selected" nor . The ending was an interesting twist too. Well, just my thoughts.

Yeah I didnt see the ending coming at all.

I just watched the movie "mimic" from 1997 and thought it was decent so if you get a chance check it out. Also I went to see that cloverfield movie at the theaters yesterday and man did that suck.

San Andreas sucked worse than the John Cusack version 2012. And F&F 7 pretty much sucked as well. Damn we need to stop watching all these sucky movies.
