Malkovich was AWESOME in Red. Such an underrated movie! Or at least I think it was underrated seeing as how there was so little fan fare for it.

Love the cameo by Borgnine as well haha. That caught me off guard in the theatre.

I was stunned to realize Borgnine was alive - wow, just checked, he's freakin' 94! RED was a really fun film, but Bruce Willis kind of stuck out a bit in what should have been more of an ensemble film. Helen Mirren proves you can be really sexy at 60+.

I like True Grit a lot, I thought it was a lovely simple story well told. I then rented the '69 film. It doesn't hold up, sorry Retro. I mean, it's got The Duke, but Kim Darby and Glen Campbell both kinda stunk. And the 1969 production design was nowhere near the standard we expect now; sets, locations and costumes were comparatively lame. The music in the new version was amazing, and Jeff Bridges is growing into being the Gene Hackman of his generation.

The King's Speech is an amazing movie. I have been wondering about how it was pitched to investors. "So there's this King, and he needs to make a speech, and he stutters..."

The Black Swan was also amazing, but I didn't really like it.

Someone mentioned Boondock Saints in this thread above. I liked the first one, it seemed like a really audacious Indie film. The second was rather poor. Then I saw "Overnight," the doc about Troy Duffy. Wow, what an, er, character. Knowing the backstory added a lot to the whole deal.

One fun surprise lately was Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Really fun mystery caper film from 5 or 6 year ago in the pre Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. era.

I really enjoyed The Kings Speach, suprisingly funny.
Watched Black Swan yesterday and it was ok, not sure what all the fuss was about it.

Unless you are a voting member of the Academy, I would not be posting publicly that you have watched these many still-in-the-theatre movies on DVD.

I remember Borgnine, he was in Airwolf, right? Surprise he is still around. Wow!

Just saw Borgnine in Vera Cruz with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster...Bronson had a bit part too.
What a dude...seems like a hellva nice guy when you hear him talk about his movie days.

[skitta]

Saw 'Salt' last night. Fight scenes well choreographed; *lots* of good stunt work. Wouldn't really recommend it

Surprisingly, I enjoyed 'Hereafter' and would recommend it.

[omnivore]

Watched LA Battle today with family- loved it.

[RockerGuy]

Limitless was pretty good but I had high expectations as I've seen the trailer a while ago and thought it was really cool and than read a review recently and it said the movie was good.

The "ending" was a let down though. Movie felt very unfinished.

[HunGJaI]

Limitless - Good Movie....I need that pill
Adjustment bureau - Not Bad...
Battle LA - Just watch it for the "action scenes" acting was ****...Go US Go
Rango - Cute for kids...

[LiNK666]

Avoid these if you can. Otherwise you'll be hurling all the way.

[Kokla]

Watch ALOT of friggen movies...

only real recommendation is Black Swan. (No need to back it up, I was close to crying, (Whoa skorpio))

and tron cause it has light bikes in it and it has a naive Oliva Wilde, like wtf else could you want.

Ya I have mixed feelings about that movie. Olivia Wilde was freakin hot in that movie...but on the other hand...that movie sucked.

The special effects were great, though. The whole young Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner thing was freaky.

[Deimos]

Watched The Mechanic last week at a matinee. It's what you'd expect from a statham movie these days, entertaining and some parts were funny. Don't pay full price to see it though.

[zacm7]

Sanctum...its was OK. story line was not written well, 3D was "cool" but not needed at all! save the $15 and download it when it comes to dvd or veetle.com

Fighter...Awesome marky mark and all the cast were played very well! excellent movie.

Let it Ride, story of Craig Kelly (snowboarder)...This is possible the best snowboard film (docu-style) ever made with deeper as a close second.
