What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

Yeah, The Conjuring is a pretty good horror flick.

No idea how it got an R rating though.

Just saw The Conjuring last week.. hmm.. a bit disappointed to be honest... (given all the rave reviews I saw).


May be I've seen too many Asian Horror films.. but this was a leisurely train ride in comparison.

I saw Thor: The Dark World Saturday and really enjoyed it. Darker than most Marvel movies, but yet somehow had at least as much cheesy humor too.

Ender's Game. Total ****. Good book though.

Unfortunately this is true. It felt more like one of those 60-second movies re-enacted by bunnies than it did a big-screen adaptation of one of the best sci-fi novels ever written. Thoroughly disappointed. The good thing is, it was so crappy it will not be able to replace any of the mental imagery I have from reading the novel. The very best thing in it was the representation of the hive-queen (how she looked physically). And Kingsley did a decent job as a truncated version of Rackham. But that was the problem, ultimately, the entire move felt truncated. It would have been better to be presented as 2 movies, like Kill Bill. Instead of cutting Kill Bill down until it was unwatchable, he just split it into 2 movies which worked well. Would have worked for Ender's Game too.

That was my issue as well. I took my son to watch it. I haven't gone to watch a movie, except when dragged to a kids movie, in about 12 years. I hate movie theaters but really wanted to watch this one with my son. I was disappointed but my son thought it was pretty good. I figure it's the disappointment from reading the book. The movie wasn't terrible but there were so many times I felt like they didn't set-up the plot points properly and just jammed them in there. This really did need to be 2 movies to do the book justice.

Could have been so much better.
 
Grownups 2. One of the top 10 worst movies I have seen. I torrented it and still feel like I got ripped off.
