The Unofficial Ongoing Current Movies in Theaters thread

[Art Shirk]

Throw you comments/recommendations/criticisms in here for movies that are currently in the theater. Or don't, this is unofficial after all.

Going to the movies with my squaw today and am looking for a recommendation. It looks like a mix of regurgitated scyfi crap, some 6th iteration movie where Vin Diesel pretends that he isn't 5'2'' again, Wedding Crashers 2 and a Johnny Depp movie that doesn't star Johnny Depp.

Where to turn? Am I missing a gem?

Wife and I really enjoyed Mud

[The Suit]

Wife, daughter, and I saw Man of Steel a couple days ago. Two thumbs sideways and one thumb down.

So, we saw The Internship as we both needed something that wouldn't completely offend our hangovers. We got what we paid for. Vaughn and Owen refilled the best friend roles well. A couple laughs, some air-conditioning and a failed handy request. Pretty par for the course.

This is the End is hilarious and poignant.

[Diamond Joe]

World War Z sucked

completely went away from the book, which is a bad thing. Wasnt a good movie even if you didnt read the book, Walking Dead on AMC for FREE is way better. fucking stupidest zombies in awhile, and the "fresh new take on zombies" they promise (I.e., the premise of millions of them acting as a horde, like ants would), you see the best parts of in the previews.

.... fucking stupidest zombies in awhile ...

Agree, although I liked "chompy" outside the pathogen lab where Brad was trapped.


Saw White House Down yesterday: moderately entertaining.

[systemoverblow'd]

Sorry, but I found the movie really boring.

The BAD review of White House Down was "best Die Hard movie this century". Funny Vanity Fair piece on World War Z...even funnier now that it sounds like the movie is a POS

[AK47bp]

Superman sucked
World War Z was entertaining
Star Trek was good

I always ignore the "the book was way better" comments because I don't read fiction books. It's nice to not have a storyline you are constantly comparing to a book while you watch a movie, then judge the movie on how true it was to the book. Being lazy and illiterate has its benefits

[Chainsaw_Willie]

I liked Superman.

Star Trek was very entertaining. Good retelling of the Khan story.

Now You See Me is pretty good. Good plot twist at the end.

I'm wondering what the hell this upcoming Wolverine movie is about. Haven't we seen just about everything there is to see about Wolverine in the last few years?

[nickwm21]

This is the end - good
Star trek - good



sent from the future using my mind powers

[Meadow Skipper]

Lone Ranger - I can't recommend it, but the wife said she "enjoyed it."

[Diamond Joe]

oh ya, I liked Star Trek a lot. is that even still in the theaters though?

almost as good as the first one. and I was never a fan until these two movies

Europa Report: interesting but fundamentally flawed - sort-of smart people cracking under pressure and not following standard safety protocols on an alien planet.

Duh.

Dude, they just made Fast and Furious ........... 6. And, I'll bet they're thinking of 7.

[spook]

i can't suspend my disbelief anymore

Dude it's already done, in post-production. Comes out next summer. No shit.

The Fast and the Furious 7: Timing Belt Issues

The Fast and the Furious 7: Timing Belt Issues

Fast and the Furious 8: Does anyone have a Carfax log in I could use?

[Hugh Conway]

meh, the FF are just dumb popcorn movies. i kinda wish there were more dumb popcorn movies than shamalamadingdong pretentious shit, or jjabrams convoluted thriller crap, or anything involving vampires

FF9: we really are good drivers, despite the tickets, crashes and scared passengers.

[warthog]

Fast and Furious 9- Fuck this shit, tires are too expensive.

[PNWbrit]

Fast & Furious 9 - now on DVD with Dan Samas and director's commentary.

[Benny Profane]

FF12: Baby's got a little belly, time to shop for a minivan.

Imagine the drive to the hospital.

[Jumper Bones]

WWZ was ok. Entertaining and yup I liked the chompers.

Believe it or not there are some nuggets from the book. The book, however, was still vastly superior. It's like they didn't even try.
