Anyone seen a good movie lately?

Saw Shawshank Redemption for the god knows what time again this weekend.  Damn what a great movie.  How Forrest Gump destroyed it at the Academy Awards back in 95 is beyond me.  10+++/10

Watched Shutter Island last weekend on netflix.  Very impressed.   9/10.  Fine job by DiCaprio.

shawshank is obviously awesome but so was gump....nothing wrong with thinking either was the best picture that year....imo its not in the top 20 bad oscar calls

i thought shutter island was an aids infested poop filled rectum of a movie.....so disappointing when taking into consideration the pedigree of the people involved

hunger games - completely average in every way....the premise was pretty interesting but the execution was overly long....there was no investment required in the movie...from the first 15 minutes all i wanted to see was the last 15 minutes to see how they would wrap up a foregone conclusion

5/10

Wow

when someone starts off a thought with "im not racist" you can be pretty sure something racist is about to be said

the amazing thing is people are perfectly fine broadcasting their racism for everyone to see. one dude in there full on said stillupfront.

are people that farging stupid. wait. yes they are.

he typed sense thinking it was since...dropping the n word was just the cherry on top of his idiocy

how about the dude who cared less about the character because he was black?

and now you know why people vote for rick santorum

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Thresh and Rue are clearly supposed to be black, but you can't expect bigoted nimrods to read.

Just when I thought I couldn't be less interested in this retardedly hyped-up movie, I read this.

Thanks.

[General_Failure]

Because those characters are black, huh?

[SunMo]

i love when people have to tell you how aggressively uninterested they are in something

[Rome]

You really are an exceptional person and we're all thankful to have you here to guide us toward becoming better people.

[SunMo]

you're ugly

In other news, Hunger Games was a well-made movie. Maybe a little bit too much of the shaky camera effect, but it makes sense with the source material. Jennifer Lawrence... can get it.

We waited a little while for the crowds to die down, buI can't say that I hated it. Some of the combat scenes were like cinéma vérité after too many double cappuccinos. Usually that's a way for a director to hide poor fight choreography, which is possible in this case.

Still, I liked it a little more than I thought I would. The wife has read the whole series, she's interested to see how they play out the remaining pieces.

Watched "To Kill A Mockingbird" last night for the first time in years.  My son had just read it last quarter so the timing was perfect.  What a great movie.  Gregory Peck at his finest (portrayal of Captain Ahab close second).  Pretty cool seeing a young Robert Duvall.

[Munson]

I had completely forgotten about Duvall being Boo Radley til I watched it the other night


Peck was pretty damn good in The Omen as well.

[Don Ho]

Totally forgot about The Omen.  Great movie.  Peck was also excellent in The Boys from Brazil where he played Josef Mengele.  He's been in some pretty damn good movies.
