Old Dogs
2012

and recently watched an old classic "Goonies".. That movie never gets old.. :)

The Blind Side was an amazing movie.

Hopefully, I'll sneak in to see The Princess and the Frog. :X

I'll probably get boo'd, but New Moon was so much better than Twilight. I had the opportunity to see the Premiere in Tokyo before it even opened in the States. It was so much better seeing it in a Japanese theater. There were no obnoxious teens (or wives for that matter) screaming everytime Jacob took his shirt off.

I was diggin ongbak 2 this was the most brutal film of 09.

I'm with you, Adam, "The Goonies" is a great movie. I used to read the "Famous Five" series by Enid Blyton when I was a kid. "The Goonies" is nothing more than a big screen adaptation of the "Famous Five".

Recently, I enjoyed re-watching "Almost famous" and "L.A. Confidential".

Body of Lies
Traitor
Valkyrie

These 3 have to be the best movies I have seen this year without a doubt!

Also saw Eagle Eye, Cloverfield, The Happening, 21 and they were all really good (oh and both the Narnia movies, but this is a childhood fave of mine anyway!)....

My fave movie though has to be Black Hawk Down!

Paranormal activity is really scary.. G.I.Joe is pretty good.. District 9 is ok but I wouldn't buy it.. Carriers is pretty good.

Twilight, and the new second Twilight Moon... I watched both of them back to back..

The second movie for Twilight was so much better than the first, Adam. I'm wondering what the third will be like with a new director. Again.

I saw "Avatar" today, much better than I figured. I MUST see this is in 3D.

"Up In The Air" was also a lot better than I thought it would be. And "The Lovely Bones"! So good.

For "Older" movies that came out this last year I'd recommend "District 9", "Whip It" and "Zombieland". All great movies even if you don't like those kind of "genres". I waited on all of them because I was pessimistic but in the end I was pleasantly surprised.

My wife and I just watched "The Lovely Bones", I was actually impressed. The movie held my attention even though the subject matter seemed kind of iffy to me at first. I recommend it. Avatar was good but like Elizabeth said and everyone I talked to it needs to be seen in 3D to really appreciate it. I'll have to see it in 3D later. Sherlock Holmes was ok but not what I was expecting.

I liked this movie a lot. I didnt even know it was based on a true story until the end of the movie.. I never saw the preview, before going to see it, I just saw the movie starting at 8:30pm on Friday at Benny Decker and went to see it..

EDITED: I just removed the video that auto-played..  To watch the preview, go to the link below.

I saw "Avatars" recently, it was just as good as when I watched it 20 years ago when it was called "Dances with Wolves".

I go to the movies every friday and i cant think of many great ones ive seen recently,but the ones i do remember from last year that i loved were observe and report!,quarantine,paranormal activity,the road and the werestler

Sherlock Holmes. It was niiiiiiiiice. Ahhh, memories of Robert Downey Jr. with his shirt off.... *ahem* okay, back to reality...

I just cannot bring myself to see that Twilight movie. I played more x rated plots with my Barbies, and seriously, when that vampire glitters in the first movie? So glitter is scary? Note to self: cover body with glitter so when in sunlight and someone tries to mug me, I will have the upper hand.

hands down, AVATAR in 3D is the best movie seen since Star Trek. Get over to Daie and see it. And if you are a big movie buff see it in 3D IMAX in Yokohama... you'll be blown away.

The road was damn good just do your best not to sniffle lol. They tried to give Will Smith a run for his money.

Angels & Demons, Hangover & Paranormal Activities.



I wanna see 2012 though, but I was terrified just by watching the trailer. They look real!!!

Sherlock Holmes ... drool. Actually, I was surprised it was a Guy Ritchie movie, because it was good. Twilight was hilarious and I really hope New Moon is, too, because the book was also unintentionally funny.

Avatar 3D IMAX

I just got back from the Benny Decker Theater. I watched "DEAR JOHN" It wasnt bad..

hahaha come on adamn, well never mind you dont go for goofey movies. Check out the alice movie, and from paris with love was ok for down load lol.

I have time for a movie every now and again. I have to show my wife a little bit of time. You see where I am again... Back on JB.. I have a ton of work to catch up on. Going to be pretty busy this weekend, so I usually try to free up a couple hours for her each weekend, so I can have my space.

I loved Avatar, and Sherlock Holmes. Those are probably the only recent movies I've seen.
Goonies was one of my all time faves...along with the Dark Crystal when I was a kid. Although, when I tried to watch the dark crystal as an adult, I had a hard time staying awake. Not sure it was the movie though.
I really want to see the blind side, but I think it will make me cry.

Was it just me or was Alice in Wonderland just tooooo boring?  I'm not sure but I think I fell asleep. Somehow I expected more...

I really want to see Alice in Wonderland, but I'd need to take the kids and I'm not sure it's okay for them. They're afraid of Labyrinth, for crying out loud.

There's nothing else that's kid-friendly that wouldn't make me want to stab myself in the eyes with a straw, so we're just kind of avoiding the theater until summer, I guess.

We just watched Surrogates and Gamer recently. They're kinda similar in ways but very different, Gamer of course is very explicit, heh heh. They both turned out better than I thought, def recommend them.

And all you Modern Warfare players, Gamer is totally for you.

Omg ADAM! you freaked me out. I clicked on this thread, it brought me to the bottom of the page and I hear some crazy movie preview and I trying to figure where it was coming from, I didn't SEE the preview, only heard it. I thought my PC was taken over by ghosts!

Alice in Wonderland was amazing... if you saw it in 3D. Like Avatar, I could see where it falls a bit flat without the technology.

But, with it...WOW!

@Adina, what age kids? I was gonna say Alice is ok for kids, but I just remembered that a mouse plucked out the eyeball of a monster with a needle, and another monster got his head chopped off. Oh, and Alice had to traipse across a moat using dead, floating heads as stepping stones. But other than that, it's pretty much ok for kids. Oh, and Alice drinks the blood of a dead animal. hmmm, I guess not so G-rated the more I think about it. :-P

My son is 7 and my daughters are almost 5 and maybe we'll be waiting to rent the DVD after that description. Bugger.

Adina, I think your girls would love How to Train Your Dragon. They were showing it today, but I didn't know until a few minutes ago, so I have to wait until Monday. -.-

And really, I don't remember the drinking blood part... O_o But it was a good movie otherwise, and as always, going to be a little dark for a Tim Burton movie. DUR!

I think it's crap that we had to wait a week for Alice, yet we got Dragons RIGHT AWAY!!! If I had known, I wouldn't have spent ALL day at the shelter. Just until noon...

It's crap they aren't really playing Alice! They played it the first weekend it was out, now it's only every once in a while, 8:30 on weeknights mostly... how am I supposed to take my kids to see it? We couldn't it make it last Sunday, and it's not playing over the next couple weekends. I hope they keep it a while and people have more chances to see it at kid friendly times.

Just got back from the states recently and saw "How to Train Your Dragon" in IMAX 3D. It was quite excellent! The picture was so clear it was shocking. Just wasn't used to that kind of quality.

Know what I really like? That our teeny tiny widdle movie theater still manages to SHOCK me with the brand-new blockbusters sometimes. I really like that, it's not a slam on the theater folks!

It's really fun when the summer blockbusters start arriving next month. I don't know how they get them, but for some movies they open HERE at the same time as the US (in some instances, like the Star Wars one in 2005, it opened here 11 hours before it opened in the US. SUPER COOL!)

I just watched The Cove (winner, best documentary 2009 Academy Awards), that's the latest movie I've seen. One word, one syllable: YIKES. Great movie, pretty powerful movie. The kind you need to watch and then go to a burger milkshake joint to talk and debate. And I like how they got MORE Mission:Impossible than the movie-version of Mission:Impossible.

And the film isn't a slam against Japan (I thought it would be). It's not at all.
