To compliment the "now reading" thread, how about a thread to discuss what you're watching. Whether it be theatrical release, dvd, tv, or whatever else, offer up some recommendations, critiques and the like. This isn't necessarily to replace the new movie threads, but rather to serve as a supplement.

A few movies I've seen recently that I liked:

-There will be Blood
-Atonement
-Juno
-Goya's Ghosts
-Blue Velvet(again)

And I've been revisiting my Twin Peaks dvds.

... My hopes and dreams swirl gently down the drain.

But seriously, Iron man was a badass movie and I'm gonna catch the new Narnia this weekend. Also full on into Bones and House and unbeatable banzuke...

it's amazing what bad CG can do to your brain cells

I've been on a horror kick again lately. I watched The Devil's Advocate the other night. I have both Fright Night and Silver Bullet to watch sometime soon. I've been wanting to revisit the Halloween series, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Fright Night is in my collection too, and a personal favorite. I always kinda thought The Burbs(which I also like) took a little bit from it.

Silver Bullet, is that the werewolf movie with Corey Haim in the wheelchair?

Rider of Theli · May 13th, 2008, 03:40 PM

finally caught two movies this past weekend on DVD:

Cloverfield... bit of a letdown, just like I had read. But it was 'ok'.
Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix... meh, the earlier movies are better IMO; never read a single book.

hoping to make it to a theater this weekend for a double feature of Iron Man and Prince Caspian

Pellaz · May 14th, 2008, 12:34 AM

I probably won't get to a theater to see movies until after the RennFaire ends, since I work evenings during the week and the Faire tends to wear one out during the weekends...making a movie outing more like "let's pay $9 to sit in a dark room and fall asleep". Or so I fear.

Definitely want to see Prince Caspian, probably Iron Man and posssibly Speed Racer.

Just watched: The Outsiders on DVD. It was Ripper's choice (one of his favorite books as well), but the choice was fine with me as well.

Yeah, it's dated, but it's still a cool Stephen King movie. What are your horror flick favorites? Keep in mind, I'm not talking slasher flicks. I'm not into those.
