Watched any good movies recently? Recommend any to watch? We saw Up last night ... got it for the kids, and have to say, it kept them entertained the entire movie. My wife gave it 3 stars. The kids all gave it 5 stars.

I don't watch a lot of movies in theaters anymore. Obviously, I don't watch movies for kids (yet), but here is what I would recommend:

The Hangover 4 our of 5
Zombieland 5 out of 5
The Road 4 out of 5 (the movie is all acting and Viggo Mortensen carried the movie fantastically - possibly earning him a nomination for one of the big awards)
The Paranormal provided not a bad enough kick

I am awaiting a couple of more movies from Zip next week: The Gomorrah (I think it will be terrific) and In The Loop. These should be interesting.

The best thing about Inglourious Basterds was Christoph Waltz's spectacular acting. I am more than sure his performance will be noted by the academy awards.

We watched The Paranormal, but I was not impressed - 1 out of 5. Of course, my wife wants to watch it again. I need to keep one eye open when I sleep.

I didn't know how to quite rate it... I only mentioned it because I thought it was a good job done on such a small budget (I think around $13,000). Kind of like the Blair Witch Project done on a $60k budget. But as a piece of cinematography, it doesn't really compare to anything else I've mentioned.

Just like I thought, Christoph got his Golden Globe. Really cheering for him to take the Oscar as well.

I watched Avatar in IMAX 3D a few weekends ago. It was amazing...

District 9 is a rececent favorite of mine.

Other movies that I've watched and enjoyed recently:

Devil's Rejects (Rob Zombie was very good at music but even better as a director)

Pink Floyd's The Wall- Lost count on how many times I've watched this.

Monster's Inc.- I still think this is the best animated film to date.

Funny People- Adam Sandler is hit or miss but I thought this film performed well above expectations.

Food Inc.- Disturbing but everyone should see this movie.

The Wrestler- Mickey Rourke finally returns as a legitimate actor.

The Ninth Configuration- Hard to find but one of the best movies every. Dark comedy with great dialog written by William Peter Blatty.

Where the Buffalo Roam- Bill Murray portrays Hunter S. Thompson so much better than the lame attempt by Johnny Depp.

You should go and watch soon. You'll never regret. I suggest you watch it in 3D! It is more exciting!

I watched Avatar last night in 3D.
It's about an hour too long and it's a good thing it's in 3D otherwise I would have left early.

Not much substance.

So tell me. Is it watchable more like a movie or more like a computer game?
Haven't watched it yet, and don't quite want to yet.

"Dexter" was insanely creepy in the movie Gamer, but I liked it (all of it, a little gruesome at points so not all might like it but you would need to check the previews).

I can not think of the other one we caught last weekend but when I do I will pop back and let you all know (was pretty nice too).

Has has a computer game feel to it at times.
I would certainly never watch it on DVD but it is visually impressive enough to watch in 3D.
