Thread: Last movie you saw - and rate it

I read the book before I watched the HBO movie/mini series, so I was a little worried, because the book is an absolute page turner. But it's faithful, for the most part to the book and is excellent. Probably the best book adaptation I've seen. Of course with 12 one-hour shows you can do a lot more than 2 hours.

I had the same problem, then one day I decided to try it again. Now I froth at the mouth until the next new episode comes on. It really picks up steam about a quarter of the way through the first season.

That explains why I couldn't get through the first quarter of the first book.

Game of Thrones, Season 2: Prettty, prettty, pretty good/10.

The explosion in the "Blackwater Battle" is one of the best explosions I think I've seen in anything. Great show.

No spoilers...on Game of Thrones please...

Oh man. .. . I so want to make up a false spoiler for you. With names like Targaryan, and Lannister, and Greyjoy. Plus Dragons! It would be epic.

Finally got around to watching some of the movies I pirated this weekend.

Hunger Games...over-hyped. That movie sucked. Period.

The Grey...I love Liam Neeson and he's a bit of a bad ass in this movie, but the CGI on the wolves wasnt the greatest by any means. Ending was good though.

I'm afraid your lack of comedic genius would really screw it up and probably reveal the whole thing while trying not to.

So, yeah, don't.

On this cold rainy Monday and my day off, I watched Max Payne for the 1st time on FX. Cool movie but looking up to see if it had a sequel, I'm confused as to.... did they only make one movie and 3 video games. I'm not into video games and not much of a movie watcher, so just wondering if they made another movie.

Mo read the books man. GoT is seriously the greatest show I have ever seen on TV- aside from stargate (yeah I have weird tastes) but I got into the books and they are amazing.

Do yourself a favor, as a literarry man- get the books. You will not be able to put them down, and if you read the books and follow along with the show you will see how truly remarkable the casting and more or less script has been replicated. For me it was a big enhancer.

Goon
8.7/10

Good movie, and it was hockey which was better. Funny, a little obnoxious at times, but I love sean william scott and hockey. Rewatchability factor on this movie is very high.

Yeah. Couldn't put down the first. Haven't gotten as into the second, but I'm reading it now. I won't watch Season two until I'm done with the second book and into the third.

There are some good twists and turns in two, near the end. Then you get hooked and book 3 picks right up with all the good stuff and keeps on going. Book 3 is imo one of the best books I have ever read in my life....(which may not mean a whole lot as I am not an avid reader so my selection of books read is limited but its the best book ever).

Very smart. You will notice how in the show on 2 they had to deviate a bit more from the book, there have been many discussions on this so if you have questions or arent sure when you are done hit me up. I will try to help clear some things up along with some ideas that have been generated from people.

just saw John Carter. Was pretty awesome i would say 7/10.


They are making a 10 movie series out of it that will end in 2045, Even with the massive failure at the box office. After watching the movie on DVD, i will be seeing the next one in the theatre

I really liked that movie, too. Its a shame Disney didn't know how to market it, they even changed the name from John Carter of Mars to just John Carter which made it sound more like an English drama than a fun sci-fi flick. I loved those books growing up, but I doubt they will make a sequel which is a shame when Transformers movies keep getting made.
