Watched that monkey movie with the guy from Milk. Not Sean Penn but the guy from Pineapple Express. Not Seth Rogan but the guy from the movie where he cuts his own arm off after hiking.

Good movie 8/10

Rapid fire

Limitless (2011) - Hopeless. 3.4 Potatoes

City by the Sea (2002) - Eh. 5.2 Tomatoes

And Justice For All (1979) - Pacino hasn't aged well. Tebow must hate him. 7.0 Boners

I really have trouble finding movies I enjoy and I haven't seen one I like in a long time. I'm at a loss as to what to watch next and I'm open to suggestions. My preferences are basically:
-non star/trek/wars/george lucas/whoever made lost sci-fi
-dark comedies but not containing seth rogan/steve carell/jonah hill
-documentaries

I dislike
-horror
-comedies
-romance

I've seen the following and liked them if it helps
steam of Life
twelve Monkeys
eXistenz
a scanner darkly
minority report
there will be blood
bladerunner
2 most recent batmans
trainspotting
big lebowski
UHF
Let it ride
the gambler
leon the professional
probably some others but i can't think of them off the top of my head

Has anyone seen Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy?

 

[rjt721]

Have you seen Fargo? Can't go wrong with the Coen brothers.

I've seen that and liked it.

Any opinions on Drive?

 

[Cami]

I know you dislike Horror, so this shouldn't be an issue, but I hear that "The Last Exorsism" was crap.

Have you seen "Fight Club" '99, or "Alpha Dog", or any of the "Oceans"?

"Let it Ride", "Twelve Monkeys" are kick ass.

I know you said you don't like romance, but I must say "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind" is a damn good movie. It's a thinker.

You might also check out: "Boys Don't Cry", and "Smoke Signals"
Just off the top of my head.

Last movie I watched was "Friends W/ Benifits", not too shabby.

 

[plommer]

Boingers?

 

[Cami]

Or how about any of the "Trasnporter" movies? I like those.

Thought Drive was decent. Didn't live up to the hype.

Liked FC
Disliked Alpha Dog
I consider Eternal sunshine to be Sci-Fi based on source material and liked that too.

I'll have to check out boys' dont cry and smoke signals but will pass on timberlake/kunis flick.

 

[stevek173]

fight club is the most overrated movie ever and i hate it. no substance to it, horrid acting.

 

[rjt721]

No way! Meatloaf deserved an Oscar!

I liked it when i first saw it in theatres. Once climax is achieved though it goes downhill sov. If i watched it anymore than 2 times I would probably start disliking it.

 

[stevek173]

That's actually hands down my favorite movie of all time. Agreed of Meatloaf.

 

[Cami]

My personal favorite is "TRAINING DAY"
Kick ass.

 

[MrMonkey]

My personal favorite is "TRAINING DAY"
Kick ass.

Ethan Hawke was great in it!

Good thing about "Friends w/ Benifits", you get to see Kunis pretty much naked, nice bod.

Fair warning, it's a decent movie, but "Boys Don't Cry" is a lil fu*ked up. Good, but man...
