Movie Recommendation Station

[hilariousandco]

Saw 'Secret Life of Walter Milly' yesterday. A fully entertaining and enlightening movie. Ben Stiller's best arguably. Didn't know Ben was also the director until the credits rolled. Highly recommended.

I was surprised by it and had no idea Stiller directed it too.

Doesn't he play a load of different roles? Is it a funny?

I wouldn't say funny; it is humorous at times in a good way.But more importantly, its a film that gives you a new direction to your thoughts and life as a whole.

Ah yeah, I think I remember reading about the premise now. Not seen a single second of it though but looking forward to it.

More of a comedy drama then? One Ben Stiller film that surprised me was The Heartbreak Kid.  I expected zero from it going in and I guess it's a fairly typical Stiller film, but it had me really laughing out loud quite a few times.

the purge is lame

I don't think so. The theme was unique. And it is having a rating of 5.5 / 10 in the IMDB and 37% in the Rotten Tomatoes.

I haven't seen The Purge but those don't really indicate a great film. What makes it unique (without giving the plot away)? I usually like horror films if they're a bit different.

The initial concept of the purge is quite interesting enough to make me download the movie, but from 1/3 of the movie till the end is just yawn.

Just saw Captain AM, I don't like it although it could be as best as it could get for this type of movie. Also hate spider man / Batman / huck/ avenger, but do like Iron man , X-men, watch men.

Does Rotten Tomatoes reviews matter to you? I have many favorite movies that low ratings in rotten tomatoes even it has big box office earnings and and their high rating movies is very shitty very little watch based in their low box office earnings.

Frozen was actually quite good

I watched We're The Millers last night. Bit of a ridiculous and silly/stupid plot, but there were quite a few laughs in it and one especially lol-worthy scene.

[Holdaaja]

With "Purge" it is the plot itself that makes it unique.  Maybe guessing who is the "bad guy" in the movie makes it a little unique since all crime is legal in that movie for a 12 hour window or whatever...

Just watched Jack Reacher. Quite enjoyed it, but Tom Cruise was pretty much just in his Tom Cruise / Ethan Hunt Mission Impossible character but a bit more kick ass and wittier. Laughed a few times at the running joke of him stealing cars (at least I think it was a running joke haha). Looking forward to the sequel now.

Watched the movie "Enemy."   I thought it was pretty good.  Ending is weird...

I just watched Mr. Nobody. It was better than I expected.

It's sort of an under-appreciated movie most probably haven't heard of, but if you like offbeat types of movies that make you think, you might like it. It's on netflix streaming right now.

There was a discussion of this movie earlier in the thread.   A lot of people liked it (including myself)

I'll have to look back and see what people said out of curiosity.

One odd thing about it was it was made in 2009 and not released in the US until now. I guess they had a hard time figuring out how to market it. It sort of reminded me of the Fountain, sorta... at least in the metaphysical trippy sort of way. Although I liked Mr. Nobody better.

Watched Ruby Sparks and Safety not Guaranteed. I enjoyed it very much
