Battledogs.

For a not-so-well done CGI basket case where the werewolves were concerned, I enjoyed it, actually.

Just finished Event Horizon, pretty good film.
Never actually seen Hotel Rwanda, though it is on my to watch list.

Assembly, a great Chinese movie focusing on a unit of PLA soldiers and their commander in the Civil war and his attempts to find their remains long after. It was Really touching, i would recommend it for anyone who is interested in that time period or is just interested in war dramas.

Edge of Tomorrow. It was a great movie. Very funny, very well edited. I just wonder if Tom Cruise thought it was a documentary :p

Is it just me or did the invasion of France in that movie seem to be inspired by the Normandy landings?

That is one of my favourite movies of all time, and i will admit i near cried my eyes out in some parts of it. Really depressing.

I'm surprised there aren't more like that, since that's what I have too. But Sediczja, do note that the original cast did the English-language dubbing, so it's very good.

Star Wars: Threads of Destiny

Fan-made Star Wars movie I found on Youtube. Very good for a fan-made film. It takes place about a century after the Battle of Endor.

What would you like the ending to be? ;) No, seriously,

the ending seems to be deliberately ambiguous as to whether the whole thing is Cobb's dream or not. If that's not what you meant, just ask.

There seems to be a few people in this thread who intentionally watched Transformers even though they knew they wouldn't like it. Why spend money to go to the theaters to watch crap?

Unless you illegally watched it, of course...

Not to say I won't watch it eventually, but not in theaters...

The Wolf of Wall Street

...Jesus Christ that was stupid. A bunch of shit thrown in for shock effect; nothing that actually made it a good movie. The only redeeming quality was Leonardo DiCaprio, who's always been one of my favorite actors. But other than that... :palm:

In an overall not so exciting movie, Leonardo DiCaprio I thought did a great job with Gatsby in The Great Gatsby.

Spiderman was just...Spiderman. Such a boring actor. Don't know why anybody likes the actor who originally played Peter Parker in the Spiderman movies. He's such a dull actor range-wise.

That's a gross movie. Not only high amounts of nudity, but also the F-Bomb count, which reached 563 or something like that.
