"Blue Jasmine". Pretty good.
"Insidious: Chapter 2". Whatever.

I love both of them. I am a big fan of the whole series, and those two along with part 3 are amazing.
Wont forget Patricia Arquette and Lisa Wilcox ever.

Have you seen any of the Hellraiser movies? I haven't. I could go for a hellraiser marathon one of these nights.

I saw the first 4 movies. The first part is a classic, Clive Barker at his finest...and Doug Bradley too.
The second is ok, the third is boring and the fourth one should have been great, but had a lot of problems during production and its final result is a mess.

I loved the Hellraiser movies when I was a kid. I recently re-watched the first one and was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it wasn't total crap.

did you like the first one? i thought it was pretty great apart from the horrible acting from the father.

Loved the first one, and looking forward to see the new one.

Its a very good horror movie...the concepts are all very well told. And i dig that the cenobites dont appear that often...it remind me of the use of Freddy in the first Nightmare on elm street movie.

Hey VG, are you going to the Mar del Plata film festival this year?

Just booked my hotel.

i asked you a question platypus.

I liked the first one a lot better than the sequel. Everything that was fun and exciting about the first film was absent or scaled way back in part 2. The tension was close to nonexistent, which is fatal for a horror movie. I didn't hate it, but everything was just slightly off.

ah damn. i was looking forward to it. i felt the first one really nailed the horror tension.

Watch the thing. My girlfriend and her cousin both said it was even better than the first one, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i will still check it out, for sure. usually i just like horror movies for a bit of fun but i thought the first one had some genuinely frightening moments and had quite an original premise.

Man of Steel. Best superhero movie I've ever seen. Sorry Nolan, Ledger et al.

watched Movie 43 last night..dumb but quite enjoyable. I had never heard about the movie before until it popped up on netflix

The Emma Stone skit was the only one that made me laugh.

I laughed at the Hugh Jackman one at the beginning because I truly was not expecting that

Its much easier to suspend disbelief when the source material features aliens from the planet Krypton. Nolan's batman was well shot and acted but the plot holes are ridiculous.

I have my separate issues with MOS. And you don't need to tell me about Nolan's batman plot holes. I know.

Best superhero movie? I don't know. I haven't seen all of them.

I'll say that the first hour of Batman Begins is the finest slice out of any superhero movie.
