Merged: The Movies Thread

Watched Get Smart the other day for some escapist/slapstick humor. Was surprisingly pleased. I liked the original series and was worried that Steve Carrell would just be Mike from The Office. The movie referenced the original series here and there but it wasn't necessary viewing for this version.

My wife and I are considering getting as some "go to" fluff when we feel like something light and amusing. (Remember The Titans is my "go to" football movie - great soundtrack).

Glad you liked it. I watched it again with my kids, and they all got a kick out of it.

Don't laugh but I finally got around to watching No Country for Old Men last night. Very good flick, I enjoyed it but was it really best picture worthy? I think it's debateable.

No worries Matty... there's too many damn films out (great and otherwise) to catch immediately.

I think Coen brother films become more impressive with subsequent viewings. Take a few weeks (and if you have time), watch it again. You may like it even more or less, but give it a try!

Yeah it's definitely worth watching again.

I saw Get Smart the other day as well, was very happy with the movie.

"Are you thinking what I am thinking?"

"Well, if you're thinking 'oh my god oh my god, a swordfish is about to go through my head' then yes we were!"

Too damn funny!

You may like it even more or less, but give it a try!I completely agree! I liked No Country the first time I saw it but I wasn't blown away. I decided to watch it again a couple of months later (and after I read the book, so that might have helped) and I really loved it.
I can't really put my finger on why I liked it so much more the second time around but I just did.

just watched Pineapple Express,it was ok but i think you'd have to be majorly stoned to really get into it,I didnt laugh out loud once,on the other hand i went and saw Yes Man and laughed out loud at least 5 times

Got a chance to see JCVD last night. Van Damme should be nominated for Best Actor... And you think I'm joking!

Pineapple Express will have to be watched at a later time when I can get high. Wasn't that funny to me.

Get Smart impressed me. Wasn't expecting much but it kept me very entertained.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was one of the funniest flicks I've seen in a long while. I could have gone without all the cock shots but great movie.
