What movies are you watching in the theatres (if you even still go to theatres) when you are not on Eve?

Right now, we recently saw Free Birds and Willy Wonka (original) in a double feature,  before that we saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, Ghostbusters, Despicable Me2, Monsters University, Smurfs2 (save me - horrible movie!), Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters, Epic, Planes, Escape from Earth, the Croods, all in double features at the drive in. *trails off....  *  The best was probably Despicable Me2 and Planes was a feel good movie.

Sigh. Looking at this I am painfully aware of the demographic these are aimed at.

Theone grown up movie was Star Trek into the Darkness on date night which was sort of fun if you didn't think too hard about the numerous plot holes and excruciatingly painful for a long time trek fan to watch.


So.. any good movies for grown ups this year?

The last one I saw recently was Gravity, and this was a total blast. Awesome.

I think the one I saw before that was The Hobbit in last December...

I don't go a lot to cinema, it's damn expensive. It has to be worth it.

I saw Ender's Game last weekend.

It was ... eh, pretty good. Not great, certainly left some things to be desired—primarily in its poor explanation of early events, and how the whole plot felt crammed into a time frame of a couple weeks or months instead of the couple years (I think?) that the novel was spread over—but the visuals were very engaging, especially the space battles, and the cast was decent enough I guess. Some scenes were really able to achieve some great feeling and emotion, I thought the scenes with Bonzo and Ender were pretty great, and the post-battle stuff at the end too. But most of the movie fell short of doing anything but (briefly) explaining what happens next, and that's just a shame.

All in all? I don't think it's a classic, but it's not a debacle either and I suppose that's relief.

I'll be skipping Ender's Game. Pity too, I remember I did enjoy the books when I read them, years ago.

Lucky you.  I had to go see the John Carter Disney made a few years back.

That's the closest I've ever come to planning a violent murder spree.  I think Disney owes Burroughs money for the rape of his franchise's soul.

Recently got into the X-Files and progressed onto the movie after watching series 5.

Surprisingly good, would reccomend

Last movie I saw in theatre was The Hobbit, and likely I'll go see the next part as well.
Other than that, there aren't that many movies that I really have to see on the big screen these days.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is worth seeing. You don't need to have read or seen the first one, but it would help a lot if you have (Netflix night!). The ending leads into Mockingjay (which starts next year), so it's full of "to be continued~".

[Lunarisse Aspenstar]

How to Train Your Dragon 2.  Hopefully it won't succumb to the usual issues with sequels.  Still, the kids have a pretty low threshold to be satisfied so I am sure they will enjoy it

[Gottii]

Just watched Rush.  Good movie.

[Esna Pitoojee]

Haven't seen anything in theaters for ages, but I regularly borrow stuff from the local library system (it's pretty amazing, tbh).

Latest features include "White Heat" (James Cagney playing a slimeball like a boss), "NO" (about the effort to oust Augusto Pinochet), and "Wreck-It Ralph" (video game silliness galore).

[Silas Vitalia]

Just caught the absolutely brutal "The Rover" with Guy Pierce.

Post apocalyptic and bleak.  One far will someone go who has absolutely nothing left to lose?

NEW MAD MAX TRAILER.

I kept thinking, "who is the girl with the bionic commando arm? She looks really familiar, I've seen her in something."

Then I saw the cast, and there was a weak but audible implosion inside my skull.
