Made my annual pilgrimage to the theater to watch a Woody Allen movie.  Magic in the Moonlight had its moments, but it wasn't as good as Blue Jasmine last year.

Anyone else watch Woody Allen films?  He's probably my favorite director.  All of my top movies are his...  or horrible horror trash.


Mostly a fan of his older films 70's/80's...he made a crap load and I think I've seen most of them. After Mighty Aphrodite I have only seen a handful...but I liked most of them (not amazing, per se, but enjoyable enough).



Living in NYC there are Woody Allen screenings at some theater almost weekly, so it is easy to go watch the classics (Manhattan, Sleeper, Annie Hall, etc.) on the big screen.

I picked this up for less than $100 on sale and have made it through most of the movies.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Woody-Allen-Collection-Sets/dp/B001539HQY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410108570&sr=8-1&keywords=woody+allen+collection

I think even "lesser" Woody Allen is better than 90% of what is out there.  Crimes and Misdemeanors, Broadway Danny Rose, and Hannah and Her Sisters are a little later than his classic movies and all are awesome.  For his newer stuff, I genuinely enjoyed Match Point, Midnight in Paris, and Blue Jasmine.  His latest movie is probably his worst in a decade, but it had a few moments.


100% agree on all counts. 

I even like Zaftig.

Watched the Angry Video Game Nerd Movie on Vimeo.

It was better, yet not quite as good as I was expecting. Overall, definitely worth the $5 for a 24hr rental, at least I think.

I had a The Tick marathon yesterday. SPOON!!!!!!!!

Love the Tick cartoon! So much so, that I bought the UK DVD sets since only the first two seasons were released in the US, both missing an episode, I might add.

Also, the live action series is pretty great. Heard there may be a continuation or a reboot of that thanks to Amazon. Yeh.

The son of a gun gets the job done, gotta hand it to 'im! Oh sure, many of your cities will be left crumbled down to dust when the fighting is all over, but he's much better than the nuclear option (that's for sure!) when it comes to eliminating mothra type monsters already running loose, wreaking havoc and destruction along their paths! Godzilla, the good guy, believe it or not! Just get out of the way and let 'im do his damn job, ya stupid humans! :P

LET! THEM! FIGHT!

I caught Addams Family Values last night on T.V.

I always enjoyed it as a kid and I still enjoyed my viewing last night.  I was surprised to see how dark it was for a children's movie in the early 90's though.  However, I think that is why we liked it so much as kids :mrgreen:

I too just watched Godzilla.  It was awesome! Granted, I took the day off (not related to the movie rental) and had the house to myself for the morning so watched it in it's full-surround-sound glory.  I turned the "night mode" and "dynamic sound" crap off and cranked that shit up till it was shaking the house (and I only have 1 BIC F-12 - someone here has 4! :) ). The movie was fun, but the sound made it epic. My couch shook and shimmied like there was no tomorrow.  It was much woot. Anyone that has a home theater with some bass *needs* to view this movie.  I've never experienced anything like it.

Wow, I'm surprised to hear so many positive things about Godzilla. I'll keep that in mind.

Watched Circuitry Man last night.  I was entertained.  It's not an amazing movie by any means but it was a bit different and I enjoyed it.

Recently watched:

Hotel Transylvania (decent with the exception of Adam Sandler's bad Drac and Ceelo Green's fat mummy)

Amazing Spider-Man 2 (worse than I could have possibly imagined, like f*cking Batman Forever bad)

Cabin In The Woods (not as good as everyone told me it was, but I liked it enough to pick up some day on the cheap)

I just watched Dick Tracy from 1990. It's the first time I've seen it in at least 20 years and had forgotten most of what happens. It's a much better movie than I initially recalled.
