I need a movie for TONIGHT. This is where YOU come in :)

[Abing]

No. It's final. Sherlock BBC. No more suggestions. jk

Hey all.

So imagine this scenario: A single woman, 26 years of age, needing some introverted time turns off her cell phone, shuts her laptop, and picks up her remote to rent a movie with just a click of the button on her Apple TV. But, behold, the sad realization comes in she has no idea what to purchase. She is needing some assistance from her friends. She loves suspense (no paranormal), comedies, chick flicks, and action. So many choices, so little to choose from.

This is where you come in.

What shall this lady rent for tonight?

Ok... maybe my hiatus is over (at least for right now)..

This is a movie I originally was not interested in seeing because I gave up after seeing sequels #2 and 3.. I only rented it because nothing else appealed to me and I was deperate to watch something and I remembered that it spent an unusually long time in the #1 box office spot...

So.. guess what? THIS MOVIE ROXXX! (And I'm not just saying that because The Rock is in it) It was actually one of the best action movies I'd ever seen, and I'm usually disappointed with 99.9% of them. This one did not disappoint at all. You might even cry at the end..

(I should probably warn you though that there's a few scenes with bikini-clad women, but nothing sexual)

Oh and tonight I'm probably going to rent either Age of Adeline, Cinderella or Pitch Perfect 2 to watch with my mom..

...and yes I love chick flicks.

 

[MollyConnor]

How about prepping for the new Star Wars movie by watching the first 6 of them?

 

[Willie-T]

No. It's final. Sherlock BBC. No more suggestions. jk

Tell me you didn't really say that....

 

[Siberian_Khatru]

I VOTE FOR THIS. KATIE, WATCH SHERLOCK BBC ALL 3 SEASONS TONIGHT. ONLY 9 EPISODES AND YOU'LL HAVE A REVELATION THAT'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

*that apparently Benedict Cumberbatch is the man*
*and ill tell you the same thing on skype right now*

Sherlock is pretty good.

 

[Donkeyfish07]

Watch Snowpiercer. It's a french/korean film starring Chris Evans. And is fantastic. Also Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is hilarious.

Ha ha, you look so much like my idea of a Yakuza bodyguard/enforcer. Weird seeing you talk about cinderella

 

[MollyConnor]

Watch Frozen! Watch Frozen!

 

[MissLeFay]

Have you seen War Room? That's a good one

 

[James4redemption]

I don't know if you'd like this shine, but some may want to check out a movie called "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou"..lol It's funny, but it's dry humor

 

[James4redemption]

Air America

So weird that I remember seeing previews for this on VHS. Haven't seen it in years though. Now I'm reminded of Hudson Hawk as well..mannn

Anyone know where to find older movies?

 

[James4redemption]

You could try limitless if you haven't already seen it. Its a good yet unusual movie. It recently spawned a tv show of lesser quality. So if you like the movie, you have a few episodes of a tv show based on it waiting for you as well.

I haven't seen the show but the Movie was pretty good. There was another movie that came out with Jake Gylenhal(sp) around the same time this came out that wasn't bad either....uhmmmm- looking for it.."Source Code."

The show is worth watching, it isn't bad.....but it really could be better. You can tell its just the run of the mill producer, the type of guy that would be churning out justin bieber clones if he was in the music industry. That being said, the concept of NZT itself is interesting enough to continue watching the show IMO

Dude that's a perfect explanation of cable TV in general lol....You might want to check out Last Man on Earth though. Should have the first season on demand. I didn't like it at first but it grew on me. Show is funny when it has it's moments.

Now as a newborn Christian, all your entertainment leading up to that point is secular in nature, lol so I don't know whats acceptable or not. But this movie is hilarious, might be too vulgar for some though, I don't know.
