    I'll do new(ish) movies(I go to the cinema a LOT):

    I Recommend:
    Limitless
    Uknown
    Thor
    Rango(Animation effects beyond this earth realm)
    The rite
    Battle Los Angelos
    The Fighter
    Megamind

    Stay away from:
    Black mother#@% Swan
    No Strings attached
    Little Fockers
    The Green Hornet

    Bear in mind. These are movies I have gone out to see in the cinemas. So not all of them are great, but I catogorized them how I experienced them, and I'm not going to make more categories.

    Sidenote: @Xero. Anything Guy Richie made is pretty epic

    Kick Ass was waaaay over the top but enjoyable and lol yes anything Guy Ritchie does is pretty good tbh
    Even liked the new Sherlock Holmes

    Jack, if you like taken, you should check out a movie called Harry Brown, not exactly the same thing, but pretty good with Michael Cane as the lead

    Faffa, if you liked B:LA, have you seen Skyline, there is an Epic Aerial Combat sequence in it where unmanned drones go up against a UFO Thing

    I thoroughly enjoyed the Watchmen. It must have one of the best intro's of any movie I've ever seen.

    Also, although I will admit that inglorious basterds is not the best movie Tarantino's made, I definitely think it's worth a watch - even if you just skip through it and only watch the scenes with Christoph Waltz (The Jew Hunter) in it.


    Some I'd recommend that aren't completely commercial:

    Equilibrium
    The Life aquatic, with Steve Zissou.
    The next three days
    What dreams may come
    Googlewhack
    Primer

    There are too many crappy ones to list. :/

    Dude - the only thing good about Skyline, was the trailer, which consisted of EVERY interesting looking part of the movie. Bad acting, bad score, drab scripted events, crappy timing, excellent effects.

    B: LA wasn't that good, I just watched it after I saw Skyline. Thank the cinema gods I didn't go watch Skyline in the cines.

    Rewatched Legio last night on TV and it is a really really bad movie, thin storyline, even thinner acting, skip it if you have been fortunate enough not to see it yet

    Wow. I can add Fast 5 to "go watch". Didn't expect it to be that good, honestly.

    Adrenaline is back, good acting, over the top stunts, good story and an INSANELY hot French chick.
