    I just watched "Kingsman" with Samuel L Jackson and Michael Caine and thought it was a great, entertaining action flick.

    There are a few I want to see that are still out in theater such as Mad Max, Ant Man, The Entourage movie, etc...

    A few I want to see which are out on Blu-Ray, but haven't gotten around to it.

    Kingsman was good.

    Saw Pitch Perfect 2 last night, the gf wanted to watch it. It... wasn't bad.

    Ant man is surprisingly hilarious. As in, I was looking for just your average super hero movie, and it has all the elements--hero, villain, mentor, side kicks, back story, redemption story, love story--but in addition to all that, it was light hearted, didn't take itself too seriously, and was intentionally comedic throughout. In short, I loved and highly recommend it.

    That new Sherlock Holmes movie when SH was old as dirt, should have been NRFPR (not ready for public release) Too slow and hard to hear what the actors say.

    I enjoyed Kingsman as well, but I was stuck in a 14 hour flight when I watched it - so I was predisposed to liking it, the other alternatives were 17 Disney animated movies, French films and Bollywood films.

    ...Entourage was pretty terrible, so only watch that if it's FREE!

    Southpaw was alright. The story was pretty run of the mill for a boxing flick.

    Dope was pretty good, but the second half of it bummed me out a bit.

    Kingsman was good, but the over the top violence is something I don't really get off on anymore.

    I couldn't stomach Kingsman. Shut it off after 15 minutes.

    I really liked kingsmen and antman. I have talked to a lot of people that didnt like Jurassic World. I loved it though.

    I got what I expected out of Jurassic world. It was done really well, but it was pretty much a remake. I ducked into the Baghdad to watch it on a hot day a few weeks ago. Enjoyed it.

    Even the film's director started trashing it before it was released. It has 9% rating from Rotten Tomatoes, and some people are saying that's a bit too generous haha.

    Really? It is one of the worst reviewed movies I've ever seen on Rotten Tomatoes.
