ROTTEN PEAS - ongoing movie thread by 2Peas Critics

I saw Love and Friendship a couple weeks ago. I really enjoyed it, but the ending seemed a bit rushed to me.

Two thumbs up for Central Intelligence! It was like, last choice and we literally laughed all the way through it

Surprise cameo at the end. At least to me! Hilarious out-takes before the credits rolled.

Good to hear!

I am looking forward to seeing it in the theater. However, I'm not sure that it will be possible right now. 

Anyone else looking forward to the Secret Life of Pets?  

I went and saw Hello My Name is Doris on Sunday.

It stars Sally Field who plays a woman who lives with her elderly mom and when her mom dies she realizes she has put her life on hold to look after her mom.

She developes a crush on a younger coworker and she goes about finding ways to get him to be interested in her. Tyne Daly plays her BF.

I thought it was really good and is a great movie to go to with your GF.

I watched The Intern on movie central the other night it's an older movie but I really enjoyed it!

LOL and see I really liked it! I went by myself most of the other ppl were seniors but they seemed to laugh along with me.

I had never heard of it before Sunday but all my guys were going to Nice Guys and I had no desire to see that so went in with no expectations. I am pretty easy to please and I like cheesy romantic comedies and adore SF.

We saw The Conjuring last weekend (me, my dh, and my 16 year old dd) and we LOVED it. We are all horror fans and enjoyed both the other Conjouring movies (The Conjouring and Annabelle). We thought it felt very authentic. I think this franchise does a good job with that. The furniture, clothing, actors, just felt very real. The story was creepy. There were some genuine scares. I screamed out lout at least six times. I easily startle and scream in scary movies--my family gets a real kick out of it--but my dd rarely startles like that. We all thought that was very funny. Make sure you stay and watch the credits because you get to see the real people that the actors are portraying.

It's funny to see such strongly mixed reactions to the Hi, My Name is Doris. I have really been wanting to see that movie and now I'm worried!

I think my dd and I are going to watch Neighbors 2 this weekend at the dollar theater.

I finally watched 10 Cloverfield Lane. I told my husband I had this great movie to watch that came highly rated. We both didn't like it. lol It was ok enough for the first 3/4 and then the end was just silly, but that is totally not my kind of movie (I don't want to give anything away). I didn't research it well because I was told to go into it not knowing anything. Oh well. I guess we'd give it a 6 out of 10, at most.

I took my kids to see Finding Dory on opening night. Adorable! Baby Dory is the cutest. We all really enjoyed it. SaveSave

We just watched the gods of Egypt.

Fun movie!

All four of us in our family went and watched Conjuring 2. My son, who is Mr. Coolio, jumped in his seat and got goosebumps.

For added effects, right at a tense scary part, someone banged, banged, banged & slammed the exit door as if that demon was coming for us!!! That was great! Must have been one of the theatre employees. You shoulda heard the screams!!!

We saw this and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a fun movie and I like seeing how they do some of the tricks.

Trumbo
Just watched this on dvd. It is about the Hollywood blacklist and The House On UnAmerican Activities. It was an excellent, excellent movie. Helen Mirren was great as Hedda Hopper and Brian Cranston was his usual fabulous self as Trumbo. Dalton Trumbo deserves to have his story told in movie form. When all is said and done it is a feel good movie.

We just got back from Central Intelligence and all 3 of us loved it. Hilarious! It was MUCH better than I thought it was going to be.

Last week we saw Now You See Me 2 and we liked that one as well, but not as much as the original.

We are going to see Independence Day 2 this weekend, and I'm sure it won't win an Oscar, but I hope it is at least decent.

Thanks for the recommendation!  We just watched this and really enjoyed it.  Not action packed, but an overall good movie.  Of course my favorite movie is Quiz Show, so right along the same vein of storytelling.
