A few recent ones-
Good Day To Die Hard; terrible excuse of a movie, worst of the bunch by far. Not even worth $1.20 at Redbox.
Rapture-Palooza; was good and stupid funny but have fun trying to find it (got it On Demand-Xfinity)
Silver Linings Playbook; thought it was going to be a chick flick but liked it anyway.
The Call; Pretty decent and Halle Barry isn't bad to look at, a lot.
Key Largo (1950's w/ Bogey & Bacall); Love those old B&W's on TCM
World War Z, Despicable Me 2, and Monsters U; at the top of my want to see list.

A few more fairly recent rentals.
Warm Bodies; I don't know what to say. It was a different take on zombies, which was kind of refreshing, but personally I didn't care for it much. But I think I'm in the minority on that as most I've talked to seemed to really like it. Just thought they could've done so much more with it.
This Is 40; watched it this evening. Some really funny stuff mixed in with lots of real depressing stuff. I hated the female lead and a few other characters. It's worth it for the comedic parts. We watched the unrated version. The little outtake blurb at the end alone was worth it.

Now You See Me; enjoyed it, not great but definitely not bad either. Liked the whole concept of the movie but felt a bit betrayed by the ending.
Star Trek Into Darkness; Loved it. Have always been into sci fi and am a bit of a trekkie but have really liked these recent two with Chris Pine as the young James T Kirk. And Uhura is hot.

Monsters U was awesome.
I don't think I would have said awesome, but I did like it. The new Wolverine movie looks good. I watched the first episode of "The Bridge" last night it could be a good show.
