The Collector (2009) - average slasher film. Don't think I'll bother with the sequel.

Spider-Man: Homecoming - Spidey gets rebooted yet again, and the 3rd time is the charm. This version  is a little slicker/higher-tech than the one I grew up with but the flick was more entertaining than the last couple of Spider-Man movies put together. I wasn't expecting much from this and wound up pleasantly surprised.

Happy Death Day - A self obsessed sorority girl keeps repeating the same day over and over again - and she always gets murdered at the end by a masked slasher. Can she figure out how to stop the cycle before she stays dead? Sort of a combo of "Scream" and "Groundhog Day." Not a must see but a decent time waster.

A Dog's Purpose - A dog's "spirit" moves through several lives and bodies till it's reunited with the now grown-up boy who was his best friend. If this warm, fuzzy family flick doesn't make you tear up at least once, you have no soul.

Ha ha I saw that once, while drinking pot coffee. Pretty ridiculous movie, but the pot coffee helped Big smile.

I don't consider myself a fan of Bond. I like a few because they're good films but I can't get obsessive the way some people do about them. Regarding the Daniel Craig ones I did like Casino Royale but not the next two. I really failed to see what all the hype with Skyfall was about. It bored me near to tears. I've not seen the latest one and don't have much interest to.

Should have listened to some music instead. It's not a movie to watch again and again, unlike the Connery and Moore Bond(s) which are so much fun to watch. They made Bond so serious with Craig. Something got lost along the way... 
 
Yeah it´s actually quite the brutal movie (the torture scene is pretty nasty). I like it though...and Eva Green...rrrrrrr....

The Awakening (2011). Pretty standard ghost story set in the 1920's.

I just watched In The Loop.  It's a political comedy with a great cast, perhaps highlighted by Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who).  I'd seen it before, but I grabbed the DVD at a flea market months ago, and never got around to watching it again.

While at my parent's house, we watched a documentary called 'Hired Gun', which profiles some session and touring musicians.  The most interesting stories come from Billy Joel's drummer Liberty DeVitto, but also features many others like Rudy Sarzo, Steve Lukather, members of Alice Cooper's band, Jason Newsted, Kenny Aronoff, and Richard Patrick.  A cool 90-minute Netflix watch.

Have you seen any Hitchcock films? If not and you're into suspense/thrillers, I highly recommend North by Northwest, Dial M for Murder, Torn Curtain, and The 39 Steps. All 5 star masterpieces in my book.

I know it's a remake, I even saw the movie, just out of curiosity. 

Two other excellent remakes of 50s sci-fi are The Fly (1986) and The Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). Worth watching both.

I'm aware of the 1951 film. It's said to be a loose adaptation of the original story.

Too many movies look good these days but everything else is lacking (story-telling, no character development and sometimes poor acting). Just my opinion. I must just as well change my name to "grumpy old fart". LOL

I thought the 2011 The Thing was actually a prequel to this one rather than a remake? Or is there an actual remake I haven't heard about?

And no, I don't think your're off the mark with this view. There are many modern films I really enjoy but I often find that older films, including The Thing and the other John Carpenter film I just saw, They Live, have a lot more atmosphere and charm to them. They make me want to see more eighties movies and even older ones. There's a lot of classics I've missed from all kinds of genres. 

the funny thing about the new "The Thing" is that the audience did not know what they are watching - a prequel or a remake? It was confusing. Myself included. LOL
