Welcome to the Present Movies thread! This is the place to discuss all movies that are currently playing in theaters.

To discuss movies that are not yet in theaters, visit our Future Movies thread.

To discuss movies that are available on DVD, visit our Past Movies thread.

When posting links, please be sure to add a note if there is any content that is not family-friendly on the page you link to. Remember that all images posted must also be family-friendly. All links to trailers must include the movie rating. Regular forum and Spare Oom rules apply.

Please note that if a movie title contains a vulgar word (one that would go against our standards here on NarniaWeb), we ask that you use asterisks in its place.

So get your ticket, get comfortable, and enjoy the show! :)

Well, I got to see 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' (finally) in IMAX 3-D. I have to say, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think it's my favorite HP film yet!
That's right, it passes up my previous favorite, 'Prisoner of Azkaban'!

The 3-D was absolutely amazing, by the way!

I'm looking forward to seeing G.I. Joe...that is, if I can get to the theatre before it leaves. I've been getting a lot of mixed messages about it, though. Some say the action and effects are great, others say it's a waste of time and that it really is no good at all. :-\ Guess I'll just have to watch it and see.

Well, Tim Burton is only a producer, not the director.

Although he's just a producer, it would still be worth seeing, definately :)

Although this is somewhat off topic to current films (sorry), I find it amusing the number of movies with "9" in the title coming out this year. There was District 9 a few weeks ago, then 9 this week, and in November a film version of the musical Nine is going to be released starring Daniel Day-Lewis. Its also funny that all three of these have Oscar potential as well (9 in the animated feature bracket of course).

So, I finally got around seeing District 9 and Inglourious Basterds.

District 9 was slightly disappointing, as it didn't live up to all the hype, although it very well was something different and unusual.

Inglourious Basterds on the other hand was a tremendous experience, I might watch it again in the theaters and certainly will get it on DVD when it is released. Christoph Waltz especially was amazing (yay for austrians!).

Anybody out there who has seen the new Dorian Gray with Ben Barnes? I'd very much like to see it, but it seems it's only released in the UK and Canada so far, with no known release date for the US or many european countries.
