What should I see in theaters today? - Blu-ray Forum

obriensg1 · 02-13-2013, 06:19 AM

I have the day off, but family will be around and for various reasons, I'm saying I'm headed in for a short shift lol.

What should I see? I was debating 'Top Gun 3D' but it's twice as much money for the ticket.

My other choices are:
Side Effects
The Silver Linings Playbook
Life of Pi 3D (least interested pick)
Warm Bodies (I'd rather take a cute coworker to this film who said she's interested)

Why should I go to one of these? What's best pick? I'd see 'Bullet to the Head' but it's only playing at night, and I don't want to see the Die Hard marathon. Been watching those films with my dad before we go to #5 next week.

Side Effects!

Although I haven't seen Silver Lining Playbook, so that would be an option as well.

Warm Bodies!!!!!!!!!!

Especially if you're taking a cute date. It's one of those cute date movies.

Saw it 3 times already.

But aren't you a teenage girl?

Side Effects! See it before you hear too much about it!

I would pick Side Effects just because I have alredy seen Silver Linings.

I really like Silver Linings so I can say that is a good one to go see.

Why not both!

Snicket · 02-13-2013, 07:32 AM

Side Effects or Silver Linings are the only correct answers.

If you're single.

Warm Bodies is where it's at!! He even said he has a girl who wants to see it. Can't go wrong there.

Captain Kirk · 02-13-2013, 07:40 AM

I'm single and liked Warm Bodies.

I haven't seen Side Effects yet but it has a great cast and looks interesting. At least the film could invoke some conversation afterwards. Same goes for Silver Linings Playbook.

k.

lmfao me too at the moment but i'm saying it's a good date movie and Valentine's Day is tomorrow and if you have a cute girl willing to go, why not?

Silver Linings Playbook is perfect for a date. It's a rom com with a little extra to it, Warm Bodies might be a little childish depending on your age.

But if you like zombies and comedies, Warm Bodies is definitely the movie for you.

So Warm Bodies is childish?

I guess Disney movies are too but the majority of members here love them.

He didn't say it was a for sure thing. He could go alone to it and still find it enjoyable, which was kinda my point.

Well yeah that's the second best option.

Well up till a certain age, I'm certain the average cinema going audience who range 25 upwards will struggle to bite onto the love conquers all plot. And don't come and attack me, I like the film for all it's quirky comedy and what not.

Maybe childish was the wrong word, I think niche might of been a better word, the film might work on the girl, but you also run the risk of it not.

Silver Linings Playbook is just a little more neutral as a date movie, a big crowd pleaser.

Unless you're crazy like the main characters and see yourself in them and just feel bad after the movie.

I haven't seen Side Effects, but my vote would go to Life of Pi. I thought it was better than Silver Linings, and Warm Bodies was forgettable.
