re:alien - watched all of them for the first time a few years ago. #1's basically a solid horror-movie, #2 an action spectacle and #3 some kinda freaky-thriller-thingy. they're all fine, but quality-wise i'd place them in release order. #4 i'd already seen and it's basically the worst movie ever conceived and pretty much killed both the franchise and the genre. max payne might be worse, but the damage done by alien 4 left a cgi-stain on the movie industry from 1998 and forward.

I rewatched Alien recently - and it hasn't aged very well. I had very fond memories of it, and would have rated it in my top 10 movies, but the scenes i remembered as atmospheric, and moody, now just seem to come across as a bit dull and boring. Maybe it was just the frame of mind i was in, but i didn't enjoy it at all.
kaysow:
when i saw it in '09 or something i thought the ships interior and dashboard looked comically primitive, like a typical 70's image of the "future", but i actually got past that pretty quickly and really enjoyed the movie for what it was. and that's despite me not really liking any movies pre-1980.

Went to see Night at the Museum 3, it was quite dissapointing.
Forced jokes and only thing that made me smirk a bit was the Pompeii thing and even that was in the trailer already.
Rebel Wilson was shit.
Anyway: RIP Robin Williams.
I also went to see Kingsman which was actually pretty good, and last 20 or minutes were really cracking me up.

I enjoyed the Interview. I didn't know who Katy Perry was before watching it, but now I am not ashamed to admit I like her. She's a great singer. I watched Hot Tub Time Machine on Xbox for free this weekend. I'm a fan of stupid comedies.
Night at the Museum was pretty blah and I like Affleck and Williams.
Arseen:
Just watched the Martian.
Somewhat realistic movie.
I liked it.
