I didn't think that much at all about Shaun of the Dead because of the way it looked in the previews.  I thought it was just like those god awful scary movie parody movies.

Watching it the first time I didn't think too much about it either, but here I am several years later and now I think it's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

Watch Hot Fuzz it will keep the good times rolling. At Worlds End is pretty good too.

One of the best songs ever in that movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQXVzg2PiZw) (used in other John Murphy movie's)

Cabin in the Woods
Tucker & Dale Vs Evil
Stir of Echoes
Edge Of Darkness

All just looked like run of the mill movies, offering nothing new, but I found each of them very entertaining, far better than trailers or reviews may have suggested.

By far the biggest surprise for me though was the movie Goon. That looked like an awful, awful comedy with Seann William Scot, but turned out to be quite funny.

Goon definitely great flick.

hhhmmm that's tough...Wait! Recently, The Expendables 3. I went in expecting...well...an awful movie, worth seeing just for the crappy refrences and explosions, but it was actually pretty good.

I had forgotten that Mel Gibson and Antonio Banderas were real actors and there inclusion really made the movie for me.

Also! Cloud Atlas was really good! It's a tough movie to follow at times but it's just a really well done film. and on the flip side, did not enjoy Guardians of the Galaxy. It just felt like a few dozen jokes wrapped up just to be put in a movie. Oh, and the ending was just awful.

Watch The Gringo. A pretty darn good recent Mel Gibson flick. Very reminecent of Payback (earlier gibson movie). Also Cloud Atlas over Guardians :0. I didnt like the atlas.

 

OT. I try to go into movies without forming an opinion and going along with whatever the movie trys to do. Obviously sometimes cant do that plot, actors, opinions, ect.. but i try. Some movies i think are overlooked, underated, or just dont get the recognition they deserve. District 9, Elysium, Goon, The Gringo,  Air America, About Time, What If, Pacific Rim, Hollywoodland, Four Brothers, Kick-Ass, Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, Atonement, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Brick, The Fountain, Cloverfield, Disturbia, Smoking Aces, Running Scared, Bad Boys 2, Armageddon, plenty more.
