A little late to the party, but Gone Girl was great.

Whiplash was superior. Highly entertaining with an all wiorld performance by JK Simmons.

Watched "this is where I leave you"


Liked it

Just watched John Wick. Now THATS how you make an action flick.

Yeah, that was a fun film. Will watch again at some point.

Just watched John Wick as well. Good movie, entertaining from beginning to end.

So ****ing awful it was hilarious. My cousin and I died laughing repeatedly throughout.

That's a good point. The point of the trailer seemed to be "LOOK JOHNNY DEPP IS WACKY."

Just watched Birdman. I'm still scratching my head over it. Great acting on Keaton's part. I don't know what to really say lol. It was very odd.

I'm sure Birdman is the typical movie that critics and movie snobs jizz all over the screen to while the average moviegoer/watcher just looking for pure entertainment leaves saying "WTF" or "What the hell did I just watch?". Call me lowbrow but I'll take a John Wick type movie over "Birdman" any day of the week.

FMB just swallowed his monocle after reading that. ;)

In all seriousness, people like different things. John Wick is probably one of the best pure actions movies in the past decade. If you had said Transformers instead, then lowbrow would make more sense.

He had a wonderful career, I'm talking about all the Burton movies he did in the past 10-15 years, it was overkill. He hasnt made a good movie in the last 10 years imo.

I just can't understand what the hells going on no matter what. I've read a bunch of explanations and it's still confusing as hell. I give up.

The one exception (for me) was Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.

He was just ****ing sideways enough to perfectly capture HST.

Not in his big escapades, but his very small moments people weren't around for...

L.A. Chieffan 01-24-2015 04:42 PM

John Wick was entirely overrated. It had moments but Reeves ruins it.

Hammock Parties 01-24-2015 04:44 PM

Just watched Dying Young with Julia Roberts.

It's basically early 90s Julia Roberts porn. It's also incredibly creepy, which made me identify with the male lead. LMAO

L.A. Chieffan 01-24-2015 04:44 PM

Also The Lone Ranger was entirely underrated. I heard so much bad stuff about it but was thoroughly entertained all the way thru.

L.A. Chieffan 01-24-2015 04:46 PM

Whiplash is incredible especially if you've ever played an instrument and had a half insane music instructor. JK Simmons was amazing, Oscar worthy. Highly recommend

L.A. Chieffan 01-24-2015 04:47 PM

Imitation Game was mildly interesting. Very formulaic and the entire Benedict Cumberbatch is a socially awkward genius is a bit tiresome at this point. Charles Dance was wonderful as usual.

-King- 01-25-2015 04:03 AM

The Drop

Not bad I guess. But damn is it boring and uneventful.

unlurking 01-25-2015 08:27 AM

Hector and the Search for Happiness

Similar life journey plot as Walter Smitty, but with character stories and interactions. Liked it more. Didn't hurt that I absolutely love Rosamund Pike.

Time travel. The confusion with me is the existence of Doubles from the past/future. Whatever. Thanks. Now I need to watch it again. :)

L.A. Chieffan 01-25-2015 11:45 AM

I thought The Drop was very well done. Definitely not every ones taste however.

Easy 6 01-25-2015 01:33 PM

Just have to say again how awesome Captain America: The Winter Soldier is... I'm on my fourth overall viewing right now, the last three on Starz, and man this movie is RIGHT there with The Dark Knight IMO.

Its definitely a gold standard in hero movies, God bless Starz for FINALLY buying the rights to movie thats worth a damn... swear I was sooo close to canceling that part of my cable plan, Encore and Starz almost never have anything good anymore, big waste of money most of the time.

Buehler445 01-25-2015 03:05 PM

Watched the first hobbit movie. It definitely wasn't as good as good as the lotr trilogy. Weaker plot and characters and more limited in overall scope.

The cgi is a good bit over the top. Especially with what they were able to do with lotr. It's a little too much goofiness too. Almost a little star wars prequel, but nowhere near that bad. Just a little disappointing considering how good lotr was.

I agree. That was one of those movies that I specifically went to see in a theater. I took my teenagers to it, and two of their friends. We all enjoyed it. Just a fun family movie. Pretty much exactly what I expected from The Lone Ranger.

In58men 01-25-2015 03:24 PM

Just finished A Walk Among the Tombstone. Kinda drugged on towards the end.



Going to start Lawless in a few hours

Easy 6 01-25-2015 03:25 PM

Couldnt agree more, hard to understand why it bombed.

Lone Ranger was a fantastic piece of film IMO, a rousing adventure right up there in Indiana Jones territory.

Lawless is good shit, despite Shia LeDouche. Hardy is outstanding. The story is really good. The period stuff is awesome.

Great Expectations 01-25-2015 07:08 PM

Lawless is outstanding; fantastic story.

I finally watched The Station Agent. Peter Dinklage was great, just like normal. Bobby Cannavale and Patricia Clarkson also gave strong performances, but the script was the real winner. The dialog was outstanding. Thomas McCarthy wrote a great movie, now I want to watch Win Win and The Visitor.

SAUTO 01-25-2015 07:17 PM

I read the lawless book.

That always ruins movies for me.

In58men 01-25-2015 08:30 PM

Lawless was awesome, damn not sure why I took so long to watch it. Outstanding flick

The Desolation of Smaug was respectable. The whole Elf/Oarc exchange though was horrible. So much cheese. Terrible. And you'd think after the Oarcs get their asses beat so bad, so often, they'd change tactics and train to be a little better. At least by the 3rd LOTR.

Smaug was pretty awesome though. If the movie didn't have Smaug in it, it would be a wet fart.

Somebody recently made a no-bullshit cut of the Hobbit movies that I want to see, with the garbage like Legolas jumping on dwarf heads while he shoots orcs cut out.

A Walk Among The Tombstones

Meh. With better writing and acting it would have been a good movie. But now it's just a meh movie. The dialogue was bad throughout the movie and the third act was pretty shitty.

Just finished Interstellar and I'm almost speechless... epic, just epic, edge of your seat spellbinding twists and turns, the very definition of thinking mans sci-fi... just woooooow.

This movie is second only to 2001 in that genre, PERIOD..

Christopher Nolan is THE premier living filmmaker and this movie sealed that deal, I'm just sooo impressed with the entire thing

I need to see it again.

Over the holidays I was fortunate enough to catch it near the end of its IMAX run at a museum that had a giant screen and 70mm and it was ****ing incredible. Made the movie even more intense and easily the best theater experience I have had.

My only regret is that it was watched on a laptop, so many of those scenes were meant to be watched on the big screen... I first knew I was really missing out in the scene where the Endurance is passing by Saturn, what a kick ass shot.

This is one I definitely plan to own.

mikeyis4dcats. 01-28-2015 10:09 AM

I think Interstellar will be somewhat like Gravity, amazing on the big screen, pedestrian on tv.

The biggest difference between those two movies is the story, Gravity is like "The Cat in the Hat" compared to Interstellars "War and Peace".

He never said they were. What's with the need to argue?

His comment was in regard to a single aspect of the films. Would you care to respond to that aspect? I have not seen either, so am curious about the comparison.

both were visually stunning in a theater. Gravity was pedestrian on the small screen. I expect Interstellar will be the same. Much of the enjoyment of both movies is visual.
