I saw The Drop over the weekend and I really liked it. Terrific send off for Gandolfini, and Hardy was great too. You had a feeling the entire movie that he was stone cold underneath his simple mindset.

Ripley at the end of Aliens. Damn! What a beast.
Alien 3 sucks so far. Another stow away alien? Come on now. |
Watched Max Max Fury Road finally. Great spectacle.
Just watched Rise of the PLanet of the Apes, too. I really enjoyed it as well, and I'm looking forward to the sequel. I could watch the ape armies swinging through the trees and fighting and such all day. |
Watched "APRIL" on Netlix.
Great, great, good acting, solid performances, then what...the...****...it's all...melting...like...sand on...the...beach....then WHALE $#IT. Avoid. Don't waste your time. "These Final Hours" on Netflix. As advertised it's an end-of-the-world pic. The main character isn't all that likable and is clearly flawed but you cheer for him. The science in this is $3it but if you can ignore that it's a good character piece. I'd give it a 3 out of 5. "All Good Things." A definite watch and a perfect preamble to to the HBO special on Robert Durst called "The Jinx." Make a night of it - watch the movie and then the HBO special. It's amazing how a killer can be both easy to pick out yet impossible to pin down. I'd give the film a 4 and "The Jinx" a 5 out of 5... |
Got my MI6 or whatever it is ticket. Great reviews so far.

Is Ripley going to be in it? If so, will she be played by Sigourney Weaver? She's got to be in her 70s by now. |

I watched Alien: Resurrection this morning to finish up the series.
That movie was pretty bad, critically. As a fan of the Alien franchise I enjoyed it despite the horrendous plot and character caricatures. I will say that the aliens themselves, apart from the weird, white, mutant Ripley-baby-alien looked AMAZING. From Alien: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/...20141004042231 From Resurrection: http://kaiju.wdfiles.com/local--file...ph_1997_01.jpg Much scarier. |

Watched The Truman Show. Really enjoyed it. Good mix of comedy and drama.
|
Pompeii with Jon Snow and Adebisi sucked. The only redeeming quality was Jessica Lucas' fooooine ass and those succulent breastsssss.

those two are the best and couldn't be any more different. I don't disagree with you takes on the effects. but still cool considering what they had to work with. now with that in mind, if you've never seen 1981's An American Werewolf In London.....you gotta see it. it's easily my fav werewolf movie and they didn't have SHIT back then. in the scene where he transforms in the living room they literally made a face that would expand for just that one 2-3 second shot. it's how they had to do it back then. and it's pretty cool. his hands and feet elongating. but.....by todays standards it's kinda lame....but still. they made it work. I've seen the extras and the guy who made the expanding face was talking about all the work he put into it and then the directory says "ROLL"....3 seconds pass...."CUT"...that's a wrap. and the guy is like WTF! ROFL anyways....a great great flick in my opinion. humor plus horror. pretty cool. |
I watched Sleepaway Camp last night from 1983 - PHENOMENAL hit!!!

I watched this terribad sword flick called The Sword of Vengeance while I was trying to get some paperwork done.
It was pretty bad. It used slow motion ENTIRELY too much, and not even to show anything of real importance. It's like they just bought a new camera and were like, COOL. The story had some promise. Costumes were actually pretty good. But the big climax scene was a total letdown. But in the end the fighting was acceptable and a bunch of people died. Not a total waste of time if you have something else to do. |

Watched To Die For with Nicole Kidman.
First of all, a wonderful reminder of what a treasure she once was. My god, the scene with her in lingerie... Second, I think Joaquin Phoenix was typecast by his role in this film because he's basically played the same sniveling ****, to some degree, in every other role he's been in, whether it was Gladiator or Signs or Her. |

I like Michael Keaton but man Birdman was just awful. 2 hours of conversations on a roof.
|
I watched about 15 minutes of Birdman before I was doing other shit. **** that movie.

I caught Outcast on Netflix.
I expected it to be beyond terribad, but it was fairly enjoyable. The action was good. The story had promise, but there were several aspects of the story that fell so flat, they were just a waste of damn time. Most notably the strife between the main character and Cage's character. Followed closely by the random Chinese girl they picked up that had no bearing on the story whatsoever. There were a few hokey moments, like when the big bad chooses to fight the protagonist, it's dumb. They should have written it better. That being said, the action, scenery and costumes are pretty well done for whatever the budget was, I presume not a whole hell of a lot because it had a big name actor and I never heard of it. LOTS of dudes get ****ing deaded in this flick, some of them fairly impressively. And then there is Nick Cage. He was >< close to killing the whole goddamn thing. Christ almighty he is a shitterrible actor. He didn't do anything well in that film at all. But, he
Spoiler!
so it's all good. |
Watched Dark Places. Was pretty good, not Gone Girl good, but def enjoyable with a good story.

*The NEW Movies Thread*
Gone Girl was really interesting. I was legitimately on the edge of my seat first trying to figure out what happened to her, then to see how she would get out of the predicament she placed herself in, and finally to see if she'd get her comeuppance.
For a movie that I had absolutely no interest in seeing, I was pleasantly surprised. |
I saw Birdman in the theater and I think that experience enhanced the film. Like when the light fell on the actor's head, it was loud as well as when Keaton was thrashing his dressing room. The couple in front of us got up and left when that was going on, but the film really got better in the second hour, especially when all the supernatural stuff took place.
I saw The Gift yesterday, excellent suspense thriller, drama, with a bit of twist ending. If you're into the low budget actor's type film, then see this movie. Jason Bateman is a real jerk in this movie, Joel Edgerton I never heard of, he's from Australia and wrote and directed the film. Rebecca Hall, who you might remember as the girl in The Town, the Ben Affleck/Jeremy Renner bank heist movie, she plays the wife. I also enjoyed Vacation. They held the F-word down to maybe 5 times in the film. If you like Ed Helms from the Office and the Hangover, see Vacation. It was laugh out loud funny, and I usually never do that during a comedy. Gone Girl I saw in the theater, really good the first time and even when I rewatched on TV. That's the kind of movies I like. |

I re-watched 12 Years A Slave.
That's a tough one to watch. It was really well done, though, with an all-star cast. |
I watched The D Train last night.
What the mother****ing **** was that movie? JFC..... I won't give away the unexpected plot twist that the movie centered around, but let's just say I probably won't catch any more Jack Black movies again. Nearly turned it off 1/3 of the way through, and I never stop movies in the middle. Avoid. |

Just watched Unbreakable. Very very good movie. Back when M Night was actually good.

Watched 'Child 44' over the weekend. Highly recommended.

Yeah Gone Girl was pretty good.

I'm surprised and disappointed there's never been a sequel. |
It was a free Stars weekend on DirecTV so caught some new (to me) movies.
The first was "Big Hero Six". It wasn't at all what I was expecting but I really enjoyed it. i look forward to the inevitable sequel. The American/Japanese mashup was interesting and a bit jarring at times. I have never seen "My Cousin Vinny" as it didn't look like my kind of movie. I recently saw an interesting tidbit about the movie on Reddit, so recorded it when it came up on Stars. Turns out it was pretty good and I enjoyed it. It was amusing, though not "laugh out loud" funny. I thought Pesci did a good job but was actually too old for the part. Marisa Tomei was "wow" and completely stole the show. |
My kids loved Big Hero Six. We saw it in the theaters when it came out.

I always liked The Sixth Sense, Signs and Lady In the Water from M. Night.
No one else seemed to like those besides Sixth Sense though. |
