But i was told ass and titties...i had no idea they would be spliced in with shitty indy directing, a desperate attempt at a "deep" story, and god awful acting.

Nowhere, I'm just bored and was hoping you'd provide me with some entertainment. Maybe get you worked up and sit back to watch the fun.

[newport king]

Apparently the writer is some sort of cuckold that put his wife in the movie and she's one of the main 4 characters and is the nakedest one.

Danny Boyle dates Rosario Dawson now and I was wondering if in Trance he made it super clear to her that he isn't the one that has a problem modproof with pubes on a chick.

Not sure whats next... We're The Millers, World War Z, or Star Trek Into Darkness.

Spring Breakers 2 titty mountain highway

[spoon]

I think we just wrote a script!


and my guess is it's already miles ahead of the original!

queue up the music, it's time to catch giants!

[newport king]

The original soundtrack was a mix between what they play on BPM and melodramatic music during cut scenes. To make it "artsy". I KNOW we could do better.

[sailor]

Bale and Jackman

It was a great movie. Don't even be silly.

[newport king]

We're The Millers was really funny

[newport king]

Capped off the day by watching Evil Dead. Jesus christ this hands down is the goriest movie I've ever seen. Good horror, a few oh shit moments but usually the same cheap monster pop up/loud audio tricks you get with any horror flick. But i did like it. I would definitely recommend of you're a horror fan.

[sailor]

SothD and Hot Fuzz. The Guns and Cornettos Trilogy I think they call it.

Seems silly to have those together.

[realmenhatelife]

I'm not sure if you mean SotD and Hot Fuzz or Guns and Ice Cream Cones.

Also, saw Dredd since you were talking it up. Was an interesting movie, but needlessly gross at times to me.

They're all kindof about the same thing and all Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost.

[realmenhatelife]

Lords of Salem was really good. I know some people really hate it, I really liked it. Radio station DJ Heidi recieves a strange record, when she plays it she begins having strange and disturbing visions that reveal her link to a coven of witches from puritan times.

It's a lot like The Shining and Rosemarys Baby, but psychadelic. There are only practical effects so sometimes things dont look quite right but that makes it unsettling. Its a really great looking movie, really great sets and great composition in the images. The characters are all on the surface but it pulls off that thing where you still get an impression of them and engage with them. At some point it became standard that either a character was fully flushed out or they were a failure. If you do it right you can have a 90 minute movie with very little exposition where you still know things about the characters and their relationships with eachother and care what happens to them. You didn't need a half hour of Dick's backstory in The Shining to hate that he gets killed as soon as he gets back to The Overlook.

Just a creep fest. I get why people hate it, I think you either like Rob Zombie movies or you hate them.

[deliciousV]

I just finished World War Z, it looked a lot like a very intense Zombie movie (though the zombies could run), yet sounded a lot like Jurassic Park. I really did like it though.
Before that I watched The Worlds End, it was very funny, for the most part, but I didn't care for the ending too much.

Did the zombies "swarm?" I've only seen the trailer, but it looked like they'd move really, really fast and kind of tumble over each other in a bog 'ol pile. I almost watched the movie just to see how they moved like that, but I don't like those kind of creepy movies.

they swarm and infect really fast, you should watch it though, Brad Pitt is in it, and he's just dreamy.

Yes, it's a mostly bloodless zombie movie. In fact, they , like 28 Days Later, might not really qualify as zombies, more like rabid people

Tonight I watched "Jobs" , it wasn't as bad as some have made it seem, I think people have trouble seeing past Ashton Kutcher, even though he looks a lot like a young Steve Jobs, also I think it's based on a who gives a shit subject, who really cares about the travails of another extremely rich man.

[realmenhatelife]

I was bummed with Star Trek 2, it kindof stunk. It wasn't a terrible movie, but it started slow and then drug at the end. There's a sweet spot in the middle there that really works but its only for like a half hour.

It's easily the most convoluted plot ever. The amount of shit crammed into the plot is nuts to either achieve really minor plot points or make reference to previous star trek. And the level of reference is intense and constant. With as happy as we all were with Star Trek 1 which had very minor reference I dont get why they were compelled to go so heavy with reference here.

And the balance is really bad. You have a big ensemble and sometimes it's pretty obvious how little most of them have to do.

It's really good looking except for all the lens flair. Stop with the lens flair, you cant have lens flair inside of a room.

And there's an allegory here about terrorism, but the end of the movie is somewhat counter to the moral problem in the movie.

The whole thing is Admiral Dick wants to kill Kahn without a trial, which Kirk is like no thats bullshit and immoral. Then at the end of the movie they steal Kahns blood and put him and his whole race in cryovac with no trial. So like it's anti war on terror but pro gitmo?

Also, old spock "I vowed to never tell you about your future.... but okay here is your future.

Watched the Evil Dead remake at the lodge Saturday night. it was all dark and spooky and after it was over, I went straight to bed. It was not a bit scary but very gory.

It might be the goriest movie I've ever seen. I think it would've worked had it been a standalone movie. Not an Evil Dead remake.

Just watched Olympus Has Fallen. Pretty cool Call of Duty feel to it when they're taking the White House. After that it was pretty much a DieHard/24 hybrid. It was preposterous but enjoyable.

[newport king]

World War Z. Little too much CGI. Not bad though.

[PapaBear]

I'm watching it now.

[jennysmurf]

Yeah, but can you move over a bit? I can't see the screen.

I'm done watching it. It was terrible. There was ZERO action. Brad Pitt beat up his wife. You definitely shouldn't watch it, Jenny. You'd hate it.

[Dan G]

Haven't posted in here since January. Time to catch up.

God Bless America (2011) - Bobcat Goldthwait is a director I will continue checking for. While this one wasn’t my favorite of his, it was still enjoyable.

Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) - I was listening to The Ron & Fez Show and they were talking about what’s more uncomfortable to watch with your parents, violent scenes in movies or sex scenes? I actually called in to contribute and told a story about the first nude scene I remembered watching with my parents. It was this movie. It was on HBO at my grandparents house in 1982, I was 8. A naked woman gets out of bed and walks across the hall to the bathroom. I remember my mom saying to me “Danny, turn your head” as she bolted in front of the TV to obstruct my view. My mom then told me they (breasts) weren’t real. That really messed me up for quite awhile because I thought that all naked women in movies wore some sort of prosthetic.
As for the movie, this was my first time seeing it as an adult since that memorable day. This is actually really good, even won Best Picture. Better than Apocalypse Now? So hard to compare the two, but Dustin Hoffman’s performance was really great. The kid, too.

The Lie (2011) - A guy who’d rather get high than sit at his job editing videos comes up with a lie to leave work. It was successful enough that the next day he tries again, only this time his lie is much bigger. He tells his boss that his baby daughter has suddenly died. Now his concerned co-workers all want to console him and bring cards, gifts, and a large amount of money that they’ve pooled together while he tries hiding the lie he told from his wife.
Sounds like it could be a comedy, but it’s really more of a drama with a few funny moments.

Jeff, Who Lives at Home (2011) - Another movie about a slacker. This story’s been told many times. The loser brother that lives at home and the successful, married brother that wants no part of his sibling’s life.
It was still good. Really short, which was nice.

Slap Shot (1977) - Went to my brother’s house and while he was putting his son down for a nap, I took control of the remote. Had I not, I’m sure he would’ve found some NCIS marathon on USA. So, I discover Flix on Demand. I use to always watch Flix, but it’s not in HD, so I never check for SD channels. I see this movie being available and knew my brother would love it, so I went ahead and selected it.
This was my second time seeing it. Such a hilarious movie. My brother loved it, too.

Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap (2012) - Ice-T’s documentary about how rap artists hone their craft. Some really great interviews.

Carnal Knowledge (1971) - A movie about relationships. I was a little confused because the couples would change. I didn’t realize that the characters were aging from their college years to decades later.
Jack Nicholson was so great in this, like that’s a bold statement.

The Secret Garden (1949) - An orphaned girl is sent to live with her wealthy uncle in his large castle. There, she discovers a locked door that leads to a garden area. Determined to get in there, she meets a boy next door to help her. This is a black & white film, but some parts are in color, similar to The Picture of Dorian Gray. Good stuff.

Forgive me for the remaining short reviews, but there’s just too many movies that I watched this year.

Time Bandits (1981) - Liked it.

Restrepo (2010) - Documentary about a US Army post in Afghanistan named after a soldier killed in action. Interesting.

Flight (2012) - It was alright.

Smokey and the Bandit (1977) - Loved this. Can’t believe I never watched this as a kid.

Smokey and the Bandit II (1980) - Hated this. The first one left off with a great ending, don’t know why the sequel didn’t pick up from where the first one ended.

Laura (1944) - Great noir.

Papillon (1973) - Liked it.

Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God (2012) - Documentary about a midwest church where several kids, now well into adulthood, talk about how they were sexually molested by priests, and how they were told to keep quiet as the church defended the priests actions. Sick shit and sad how they were taken advantage of.

Something Wild (1986) - Had a girl over and she wanted to watch a movie. I picked this one off my shelf. I liked it enough and hoped she’d like it since she had never heard of it. She liked it and I got laid. Win win.

Back to the Future (1985) - A few days later same girl comes back over. This time I let her pick the movie. Can never get tired of this one.

Back to the Future II (1989) - The next day she comes back over and wants to watch the next one. It’s a fun followup.

In Bruges (2007) - She comes back over a few days later, but I had to put the kabosh on BTTF III. That one I did not enjoy. In Bruges it was. Liked this one a lot.

The Terrorists (1974) - Sean Connery must stop terrorists in some European country. Can’t remember much about this one. It was alright.

Battle of the Bulge (1965) - Decent WWII movie.

Marooned (1969) - Really good space drama about astronauts stranded in space. The trailer for Gravity reminds me a lot of this one.

Guys and Dolls (1955) - Watched this just for the sake of saying that I actually watched it.

The Imposter (2012) - Documentary about a French homeless guy that tricked an American family that he was their long lost kidnapped son. Really good.

Riki-Oh (1991) - Can’t believe this was on Turner Classic Movies. Such a crazy movie.

Cargo (2013) - 7-minute Australian zombie short. It was really well done. You should watch it.

<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/gryenlQKTbE?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/gryenlQKTbE?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Yoyo (1964) - I had never heard of Pierre Etaix until I saw that Criterion was releasing a box set of his films. That same week, Turner Classic Movies dedicated a night to Pierre Etaix’s movies.
I honestly can’t remember what this about but it was decent. I at least stuck around for the next one that followed it.

Happy Anniversary (1962) - Another Pierre Etaix movie. This one was funny. A man must get home to his wife on their anniversary, but traffic and many other comical things delay his trip.

$ (1971) - Warren Beatty robs a bank that he’s hired to protect. It has an interesting title, no words, just the symbol. It was good.

The Barbarian and the Geisha (1958) - John Wayne in Japan. Not very good.

Lonesome Luke Messenger / By the Sad Sea Waves / Bashful / The Big Idea (1917) / A Gasoline Wedding / Look Pleasant, Please / Take a Chance (1918) - A whole bunch of Harold Lloyd shorts. Funny stuff.

River of No Return (1954) - Robert Mitchum fights off Indians as he and his son take a lady friend into town. Robert Mitchum is such a great actor. This was good.

Crumb (1994) - Documentary about the famous cartoon artist. I was completely unfamiliar with this guy. Only knew of him because of this movie. It was alright.

The Big Knife (1955) - I have no recollection of this. I can picture the DVD cover from watching it on Netflix, but I can’t remember anything about the movie. I need to start posting here after each movie I watch instead of letting them build up.

Viva Zapata! (1952) - Marlon Brando plays the Mexican dictator. It was decent.

The Machine That Kills Bad People (1952) - Italian movie about a photographer who discovers that his camera is killing everyone that he photographs. It was cool.

The Sunshine Boys (1975) - Fictional account of 2 Vaudeville stars, who are now much older, that broke up and went in different directions once talkies came around. It was funny.

Hard Times (1975) - Charles Bronson plays a street fighter making a living off of random fights. Good film.

1941 (1979) - Great cast, terrible movie.

Side Effects (2013) - Liked this one a lot.

Sneakers (1992) - Good movie.

The Projectionist (1970) - A projectionist fantasizes on the job, putting himself as a hero in a made up movie in his head. Rodney Dangerfield plays his asshole boss. It was good.

Lenny (1974) - Dustin Hoffman portrays the comedian, Lenny Bruce. I wet in not ever hearing any of Lenny’s material, just knowing that he was arrested for using vulgar language on stage. I liked it.

This Is Cinerama (1952) - A movie that shows the advantages to using the widescreen format. Doesn’t really make much sense to watch now, but in the early 50’s this must’ve been fascinating.

Zotz! (1963) - A magical coin that can slow time down is discovered by a professor and sought by the government. Decent, family type movie.

Richard III (1955) - This was tough to sit through, but I prevailed.

The Manitou (1977) - An Indian spirit takes over a woman’s body in a hospital. It kept me entertained.

Clear History (2013) - A 100 minute Curb episode. Still liked it a lot.

A Trip to the Moon (1902) - 67 years before NASA put men on the moon, this is what one director though a trip to the moon would be like. Trippy.

Blue Jasmine (2013) - All these movies I’ve watched and none were in theaters since January, prior to this current post. Woody Allen brings me back. Even though it has Louis CK and Andrew Dice Clay, it’s not really a comedy. I liked it.

Argo (2012) - I got this for free on Blu-ray from Warner Bros. The caveat was that I had to watch the film and all of the bonus features within 7 days and then answer a survey about it.
Didn't realize there were 2 different commentaries on the disk, so, I basically watched the movie 3 times this week, plus a few other features. I pretty much know all there is to know about Argo now.

BTTF 3 is not awful. It's atleast on par with 2. And on the bright side if you're picking Something Wild and she's picking BTTF hey, it means she likes you, because she pretended to like Something Wild.

[pennington]

1941 (1979) - Great cast, terrible movie.

It really is an awful movie. I even bought the extended version DVD thinking it may make sense with deleted scenes added back in. It's still bad, only longer. Everybody must have been high during the making of this and they must have thought it was hilarious.

Rise of the Guardians

Surprisingly solid film. Way better than i thought it would be based on the just awful trailers last year.

[realmenhatelife]

That LT documentary, which should've just been called "a parade of enablers." The number of times you hear someone say "oh that's just not Lawrence" or "LT and Lawrence are different guys..."

Magic Magic - I hate michael cera but when you're supposed to hate him thats good casting. Chile looks like a beautiful place. I dont get Juno Temple but she does manage to look like an unhinged nutjob in everything she does, and Emily Browning's face has successfully made the transition to 100% pie. This movie was too ambiguous, and if I say that damn you know you're ambiguous. I can tell there's a really rich subtext combined with a cultural tradition I'm not familiar with, but there isn't enough of it on screen to get a sense of whats actually going on. But Juno Temple visits her cousin who is doing a year abroad in Chile for what is euphemistically called 'a break.' Thrust into a totally unfamiliar place, suffering from insomnia, and surrounded by ambivilant strangers Temple starts to come unhinged, circling the drain faster and faster until the climax of the movie. Didn't especially like it. Juno Temple is also contractually obligated to be naked in everything.

Prisoners - It was good but I had high hopes so I think I was a little let down. Hugh Jackman is intense, Maria Bello is starting to look like my Aunt Annette. Another war on terror allegory, but it handles it a lot better than Star Trek. People in my theater didn't understand the ending or who some of the characters were. Well I guess they got the ending but they thought the ending was ambiguous when it was clearly 100% not and not intended to be at all. They just didn't show you what happens to spare you 20 minutes of forgone conclusion. Like if at the end of a movie a guy wins a million dollar scratch ticket, if they dont show him going to the 7-11 and filling out his prize claim form, then going to the lotto office and getting a check, my theater would've gone "ohhhh, what? Cmon!"

The movie is set in Berks County PA and it certainly looks like Suburban SE PA. It would've been better if it built a little more atmosphere especially since it's pretty reliant on religious imagery both christian and pagan.

Iron Man 3 kindof sucked.

Gravity (2013) - Saw this in 3-D. Even though it was post-converted, it looked incredible. This was beautifully shot, or digitized, however the hell it was made, it was stunning.

[newport king]

Iron Man 3 kindof sucked.


I inherited a friend (father of my sons best friend). Who is a huge comic book guy. I think the vast majority of comic movies are the drizzling shits. He on the other hand, talks about every one like its the Godfather.

Haven seen Ironman3 yet. Although by his glowing review im expecting something as good as On The Waterfront.

If Bruce Willis gets divorced again, these films will never end.

Europa Report kind of a more boring, lower budget, shittier Prometheus

Empire State if you liked A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints, its like that, but worse. The Rock was terribly miscast in this.

Pain and Gain awful. The Rock was excellent in this one. Weird.

Gangster Squad i enjoyed it. Ryan Gosling is kind of a Mo. The Rock wasn't in this.

[realmenhatelife]

I rewatched/still despise Django Unchained. It somehow got even more racist since the last time... I was already really aware of the whole manifest destiny thing but I guess I didn't quite realize how paternalistic the relationship of Shultz and Django was. Which hey, if you're making a point about violent people raising violent children, sure, but he aint. But by this point I'm even feeling like it was particularly racist against the whites, who are such demonic characatures it's insane. Tarintino thinks he's black in the worst way you can, with a tone deaf, uneducated and patronizing empathy.



And then I had a big Hawaiin triple header. Lilo and Stitch, the last 30 for 30 which is about a surfer, and North Shore.

We watched North Shore constantly when we were kids. I always thought that the last surfing scene was to win the big contest, because everyone acts like it is. I realize now that it was just some random heat during the day, so you really have no clue who wins or how close anyone gets to winning. Also, the guy who is in the water and sees the villian cheat, I always thought he was the life guard but he was the ref. So the ref see's the villian cheat but doesn't DQ him. I guess the point is that because he's the most respected guy on the North Shore that he will now tell everyone that the good guy is a solid dude and the villian is a dick. And I also never realize how odd the end is with the love interest. The good guy says "move with me to new york, you always wanted to go.." and she she says no, I have to stay here. And you think it's just setting it up for her to change her mind at the end, but no, she really does just stay in Hawaii.

Also, all the lyrics on the really bad soundtrack are written into the subtitles, so watch it with the subtitles.

Machete (2010) - I bought my Blu-ray player in January 2011 and this was the first Blu-ray that I bought. Finally took the time to watch it tonight, though I did see it twice during its theatrical run. This was much more to watch in a theater. I still enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing Machete Kills this weekend.

Machete Kills (2013) - I loved the first Machete. I saw it the day it came out and immediately after seeing called my brother and told him that we're going to the theater to see it the next day. He had not even heard of it. He ended up loving it as much as I did. Went to see the sequel today with my brother and we were both extremely bored. This was nowhere near as fun as the first. It was as bad as the worst James Bond movie.

Gravity (2013) - After Machete Kills ended my brother suggests we sneak into another movie. I grab my phone to see what's playing next and see that Gravity 3-D starts in 10 minutes. He says he has a pair of glasses in his car, but I told him that I didn't want to share 1 pair. He leaves to use the bathroom while I stay behind...beause when I see a movie I have to sit through the entire credits. He comes back less than a minute later with 2 pairs of glasses that he had just found. On to see Gravity.
This was my second time seeing this film, and first time that I have ever snuck into a movie. I wish I had seen this in IMAX, but after 1 week it was gone from IMAX screens in theaters near me. This is such an amazing movie, as far as as visuals go. Just stunning. By far, it was the best movie I watched today.

[newport king]

Is it good or VISUALLY good? Like how Prometheus was.

[realmenhatelife]

I watched Movie 43 and This is the End. Both had some chuckles, more so This is the End and the parts of This is the End that weren't funny weren't capital A awful like in movie 43. Keith Robinson and Danny McBride are the highlights I think, and I wasn't into Franco. Watching Rihanna smack Michael Cera was pretty good.

I appreciate anthology comedies, I really like Kentucky Fried Movie and Amazon Women on the Moon. Movie 43 had like 2 actually funny sketches then 2 of 3 segments of sketches that worked, then the rest was bad. It was better than Vince Offers Underground Comedy Movie, thats for sure.

[newport king]

Craig Robinson. Racist. :lol:

[newport king]

Also watched This is the End. Didnt live up to the hype.

Now You See Me was good

Gravity is good, but I don't think it'll be Best Picture good. There's only so much you can do with 2 main characters stranded in space before it becomes monotonous. The film was short for that reason. It's still good, but it's the visuals that make this film amazing to watch, much more than the story/character development.

For the record, I have never seen Prometheus.

Killer Joe (2011) - I liked Matthew McConaughey as a detective/hitman hired to kill the mother of a troubled son with financial burdens for her life insurance policy.
Gina Gershon deepthroating a piece of fried chicken grossed me out more than turned me on.
Movie was good until the final shot before the credits rolled, then I was left confused why it ended that way.

Pootie Tang (2001) - Knowing Louis C.K.'s current body of work, you'd never guess that he was the man behind this movie. I didn't find it overly hilarious, but it did have its moments.

Good Morning (1959) - Ozu directed this movie about 2 young brothers who vow silence to everyone except each other until their parents buy a TV. Their silence ends up creating a rift between their neighbors, who felt they're rudely being ignored, not knowing the pact that was created. Weirdly enough, the kids can fart on command. This was strange.

The Fortune (1974) - Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson attempt to murder an heiress for her money. Great cast and chemistry, but the movie really wasn't good.

The last two 30 for 30s, The Spirits of St Louis about the ABA team and No Mas about Sugar Ray Leonard vs Roberto Duran II including Leonard going to talk to Duran in Panama both stunk. Could've been a half hour each.

Spirits is by far the worse offender of the two, atleast it felt like No Mas left some stuff on the table that it didn't execute on and then you wonder about. Spirits is mediocre team is mediocre but we're supposed to love that shit was like anchorman in the 70s and then two guys make a good business deal.

Total Recall (the original) - I recently bought the Blu-Ray. I hadn't seen this in years and was surprised at how well it held up. It was nice, too, to see a sci-fi movie made right before CGI overwhelmed everything.

Down the Shore - I had never heard of this film when I saw a copy at the library. An independent film, one of James Gandolfini's last roles, released in 2011. It's low-budget but the story was interesting; Gandolfini was good, he plays a beaten-down kind of character. Like a lot of independent films there's a lot of, shall we say, inexperienced acting but there was a French guy in it (I forget his name) who was pretty good too.

[realmenhatelife]

Total Recall and Robocop are both still amazing.

The most recent Die Hard movie - a good day to die hard .
First time in a long time that I stopped watching - 30 mins was all I could take.
It sucked really bad and Willis' acting was crap.
Stay away from this mess children.:thumbdown:

It really was a flaming turd, Willis was never McClain in it, 90% of his dialog was him saying "jesus" over and over.
The good news is, they're doing another one! "Die Hardest" , announced in April. Yippee ki yay. Fuck us all.

Agreed. I am a huge fan of the Die Hard series, but this one was shit. It wasn't John McClain. It was Bruce Willis yawning his way through a movie pretending to be Wolverene.



It wasn't my first choice but I saw Captain Phillips. I had reservations because of the "true story" aspect and the fact his crew is suing him for negligence. BUT.. damn.. all that totally disappeared from my mind because it was a well done film. Intense and gripping, it was a great movie.

Devils Rejects was awesome

Halloween was enjoyable (especially young mike myers)

Halloween 2 was a miss

Lords just seemed like a mish mosh of ideas with no real direction in the story.

The set design and practical effects were probably my favorite part. I like the convention of the music thing. It's a psychadelic horror movie so I like the way that manipulates you into being uneasy. Obviously it's not a plot driven movie, if you were going to sumarize it for someone it wouldn't take long, but I dont think it was intended to be and I enjoy the whole package. It's hard to get a movie right impressionistically and this was successful for me.

Only God Forgives was ok. It was better than Drive, anyway. Mostly I was indifferent to it. I was like 'oh I like that shot where someone is standing in a doorway looking hard' but they did it like a hundred times.

I like the movie conceptually. People get very wrapped up in revenge motifs and ignore that one of the primary tenants of modern society is that we need a mechanism that interrupts the revenge cycle. In a lot of ways this movie is the anti-django.

I saw it, and I was underwhelmed.
There was a stillness to it that, to me, crossed over into boring. I understand that it was a CHOICE, but it felt overdone.
Glad I saw it, I suppose. But I certainly couldn't see myself watching it a 2nd time.

I think a lot of that has to do with Ryan Gosling. I dont think he puts a lot into a silent role, and it makes everything really flat. I would've enjoyed the movie more if there was more to it, for sure.

A couple of Blu-ray's I picked up of movies I haven't seen in years:

Independence Day - Still good. This movie could be released today and do well, even with the unnecessary scenes of Will Smith's, Jeff Goldblum's, Bill Pullman's and Randy Quaid's personal lives.

48 Hours - Dated but entertaining buddy movie. I don't believe the premise any more today than I did when I first saw it or that a 140 pound Eddie Murphy could beat up a 200 pound Nick Nolte in a fight, but hey, it's Hollywood.

Thoroughly disappointed with Enders game.

[realmenhatelife]

I started watching Oliver Stone's Untold History of the US on Showtime.

Part 1 is about WW2 and mainly explaining how pivotal the role of Russia was in winning the war.

It sortof bugs me because I know something about history. If I didn't know anything about history aside from what people just say in short hand in little snippets I might've been shocked by this installment. But even in my high school history class we talked about how Russia was the main component in winning the European theater because the Russian campaign basically broke the German war machine and gave the allies enough time to win in Africa and invade Normandy.

What's annoying is he presents this idea that you've been fed these bias lines all your life and history is more complicated, and more secular than you understand. But if you know history for realz you understand how bias Stone is too. He throws a lot of stuff out there with no context, like why the US didn't want to enter the war or why appeasement was considered viable. He doesn't talk about how popular facism, communism, and naziism were throughout Europe.

The piece sets up Vice President Wallace for the next episode, who Stone obviously loves, and also really really pays a lot of due to Russia while glancing over what a total fucking nightmare stalin was and what role that also played in the US and UK decision making process. When discussing Stalin having his own troops for perceived cowardace the tone is nearly approving.

All in all there are some major oversights. I dont think you can talk about WWII without talking about WWI, which is a hugely important event that a lot of people dont understand. In the beginning of the episode Stone says WWII had a gradual beginning, unlike WWI, which is laughably inaccurate. WWI was engineered through obscure diplomatic relations and obligations. There is very little mention of Japanese war crimes in China and the South Pacific. There is no mention of how unprepared the German's were to invade Russia. They were sent in very poorly supplied. There's no talk of Russian behavior when marching through Poland to Germany which included much atrocity. There's no real mention of the holocaust either which is the whole reason we think of WWII as 'the good war.' Stone has no problem applying this retroactive perception to WWII which was not as popular at the time, was outright unpopular before pearl harbor, but hypocritically does not do the same service to anti communist cold war sentiment to maybe understand why Russia is not given all the credit stone gives them when Americans and Brits talk about the war in short hand.

I also object to the idea, if we're really really going to be as objective as possible, to saying that Russia won the war for us. Because our war was with Japan and we might not have been able to enter Europe if Germany didn't declare war on us first. FDR was handcuffed not to go into Europe until that point and we did not have the same financial obligations that drug us into WWI. The idea of winning a world war is sortof ludicrous anyway.

There were some interesting things I hadn't thought of. Blunders on the Axis side that could've changed the tide of the war like Germany not working with Japan to fight on two fronts in Russia, or to attack India.

You have to go into this understanding that you're getting Oliver Stone's version, which isn't untold and isn't at all unbiased.

[PapaBear]

Thoroughly disappointed with Enders game.
The previews looked very boring. And previews tend to pick out the most exciting stuff. Not a good sign.

[realmenhatelife]

The Heat was really funny. Like even if you didn't like Bridesmaids you should probably try The Heat because it's a slightly different tone. I was watching it by myself and I did in fact laugh out loud.




Continuing on with Oliver Stones version of US history. He's very big on taking his thesis statement like "If Wallace had remained vice president we would've had an American Eutopia" or "Dropping the atom bomb on Japan was immoral and unnecessary" and then omitting deferring evidence rather than disproving it. I get that this is the 'untold' history so of course we're going to be looking at alternatives, but he presents it in a way that ignores that it was ever alternative. Maybe the intent is to make you realize how you accept history as truthful without asking for the alternative viewpoint, but I dont think thats what he wants. The real effect is everything comes off as conspiracy.

He still loves Stalin too. Like he kindof maybe justifies the Red Army killing and raping all over Poland and Germany.

According to Stone dropping the bomb was wrong but also no one noticed or cared that we dropped the bomb because of all the fire bombing LeMay had been doing. No moral judgment is passed on that. According to Stone we never would've had to make landfall in Japan to get them to surrender which I dont believe but also is misleading, because the Russians invading Manchuria is what Stone claims ended the pacific war. So, someone did have to invade Japan. We were never positive Russia would open a pacific front and Stalin isn't as trustworthy as Stone insists he is.

The real thing here is that war is immoral no matter how or why it's fought, and Stone wont recognize that.

We dropped the bomb to scare the Russians and Stone paints this as the beginning the nuclear arms race. That's just not true because the Russians had already been working on nuclear arms.

One great example of how Stone conveniently omits things is after the war Oppenheimer went to Truman to warn him about nuclear proliferation. Stone implies that Truman had Oppenheimer hounded by the FBI after this which he took as communist sympathies. You're supposed to go 'oh Truman that bastard hounded the good hearted scientist with these false accusations' except that in episode one Stone has already told us how Oppenheimer belonged to every communist group active in America. The communist paranoia was bad but Oppenheimer was atleast the communist sympathizer Truman thought he was as were all the scientists chased out of Europe by Fascists, Nazis and the Soviet Secret police who built our nuclear program.

Another really glaring episode in Stones history points to the manner in which Wallace was taken off the ticket before FDR's last election. Stone would have you believe the the machinations of big business and big politics 86'd the champion of the people in favor of know nothing stooge Truman. The truth is the vast majority that supported Wallace on the opening night of the convention was a trick using conterfeit and misdated tickets. A vote was not called because other delegates had been frozen out. FDR himself did not want to run with Wallace again because everyone knew FDR would most likely die during the term. One of the 'villians' of the first few episodes, Senator Byrnes, who Stone paints as a puppet master behind Truman and the engineer of damaging foreign policy was actually a close adviser of FDR and one of his primary choices for running mate. Stone portrays FDR's position as wanting Wallace but unable to attend the convention due to health concerns. FDR had been in Chicago just before the convention and was hiding out so that he didn't have to confront any of the men he had indicated he would run with, instead using underlings to instruct Wallace to drop out of the race.

It isn't a lot of plot or gag driven humor it's basically really funny interplay between characters that works. So I dont know that it would come off in a trailer. I was not expecting to think it was as funny as I did.


I hate Jesse Eisenberg.

[sailor]

There were two big parts of the trailer where they were going for McCarthy over-the-top gags that just fell so flat. One was she was going to slam someones head into a door thousands of times. If was just a dud line. I'll get back to you on the other.

He's dreamy.

I also forgot I saw Hangover 3 and didn't like it. I know people didn't like it and that it was 'dark' and I was hoping that it was too weird or too challenging but really too dark just means violent. So it was a lot like the other ones just violent too.

I saw "The Motel Life" , it's dark and gritty, you feel like you need a shower after watching, but there are good performances and a good, yet hopeless, story.

Not so much that it was "dark", it just wasn't either funny or compelling. The first one was magical, in a way, how it came together. They should have stopped there, but business is business.

I bought the Halloween Blu-Ray, I hadn't seen it in years. It's amazing how simply it's made and how effective it still is. Even the sequel is good and continues the story.

[realmenhatelife]

I saw Old Boy this weekend. It was muddled, a little middle of the road. It seemed like it wasn't sure if it should be really extreme and stylish or if it should be more accessible. If you had no idea what Old Boy is about I think it mightve been a little better, but it's also hard to believe that people who didn't know the original would feel super compelled to see this.

I wonder if, when it was announced as being like a Steven Speilberg movie with Will Smith that so many resources were dumped into it that no one could ever say 'lets not make this movie' once all the really bankable assets had dropped off of it.

Micheal Imperioli plays an Irish bar owner because white people all look alike. And they changed the ending, actually pretty significantly and obviously to keep it more palatable. They also keep the big side scroller fight scene but it isn't as fun, and there are two nods to the squid eating scene which also doesn't happen.

I just bought the Chinatown blu-ray from Amazon. When I buy a used copy, I usually check to make sure it works, even if I don't watch it for months. I watched it straight through, which I never do anymore; I didn't want to turn it off.

Still a good movie. Jack Nicholson is great; Faye Dunaway is actually acting (before she turned into Norma Desmond); and John Huston is, well, John Huston. There's an interesting plot without a happy ending.

Too bad Roman Polanski did what he did and then ran away. He would have had a long career in Hollywood.

Saw Anchorman 2 and I enjoyed it but it wasn't as funny as the original. In fact, most scenes just didn't feel right and didn't get many laughs.

There was a bunch of racial scenes that were so bad they were cringeworthy.

Saving Mr. Banks was really good, the wife and I talked about it for the last few days, memorable. The Butler, a beautiful story, the best acting Forest Whitaker has done, maybe ever. The Way Way Back, it felt a lot like a modern MeatBalls, but it was a good watch, and a bit touching.

The Comedy - This was a weird, depressing, funny movie. Felt like they didn't know if they wanted to make a comedy or a drama, but I really enjoyed it for some reason.

I heard it as more of a soft southern accent, parts of Missouri are as far south as middle Tennessee and deeper south than Kentucky. It's not impossible, I'm guessing Hanks listened to a lot of Walt Disney recordings while forming his character.

besides, it has less to do with where you're raised, and more to do with who raised you. HA!

They're probably trying to appeal to Southerners, who welcome the Southern accent, and New Yorkers, who think everyone outside of the North East has a Southern Accent.

Pork Chop Hill (1959) - Set during the Korean War as it's coming to an end; US and Chinese soldiers battle over what turns out to be a worthless hill. Good film.

Dumbo (1941) - Went to bed one night without having anything to watch, so I'm scrolling through Netflix and see this and its very short runtime. I honestly wasn't sure if I had ever seen this in its entirety, so I put it on. Great story and I love the animation style. The ending seemed a bit abrupt. My only regret for watching this is now Netflix is constantly recommending me to watch more animated films.

The Landlord (1970) - A wealthy white man purchases an apartment building in the ghetto with the plans to remove the residents and turn it into a giant home for himself. He ends up meeting the many different tenants and starts feeling guilty about his plans. It was pretty funny.

Made in U.S.A (1966) - Godard is hit or miss for me and this was a miss. Apparently, it was a remake of The Big Sleep, which I still have never seen. Maybe I would have appreciated it more if I had.

Compulsion (1959) - Two college guys think they can commit the perfect crime, so they murder a young boy. Of course, things don't go as planned and they end up being defended in court by their lawyer played by Orson Welles. Weirdly, Orson gets top billing in the credits but doesn't show up on screen until an hour into the film. It was good. Kind of reminded me of Hitchcock's Rope.

Little Big Man (1970) - Dustin Hoffman plays a 120+ year old man telling his life history, which included witnessing the murder of his parents by Indians and then being adopted by a friendly tribe. To this day, Dustin holds the record for aging in film, playing a teenager, going through adulthood and then ending in his 120's.

The Entity (1981) - Supposedly a true story about a woman constantly sexually assaulted by an unseen ghost. I liked this, especially the music that was played every time she was being raped.

Funny Games (1997) - Never thought I'd see something like this on Turner Classic Movies. A family, off to their summer home are encountered by two young men that hold the family hostage and basically torture them. I loved this.

True Confessions (1981) - Robert DeNiro and Robert Duvall play brothers. DeNiro is a priest caught up with shady people and Duvall is a detective, trying to solve the murder of a prostitute. Kind of boring.

Massacre Mafia Style (1974) - Really low budget but high in entertainment value.

It's a Wonderful Life (1947) - Somehow I went 39 years without ever seeing this. Changed that this past Christmas Eve.

Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) - Don't really know why I watched this. Maybe it just makes me feel smarter when I can recite songs from musicals.

Alice in Wonderland (1933) - This is a live action film that pre-dates the animated Disney film. Loaded with many famous actors, though most are in costume and unrecognizable. The effects were cool considering the era it came out in.

Russian Ark (2002) - Boring film yet was amazed at how well it was made. One camera and only one take. Seems pretty simple if there weren't a lot of characters on screen, but this film had a bunch, including an elaborate ballroom dancing scene. There were a couple times where you could see actors waiting for their cue.

Phantom of the Rue Morgue (1954) - Based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe. Ten minutes in I knew who the villain was. There's always a ruse, but I didn't fall for it. Still had fun watching it.

Rolling Thunder (1977)- I always make New Year’s Day a habit to watch a movie I’ve never seen that I’ve always wanted to see. This one kicks off 2014 for me.
Great revenge film about a tortured P.O.W. in Vietnam who is released after 7 years and arrives in his home state of Texas. He gets a deserved hero’s welcome and lots of gifts, including over $2,500 in silver dollars.
A group of thugs decides they want that money and do what they have to to get it.
This then turns into the ultimate revenge flick. It’s a slow burn, but the final 10 minutes all make up for the previous 90.

Going to try posting what I watch the same day rather than let titles build up over several weeks/months. My new Tumblr page should help with that, http://whatdiddanwatch.tumblr.com. No more of these long posts.

I watched "Lone Survivor" tonight. Intense and awesome. At times hard to watch for a parent of a soldier. Really strong, and very emotional.

I felt the title gave it away. You knew what was going to happen to the other poor bastards even before anything went down. I think that if I had a child in the armed services, I would have to refrain from watching anything even close to that. Too real.

Target was having a sale on Blu-rays before Christmas so I bought Romancing the Stone and the sequel Jewel of the Nile. Romancing the Stone was the better of the two but maybe you have to be gay to appreciate these.

There are documentaries in the Special Features sections of each film. It's ironic to see that of the three stars, Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito, Danny DeVito is the one who aged the best.

I know im about 13 years late but i never saw the LOTR trilogy. I recorded them on the dvr and watched the first two yesterday. Finale this morning. I dont get what the appeal was. I never read the book, never played D & D, so i thought they were incredibly long and drawn out. I just dont get what the big deal was.

i found that it is love or hate with people who watch these. When the first one came out 3 of us went and saw it. One friend said he didn't get it and they were just walking all over the place for 3 hours.

I feel like they jammed alot of shit in there that didnt need to happen in order to stretch it out. Half the shit thry wrre talking about i couldnt really follow. Then there were parts i couldnt hear what the characters were saying. I went so far as to look up who did the audio mixing. Apparently they won a shit ton of awards. 60% of the dialogue i couldn't hear or follow.

Anyone that compares these to the original Star Wars is out of their mind.

[PapaBear]

I think LOTR is meant for people who have read the books. They could have probably streamlined it to make it more interesting to people who hadn't read the books. But then, the people who HAD read the books (the target audience) would be pissed off.

Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie

So stupid, yet hilarious. It was pretty much exactly what I expected going in.

[JimBeam]

Got to watch a bunch of movies while on a vacation after Christmas.

VHS - New the premise going into it. Not a huge fan of the 1st person genre as I think it's been overdone at this point. It was OK but I'd never watch it again.

VHS 2 - Same gimmick as the 1st one but I thought the in between stories were much better. I was disappointed that the " actually happening " parts didn't tie well w/ the 1st one and also provided no more details into what was happening.

The Collection - Still haven't seen the previous one ( The Collector ) but thought this was OK. Very much Saw-like but w/ it's own bits. Good watch but I expected more.

Texas Chainsaw - I had read the full synopsis so knew pretty much everything that was going to happen. I was very disappointed either way. Had some decent gore but not enough to make up for the suck of the whole thing. Ending was terrible. In fact the whole plot was terrible.

Dredd - Wasn't expecting much from it so what I got was understandable. Decent action and violence but the plot was absent. Characters, good or bad, produced no real emotion. Ending was abrupt and unsatisfying.

The Lockout - Pretty much the same as Dredd but w/ even less of an original plot. Guy Pearce was good as always but the movie went nowhere. Too many open plot points and another unsatisfying ending helped only by a small twist.

Redemption - What you'd expect from a Jason Statham movie. Good fight scenes and some clever dialog. Kinda slow at points. One of his more depressing roles ( kinda like Stallone in Coplan ). Decent ending in that you don't really see it coming and it's not happy.

The Raven - I'm not a big fan of period pieces but do like John Cusack and Edgar Allen Poe. Kind of a 19th century version of Saw/Silence Of The Lambs. Decent watch aided with the hot chick from She's Out Of Your League. Brian Gleason's also in it so that's a bonus.

Hit Man (1972) - I’ve always appreciated blaxploitation movies. Not that they’re cinematic masterpieces or anything, but they just have a very raw feeling to them.
This aired on Turner Classic Movies. Thankfully, I also recorded the movie that was on before this. TCM started this 15 minutes earlier than it was scheduled for.
This one really wasn’t that great. Bernie Casey comes to Los Angeles to find out who murdered his older brother. It did have a lot of nudity, so, those parts kept my attention. There was a brutal dog fighting scene. I have to believe that was authentic. Very bloody. Plus, you can’t train a dog to play dead like the losing dog in this fight did.

Bunny Lake Is Missing (1965) - A woman shows up to pick up her daughter from her first day at school. Unfortunately, the daughter cannot be found and no one can prove that she even exists. Very bizarre film, especially the final 20 minutes or so.

[deliciousV]

Her a decent movie with a bizarre concept, I won't give anything away, but Joaquin Phoenix does a spot on impression of Johnny Galecki's character, Leonard, from Big Bang Theory throughout the entire movie.

[Dan G]

The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) -After the suicide of its CEO, a company hires an inexperienced mail clerk in an attempt to sabotage the stock value, so that they can buy it back at a much cheaper price.
I love watching films by the Coen brothers, but this one I had never seen before. I thought it was good and very much reminded me of Brazil.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty If you can't make it thru the weirdness of the first 20 minutes, or the Papa Johns and EHarmony love, you'll miss a very good movie.

I saw Llewyn Davis. It was good. For most of the movie I was a little annoyed and a little bored because it seemed like all the energy went into making a meticulous period piece but then it starts to evolve and seems less nondiscript and more coheny. The end really saves it for me.

Too much singing. Maybe if you like folk music you wouldn't say the same thing but there are way too many instances of playing a whole song start to finish. If I'm right there was no soundtrack beyond what people sing, and the mix of live singing and dubbing is done pretty well, but there is a lot of it.

It IS a bit melancholy , but the guy is trying to get back in the dating game after a divorce. He has a first date with Olivia Wilde, which, when shot in closeup , shows the EXACT moment when you realize "uh oh" , and shows just how people are damaged . It left me asking a lot of questions(of myself mostly), and wanting to see it again on video.. Not too sure if its a date movie, though.

Wolf of Wallstreet -- Honestly don't get what all the hype was about. I watched it because so many people were saying how good it was. I am a fan of drugs and all, but it was nothing groundbreaking or even that interesting. Plus is was long as balls. It would be a decent watch if it came across HBO or showtime but thats about it.

Tootsie (1982) - Dustin Hoffman plays a struggling actor who decides to dress as a woman to audition for a role on a soap opera.
I was listening to The Ron & Fez Show yesterday and they were giving out a DVD of this movie signed by Jessica Lange. They mentioned that she won an Academy Award for her role in this film. I love watching her in all the incarnations of the American Horror Story series, so I wanted to see how she was 30+ years ago. Beautiful as ever…and still is.
I was surprised to see Bill Murray in this since his name wasn’t mentioned in the opening credits. He has a pretty big role, too.
This was a funny movie. I liked it.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) - An inventor tells the story of a car that can fly.
This is one of those films that I probably should have watched when I was a child, but never did. I felt I owed it to myself to finally watch it.
A little too musical for my taste, but I still liked it.
I had no idea that the creator of James Bond, Ian Fleming, was also the creator of this as well.
It was cool seeing Benny Hill in this. I used to love watching his TV show when I was a kid.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945) - It’s about a poor family in the early 1900s in Brooklyn. The father is constantly talking about how things will soon change for the better for them and the daughter believes every unrealistic word.

I read the book, it was pretty bleak, but a good story. I think I'd like to see the movie if they show a lot of Brooklyn. I watched "Marty" for the only reason that it showed a bunch of old New York scenery (that, and I loved Ernest Borgnine). I love old movies if they were shot on location.

I was never much of a Chevy Chase fan but liked him in Community so I bought a few of his movies.

1) Vacation - Still holds up (for what it is). When this came out everybody was making a big deal that Christie Brinkley was in it but Beverly D'Angelo is the one to look at.

2) Fletch - this movie isn't bad. Chevy is at his Chevy-ist doing multiple characters and ad-libs but there's actually a plot which they stick to.

3) Funny Farm where he's the normal one having to deal with a bunch of characters. I liked this movie and recommend it if you haven't seen it recently.

I also bought Old School, Unrated and Out of Control Edition - I'm not sure what was out of control, maybe they added a few more seconds of Will Ferrell's flabby ass. This took me forever to get through, I kept stopping it and then would watch a little more the next day to get through it. Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz from The Big Bang Theory) was in it as a nerdy character.

The Act of Killing (2012) - Just recently nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. This is about Indonesian death squad members, who in 1965, slaughtered thousands of people affiliated with communism. In this film, those same murderers get together to make a movie, re-enacting the murders they committed nearly 50 years ago.
This was not visually, a violent film, but their stories were graphic and just as powerful.
I liked this. My only problem, and this may be the fault of Netflix, it’s subtitled, which I expected, but it was also closed captioned. I didn’t need to read that a car horn was honking. I could hear it. I couldn’t find an option to turn them off.

Patton Oswalt was a guest programmer on Turner Classic Movies and this was one of the films that he had chosen.

They tried to blast it two times, and it still stood. Finally, they blasted it a third time, while pulling it down with bulldozers.

EDIT: I just found out that Rollercoaster is often confused with (by myself, included) with the made for TV movie Death of Ocean View Park. The same roller coaster (The Rocket) was in both movies, but it wasn't actually destroyed for Rollercoaster.

You sure? Back then all white people looked like steve guttenberg...except dspy, he still looked like Steve's Cocoon co-stars.
I used to have people say I looked like Guttenberg ALL the time in the late 80's. It was very annoying.
Was that on in Sensurround?
I saw Earthquake in Sensurround.

Shoot First, Die Later (1974) - A cop on the mob’s payroll doesn’t come through with obtaining a police report. As punishment, people close to him become targets, so the cop begins going after the mob.
I recorded this off of Turner Classic Movies. Usually a subtitled movie will have the translated title written below it, but this one didn’t, so I was never really sure if I was watching the movie I thought I was.
This was a good action film with a really great car chase scene. The ending was great, too.

Tomorrow Night (1998) - A lonely camera store owner whose only pleasure in life is sitting in a bowl of ice cream and masturbating, seeks someone compatible and ends up falling for a senior citizen in a miserable relationship.
Louis C.K. directed this film and had it play at the Sundance Film Festival in 1998. It was never seen publicly again until this past week when Louis released it for download on his website for $5.00.
This film features many notable comedians like Chuck Sklar, Steve Carell, Nick DiPaolo, Amy Poehler, Todd Barry, Wanda Sykes, J.B. Smoove, Robert Smigel, Rick Shapiro, Conan O’Brien, and more.
Seeing all of those names you would think this is going to be a great movie. I’m not going to say save your money since it’s only $5, but this wasn’t laugh out loud funny at all. It was more surreal than comedic. Almost had a David Lynch vibe to it. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Just prepare yourself for weird rather than funny.
For me, J.B. Smoove was the highlight in this. I can’t imagine there will ever be a time that I’d want to revisit this. I think one viewing is plenty.

I finished up watching Her.

Tragic.

Started to tear up at the end.

Just sitting around this morning listening to the soundtrack and wallowing in misery.

One of the best things I have seen in a while.

Going Berserk - A 1983 film starring John Candy, Joe Flaherty, and Eugene Levy made during their SCTV years. Unfortunately they didn't write it. Basically a muddled mess about a cult hypnotizing Candy to kill his future father-in-law, a Congressman, at his wedding. There are good character actors in supporting roles but it looks like they were making-up the dialog, and the plot, as they were filming.

Reign Of Fire.
I somehow never saw this one.
It takes place in the near future... long after dragons have come out of hibernation. The (nuclear!) war that ensued has scorched the earth and left very few survivors.
Among them is Christian Bale and Matthew McConanghyghyghy.
Just keep livin'? Not this time. spoiler alert.

This movie sucked BTW.
Don't watch it.

I saw this in the theater with my buddy who I saw a bunch of dumb movies with. He wound up seeing it like 5 times because he worked in an assisted living house for mentally disabled adults and he kept having to take them.

I actually liked it for one reason..McConaghy's wild -eyed bug-fuck nuts Army type, with a bald/buzz cut and a hell of a way with an axe.It was a pleasant change from the rom-coms he had started doing at the time.

THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND - I can remember Amin and how the American papers said he was a Cannibal. Here he's just portrayed as a brutal, Stalinesque paranoid. The usual convention is used - making the star a white character the audience can identify with. The screenwriter seemed to give a sly wink to that convention when one of Amin's enemies saves the protagonist and tells him to "Go back to your country and tell them about Amin - they'll listen to you - you're a white man." Pretty tame movie but it could help pass a lazy afternoon.

LOLA - you can see Fassbinder's Lola on youtube for free - full version. I've never seen anything by Fassbinder that wasn't interesting and unpredictable - Lola included. If you won't (or can't) read subtitles, don't bother. If you do, don't miss.

35 minutes into the total recall remake or reimagining or whatever the fuck it is


not liking so far
maybe it gets better

[cougarjake13]

Overall it was a decent movie

Not even close to being anything like the Arnold one but pretty good in its own right

pretty much what I thought, but I found it to be kind of unnecessary.

Take away the names of characters and the 3 tittied chick theres no similarities


Also in the the arnold one you felt like you couldn't tell if it was real or his recall memory


This one at no time for me felt like it was not reality and occasionally it felt like they said oh fuck lets throw this in here to make em think it may be just the dream but even then didnt have the desired effect

Nebraska

Was a fine movie, but I didn't get caught up in it. Really dragged in parts, wasn't particularly funny for most of the movie. Bruce Dern was great, though.

Only Philomena left to go for the Best Pictures.

Philadelphia (1993) - Tom Hanks plays a lawyer with AIDS who claims he was wrongfully terminated from the law firm he worked for. With the help from another lawyer, played by Denzel Washington, he sues his former employers.
This is one of those films that I really had no interest in ever watching. As I’ve gotten older, my film tastes have changed, so I finally got around to it. Glad I did. Hanks was excellent in this.

Enders Game Since I've never read the books this was a fresh story with no expectations, probably made it better for me, I liked it.
[/SPOILER]

Watched Enders Game last night and it was ok - I liked the concept and didn't expect the big reveal at the graduation simulation. BUT....it ended too quickly and left way too many plot holes left unfinished. I read that they were setting up for sequels but is was a huge flop that they shit canned them. so, ok movie with shitty ending = OK movie for me.

I always thought the ending of the book seemed super rushed. And you know the book is about to end because you only have 20 pages left and you're thinking "how the fuck are they going to get to an ending from here in 20 pages?" I think in a way that almost spoils itself when you're reading it.

Someone should write a book with 100 blank pages at the back and that way the ending will just wham you upside the fucking head. You'll never see it coming.

Read on kindle or such. Although that would give you the % thru the book, but if it counts the glossary you wouldn't know.

There are a lot of other reasons not to read a book on a kindle.


And actually knowing where you are in a book is usually a good thing, it gives you unconscious indicators on how to rate actions. For example if you're reading a story with a romance in it and the protagonist has a relationship with someone who is not the romantic focus of the conflict going you're going to view that relationship much differently at page 50 than at page 350. Page 50 it's an establishing factor on page 350 it's a threat.

Everything is just a variation on a few options, like I've said before a book is less about its plot points than almost anything else. But, with something like Ender's Game it becomes maybe a mitigating factor to know exactly when the book is ending especially if you're reading it for the first time outside of childhood. But it's a children's book after all.
