AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I had the same American Sniper experience. Long line for a Friday matinee. Pretty crazy, but my old man wanted to see it. I thought the movie was good, not great. It was a little too sentimental at times for me, but it's hard for war movies to separate themselves. They just kinda all bleed together, and I didn't think this movie broke any new ground. In my opinion, not one of Clint's best works, although pretty solid all around. Has anyone seen Foxcatcher yet? Inherent Vice? Trying to go check those out next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inherent Vice? Trying to go check those out next week. I felt about the same. It was very good but not great. I didn't know the true story about Chris so it was all new to me. Still, there were several tough powerful scenes one after another. These are a little difficult for me to watch because t makes me reflect on two brothers who both served multiple Iraq tours. Its an extremely well made movie too so I can't fault Eastwood for anything. It just doesn't hit the peaks I was hoping for. Bradley Cooper delivers though. Great performance by him. Worth noting, the movie ends and no music plays during the credits. I have never heard a packed theater so quiet after a movie. Nobody said a word. It was eerily quiet, you could hear a pin drop even as we walked out of the theater into the lobby it was just whispers at most. I've never heard anything like it. The ending certainly makes an impact on you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Just got out of 'American Sniper.' May well right a review later. Two words : Oscar Winner! And I aren't ashamed to say I welled up at the end with Kyles funeral precession. True American hero right there. Clint's nailed another one. Hail.

Chew Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) A Long way Down. A dark, yet feel good comedy about four people who were all going to commit suicide. Pierce Brosnan, toni Collette, Imogen Poots, and some dude I recognized but don't know his name. Had this one in my queue for nearly a year, finally watched it. Toni Collette might be my favorite actress alive right now. Dark, depressing, and sometimes a little cliché, but I thought it was great. Pierce was his usual charming self, and Imogen was a spoiled, emo brat. Toni did the most acting in my opinion, and stole the show. 7.5/10.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The Gambler - I love gambling and Wahlberg so I was excited about this. It wasn't anything special unfortunately but it was a decent way to spend a couple hours. I was hoping for something profound or meaningful and I think some intent might have been there but it didn't come across that well. Still, it was entertaining.

Fan since a Fetus Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) These are both streaming on Netflix:The Retrieval: I am not normally into Civil War/slavery movies and this one is probably not historically accurate, but it was very very enjoyable. In fact, I loved it. To make it short, it is about a young black man and a black bounty hunter that get paid to bring and trick other black folk into being sold. I won't say anymore than that. Not a fast movie, slow, methodical, and will illicit emotions.9.0/10 - My only complaint was at times it was hard to understand what the actors were saying. But, the actors themselves did a wonderful job. The One I Love: This is a weird movie even though the description doesn't sound out there. It is about a couple who are having marriage problems and are sent away to a retreat to over come them. I can't say more than that or you will know too much. It is definitely worth watching, however, you will have tons of questions at the end. Questions that you won't be able to answer. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It is not nice and tidy, but the overall premise is different in my opinion. 7.5/10 - Only so low because too many questions were left over, but it is enjoyable.

HogNose Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) A Walk Among the Tombstones Better than I expected and it felt like a throwback to the Bronson films of the 70's...Death Wish mixed with Dirty Harry. Worth a rental, not bad. Edited January 22, 2015 by HogNose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Saw Godzilla, it was on HBO the other night. (spoiler below) 7/10. Thought there should have been more Godzilla focussed instead of the people and the MUTOs. And Heisenberg dying early ticked me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonniey Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Just watched White House Down. That was awful (worst movie I've seen since Red Tails). Left wing's notions of who the real bad guys are in the world manifested themselves quit nicely in this script. Additionally know what happens when an RPG hits the front armor of an M1 tank? In real life the crew would say "what was that, is someone knocking on the hatch" -in this movie of course the Tank gets blown to pieces.

Springfield Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Watched American Sniper over the weekend. An amazingly directed and acted film that takes a hard look into the life of a seal who sees many tours in Iraq. Quite a moving piece of work. Recommend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Belle. Wonderful film, really enjoyed it. Tom wilkinson, Tom Felton (Malfoy from Harry Potter), and a young black actress I've never heard of, Gugu Mbatha-Raw. SHE IS ABSOLUTELY one of the most beautiful women I've ever laid eyes on. "Belle tells a true story only lately becoming better known in Britain and remarkable in its details: An illegitimate biracial child, Dido Elizabeth Belle, born to a British admiral and a former slave he loved, is brought up as an orphaned, beloved member of her father's aristocratic family in 1770s Jane Austen-era England. She is so beloved she is painted as an equal with her white sister/cousin, in marked contrast to the usual subservient poses of black people in paintings of the era." 8.5/10. well acted, good pacing, interesting story. Very good movie. Edited February 5, 2015 by Chew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The Interview. It's streaming on Netflix for free already. I liked it, it's exactly what I expected, I like Seth Rogan and James Franco. It's silly/crazy/vulgar comedy, which I like from time to time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
