Spaceman Spiff Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The Avengers. Blah. I felt like I'd watched the first one all over again. It was so formulaic. Starting off with happy times, a big bad enemy comes along and there's some strife, they fight amongst themselves and then band together to beat him in the end. I'll be surprised if the third one (assuming they're making a third) veers from that path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Watched Nightcrawler. Man, Gyllenhaal's character neded a severe beatdown. Severe. I wanted to enjoy that movie so much. Seemed like a really good one. Unfortunately I spent all of it hoping that someone would bash his head in with a blunt instrument 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I spent all of it hoping that someone would bash his head in with a blunt instrument I think his character would be perfect for the character in Gone Girl. The two seem made for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Complete Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Just saw Mad Max Fury Road a second time. Might need to see it a 3rd while I still can. Awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Inside Out (Disclaimer, I am a big kid at heart. I like interacting with children, playing with them, and teaching them so... yeah. ) Please here me when I say this... If you weren't thinking about seeing Inside Out, you should punch yourself in the face. This movie had one of the most creative plots I've EVER seen. When I saw the previews, I knew I wanted to see it. Last night, it exceeded my expectations man.I agree with Burgold and Rdskns2000. I think the movie was very kiddie, and cute, but at the same time, the plot was something that could easily capture older kids and adults. I tend to grade family type movies more harsher than other movies because I think it should be movies that can entertain everybody one way or another. So I give Inside Out a solid A man. A very solid A. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Inside Out - just got back from taking Tazette and the wife to see it. - Definitely an A. Pretty close to an A+ as far as family movies go. MLS summed it up spot on. Very creative and kept your attention throughout the entire movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) The Woman in Gold. I liked this one. I remember Altmann's restitution case against Austria but it was neat seeing the entire process play out. Now obviously they added a lot of drama that wasn't really necessary, and using the flashbacks made sense to explains things but broke up the flow of the present day story. But I had a good time watching this movie. Helen Mirren is one of my faves and she and Ryan Reynolds worked well together on screen. Give it a B.

Destino Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Watched Noah on Netflix. I wasn't expecting a bad fantasy movie complete with swords and rock monsters. Almost unbelievably bad. So bad it's funny, but not the good kind of funny, the "someone really funded this ****" kind of laughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Predestination. Holy **** that was a total mind****. I heard this was a trippy movie, so I lit a doobie beforehand so I could totally zone out. If this movie wasn't so all over the place (even though things did come together), I'd give it an A. But ill go with a B+. Ethan was damn good and the story had me on edge the entire time. I was tripping BALLS off plot twists. Very fun movie to watch. Ethan is a time traveling badass.

PokerPacker Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Iron sky.. lol 6/10 How can NAZIs from space not immediately put it at 7.5/10 at a minimum? Imitation game was so good. Benedict needs to change his last name to CumberBEAST. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything he's done that I didn't like. Knightly was good too, but this film was all Benedict. **** Hitler. Strong A.Haven't seen it yet, but just picked it up yesterday. Related note, a few months ago, I had an interesting conversation with a professor who had worked with Alan Turing back in the day. He confirmed that Turing was, indeed, a genius.

sportjunkie07 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 How can NAZIs from space not immediately put it at 7.5/10 at a minimum?. I wanted to give it a higher rating but my inner film snob disagreed. Just not comparable to polished films. It's uniqueness really gave it some leeway though. The Downfall parody inmovie was pretty good to see. Also, the imitation game was a really good film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Jaws was on AMC last night. It's just too good, even to this day. I can't imagine what it would have been like to see it in theaters during release. Actually I can, probably the same as I felt seeing Jurassic Park. Still Jaws is an amazing film. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Domestic Disturbance - 2001 - Vince Vaughn, John Travolta, Teri Polo. I give it a C+/B-. About a man who is divorced with a teenage son (Travolta) and his ex-wife (Polo) starts dating some guy everyone loves (Vaughn). He starts getting concerned about the new boyfriend who is not what he appears to be. It's one of a dark, sinister side for Vince's roll and I thought he pulled it off very well in this movie. I am between ratings, cause I think its better than average on some aspects, then right at average on others. Once you get started, you pretty much know what to expect. It's currently streaming on Netflix, not a recommendation, but I wouldn't call it a bad watch on a weekend morning/afternoon if you don't have anything better to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 The Wolf of Wall Street - A+ Great movie, can't believe I didn't watch it sooner. Three hours long, but funny and kept you hooked throughout the entire movie. It's on Netflix right now, definitely recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaws was way better in it's day. When you leave Jurassic Park, you will never in your life fear being killed by a dinosaur. When you left Jaws, you were scared ****less for the rest of your life. No comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Saw Terminator: Genisys and it gets a C. It was okay but nothing special. It could've been a great movie. Well, next up is "Minions". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 If I stay. Ugh, another teenie bop romance story that's been done 1,000 times. Girl meets boy, girl kisses boy. girl loves boy. girl argues and breaks up with boy. Tragedy strikes. boy comes to the rescue. gtfohwtbs. Honestly though, I love Chloë Grace Moretz, she's my favorite actor or actress under 21. But even a pretty decent performance by her couldn't save this one. C-, and without Chloe, its a D. Stupid wife, this was her pic. That was two hours she could've been cleaning or making sandwiches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My man. Great flick, the Sweedish original "Let the Right One In" was even better (no snob). Chloe is a great young actress, better than Abigal Breslin, though I like her too.

88Comrade2000 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) I saw the Minions, twice this weekend. I'll give the movie a B+. If you love the Minions, you will like the origin story of those yellow little minions. If you are there just to take a kid, you will make it through, Kids should love this movie. There's something missing without Gru being the focus of the movie but the Minions definitely hold their own. The star of this movie is Minion Bob. Speaking of Mr. Despicable Gru, or Gru when he was a little kid; does make an appearance at the end of the movie. So, we see how the minions ended up with Gru.Despicable Me 3, due in 2017; can go in 2 directions now. Either, it will be a sequel to #2; probably seeing a little Gru or we can see how youn Gru grows up and becomes the Gru we know. Oh, there's a bonus scene after all the credits are done. I missed it the first time but when I saw it the second time, I stayed. Hardly, anyone left in the theater by then.

It's the assured reality of possibly coming face to face with a shark, in the wide open ocean that amplifies the fear effect of Jaws 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsluggo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I went to see Jurassic World-3D this weekend... kinda. I brought my daughters (13, 12 and 10) my 10 year old was SOOOOOOO psyched about going. loves dinosaurs.... and would have none of that crap once it started. once the action started we had to move to a seat by the door, because she kept on leaping up and SPRINTING down the entrance hallway and out to the light. I thought it was ll part of the fun for her, and that she was scared, but happy scared. but no, she was scared. eventually... when she was crying... i took her and snuck into the last 1/3 or 1/4 of Minions 3D (and left my other 2 daughters alone to keep the dinosaurs occupied). we came back in time to see the bad guy get munched ... and the bad dino get munched ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
