nitetrain8601 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 21, 2013 -> 09:06 AM) One of my students here in China said that was their new favorite movie (Now You See Me)....they really enjoyed the feeling they got from watching it. While some would side with The Prestige or Illusionist, the group dynamic and the more modern-day feel of Now You See Me was really appealing to a lot of moviegoers. It struck a chord, that whole 99% vs. 1% thing I guess. It had great acting, a great plot, the right amount of twists, and then a very satisfying ending for me. I have it easily in my top 10 movies of 2013. Actually, probably top 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/20/showbiz/movi....html?c=showbiz Interesting discussion topic. Basically this director is pissed that his teen comedy film "GBF" is getting a rated R from the MPAA when it has no F bombs, violence and nude scenes but films like The Dark Knight Rises get PG13 ratings while they contain swearing and violence.

A 50 year old man. Yeah it was slow and I found myself bored throughout most of the movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the last 30 minutes were really good but it was just slow leading up to it. Wasn't quite sure what exactly they were trying to do most of the time.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) For those like me who watch most of their movies online, we are now at the point of the year where new movies to theaters will be put online because of the award consideration DVDs being floated around. I am talking high quality DVD-rips, not those awful camera recordings in an actual theater. For instance, Out of the Furnace and Gravity are online now. Hoping a bunch others will be soon too.

Yeah, I saw the Out of the Furnace one up for awards consideration (and won't draw any interest from the Academy). Really looking forward to Nebraska and Short Term 12, though, among many. Philomena would be another one. Going on a Top 100 movies run to catch some of the ones I've never seen... Raging Bull Vertigo....love Jimmy Stewart, although Rear Window is better IMO Lawrence of Arabia...excellent albeit long movie, RIP Peter O'Toole The Searchers...one of the best John Wayne movies, maybe not quite so famous as True Grit Edited December 23, 2013 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Saw American Hustle in the theater this weekend and We Are What We Are at home. American Hustle was pretty entertaining although I was expecting a bit more from it. 8 out of 10. We Are What We Are was a beautifully shot horror flick. One of the better horror films I've seen in some time although some people will likely find it a bit slow paced. 7 out of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I am going to attempt Out of the Furnace for the 3rd night tonight, but I've got to say, it's pretty boring and it's hard to understand the accents. I'm probably 2/3s of the way through and I don't know a single characters name and just enough about the story to understand the motives.

Rowand44 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 American Hustle was very slow. I liked the story and the music but I felt like I was in the theatre forever, slow, slow movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Family theater movie this Xmas was Saving Mr. Banks. Was a really good movie. Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson (I think?) were really great in it. Supporting cast of Colin Ferrell (had no idea he was in it) and Paul Giamatti (sp?) were great too. I didn't expect the movie to be so emotional, but it was a real good one. I had no idea of the story behind Mary Poppins, especially that it was not only NOT supposed to be a musical, but the woman who wrote the book didn't write any of the songs for it either. All I remember about Mary Poppins is the songs. Really good movie, but if you are a crier, you will definitely cry. I managed to hold back, but I took a few deep breaths during it.

Really? She was the worst aspect of the movie. I think she's terribly overrated as an actor. She grated on me whenever she showed up on screen with her awful attempt at a Jersey accent.
