Leonard Zelig Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 4, 2015 -> 01:06 PM) If you want a movie that is an absolute waste of two hours, check out snowpiercer. I can't even explain how bad it was. I had heard good things so I had high expectations. I did not waste 2 hours though, I turned it off less than 50 minutes in.

It's an old story that's been told over and over in FAR better ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like it was trying to take the general idea of revolution of the poor and downtrodden from like a Hunger Games or Divergent, and then added the ending from Wall-E where the stupid humans stumble into the waiting earth.

juddling Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Saw The Man from Uncle this weekend. I liked it a lot. great setup for a sequel but i believe it didn't do very well so I will assume that won't happen. The couple (or three) of hot women in there weren't bad either....

The Critic Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 06:32 AM) Watched Birdman last night. It was boring and pointless. I don't get why it was so lauded by critics and won awards. It was one of the dullest and most uninteresting films that I've ever watched. 1.5 stars out of 5. Very interesting cinematography, well-acted, but the story was kind of crap. I'd probably go 2.5 stars out of 5, but it was pretty disappointing. I like Keaton a lot, so I was really excited to see it.....until I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ending wasn't worth the foreshadowing and story. i remember i was praising this movie when it came out. well, everyone does have opinions and have a every right to it. at first i didn't know what to expect.... but i like it. i remember the late 50's black and white movies that had orson wells and burt lancaster. they were hard to get use to them, but it was great moving making.... this was just one of those movies just like glengarry glen ross. that movie was rough to watch.... but it was a great movie. a movie that is a 1 time movie. .... so the questions is expectations of the fans and a criteria for movies.

Boopa1219 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Saw Carol at the film festival office and it's the best movie that I have seen so far. And people that I know have both confirmed and debunked the Nolan/Akira rumor. And he's not going to direct Akira, he's going to shepard it like he did Man Of Steel.

Jenksismyhero Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Late to the party as usual with movies, but I just finished Mad Max: Fury Road. Great movie, awesome action, blah blah, all the usual accolades. Here's a question though: if the main bad guy is hoarding his wives/trophies, and all of his soldiers are boys, why is Charlize Theron's character a lieutenant in his army? And why is she given control over his greatest war machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 My buddy said Black Mass is ok. Good acting but becomes just scenes of violence with no substance. It's what I was afraid of.mwas hoping it'd be structured like Goodfellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, that was one of the best movies I've seen in a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I saw both Sicario and Pawn Sacrifice today I was reminded that Tobey Maguire could act, and the cinematography is really good just like every movie shot by Bradford Young (Who is a young, black cinematographer who is being hailed as the next Roger Deakins. If you love movies, I suggest you look him up on youtube. His DP/40 interview is fantastic). However, all I could think as I watched was that the movie should've been directed by David Fincher, as his sensibilities really would've suited the material. Really solid movie. If I was a member of the Academy, I would give Sicario my vote for best picture hands down (Ex Machina a close second). Holy s*** was I at the edge of my seat the entire time. Roger Deakins might finally win his Oscar, as the whole film looked beautiful really fluid camera work. Benecio Del Toro should get some award buzz too, as will Emily Blunt, who has made herself into a major leading lady over the course of the past few years. I really like Denis Villeneuve as a director and the Blade Runner sequel couldn't be in better hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Anyone else watching Project Greenlight? The guy that won the contest is a dick but it makes great tv. One thing I'm it's him on is the look of film being better than the look of digital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
