bmags Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Saw the night before. Its exactly what you'd expect. Had lots of funny parts, had no real point to it being made. The only thing I found interesting is Joseph Gordon Leavitt was not very good in it. I think around looper it began a push that he was a new superstar. He was good in looper but I don't see any charisma in him. I don't think he could carry a weak script. He was incredibly annoying in this.

This movie tried to be a comedy and a drama at the same time, while not prioritizing one over the other and it failed it at both. Hugely disappointing.

knightni Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Watched Trainwreck last night. It was okay. I still don't like Amy Schumer, but I don't regret watching the movie. PS, I think if Cena and other guys have to get naked, so should she. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Brooklyn was excellent...as a few on here have mentioned already. A very quiet but poignant immigation tale with a great performance by Ronan. Last movie I saw her in was the spy film with Eric Bana and she was a blonde waif of a girl...quite the transformation.

caulfield12 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 4.25/5 The Room, haven't seen Spotlight yet, but one of the five best films of the year for sure 4/5 The Hateful Eight, not as good as Django Unchained, but very close...takes a lot longer to build to the action but then it packs a real wallop 3.75/5 Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 i just saw The Revenant with Leonardo DiCaprio, well the movie was kinda of base on a true character of the early mountain men, and the story of him and the bear is true. well, the acting was really good, hardly any dialect to the movie. i think a movie was made in the 60's like this. but well, if you can sit thru 2 1/2 hrs of acting with little dialect. it will be a good movie for you.

caulfield12 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Yeah....I just watched the first hour and forty-five minutes last night. Beautiful cinematography but more of a "B" or 3/4 star film...good/solid but not great by any stretch unless you particularly enjoy outdoor survivalist-themed stories.

I liked the preview of this and wouldn't mind seeing this movie eventually. I have to ask though.....did you mean to say there was hardly any dialect to the movie or did you mean to say hardly any dialouge????

Kalapse Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 The Hateful Eight is basically a Tarantino directed version of Clue set in 1800's Wyoming. That said, I enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hateful Eight did feel about 30 minutes too long. The Revenant is in the same territory, 2:30-2:45 in length. I guess the economics argument is more return for your ticket investment, haha...on the other hand, the opportunity cost of something else you could have done with your life for another 30-45 minutes has to be worth something as well. CLUE is a good description, like an old fashioned murder mystery. Fwiw, the presence of Channing Tatum and his strange accent in that film was a bit jarring. Maybe it's because Tarantino used a lot of his favorites like Jackson, Russell, Madsen and Roth, but that casting just didn't seem to fit very well. It's almost like Channing Tatum always wanted to be in a Tarantino movie, so they sort of shoehorned him into the story when he had a break in his schedule.

There was a point, maybe with 40 minutes to go that things turned a bit and I checked the time but it picked up again after that. The length wasn't a big issue for me, it moves pretty well.
