    It's pulling in an abysmal 32% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's a special kind of bad... and it's sad, cuz it has some serious talent tied to it. I definitely remember being excited about it. Oh well.

    It's a pitty because Sean Penn was quite entertaining. A bit of a mindfuck even the way he acted so DeNiro-like.

    Yay, Sean Penn always puts his back into it. I don't think I've ever seen him not give his best.
    Gangster Squad looks fantastic: Emma Stone, Nick Nolte, Sean Penn! What could possibly go wrong?

    Mainly Josh Brolin and the writers went wrong. But indeed on paper it had potential.

    I guess it wasn't awful, but what really bothers me is that kind of used-to-be-butch-but-has-settled-down-with-wife-and-kid-and-the-neighbors-like-him-because-he's-just-a-great-dude - character that they shoehorn into every single B-production lately. I guess they want everybody to be able to identify, but in the end nobody can identify with him because nobody that bland exists in the real world. And on top of that they forget that in this particular movie that-guy-that-makes-faceless-dude-from-hellraiser-look-like-a-three-dimensional-character is supposed to shoot his own dumb son right in his stupid face according to the script, and when they get to it, it makes sense to absolutely noone, least of all the actor which was painfully obvious.
    I would have rather seen this as a true b-production with more artistic freedom instead of $18M spent on shitty CGI and the marketing department right up the directors ass.

    did they just show the entire movie in the trailer? It looks very very watchable, but seriously, I feel like I have no reason to watch it anymore...

    RT seems to hate Sean Penn:

    I don't even feel like I have to defend this movie. You could say that the direction was slightly off, but given the performance by the main cast, they could have shot this with a cell phone and it would still be a 9 out of 10.

    Hangover 3

    Considerably more enjoyable than hangover 2, not as good as the original hangover.

    Really enjoyed Man of Steel today, great sound track too. Bit of a glut of action which wasn't always necessary but the effects were really well done and enjoyed the story even though I really didn't know anything about Superman before I watched it

    The secret life of Walter mitty is a great little movie, inspiring in a weird kinda way, kinda odd but rather enjoyable.

    I think the books are supposed to be good. It's a trilogy I think. The movie will be child friendly though which will prob spoil it a bit.

    Haven't made lists in a while so let's go. (omitting the obvious)

    Brazil
    Alphaville
    Solaris
    Dark City
    Wild Blue Yonder
    City of lost children
    eXistenZ
    A Clockwerk Orange
    District 9
    I'll add The 7th Seal, which isn't sci-fi but it feels sci-fi to me and it's one of the few classics that isn't actually shit
    And Uzumaki because it's totally worth watching and kind of sci fi.
    Alright, starting to grasp at straws here.

    I would agree with all of this. Well, except, I'm pretty sure that I also like it, it's not definitive for me yet. I went with friends who were all instantly "Oh my god I loved it." And that made me even more cynical about it. It's impressive film-making for lots of reasons, but I feel like I need to see it again, maybe twice, before I can decide whether or not I think it's a great movie. There was too much random shit that was distracting and I couldn't tell if it was setting a mood or just distracting...

    A few days ago I saw "The Imitation Game". Liked it a lot, and it's actually based on a true story (just based on it, some things in the movie didn't actually happened and others were changed, but the main story and some key events are real).

    For those who enjoyed Mad Max Trilogy, you will most certainly enjoy the new one.

    It has a ton of action. Watched it yesterday in 3D.

    I watched it again yesterday. Still really enjoyed it. It's done incredibly well. It's almost like a modern period drama in terms of how it sets a scene and transforms you to a world that doesn't exist any more. The characters are fantastic with the only week point being Owen Wilson, who isn't terrible, it's just he's still Owen Wilson, and contrasted with say Joachim Phoenix who does a wonderful job in creating an interesting and believable character that is nothing like I've seen him before, it makes Wilson's character stand out a bit.

    You're definitely right about the random shit being distracting, but it's only distracting from the story and makes what is actually a pretty simple story seem really complicated, but it adds a huge amount to the overall feel of the film and that's one of it's finest qualities. It makes us see the world through the bleary eyes of a smart inquisitive guy who is wasted all the time and himself experiencing all these distractions as he tries to get to grips with what's going on.

    Some of the side characters add an immense amount of value, for example the dentist and the Asian pussy eater chick. While their purpose is to move the story on and link one weird discovery of a piece of information with the next, they're all either interesting or sexy enough to be enjoyable to watch. That said, big foot and doc steel the show with great performances and make the movie worth watching all on their own.

    But what I love about it the most is the way it drags on this weird and wonderful adventure in a different time they maybe existed once, but any period seems differnet when viewed from a different person's perspective, and we very much see it from the perspective of a cool, popular guy who likes to get high and is very much a part of that groovy scene.

    Mad max was sop awesome. The feminism had me chuckle (didn't really bother me), but damn, that action! Whole movie was basically one sick car ride.
  42. #717
    Yeah, I'll co-sign that.

    The movie is even more impressive because so much of it is clearly live action, instead of jammed packed with CGI warble garble.

    I like Neil Blomkamp a lot. He's a great writer, he has a great artistic vision, but I think he's a mediocre director. What I'm waiting for is a movie with him as writer/producer and someone who can work with actors.

    KUNG FURY was a pleasant surprise. These kickstarter movies are going places. Iron Sky was worth watching and this one is truly unique.

    I enjoyed Jupiter Ascending starring Mila Kunis. Has two brothers that have a heavy case of sibling rivalry. And the characters are pretty wealthy, some owning planets. In one scene Mila Kunis is surrounded by hives of flying bees that refuse to sting her.

    Anyone seen parallels? I think it was originally I pilot for a TV show that didn't make it and got turned into a movie. It needs to be a TV show, so much potential.

    Ex Machina was really good.
    Also really enjoyed Interstellar.
    And yeah, Mad Max was solid, but feel like it's the kind of movie that would be 100x better in the theater, so go see it now.
  52. #727
    If you haven't seen Ex Machina yet and the concept of AI is at least semi-interesting to you, get on that son. Like right now.

    So I recently thought up a mechanic, and I'm curious if theres a good movie or show that does it well.

    I guess you could describe it as an easter egg for people that know what they're talking about. For example, the movie Rocky I. There he eats lots of raw eggs; I think it'd be neat if the director subtly put in a scene or two of Rocky getting sick because of the eggs...and maybe even alluding to this being the reason he lost the fight. I want the subtlety though, keep all the fanfare, keep the epic montage music and the confidence we have in the character, but also show him doing something wrong and paying for it in some way...even though he and the narrator have no idea the two are related.

    Other examples: In "My Cousin Vinny", include a copy of the Alabama Criminal Code somewhere hard to spot, that says something like "if the Prosecutor does x, case dismissed". But the audience doesnt see it, Vinny doesn't see it, and while he wins anyway...the whole thing coulda been different.

    I wanna see them being imperfect, see them punished for it, but not have it be a centerpoint of the story and not have the character even be aware of his own imperfection.

    I am suddenly and voraciously eager to hear an answer to this question.

    EDIT: Also, screw Netflix for not having "My Cousin Vinny."

    If you can figure out the name of that trope, its page on tvtropes.org will have a list of the most well known films with examples of it.

    Jurassic World is as good as Jurassic Park. Pretty awesome pteradactyl scene, several pteradactyls taking out a lady, like a bunch of piranhas on a bone.

    I saw Jurrassic World twice.

    First time: OmG amazing movie, best of the year, even better than Mad max, wtf how you make movies this damn good, I think my eyeballs exploded.

    Second Time: Meh.

    I think I feel this way because the story itself is meh, so once the action parts are known...it is nowhere near as thrilling/suspensful whatever.

    But still, everyone should see it the first time.

    I'm happy that people are loving that Jurassic World movie, but it looks super, super, super lame and dumb.

    I'm hitting that new Pixar joint.

    edit had to rewatch the trailer to remind myself why: Genetically engeineered hybrid ultramonster versus me on a motorcycle flanked by my trained velociraptors. Yeah.

    Its not as bad as it seems. And at minimum, it's a solid monster movie.
  64. #739
    Jurassic World is fucking awful. It's a decent attempt at a "bad" monster movie, but it didn't seem like that's what they were trying to make. As an attempt to make a good movie it's terrible. It's a never-ending sequence of every character making the worst possible decision for no real reason whatsoever.
    So you click their picture and then you get their money?

    Didn't think JW was that bad but I might be biased because the movie theater was nice and I was eating an awesome steak sandwich.

    Yeah, Inside Out was fantastic. Great movie to take your kids to and have a conversation about emotions. Brought the feels big time. Hell, even the short at the beginning had me all dusty. Of course, I'm a just a highly sensitive person when it comes to all sorts of emotional things. I highly recommend the movie.
    So you click their picture and then you get their money?

    Just saw Love and Mercy. Story about Brian Wilson (lead man and brain behind the beach boys) and his struggle with mental illness. It was brilliant with fine acting and beach boys music. What else could you want?

    Sunshine
    Bladerunner
    A.I Artificial Intelligence (I recognize most people didn't like this movie but I loved the tone)
    Serenity
    Gattaca
    Snowpiercer
    Children of Men
    Clockwork Orange (super nsfw)
    Primer
    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
    Donnie Darko
    Contact
    Interstellar

    I'm sure you've seen a bunch of these but should get you started.
