What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

Braveheart's a good ****ing movie doe. It's not like all Hollywood films are predetermined ****ty by default

Yup.

I feel like some movie buffs automatically think that if a movie has a huge budget, lots of advertising, high powered actors, and makes tons of money, then it sucks.
 
Just saw Fury today. I liked it quite a bit. Thought it was a bit heavy handed/over the top, but still enjoyed it.

Very gory and brutal

Sharing my opinions and trying to get a movie rec out of Vinylone since he posted like 20 movies he's seen recently and he's someone who's opinion I generally respect?

You're pretty observant. Congratulations.

Big screens are awesome, that way the explosions are extra ****ing impressive and you hardly notice the teenagers throwing lemonheads around, or the crying baby, or the bitch on her cell phone, or the $12 ticket price and the $9 popcorn. Yeah, who wouldn't want to endure all that to see a movie?

Yup. That's the usual experience at most movie theaters even here in LA. Thankfully, we also have a good amount of art house, smaller movie theatre chains like the Laemmle and places like the Arclight.

I hate kids.

Ain't nothing wrong with that. People like what they like and I'm glad there are all sorts of options for people.

There are some huge budget movies that are out of the ****ing world and deserve the praise they get.

Good on ya viny
 
Just saw Nightcrawler, didn't plan on seeing it but nothing was on (not a big fan of Hobbit or Hunger game).


Was alright, started out slow but got a bit more interesting in the middle. Watching the trailer before hand certainly didn't help.


I'd probably give it 8/10.
 
Gone Girl- there was 2 distinct parts, first part definitely stronger than the second. Felt like the second part throws out any rational thought and goes total bat**** crazy. Acting excellent, Rosamund Pike was great. Directing as you expect top notch, I was not a big fan of the story, felt like Fincher elevates the material as far as he can. 'It's Twincest'

Life Itself - growing up watching Siskel & Ebert on tv got me interested in what those guys were really like off screen, and this documentary really covers their relationship in depth. Very honest and comprehensive look into Ebert's life. Tough to watch his final days but he lived a hell of a life, well worth watching.
 
Had nothing to do yesterday so watched movie called "Would you rather" on Netflix. Very stupid and poorly executed sadistic movie. Don't waste your time on it.
 
I really want to see Inherent Vice badly

Theory of Everything- Redmayne is total convincing of Hawking(impressive physical acting) which makes it more the frustrating that they don't cover enough of his work and instead focus on his relationship with his wife which turns it into a bore fest at times. It's not necessarily a bad movie but at the end you just want to know more about the man himself.

Predestination- going in i knew very little about it other than it was from the directors who made daybreakers. when i realized it was going to be about time travel i thought the movie was going to be meh, but it turned out to be a pretty interesting movie, led by a stunning performance from actress Sarah Snook. one of those movies that makes you think and ask questions once it is over. it's far from perfect but well worth a watch.

Seeing Inherent Vice tomorrow morning... I am looking forward to it.

I think this movie is a bit of a departure for Mr. Anderson. I liked it but it was at times hard to follow and hard to understand. Mr. Phoenix slurred a lot in this movie and the dialogue, based in 1970's drug speak, was not easier to understand. But the acting was stellar, the shots were great and the sound was very alive...meaning, the production mixer did a great job capturing the scenes.

Im def going to watch it again with the subtitles.
 
Watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes yesterday.

I am much happier with the personality and emotions of Ceaser than I have been with any other version of this story. I am hoping the human male lead sticks around for the next one. Just for some continuity on the human side of it.
