Kirrus Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 So, those hour or two or three media extravaganzas.. what was the last one you watched? Was it good? Did you like it? I'll go first. The Host (yes, really). It was actually not that bad, all things considered, and certainly one I'll be watching again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontogenesis Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I watched 'American Gangster' last night. It was ok - not sure it deserved the high ratings though - fairly standard gangster film in style and substance. One of those films where you know how it goes before it starts. Before that I tried 'Warm Bodies' (yes, really). This started pretty well, but rushed through the plot, glossed over the interesting bits and focused on the dull bits (for me at least). But I suppose that's what happens when it markets to teenage girls. Otherwise the story was interesting and original. Before THAT I watched 'Unforgiven', with Clint Eastwood in one his most awkwardly acted roles I've ever seen, slightly disappointed. Although depsite that it was fairly entertaining film to watch, wouldn't watch again though. And before that was 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' - one of my favourite films ever, introducing it to the new gf You should watch this if you've never seen it.

Pezi Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 The last movie I watched was "Catch Me If You Can" (2002) It's based on a true story, about this 16 year old con man who evades the feds for a good number of years.Actors include Tom Hanks and Leonardo Dicaprio. I advise all of you to watch it at least once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they were all like, "Hey dude, lets just ruin the film for everyone hurr durr.". But... They just sat there. That was the scariest moment of my life.

Rathlord Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 My recent new releases I've seen: Despicable Me 2, Monsters University- I group these together because they were fairly similar both in quality and audience. Had an enjoyable time in both, thought they both fell a bit short of their origins, but overall both were a fun experience. The Lone Ranger- I actually disagreed with a lot of people that this movie was inherently bad. I thought it was very derivative (and not of The Lone Ranger) and I felt it truly missed the entire ideology behind the original, but regardless of those less relevant points I thought it was an entertaining watch and worth the money I paid to see it. Man Of Steel- For me this was the real shocker of this movie season. I should start by saying I love comics but I truly despise what has been done with Superman in the past decade; but this movie was incredibly. If you haven't seen it, buy the DVD you will not be disappointed. It really brought back the old feel of Superman and managed to be a fantastic movie on its own merit at the same time. The biggest victory for me was having a more relatable villain than any other I've seen in the past 20 years. Really absolutely a shining gem amongst some really horrible movie adaptations of comics. The last not-new movie I watched was Jackass which... well. Ya. It's Jackass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mendonca Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Watched Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.Really enjoyable watch (how can it not be, with that cast?), but I'll be fucked if I can tell you what the point of it all was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k12314 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I recently watched The Heat... It was fucking hilarious. I don't like how they tried to make light of killing side-characters. They only killed two side characters for the sake of the humor along with plot, but both were rather... Brutal, and not that funny. One dude got his throat cut open while he was choking, the other exploded when he started a car engine. I winced both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zainox Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I watched The Garden Of Words, which is a short anime film. I thought this was fantastic. The animation was amazing, the story was sad but enjoyable. I love how they manage to make it feel real and casual between the two. Loved it!

Addy Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I watched The Howling, which is a 80s Werewolf-flick that had some horrible effects but was quite good all in all. I am a big fan of horror and terror movies and have recently started to watch older films i had not seen yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marinus Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 World War Z: Watched it in 3D, but I don't think it ads a lot to the movie. If you can get past the fact that they pretty much butchered the story it was based on, you're left with an entertaining film. nothing more, but certainly nothing less. 6/10 Warm bodies: I was afraid that it would do to zombies what twilight did to vampires, but I was pleasantly surprised. It gets away with itself because it doesn't take itself too seriously and is outright funny in places. Still I think they could have made more from the original idea. 7/10 The Ring 2: Boring Garbage 4/10 tries to implement elements of the original in a new and original story, and fails horribly. Act of Valor: The fact they used real navy seals for this.... thing, so the acting is pretty atrocious isn't its worst problem. . It's the cliche-ridden plot and the cardboard characters, that makes it torturously boring. Except for the moments that were supposed to be dramatic. Those were unintentionally funny. The action sequences and filming itself were decent to good, be it as predictable as the rest of the movie, but what was up with the FPS POV? 3/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixel Bombs Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I saw Wolverine about a week ago. It was pretty goofy, some scenes were neat but other than that it was riddled with "Wait what? How did he? What about the...?" and the big "reveal" had me in stitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zainox Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I saw the movie Oblivion the other day. I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise, but I really enjoyed this movie. It had a fairly indepth story which kept me intrigued and watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ontogenesis Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Watched 'God Bless America' last night. Bascially a cynical middle aged guy who gets diagnosed with a brain tumour starts to murder everyone who he thinks deserves to die, starting with a girl on that 'sweet 16' program... It's great. Introduction scene is here (warning, violent): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaXDaAsfHuc also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDnMNKzq_Lc Right cynical bastards film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
