Personally I would have stood back and let Luttrel kill those guys .Probably even would have smiled when he did it.
Exodus: Gods and Kings
I fell asleep and Bale is no Heston. :(
(As critical as I can get right now, but I do remember the Red Sea parted before I nodded off.) :alien:
I've only seen the preview for that, but could not get over how oddly cast Bale was for the part. Thought it was a parody/fan-made video at first. True story.Quote:

PS- My tight PM box is quivering with anticipation of your delivery.
Monsters: Dark Continent ...I had high hopes for this sequel, some great shots at first, but it went to shit fast... and stayed there in some incomprehensible nonsense that was ended with a scream. (It took me a second or two to know whether it came from me or this film.) :blink:
Fan's of the first... do yourself a favor and save a couple of hours... (wish I did)...and know it could have been done much, much better. :dry:
"Good Kill" as the name aptly applies your imagination may run to other blatant war or violent movies. Slow but endearing as many subplots including, but not limited to, mans inhumanity to man, lethal technology present today, moral dilemmas and a love story.
Ethan Hawke stars... half decent acting abounds. Las Vegas / Afghanistan (simulated) location cinematography provides sharp contrasts in this modern tale.
WARNING: If your against the use of drone (unmanned) aircraft in a war scenario DON'T watch this film. If you belive there are real cold idiots in that alphabet soup we call "The Government" DO watch it and always remember it's just a movie. (Watching the last 5 minutes of the film may explain the fiirst 93 minutes)
They banned this movie In some countries , because they casted white people wearing make-up , instead of real tanned white people.Quote:

Well if Moses didn't bring the message to the pharos , to let the Hebrews go , and talk to G-D , and give the people the all mighty way to live life. Who would do it??Quote:

I get the value as presented narratively from the Bible, I just thought it was expressed poorly in the show. Non-believers lacking convictions, depending on special effects to carry the story along just didn't work. Go figure. :idunno:
It is because you have probably watched the Charlton Heston narrative of the Ten Commandments multiple times over the years. True or not , embellished or not, it just seemed to stick in your head , no matter what race or nationality. The story just seemed to flow better. Being the 3 attempts to narrate what happened in history (first attempt to film was 1923) , the 2nd version just seems to stick in your mind.Quote:

Just watched Spy. It's a comedy so don't expect any best picture awards anytime soon but for a comedy it's quite well done. It has a lot of great moments and as expected, Melissa McCarthy is amazing and is the driving force behind why this movie is so great. I was also very pleasantly surprised by Jason Statham, whom I have not watched any movies of (for good reason I think) but was hilarious in this movie. And adding a cherry to the top of an already good movie, while the inevitable girl power feminism is there, it is pretty subtle and not nearly as cringeworthy or preachy as some others coughsupergirlpilotcough. A great light hearted comedy and definitely worth a watch. And even if you didn't like it you get to see Rose Byrne in some cute outfits for 2 hours. What's not to love? I'll give it an 8/10.
Tough premise here. :mellow:Quote:

My caveat is that I have a different set of standards for comedies. You aren't going to find Bryan Cranston or Matthew McConaughey level acting here, but for a comedy Melissa McCarthy and Jason Statham do quite well.Quote:

Looks like this thread keeps dying. I'll give it a kick.
Kung Fury (2015)
If you went through the 80s, like dinosaurs, or dig kung fu, this is your movie. It goes right past tongue, and puts a full sized erection to the cheek. It's a short film, and the entirety of the glorious ~30 min is watchable on youtube. Includes puns
I give it 1985 out of 2015 gas giants.

It was sporadically really, really enjoyable as it had the 80's stuff skewered to a tee but other than that it was like one of those Saturday Night Live one premise skits and goes on too long to be able to sustain the joke.
Would have been much better at 20 minutes.
Damn, I've had the same critique given to me in the bedroom... :sadwalk:Quote:

It probably could have benefited from some tighter editing as 125 minutes seems long considering not a lot was happening most of the time.That and in my opinion the ending fell a little flat most likely because we all seen it many times before and better.
Still not sure if Gyllenhaal was actually good or not as most of his lines consisted of mumbling and swearing .
Good soundtrack though.
Out of ten I give it a C+.
I saw it last night, too. I had increased expectations after the first 20 minutes, then it ventured into a lot a bad things happening to him quickly (implausibly, IMO) followed by tedious pacing, and I fell asleep through most of the ending, but I got the montage.
Using a letter grade system, I give it a 4.5
I watched The Gift a couple days ago and liked it quite a bit. I came in to it expecting it to be rather predictable based on the trailer but it caught me off guard quite a few times and I genuinely didn't have any good theories on how the movie would it end until it, well, ended. (As for the ending, I don't think he did it.)
The primary complaint of the people who watched it with me was that there wasn't anyone in the movie who was really likable and that the characters were all kind of assholes which turned them off from the movie. It's a fair observation, but I don't really think it's essential to have likable character to make a good movie. I thought Breaking Bad was easily one of the best shows ever made and I didn't feel like any of the (main) characters were particularly likable.
Overall it had solid pacing, wasn't too predictable, and was pretty enjoyable throughout. It also nailed the creepy/awkward tone perfectly to keep you on the edge of your seat. I'd give it an 8.5.
Jason Bateman also plays an amazing asshole. I haven't seen any of his other stuff outside of Arrested Development, but I think it's a typecast he can do pretty well.
Thanks Rart, I'll watch that as soon as someone uploads a quality stolen copy.Quote:

I briefly toyed with the idea of watching it because, tits but then sense kicked in when I remembered that it was directed by Eli Roth.Quote:

I saw this one last night.
I'm a fan of Eli Roth, but I have to say, this movie is pretty much a pile of steaming crap.
When I first saw the trailer, I thought it looked like it might be semi-interesting, coming from the same guy that was responsible for Hostel & Cabin Fever (I'm somewhat of a horror fan) but this movie isn't close to being in the same class. Poorly executed all around, in my opinion, and even though the story line isn't anything new, I think it could have been a decent movie with a different director & maybe a different male lead. I can't say the 2 female antagonists where much better though...They were so annoying I was hoping they'd get killed off about 20 minutes into the movie.
Ive never kidded myself into believing that Keanu Reeves is any kind of great actor, but most of his movies are at least entertaining. I'd place his performance in this a few steps below any bad performance that Nick Cage has ever done....And that's saying something. The scene where he's tied to the chair & the girls are "torturing" him by playing loud music through headphones is pathetically bad, bordering on excruciatingly painful. (To the viewer, not Reeves) It doesn't help that through most of the movie, he sounds like he's reading all his lines off cue cards either.
I read several reviews of it on IMDB, and a few people on there were saying that the many people that didn't like it just "didn't get it", and that it was supposed to be sort of a "Dark Comedy & intentionally amusing" in places. I don't believe this myself... Not that it's not amusing in places, because it is. But I don't think it's intentional. And if it is, I don't think I found it amusing in the way that the director intended. It was amusing in a "I can't believe it's this bad" kind of way...
Are you positive that you're not simply insane because otherwise I'm not sure that's possible.Quote:

Also, goddammit I didn't see that someone already mentioned this film. I didn't think enough people still posted here to bother reading through the previous comments. How observant of me...
This movie, Blind, found a strange, concerted frequency in me. I initially started to watch it as if I'm about to embark on a horror adventure; going blind is about one of the scariest things I can imagine. However, the imagination of the main character would play out in a manner where the borders of daydreaming and reality aren't always distinct. I have never seen that depicted in a movie in quite this manner because this was so eerily similar to how my own mind plays out scenarios. I hate the dream sequence trope found in other movies/shows because... well... that fucking soft lens and cheesy music shit. This felt much more accurate. I really have no critique about the movie. This one aspect just left an impression on me, and it was one where there was no expectation to arrive at some conclusion.
Just, hmmm
Blind and in a language I don't understand.So how'd it smell?
white, or maybe off whiteQuote:
