yea the flow was a little off. the script was pretty good.
i’ve seen nearly every English speaking movie so I’ve gone onto Japanese movies now,
I watched a film called ‘death note’ the other day. V.interesting conceptually, it’s about a guy that finds a note pad, and whoever he writes in the pad will die. he watches the news and kills murders, theives, abducters. I find it interesting and stuff.
Was channel flipping the other day and Tropic Thunder was on HBO, so I watched because of this thread. Movie was mediocre, but Tom Cruise dancing through the closing credits was one of the funniest scenes I can remember.
Watched ‘The Witch’ the other day. Probably in my top 3 for horror films ever!
The script, story line, cinematogrpahy was incredible. It makes you think that stuff like did actually happen.
Interesting!! Try these movies. 1. Lagaan ( Oscar nomination) 2. Earth 3. The Lunchbox
Thanks!! I will take a look at these.
Why are Bollywood films so long? I don’t have the attention span for anything over 2 hours.
I watched Whiplash the other day. It’s ranked 45th best movie of all-time according to IMDB, so it caught my attention.
J.K. Simmons played one of the best heel (bad guy) characters in recent memory. He deserved some sort of award.
Watched two movies on the DVR this weekend: “San Andreas” and “Book of Eli”
San Andreas - The only reason I watched this is because I had turned it on midway through once before, and I saw some snippets of Alexandra Daddario bouncing and jiggling. As it turns out, that was the only good part of the movie. (Special effects were pretty cool, too.) Definitely wouldn’t watch it again.
Book of Eli - wouldn’t normally have watched this one, but shortly before it came on, I read the Wikipedia entry. Part of the entry says that Mila Kunis tries to seduce somebody, so I said, “Yes please.” It was an okay movie, but not something I’d be willing to sit through again, Mila Kunis or no.
^how was the seduction scene?
Have you seen Black Swan? Much like our very own Black Swan, it was intense, psychologically scary, and extremely sexy.
^I actually did not know who Mila Kunis was until after that movie. I had seen her in a couple of things, but she wasn’t really on the radar. She definitely was (on the radar) after Black Swan, though.
@BVG - the seduction scene was dumb. She walks into Denzel Washington’s room in a not-very-sexy nightgown, point-blank asks him if he wants a good time, and he says “no”. End of scene.
- on Whiplash.
Yeah, because of stupid and silly songs. Lagaan is a superb movie but you would need to just skip all songs. Has anyone watched Kamasutra?
Don’t bother wasting your time on it. Zack Snyder seems to have zero idea on how to build a story and the importance of character development. The dude got lucky with 300 and has tried to replicate the same formula everywhere completely messing up Watchmen and now this. It’s clunky, choppy, the action scenes give you a headache, the ‘feud’ b/w Batman and Superman comes to a halt in an absolutely ridiculous manner and Eisenberg’s portrayal of Luthor is just wrong. Wonderwoman is a saving grace but that’s about it.
Try Civil War if you’re into this genre, Black Panther and Spiderman kill it.
Wait, Death Note is now a movie? I’ve watched the 37? episode anime version and it is outstanding. Crazy concept. Check out Code Geass.
Watched “Vacation” (the one with Ed Helms & Christina Applegate) this weekend. It was funny. Not as good as the original, but worth watching once, if you can DVR it.
@Scatman - thanks for the .02. I think I’ll wait until it come to HBO to watch it. Doesn’t sound like it’s worth going to the theater for (as if I have a choice now.)
Saw Straight outta Compton on a flight - I enjoy rap occasionally and found it to be a very good movie with some surprising depth. wasn’t nearly as “hardcore” as i thought it would be.
How to be Single: some entertaining moments but can be boiled down as a weak coming-of-age movie.
No problemo 
Boss movie, right? The scene when the cops tell them to not sing that song and they go ahead and sing it anyway was so so good. Snoop Dog towards the end was hilarious.
I like good movies
