so, back to movies -
Interstellar. 10.8/11. go watch this. seriously. and if you've already seen it, go watch it again. soundtrack was mindbendingly awesome, score integration was completely gripping. acting was amazing. characters were phenomenal.
are you watching this yet?
Chappie. 7/10.
had the same feel as District 9. I guess that whole S.Africa thing had something to do with it. the movie had a chance to be great but I think they just took things a little to far and fubared the ending. plus better writing would have helped. some of the things they said... just wtf?!
Home 8/10
Took my nephew to see it in 3D today as a reward for improved behavior and improved grades. IMO the 3D was completely unneeded for this movie and was just a gimmick to make more money and the movie would have been rated no different had I saw the 2D version.
The movie itself was your typical Disney/Dreamworks movie. Had its funny moments and "Oh" had a lot of the same quirks as Sheldon Cooper, which is likely intentional. There was a pretty obvious foreshadowing (to me at least) in the movie that makes the end easy to guess, but all in all it was a good watchable movie that kids and adults can enjoy. I wouldn't put it up there with Monsters, Inc or Ice Age, but still definitely a good movie.
I liked it also, a little WTF? toward the end but great flick none the less
Guardians of the Galaxy 10/10
I don't give 10's, I honestly believe a 10 is only for a perfect master piece......and this movie pretty much delivered. It had it all though, awesome effects, very creative, and funny as hell! I would recommend it to anybody! I saw the previews and thought it looked stupid. No, it is f-ing funny as hell and extremely entertaining. It's a must see IMHO>
Avengers 2
8/10 A few things they did bugged me but it was still great fun. Ton of phrases that will end up repeated often.
F&F7
8/10 abit slow at the end but all in all good. Sad at the end with Walker :(
Avengers 2. 9.5/10
one cheesy moment. otherwise it was great and I was thoroughly entertained.
Mad Max: Fury Road. 8.5/10.
Lots of fun.
American Sniper - 7/10
Could have been better. I thought the character developement was lacking. It was more like bullet points of his experence. Kind of disapointed.
Kingsman - 7/10
Some funny as hell moments, some wtf moments that should have had more thought in them, and some epic action flic moments. Some of the satire, and wtf moments lost points for me.
A 7/10 from me is pretty f-ing good lol
I do want to see that movie, I thought it looked pretty good. I'm a bit more excited about it hearing it's a good flick.
Maybe if you go looking for it. I didn't.
IMO, the movie is a big game of cat-and-mouse which is very entertaining and visually captivating. Any such underlying themes flew right by my radar. Compared to Mad Max 1-3, it felt a bit too Hollywood and I think I can understand why Tom Hardy felt as if he owed George Miller an apology once he saw the final product. Still, not a bad way to be reintroduced.
I know you mentioned this before, but you say it with such contempt for Jackson. I think he was really good in the role -- not that someone else couldn't do it just as well, but he wasn't out of place. I'm just curious, do you think Django Unchained would have been the same movie without Samuel L.?
Jackson's lisp caught me off guard, lol. He did a good job in the role considering what the movie was reaching for. He could have had a few more punch lines to further expand on his goofy character.
Jackson is a good actor, but at this point, I'm not a fan anymore. Actually, it started back in Attack of the Clones--he had NO BUSINESS being in that movie. Since then, he's just been a feature of so many movies that it's I experience some form of cognative dissonance when I see him in many types of movies--especially those with established canon (like SW, Marvel, etc). I didn't have this problem with Unbreakable, Pulp Fiction or Long Kiss Goodnight. Jackie Brown was ok. It was just difficult for me to have him in that role--and it kept breaking my suspension of disbelief. It would have been less jarring to see Alec Baldwin doing a lisp in that role. The problem is--if I had to venture a guess--that Jackson is his own genre now, and putting him in other places really causes a loss of something to a movie that would otherwise be better. He was tolerable in Robocop--even though that movie was less than stellar.
I will say that I'm glad they didn't use Idris Elba or Don Cheadle. It's WAY below their talent level.
Jackson in the Marvel movies is the only casting that makes since.
Nick Fury in the ultimate Marvel universe has been modeled after him since 2002.
Samuel L. Jackson thanks Mark Millar - Business Insider
So you don't think Downy Jr. is a good Tony Stark????
Nick Fury? They could have put anyone in that role. Michael Jai White would have been fine in that role. Mr. T would have been fine in that role. Tom Fucking Hardy would have been fine in that role. Don't get me wrong, Jackson isn't bad in the role, but his "Jackson Genre" really throws me for a loop seeing him in there.
P.S.
Django Unchained was pretty fucking good. I hated his character (that was the point), but it wasn't a bad portrayal. Black Snake Moan wasn't bad either. I can tolerate Nick Fury. It's really Mace Windu that pissed me off more than anything--and everything since has been tempered with that epic casting failure on the part of Lucas. He should have asked Sidney Poitier or at the very least, Morgan Freeman. My GOD Jackson was bad in that role.
Downy Jr was born to play Tony Stark. he's the perfect personification of that character. he made me want to be Tony Stark even more. :lol:
Brilliant casting.
Why cast someone other than the guy the character if based on?
This is from the comics in 2002

Hate that douche canoe...
John Wick 9.8/10
OK, I know I am a little behind, but I'm a procrastinator so sue me. LOL I actually bought the Blu-Ray the day it came out and just finally watched it the other day. Absolute love for this movie. Right up there with my love for Boondock Saints. Keanu Reeves knocked the role of Wick out of the ballpark. The music really made the movie too.
To tell you how much I enjoyed the movie, after I watched the movie from beginning to the end of the credits I spent another hour watching the special features.
Told you you would like it. A good way to get obliterated would be take a drink every time he shot someone in the face
Run All Night
7-10. pretty good but nothing amazing. pretty much exactly what I expected.
Lava. 3/10.
The newest short accompanying Pixar's Inside Out. It is visually appealing and some of the rhyme-song was clever but on the whole, pretty lame.
Inside Out. 8/10.
The new installment to Pixar's creations, Inside Out takes an interesting avenue to explain the goings-on in the mind and emotion center of an 11-year-old girl. I think there are a slew of better Pixar films but this one isn't bad by any means. If you're going to give it a chance in public, be warned: it definitely aims at the feels.
The Avengers -8.5/10
Great action packed movie with humor. Pretty cool to see so many superheroes at one time/place
Tomorrowland 7.5-10
Pretty good movie. great special effects and the acting was solid. it just moved a little slow for me but it was very interesting none the less. I went in knowing nothing of what the movie was about. I only saw a couple of short trailers and thought, "oh bright lights and pretty colors.". I kinda like going into movies not knowing what to expect. I did this with Dallas Buyers Club and American Hustle. I think it made them more enjoyable.
Gone Girl 8.9-10
as if I didn't need another reason to never get married. :lol: I thought the story was awesome and the acting was spot on. the broad that played Alfeck's sister was particularly good imo.
The Theory of Everything. 8/10.
It played a lot like "My Left Foot", the Christy Brown story, in my opinion -- the big difference there is most people know who Stephen Hawking is and very few will have heard of Christy Brown. It was an interesting biopic to learn more about the person behind the brilliant mind. Eddie Redmayne did a fantastic job.
I liked it as well.
Horrible Bosses 2.
8/10
it was pretty funny. I was laughing on the couch by myself. when normally I wouldn't when watching a comedy alone.
Oh and Kevin Spacey was f-ing awesome in that movie :lol:
