Argo was alright I just couldn't associate with any of the characters.  Couldn't make me care for them so, end up feeling a little flat.  Not terrible just wouldn't watch it again.
I feel this way about How I Met Your Mother. People keep trying to force it down my throat, but I feel zero connection with the characters. Let's see a realistic show about a lonely guy with a cat and a drinking problem.

I saw the new Die Hard (daddy issues) and Brave (mommy issues). That being said, Brave was pretty good and Die Hard was pretty bad.

I was watching Die Hard, I had to leave early to tend to an issue and when I looked at my watch I realized I was an hour into the movie and all I had seen so far was action and no story.

I watched The Green Mile the other day. I watched part of it years ago but never got to finish it but finished it this weekend and loved it. But I felt the ending was good but didn't think it matched the theme very well...

This movie would've been even more EPIC, if they just had more money... My god, the potential was huge...

the 2009 one was great... i can't pay attention to the shows because they're a bit drawn out...

Has anyone here seen Argo?

Thoughts?

It's on my "To-Watch" list

Viewed "Seven Psychopaths" this weekend with my wife. She didn't like it because of the watery and somewhat predictable plotline. (There were a few twists that take you by surprise)

I think it's one of those movies that requires multiple viewings to appreciate, cult classic like. I enjoyed it and if you can overlook the plotline flaws and the fact that it was advertised as a shoot-em-up comedy type movie (The trailer does not at all indicate what the final product is like. The one scene with Walken being told to put his hands up while he says "No" "But, I have a gun!" "I don't care." was completely different in context from what I expected.) when in fact it's an emotional black comedy



Reccomended if you like black comedies and don't care too much about the plot. Some great one liners and setups. Very funny in parts and the acting is spot on fantastic from all the main characters.


Shoot em' up was great... I mean Monica Bellucci as a wet-nursing prostitute... all kinds of wrong that you just can't turn away from....   It was borderline unnecessary...

7 psychopath was indeed watery...

I have been meaning to watch Seven Psychopaths though. Looks good.

Seven Psychopaths wasn't that great.  It's worth the bandwidth but not much more.

Django, Lincoln were pretty good.  Silver Lining Playbook was much better than I thought it was going to be.

Django felt wayyyyy too long for me to like. Some parts were just boring and the ending scene was kinda meh really. I don't know why but I think after watching the Korean vengeance movies all this hollywoodik violence seems not too violent at all.

I don't like how the Django movie portrayed white people..

A grown up watches the movie and go, oh ok, yea they're exaggerating...

A younger person may watch this and go ,, yea,, kill dem' crackers"....   This generates an unnecessary divide which may ripple into more social angst in young black Americans... for which they may end up compensating by violence or racism 'against whites'

Which is why I've always thought that movies should steer clear of racism, because it can easily be taken out of context, or be viewed by people who would never be exposed to or ever look-up context...

But, i suppose the film studios just can't stop from emotional profiteering off the racism springboard..


Racism should really be explained in a modern class room environment by a qualified professional.. Such as a businessman who sees the objective goals and not the meddling emotions of it all.

I would agree with you on the racist aspect of the question. At least, I feel that movies nowadays are greatly playing on the look-how-bad-white-people-have-been part when the story is way more complicated than this.
In Django, however, I feel it's pretty obvious that southern white guys are exaggerated. This is the most visible in the KKK scene, where those bastards are outrageously dumb. Moreover, Tarantino is known for exaggerating everything. In Kill Bill, this is all about blood shower. I mean, the guys are losing 100 times their whole blood upon dying. Who would believe that?

Hitler is a "figure head" like presidents and ceos or prime- minister


There is a whole governing body with the "REAL Agenda" that you don't see directly...

Everything you read about the "ONE MAN" is probably wrong...


It doesn't make sense for a man with so much power to harbor "unreasonable hatred"..

Why spend the energy.... you have EVERYTHING.... "using" hatred for appearance, cover, and political drama is one thing.. but to TRULY hate someone when they have little impact on your life would just be a boring waste of time.

in case of hitler, it's not necessarily true.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

The plot was basically water, but if all you're looking for is to eat popcorn and be entertained for a couple hours, it does the job nicely.

Yep, saw IM3 last night and was vastly underwhelmed, entertaining but forgettable. The one thing the film had going for it is that it was 133mins long but felt shorter. Superhero movies just don't even try to be at all similar to their comic book forefathers anymore, it's like they take place in some alternate dimension.

The 25th hour.  A Spike Lee joint.  One of my favorite movies, and has one of the craziest most racist monologues I've ever seen in a movie.  It's interesting because it makes fun of almost everyone.

Warning, not safe for work.  Don't watch if easily offended.

I don't know what is more disturbing; that there was a sequel to Hellraiser, or that they made multiple sequels.  I like some Clive Barker movies, Nightbreed is one of my all-time favorites, but Hellraiser was not one of them.  :rolleyes:

I watched The Thieves last night, nifty criminal caper movie set in Hong Kong.  Some completely insane vertical chase scenes, I think I followed most of the plot twists but it has a cast of at least ten main characters.

I personally enjoyed the first two HellRaiser movies, good practical effect, relate able characters, and unique overall mythology.  The best factor about the first one honestly it that it was a movie with the Cenobites as just part of the universe (Not the main character/focus).  When the movies start to focus on Pinhead (or just having him around too much) really removes any of the creepiness the character is able project.

I did like Nightbreed myself as well, looking at what vampires in the real world (not romanticized) would look/act like was a unique angle.

I don't like how the Django movie portrayed white people..

A grown up watches the movie and go, oh ok, yea they're exaggerating...

A younger person may watch this and go ,, yea,, kill dem' crackers"....   This generates an unnecessary divide which may ripple into more social angst in young black Americans... for which they may end up compensating by violence or racism 'against whites'

Which is why I've always thought that movies should steer clear of racism, because it can easily be taken out of context, or be viewed by people who would never be exposed to or ever look-up context...

But, i suppose the film studios just can't stop from emotional profiteering off the racism springboard..


Racism should really be explained in a modern class room environment by a qualified professional.. Such as a businessman who sees the objective goals and not the meddling emotions of it all.

I would agree with you on the racist aspect of the question. At least, I feel that movies nowadays are greatly playing on the look-how-bad-white-people-have-been part when the story is way more complicated than this.
In Django, however, I feel it's pretty obvious that southern white guys are exaggerated. This is the most visible in the KKK scene, where those bastards are outrageously dumb. Moreover, Tarantino is known for exaggerating everything. In Kill Bill, this is all about blood shower. I mean, the guys are losing 100 times their whole blood upon dying. Who would believe that?

I understand the cause of your concern, but I kind of disagree with the "qualified professional" approach. I'm totally not "hating" on anything, and I'm certainly not saying that I'm right, but these are just a couple of thoughts:

1. I believe that there are far too many things that people find too taboo to talk about in life. Religion, politics, race, income, etc.
2. I believe that taboo topics keep us all separated: the less we talk about them, the more power that topic has over us.
3. We don't need to be any more separated than we are.
4. When we talk about things (even movies) sure, we're all going to have different perspectives, we'll all be a little bit ignorant of something (we are all ignorant of lots of things but that doesn't keep us from discussing those things about which we are ignorant). And we'll make mistakes. That, however, is a big part of how we learn: by making mistakes.
5. Waiting for "qualified expert" to teach us implies that we are incapable (or less capable) of contributing meaningful things to the conversation. Too, waiting for "qualified experts" sounds like a hop, skip and jump away from propaganda. Germany, in WWII, had tons of "qualified" experts "teaching" the population about race. We know how that story ended.
6. I think we all need to have a bit more faith in ourselves: nothing is as bad as the ruling elite would have you believe.

I was in a pickle this weekend at the movies.  it was between jobs and kick ass 2.  i couldn't convince my fiance to sit though another movie about computers so we saw kick ass 2.


Jim Carrey was great although he was only on screen for a few minutes.  Christopher Mintz-Plasse was good as usual.  the disappointment was there wasn't enough foul language from Chloë Grace Moretz (or fighting).

Saw the 2nd Gi Joe movie the other day, it wasn't so bad.

People who said that movie was bad are too picky..   

My criteria for a good movie is simply "presentation"

Original story plot would be great, but that's clearly impossible given the thousands of years of literature already in existence. 

So what really separates one movie from that which has come before... "Presentation"


And both Gi-Joe movies were Fantastic presentation...


From the perspective of children who have not yet seen/read all the action hero plots,  GI-JOE is superior to anything that comes before it, simply because it's the same story, with MUCH more engaging and convincing CGI.

Leon was the first movie I saw Gary Oldman in, it was a long time ago so I didn't really remember the whole movie.

Watched The Toxic Avenger and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes back to back last night. Those were the days, huh?

I think the last movie I watched was "Indie Game: The Movie" other than that I haven't really watched that much.
Nothing recent has really caught my eye.

nowadays i watch a lot of films since le gf has moved to my place. it was ocean's eleven yesterday.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Last movie I saw at the theaters was The Wolverine. Somewhat disappointing and a tad too long.

I just saw " The Heat" and it was a decent comedy , a little unbelievable but pretty funny.

Just watched the 1962 version of Mutiny on the Bounty with Marlon Brando and Trevor Howard. Incredible. If the supporting cast were a bit more up-to-scratch there'd be no reason to ever attempt another version.

Yeah I gotta say it was pretty disappointing,  my favourite moment was the sneak peek to the new x-men movie lol. X-men origins: Wolverine tops this one any day of the week.

Just watched Now You See Me, and I really liked it, I really like these kind of movies i.e the count of monte cristo, limitless, the prestige and such.

Man Of Steel was nice, I liked the Krypton part quite a lot.

Pain & Gain was really funny, but it got really dark towards the end which was kinda disappointing. I want a happy ending :<

Iron Man 3 was kinda meh they're milking a dead cow but hey explosions!

Star Trek Into Darkness, I really prefer the 2 new star treks to the old and a big up for simon pegg :D

Had a bit of a movie marathon for a couple of days :D

Kick Ass 2 is something I still wanna see though
