The Hunger Games

Watched this last night with mother...she fell asleep, and I got bored. I think I'd better read the books; I have absolutely NO IDEA what the fuss is all about. I couldn't really bring myself to care about the plot, the main character was thoroughly unlikeable, and...eh, maybe it's just not for me. Or maybe the books are better. That tends to happen with movies based on books, at least for me.

Full Metal Jacket. great movie, really. before I thought the 'Nam sequence was really boring but I was Fooling Myself. it's very powerful and entertaining throughout. nothing mindblowing and not as interesting as most other Kubrick but it's still really good, of course.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Wasn't too fantastic but it was okay. :D

Looper

This has to be the most intense movie I've ever watched, period. Every scene kept me on the edge and I gotta love the heavy use of slow motion to make everything even more intense, along with having a plot I consider very original, unique and not too cookie-cutter in nature. There wasn't many big names cast-wise but I was really impressed with Joseph Gordon-Levitt (I like the guy, he's very talented in my thoughts) and I think it was the most accurate role he's ever had (in fact, he studied a lot of Bruce Willis by watching some of his movies to perfect the role), and I felt like every moment echoes my dark, troubled side as well.

While I enjoyed this movie, I still couldn't stand how "fake" and "unnatural" Gordon-Levitt's face looked in this movie I do have to give credit for incorporating his talent of speaking French into parts of the movie. Emily Blunt also acted like a real badass here, which is usually a rare sight for her.

In the end, I can say this is not your stereotypical time-travel movie. It's much more intense that I definitely consider it something entirely different for its genre, because every moment will give you shivers. Pretty much one I'd recommend if you're into very intense, on the edge stuff that gives you the feels.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Hmmm...well, they're getting better, I'll give them that. I've also got to give this one credit for making the events of the first three terrible films into figments of Wolverine's imagination. As far as superhero movies go, this one was average really - the acting was passable, the special effects were fantastic (Age of Ultron's Quicksilver has a lot to live up to after this) and the plot was predictable. A good way to spend the afternoon, though! And that post-credits scene...FFFF. Lots of promising Marvel movies coming out in 2016. Apocalypse is one of my favourite villains, and he's easily one of the X-Men's most iconic, so...they'd better not mess this up.

TRON

1982 was a great year for movies.

The Simpsons Movie

Too short but worth the Golden Globes nom.

Nightmare on Elm Street.

They were showing it as a Halloween special in my local cinema so we thought it would be a good occasion to see a good horror film, I'd never seen it before that either!

The Grey

This movie involves a group of men whose plane crashes and lands in snowy Alaska, and they suddenly find themselves targeted by wolves, and they have to use the best of their survival skills in an attempt to fend them off. The intensity really goes up when one by one, the men die over the course of the movie, except one (played by Liam Neeson). Most of them get killed by the wolves, but it eventually leads up to an end showing a brave, emotional performance by Neeson.

I can definitely say, you really tell his acting was greatly impacted in an emotional way when his wife got killed in a skiing accident. It's a reason why you have to always feel for him in any role he's playing.

Hugo 2011

James Cameron is right this movie is a masterpiece.

SapphireMillennium November 16th, 2014 3:22 PM

Back to the Future. Watched it last night with my parents, never gets old.

Nakala Pri November 17th, 2014 3:31 AM

Robot & Frank

Second favourite live action movie. :D I don't know why, probably because:

1. Robbery!

2. Robots!

3. Someone who looks like Britta Perry! :D

maccrash November 17th, 2014 11:56 AM

Rushmore. highly relatable even if I don't want to admit it. 7/10.

pkmin3033 November 19th, 2014 9:21 AM

How To Train Your Dragon 2

...yeah, this was an alright movie. It wasn't as good as the first one, but I still enjoyed it...better than Kung Fu Panda 2, at any rate. It all felt very contrived and half-finished though, definitely a "middle act" film if ever I saw one. It would have been nice if some of the other characters had gotten a look-in, as well. Tumblr led me to believe this film was a lot better than it actually was, but it could have been a lot worse.

Oliver & Company

Brings some nostalgia.

Henry & Me

Hope this will make it to the Oscars.

Hunger Games: Mocking jay Part 1

I already posted my thoughts on this movie in the Mocking Jay thread so.. tl;dr

Was kinda disappointed, I know it's only a build up for the 2nd part, but it's by far my least favorite movie of the bunch. Catching Fire being my most favorite, I hope that the 2nd part will be my new favorite of the bunch

maccrash November 23rd, 2014 11:40 AM

Whiplash in a tiny theater sitting in the second row from the front and craning my neck straight up the entire time. Hahaha Cool but regardless it was really, really good and surprisingly intense. the drama was compelling too. 8/10.

Houndour2005 November 23rd, 2014 12:39 PM

Frozen 2013

Worth the 2 Oscars.

Enchanted 2007

Well don Dinsey satire.

pkmin3033 November 24th, 2014 7:56 AM

Guardians of the Galaxy

LOVE this film! I've wanted to see it again since I went to see it at the cinema when it was released. I still think Ronan was poorly handled and is a huge waste of space for a villain, but this film does everything right otherwise. Easily one of the better MCU movies to date <3

Rapidfir3Pho3nix November 24th, 2014 8:09 AM

Last Friday my GF and I went and seen Interstellar. It was a very good movie. As an engineer with a bit of knowledge of physics myself, I found it to be scientifically sound for the most part. Definitely recommend it to anyone, but especially to those interested in science!

rebel to conform November 24th, 2014 9:33 AM

The last movie I saw in theaters was Gone Girl. I loved everything about it, the pacing, the engrossing soundtrack, and the ending was great. Can't wait to see that one again.

maccrash November 24th, 2014 11:45 AM

There Will Be Blood, watched it last night. it was so good. the whole thing looked beautiful and I loved how stark and somber it was. with its molasses-slow pacing it felt genuinely monolithic. the ending was hilarious/disturbing as well. I'm not sure what to make of the end but I loved it. 9/10, very close to a 10.

Houndour2005 November 28th, 2014 9:41 AM

50/50

Anjelica Houston does a good job in a more serious movie.

Sir Codin November 30th, 2014 11:17 PM

The Blair Witch Project

I'm leaning more towards the side of the debate that says it sucks.

IllusDark8 November 30th, 2014 11:47 PM

The last movie I watched was is in history class, it was called "The Kite Runner"
