Junior 1994

Some good effects

Penguins of Madagascar 2014

Not so bad of a spin off movie.

My boyfriend and I watched The Boxtrolls last night. It was a charming little story, with amazing animation. :) I especially enjoyed the last bit after the credits, where the animator is shown moving the characters. It was so cool!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Such a great ending to one of the greatest sagas of our time, really unfortunate it had to end :(

I saw Big Eyes today and it was really great, if not for the plot then for Amy Adams' as-expected great performance. I'm beginning to love her more and more for her recent roles.

I'm also watching Snowpiercer, that dystopic one with civilization existing only on a single train. It's Chris Pine, so that's why I'm watching it. I have plans to also watch Dallas Buyers Club after this is over. 8)

In my top 10 of last years movies.

Finding Nemo but I passed out halfway through :(

The Tree of Life.

my mind is absolutely positively boggled at the thought of this film. ever since I'd first heard of it -- a somber, slow-moving, beautifully shot drama set in the 1950s having to do with a family who is being slightly torn apart by the eldest son's loss of innocence and the parents' conflicting teachings: it also happens to tackle the creation of the world and the meaning of life and the afterlife so I mean yeah -- it's been high atop my list of films to get my hands on as soon as possible. from the very first shot in the film I was absolutely enthralled -- of the mother, presumably, as a young child, looking out a window at twilight and reaching her hands out. while this might seem to be a bit of a random scene for me to place such significance on, it's the first actual landscape that you see, and it's astonishingly beautiful. the colors pop, put they have a slightly dulled tone in keeping with the rustic setting (Texas) and the time period in which it's shot (presumably, at this point, the 1930s or so). we immediately then segue to the 1960s, after the majority of the events of the film take place, in which both of the parents receive a letter having to do with one of the middle sons passing away (we never learn which). it brings them apart, and the eldest son, Jack, now a jaded, middle-aged man working in a big city, has absolutely no clue what the fuck he's doing with his life and this scars him even further.

from there, we see the world formed, an explosion of lava and red, and we see dinosaurs on the earth, and we see the family grow up, and we see the father (Brad Pitt, who acts it excellently) emotionally (and sometimes, physically) abuse the entire family, and we learn that while everything might be total shit while we're going through it, it's all worth it in the end. this was an absolutely beautiful film and I think it may have overtaken my "favorite film of all time" spot. 10/10.

I finally saw Mockingjay a few days ago. I keep thinking that I'm over the Hunger Games series, then a movie comes out and drags me back in... Anyway, it was really good, Mockingjay was my least favorite book (seems like that's true for just about everyone), but I thought this was the best film so far. Good acting throughout and the plot moved along nicely. It was definitely a good idea to split it into two parts.

I just watched 21 Jump Street again last night because I saw the sequel a few weeks ago and they alluded to it being "basically the same case" and after rewatching the first one... yep, that's about right lol

Sir Codin January 6th, 2015 3:13 AM

The Matrix

I really forgot how good this movie was.

Too bad they never made any sequels.

The Silence of the Lambs

Tried to get my girlfriend to watch it with me on Netflix the other day but she didn't seem to "get" it, which is a shame because its a great movie. Hard to believe its 24 years old already.

Pendraflare January 7th, 2015 9:16 PM

Well, I just watched Frozen for the first time a little while ago, which I was long overdue for.

While it wasn't outright spectacular, there were quite a few parts that got sad, and others where it got insanely scary. While the end of the movie was slightly predictable, I thought it was still very heartwarming. So, definitely worth my time and something I could see myself watching again.

PK

It's an Indian film showcasing how the way we see religion is all wrong.

Whirlwind Invader January 9th, 2015 5:58 PM

Fierce Creatures

^This movie is totally hilarious, it's pure entertainment~

Livewire January 9th, 2015 6:45 PM

Casino Royale (2006)

One of my favorite movies ever and the movie that got me into the James Bond franchise as a whole a few years ago as a kid. Although now I do consider Skyfall a better Bond movie. Quantum of Solace is kinda meh, and is too formulaic.

Enter The Void. Trippy stuff man.

Indeederino.

In the Loop (2009), Lilo & Stitch (2002) and Gone Girl (2014) yesterday. I know, weird combination of films to watch back-to-back.

In the Loop had me in stitches. Total stitches. Mimi Kennedy and James Gandolfini (R.I.P.) are MVPs and just play off of each other so effortlessly. And the lines, dear God. "You sounded like a f'ing Nazi Julie Andrews!" had me rolling on the floor laughing.

Lilo & Stitch is still incredibly charming and affecting to me after years of not having watched it. I really enjoyed this new perspective of watching the film through Nani as the big sister who's thrown into this role of an adult and caretaker for Lilo, struggling to find a job and appeasing her social worker and keeping everything in control.

Gone Girl was madness. I thought I was watching a conventional whodunnit but then it just morphed into something that was totally no-holds-barred and insane. By the time blood was heavily spilled, it was already miles past the realism that it adhered to in the first half. Definitely one of Fincher's stranger films IMO.

I went and saw The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies yesterday. I really enjoyed the movie. It was really great.

Just watched the Lego Movie again, I love that film!!!

dude that fucking movie. I only got 35 minutes in the first time I tried to watch it after deciding I was definitely not in the mood for something like that, but I've still gotta try it out again.

It helps if you've done all the drugs in that movie. <3

Just watched Guardians of the Galaxy with my dad, it was my first time seeing it (got it for Christmas). While it's not The Avengers, it was definitely worth my time. There was a mix of some intensity and humor to be dealt here.

I finally watched Identity Thief earlier. It was miles cuter than I thought it would be, and marginally not as funny. But the former made up for the latter, and I really enjoyed Melissa McCarthy having a role characteristic other than cunning, narcissistic, asshole. It was refreshing. After, I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. I'd never heard of it before but I immensely love young Carrey in serious roles (he's adorable and also really good at doing non-comedy, surprisingly) and it was a pretty good movie. Confusing as hell at some points, but a creative idea for its time. I'm rewatching The Amazing Spider-Man 2 now and I'm wondering if there's a hidden alternate ending in which they actually live a happy life together instead of Peter Parker having to get his ass kicked by every bad thing that could happen in his life. :') there's not

Jayce January 10th, 2015 11:44 PM

I just got done watching St. Vincent. I'd give it a B-, it was a nice movie and had some really good moments but I found it to be a little predictable. Overall it was good, but it just didn't live up to my expectations.

Gotta love Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy, though.

Into the Storm

One of last years best thrillers.
