LadyCrimson Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Grosse Pointe Blank. Still one of my favorite comedy+action movies ever. 3 “Things are as they are.

Luj1 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Recently I saw '71 - this is the top of my list , a brilliant civil war thriller Black Sea - a hasty/sloppy start , but otherwise I feel this is a great submarine thriller (perhaps a little underrated) Battle of the Five Armies - Good movie to take your kids to, but not for Tolkien purists xD John Wick - ridiculous action flick. Fun to watch with a good friend but its no serious movie by any means. Inherent Vice - a solid pulp movie about the 70s. A bit long and based on a book. Lots of drugs and hippies.

Luj1 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 May I add Captain Phillips , which I watched yesterday. A suspenseful thriller/drama based on the 2009 Somali hijacking of a US cargo boat. Tom's acting was brilliant and the movie quite good, but maybe a half hour too long. Recommended.

LadyCrimson Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Interstellar Didn't realize it was such a long movie. We started it late and hubby went to bed in the middle, while I watched everything but the last 30 minutes or so. I'll finish it tonight. It's one of those movies where sometimes you feel like "nothing much is really happening" yet you can't stop watching because it still mesmerizes you somehow. Better than Gravity imo, although the bits on Earth are the least interesting. “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Watched the rest of Interstellar. I liked it quite a lot up until the ending, which used time paradox and lack of any real explanation for its kewl ending premise. Made me go "huh...ok." But worth the watch and for some that type of ending is probably awesome. It just makes me scratch my head, tho. Kinda like 2001. I liked the robots.

LadyCrimson Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Oh aye. He was very good. I've always liked him. Although, ever since Jim Carrey has made fun of those automobile ads on SNL, it's been difficult for me not to picture those at times, when watching Matthew. edit: 1 “Things are as they are.

I heard that the original script ending was going to be Maconohay trapped in a black hole not sure if his signal had got out or not. Apparently it was changed because it was too bleak.

It may be bleak but uncertainty is key for good endings to such philosophical movies. And it'd be way more realistic than this happy-ending. No way in my mind he'd be able to get back to earth from that situation lol. No way. I really loved the movie but the ending was too happy and too impossible for me.

Amentep Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Nightbreed directors cut. I liked, and am wondering if we will see a continuation. Supposedly whatever exists of Morgan Creek has been pitching a cable TV show continuation of it, with Clive's involvement at some level. Barker's said he might revist the story. And there is a comic book continuation going on now from IDW. I watched THE STING (1973). Been awhile since I'd see it, so I only partially remember bits. Good film. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa are we talking serious cinematography here ? Don't get me started here haha Tarkovsky Bergman Bunuel Kurosawa Herzog My favorite movie is definitely Stalker (1979). I realized that only after the third time I watched it. My second favorite is Aguire (1972), a less known film - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068182/ "There once was a loon that twitter Before he went down the ****ter In its demise he wasn't missed Because there were bugs to be fixed." ~ Kaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Interstellar. Pretty good movie that fell apart a little at the end, but time travel always does that. The visuals were awesome and I love the robots. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luj1 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) That robot design was visionary to say the least. EDIT: I felt Interstellar's strongest point was its mid development. The beginning felt sloppy and the end was unsatisfactory. It was too happy (the ending) for my taste and felt improbable to say the least ( I mean that he'd find his way come). Such impossible things kill the immersion for me. The scrapped ending in which he ended up trapped in the black hole unsure whether his signal got out was much better.

Luj1 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Maybe its a covert omage (incase of which that'd be brilliant) but its still a fantastic design.

LadyCrimson Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 I don't dislike the film or anything like that, but for me the best thing about 2001 was ... the music. And HAL, who was awesome. Other than that, it's sort of hypnotic at times, but mostly that leads to me falling asleep. 1 “Things are as they are.

Amentep Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'll never forget a friend of mine explaining that the appeal of 2001 was lost on anyone who didn't see it at the theater during its original release... ...because at the time there would be enough people chain smoking marijuana that you'd get high too, even if you weren't smoking anything. 1 I cannot - yet I must.

cirdanx Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Seventh Son, i waited long for this movie but it was in dev. hell for a long time. It was rather enjoyable i have to say, pretty good fantasy movie. But god damn that accent forced upon Jeff Bridges in this movie almost ruins it. The acting overall is good, effects are good and the story has potential but never really picks it up. To make it short, its a good fantasy popcorn movie Edited April 12, 2015 by cirdanx "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, the man who never reads lives one."
