Saw 'Spotlight' last night. Wow. I didn't know about the story, but watching it reminded me why I hate the Church and any other holy than thou types.
Was done very well. Go see it!
I felt like you could hear everybody in the audience cringing.
Keaton, Schreiber & Ruffalo were outstanding.
Saw Hateful Eight and Revenant last night. Both outstanding movies. Hateful to me was like a cross of Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill. Ignore the reports about the movie dragging on - simply not true. The bear scene in Revenant lives up to all the hype it's garnering and Leo proves again why he is such a fucking phenomenal actor.
Dead Pool: I laughed. Opening non-credits set the tone.
I really liked Dead Pool. Once again, for a guy who didn't grow up being a big Marvel fan, I am loving these movies.
Very excited to see 'Triple 9'.
Def going to see 'Eddie the Eagle'. I better go see it as soon as it comes out. Something tells me it won't be out for long.
The haters can fuck off. Interstellar was awesome. Get over yourselves.
Deadpool was rock solid. Action, violence, nudity, and constant crass humor.
I enjoyed Deadpool. A lot of fun and Inara Serra is still hot.
As I was walking out of the theatre I heard two guys talking and one said to the other "I don't think Ryan Reynolds can make a bad movie".
Star Wars did not suck. Probably better than any of the "first" three movies (i.e. the 3 most recent ones)
Awesome "star wars" creatures= check
Wicked X-wing fighter battles = check
Light Saber fights = check
Good characters = check
No jar jar binks = check
not dying to see 'revenant' but if I go tomorrow am @ 11:30, I can get half price tix
i figure for $7 it's worth it
glad I went to see 'the revnant' this morning
long movie, but good movie
saw a special sneak preview of 'Eddie the Eagle' this afternoon
was pleasantly surprised it didn't suck & how crowded the theatre was
I concur. Way funnier than most actual comedies. Highly entertaining.Quote:

time for a nap - maybe a really long one.
Just got done watching 10 Cloverfield Lane. What a thrill ride! On the edge of my seat for the whole movie. John Goodman put up an amazing performance. I highly recommend it.
Another vote for 10 Cloverfield! Well done!
If you haven't seen The Big Short, see it. A "I can't believe how fucked this is" type of movie. Steve Carell is phenomenal. Yeah, it's obviously a little watered down but that's what makes it an important movie for a lot of people.
Second the sentiments on Sicario--I watched it three times on my tablet in two weeks, don't know why. Brollin is redonkulously good in it--and I like that they finally acknowledged that he's a midget in height. I thought Blunt was really, really good, too...very human. I didn't think it was BDT's best work--Enjoyed him far more in Savages as of late.
Revenant was good but not the game changer I had heard. I can think of a few films of that period that I found more powerful.
Spotlight is also very, very good. Another super fucked up must-see. Like someone else said, the way the actors slowly came into understanding the importance and magnitude of what was happening was pretty well-done.
Warning: My last recommendation is NOT based on cinematic quality, only sheer entertainment...John Wick. Holy shit, was I shocked at how good this unadulterated shoot everything and everyone movie was....Keanu was passable but his gun-play was unreal and I also enjoyed the characters in a comic book sort of way. Flame away!
Agreed. It kinda seems like Keanu has realized he can't act for shit so he's just dedicated himself to being more convincing in fight / gunplay scenes.Quote:

Apparently the Batman vs Superman movie is getting mediocre to poor reviews. Anyone going to see it this weekend?
I rather enjoyed the Batman vs Superman movie. I found it to be quite better than the reviews would have you believe. Mind you, it has its share of problems, but overall it was entertaining.Quote:

Super intense.
Great practical effects, too.
It's the third film from writer/director Jeremy Saulnier (Murder Party; Blue Ruin)
Wife and I just watched Money Monster. Nothing earth shattering, but a good rainy-day movie. We both enjoyed it.
Watched Remember last night on demand. Very good movie as well.
Another crummy afternoon forecast means another trip to the movies.
Yesterday was The Nice Guys. It was like a buddy cop movie written by Dashiell Hammett. Fun rainy day movie, but it felt like they left a few scenes on the cutting room floor that should have been included. Plot reminded me of LA Confidential meets Running Scared, set in the late '70s. The actor that played Ryan Gosling's daughter was the shining star of the movie.
Similar response to Nice Guys here; made the mistake of buying into the surprisingly good reviews, even after seeing the distinctly unremarkable trailers. Had a few moments, but the Costello moment when Sid's mangled corpse showed up was downright annoying.
I liked the second ankle gun scene.
Agreed! Just made the mistake of watching it during my jetlag-induced insomnia. Too wired now to sleep. Good thing it's the weekend.Quote:
