Title: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sauza12 on December 22, 2004, 07:52:21 AM
It works the same as the music topic, but I just want to know if you've been watching alot of a particular TV show or movie series, etc.

Lately I've been watching a ton of Quantum Leap and Mystery Science Theatre 3000, as well as a little Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

I more or less watch the same stuff when i do watch TV.

News, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien.
Stuff on Channel 22 (local NBC) between 8-11: Las Vegas, Crossing Jordan, ER. 3rd Watch, Law and Order, etc etc.

I downloaded about 15 hours of tom and jerry some weeks back. That's been keeping me busy for some time now. And I got myself a Mickey Mouse DVD. Yesterday I saw Raw, a documentary about the Ramones. It was very cool.

I hope you don't take offense to this Izret, but my girlfriend watches the same shows.  Add the OC and North Shore and thats her weekly programming schedule.

Post by: Izret101 on December 22, 2004, 11:48:47 AM
No offense taken.

With the lack of cable all I watch is what I pull in with the antenna.
4 channels
1 comes in good(NBC) 1 comes and goes (ABC) 1 is spanish the other is local TV. You know the type that always has money drives...

When i am at my dads house it is usually G4Tech TV, Science Channel, Discovery, History or some other "learning" station or HBO if there isn't something on for the 100000 time.

Well, if football isn't on, I almost never watch TV.  Every once in a freakish while I'll turn it on for the news, but then I am reminded that even the news on TV sucks.  If there is any show worth watching, I watch it on my PC or on DVD later.  This very rarely happens either.

I do however watch a lot of movies.  Today I watched The Fog of War, which was actually pretty good.

I'm with Nep, this time of year it's mostly football that I'm watching. Having a 5 year old daughter also dictates my viewing selection. So lately I've been watching a lot of Disney Channel stuff like "Even Stevens" and "Lizzie McGuire".

Yesterday I was watching cartoons with her while my wife was baking, We watched "the Nutcracker Prince" and "My Neighbor Totoro".

That's such a great movie!  I almost never watch movies more than once, but I've seen that a few times and love it each time.

As for me, I just watched Resident Evil: Apocalypse.  Yippie for that.  It would have been so much better if the Nemesis had been played by Stephen Hawking.

Did you see the movie?  Just imagine Stephen Hawking walking around saying "S.T.A.R.S." repeatedly while shooting rockets from his wheelchair.

Oh, and the scene when the chick from the first movie broke through the cathedral window on the motorcycle and then shot it in the air to make it explode and kill the monsters was one of the most amazingly ridiculous things I've ever seen.  It just went so far past the line of what they should do that it was actually pretty cool.  Now, as for the plot of the movie.....  That's another story...  Or rather it isn't!!  (Ha ha, get it?  Yeah, bad joke.)

Yea, I ended up watching that a while ago with some friends because there wasn't anything better to watch and I was like "Oh man, that movie is ... good!"

Except it made me laugh what a big deal that scrapbook they made was at school. I can understand the bit about saying the teacher is a drug pusher.. but otherwise, who cares? Girls are bitches and we all know it.

I don't know, I kind of liked Daddy Day Dare, Haunted Mansion and the 2 Dr. Doolittle movies. oh and both Shreks. could do without Nutty Professor and Meet the Klumps though.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sauza12 on January 19, 2005, 08:41:50 AM
The Shreks don't count.  He was like the third lead in that movie, not the star.

The only new Eddie Murphy movies that I have liked at all were the Dr. Doolittle movies, and even those weren't that good.

Anybody else found the blooper reel easter egg on the Star Wars DVD? It's cool, here's some directions that should confuse you.

On the bonus disc's Games and picture gallery section push the 10+ button, make it eleven. You may have to push enter but I don't think so. Anyway, R2 should light up then you push 8, wait for pause then push 3. Or it might be the other way around, 3 and then 8.
If that doesn't work, complain and I'll tell you to look online like you shoulda done in the first place.

today I watched "Donkey Kong Country - the Legend of the Crystal Coconut". it's a CG movie from around 1997. It LOOKED good, really lame music and not too interesting story though. I know it's a kids movie but having a 5 year old I watch a lot of kids movies and I've seen better.

Urgh, I saw that about two nights ago. I was so pissed off that I bothered to watch it. ><;;

I also watched Employee of the Month the other night. Also a crap movie. The last 15-20 minutes was pretty cool, but you have to sit through the other hour and fifteen minutes to get why it's so cool.

Just saw a documentary about the start of the holocaust. It was pretty cool. They had loads of original footage and interviews with survivors of auschwitz and a former SS soldier that used to be part of a murder squad. He was still a fanatic nazi. Sad and impressive stuff.

Not at all.  It's just a movie about a bunch of people.  There is really no plot or storyline....  just a bunch of people in a small town who interact with each other over the course of the movie.  The character development is so good though that it's kind of irrelevant that nothing actually happens.  I believe the title means, "I Remember," when translated, and I think Fellini was probably making a movie somehow based on people from his youth.  I could be wrong on that though and am too tired to check.  Cool movie nonetheless.

Post by: Lord Nepenthean on February 08, 2005, 07:51:09 AM
Yeah the Coppola one.  People always talk about how bad of an actor Reeves is, and while I agreed, I never thought he was one of the worst actors ever or anything.  Now I know that he is.  Also, the movie had lengthy scenes that seemed to have no apparent relevance to anything.  The character development was really piss-poor, costume design was quite lacking, and there was absolutely no flow to the movie.

There were a few good things about it.  Whoever played Dracula was pretty good, and Anthony Hopkins was as always great.  The rest of the movie just really disappointed me and made me want it to be over.

Saw Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events at the Dirty Dan last night.  The sets and costumes were awesome, and there were a few funny parts....  but overall, I didn't like it much.  The script was AWFUL, and the whole thing with the baby's noises being translated into sentences wasn't even funny the first time they did it, much less the next 900 times.

Over the last 2 days i watched Samuri X(i think the anime was called), Saikano(another anime), some Red vs. Blue episodes(i really have to get these).

Missed out on seeing The Village but thats no big deal.

Also missed out on seeing Constantine which sucked but i guess it let me spend the money elsewhere.

Bad Boys II is a stupid, stupid, STUPID movie.

(http://www.mpvideo.ch/bad%20boys%202.jpg)

I was going to give it a 4/10 until I saw the part where they drove through shanties (houses made out of garbage, cardboard, and scrap metal) in Cuba.  Why did this upset me?  Because these shanties EXPLODED, one after the other.  Yes, that's right.  You saw blades of grass explode in Terminator 3, but they've actually taken it a step further, and it wasn't meant as a joke this time.  Houses with dirt floors and cardboard walls EXPLODED in this movie.  Because of this, I dropped my score of 4/10 to the following:

1/10

P.S.  The rest of the movie was really slow and boring, and the character conflicts got so drawn out that they became more annoying than anything.  As was the case with the first one, they could have renamed this movie "Two Stereotypical Black Cops With Attitude" and you would know everything there is to know about the movie.  Stay away.

@Nep - why such hate for this movie, it was hilarious.  (But i guess it is to be expected because you didn't like Euro Trip either.)  Anyways, the shanties exploded because they were supposed to be meth labs, and meth labs contain lots of explosive chemicals.  If you had been paying attention to the movie, you would have heard this.  Also, there are a few shots inside tha shanties where you can see the labs themselves.  


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Lord Nepenthean on February 23, 2005, 09:48:11 AM
Yeeeeaah, and all third world countries have meth labs in their shanties, because they have no power, no water, definitely no gas, and absolutely no security.  Want to get robbed?  Go to a shanty town.  You certainly won't find meth labs there.

@Nep - No, normal shanties don't have access to such things, but these were either on or near the property of the drug lord. And I'm sure there is somewhere in havana where you can buy gas, and there has to be water close by, or else its a really bad spot for a shanty town. And cuba is not third world, it is second.

Hero is a movie that will kick your ass because it is so cool.  I didn't like some of the fights because they were a bit *too* overdone (I know that was the point), but it was such an epic movie that it rocked hard.

Anyway, I just watched Black Orpheus last night/this morning (4:30-6:30 AM before going to bed).  Pretty cool movie, though it's definitely not for everyone.

Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade

I wasn't really sure what to think about this movie.  It seemed pretty good, but it was really confusing.  Well-animated.  Great design.  Cool premise....   It was just really confusing trying to figure out what the heck was going on and why people were doing things at the end.

Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Lord Nepenthean on March 07, 2005, 08:26:05 AM
The Terminal was allright.  Cool idea, good acting, fairly well executed....  but the end just went waaaaay overboard.

As for me, I just watched Tarzan, the Ape Man (1932).  It was allright.  Parts of it were really great, like the beginning and end, but too much of the middle was just a bunch of stock footage of Africa that the studio was clearly using as filler.  If the movie had been cut down by about a half hour, I would give it an 7 or 8/10, but with all the meaningless animals walking around in the middle of the movie, I give it a 5/10.

(http://www.affichescinema.com/insc_t/tarzan_man.jpg)
http://www.affichescinema.com/insc_t/tarzan_man.jpg

and

Africa Speaks - English (1933) with Edgar Bergan and Charlie McCarthy.  This was really funny.  Great stuff, though I doubt you'll find it anywhere.  If you do, watch it.  It's only like ten minutes long.  8/10.

I took my daughter to see the new Vin Diesel movie "The Pacifier" today. Vin is not the most gifted actor but this was a cute little family flick. Typical heartwarming Disney fare with a few chuckles tossed in. I liked it.

During the previews is was pretty apparent the trend of remakes has no end in sight. A new "Bad News Bears" and Herbie the Love Bug" are on the way. Though I have to admit I want to see both of them.

Robot Chicken is hillarious.
To bad it is so short.

Watched alot of the science channel over the weekend.

The Crown of Thorns starfish that eat hard coral have overlapped their eating cycles because the survival conditions for their young got better.
There was more algea in the nutrianet rich run-off water so the young that normally would have starved to death were all growing up and eating more reef before it had any time to grow back.
Bad for the coral reef now but before they were doing the slower growing coralsome help by allowing it to catch up somewhat with the faster growing coral so it didn't choke the life out of it.

Last night i watched a show on The Worlds Strongest Boy.
I don't remember his full name but it was Richard something ne was from Ukraine.
I am sure people have heard about him already. It was pretty big in the news for awhile.

It was definately interesting. He was pound for pound the strongest human there was.
At i think 7 years old he weighed 70 pounds and could lift 210. He was not only strong and had a great physique(sp?) but knew martial arts and was very limber.

I was dozing last night while watching this show about "The HIdden Treasures of Afghanastan" What i saw was pretty cool. They were talking about how some arab guys hid film negatives behind a wall because the Taliban was destroying it as well as other old paintings and sculptures.

They also were showing a archeologist who was searching for this ancient sleeping buddah thing that was almost 1000 feet long and he ended up uncovering part of it right where it had been described by some monk who had seen it 1000+ years ago.

It was pretty interesting to hear some of it. Like they believe that when judgement day comes their Allah will say to everyone who made art in the form of living things "You have competed with me now give it a soul."

Over the last week or so at school i watched.
Ghandi which surprised me becuase i thought it was pretty good. Martin Sheen was in it and was good too. I didn't see the whole thing though becuase the movie is so long. Only about 1.5-2 hours.

Another good onme  was Mr. Smith Goes to Washington it was a really good film about corruption in politics. It came out the same year as Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind. From what i understand Congress did not like it at all and actually did not want it to be shown in theaters because of it portrayal of politicians. It was nominated for an Academy award (which gone with the wind won) but lost because of the controversy around it.

Last movie I watched in the cinema was Kingdom of Heaven...and a bit of a disappointment.  I didn't really know what to expect, yet my expectations were quite high as they kept advertising "by the director of Gladiator"...which happens to be one of my all-time favorites.  I disliked some of the acting, and most of the dialogue.  It seemed like a bit of a kiddy movie, where the main actor knows everything better, etc.  This can sometimes be a believable aspect, but in this case where they keep mentioning how the main actor is nothing but a black smith, it really annoyed me everytime 1. he said the obvious and everyone looked up to him like they couldn't think of it themselves and 2. he says/does something that a black smith from that time period would have no clue about...

The movie was worthwhile to watch, but I just wish they had tried to make the story a bit more realistic.  They should also have made the main point of the movie clear in the beginning...I did miss the first couple minutes, so maybe I missed the intro...but it wasn't until after the second half of the movie until I realized what the main plot of the movie was...before this I kept wondering who was the bad guy and who was the good guy, because even though it was somewhat clear, they showed both good/bad sides of most characters making it somewhat confusing...

Hopefully what I just wrote makes some sense...it was more of a movie rant than a constructive "review"...but that's what you get at 2:30 in the morning ;)

we're taking our daughter to see Madagascar after her last day of kindergarten. she's all excited. I won her the hippo character out of one of those crane grabbers at the grocery store. also picked her up some Pez dispensers with the characters.

as for what I'm watching:

watched Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events the other night. this movie had a neat look and an interesting premise. some of the dialogue was a bit hokey and Jim Carrey of course over acted.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: CatchFiveBats on June 02, 2005, 08:08:24 AM
I don't think the character of Count Olaf would have been nearly as funny if Jim Carrey hadn't overacted.  If you've ever seen the blooper reel of "Liar Liar", there's a mess-up in a courtroom scene where someone calls him "overactor" completely by accident.  It's pretty funny.

Now Cinematec is on and they are showing clips from a bunch of games and they have a speed run of LoZ on NES in the bottom corner.
Who ever did it went to like 8 hidden rooms in 5 minutes. They stopped it for commercials but it is pretty cool to watch that too.

I saw Troy and Ocean's 12 today both of which were excellent movies.

Troy moved very quickly i had expected it to seem alot longer but it kept you interested the whole way thru.
And Oceans 12 i knew i would like because i liked Oceans 11.
Excelent cast of characters and it was actually pretty funny IMO.

Again to anyone who hasn't seen them they are highly reccomended

Yaaay they are going to rerun Lost.
I missed a bunch of them. This was a pretty good if not strange TV series.
The final episode was pretty irritating.
It gave no answers to anything.


this is one hell of a tv series! this is coming to dvd in september, i believe.

as for what i am watching at the moment.... friends season 3 disc 4. my wife has all 9 seasons and until a few weeks ago...i have never seen a single episode. i was never into watching television, i was more of a movie guy.

I watched the new The Alamo. It was surprisingly good. I dont remember even hearing anything about it when it came out so I figured it must suck. Guess it was just too patriotic for the Media to review. Still need to watch Life Aqautic.

I saw Troy and Ocean's 12 today both of which were excellent movies.

Troy moved very quickly i had expected it to seem alot longer but it kept you interested the whole way thru.
And Oceans 12 i knew i would like because i liked Oceans 11.
Excelent cast of characters and it was actually pretty funny IMO.

Again to anyone who hasn't seen them they are highly reccomended


Troy is a great movie but Oceans 12 was the worst 15 minutes of movie I ever seen, It's the only movie I ever walked out on. What a waste of $8.00.

I think this is a remake of some movie who's name escapes me.  Mystery Science Theater did a thing on it.

I really do hate the matrix trilogy.  It stole its story line from old cyberpunk books (that did it better), and got its aesthetics from industrial music subculture (which did it better).  Saying something is like the matrix is like saying something is like Manson's cover of Coil's - Tainted Love.

God I hate that trilogy.  Those movies offend me. >:0

Watched a bunch of movies lately...

Wedding Crashers - decent comedy...I'm a huge fan of comedy movies with Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, and Will Ferrel, but this one just didn't meet my expectations.  It had some good laughs, but not as spectacular as everything made it out to be.

Stealth - think Fast & Furious and futuristic Top Gun....pathetic...I managed to have a good time watching this thanks to all the shit me and my friends were talking about it in the meantime...really pathetic for a movie...that's all I have to say ;)

Crash - very, very good movie...was to be expected since it is the 56th highest rated movie on imdb.com.  The less I say about this movie, the better - for those who haven't seen it yet.  Definitely worth a watch.

A Lot Like Love - ok, I was bored and decided to watch this one...mediocre movie...decent movie to watch with a chick or if you're really bored and have nothing better to do ;)

War of the Worlds - pretty good movie...entertaining & it really pulls you into the surroundings and suspense that the characters are going through...the acting is superb and the display of emotion is very well done...also definitely worth a watch.

Elektra - stopped watching this one after 20 minutes...don't really know why I started watching it in the first place, but it felt like I had nothing better to do ;)  

Cursed - pretty entertaining movie...maybe I just like these teen movies, but I thought it was not too bad.  Good way to waste some time ;)

Hitch - well, don't really have to say much here I guess...great movie!

Unleashed (aka Danny the Dog) - 2nd time I watched this one...also a very good movie.  It has a lot of action, yet not too much...a bit slow at times, but the drama and storyline are good and the acting is also excellent...

xXx:  State of the Union - watched this one recently and already can't remember much from it...not a good sign ;)  it was entertaining, but that's about all...

The Final Cut - an OK B movie....acting is good but the plot is very slow and not that exciting really.  I've had this movie for 2 years and only just watched it now recently...I think that says enough ;)

These are just some quick comments from me...always better to check out imdb.com for full reviews on these movies.  ;)

-Speedy

that's too bad since she was such a cool character in the comic. I didn't care for how she was portrayed in the DD movie either (or any of the other characters for that matter). a well, a wasted opportunity.

@ CFB i saw that DVD set available for download a day or more ago.
o it either comes out soon or is already out.

I am watching The General in my Media Issues class.
It was made in 1926. It was written by and stars Buster Keaton.
He apparently was the Jackie Chan of his time. He did all his own stunts.
So far i only saw 20-30 minutes of it. The movie is 70 some odd minutes long.

It is good too.


Interesting fact for Mike
One half of all the movies made before 1950 are gone.
I am pretty sure you had already told me something like that though...

With the weather changing and Halloween about a month and a half away, I have been in a real horror movie type of mood.  I started off with a really bad movie last night - Urban Legends.  I'm going to go to Hollywood video tomorrow and rent out a couple of older horror movies.  Wish I could find a copy of The Audition for less then a bazillion dollars.


Oh, I also watched the Family Guy Movie.  When this comes out on DVD on the 27th, buy three copies of it.

Actually the whole list is pretty f'd up if you n=know anything about movies.



IMDB's top 250 list comes directly from users' ratings of the films on their website. The more popular the movie is, the more hits it receives, the more ratings it will most likely receive, in turn gives it the momentum it needs to travel up the rankings to make that top list.  

It's based entirely on their point scale & number of votes.

So what happens is as new movies are being released, or coming out on dvd people are reading about them online, and viewing them & then voting on them while they are still current.  


Most of your older movies just as good or better than recent titles have been overlooked as they are not generating as many new hits on the site, and not nearly as many votes.  :(


I will say this much, Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite movies of all time! I don't know how you can compare alot of the movies across the various genres & especially across so many years of film, but Shawshank would be in my personal top 10. I'm not sure what number order I'd place on any of them, but it's be in the top 10 for sure.  

Green Mile is very good as well, but Shawshank had a more realistic storyline. It's a simple, believable story about a guy who's been wrongfully accused & how he's able to overcome this hand he's dealt. There are no super powers at work, and nothing out of the ordinary. The warden & staff play such evil men that you really hope for the best & that justice will prevail in the end.  So maybe it is a happy story, but it's one that I enjoy very much, and one I would place very high on any list of top 100 movies.  

Another good prison movie I like is Dead Man Walking. This one, written & directed by Tim Robbins, takes a different angle on good vs bad. The bad guy ultimately gets what he deserves in the end, but you're left feeling sorry for him in the process. I thought it was very moving. Sean Penn plays alot crybaby roles! I like him alot in 21 Grams too.

Watching some show about  animals and they just showed this Red Capped Cardinal. Those things are insane!
The make these awesome sounds by hitting the tips of their wings together 80x per second. Faster than a hummingbird flaps its wings.
And they moon walk and stuff do. They had to use a high speed camera (500 times per second) in order to film many of its movements.
It was doing a moonwalk type thing too. It is the fastest thing  
One of the coolest things i have ever seen.

The new one or the old one? I half watched the old one, it was meh. You're right thought, if you like vampires acting like depressed goths, you'll love this.

If by "the old one" you mean the one released in 2003 starring Kate Beckinsale, then yes, that would be the one I'm talking about.

Yeah, I meant that ancient one. The new one's coming out (or is it out?) later this month. Thought maybe you'd gotten a sneak preview or something.

I finally, after months of searching, (I didn't realize there was something called Bittorrent) got Oldboy. But I haven't watched it yet, maybe tonight.

I wish.  A friend of mine (once again, the writer of the anti-Halo article) really really liked the first one, so if I had a chance to preview the sequel, I'd do it just to get his goat.

It was the first time my mom saw it though.
Still a good movie the second time around.

Also, everyody should go buy or steal the Ben Stiller Show DVD just to watch the Manson sketch. They replace Lassie with Charles Manson and it's funnier than anything in the whole wide world.

Here's a quote:

Charles Manson: You can't get a stain out! You think I'm the stain. They say Charlie is a stain and they try to rub me out and put me in a jail cell. Only you don't- you just spread me around, more! I'm inside your children. I'm a stain all out there in the world. I'm not just locked up. You're locked up in the prison. I'm free. I'm fly - I'm...
[flaps arms]
... floating around and looking around. I Like it up here. You should try some lemon juice.

And While that probably doesn't seem funny it does when Manson is playing Lassie.

What a classic.

I've watched it again recently as well...definitely good parody ;)

I've recently been watching quite a few movies...

Man on Fire = awesome, can't believe I've postponed watching this one for so long...

Just Friends = shitty comedy...that guy from "two guys, a girl, and a pizza place" is really getting worse...van wilder, then that restaurant movie (waiting?), and then this...

Elephant = I really had high expectations of this one based on the imdb reviews and score...still a bit of a disappointment...I understand what Gus van Sant was trying to accomplish, but it didn't really appeal to me at all.

Green Street Hooligans = not too bad, lots of fighting :) I'd give it a 7/10.

Legend of Zorro = pretty entertaining and a general 'feel good' movie :)

Thumbsucker = a slow drama movie...a bit of something else for a change, but nothing really special or worth watching ;)

Hotel Rwanda = another great movie!

I saw V for Vendetta earlier and i thought it was pretty damn sweet.

Just watched The Cave and it was pretty good too.

Both movies were longer than they seemed, which is always something i like.

The original or the Rock remake?

I saw Sky High today, disney movie about super hero teens in high school. Pretty good actually.

Also saw The Avengers. I have to say i liked that one alot. It was pretty much left open for a sequal and i think it would be good to see one or more sequals come out for it.

Last summer I bought a laserdisc player from my local Goodwill and since then I've accumulated something like 150 discs with very few duplicates. In fact they're taking up so much room I have to move a number of them to even get the tray open.

Then recently I got a CED player and some of those kind of discs. Included with one lot are "He-Man" v.1 and 2, among others. I'm waiting for a certain website to get back to selling because I want the rare "Yor, the Hunter from the Future" videodisc.

I need to get the BSG 2.0 seasons 1 & 2 because, like every other continuing series, I tend to lose track of the episodes, sometimes never even having time to set the VCR. This happened to me the last three seasons of "24."

Nice little collection. I tend to see Laser Discs all the time at the flea markets & never even think to thumb thru them. Not sure if you've already tried this, but www.half.com has laser discs. People list them under vhs & in the description they say, "Laser Disc.....etc."

The only (2) I have are "Weird Al" Yankovics: UHF & The Videos. I am looking for the Compleat Al now. Good luck with your collection. 8)

I have a Pioneer 704 LD player. It kicks ass. I have about 20-30 LD's. I a Star Wars box set and NBX box set. Also have like 6 Criterion movies.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: jonlester on March 19, 2006, 10:34:26 AM
I haven't tried half.com yet but I go to shopgoodwill.com all the time. discountlaserdisc.com is usually a good source but they know what every title is worth.

One of the biggest reasons I wanted an LD player before finding one was so I could get the last pre-"Special Edition" "Star Wars" discs, the ones put out around '95 or so that had been cleaned up, and I knew everything I have on VHS would deteriorate.

Since then I've also bought myself a video capture interface (ADS Tech DVDExpress, $80 at Wal-Mart) so I can preserve discs and tapes in a more permanent form.

Speaking of DVD's, I heard today that while nobody knows the expected lifetime of a DVD-R, some say every time you play a burned disc it wears out a little more. It seems counter-intuitive to me but has anyone else heard of this?

Watched "The Island" last night. Was it inspried from a foreign film? Though I wasn't a fan of it being drawn out over and over or the action packed scenes, I did enjoy some questions it brings about...humanity, souls, death, religion, ethics, technology/science.

Yea it was an pretty good movie.

I think it would have done better if it came out a few years ago though.
It didn't realy bring anything new to the table.

Although i believe it was a remake anyways.

No i was wrong the island was not a direct remake.
The checked IMDB and the Islad movies all had different concepts.

Stella at 20 Volume 2

I purchased this from the cyberpunks & they converted the original tapes to DVD & the quality is phenomenal. It has a bunch of interviews & how they made certain games....totally worth the money.

How they made each game using only 4k. David Crane made Pitfall with 256 screens using a random generated program. Bunch of problems they encountered & how they conquered them. I actually have only seen Volume 2. Volume 1 isn't for DVD yet. They did the same thing with the VHS editions. I guess once you have vol 2, you have to get 1. lol.

My parents are avid CSI Miami fans. They called me down to see this episode last night where young adults play "real life" video games. I did not see the entire show so I am not sure how it worked. The end result was that they got so caught up in it they robbed banks and hurt people???

It didn't appear that they were sendning any messages across about vg being harmful, but that doesn't mean that people like my parents don't interpret the images/storyline to be that way :)

That dying after playing too long thing only happens to Koreans.

I watched the newest D&D movie (yes I'm lame) and was surprised at how it was actually kinda almost good. After the first one with the ginormous budget and the kinda good actors sucked monkey balls, but this one, with nobody actors and no budget, was good, like really good.

I wasn't too impressed by Donnie Darko, thought it was trying to hard to be something. Although I was playing Killzone at the same time I watched it so maybe I missed something.

Watched last night: Eurotrip and Daltry Calhoun

Post by: Cham Zord on April 12, 2006, 12:22:38 PM
In my opinion, it's not so much that it was trying too hard to be something, but that it tried too hard to embellish things that had little to do with the plot (such as the people around him trying to subconciously stop him from doing whatever it was he had to do).

Back on topic, I'm checking into the Matrix again. I need to really get around to the sequels, although I heard they aren't as good.

Usual Suspects doesn't deserve what it gets, I mean it was an OK caper kind of movie but no way in hell does it deserve it's current place on the imdb top 250 (15th). A friend told me that if I like Fight Club so much I should check out Usual Suspects and it would "blow my mind." Oh yeah, real shocking twist. Maybe it was because I'd seen K-Pax first but I had figured out the "twist" five minutes into the thing.

 Usual Suspects kicks ass.

After Wild Bunch watch Man Bites Dog not a Peckinpah movie but it is a great movie. Mike started a thread here about how great it is.

Well, although it doesn't deserve to be #15 in IMDB's Top 250, a lot of those votes are biased and done by voters who just want to see movies they like be high up there.

Anyway, I'm watching the Shawshank Redemption right now. (#2 in the Top 250. XD)

Aw, man, I wish I could've seen that.

I finally looked into Cannibal Holocaust. It's pretty gruesome, yes, especially because some of it (tortoise mutilation, anyone?) was real, but, like all other movies, once you get past the fact that the vast majority of it is acting, it goes down well.

Night before Card Captor Sakura and Hellsing.

Night before that watched Chobits(which stopped working part way thru disc 2) and part of a studio gibli(sp?) collection that strated screwing up on the second movie. Then started Hellsing.

Watched a few other things but i don't rememebr what they were offhand.

Yeah Dawn was awesome. Fast zombies are weird.

Just watched the Da Vinci Code. I figured I'd hate it since I hate Dan Brown and his horrible plots but I, unlike everyone else in the world, actually enjoyed the movie better than the book. I'd give a 7.75/10.

I watched the remake of The Bad News Bears the other night. The one with Billy Bob Thornton as Morris Buttermaker. It was meh. It had it's moments but the kids in the original were far more entertaining. I got it for $3 bucks on VHS from Toys R Us.

I watched Waterworld a few days ago. I picked that one up at a thrift for $2. I'd like to see the extended version on DVD. Some of the scenes cut for the theatrical release really explain some of the scenes that made no sense.

I agree Memoirs of a Geisha was a good movie.

Tonight I watched Lucky#Slevin  (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425210/)and I must say it was the best movie I've seen in few months.
So if anyone has not seen it go get it.

i just got done watching Chaos (from Netflix)

it was absoluletly the most horrific and brutal movie i have ever seen

here is the description from DDD

http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=RZD000375


my god.....i recommend that no one ever watch this movie....ever.....

i started watching the special features (of a tour throw the LA Morgue) and i had to turn the movie off....i thought i might puke.....


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Izret101 on October 09, 2006, 10:49:49 PM
Watched Monsters Inc with Sophia and Shannon today.
I got more into the movie than she did though. Kept me busy while doing C# homework lol

Anyways i still love that movie.

And watched Dark Water(i think it was called) before i got home with Shannon.
Horror movie, mother is going thru divorce. Moves into creepy apartment in Brooklyn. Daughter gets an imaginary friend who is actually the dead girl who lived in the apartment upstairs.

It was a decent movie. Glad it was free though.


EDIT
The guy on the cover of Chaos kinda reminds me of Kain from the Command and Conquer series.
Long live the Brotherhood!

From IMDB

Plot Summary: Possibly the most brutal film ever made, Chaos is a cautionary tale of two teens who throw themselves into harms way...

http://imdb.com/title/tt0405977/

This is a great line from a review on IMDB.

This film is as pleasant as rolling in excrement and then washing it off with four year old urine. I can't see anyone actually enjoying a film this bad. I won't describe anything because I know people will want to see this just because no one will ever enjoy it. Its like driving pass a car wreck, you got to look, its in our nature.

I just got done watching Grandma's Boy and X3:  The Last Stand from Netflix.  I have to say, both were really good movies.  Grandma's Boy was pretty funny and it's all about video games and nerdy gamers.  X3 was just a great comic book movie....with an amazing ending....also, if you have it or rent it and haven't done so, fast forward through all of the end credits....there is an extra bonus scene at the end of the credits........

For the job I have at my Grad. School, we have to attend diversity and leadership programs and seeing this film was one of them, so I couldn't make it to the showing at the school, so I rented it instead.

Went to the movies and watched Saw III last night with Vicky. Don't think she watched any of it though she just seemed to be looking at my shoulder with her fingers in her ears. Shes so gay sometimes.
Anyway I though the story was a little bit crap and the whole movie just seemed to be a set-up to show as much gore as possible. The section with the brain surgery was quite disturbing.

Watched Kingpin and Xmen3: the Last Stand over the weekend. X3 exceeded my expectations...it was very good. And I loved the ending (definitely watch past the credits).

Kingpin was good, too, but not the Farrelly brothers's best work, imo. Randy Quaid was great as the Amish guy, though. Hokey ending, but definitely worth seeing.

There's a programme about parole on BBC. Apparently 45% of people in prisons can't read or write. I can't comprehend how people can go for forty years without being able to read.

There's some foreign guy who's been in prison for nineteen years and still can't speak English.

I answered it and there was a pause... "HI THERE!"

Post by: James on November 17, 2006, 06:24:50 PM
I've watched it quite a few times now because it's good. The only problem is it's 3hrs 15mins long.

It doesn't really drag on, though. Despite being set entirely along a river in the jungle, the scenes are always changing. They go from attacking a village and surfing afterwards/during the attack to a stageshow with Playboy bunnies soon after, and on to a French settlement a long way up the river. It's about the woes and pointlessness of war and ends on a line from the target; "The horror... The horror..."

The first time I watched it I was left wondering why they didn't show the journey back down the river, but then I realised they had no need once it had climaxed. The whole story was building up to this one moment, showing them pooting merrily back down the river would have just added a boring half hour to the end of it.

A lot of people have compared these two movies for some reason, I guess because they came out at the same time. But Borat so obviously is the better movie it isn't even funny (actually it is pretty damn funny). Hmm, let's go see a crapfest about people being killed in creative ways or lets go see some dudes crazy awesome social experiment.

People who don't like Borat don't get Borat. People who sue Borat don't get Borat.  People who say they like Borat, but don't get Borat, are idiots. People who get Borat, and like it, are awesome because I'm in that group.

I thought borat was funny too.
But if anything it was too short.

I wanted to see more rediculous antics or at least longer sections of the rediculous antics.

Saw 3 happened to be running at the same time as Borat thats why i said Saw 3.

If Happy Feet had been running i would have said i was glad to go see Borat ;)

The wife and I watch the first two parts of "From Here to Eternity" (1979, five hour) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078616/) not the 1953 movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045793/). But we had things to do, so now I have to wait until it is on again(Friday, Nov. 24) because it is not on DVD.

So far I think it is a very good film.

Just watched Brothers, a foreign film (Danish w/ English subs) about 2 brothers, one of whom goes to Afghanistan and is presumed dead after a plan crash, the other who takes care of his widowed wife and 2 daughters

very good movie, and who would have thought there would be a movie about a war over there that wasn't about the US

Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 - An ok time filler. It wasn't particularly bad but it was all right.

Hellraiser - Amusing but could have been so much better. They needed more "horror" in it.


For about $3 each, they're good enough.

The flash back scene at the end, when Woo Jin is on the elevator, is one of the most awesome and powerful scenes I've ever seen in a movie.

Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior) is really the only good one. Mad Max 1 is alright, but has little relevance and makes little sense compared to the last two movies. MM 3 has too much budget for it's own good, and Tina Turner, and it's pg-13!!!!! WTF? Mad Max can't be pg-13!!
But I suppose it's entertaining.

Did you watch Firefly before seeing the movie?
I think that would make a huge difference.  I don't think they spent enough time introducing the characters in the movie for people who didn't see the TV series.  I thought the movie was pretty good, a great improvement over the TV series.  (Sci-Fi doesn't work well enough on TV for me, I need to see decent special effects in a space movie.)

I watched V for Vendetta with my family. They all enjoyed it. As usual, dad came in halfway and kept shuffling and huffing like he does when he can't get into a film. But he said he liked it.

Another reason to not spend time with my family, dad is getting noticeably old. He keeps making randomly politically incorrect comments. :-\

Just got back from Apocolypto. It wasn't what I thought it'd be, which was some scathing mind shattering statement from Mel Gibson, rather, it was just an mildly entertaining action movie with lots of gore. Extremely well done "period" piece.

2 days ago i saw Happy Feet.
Today i saw Akira and Brewsters Millions.

All of wich were pretty good.

I liked how in Happy Feet they got PG by dropping the S in the word sex and still managed to put the penguins in quite a few sexual positions back to back.

I watched Seabiscuit last night..... so so movie......

I just got done watching Apocalypse Now ...... what a hippie load of crap ...... started out good, then it just went down the shitter .....

Now, I'm gonna watch Apocalypse Now Redux just for shits and giggles......maybe the extra 49 minutes on the already long 153 minute movie will improve it .....


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on January 10, 2007, 03:49:01 PM
Apocalypse Now is probably one of my favorite movies. Simply incredible. I agree there's bull crap you don't need, but altogether it's a masterpiece. What I like is that it isn't anti-war, it's anti- way the Vietnam war was fought.

That war was a disaster because we never committed to it fully. Our generals were fighting to maintain borders, which was a major mistake, and the media and career politicians were responsible in large part for the anti-war movement which has now turned half of this country into a bunch of pansie peace-fanatics.

And the extended version doesn't really help, especially if you don't like it.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: tholly on January 10, 2007, 03:58:58 PM
I generally like war movies and don't really take any sort of stands on war issues.......I like a good story, real or fictional.  This one started out awesome, it just went downhill sometime after I popped Disc 2 in ..... had the whole Kurtz thing been done differently, I might have liked the movie ....... he was just way to far out there for me .... way to unbelievable ... no matter how close to the truth it possibly was ....

It was crazy however seeing Ford as such a young actor....

today i watched the following (as it was my last day before going back to my part time job and second to last day before starting up grad. school for the semester, so i plowed through a few more movies....still trying to get caught up on my back log)....

Birth Of A Nation, the first American full-length motion picture, 1915 movie, black and white, silent, and 192 minutes long (Yes, 3 hours and 12 minutes).....decent movie that I hadn't seen before...gives a pretty big insight into the climate of the south during this time period during and after the Civil War.....

Feast, a pretty crappy bloodfeast / horror movie.....

Sin City, an excellent story, decent acting, and a unique use of color / black and white......

Post by: tholly on January 19, 2007, 09:20:30 PM
watched the following wednesday night.....

Johnny Mnemonic (1995) - B+

Reason for score -- classic futuristic computer / technology movie with Keanu and some cheesy graphics....

watched the following last night....

Psycho - Collector's Edition (1998) - D+

Reason for score -- I never saw the original, but this one had to be worse....probably some of the worst acting I've seen in a while, and Vaughn was terrible in this one....

The Fast And The Furious (1954) - C

Reason for score -- just your normal, predictable good girl falls in love with the bad guy who is really a good guy......nothing special, and not really anything like the popular recent times remake / film of the same title......

watched the following tonight....

Rest Stop (2006) - D-

Reason for score -- pretty dumb movie.....I hate supposed horror movies that 1) aren't scary and 2) the people in them do stupid stuff that gets them killed (instead of doing what any normal person would do to stay alive)....

Hollow Man 2 (2006) - C-

Reason for score -- nothing great....nothing the first one didn't do......

The Ice Harvest (2005) - B-

Reason for score -- just wasn't a very convincing movie....

I've seen the preview for The Ice Harvest a million times, and that makes it look good. But from all I hear that's not quite the case.

Breakfast At Tiffany's - Anniversary Edition (1961) - D+

Reason for score -- I don't know what the appeal of this movie is....the acting was subpar, the story was mediocre at best, and I just didn't feel any emotion....

National Lampoon Presents Lost Reality 2: More Of The Worst - Unrated (2005) - C+

Watched Jay and Silent Bob strike back, awesome, and Elephant; the movie about a school shooting. Elephant was incredibly crappy, attempting to be artsy it sometimes had scenes where it just showed the sky for five or more minutes. It could have been fifty minutes shorter and it had no message.

Hackers

Nerds in 1995 were so leetly lame.

one of my favorite movies of all time.... i have seen it 39 times (yes, that is an accurate count)....


Hackers 2 did however suck.....majorly....
They made a hackers 2 ?  I watched the first one quite a bit.  Another good show is Pirates of Silicon Valley.

Kinky Boots (2005) - A-

Reason for score -- really good UK comedy.....at times though, it seems like when they made the movie, they encoded the sound wrong....i did a lot of ups and downs with the volume control....very inconsistent......

I saw Sunday's Top Gear last night On Demand. It's getting stupider and stupider. They were trying to lay 1 1/2 miles of road in 24 hours. So they were dicking around being a bunch of pillocks as usual. Complete waste of council money. I expect they'll have to dig the road up again with the way they were doing it.

I do enjoy the tits and killing, it's just the acting and nonsensical storyline. It seemed to try and make me feel emotions when these nutjobs get killed.

Maybe Rob wanted the viewers to despise EVERY character in the movie but I just didn't get it. Maybe I need to see the first one.

Sherri Moon's pants were awesome though.

Star Wars Episode 2.

I've had this DVD for a long long time now but I've only just gotten round to watching it. Maybe it's because I have a stupidly short attention span but I think it's kind of boring. It's nothing special. It really doesn't stand out as a quality sci-fi, just like Babylon 5 Season 23 Episode 154.

I remember seeing Episode 1 in the cinema in 1999 and I thought it was great. Then I saw Episode 3 in the cinema, missing Episode 2. I thought that was ok.

I thought Royale 2 was good for just about the first half. I thought it was just about over just about the end of the first half. But then it went on for like seven more years and got more and more full of bullshit.

I don't care what the film makers views on the world are, I want to see Asian kids slaughtering each other.

I found The Wizard on my hard drive, so I've been watching it again. (It didn't come out on DVD here so that makes it ok, right?)

It's actually quite amusing. It's the sort of film you find while channel surfing during the day and you think it looks like some crap low budget film at first but it ends up being quite watchable.

Sunday's Top Gear. It was actually quite funny for once. They went to Miami and bought some cars for under $1000 each to go on a road trip to New Orleans. They got to Alabama and wrote some stuff on their cars like "Man-love rules ok", "Country and western is rubbish", "Hillary for president" and "Nascar sucks". They stopped to fill up with petrol and the owner of the station called "The Boys". A bunch of rednecks turned up on the back of a pickup and threw stones at the camera crew then chased them down the road in their pickup.

A lot of the "shock" stuff on Top Gear seems made up but this looked real, which made it funny.

Ghost Busters 2 was on Sky One. I only just realised they were using an NES Advantage to control the Staue of Liberty. Very high tech. I'm in a weird mood where I want to watch lots of action/adventure films from the late 80s and early 90s. I feel a spending spree coming on.

Top Gear.

They tried to launch a Reliant Robin into "space", which obviously meant anywhere off the ground. It seemed stupid which is why Clarkson didn't want anything to do with it. The launch came and it actually got off the ground. The booster rockets detatched. Up until then it looked a lot like a little model rocket. But then the big tank didn't disconnect and it rocketed into the ground in a nice big explosion, proving it was the full size rocket.

Late 2007 I believe, and I think they'll be almost simultaneous releases. The second one is going to be killer, as allot of characters long gone from the series are expected to make an appearance. It'd be awesome to see Apophis, Jaocb Carter, General Hammond, Doctor Frasier, Jonas Quinn etc.

That reminds me, Babylon 5: The Lost Tales will be coming out in a few months, woohoo!!

WTF a few of those people are dead.

As much as I like Stargate, B5 is still teh best TV show of all time. I wish Crusade would of lasted more then 13 episodes. Sounded like some cool stuff was going to happen with Gallen and the Technomages.

just watched....

Crash Test - (2003) - F-

Reason for score -- this movie is now my "worst movie i have ever seen".....awful camera work, terrible acting, no need to be black and white, just an all around awful movie that felt like it was made by a six year old......

Titicut Follies - (1967) - C+

Reason for score -- decent documentary, but even as a psychology grad. student, this movie wasn't amazingly informative, but at least they got some changes to take place based on their work.....

Escape From New York.

New York 1997
In a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted to a walled prison where brutal prisoners roam.


I like to look at old movies with a view on the future, even if it's completely fictional and not a prediction at all. It makes you wonder what the real future will be like. It's also funny to look at "future" technology from 1982. Snake had a tracking device which was the size of a brick and just had a flashing light on it.

Pink Floyd The Wall came in the post today. I chose free delivery from Amazon and they've sent my two items separately, this one was sent first class. I don't think the other one has been dispatched yet.

The Wall was odd. I tried linking the different scenes but then it just ended.

Watched Stranger than Fiction again. It's got such potential, then is ruined by its atrociously Hollywood ending. I mean it's a movie about a book, it wasn't going to make any money anyways, so why not go with the good, meaningful, ending and gain a larger cult following?


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: James on March 14, 2007, 08:50:49 AM
Being John Malkovich.

I saw it a long time ago and got the DVD yesterday. I liked it. It's weird and well acted, apart from the bits where someone enters Malkovich's body and he had a spasm.

Sooooo much Quantum Leap.

I'll probably be watching more Quantum Leap later.

As well as Dune.

1st and Ten the Complete Series.

this is an old 80's series that was on HBO about a fictitious pro football team called the California Bulls. It's pretty good but kind of creepy at the same time as it stars O.J. Simpson as T. D. Parker.

an episode I watched last night featured a guest appearance by AC Cowlings, driver in the infamous low-speed bronco chase.

Watched
Inuyasha Season 1 Disc 1
and
Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe.

I hadn't seen Hitchhikers Guide and while it was good it was just a bit over hyped.
I have been told reading the book is a must.
Apparently the book, movie, novellas, etc are all different but more or less the same.

Pink Floyd - Pulse, Part 2

I'd love to have been at this concert, but I was only seven at the time and didn't even know who Pink Floyd were. I watched the second DVD with mum who enjoyed it.

Less than three weeks to the Australian Pink Floyd concert!

The Omega Man.

Crap...Vampires make much more sense than the black cloaked mutants, who can be killed with bullets, that populated the post apocalyptic world of this movie. Charlton Heston definitely could have pwnfisted all the wussy mutants.

Anyways, Hollywood missed the point of I Am Legend, as they miss the point of everything, and tried to make a movie that appealed to hippies.

Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on March 21, 2007, 04:32:03 AM
Once Upon a Time in the West - not Sergio Leone's best, boring, mediocre acting.

Dark City - Awesome, nice sci-fi, superior to the Matrix.

Crank - Also awesome, the ending blew my mind because I never thought they would do it. Probably my new favorite new movie.



Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Izret101 on March 21, 2007, 05:04:00 PM
Inuyasha Season 1 disc 2

Garden State - It was... different. I liked it though. Had Zach Braff the dude from Scrubs in it.

You spend the whole movie getting acquainted with these two main characters and then bam, Leo's character is killed by some dude who had only had a cameo prior to the event and Damon is killed by an unexplained hitman. It's a letdown. I'll explain more later if you want, but now food is ready.

Fine go watch it, then come back here and you can tell others how bad it sucked. It's 2 1/2 hours of your life you will never get back.

I have been enthralled lately by that show Man vs. Wild. Only every episode is almost the same, just in a different setting.

Planet Earth is also excellent. Between that, M vs. W and the fact that I can't bring myself to delete any third season episodes of the Office, my DVR is getting awfully full!

The Descent.

For some reason I actually found it slightly creepy. It might have been because I couldn't make anything out so I made up my own story as I went along. It probably turned out for the best because there wasn't much of a story there anyway.

I rate this D out of Suck.

Sonic The Hedgehog:  The Complete Series (Disc 1 - Episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7) - (1993) - C

Reason for score -- i got this thinking it was the show i watched when i was younger.....apparently the show i used to watch was "Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog"  .... a completely different show that still used Steve Urkel as the voice for Sonic......this show kinda sucks.....as compaired to the one i liked to watch....but, that one comes out July of 2007 on DVD, so ill get that one when it comes out.....

I saw Night Watch last night.
It was pretty good but i think they tried to squeeze to much into one film.

It is supposed to be part of a trilogy so maybe if i can see the rest of them it will complete it better.

Also there is a novel out so that might be good to get ahold of to.

"Indeed".  ;) Once you get to season 5 and 6 the show isn't so much a singular adventure per episode as it was in the first 4. Ongoing plots and story arcs will mess you up if you don't watch them in order. Seasons 7 and 8 are the best of the series IMO.

I am closing in on disc 3 season 5 now.
I haven't seen 99% of the Stargate series so every episode is new to me but Aubrey ends up skipping soem of them and filling me in on them when i have questions later.

Maybe some day i will start rewatching them all from the begining again.

Arrested Development Season 3

I watched the last 6 (or was it 7) episodes in a row. Amazing show, the entire series could have been one huge ass movie. Awesome stuff. If we're supposed to rate it I give it an A+. Easily my favorite TV show.

American History X

Great movie, but it felt like a dumbed down Clockwork Orange on so many levels. It wasn't as brutal as it should have been, as in how harsh the skinheads are, how terrible prison was, etc. It just wasn't as rough or raw as it should have been. B

just took a break from homework and watched...

Man On The Moon - (2000) - C

Reason for score -- i don't know about this one....i know andy wasn't supposed to  be funny, but then why advertise a non-funny movie as a comedy....i don't know, i just didn't quite like this one....


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: tholly on April 29, 2007, 09:34:55 PM
had on in the background while working on stats (just to get it off the pending to watch list)....

Charlie's Angels:  Superbit Deluxe - (2000) - C-

Reason for score -- repeat viewing, mediocre movie....also, barrymore really pisses me off....she is a terrible actress....

Catching up on Season 7.
Aubrey kept watching while i was at work/"resting" this morning.

EDIT
Oh yea of Stargate SG1.
Not like i hadn't mentioned it before...

I'm just kinda sick of missing episodes in various seasons.
And that would have been a huge lot of eps i missed.

Idiocracy - (2005) - D

Reason for score -- what a complete and utter waste of time.....

just watched....from netflix...

Deliver Us From Evil - (2006) - B

Reason for score -- good documentary about a horrible topic.....nothing like this ever happened to me, but that stuff like this happens is among the many reasons why i no longer believe in faith, religion, etc.... i now consider myself an atheist...

Armageddon: The Criterion Collection - (1998) - B+

Armageddon: The Criterion Collection - (1998) - B+

Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on May 10, 2007, 09:06:51 PM
Stupid plot, nonsensical plot, impossible action, cliched characters, damn straight it doesn't belong in the Criterion collection.

I just thought it was sooooooo stupidly ridiculous.

In other news I watched Spanglish from a distance and Tea Leoni is hawt in a weird sort of way.

The Rock:  The Criterion Collection - (1996) - B+

Humain, trop humain ( Human, Too Human ): The Documentaries Of Louis Malle - Eclipse Series 2: The Criterion Collection - (1974) - D

Reason for score -- pretty poor documentary.....almost the entire thing had no dialogue or commentary....i would have at least liked some comentary to better understand what was going on or how the workers felt......

Place de la république: The Documentaries Of Louis Malle - Eclipse Series 2: The Criterion Collection - (1974) - B+

Reason for score -- pretty good documentary of the lives of random indivdiuals on the street.......

just got done watching (have been watching it over the past 3 days....)

Phantom India (Inde fantôme, L'):  The Documentaries Of Louis Malle - Eclipse Series 2:  The Criterion Collection - (1969) - B

Reason for score -- yes, this is the 363 minute (aka 6 hour and 3 minute) french documentary about india....split over 7 episodes......while it was good, it wasn't amazing and i definitely could have cut about 3 hours out of this one......malle focused on certain things for just way too long.....

Stomp The Yard - (2007) - B

just got done watching .....

Calcutta:  The Documentaries Of Louis Malle - Eclipse Series 2:  The Criterion Collection - (1969) - A

Reason for score -- i was deeply touched by this one.....the scenes with the lepers were very real / horrific....  also, i was, well, i don't know what adjective to use, but i was xxx at the idea that these people were drinking and bathing in water that i wouldn't even use as toilet water......it's hard to believe the unimaginable suffering that occurs in this world.....and its sad to know that middle class US citizens think they have it bad when these people don't even have enough food to eat......plus, the scene where the UNICEF donations have "Donated by the United States" written in 17 different languages was amazing....only the US would advertise its generosity like that........utterly appaling.....

just got done watching....from netflix....

Blood Diamond - (2006) - A

Lemon Jelly: 64-95

It's a trippy music DVD. I used to really be into them but they seem kind of repetitive now. Good for when you're not paying attention to the music and just want a tune on. The DVD is pretty psychedelic. There were a few clips on Youtube if you want to check it out.

I found it amusing that in the sound set up part of the DVD there was an option for "Dobly 5.1". You'd think they would have caught that before it went to print.

Been horribly addicted to the O.C. lately.. I rejected it for years, but watched one episode with my girlfriend and was instantly hooked. Hooked to the point of watching essentially 2 full seasons in a week.

It feels good to finally get that off my chest. It's hard to admit you watch a show like the O.C. :)

Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on June 05, 2007, 01:09:34 AM
I watched Pan's Labyrinth and was a bit unimpressed. It was OK, much more violent than I expected, graphic violence in movies is getting a bit out of hand it seems, story was predictable, knew the gist from the first scene. Well made, perhaps it was brilliant and I've just seen too many movies.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: tholly on June 05, 2007, 06:07:22 PM
i cancelled my netflix (for the summer....more time for the pool and work)...anyway, wathced my last 3 movies....

6-2

Letters From Iwo Jima - (2007) - D

Reason for score -- this one was really boring....nothing amazing at all....

6-3

Because I said So - (2006) - B

Reason for score -- way too predictable....just got it because gabi wanted to see it.....

6-4

Flyboys - (2006) - B

Reason for score -- could have been good, but it was too long and drug on a lot.....

Fear and Loathing Criterion is well worth the $28.99+ tax that best buy charges for it

or you can get it from deepdiscount.com who has their 20% off sale going on right now (free shipping always)

some of the valid 20% off codes are "YAHOO" & "XM" but you can google for others.....

Been watching Stargate Atlantis Season 1. I just finished that up and my cousin bought me season 2 so I started on that. Also started watching Deadliest Catch. DC is a crazy ass show.

I finished Atlantis season 2 a while ago, they seem to get better and better every season, wait until you watch the season three finale.  :o

Also finished watching Jericho season 1. A shame with that show it was damn good.

The Ninth Gate

Is that any good?^

It wasn't that bad but i think it was because i didn't dedicate myself fully to the viewing experience.

It was kinda interesting, kinda broing and drawn out and totally needed more nakedness.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on June 12, 2007, 05:35:21 PM
When I was a youngling the mum would never let me rent it because of the nakedness on the back cover.

I watched Phase IV over dinner with mum this evening.

Odd.

I laughed when the one guy said "And now I shall counter with 100% yellow!" then pressed a yellow button, making some pipes spray some yellow stuff.

Holy crap, we don't. Even the "good" ones are crap. Some fat 48 year old woman dressed as Madonna (With that outfit) pranced around to a Missy Elliot song and got through to the next round! Another man was whistling while his wife wobbled a veil through the air. There was a group of 6-7 year old girls dancing like they came from a strip club who got through because you can't call 6 year olds sluts to their faces.

That was the last movie i saw in Mass.
I thought it was awesome.

Loved how they had all kinds of examples of 23 in everyday life and not so everyday life.

My buddy ended up messing around finding 23s in stuff to.
Or was he just messing around....

i want to see blood diamond, let me know how it is bad.

If you like Leonardo DiCaprio, you'll probably enjoy it quite a bit. It's a pretty run of the mill story made better by the acting, Jennifer Connelly's face and the fact that the environment is (somewhat) realistic. It's probably sensationalized but places like this did/do exist.

Going to either watch Me and You and Everyone We Know or The Good Shepherd before bed.

I watched Me and You and Everyone We Know last night.. woah. Bizzare is all I can say. Really artsy independent movie that will probably take multiple viewings and some internal reflection to get as much out of it as it seems like I should.

Part of me likes to try and figure out movies like this, and part of me feels dumb for not fully understanding it the first time. I will probably give it a few days and watch it again (It's quite short at only 80 or so minutes, so watching it again won't be tough).

Saving Planet Earth (David Attenborough)

It's a starter episode about how humans are damaging the Earth. It sounds like hippy crap but it shows how amazing the Earth is. I often forget what goes on in the world outside the man-made parts of South England. I enjoy walking the dogs in the woods because it's the nearest I can get to a "wilderness" which is what they were talking about in this episode, how the Earth's wildernesses are diminishing. Humans have altered over 70% of the Earth's land.

I didn't realise David Attenborough is 80 years old! And still presenting nature programmes.

This turned hippy crap last night. They had a gay pop singer in the jungle with some gorillas crying about how magnificent they are. Then they had people holding some polaroid style pictures of a gorilla's face while they stared into the camera. I have no idea what point they were trying to make. But after that they went into "Give us money" mode.

The preview for tonight's show was a news reader being attacked by a tiger. It had better be good.

I watched Saw III last night. It wasn't as gruesome as I thought it was going to be. It had some pretty bad acting at the start. Very early 90s action movie style acting for the first 10-20 minutes. "It's ok. It's not your fault."   "I know, but *sigh* ever since the incident... I don't know. I just haven't been the same" Or something along those lines.

Top Gear Goes To The North Pole

It was entertaining but as usual with Top Gear some of it was questionable. Also, I didn't really like them swearing, drink driving and showing frost bitten penises before 9pm.

They were trying to get to the North Pole. Richard Hammond with dogs and a sled, James May and Jeremy Clarkson in a Toyota Hilux pickup truck. Clarkson and May "won". They drove in a circle at the end trying to find the exact spot on the gps, then called Hammond to say they had made it. May added "Hi, Richard. Bad luck. Bye". Hammond said "Oh." Then that was pretty much the end of it.

I've been watching the news a bit too.  I'm no civil engineer, but I'm flummoxed as to why it would come down under a regular load like it did.  There were no fatal flaws in design or construction, and certainly no resonance/aerodynamics phenomena like Tacoma Narrows.  Now for something of poor design, the Twin Cities' traffic layout has always been poor yielding rush hour traffic throughout most of the day.  Maybe they'll correct that mess because this may take a year or two to get resolved.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: BadEnoughDude on August 02, 2007, 06:13:47 PM
The traffic on that road was awful. Estimates put the daily traffic on that road somewhere between 100,000 and 140,000 cars per day, and experts point primarily to the high volume of large vehicles that use that route (semis, busses, etc).

Whatever they decide the reason was, this is certainly one of the most tragic and surreal things I have ever experienced. Everyone in both cities will certainly feel the effects of this for years.

K-Pax - (2004) - B

Reason for score -- I still haven't decided what I thought about it completely.....

It seemed like someone watched The Usual Suspects and wanted to use the same character type and hey, what do you know, the same actor.

I saw this before TUS and found myself thinking all throughout it that Spacey was probably going to be something other than what he seemed.

Bridge to Terabithia - Not sure, liked it I guess.
Flags of Our Fathers - Had to fast forward some of it, but pretty good.

I saw the second half of a documentary called something like Enemies of Reason. It seemed ok but was kind of very biased - although I did agree with it I could see it offending some people. It was about superstitious people being debunked. Some dowsers were tested to see if they could actually find water with some coat hangers but none of them showed any skill over chance.

Overall it didn't really seem to have a point other than saying superstitious people are knobs.

I agree the Bourne movies are awesome and they are better then most Bond movies, but I thought the new Bond movie Casino Royale was awesome and that same actor is going to make two more movies as Bond.


Earlier I watched...
I Think I Love My Wife and Live Free Or Die(not the newest Die Hard movie). Live Free Or Die was good, but nothing great. As for I Think I Love My Wife I could have done with out. I will never get that hour and a half of my life back.

Just finished season 2 of 'The Wire.' A good season, but not as good as the first. Not enough Omar, VERY anti-climactic ending, too many loose ends. I will probably start season 3 tomorrow (or later tonight if the Vikings game is bad), so we'll see where that goes.

The Wizard, btw what is wrong with this dvd release.  There are two options on the menu screen.  Play and Sound,  not even a scene select.  I'd have released it with the SMB 3 commercial and alot of extra's.  At the very least a scene select, that way I could jump to the scene with lukas.  "I love the power glove, it's soo bad."

I watched Heat yesterday but couldn't get into it at all and after a couple of interuptions I decided to give up on it. There were people in the film coming in from nowhere then disappearing for a while, then having an offhand mention later. Then suddenly there was an awesome gunfight in which it seemed no one had ever fired a gun before, missing shots everywhere.

12 Monkeys again. Great movie.

I must've seen that one about 4 or 5 times! Very underrated. It also inspired me to see the Alfred Hitchcock movie Vertigo (a classic)!

Catching up on classic Twilight Zones on my DVR from Sci-Fi channel.

The opening game to the 2007 rugby world cup. France Vs Argentina. It was kind of crummy with lots of slips and mistakes. Argentina won with 17 points against France's 12.

There are a lot more games tomorrow, the most important one for me being New Zealand Vs Italy at 1pm. Except I'm meeting someone at 1pm. :(

It was funny because i was saying that i would like that disney kid who stars in it (and Transformers) would probably look better with some bad ass scars or burn marks and should get into a fiery car crash.
And low and behold 10 minutes in BAD ASS CAR CRASH.

Anyways it was pretty good.

Rugby World Cup 2007

New Zealand Vs Scotland

20 - 0 (Half Time)

New Zealand aka The All Blacks (Named after their uniform) are playing in light blue and dark blue, Scotland are playing in dark blue and light blue. If New Zealand are playing in different colours to avoid a clash between kits I have no idea why they're wearing the ones they are. It's very hard to tell who is who with their exact opposite kits.

It's not been a good game, partly because I can't tell who has the ball and partly because it's been slow.



Edit: It finished 40 - 0. Here's a picture of the two teams to show what their uniforms were like.




I just watched National Treasure with Nicholas Cage. It was quite enjoyable. Lots of bullshit but it was entertaining.

Edit2: Now I'm watching "The IT Crowd". It's a comedy about some I.T. technicians in an office block. They live in the basement and do nerdy things. It's really funny. As indicated by the smiley I'm about to use. ->  :laugh:

I bought a TV tuner card for my PC today. Unfortunately I don't have a digital aerial so I can only get three fuzzy analogue channels. :(

But console games look good on it. :) Apart from recording, then there's a 2-10 second delay depending on the recording quality. Screenshots can be taken without recording but it's kind of hard to use a controller and take screenshots at the same time.

Right now I'm watching the children's news.
"What do you think of this fancy new product?"
"I think it's great because it's good."
"It's really really excellent because it's so amazing. I don't think it can be improved in any way."

It's funny hw adults have their little interview phrases like "At the end of the day" and kids have their standard answers like "It's really nice".

I managed to pick up some digital channels on my TV card. It turns out it was a software problem, so it's a good job I persevered instead of just putting it down to not having a working aerial. I've got 55 Freeview channels, about 25 of which are BBC. :P It's a good picture but it gets a little jumpy sometimes.

Watching BBC News 24 at the moment.

Shaun The Sheep on CBBC. It's a children's claymation that's actually funny. It's in the style of Wallace and Grommit (Shaun is from "A Close Shave") and it's about a flock of sheep on a farm. There's a farmer and his dog, and a few other animals. No speach other than grunts and gasps.

I think it's the mannerisms that make it.

Bollocks.

Rugby World Cup 2007. Quarter Finals.

New Zealand - 18

France - 20


It was a very tense game and France ended up winning on an illegal try after a forward pass. If New Zealand had scored their attempt at a drop goal in the last two minutes they would have won by 1 point.

I'm more than a little pissed off. >:(  :grrr:

Rugby World Cup 2007 Semi Final

England Vs France

It was a very tense game, as they should be in the last few matches. France were ahead 9-8 until the last 5 minutes when England scored a penalty putting them 2 points ahead. Then England scored a drop goal in the last 2 minutes, putting them 5 points ahead. If France had scored a try they would have been level, if they had converted the try they would have been 2 points ahead and won. But they didn't. ;D

England - 14
France - 9

Now England are through to the Final.

Rugby World Cup 2007 Final

England - 6

South Africa - 15


Utter bollocks. The whole World Cup tournament has been complete bollocks. Too much kicking, not enough free play where the players run with the ball, too many bad calls by the officials.

That was how i felt about it.


Watched:
Soul Survivors: The Killer Cut

When the DVD is starting up there is Reality, Dream, Nightmare.
We picked Nightmare.
It made no sense at all.
We probably should have just watched reality. Maybe it wouldn't have been so absolutely and completely lackluster and slightly understandable.

Stuff I watched and am watching recently:

Battle Royale: OMG what an awesome movie. Ultraviolence at it's finest.

Saw IV: I liked it! What I like about the Saw series, despite the fact that it's getting a little predictable, is that they're still intelligent movies.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: I never really got inot this show. I was more of a Sealab 2021 person. I truly was missing out.

Bleach: Great story and characters. I can't wait to get the box set.

Die Hard 4.0

I saw it in the cinema and enjoyed it so we rented it for my birthday. £3.95 for 1 night! ( :pirate: ) We usually laugh at and pick apart movies I thought were good in the cinema. We did the usual picking apart but it's a classic action movie so the unbelievable bits were fine.

UEFA Qualifiers (Football)

England Vs Croatia

England needed to draw in order to go to the UEFA tournament. It's like the world cup for Europe. Guess what happened. They lost. The game was pitiful. Everyone is blaming the newish coach but he's not the one kicking the ball around.

I usually support not-England but that's only fun when they're actually doing well. It feels odd that they actually did extraordinarily badly.

I like the X-Men movies better than the FF movies. Although, I must admit the FF movies seem to have more humor in them.

And Spiderman 3 was pretty bad. Spiderman 2 was the best so far out of that series, imo.

Saw "I am Legend" last night.

Overall, a very entertaining movie and worth seeing at the theatre. It should get nominations for Sound and Sound Effects. Possibly makeup.

My only complaints are that there's a ridiculous amount of product placement in the 1st 10-15 minutes (which distracts from the action), there's not quite enough backstory to tie in everything that happened, and that the entertainment value largely depends on the audience's ability to suspend one's own disbelief. If you're able to do so, the movie is a 3 out of 4 stars; if you cannot suspend your disbelief so much, and you pick through the plotholes, it's a 2.5.

Wil Smith did a very good job, acting and action-wise.

Go see it...but at matinee prices. ;D

In the book they are not really vampires either. Neville questions how chemical warfare could turn someone into a vampire. Through research he discovers it's a bacterial infection that causes the vampire symptoms.

He finds that it's not actually a wooden stake through the heart that kills them but any puncture wound with an object that holds the wound open long enough for air to enter the bloodstream.

And the fear of crosses only affected those who were of a christian religion. An atheist vampire had no fear of a cross.

Same with the garlic it wasn't specifically garlic but something in the chemical makeup of it, in the book onions had the same effect.

Damn! Long overdue. It's a classic.


As far as the monsters in "I am Legend", they were more like the speedy zombies in the Dawn of the Dead remake from a few years ago. And it really didn't bother me that they weren't vampires since I never read the book.

Watched a couple full eps and then bits and pieces of a old TV series called Earth2.

From what i saw it wasn't that bad but apparently it was a failed early 90s show that was on FOX.

Depends on what you are looking for in a movie. I wasn't looking to be moved to tears.. I was just looking for a campy, corny horror movie and that's exactly what I got.

I finally watched Transformers last night before bed. Pretty decent.. the effects were terrific. They made huge robots look as real as they can possibly look. Oh, and Megan Fox is freakin' hot, which made it infinitely more watchable. Wowzers.

Saw "I am Legend" last night.

Overall, a very entertaining movie and worth seeing at the theatre. It should get nominations for Sound and Sound Effects. Possibly makeup.

My only complaints are that there's a ridiculous amount of product placement in the 1st 10-15 minutes (which distracts from the action), there's not quite enough backstory to tie in everything that happened, and that the entertainment value largely depends on the audience's ability to suspend one's own disbelief. If you're able to do so, the movie is a 3 out of 4 stars; if you cannot suspend your disbelief so much, and you pick through the plotholes, it's a 2.5.

Wil Smith did a very good job, acting and action-wise.

Go see it...but at matinee prices. ;D




I just got back from seeing I Am Legend. I rate it a thumbs up out of three.

Did anyone else see Bill Turner from Pirates Of The Caribbean in the face of the main monster? The scene with the dog made me want to go home and cuddle my two dogs.

Just one point against it (Until I see it again, probably... then there will be more) - why did he keep a grenade in the "containment" area? Surely he wouldn't want the infected ones he's testing to get hold of it.

Good movie but there didn't seem to be a huge amount to the story, which probably isn't easy to do when the focus is on the last man alive.

I think the grenade was there just for the purpose it served - as a last resort, a last hurrah. I'm fairly certain that the 'infected' he was studying would not be interested in using any sort of weapons to attack, so this would not be a deterrent.

It's more of a 'chuckle' show than a 'laugh out loud' show, which I sort of appreciate on a certain level. I'm not sure if I could sit and watch episode after episode (like I can, and often do, with shows like The Office and Mr. Show), but it'll certainly provide an hour or so of entertainment once and a while :)

Really enjoyed it. The lingo got to be a bit much for me at times (awkward and forced), but the soundtrack was nice and the story was enjoyable. Oh, and I also knew all the places since it takes place in central Minnesota. That helps.

Castaway

It finishes at 1am and I have to be up at 7am, so I won't see all of it. I really enjoyed it the last few times, though. I like Tom Hanks movies.

Lost - Season One

I've never watched an episode before. I watched the first 4 last night. I think I'm hooked.

Lost is AWESOME!!!!


Watching Farscape.

I'll say. I blew through season one in a week. I'm 2 discs into season two. I really like this show. I don't have much going on this weekend so I figure I'll be dome with season two by Monday.

I watched Aerosmith: The Making of Pump last night. I got it at Goodwill for $1.33 and even though I'm not a huge Aerosmith fan, this was very interesting a good watch. It's really cool to see of their "home movies" and watch them be real people.

I finished the third season of Lost at about 5 am. It took me about 6 days to watch all three seasons in their entirety (after never seeing even a minute of an episode before last week).

This week was great for me.

New episode of The Wire was Sunday. It was the second-to-last episode, and it was just great. Easily one of the 4 or 5 best episodes they've done.

Lost was tonight, and it was probably my favorite episode of the season. The more Desmond epidoes the better, I say.

Watched Fido tonight. It's certainly a new take on zombie movies. Set in the 50's, it's essentially a cross between Leave it to Beaver and I, Robot. Definitely worth watching.

Oh, and Tom Maxwell did a song for the soundtrack, which I was pleasantly surprised to hear.

How was it predictable? It's ending is WHY most people don't like it and why movie critics DO like it--it's unpredictable and vague.

Add the great acting, script, and brutal action scenes, and you've got the year's best film.

 
I'd give it another careful watch or three before I called it trash.

No, I honestly just think it was a very poor movie that people seem to just like because it won an award, without taking into consideration how poor of a movie it really was.  I don't like when people base their opinions strictly off of a critics opinion without considering the movie fully themself. 

I haven't actually met a person in real life (non-internet) who has liked it.  And trust me, I like a lot of art house, artistic, etc. movies that most people hate, so I'm not just the type of person that will only watch Hollywood blockbusters.....

I liked it, and I saw it extremely early in it's theater run. It had nothing to do with the hype, or the fact that it won an award. It had to do with the fact that It was different, suspenseful and the ending was something completely different than anything I have seen recently.

Did you even watch it man? You're entitled to your own opinion and I'll let it go with this, but don't deny yourself a great motion picture simply because your mindset goes against the grain. No better for disliking it because of critics than liking it because of critics.

I myself saw this movie on its opening weekend and loved it, I saw it again a week after that. My only preconception to the movie was that it was a Coen brothers film and that I adore everything they have ever made. I have since read the book and would consider the movie the better piece of art.

How was it predictable? It's ending is WHY most people don't like it and why movie critics DO like it--it's unpredictable and vague.

Add the great acting, script, and brutal action scenes, and you've got the year's best film.

 
I'd give it another careful watch or three before I called it trash.

I will agree to disagree with you on this one...

Seems to me like you simply dislike it for it being liked.

Well, fight on man, fight on.


No, I honestly just think it was a very poor movie that people seem to just like because it won an award, without taking into consideration how poor of a movie it really was.  I don't like when people base their opinions strictly off of a critics opinion without considering the movie fully themself. 

I haven't actually met a person in real life (non-internet) who has liked it.  And trust me, I like a lot of art house, artistic, etc. movies that most people hate, so I'm not just the type of person that will only watch Hollywood blockbusters.....

Saw the movie in November, claimed it's brilliance then and knew it was going to be a classic. Am I a professional critic and I didn't know it?

Post by: Shimra on April 19, 2008, 08:35:28 AM
I don't think you'll be disappointed. Where No Country just kinda ends with the mysterious ending (which I thought was a terrible ending to an otherwise extremely entertaining movie), TWBB is a powerhouse movie all the way through with an excellent ending. Great acting, great character development, awesome tension between Plainview and Eli, overall just an excellent movie. However, we did watch it again recently, but with more people, and a few of the people really hated it which surprised the ones who had seen it and claimed it's brilliance. So I suppose it isn't for everyone.

Oh and I recently saw American Beauty. Topped Pan's Labyrinth as my favorite movie.

Last night I started watching Assault on Precinct 13 (2003) with mum. I didn't realise every other word was swearing. My sister turned up half way through so I used it as an excuse to stop watching it.

Then I went to Blockbuster to trade in some DVDs (Including Assault on Precinct 13) and got I Am Legend. I enjoyed it when I saw it in the cinema.

It's one of the best things that's ever been on TV. I don't want to call it the best, but it is in the top 10 things.

You give National Treasure an A but the new Indy a D because it insults the series. But if National Treasure were exactly the same, except with Harrison Ford playing Indy, I almost guarantee you would give it a lower score.

Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: tholly on May 28, 2008, 05:59:39 AM
Thing is, I liked National Treasure....it was at least plausable.  The new Indy, with its heavy focus on some ridiculous alien skull was just plan stupid.  They could have at least changed the story to make it at least somewhat believeable.

I used to feel that way, until I realized that every NBA player is the same. I can't very well hate him and not hate the rest of them, so I swore off hating NBA players and just focus on watching good basketball. This series is especially fun for me, since KG was a Wolf for so long. I'd really like to see him win a title.

My younger brother wanted me to see it with him in the cinemas originally, but once I heard it was a musical I really didn't want to, I would rather wait to rent it on DVD, no big loss that way as I could easily walk away.

Last night I watched Dr Who. It was the best episode they've had for a while. I really dislike Catherine Tate, so I was horrified to hear she was his sidekick in this season. She's actually not great. Dr Who is pretty cheesy but I think it's quite amusing sometimes. Last night's episode was the end of the world with a massive invasion from the Daleks. It ended with the Doctor regenerating on a cliff hanger. We need to wait until next week to see the rest of it.


Then I watched Pan's Labrynth. I like how it wasn't a soppy, romantic Disney/Hollywood film. Rather grim. The subtitles didn't hurt it at all. If anything, they added to the story-telling as if it was a picture book I was reading.

Hancock

I was lucky and our town got a somewhat advance showing.

Great movie.  There is a major plot twist in the middle of the movie that changes everything.  I wont give it away, but it left me with a lot of questions and the plot full of holes.  I guess that is what sequels are for.

Seriously? I thought it was garbage. It's seemed to have been written by a pot smoking energy drink junkie that had never fired a weapon--or read a screenplay for that matter--before. The acting was good except for McAvoy, who seemed a hollow shell. The action was sort of cool but it was presented in such a serious manner that I found it unbearable. Shoot 'em Up, for example, had similar crazy action scenes; but it didn't try to pass itself off as serious.

I just said it was better than I expected it to be :) I went in expecting to hate it, and I didn't. I thought McAvoy was terrible - whiny and repetitive. And I agree about the way the action was presented, and the way they 'received' their orders? Balogna. Do better.

The Day the Earth Stood Still on AMC. One of my favorites.

edit: I was just going to celebrate the fact that they hadn't wrecked the tradition of this movie by making a horrible remake. Turns out one is going to be released in December of this year starring - that's right - Keanu Reeves as Klaatu. They made a good decision casting Jennifer Connelly, and Jaden Smith was good in 'The Pursuit of Happiness.' We'll see how it turns out...

Hitman

It was watchable, but perhaps only because I knew what the games were about. Even I could see a few plot holes, and it was odd when it turned into a love story after about 1hr 10mins.

Also, I didn't realise she would get her boobs out so much, otherwise I wouldn't have watched it with mum over Sunday dinner.

Last night I watched Juno - Bleh. Too much like Napoleon Dynamite, although Juno was better.

Then I watched the newish Rocky. Halfway through I couldn't remember what the story was, so I decided it didn't have a story. Afterwards it became aparent it was a 5 minute story padded out with lots of shooting and explosions. Luckily, Stallone didn't have many lines because he's a grunt.

Hardened war veteran tries to make an honest living. Mercenaries apear and ask "the best" guy for the job to take them into a war zone. The blonde woman finally pursuades him to do it. They get attacked. Hardened war veteran takes soldiers in to recover the mercenaries. Hardened war veteran saves everybody.
The End.
PS. Some people died.

Bean (1997): Some good jokes, but mostly lame.
For Love or Money (1993): Better than Bean, mostly because of Michael J. Fox's performance.
Spy Hard (1996): Espionage spoof with Leslie Nielsen. Thought it was funny. (Just saw it got 5% on rottentomatoes...pfft. If the only good movies are those where you cry and feel miserable afterwards, then I don't like movies)

I give it an A+ for being a very good and fun movie to watch. I think this is even better than the average Pixar movie, so that's saying alot. The animation was A-ma-zing...the best I've ever seen. If I compare this to A bug's Life (nice, too) you can see Pixar has come a long way.

Now I'm excited for Wall-E... :P Maybe I should go watch it in the cinema.

Ya know what I watched last night.....about 15 minutes of Hannah Montana on Disney Channel.  My fiancee and I were packing up my home theater for the move to our new apartment tomorrow, and it was on and we were curious to see what all the little girls rave over.  And, I have to say, it was absolutely terrible.  I would never let my children watch that.  I felt like I was getting stupider ever second it was on.  Then I unplugged the cable box and lost the show......oh well...no loss.

Watched the end of the first season of Californication. Pretty disappointing ending. You can really tell that they ended it no hopes of a second season. Unfortunately for them, there will be a second season, and they have essentially eliminated all of the things that made the first season great. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Tonight I saw:

Mr. Nice Guy - (1997) - B+

Jackie Chan movie, always fun, same recipe as always:

- Mistake causes cute naive girl to be kidnapped & Jackie has to resque her.
- Main villain who is retarded and his goons who are even more retarded.
- A 10min action scene every 20min. (Great choreography and use of environment)
- Jackie beats the crap out of everyone and it all ends well.

Rambo III - (1988) - F for Fail

It was lame, I didn't really pay much attention to the story (which was lame also), just sat there.
Maybe I wasn't in a serious enough mood anymore because of the Jackie movie but I really couldn't see the point in this one.

This evening I saw:

Paprika - (2006) - A

What a strange movie! Although, maybe you'd expect something like this to come from Japan, but still it's very special.
The first 10min you really have no idea what's going on. That improves as the film progresses but even at the end, it's still pretty hard to know how everything's connected. There's a special mood throughout the movie that makes it unique.

Definately worth a watch.

Watched within the past two nights:

Diary Of The Dead- A-

Loved the way it was shot and the underlying themes throughout. Romero is a master.


CJ7- B+

The new one from Stephen Chow, the guy who did Kung Fu Hustle. Nice story about a poor father and son who stumble upon an extraterrestrial with cool powers. A bit predictable but still great.

I have been a fan of Romero for years, but I really felt like he dropped the ball on this one. I actually almost quit watching in the middle of the movie because I thought it was so bad. I really, really wanted to like it, too :(

Saw:

Con Air - (1997) - C

Movie with Nicolas Cage, thought it was pretty stupid and there were too many unrealistic scenes that bothered me. Steve Buscemi is cool though.

Mr. Deeds - (2002)  - B

It's a remake of the 1936 comedy "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town". I haven't seen the original so I can't compare.
However, I enjoyed this movie, it was a fun, feel-good movie and I like this type of movies :P

Steve Buscemi and John Turturro had minor roles in the movie, thought they were great.

I've seen this movie before and although it's still fun to watch you do miss the "surprise-effect" at the end.

Down With Love - (2003) - A

Thought it was going to be a lame chick-flick but I enjoyed it alot.

Tonight I saw:

The Parent Trap
- (1998) - B-

Pretty silly story but entertaining enough to keep you watching. The whole movie I was thinking if the twins were actually played by twins or by a single person. The credits revealed they were both played by...Lindsay Lohan. What happened to the sweet girl from this movie? :-\

Paycheck - (2003) - B

An average action movie but with the interesting plot they could've/should've made it into something far better.

Saw this documentary about North Korea yesterday.

That country has some serious problems. It's probably the biggest dictatorship of the present time. Their "Great General", Kim Jong-il, is being worshipped like he's the son of God, despite being responsible (along with his late father, Kim Il-sung) for immense famine and an overal extremely poor country.

It's so called "communism" so everything is for everyone to use; there just isn't anything there! There's no soap in the hospitals  :-\

Just look at this picture of North Korea's capital...see any cars? ;)

[img width=700]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/View_of_Pyongyang.jpg[/img]

While the citizens die of undernutrition, Kim Jong-Il has a video collection of 20,000 videos and used to be the biggest buyer of a brand of Whiskey in the world...

It's really sad to see countries like this in the 21st century. :(

It's known as both names but "Man with No Name" is what the movie studio used for it's publicity campaign. Mostly from the fact that it isn't actually a trilogy and the main character while vague, has different names in each movie but wears the same clothes and has the same way about him.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days - (2003) - B

Office Season 4

Mixed feelings so far...

American or British? I saw an episode of American Office last week and it was absolutely terrible. It was too much like a sitcom rather than a fly-on-the-wall. The whole point of The Office was to seem like a genuine fly on the wall, and the comedy was completely lost with the American one. I suppose it just seemed like they were acting too much instead of being natural.



5th Gear was on Five tonight. They spelled out "Colin McRae" plus a Scottish flag using 1,086 Subaru Imprezzas on an old airport runway. :o It looked pretty impressive. The flag was obviously made using blue and white cars.

Cool! :D
It's really sad how Colin Mcrae died in that helicopter accident :(

I was watching Top Gear today. It was a cool episode featuring the new Porsche 911 Turbo and Brambus SL??? (don't know the name) that had 730BHP and produced 1000Nm Torque. Turned out it was a stupid car.
Hammond and May tried to fire a car in space like a space shuttle. The begin went fine but the final tank didn't come off and the whole thing crashed down :P
Although it was entertaining I wish they did some more car reviews and less nonsense. I realise they only review sport or semi-sport cars but reviews of some cheaper cars would be nice.

Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on September 10, 2008, 07:08:24 PM
Saw this documetary about the attack on the WTC. Pretty impressive I must say. It was with actors and they recreated whole floors of it to show how the conditions must have been. There were also testamonials of people who survived it and of family members of those that didn't. Instead of giving a more overal picture, the documetary followed a couple of groups that had some more "spectacular" escapes, etc...

There was this group of three that was really shocking, actually. They had to go down about half the tower. (from the 55th floor I think) There was this rather fat guy Victor, another guy Harry and this asian guy Huong (I'm not sure about the spelling) Well the two guys that were somewhat in shape really had to help this Victor alot, he'd need alot of breaks between running down flights of stairs, etc...
They got down to like the 35th floor where they met with firefighters going upwards (sadly enough). The firefighters saw how this Victor was holding the other two guys up and told them to go down. Huong did and got out of the tower literally minutes (maybe ten or so) before the tower collapsed while Harry stayed with Victor and died.
It's a sad story but at some point you have to think of your own family and friends, you know. Helping others is good but having it lead to your own death is another thing. That Harry can be considered a hero for staying behind with Victor but what comfort gives that to Harry's family, knowing he'd could've gotten out with Huong?

Besides from the documentary I find the whole skyscraper idea scary. I'm not afraid of heights but being at like the 87th floor or something is really a scary thought. There really isn't a quick way to get out when you need to take the stairs. They mentioned that it takes 50min to go all the way up to the highest floor by stairs. That's insane! 50min...
Going down is probably a bit easier but even when you're running for your life, aren't obstructed by anything and are in good condition I think it'd still take 30-35min to get down and that's still much too long to be safe.

I'm hooked on Dragon Ball Z again.  It was one of my favorites when I was younger, and having seen some of the uncut version so I always knew I was missing something.  The current DVD release is astounding... with new dubs, audio edits, and a wide aspect amounting to what feels like a 291 episode animated film!  Of course, action is the main attraction (hey, that rhymes) and once more, lack of syndicated television censorship totals to blood and other surprises.  I'm only halfway through the Namek saga so I've got a ways to go yet, not to mention the dozen plus feature films.

Awesome, I used to love Dragon Ball Z episodes on TV! :)
I do find them going much too slow for my tastes though. The Frieza saga used to take forever  :-\ It takes Goku atleast two episodes to throw the Spirit Bomb, it's rediculous. Oh, and the TV channel I used to watch them on only aired until the Cell games saga and then started over...I don't know why but it was so annoying  >:( :(

Have you seen this (http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=2307.msg115760#msg115760) video I posted up a few days ago? (the second one) If you like anime (and certainly if you like DBZ) you'll laugh your ass off :D

Watched the Vikes choke away another one yesterday. It was nice that they kept up with the tradition of Minnesota sports, put forth by the Twins (and to a certain point, the Timberwolves): Get a lead early, hold it for most of the game, then blow it late. It's almost comforting at this point.

watched last night...

Disney's Saludos Amigos / The Three Caballeros:  Classic Caballeros Collection - (1942) (1944) - D-

Reason for score -- i wouldn't call this a disney classic by any means



watched tonight...

Salò, Or The 120 Days Of Sodom:  The Criterion Collection (Remastered Reissue) - (1975) - A

Reason for score -- if you look past the disgusting and horrific parts, this movie has a crazy impressive message (yes, i've seen this before as well....)


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on September 15, 2008, 08:08:53 PM
Saw tonight:

The Birds - (1963) - B+

A Hitchcock classic. Not a film that would end up as one of my favorites but it's clear to see what an effect this must've had in 1963.

watched tonight....

The Unbearable Lightness Of Being:  The Criterion Collection - (1988) - A-

Reason for score -- seen it before, found out my copy was a bootleg, and replaced it recently.....watched it just to make sure it was all good and legit....really good movie...a little long, but good none the less....

In the middle of Resident Evil: Apocalypse. I'm trying to work out if this is better or worse than House Of The Dead. Maybe it just has a bigger budget.

Broken Flowers - (2005) - A

A great and honest movie with Bill Murray. I enjoy films like this. Not too much drama, not too much comedy. It reminded me of Lost in Translation, but that's probably just because of Murray's typical "sit and stare" face.


Memoirs of a Geisha - (2005) - B

I missed the first half hour because Broken Flowers wasn't finished yet. The film was nice, not too much things that bothered me; I wasn't blown away either. It got aweful reviews scoring 35% (rotten) at rottentomatoes. Maybe these reviewers are comparing to the book (which I didn't read) because I don't really saw what was so bad about it.

Wings:  Eclipse Series 11: Larisa Shepitko:  The Criterion Collection - (1966) - A

Reason for score -- a fantastic film by an highly unknown director....

The Ascent:  Eclipse Series 11: Larisa Shepitko:  The Criterion Collection - (1979) - A

Reason for score -- shepitko was a fantastic director....too bad her life ended so early and tragically....her contributions to film were fantastic

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - (2001) - B+

It's fun, but kind of silly seeing the main cast is so small compared to how they are now. I really should watch the 4th and 5th movie one of these days...

The Odd Couple II - (1998) - B

A couple of great laughs but nothing special overal. Wow, this is only a 1998 film and both Jack Lemmon and Walther Matthau are dead I see just now on Wikipedia. That's kind of scary.

Shadows: John Cassavetes: Five Films: The Criterion Collection - (1959) - B

Reason for score -- as others have said about this film.....it wasn't the best film ever, but it was a good, solid film none the less


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on September 21, 2008, 05:47:43 AM
Over the Hedge - (2006) - B

It was good, but not as good/original as a Pixar one, nor as funny as the Shrek movies. It bothered me that too many ideas got "borrowed" from Toy Story 1/2. (The cart that explodes and starts flying, the car scene...)

Mr. Nice Guy - (1997) - B+

Jackie Chan movie. While watching, I wondered if I just saw this movie recently. I was right lol, I went back in this thread and saw I've seen it the 9th of august. :P

I can delete this if asked or You can delete this or move it to the locked, split thread, but I felt the need to respond.

I appologize for prior rudeness.  I get very emotionally charged over Moore topics.

Not as an attack, but you proved my point by splitting and locking; the masses don't want to hear the truth and work to hide or supress it if it means staying peaceful and happy. Also, my attack was not at all soldiers, but rather those that feel the current war is justified. It is their duty to serve, the don't have to like it, but those that truely feel the war is just are at fault.   

I will drop the argument now, but I would like to hear one positive remark about the Bush administration that is valid. (please take into account all your friends and family who are out of work and are suffering at the point of poverty....and no, those $600 checks do not count.)

I'm not American nor is my country directly involved in your war. I didn't split and lock for any other reason than to keep this thread on topic while exploring the potential of another discussion. It was locked because it became clear no good discussion would come of it at present. Nothing more nothing less.

Regardless, apology accepted. You know the personal blogs would be a perfect way to continue this debate should you feel you have more to say on the matter. Since it doesn't affect the front page nor any ongoing threads you can feel free to say your piece in more detail. That goes for anyone on the site regardless of your position in the community or your stance on key issues.

Tonight I watched Malice with Alec Baldwin and Nicole Kidman.

I have absolutely no idea what it was about. This woman had stomach pains, then she had an operation where some dude cut her ovaries out but then there was some kind of scam/con/fraud. But while this was going on, there was a serial rapist killing some students. In the end the boy with the piano turned out to be blind.

Saw a pre-screening last week. It was alright, I just hate how they marketed it like it was all smart and artsy when it was simply your basic raunchy high-school jaunt.

I like most....here are ratings of all that I own and have seen....
Wow, I didn't expect such a lengthy respond; thanks for the research you've done, it's appreciated. :)

It was just a (wrong) impression I had then...I just found that lately (like the last 2-3 weeks) you've been giving C's or D's to almost all your criterions.

But thanks again, a very nice list I must say. :nod: :)

But thanks again, a very nice list I must say. :nod: :)

All of what I have been watching recently has been that damn Cassavettes box set....terrible set....I just don't see the appeal.

And, for some of the movies I have rated poorly, most diehard collectors would also rate low, such as Border Radio.  I have never seen anyone say that it is a good movie (found that out after I got it....at least it was cheap.)


Here are my ratings on the Eclipse side of the house (haven't watched two of my sets yet.)


Early Bergman:  Eclipse Series 1:  The Criterion Collection   -   A
Lubitsch Musicals:  Eclipse Series 8:  The Criterion Collection   -   A
Larisa Shepitko:  Eclipse Series 11:  The Criterion Collection   -   A
The Documentaries Of Louis Malle:  Eclipse Series 2:  The Criterion Collection   -   A+
Raymond Bernard:  Eclipse Series 4:  The Criterion Collection   -   A++
The First Films Of Samuel Fuller:  Eclipse Series 5:  The Criterion Collection   -   A++
Silent Ozu:  Eclipse Series 10:  The Criterion Collection   -   B-
Late Ozu:  Eclipse Series 3:  The Criterion Collection   -   B+
Postwar Kurosawa:  Eclipse Series 7:  The Criterion Collection   -   B+
Carlos Saura's Flamenco Trilogy:  Eclipse Series 6:  The Criterion Collection   -   D



For Eclipse, I didn't rate the indivdiual films, but you get the idea.

I have a bunch more Criterions and Eclipse titles I haven't seen, as well as a number on order too.

Yea, most likely.  I just wanted to get it outta my queue list.  I have a few Criterions I haven't seen yet on my list, so hopefully I don't get any more stinkers.

Post by: tholly on October 12, 2008, 10:04:29 PM
watched tonight....all were really short, under 1 h 15 min each....

Shadows In Paradise:  Aki Kaurismäki's Proletariat Trilogy:  Eclipse Series 12:  The Criterion Collection - (1986) - A

Ariel:  Aki Kaurismäki's Proletariat Trilogy:  Eclipse Series 12:  The Criterion Collection - (1988) - A

The Match Factory Girl:  Aki Kaurismäki's Proletariat Trilogy:  Eclipse Series 12:  The Criterion Collection - (1990) - A

Reason for score -- all flowed well together, really great trilogy....all on the short side, but it worked for the films....also, the soundtracks were fantastic...


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: tholly on October 13, 2008, 09:15:04 PM
watched tonight.....

The 400 Blows: The Adventures Of Antoine Doinel: Five Films By Francois Truffaut: The Criterion Collection - (1959) - A

Reason for score -- i can see why this gets such high ratings.....fantastic film....
 
Antoine And Colette: The Adventures Of Antoine Doinel: Five Films By Francois Truffaut: The Criterion Collection - (1962) - A-

Reason for score -- great continuation, but very short (but, what do you expect with a short film...)....can't wait to watch the rest of this set....

Just got back from Burn After Reading. Another great piece from the Coen bros., a bit slow but ultimately rising to a hilarious crescendo. It was somewhat reminiscent of a play by Shakespeare...

Stolen Kisses: The Adventures Of Antoine Doinel: Five Films By Francois Truffaut: The Criterion Collection - (1968) - A

Bed And Board:  The Adventures Of Antoine Doinel:  Five Films By Francois Truffaut:  The Criterion Collection - (1970) - A

just watched...

Les Mistons (The Mischief Makers):  Les Salades de l'amour: The Supplements:  The Adventures Of Antoine Doinel:  Five Films By Francois Truffaut:  The Criterion Collection - (1957) (2003) - A

Reason for score -- a nice way to close up this this set....nice introductory to see where Truffaut got his inspiration from....

watching now...

Disney's Sleeping Beauty:  50th Anniversary:  Two-Disc Platinum Edition - (1959) - A

Reason for score -- you have to love classic Disney (as opposed to most of the new junk they put out....) .... i'm saving my blu-ray copy to watch with my fiancee since it is one of her favorite movies.....it will be interesting to see the difference in image from the DVD to the Blu-Ray of this movie....


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on October 17, 2008, 12:54:48 PM
as opposed to most of the new junk they put out....
When you say that, does that include Pixar movies, as well? Because Pixar is completely owned by Disney since a couple of years.

Just finished Dragon Ball Z season 6 last night.  That puts me at 194/291 episodes plus 2/2 TV specials and 4/9 movies viewed.  I'm caught up on all that is available for now.  All I can say is that 10 years later since the show ended, this has continued to be a great series.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: tholly on October 18, 2008, 07:54:53 AM
watched yesterday and today... (just so you don't think I'm a bum or something watching all these movies, my fiancee is in California for the week, so I'm watching all the foreign films I can while she is gone since she doesn't have a huge affinity towards them....)

Also, most of the movies in the Rohmer set are either shorts, or full features that are extremely short....it looks like a lot, but I didn't spend that much time on the set....I'll finish up the rest today....


The Bakery Girl Of Monceau:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1963) - A

Reason for score -- an excellent way to start the set, really pulled me in...

Presentation Or Charlotte And Her Steak:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1960) - B-

Reason for score -- wasn't an amazing short, but it held it's own....ended abruptly though....
 
Nadja In Paris:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1964) - A-

Reason for score --  decent short, very documentary-esque, but good none the less....

Suzanne's Career:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1963) - A-

Reason for score -- didn't like this one too much until the end, but then it really came together...

My Night At Maud's:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1969) - A

Reason for score -- fantastic story, i can see where the critical acclaim comes from...

On Pascal:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1965) - D

Reason for score -- more or less a complete waste of time...

A Modern Coed:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1966) - C

Reason for score -- this short was nice to see, but nothing special.....more a documentary on education that anything else...

La Collectionneuse:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1967) - A

Reason for score -- an utterly fantastic story.....very well done...

The Curve:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1999) - C+

Reason for score -- to me, this doesn't fit Rohmer's style.....if I wasn't viewing it as part of the set, this short would have gotten a higher rating, but combined with the moral tales, this one doesn't do it for me...

DBZ is awesome!  I remember watching it on TV every day 5 years ago. That network were a bunch of A-holes though, they'd show until the end of the Freeza saga atleast 3 times and then start over :-\

I think I saw the Freeza saga completely atleast 2-4 times...they eventually aired the Cell/Perfect Cell saga too, but only like a year later.

watched today....

Claire's Knee: Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales: The Criterion Collection - (1970) - A

Reason for score -- another great movie in the Rohmer set...
 
Veronique And Her Dunce: Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales: The Criterion Collection - (1958) - A

Reason for score -- a good short, nice extra for the set...

Love In The Afternoon: Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales: The Criterion Collection - (1972) - A

Reason for score -- a great way to finish up the Six Moral Tales set.....i highly recommend this set....


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: tholly on October 18, 2008, 06:05:27 PM
watched tonight....the first criterion i have watched in a while that didnt like....

The Complete Mr. Arkadin A.K.A. Confidential Report:  The Corinth Version - (1955) - B-

The Complete Mr. Arkadin A.K.A. Confidential Report:  Confidential Report Version - European Version - (1955) - B-

The Complete Mr. Arkadin A.K.A. Confidential Report:  Comprehensive Version - (2003) - B-

Reason for score -- i liked the concept, but it could have been so much more, but i guess the history of the movie, if you look it up, explains the lack of direction and cohesion....also, the acting was sub-par at best....


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on October 18, 2008, 06:35:02 PM
Yesterday and today:

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - (2004) - B

Babel - (2006) - A+

Excellent movie.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: tholly on October 19, 2008, 11:33:09 AM
watched last evening and today...

Henry V:  Olivier's Shakespeare:  The Criterion Collection - (1944) - B-

Reason for score -- decent film, i wasn't blown away by any means, but it was good none the less...

Hamlet:  Olivier's Shakespeare:  The Criterion Collection - (1948) - A

Reason for score -- i didn't know it until i started watching it, but i had seen this one before, way back when in high school....good movie...

Richard III:  Olivier's Shakespeare:  The Criterion Collection - (1955) - B+

Reason for score -- reasonably good movie, but the young kids in it are terrible actors....oh well....

Indy 4 was not bad. Considering the old ones get A+, this one gets a solid B.

Indy 4 was not bad. Considering the old ones get A+, this one gets a solid B.

The alien stuff just didn't fit in.  This movie seemed like an after-thought (which I guess it was.)  Didn't seem to match up with the rest of the series.

just finished up this eclipse set....

Who Are You, Polly Maggoo?: The Delirious Fictions Of William Klein: Eclipse Series 9: The Criterion Collection - (1966) - B+

Reason for score -- very experimental and out there...
 
Mr. Freedom: The Delirious Fictions Of William Klein: Eclipse Series 9: The Criterion Collection - (1969) - A

Reason for score -- very poignant movie....interesting how closely it describes the current political situation of the US...
 
The Model Couple: The Delirious Fictions Of William Klein: Eclipse Series 9: The Criterion Collection - (1977) - B+

Reason for score -- very interesting story / message...out there though....WAY out there

Ocean's Eleven: Ocean's Trilogy Collectible Giftset (HD-DVD) - (2001) - A-

No, I don't do that fanboy thing. I have HD-DVDs and Blu-Rays and both formats have movies that look stunning and both have movies that look like shit. This just happened to be a shitty transfer. It would look equally as bad on BR. It looks like the source material used was in bad shape.

Sorry, missed the kidding aspect. But, some people are so fanboyish one way or the other it's crazy. They are basically the same product. But yea, I can't believe some high def stuff that gets pushed out. Species on bluray is another example. I think the VHS probably looked better.

Ocean's Twelve:  Ocean's Trilogy Collectible Giftset (HD-DVD) - (2004) - B

Yes, the Romans and Chinese were remarkably advanced.
Sadly enough, uncivilized people from the North pretty much wiped out the Roman empire; and the giant Chinese empire was lead by 1 person (=the emperor, duh)

Both were negative for these empires.

Religion helped destroy Rome just as much as the "barbarians" did ;)

Tried to watch a couple of the Watchers movies on SciFi but could get into them. I didn't even know they existed.

Ended up watching Cities of the Underworld and some shows about "historical" vampires.

Saw:

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
- (2005) - C

A bit dissapointed with this one. The animation is amazing but there's almost no story in the movie. 85% of the movie are adrenaline-pumping action scenes which, eventually, numb each other out because of the sheer quantity and lenght of them. The small amount of story that is there isn't understandable when you haven't played the game. In fact, I think even the "casual" gamer who played FF7 10 years ago will have great trouble knowing what is going on. They could've atleast tried to make it somewhat more accessible to newcomers rather than only the superdupertooper die-hard fans.

I've been watching The Black Adder. :D I've only watched three episodes so far. :( The logical thing to do would be to watch them in order, so I'm doing that. It's getting better through the series. Episode 1 seemed a lot more amateurish than the other series, perhaps because the actors were getting into the roles.

Yesterday I saw:

Failure to Launch - 2006 - B-

Chick flick with a retarded story but entertaining nonetheless.

The Bear - 1988 - A

Beautiful movie about a bear cub who lost his mother. It's filmed with actual bears who are trained actors.

watched today...

Sisters Of The Gion:  Kenji Mizoguchi's Fallen Women:  Eclipse Series 13:  The Criterion Collection - (1936) - B

Reason for score -- decent enough movie, but at times it was almost unwatchable the picture quality was so bad ( i realize it was an eclipse film that didn't receive the criterion treatment, but the picture quality was still terrible.... )

I just finished watching Star Trek - The Animated Series.

This series was even shorter lived than the original series lasting only 20 some episodes. It first aired in 1973 & 74. I remember watching it as a kid but only vaguely. I thought it was very well done. The original cast was back to do the voice work ( minus Walter Koenig - though he did write an episode) as well as many on the original writers like David Gerrod and DC Fontana.

It was very high concept and "techie" just like pretty much every incarnation of Star Trek. I can see why it didn't last as a Saturday morning cartoon, though it did win an Emmy as best new childrens show.

You mean like the bit where Bond used the defribullator on himself?


I was just talking about Casino Royale on another forum. I've only seen it once and it was a while ago but from what I remember, it was just a long movie about some people playing poker. I couldn't get into it and then it suddenly ended. Daniel Craig was a wooden actor as Bond.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on November 09, 2008, 11:10:38 AM
It was much more realistic than previous Bond movies.

Brosnan could go through an entire fight and afterwards his hair would still be perfect. Or like when Brosnan is chasing the bad guy in GoldenEye on the crane (or whatever it is...) above the emptied lake and enters a hatch like it's the 200th time he'd done that.

I'm not saying it's realistic as in "Oooh, that's all 100% possible." but it feels realistic whereas the last 3-4 Bond movies were just downright rediculous. (Remember Brosnan hanging from the clock just before the waterfall?)

If you couldn't get into Casino Royale then I'm sure you had already decided it was going to suck even before seeing it.

Reason for score -- oddly enough, i have never seen this one....my fiancee wanted to watch the copy i bought her awhile ago, so i said ok....the acting was subpar, and it was a predictable romance story, but it was worth watching...

That didn't really bother me. The show is moving away from being an informative car show to a more entertaining show with cars added. I kind of like it this way. It was more fun last week though when Jeremy's lorry set fire. :D

And today I watched a re-run episode of Topgear on a Belgium channel. (I watch the new ones on BBC2, of course) It was the one in which Jeremy reviewed the Koenningsegg CCX and when they made a family car into a convertible.

Will you be under full sedation (I don't know the correct word) or not?

I had all 4 of them taken out at the same time, last year in July. It went very smooth I must say. :)


(Of course I was fully sedated. Didn't want to hear my teeth getting cracked out of my jaw! :ninja:)

just saw in the theater....


Quantum Of Solace - (2008) - B

Reason for score -- just average.  seems to be a set-up for the next film.  it seemed very rushed and forced and there was very little character development.  seemed to me like it ended before it even started.  very short for a bond film, at least compared to the last one.

Disney's WALL·E - 3-Disc Special Edition (Blu-Ray) - (2008) - A+

Marie Antoinette - (2006) - B+

I enjoyed it more than I expected.


I just searched her up on Wikipedia and by clicking on random ancestors of her I was able t go back to people living around the year 1000. Wow! :o Considering the fact she lived in the 18th century, that's very impressive.

Imagine having a chart of your ancestors going back more than 700 years, that'd be pretty cool. One of my grandfathers has one that goes back 400 years though, I have no idea where he got the data.

Oh come now. Wall-E was stupid, it was wonderful visually and quite funny but to say it has a fantastic message is stupid. I mean, what message? Don't pollute? Yeah, we never hear that one...It was essentially a dumbed Idiocracy for children and stupid hippies.


But I agree about Saw...shit died at the end of the first one :P

watched tonight....

The African Queen - (1951) - C-

Reason for score -- downloaded since you can obviously buy this one on dvd.....and, even though it is on the AFI Top 100 list, I can see why there is no rush to get this one out....nothing amazing at all.....

The Magnificent Seven - (1960) - C

Reason for score -- good movie, but it's basically just a weaker, copied version of Seven Samurai....

The Magnificent Ambersons - (1942) - C

Reason for score -- another one you can't buy on dvd.....and i'm glad I didn't have to pay for this one...

Se7en:  Special Edition:  The Criterion Collection (Laserdisc) - (1995) - A+

Caught Four Christmases this week. Funny, but there were only about 4 lines of important, story-related dialogue in the whole movie. Very obviously made to be a holiday comedy with a very light and predictable storyline. 6/10.

Also watched Wristcutters - A Love Story. Um. Not sure what to say about it. Very bizzare and kind of ridiculous. Seemed like a movie that wanted to have a deeper, thought-provoking feel to it, but came off flaky and disjointed. 5/10.

Finally, watched Best in Show for about the 10th time. Not much needs to be said about it - it's brilliant. 8/10.

Tell you the truth, I had a hard time liking it myself, too. So little happens. The camera angles are often nice, though. But I still feel it didn't live up to all the hype.


Independance Day - (1996) - B

Saw the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still last night. Feel like they did a decent job - not great, not terrible. My biggest gripe was what they did with GORT. He was too sleek and computer generated for my tastes.

Praying for a sequel.  They made it apparent that there was more to do with the Underminer at the end.  Easily the best Pixar film.  Whoever did the sound for that movie did a (pardon the term) incredible job.  Damnit, not I want to watch it again...

It was great indeed. Because the movie has a 60ies feel to it, they recorded the music in an old-school way. For example: the brass is very prominant in this movie and they recorded on tape rather than digitally. All the musicians were in the same room too, instead of in seperate recording rooms, etc...
Michael Giacchino composed the music.


Tideland  - (2005) - B+

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
This movie was good. I would give it an A.

Don't watch the trailer first! I did not see a trailer before before watching this movie, so I didn't know what to expect. I watched a trailer just a minute ago and it shows many scenes that I watched for the first time in the movie. I hate when trailers show key parts of a movie and while watching the movie you know how things will play out on screen before buildup to that scene takes place. I think I will watch less trailers now.

I got a chance to see a prescreening of Seven Pounds. This movie was absolutely great. Do yourself a favor and see it. I dont want to spoil anything but if you were unsure of the trailer (as I was), check it out anyway. It was a masterpiece.

let the weekend laserdisc bonanza begin....

Against The Wall (Laserdisc) - (1994) - A

Reason for score -- pretty decent older HBO movie....
 
2010:  The Year We Make Contact (Laserdisc) - (1984) - B-

Reason for score -- could this have been any more directed towards the cold war....this movie probably didn't need to be made....

The Birdcage (Laserdisc) - (1996) - B+

Reason for score -- i went into this expecting nothing....but it was actually kinda funny....


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: James on December 20, 2008, 05:14:45 PM
Just watched Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian on rented DVD.

I fell asleep for 40 minutes of it. I don't believe I've ever done that during a movie we've paid for. I had to laugh at the last bit...

[spoiler ]

The lion said in such a cheesy voice "For speaking first, your future will be a good one." Then he breathed all over them.

[/spoler]


I know it's a Disney film for kids but it was sickeningly sweet. I'm glad I slept through a third of it because the rest of it was kind of boring and didn't make much sense from the start.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: tholly on December 20, 2008, 05:56:44 PM
watched today....continuing the laserdisc weekend bonanza....

Backdraft (Laserdisc) - (1991) - B

Reason for score -- cheesy early 90s flick....

Dumb And Dumber (Laserdisc) - (1994) - B

Reason for score -- pointless classic....way too over quoted though....

Clear And Present Danger (Laserdisc) - (1994) - B+

Reason for score -- gotta love harrison in a good political flick....

Mortal Kombat - (1995) - C-

--> Didn't like this one at all.

Ran - (1985) - A+

--> Wonderful movie about 16th century Japan.


Also saw an episode of Keeping Up Appearances, in which Richard had to dress up as Santa. Great stuff, and it hasn't aged a bit.

last night and today so far....

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (Laserdisc) - (1977) - C+

Reason for score -- kinda stupid alien movie.....i know it has a sort of cult following, but it wasn't anything amazing....

Crimson Tide (Laserdisc) - (1995) - B+

Reason for score -- i have always liked this movie....good action thriller...

The Crow (Laserdisc) - (1994) - C

Reason for score -- pretty pathetic attempt to make a good movie...

Reason for score -- i know planes can hook-up mid air....but, these 2 planes...a little far fetched....give me a break....
 
Star Trek VII: Generations (Laserdisc) - (1994) - B

Reason for score -- i haven't seen the other ones or the show, so i have no comparison....as a stand alone movie, it was okay...
 
Total Recall (Laserdisc) - (1992) - C

Reason for score -- can arnie only play one role / emotion

I wanted to watch the new Top Gear episode on BBC2 but I missed it because they aired it at 8PM instead of 9PM (Local time)  :evilsad:
When I turned on the TV I saw like the last 2min with May in Los Angelos, and then it was over. :(

So I watched the UK Championship Snooker final with Shaun Murphy vs. Marco Fu. I was cheering for Marco (I'm always for the underdog) but Murphy won in the end.

Then I saw Have I Got News For You, with Jeremy Clarkson hosting the episode. It was only 30min though, that's rather short.


Yep, it was an all-BBC2 night - Belgium channels were airing nonsense.

In Belgium we get BBC1, BBC2 and BBC World (the last one only for 12hours per day - it's sharing a channel with "Arte") on the regular cable. :)

Yea, we get an ungodly amount of channels....but, if you remove all the pay per view channels, all the music channels, and all the repeats (ie, only count SD & HD versions of a channel as 1) it is a lot less.....still a ton though...

Yeah, that's still pretty nice. Our cable only gives about 35 channels. :(

How much does the cable cost over there?


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: tholly on December 23, 2008, 09:19:21 AM
For the cable set up we have, it's tv, phone, and Internet for about $150/month. I don't use the TV aspect too much, only for 3 or 4 shows, and we don't use the phone at all, but it was cheaper with than without....we just use our iPhones. I could do without the package and just get the Internet, but my fiancée likes to have the TV service.

Last I checked, our package is 100-150 channels. But with an extra two set top boxes (Three in total) the bill is something like £70 a month just for tv. It's a waste because I don't watch cable, and dad only watches sports channels. One of the boxes doesn't get used at all. We're stuck in an 18 month contract, though.

I use a digital freeview tuner card in my PC. It uses the roof aerial to get around 40 freeview channels.

Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Tan on December 23, 2008, 10:22:26 AM
Here it's $98.95/month for 165 or so channels, but it can go as low as $32.97 for 41 channels and a couple other packages in between.

Mind you I don't have cable at all so I can't speak on it's merits if any. I have a set of rabbit ears that give me the only two good channels worth watching if I ever decided that watching TV interested me. :P

Post by: tholly on December 23, 2008, 06:29:29 PM
started last night...finished today....

Tombstone (Laserdisc) - (1993) - A-

Reason for score -- good movie, but a good portion of the characters are not very believable for the time period....probably because i know them from other movies...


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: James on December 23, 2008, 08:18:33 PM
The Terminator

I can't believe I've never seen this. I've seen the second one loads of times, and the third a few times. I suppose it's because the first one has hardly ever been on TV.

Hoop Dreams:  The Criterion Collection - (1994) - A

Reason for score -- really great documentary....gives you a great view into the ghetto and what people do trying to get out....

The Polar Express (Presented In 3-D) - (2004) - C-

Reason for score -- gave it to my mom as a xmas eve present (the movie takes place on xmas eve)....we've seen it before, but never in 3D....what a gimmick.....it started to bother my eyes about 5 minutes in....


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: tholly on December 25, 2008, 01:00:40 AM
watched tonight....

Platoon:  Special Edition:  The Ultimate Oliver Stone Collection - (1986) - A

Reason for score -- same reason as when i watched my laserdisc copy a few days ago....i didn't realize the stone set had this movie in it until today, so i figured i would watch it and see how the two compare, knowing that the DVD would obviously look better than the laserdisc....


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?

Last night I watched Toy Story 2.

I think Toy Story is great. It does have a typical Disney story line but I think it's done very well. There aren't any cheap, smutty jokes. Unlike a lot of Disney sequels, Toy Story 2 was actually good and had a meaningful plot. For example, Cinderella is a classic. Cinderella II: Dreams Come True was awful. Or it probably was.

That's no longer the case. The studio that was working on Toy Story 3 was shut down after the Disney-Pixar fuse.

The new plot is:

The film has Woody, Buzz, and the rest of their toy-box friends being dropped off at a day-care center after their owner, Andy, leaves for college.

Hmmm, it was probably an out-of-date page you were reading.

It doesn't bother my that much that the plot has changed. I feel more comfortable with the Pixar guys making the movie than a random studio, anyway. I'd hate to see this series being messed up by a bad movie.

I didn't realise until I watched it that it's a big advert to brainwash kids about global warming, loosely hidden behind a story of love between two completely different robots.

I thought it was fairly decent, nonetheless.

One of the trailers on the Wall E DVD was for some magical turd a Chinese kid found in a lake. This turd taught the kid how to steal and sneak his way into movies. I thought it was a spoof, especially with a line something like "It was you all along! You did it yourself!" The Magic Gourd, or something.

Yesterday and today....

JFK: Special Edition Director's Cut: The Ultimate Oliver Stone Collection - (1991) - A

Born On The Fourth Of July: Special Edition: The Ultimate Oliver Stone Collection - (1989) - A

Reason for score -- good movie....tom cruise wasn't too out there back then...

Nixon: Director's Cut: The Ultimate Oliver Stone Collection - (1995) - B+

Reason for score -- really really drawn out (212 minutes)....definitely way too much extra stuff put in there that the movie could have done without....decent, but not amazing....

So I watched BBC2 again yesterday, saw:

- Top Gear (with Jeremy Clarkson)
- show-I-forgot-the-name-off with a British chef that entered a classic car rally through Italy with a £1,000,000 '48 Maserati and it broke down after 100miles.LOL
- Have I Got News For You (with guest-host Jeremy Clarkson)
- Never Mind The Buzzcocks (with guest-host Jeremy Clarkson....starting to see a pattern here?)

Then I saw another episode of Keeping Up Appearances, but on a Belgian channel.

Today I saw:

Family Business - (1989) - C

--> Nothing special.

Curious Case of B. B. was actually disappointing. I'll give it that it's very well made, but it was about as deep as the kiddie pool. It was like Forest Gump without a soul; pretty, but not profound.

The Real Italian Job: Mille Miglia

He bought the car for £650,000 then spent £200,000 on spare parts, life insurance, entry into the rally etc. The newly rebuilt engine broke after 120 miles.



Was that the Vietnam episode you watched? I thought it was better than Top Gear has been recently.

Thanks for the title. :)

Yeah, I may have exaggerated a bit on the price, but taking into account all costs it was like £850,000-900,000 so I wasn't too far off. They did say that the car would be worth £1,000,000 if it finished the race. I don't get why that is....does driving it for 1000miles suddenly make it worth much more?

And yup, the Vietnam episode. I thought it was great too. Somehow Top Gear has become much less about cars and much more about those 3 guys goofing around, but it doesn't bother me one bit.

Yesterday I saw:

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith - (2005)  - B+

--> Great movie. I enjoyed the architecture/vehicles/design of the movie. The story seems an excuse to have the characters do cool things in all kinds of crazy locations (like the Volcano planet) but that didn't bother me. I know that the fans of the original series think that the new ones are terrible but when you don't care about Star Wars (like me) this movie is very enjoyable.

The Talented Mr. Ripley - (1999) - A

--> Cool movie, I like Matt Damon in most of his movies.

Don't forget that all of them, outside of the pilot of course, survived a helicopter crash. The camera managed to remain undamaged. The cameraman was then 'bitten' by the huge creature, who for some reason just dropped his dead, unmutilated body back to the ground. Again, the camera was undamaged. Then the main character risks life and limb to rescue the camera before they sprint away from the monster.

This was just one of the many issues I had. Even for a movie about a huge, destructive creature, this was so far fetched and unbelievable that I just couldn't enjoy it.

That classic Star Trek series was fairly trashy in it's own right. The slutty sex and snazzy cars is really nothing more than a modernization of some of the outdated events from the original series.

You have to take Cloverfield with a grain of salt, but it's a freakin' amazing feat of filmmaking that has not been done to such a degree before. OK, so there are some realism issues, LIKE THERE'S A FUCKING GIANT MONSTER! but every movie has realism issues, and this one went places other movies have not.

As a fan of Original Star Trek I do think J.J. will do an awful job and bastardize the series.

Yesterday:

Chicken Run - (2000) - A

--> Fantastic movie.


This morning I saw Saturday Kitchen. It was fun but I can't believe how unmannered Mel B is. When James Martin was wrapping up the episode she bluntly interrupted him to advertise her DVD. I almost fell out of my chair.

While I agree that it was lacking, pretty much an action movie in a jungle with car chases replaced by foot-chases, I don't see your point about Mel ruining it. He made it, it wouldn't exist otherwise...

Watching Defiance right now, pretty good, weird seeing Daniel Craig talk with a eastern European accent.

What were you expecting? I was expecting a superhero action movie, it was that, and it was very well done but topped off with a wonderful performance by Ledger. I thought Christian Bale did a fine job, he doesn't really need to act as Batman, and as Bruce Wayne he goes back to an American Psycho type role which I think works quite well. It's not exceptionally deep or anything, there's a flaw or two in the plot, but it's not that exceptionally bad is it?

Seriously? I just got back from seeing it again, and I'd see it again. Granted him singing at the end brings a bit of a chuckle, but to not see the acting, dialogue, and plot, makes me wonder what movie you were watching. It's same old Eastwood, but older, and with a new background that we haven't seen before--he finds that he's older, but he needs some work at getting wiser.

I love this film, maybe you need to see it with a more appreciative audience.

Crichton's movie was "The First Great Train Robbery" and was based on his novel. But that was 70+ years after "The Great Train Robbery" that I watched.

The acting in Dark Knight was superb.  I have no issue with the actors/actresses in the movie.  Furthermore, the cinematography was excellent and the movie obviously had some very talented people behind it; both on screen and off.  There were just things about the movie that turned me off from it, and it's sad because they were completely avoidable things.  The biggest annoyance through the entire movie, was Bale's voice when he was Batman.  The effect they added was applied to thick, it might have been OK in moderation, but every time he spoke it just took me out of the movie. 

Maybe I'm just too used to CG, and can suspend disbelief for just about anything CG, but when I saw a few things in the Dark Knight, I was disappointed.  First of all, you can't trip a semi by putting a wire under it.  I know that they really did flip the semi for the movie, but it just wasn't believable the way they did it.  Secondly, "Gotham General" really did explode; they found an old building that was ready to be demolished.  The problem?  It looked like a building ready to be destroyed, not like the premier hospital for a major metropolitan area.  The building they demolished was no more than 4 stories tall.  Even the smaller hospitals in Cincinnati on "Pill Hill" are 8-10 stories.  These issues would have been resolved if they had chosen to use CG like every other movie. 

Batman's gadgets are just terrible too, but that wouldn't have made Dark Knight better or worse, that's just something I accept when seeing a Batman film.

I really enjoyed how stealthy he was with those two halogen headlamps aka sonar eyepieces glowing from his cowl. I'm sure you wouldn't be able to see him if you were a mile away in fog. Probably did wonders for his night vision as well. :P

My major issue with the movie is how they've retconned the character. Batman turned from a silent, deadly, perfectionist detective, into a brutal thug pitfighter with ungainly gadgets and little brains.

Aaron Eckhart did a fine job as Two-Face though. A shame they wrapped him up in one movie and killed him off.

Here's a fun bit of trivia with the Eastwood talk in this thread lately. Clint was supposed to play Two-Face in the 60's TV series but they cancelled the story before that episode was filmed. Now that would've been cool!

In the last two of days:

The Proposition - (2005) - A

--> Great movie about the Australian Outback. I felt it was over too quickly; with only a length of 100 minutes a couple more scenes wouldn't have hurt.

The Incredibles - (2004) - A+

--> Second time I've watched this one in a short time. I love Pixar movies because you can see them over and over and they never seem to get boring. This one is screaming for a sequel. Let's pray that after Up (2009), Toy Story 3 (2010) and Cars 2 (2011) we'll get The Incredibles 2 in 2012 or 2013. :)

Marie Antoinette - (2006) - A

I am now hooked on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I had seen part of an episode before and that was not the best introduction to it. If you watch it, I recommend watching it from the beginning so you can get a feel for the show before DeVito shows up in the second season on. I have heard it described as a newer version of Seinfeld. That is somewhat true in that it is very fast paced, but it has extremely bizarre stories, not like a caricature of everyday stuff that Seinfeld was.

I tried watching it during the first season, but hated it.
But once the second season started I kept seeing commercials for it and tried watching it again. I absolutely love it now. I can just never remember it's on, so I haven't seen it since the first few episodes of the newest season.

I am now hooked on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I had seen part of an episode before and that was not the best introduction to it. If you watch it, I recommend watching it from the beginning so you can get a feel for the show before DeVito shows up in the second season on. I have heard it described as a newer version of Seinfeld. That is somewhat true in that it is very fast paced, but it has extremely bizarre stories, not like a caricature of everyday stuff that Seinfeld was.
I tried watching it during the first season, but hated it.

It is a great show. It is like Seinfeld in that it is breaking new ground on touchy subject matter. It may seem tame now, but when it first aired Seinfeld was very groundbreaking.

Chi's Sweet Home. Cute little anime series about a kitty that gets lost from his mom and found by a family who lets him live in their house. Nothing amazing, but fun to watch. It's kinda different from most anime in that it's a 100 or so episode series, but each episode is 3-4 minutes at the maximum. Definitely check it out if you're in the mood for something light-hearted and cute.

watched today....

Apollo 13 (Laserdisc) - (1995) - B+

Reason for score -- one of those movies that would have been really good, but the A List star that was the lead detracted from the movie....probably would have been a better movie with a no-name actor....

One of my 5 favorite shows ever. You didn't ask, but I'll list the rest of them anyway: Lost, Six Feet Under, The Wire and The Office.

Interesting fact: did you know that Dexter, in real life, is married to his sister on the show? Kinda gross...

I was sort of watching some sport today but not really.

Rugby Six Nations
England Vs Italy
England were playing awfully but they still beat Italy by quite a long way. Italy aren't really a good team anyway.
England - 36
Italy - 11

Ireland Vs France
30 - 16 (I think it was)
I'm glad France lost. They have become a very good team in the last ten years, and they have kept beating New Zealand when the Rugby World Cup comes around. I support New Zealand so I get annoyed when France beat them.

Cricket
England Vs West Indies
England are getting absolutely stuffed. They are currently 30 for 7, so they have 30 runs and 7 players out. There are 11 players on a team and there have to be two batters on the field, so when ten are out the teams swap places, or the game ends. West Indies got 392 all out before England started batting.
Cricket is so dull. I can't think of any other major sport where a single match lasts five days. But it's funny when England do badly at it.



Edit: England are all out for 51 runs. Awful.



Now I'm watching Harry Hill's TV Burp, where he takes the piss out of snippets of television from the week. It's funny but he's not harsh about the jokes.

Rugby Six Nations
Wales Vs Scotland

In the first few minutes, a Scottish player tackled a Welsh player but headbutted the Welsh guy's shoulder and knocked himself out. He got up after a while and kept playing. Then about ten minutes later, another Scottish player illegally tackled a Welsh player while he was in the air, and got kneed in the head and knocked out. While that was being sorted, the first KO player was throwing up. They both came off then with one of them being sin binned.

There are a few minutes to go and the score is Wales (26) - Scotland (13).

They don't show the BTTF movies a lot on TV here, so the only part I've seen before was BTTF3.

The Bourne Identity - (2002) - B+

Ehhh, I'd give it a B-/B at best. It's okay, but nothing amazing, IMO. :P

To summarise:
The skinny woman off the pirate films got wet, then there were lots of dead school children, then the old lady was talking on TV about her 21st novel.

I wasn't really paying attention.

Comic Relief.

It's a telethon on BBC that comes around every two years. The most annoying people from the celebrity world annoyingly pester the audience to donate money in order for them to do annoying performances. Then in between the entertainment slots they show clips of diseased Africans.

I would rather donate money to something that will sort out the problems of Britain. When thousands of British people lost their homes because of floods in 2007, no one gave a shit, scoffed at the insurance companies, then carried on as normal. But African nations, who always have been and always will be poor and corrupt, deserve hundreds of millions of pounds each year in aid in order to buy guns for genocide, and to keep people alive long enough to suffer a bit more than they thought possible before.

So glad that people in other countries feel the same way i do about the same shit happening in my country.
Why would i want to help out people in africa, china, india, whathaveyou when there are still thousands if not millions of people suffering inside our own boarders. Also this number does not count people abusing the welfare system and/or illegals.

When i was in Texas there were people who had Mexican drivers licenses with addresses in Texas for christ sake. And they couldn't speak or understand any english!

Anyways there are law and order reruns on TV now. Earlier i was watching another chick flick Aubs had on. Pretty sure it was Slums of Beverly Hills. But i'm a Cheerleader has one of the same actresses but is WAY funnier.

My girlfriend had missed most of the earlier seasons and i know i haven't seen every ep myself so we've been running thru them while watching season 5. Also remember the when Sawyer and Micheal get attacked by the shark in season 2 while they are stranded on the raft(ep titles Adrift i think) well that shark is a Dahrma Shark! Check it out online its pretty awesome.

Seems reasonable.

Saw the first race (Australian GP) of the new F1 season. Ferrari's looking pretty weak, Alonso did keep it together though, during the race. Mclaren off to a great start and, wow, Maldonado is an idiot. The guy did some stupid things last season as well. I don't think he's smart enough to be in F1.

Also saw a bunch of movies last few months:
Bedazzled (2000), Somewhere (2010), Elizabeth I (2005), Tous les Matins du Monde (1991), An Education (2009) ... off the top of my head, probably a lot more.

On a bit of a Gilbert Gottfried kick.

Yes, I actually find him fairly funny. What can I say, I'm a sick, sick dude.

First I caught him doing his Andrew "Dice" Clay impression on Howard Stern's Saturday night TV show from the early 90s.

Then it was on to his Dirty Jokes stand-up special...

...topped off with his roast of Joan Rivers.

Later today, I'll watch the episode of Superman where he voices Mr. Mxyzptlk (sp?)...

I started watching Game of Thrones. It's odd seeing a dwarf in a serious role instead of "Look at the silly little elf!" with a few short lines. Seems promising so far. I know there's been a lot of hype about it.

I was watching El Chavo del ocho (''Chaves'' here in Brazil). I watch this since i was a child, saw all the episodes, i know all the lines, but i simply love it. That guy from the picture of my profile is my favorite character, he's Dom Ramon (Seu Madruga here in Brazil).

A game based on El Chave del Ocho will launch next week for Wii. I don't know if it will see a US release, but at least a Brazilian release is confirmed. As a fan, i will buy it no matter how shit it is (hope it's not).

Lord of War - (2005) - A

--> One of my favorite films with Nicholas Cage. Hard to stop watching when I come across it on TV, especially because of the cool narration.

Emma - (1996) - B

--> Typical Jane Austen type of movie.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on May 01, 2012, 06:16:19 PM
Bolt - (2008) - B

--> Pretty good effort from Disney trying to be like Pixar, although it doesn't quite get there. I think the main problem with this movie is that the main character doesn't really stand out. I liked a lot of the scenes with the hamster more.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 - (2011) - B+

--> Good enough, but not the best in the series. This movie has two things going against it though: it's split up in two parts which means this one starts at a fairly random point and secondly, it's never easy to end a huge series like this and please everyone. I kind of wished there was more of the dialogue near the end that you get in the book, but that's to be expected. The best film of the series is still Goblet of Fire, which is just very entertaining with the challenges.

Pulled an all nighter with Wordament so i watched some netflix shit.
I had
Revenge of the Electric Car
in my queue
I actually highly recommend this. It is really a HUGE behind the scenes look at Tesla motors, the big 3, and some loaners who made their own cars that run on electricity.

After that i followed suggestions and watched 2 shows about our dependence on oil and how the insutry is ripping us off and blah blah blah.
Stereotypical antibig business, anti politician, pro environment stuff. But it was really well presented and i liked it. Actually learned a bunch too.
I think my favorite bits were how often it is alluded to or flat out stated that oil companies have had people killed, threatened to kill people, bought up patents, lied about technology, hidden/tampered with results/etc. I wish i could remember the names of the other 2. But amidst all the personal stories and other things that could not be proven they also had a fair amount of news paper/public/internal records to back up certain claims.


Starting
Fuel
now. I guess this one is about how awesome biodiesel is.

Just found this: a time-lapse map of every nuclear explosion that has occurred since the Manhattan Project in July of 1945 at Alamagordo, New Mexico.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLCF7vPanrY

The first 1:20 covers the Manhattan project detonation, as well as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.

The most spectacular sequences of "blips" occur between 1961 and 1990.

It might seem a bit slow-going for some of you, but for me the fun part was the suspense, wondering when and where the next explosion would occur. I also enjoyed watching the "scores" of all the nuclear powers go up as the piece played along.

Just a little over 2000 explosions all told, with the U.S.A. accounting for over half of them.

Now, those are some fireworks to celebrate Independence Day...

Being sick for a few days does have its advantages when AMC runs the entire first 2 seasons of Walking Dead in order. I watched every episode except for maybe two (the second episode and maybe one in the middle that came on after I went to sleep).
If you're a fan of the show and have watched it week to week, it gives it an entirely new perspective to watch it all at once. It feels like the show is over the span of close to year when you watch it week to week, but all at once you realize its really only like a month. And its nice to actually be able to remember stuff they reference later on.

Be glad you missed the second episode. It's brutally bad. Made me stop watching the show the first time I tried, and almost made me do it the second. I don't remember which episode made me stop watching it the second time.

Been rewatching Six Feet Under with my girlfriend, and plowing through The West Wing for the first time with the girlfriends's family. SFU is one of my favorites, maybe even most favorite, and I'm loving West Wing. Super snappy dialogue, great characters, still-relevant topics. Super good.

I've just got back from The Dark Knight Rises. I pretty much can't say anything about it without giving spoilers. I've somehow managed to avoid absolutely everything about it other than Bane until now. It wasn't as good as The Dark Knight but I still enjoyed it. It had some plot holes and some things that really annoyed me, though.

uh one thing, though i am loving this the Bella and Methos hock-up is kind'va wrong. I can understand were you are going but i just don't like that one moment he is her father (so to say, in public) and then her lover the next. but i do understand.

Wait... you're watching them in reverse?

You trying to make the point that, since the movies involve time travel, you don't have to watch them in order?

Speaking of sequels: I just got finished watching Penitentiary III.

And the reason I wanted to watch it can be summed up in four words:

Homicidal crack-smoking midget dwarf.

A little favorite from the east end of "the pond": Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe.

If you think that's an appalling use of computers, you don't want to look at my hard drive...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fomJPtQQhFE&feature=relmfu
I've never really understood the appeal of these MMORPGS, myself. But then, I hate people enough in the real world, let alone bothering to enter a second made-up universe to learn to despise them all over again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QrsJTIckIw&feature=relmfu
Brooker's brutal take-down of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand in this segment actually makes me wanna play it for some reason.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sGNidyvLVM&feature=relmfu
As you can see, it's a morally blank world in which I'm free to do what I like, and it turns out that what I like to do is be anti-social.

I'm watching Rubber for my second time. In short it's a movie about a tire that goes around a small desert town blowing peoples heads up, yeah...

The great thing about this movie is it makes fun of you for watching it through a audience in the movie. You have to watch it to know what I mean. I give the movie two thumbs up for weirdness.

Yup, I even have all 5 seasons of The Wire on DVD. Fantastic show. Only downside to it is that I can't take all the other cop shows seriously anymore where they start on a murder case and finish it that same episode. Everything from CSI to you name it. I loved how things moved ever so slowly on The Wire as they worked on the same case an entire season (or even longer).

Never seen Hells on Wheels.

Btw, I heard good things about Homeland. Is that any good? It has the actor that played the main character in Band of Brothers, but I can't remember his name.

That was one of the last shows I watched before I pretty much gave up on TV altogether.

It's one of those shows that I think could be adapted into a pretty good movie, if they put some heart and effort into it.

Oh wait, we're talking about Hollywood, here.

In that case, it'll most likely end up a big, fetid, steamin' pile lacking any of the charm or spirit of its source material.

Do you feel like there's actually enough content in the book to warrant a trilogy? Always found that odd. It has cash cow written all over it, imo.
The Lord of the Rings also was a movie trilogy - atleast that made sense since there are actually three books. But The Hobbit is only a 300 page book. How you're going to turn that into three movies while keeping a decent pace seems a mystery to me.

There totally isn't. In the case of this movie they could have cut out an hour of superfluous junk. There's pointless action scenes, extended just...walking/running/flying scenes that go on way too long. Also, they added all this lore that wasn't in the book in order to tie this story to LoTR that I'm certain no one would miss. They also added this stupid villain character that eats up time and is completely unnecessary. If they had left that hour out and made it an hour longer it could easily be one movie.

It has its moments, but it's more disappointing than good.

this post has spoilers for those who care :P

i just got home from watching it and i have to strongly disagree, as a hardcore fan of the book i was (mostly) impressed. yes it wasn't exactly how The Hobbit book itself went, but a lot of the extra lore you mention was true to the canon. throughout the entire production it was clearly stated that they have the rights to use material from the appendices of the Lord of the Rings, and that it would be used extensively. i could easily run through the movie scene by scene and explain all the things they did right and wrong, but i'll stick to a few key pros and cons that i noticed and can remember.

first, there was only one action scene that was entirely wrong, and that was the first battle of the 13 dwarves with bilbo and gandalf vs the orcs on wargs, when the elves showed up. that was no where in the canon material and the small orc party following them throughout the movie was wrong as well, i agree on that part. every other fight was fairly accurate to the books, just with some flourishes and embellishments. there were many battles in the book where they happened very quickly and didn't focus on the actual fighting, as it was a book meant for children and not about action. but tolkien had actually come back to revise the story during the 60s and bring it more in line with LotR (see "The History of the Hobbit" by John Rateliff). he wanted to fix some inconsistencies and write it in the more adult style of LotR (no all knowing narrator, for example). so the fact that the movies expanded on the action and seemed to focus on them was solely because they were trying to tie it more closely with LotR than the original book is, which is a good thing. another reason is that the first movie follows only the first 100 pages or so of the hobbit, with some backstory from the LotR appendices. there were only so many major events to focus on in the Hobbit itself.

next counterpoint to what you said, the walking/running/flying scenes. these were necessary to show that it was an actual journey, and there were major distances involved. Hobbiton to Rivendell is over 450 miles in distance. they then climbed over some of the tallest mountains in the world, and spent 3 days navigating the goblin caverns. all of this takes a lot of time, and in this as in LotR, the journey itself is part of the story. the places they see, the daily struggle just to survive and make it to their final goal. it wouldn't nearly convey that clearly enough if they just cut from them leaving one place to them arriving at another. another point in favour of the travelling is that in the books as in the movies, the world itself is almost a character in and of itself. each region has a distinct feeling and atmosphere, as well as the places in between. seeing the landscapes is a fairly big part of the experience. i will agree that the flying part when on a bit longer than necessary though, i imagined the Eagle's Eyries to be much closer to the place of battle.

the villian character, Azog, was actually canon. but you're right, he shouldn't have been in this movie. during the battle in the prologue at the beginning of the movie, he should have died there. a quote from the Tolkien Gateway (i would quote the books but i don't feel like sifting through pages for a specific quote like this :P) "As Azog gloated over his duel, however, he came to the realization, looking out into the valley which the east gate overlooks, that his entire force was routed. Those that could were fleeing southwards, and all his guards were killed as well. With that he fled back to the gate. Náin's son, Dáin, leaped up the steps after him with his red axe and just before the gate he decapitated the Orc chieftain, thus ending the battle." this also shows that it was Nain, not Thorin, who ended the battle.

i definitely agree some things were wrong, but overall they kept it fairly canon with some expanded parts, especially with radagast and the white council, neither of which have much canon to work with. although they weren't in the book, they should definitely be there. if you read the books, you'll remember the Necromancer was brought up a few times. the white council did meet around that time to debate what to do about him, and there should also be a point (i hope they show this in the 2nd or 3rd movie) where gandalf convinces them that the Necromancer is Sauron (which is true), and that they need to attack. Saruman agrees reluctantly, as at this point he's already started searching for the One Ring for himself and studying the other rings of power, and doesn't want focus brought to the area where the ring was lost (Dol Guldur isn't far from the river Anduin which is where the Disaster of the Gladden Fields took place when Isildur was killed and the ring lost). this all happens around the time of the hobbit if i remember correctly, or at least near enough to it that it would be perfectly alright with me to show that battle while the main Hobbit story is going on.

TLDR - you're right on some points, partially right on some, and personally i would say your overall opinion of the movie's flaws is misguided. i would agree with you if i thought The Hobbit movies should be word for word identical to the book. but Tolkien wrote of and hinted at so much going on in the background of his stories that were just as essential to the plot, even if they weren't in the spotlight, that i think adding them in does nothing but improve on the movies, even if it wouldn't work as well in the books. they are a different medium after all.

and yes, i am a fanboy, but i think my points are still valid :P

i definitely agree some things were wrong, but overall they kept it fairly canon with some expanded parts, especially with radagast and the white council, neither of which have much canon to work with. although they weren't in the book, they should definitely be there. if you read the books, you'll remember the Necromancer was brought up a few times. the white council did meet around that time to debate what to do about him, and there should also be a point (i hope they show this in the 2nd or 3rd movie) where gandalf convinces them that the Necromancer is Sauron (which is true), and that they need to attack. Saruman agrees reluctantly, as at this point he's already started searching for the One Ring for himself and studying the other rings of power, and doesn't want focus brought to the area where the ring was lost (Dol Guldur isn't far from the river Anduin which is where the Disaster of the Gladden Fields took place when Isildur was killed and the ring lost). this all happens around the time of the hobbit if i remember correctly, or at least near enough to it that it would be perfectly alright with me to show that battle while the main Hobbit story is going on.

TLDR - you're right on some points, partially right on some, and personally i would say your overall opinion of the movie's flaws is misguided. i would agree with you if i thought The Hobbit movies should be word for word identical to the book. but Tolkien wrote of and hinted at so much going on in the background of his stories that were just as essential to the plot, even if they weren't in the spotlight, that i think adding them in does nothing but improve on the movies, even if it wouldn't work as well in the books. they are a different medium after all.

and yes, i am a fanboy, but i think my points are still valid :P

I'm a fanboy too, I steeped myself in middle earth lore in my teens and still hold it dear. However, I stand by my argument that they could easily have pared this film down and presented a better final product. It reminds me a lot of Jackson's King Kong. He just tries to put too much in a film and Hollywood gives him the budget anyways.

the real problem is going to see a film adaptation of a book and expecting it to be exactly as you remember the book. everyone who does that is disappointed, but if you go in knowing it's only an adaptation and there will be changes, your opinion of a lot of movies will go up. whenever i watch lotr, even though i'm aware of the differences, i always try to watch it as it's own entity and separate from the books. when seen in that way, the things that make you scream "BUT THAT'S WRONG!" really aren't that bad.

It wasn't that at all. It just wasn't a well made movie, I don't care if they change things, but if they change them and make the story boring and tedious I dun lik it.

There totally isn't. In the case of this movie they could have cut out an hour of superfluous junk. There's pointless action scenes, extended just...walking/running/flying scenes that go on way too long. Also, they added all this lore that wasn't in the book in order to tie this story to LoTR that I'm certain no one would miss. They also added this stupid villain character that eats up time and is completely unnecessary. If they had left that hour out and made it an hour longer it could easily be one movie.

It has its moments, but it's more disappointing than good.

Exactly as I predicted/expected, then. What a shame, Jackson should've known better. Even when it was still going to be a two-parter I had my reservations. But I thought that if they made it into two fairly short (120min max) movies they could get away with it. The same thing happed with Harry Potter 7. It just about works, but the first movie ends nowhere and some scenes just aren't as relevant as I was used to from the other 6 Harry Potter movies. It's so clear HP7 should've been a single 180min movie. The best HP movie (not book!) imo is HP4 (Goblet of Fire).

But making The Hobbit into three 3-hour movies is absurd. Anyone who's ever read the book can tell you they either have to make all scenes unnecessarily long, add irrelevant stuff (LoTR appedices), or do both. Doing the former ruins the pace of the movie, doing the latter ruins the cohesion of the actual story.

I own the Extended Edition box sets of the LoTR trilogy and even those border on absurdity (especially Return of the King) because they're just too long. Trying to do the same when the source material is 1/10th as big is a recipe for disaster.

I'm willing to bet PJ will end up regretting doing an obvious cash cow/fan service trilogy instead of a single 3-hour movie, which would've been just about perfect for The Hobbit. I wouldn't be surprised to see an "abridged" Director's Cut for the 10-year anniversary of the trilogy that cuts all the fluff and restores the pace of the book.

LotR appendixes aren't irrelevant at all, i don't see why fans of the books wouldn't be happy with getting more canon from the books put into film. i would understand if it were all creative licensing, but even though it wasn't in the hobbit book itself, a lot of the extra stuff was definitely happening at the time of the Quest of Erebor. the only places where things were really unneccessary was most of the story with Azog and his orc raids on the dwarves...that was just wrong. and a few things with radagast. but otherwise it was all good, and i hope to see extended editions that add more when the blu-rays come out.

Sabrina - (1954) - B-

--> Not all that remarkable movie with Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn. Some gaffs here and there.

The Shop Around the Corner - (1940) - B

--> Another old movie. This is more of a typical feel-good love story.

The weirdest thing about watching these old movies is looking up their wikipedia pages and seeing they've been dead for decades. A human life doesn't seem to last that long. Humphrey Bogart died in 1957!

Modern Times - (1936) - A

--> A classic, unlike the two above, imo. Some genuinely funny scenes, even today.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? - (2000) - B+

--> Great movie but it doesn't really go anywhere. I know that's the point, but still. The singing was the best part. That and the sirens.

Limelight - (1952) - A

--> Great Charlie Chaplin film, quite serious, too. The whole movie is obviously about Chaplin himself, which is interesting.

The Red Violin - (1999) - B+

--> Fun movie, not what I was expecting but good all the same.

The 39 Steps - (1935) - B

--> A Hitchcock movie. You can see how old this movie is in certain scenes where the lighting is really sub-par. Or maybe it was the film used at the time?

Michael Clayton - (2007) - A

--> Already seen this one before. Great movie.

Post by: Sirgin on December 31, 2012, 01:27:00 PM
Notorious - (1946) - F

--> Even though I complained about the lighting in The 39 Steps, this movie is 100 times worse. Atleast The 39 Steps was engaging. The plot in this one isn't big enough, the scenes are super slow. Everything about it annoyed me. Can't see what Hitchcock was thinking with this one. It starts confusing and ends abruptly. I think he had other things on his mind. Cary Grant and Ingrid Berghman are supposed to be big-time stars of the time but I found their acting dull.

Little Women - (1994) - A

--> Good movie. Typical historical drama, but not too sugar-coated. Funny to see Christian Bale before he was Batman.

Blade Runner - (1982) - B

--> I didn't think it was that special. It must've been at the time, considering all the effects and the style of the movie. I can understand how it was a benchmark, visually. The plot is paper-thin, which annoyed me. These bad guys need to be taken care of. Go. That's it. Why? No clue. I prefer Ghost in the Shell if I were to watch a cyberpunk movie.
The problem with creating near-future sci-fi movies is that you can watch them...in the near future. Some things in this movie seem really advanced, obviously, the androids. Other things are hilariously primitive. I couldn't stop laughing at the scene where Ford inspects a photo on a 8 inch CRT monitor. All the voice commands were stupid. If that's what monitors will be like in 2019, I'd rather have today's tablets with HD touchscreens. ;D Oh and I was annoyed at the fact that it was night the entire movie. And raining.

Watched half of the first episode of Skins(UK) during my break at work. Pretty funny stuff, I'm looking forward to finishing it.

Had dinner at my friend's house and watched Looper. It was really interesting, although I felt there were too many plotholes involving the time travel aspects. Plus the people I watched it with talked through half the movie, so now I have to watch it again to get all of the dialogue that I missed.

Such a thing is inevitable when dealing with the time-travel subset of the sci-fi genre.

Though I suppose it's more noticeable when it's serious business, rather than being played for laughs like the Back to the Future trilogy...

Arguably that's how the story goes, and the comic is the same. After the Joker goes down the whole story arc gets kind of bizarre and politicky.

I wouldn't say either part was better than the other since they were made by the same crew and are part of the same story.

I do think the tunnel of love scene was the most powerful bit for me, and the Superman showdown is awesome. I may have to go with part 2 if I had to choose.

Watched the Inbetweeners movie last night with the GF. It was pretty good, a bit shlocky in that it had such a hunky dory ending compared to anything that ever happened on the show, but that's comedic cinema for you.

Stalag 17 - (1953) - B+
--> Movie about American POW's in a Germany. Quite an enjoyable movie.

Cashback - (2004) - B
--> Interesting movie about a guy who can freeze time, but still move around himself while the rest of the world is frozen.

Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life - (2010) - B
--> Biographical movie about French singer Serge Gainsbourg. While the movie is serious throughout, there's a comic/puppet version of Serge that accompanies him and talks to him. But others can't (always) see it.

Tropic Thunder - (2008) - B-
--> Already saw this one before. Cheesy, but it has its moments. Especially Robert Downey Jr.'s character is funny.

I made like "Nature Boy" Ric Flair when I saw it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lzZ5xzVWS0

Cars gettin' totalled left & right, one of 'em flipping into the air and disintegrating, a couple of 'em shootin' flames out... now, THAT's racin', baby!

If they had more than a few of those in each race-- like, say, a dozen or so each-- I'd never miss one on TV!

'Cuz I sure as hell don't wanna be there in person when the shrapnel comes flyin' into the stands.

Otherwise, who cares about a buncha high-performance billboards going around in circles at 200 MPH for a couple hours? BO-O-O-O-O-ORING!  :sleeping:

No, I wanna freakin' demolition derby of Biblical proportions, baby!  :drool:

Um... the Bible did had demolition derbies in it, right? And if it didn't, it totally should have.

I gotta dig up footage of this bad boy from other angles, BRB

I've started watching Mad Men the last few weeks, and so far, I thought it was kind of "meh". Until the last episode I saw where this happened:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEh7xyRAteY
The show just got a lot better IMO.

Love Mad Men. Fantastic show. I like looking for the Ayn Rand/objectivism references (the show hints of a lot of philosophical and moral topics).

Watching Fringe right now. Considering I like pseudo-science I'm really enjoying this show.

Very vague spoilers, but not really:




Yeah, was chagrined to see another nothing episode. After last week's where they actually had some character development and showed what would happen to Rick if he lost his son, you know, interesting stuff that makes you care about the characters, I had hope for the rest of the season.

Nope, they just went back to an episode of shallow and meaningless conversations that could have been expressed via a 10 minute segment. The only interesting part of the episode was Rick's leadership choice at the end, which kind of gets back to his much more fleshed out character in the comic.

Been gettin' my Charlie Brooker fix with his new Weekly Wipe show.




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVdKzMe07Tc
All this negative... coverage (of the UK horse meat scandal) is the sort of
thing that makes vegetarians happy. Or it would, if they had the energy to
experience happiness.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj8anKrj9NU
Brooker's assessment of the PS4 web launch event starts at 16:28.

Sadly, I'm not diggin' it quite like I did his previous -Wipe shows. I like that he kept the Doug Stanhope Voice of America segment, but he should really kick the Tim Key poetry to the curb toot-sweet. On the upside: I'm happy to see Barry Shitpeas has been given more face time.

Some more of the movies I've seen recently..

Teacher's Pet - (1958) - B
--> Movie about Clark Gable being an old fashioned journalist and Doris Day a journalism college teacher. He follows her class without her knowing.

Berthe Morisot - (2012) - B-
--> Fairly average biographical movie about the life of Berthe Morisot, a (female) impressionist painter, who knew a lot of the more known impressionists like Manet, Renoir and Monet.

Rumble in the Bronx - (1995) - B+
--> Jackie Chan movie. Always fun to watch. Many of the fight scenes are funny.

Shall We Dance? - (1937) - B
--> Fred Astaire/Ginger Rodgers movie. I'm surprised how old this movie is. At this point I've seen atleast 5+ Fred Astaire movies. They're all very similar.

Junebug - (2005) - B+
--> Drama about a highly religious part of the US.

Slow episode, but necessary.  They have to build up for the inevitable war at the end of the season.  Can't have the highs without the lows because the lows make the highs.  Besides, it ain't as bad as the first half of season 2 where they spent 5 episodes doing nothing but looking for Sophia.  THAT was a waste of time that just dragged on.

I guess, my main problem with the show in general is they have these talkie episodes yet don't advance the characters emotionally. It's just shallow writing.

The second-best line came from someone commenting on Jim Marshall's wrong-way fumble-recovery run:

"If ever there was somebody who needed a GPS, this is the guy who needed it."

Date Night - (2010) - B-
--> This movie uses the "so bad it's good" technique quite well.

The Magnificent Seven - (1960) - C+
--> Not nearly as good as Kurosawa's masterpiece, but I didn't expect that.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - (2007) - B+
--> I missed atleast the first 40 minutes of this movie, but that wasn't an issue. A movie like this is 95% atmosphere, 5% story. Enjoyable movie and nice vistas of the open landscape.

Fast Food Nation - (2006) - A-
--> Great movie about the meat processing industry. Everyone who eats a lot of fast food should watch this.

The Kids Are All Right - (2010) - A
--> Excellent movie about two children of a lesbian couple who seek out and meet their sperm donor.

All Quiet on the Western Front - (1979) - C
--> Good acting in some parts, but really tedious. The movie should've been 30 minutes shorter. This is a remake of the 1930s version, which is said to be far superior. I haven't seen that one yet. It also really feels dated in the war scenes. The explosions look so fake. It's like they used a bunch of fire crackers and thought "no one will know the difference". Movies have come a long way since then, it's remarkable. This is the opposite of Saving Private Ryan when it comes to the fighting scenes.

Interesting. I didn't feel like I was missing any important information, but thanks for letting me know.

What I really meant was that there are movies where, if you miss the first 15-30 minutes, you're screwed because you can't follow the story anymore. This isn't one of those movies.


EDIT: Well, atleast I've now seen 2.5 minutes of the 10 minutes you mentioned. :)

Cinderella - (1950) - B+
--> Great Disney movie, lovely animation. Lots of funny moments with the cat and mice.

Limitless - (2011) - B
--> Good movie about a guy taking magic pills that give him access to "100%" of his brain. The ending is a little odd, but otherwise very enjoyable.

Fantasia - (1940) - B-
--> I wasn't crazy about this one. Some scenes took far too long (the one with the dinosaurs) whereas others were better (the one with the centaurs). Overall I think this movie would've done better had it been 30 minutes shorter. That would've put it more in line with other Disney movies.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - (2004) - B+
--> Second time I watched this one. Amazing movie considering how absoluly stupid/random the plot is.

Robin Hood - (2010) - D
--> Poor, dime a dozen action movie. This could've been about anything really and it wouldn't have made a difference. Cate Blanchett was the best part of this movie, even though it was absolutely rediculous how she suddenly showed up for the big fight at the end.

Happy-Go-Lucky - (2008) - A+
--> Wonderful movie. Very original and I liked the unpressurized way the story unfolded. The actor portraying the driving instructor is amazing.

A commercial airliner's engines fail, and the pilot-- who lost his left eye in the El Salvador civil war a few years before-- manages to safely land the plane on a narrow levee several miles south of New Orleans... .

...without the aid of depth perception.

Just finished watching an episode of Air Disasters on the Smithsonian Channel.

I've been watching Mayday to pass the time in the lab and the one that blows my mind the most is the FedEx flight that almost got hijacked. The co-pilot is half paralyzed and doing fighter jet stunts in a Boeing 747, flipping over about 165 degrees and going into a freefall before correcting the plane and regaining control. The other two guys are badly beaten but fighting the would be hijacker (he was a FedEx employee that was trying to hitch a ride so he could crash the plane into headquarters). Eventually the half paralyzed co-pilot switches up with the captain, so the flight engineer and co-pilot are keeping the attacker pinned down while the captain takes the plane down and lands. All of the staff on the flight including the would be hijacker (I think, been awhile since I watched this one) were ex-Navy pilots. Sadly, none of the heroes could fly since their injuries caused permanent damage.

That was one messed-up situation right there.

BTW I think I'm addicted to air-disaster documentary shows; I just finished watching a bunch of them. And after having done so, I know one thing for certain: I am never, ever going to fly on Air France. Of the four shows I caught that featured Air France disasters, three of them were crashes with no survivors, and one was a hostage-taking situation.

On an up note: there's the story of the Gimli Glider, which I'd been hearing about for years. If nothing else, it provides a pretty solid argument for going with a single system of measurement.

In the TV show, I left off where the Devil Bats went to Houston after the close game against the NASA Shuttles.

In the manga, I left off where the team went up against the Shinryuuji Nagas in the Christmas Bowl tournament.

Not too much diff between the manga's storyline and the show's so far, near as I can tell.

I can't stop watching these goddamned airliner disaster documentaries.

Fortunately, some of them ended up without any fatalities, like Sully's ditch into the Hudson a few years back:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuxCBYAaZ9M


And the Air Transat glide-in:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_JD2NjUXjo


But then there was the El Al jumbo jet plowing into an Amsterdam apartment complex:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AmbsieVFcs


But the most disturbing was the mid-air collision over Uberlingen:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHjqun9c4Pc

The collision re-enactment was perfectly edited to really convey the terror of the moment to the viewer, and really driving home how tragic it was. If there's an Emmy for best editing in a documentary series, this scene should have won it, hands down. Some of the scariest and saddest stuff I've seen in a while. And don't get me started on the part where the man whose family was wiped out in the crash sought revenge on the air-traffic controller who was on duty that night, adding yet another layer of tragedy to the deal.

This particular episode had me so rattled, it totally put me off watching airliner-crash docs...

...for about two days.

Then I went on a marathon, checking out the stories of JAL 123, Tenerife, United 811, TWA 800, and others.

Now I'm in the middle of watching one on the notorious Runway 35L at Congonhas Airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil:

Awful. Just... bloody awful. Half the cinema was sniggering during some of it because it was so bad.

Yeah you can tell from the preview there's just nothing to it.

Saw the Great Gatsby yesterday. Was OK, they had some odd stylistic choices as far as cinematography and music, but it wasn't terrible.

watched the first 2 parts (all that's out so far) of James Rolfe (AVGN) and his friend playing and discussing Atari 2600 games. i remember playing a lot of these as a kid and haven't seen them since, until now. really makes me want to get an atari 2600, i feel like my collection will never be quite right without one.

It's ok.  I'm from Seattle too so it's cool to see all the overhead shots of the city and all the references to the Puget sound.  But, the show is a little convoluted.  I'm up to season 3 now and i don't know if I'm going to finish it.

Still more Air Crash Investigation / Mayday episodes, most recently the PSA and Aeromexico mid-air collision shows.

I'm watching many of the same episodes twice now... only this time with the British-sounding narrator, rather than the non-British- sounding one. I've even noticed some the Brit episodes have scenes in 'em that aren't in their non-Brit counterparts, and vice-versa.

I gotta find out if these are available on DVD...

Some movies I've seen this past month (or more):

Brief Encounter - (1945) - B
--> Old British movie about a woman who is on the verge of taking a lover.

The Philadelphia Story - (1940) - B+
--> Typical comedy of the time with Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, etc...all these Hollywood movies of the period are sort of similar.

Lost in Translation - (2003) - A+
--> Such a nice movie. I like how it doesn't try to be more complex than it is. I also like how it's not a typical subject, even among...non-typical subjects. It's so ordinary, it's refreshing.

Once Upon a Time in America - (1984) - A
--> Great movie, enjoyed it a lot. The slower pace compared to today's movies is just great. Wikipedia says there's multiple versions of this movie. It was very long, so I must've seen one of the 200+ minutes versions. I can't believe the US release was 139 minutes! They cut out half the movie. What a joke.

The King's Speech - (2010) - B+
--> Good although predictable story.

Toy Story - (1995) - A+
--> My favorite movie as a kid.

Trainspotting - (1996) - C
--> Far too upbeat and casual about drugs for my liking. I don't like the "everything will be alright" kind of tone near the end of the movie, either.


I've also finally started watching the last season of The Sopranos. I hope to finish that next month.

Have you seen the 2010 Robin Hood? While not exactly a slower paced movie of old, it has way more of that feel than most other recent big movies. Ridley Scott directed, I'm sure that had to do with it. I really like how they spend time fleshing out secondary characters. It really adds to the movie. I just watched it, again, recently.


About long movies and multiple versions: generally I like the really long, directors cuts the best. I like long movies. Don't mind watching the Special Edition Return of the King, and all the credits....

Sometimes the shorter versions are better. My best example is Star Trek The Motion Picture. There are a few really long versions that just drag on, for a long time I didn't much care for this movie. A friend gave me a directors cut, which is about an hour shorter than some of the other cuts. So much better. Its actually a good movie.

I have seen that movie, but can't say I agree with you. I found it very mediocre. At 140 minutes, its length is closer to an standard 100-120 minutes movie than a long movie such as Once upon a time in America or Return of the King. There isn't that much character development, except for the obvious (and therefor a bit annoying) "blossoming romance" between Robin Hood and Marian. What really killed the movie for me though, was the rediculous looking and overacting King John. Plus the unrealistic act of Marian bravely showing up at the fight on the beach but of course needing to be rescued two seconds later. Either make the women strong (see: Kill Bill and Return of the King) or don't bother.

To me it felt like a thinly veiled superhero Hollywood movie with a historical backdrop. I guess it doesn't suffer from the continuous-explosions syndrome which does make it feel slightly less fast-paced than other movies in the genre. Once upon a time in America is a great movie though and Robin Hood certainly isn't.

Post by: nupoile on July 22, 2013, 07:19:40 PM
I was mostly talking about Robin Hood within the confines of what the typical big budget movie of the last few years has been like. I wasn't actually comparing it straight up to Once Upon a Time in America or its like.  ;)

The final scenes I both love and hate...its mostly ridiculous, which is were the 'love it' part comes in.

But I do think it has a bit of character development, all the extra scenes with friar Tuck showing what he was into and why he was on their side...great stuff. The little conversations Hoods team would have which didn't need to be there to further the story...this is what I was talking about, stuff I didn't see in Transformers 2.



I do have a 'problem,' I just like movies because they are movies. I give them lots of breaks.    :P

Now you know what a true hardcore gamer is. Scary, is it not?

After watching this a couple dozen times, I think I might have to quit the internet for a while. So if you don't hear from me for the next several months, you'll know the reason why.

BTW this somehow becomes even more disturbing when you just listen to the audio and use the "theater of the mind" for the visuals.

101 Dalmatians - (1961) - A
--> Classic movie, some hilarious scenes. One more down on my list of trying to see all Disney movies.

Lucky You - (2007) - B-
--> Not a bad movie at all. About a guy who's a 'professional' poker player and has a difficult relationship with his dad, who is the same. He bets on a lot of things. I liked the more technical scenes where they talk about certain hands, etc... The relationship with the girl was predictable.

Meet the Parents - (2000) - B
--> I can't believe this movie is 13 years old...

Toy Story 2 - (1999) - A+
--> My favorite scenes is where they enact the robbery and when the rescue party crosses the street. But really, all scenes are good.

Burn After Reading - (2008) - B+
--> It looks and plays as a typical thriller, but the story is completely random and a big joke. Makes for an entertaining movie though. I'm not surprised the Coen brothers made this. If you're talented enough, you can make a good movie out of the stupidest stories.

Nue Propriété - (2006) - B
--> Typical French/Belgian drama about a mother with grown-up twins who live in an old farmhouse. The mother wants to sell the house but the twins resist.

Rien à dèclarer - (2010) - B-
--> Comedy about Belgian and French custom officials who don't like each other.

The Shipping News - (2001) - B-
--> Movie about Kevin Spacey playing a bit of a loser who goes back to his roots in Newfoundland. Not really bad, but the story is missing something.


I'm also still watching The Sopranos. I've finished part 1 of season 6 and am now 4 episodes into part 2. It's a bit odd why they decided to make it into two parts instead of just adding a 7th season.

I'd been meaning to do so for a long time, but I finally watched all of the Archer episodes available. It's so damn good.

Before that, I re-watched "Better Off Ted" (I missed a day of work, so I had a lot of free time). This has to be one of the most underrated/under-appreciated TV shows of all-time.

I also went to see a bunch of movies in a relatively small window. I would rate them as follows:

1. The Conjuring (9/10):

Didn't expect this, but it was exactly what I needed. It's a very traditional horror movie, but with much, much better cinematography.

2. Pacific Rim (8/10):

Had just enough story to justify all of the special effects. Woke up the kid in me.

3. The Heat (7.5/10):

Not the best comedy I've seen, but it has a ton of one-liners and a few of them really hit hard. I had very low expectations heading in.
 
4. Red 2 (7/10):

It's exactly what you'd expect. I found myself needing to be distracted for a couple of hours after a long day at work and it fit the bill.

5. Wolverine (7/10):

I like that they didn't go too "grand" with the story. I actually thought the movie's scope was perfect. There was just a bit too much psychological drama in it.

6. World War Z (6/10):

Felt like it was going to be awesome (great concept), but the pacing for this movie is awful. It has a few moments of intensity but it has a greater bunch of slow-plodding scenes. It also felt incomplete, to me.

7. 2 Guns (5.5/10):

Generic as generic can be. The banter can sometimes be enjoyable, but that can only carry a movie so far. The only memorable thing about this movie is Paula Patton's "2 Guns".

Right now, I'm working on Battlestar Galactica which I've been meaning to watch for years now (I just started season 3). It's excellent.

the original from the 80s or the re-imagined series that started in 2003? i haven't seen the original but the re-imagined is amazing, watched every episode 3 or 4 times now. i'm currently going through it with a friend right now, up to season 3 too. season 3 finale is one of my favourite episodes.

I kinda know whatcha mean. For example, I think Mel Gibson is a mean, whacked-out douchenozzle-- and I'm certain i'm not the only one who thinks this-- but I still dig the Lethal Weapon and Mad Max flicks.

There's just something about being a top actor in the Hollywood system that leads to insanity I guess.

Other than that, I've been cooling it on the air crash videos, and have been watching Judas Priest concerts and Iron Maiden videos on YouTube over the last few days.

Finished season 5 of Mad Men. Great show.

Some movies I've seen since my last post here..:

Synecdoche, New York - (2008) - B-
--> This is a bit of an odd movie. Actually it's a very odd movie. Caleb (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is a guy who thinks he's going to die, who is depressed all the time and works on a new theatre play that he's never going to finish. Halfway through the movie, "actors" (of the play) start playing him and other people acting as if they're those people. All of this nonsense is sprinkled with a topping of vague philosophy and "I'm more depressed than you are" hipster-ish bullshit. To be fair, the whole think reeks of smug writers trying to show everyone how smart they are.

Hope Springs - (2003) - D
--> Cookie-cutter chick flick with Colin Firth playing Mr Darcy a typical male character in a chick flick. The story finishes in such a lame way I would swear a 13-year old girl wrote it.

The Women - (1939) - B+
--> Typical Hollywood film of the golden era, either you like the style or you don't. I find it refreshing watching a narrative-driven movie, something that has almost entirely disappeared today. This one contains a couple of gags, too.

Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont - (2005) - B
--> Strange movie considering who has the main role. It has an air of low-budget direct-to-video about it. Some of the supporting actors seem amateurs at best. Still, it gets its message across in the end.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being - (1988) - B+
--> Drama starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Juliette Binonche. Day-Lewis must have set the record for least lines spoken by a lead actor in a movie with this one. All he does in every scene is stare at the women with broody eyes.

Highlander - (1986) - B-
--> Terribly stupid and cheesy movie. Why do so many 1980ies movies look so terribly dated when much older movies do not? It has to be the cheap and corny cgi effects. Oooh, lightning! Half of this movie looks like Blade Runner and the Terminator. Lots of dark alleys, neon and steam escaping from vents everywhere, cooool! "Who wants to live forever" is the best part of the movie. The end (the prize) is absolutely stupid.


EDIT: I also started watching season 2 of Game of Thrones and saw the first two episodes of The Newsroom, wich was pretty good.

--> Terribly stupid and cheesy movie. Why do so many 1980ies movies look so terribly dated when much older movies do not? It has to be the cheap and corny cgi effects. Oooh, lightning! Half of this movie looks like Blade Runner and the Terminator. Lots of dark alleys, neon and steam escaping from vents everywhere, cooool! "Who wants to live forever" is the best part of the movie. The end (the prize) is absolutely stupid.


I just always found how cheesy and dated the 80s were to be part of the charm(I wasn't even alive in the 80s and I like 80s stuff)

I just finished watching The Sorcerer's Apprentice(I picked it up cheap pretty much only because it had Nick Cage in it). It was pretty good overall and had a couple jokes I really laughed at.

Watching some high school football on local access. My school is ranked No. 1 in 5A and they're opening the season against the No. 1 ranked 6A team. My school is currently up 35-21 and the 4th quarter just started.

My old O-line coach is the head coach now and my old head coach is announcing.

Man that game turned into a nail biter. The 6A team got two quick scores to tie the game at 35 all. My team then marches down the field to score a touchdown with 6 seconds left in the game. Then they missed the extra point. The defense stopped two late plays including a failed pitch a thon to seal the win.

Final score 41-35.

Finished season 3 of Game of Thrones, for fuck's sake you kind of wish some characters would succeed, or that something...good...would happen.

Also watched the first episode of Orange is the New Black, was good but I have no idea where the show can go, seems like it will get stale.

Watched Lincoln, really good. Like, disturbingly good. Campiness and Spielbergisms aside, I'm not sure anyone involved in making it knew what they were doing, but they did it all the same. It's the story of this country pushed to the brink, and the single man who kept it from toppling off by whatever means necessary.

Grosse Pointe Blank - (1997) - B
==> Not a bad comedy. I liked it.

The Da Vinci Code - (2006) - B-
==> Believe it or not, I've never seen this movie before. I didn't find it that special. I hear the book is better though. The ending was a bit predictable. I know this movie was a big deal when it came out, but meh.

The Talented Mr. Ripley - (1999) - A
==> Great movie. Liked it a lot. Jude Law is a bit of an ass in this one. Why are women in movies set in the near past always so beautiful? I mean, more than usual. It has to be the classic haircuts I guess.
Spoiler (hover to show)

Wonder Man - (1945) - C+
==> Musical comedy. The final scene is pretty good.

(The) Sea Wolf - (2009) - A
==> Not actually a movie, but a two-part mini series. Really liked this a lot more than I anticipated. A lot of the boat scenes seem realistic. It isn't that clear whether or not they were shot in the open sea or in some sort of aquatic backlot.

City Hall - (1996) - C-
==> Not that great. Some clichés, some corrupt cops and city officials. The story is too much cookie cutter to convince. John Cusack isn't as interesting in this as he was in Grosse Pointe Blank.

Bachelor Mother - (1939) - B+
==> Solid comedy of the golden era. Starring Ginger Rogers and David Niven. This is one of Rogers first movies after she quit making dancing movies with Fred Astaire. There's only a small dance scene in this movie.

Watching some stuff on Youtube and came across the old show that the Stooges did at the Cincinnati Pop Festival in 1970.  I had nearly forgotten about the infamous peanut butter scene that happened here (happens about 4:25).  Love watching Iggy prance around, high as a kite, and the audiences reaction to him (adoration/fear/anger/love).  Thought I've share.

Girl was out tonight so I movie'd it up with some man flicks.

Watched The Grey, it was more interesting than I thought it would be. Ended up being philosophical when I thought it would just be a hurr durr Neeson pilot.

Then I started Safe with Jason Statham, and it was too dumb to manage.

Then I started Avatar because I still haven't seen that and I only got thirty minutes in and it was too dumb to manage.

So then I just watched Eastern Promises for the zillionth time and it was good reliable friend as always.

The Hoax - (2006) - B-
--> About Richard Gere playing an author who fakes the autobiography of Howard Hughes, and eventually pretends to be him...-ish.

Magic Town - (1947) -  B-
--> Movie about a town that happens to be the perfect average town in America. The word gets out and the town gets flooded with people doing public opinion polls. With James Stewart.

The Greatest - (2009) - B
--> Drama about parents whose son dies. Pierce Brosnan and Susan Sarandon play the parents. I'm not a big fan of these typical dramas.

Fame - (1980) - C
--> Average musical with average songs and no plot whatsoever. It just ends. Why do people like this movie?

Tried watching some Nostalgia Critic while I played some vidya games and he just comes off as grating and unintelligent. I'm not sure if he changed or I did. I feel like his newer videos have too much opinion and not enough clever expose, which is what made his earlier stuff watchable. Or I've just grown too cynical and jaded to think his stupid sense of humor is funny.

Post by: Sirgin on December 09, 2013, 12:20:07 PM
Some movies I've seen in the past month...

WarGames - (1983) - A
--> Solid movie, fun to see all the old computer stuff. My only critique would be that I'd have liked to see Broderick doing more of the hacking, or stuff on computers. The movie quickly derails from a hacker movie to an action movie.

Shaft - (2000) - C
--> This one is so average and unremarkable I wonder why they even bothered.

The Stepford Wives - (2004) - B
--> Again with Matthew Broderick, 21 years after WarGames.  ;D This is a fine movie, with a predictable, but enjoyable plot.

A King in New York - (1957) - F
--> Such a bad movie. I don't know who Charlie Chaplin thinks he is, but he sure lost his touch in his later years. I felt the same way about Limelight. Such lame lamenting and self-pitying doesn't belong in a movie. This movie has everything in the works to be a great comedy, and for the first 40 minutes, it is. Then it takes the most remarkable turn I've ever seen in any movie and suddenly becomes a serious satire of the US at the time. If you want your viewers to feel tricked and annoyed, then changing a film's genre halfway through the movie is a great way to do just that.

Wonder Boys - (2000) - A
--> Lovely movie about a univerity professor with a writer's block and a student who is probably more talented than his professor (at writing).

Tower Heist - (2011) - B-
--> Another movie with Broderick, haha. This one is mostly forgettable, but does enough right not to annoy. I would've liked to see some more classic Eddie Murphy.

Saw Desolation of Smaug...

Fucking atrocious. There's about thirty to forty minutes worth of good movie that actually ties to the source material, and then there's all the stupid crap they added along with like two hours of overly boring overly CGI'd overly  Rube Goldberg machine'd action sequences.

Almost all the additions to the plot are unneeded. The only one that was okay was the side plot with Gandalf investingating Dol Guldur which, while not being explicit to the Hobbit, is inferred and was to be expected.

But a love interest between Kili and an Elf? Legolas? Stephen Fry the dictator of Lake Town? Again with a new annoying BAD GUY ORC ANTAGONIST?

I have no idea how people are saying this one was any better than the first.

Bridget Jones's Diary - (2001) - B-
--> Nothing to say really.

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason - (2004) - B-
--> The same as the first one.

Rio Bravo - (1959) - B-
--> This movie is incredibly long considering nothing happens in it outside of the final few scenes. I don't mind dialogue in movies, but atleast the plot should evolve. In this movie, you get 2 hours of talking about nothing.

Emma - (1996) - B+
--> A great and fun movie. It's the second time I've seen this one.

Tai-Pan - (1986) - B
--> A bit cheesy, okay very cheesy. But fun in some parts.

The Jungle Book (1967) - A
--> What a classic. Still holds up better today than most movies released now.

not "right now" but for new years day a couple friends and i will be doing a LotR extended editions marathon. one of my friends hasn't read the book or seen the movies, so i'm interested to see how someone with little to no knowledge of them reacts to things. i wanted her to read the books first but she's really lazy and it's just not going to happen unfortunately. at least with the movies my other friend and i can make her get through them all (she's into it too so it's not all forced :P)

Having seen just about every Air Crash Investigation episode twice, and now new ones forthcoming for a little while, I've been checking out other air-crash docs like this TV New Zealand presentation on the Mt. Erebus crash in Antarctica:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP36X0BsMQ0


And I'm starting to dig into what has become an annual favorite from the east end of "the pond": Charlie Brooker's 2013 Wipe.

(Available on YouTube)


My fave part of what I've seen so far are the SanFran Fox affiliate news channel's reciting of the obviously phony flight-crew names of the Asiana crash at SFO. Seriously, they actually thought Captain Sum Ting Wong and co-pilot Ho Lee Fuk were real names? 10-year-old crank callers come up with less hackish material! No wonder I don't take the news media seriously...

UPDATE: I removed the YouTube embed for 2013 Wipe after remembering one segment showing bare boobs-- and really nice ones at that-- as well as a split-second photomontage of schlongage. Better safe than sorry...

Watching movies is just about the only thing I've been doing this month besides studying for exams. I've managed to watch quite a lot of movies, actually.. :speechless:

The Wizard of Oz - (1939) - B+
--> First time I've seen this movie. It's nice and sweet, but didn't amaze me. Then again, for a 1939 film, the picture quality seemed excellent. Of course, when it comes to less popular old movies, I very much doubt whether studios bother to rescan them digitally.

Enchanted - (2007) - B
--> Quite a funny movie. I'm sure it's quite hard to act naive and make it believable as done in this one by Giselle.

Suspicion - (1941) - C-
--> For a Hitchcock movie, I was dissapointed. However, this movie has perhaps one of the best comedy-to-thriller transitions I've ever seen. Really subtle and effective. Chaplin should've watched this before making A King in New York. But other than that, the movie is a bit daft and the ending so lame it almost seems as if they simply ran out of funds.

Tron: Legacy - (2010) - B
--> Cool effects, the Grid looks so much nicer than in the original (no surprise there though). I really liked the music by Daft Punk. Some of the songs I need to check out on Youtube. Other than that, it's a relatively standard action movie. Oh, but cool how they had the younger Jeff Bridges in there.

Pretty Woman - (1990) - C
--> Meh, nothing to say.

Casino - (1995) - A
--> Great movie. Robert de Niro and Joe Pesci are great in this. I suppose Sharon Stone is as well, but her character is obnoxious.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs - (2009) - C+
--> Not too impressed with this one. Yes, there are some fun sequences. But the animation feels a bit lacking in parts, and so does the plot. I realize that just about all animated movies have the same basic plot, but this one just felt too cliché.

The Sound of Music - (1965) - A-
--> How could you not love this movie? I find it best to only watch it every 3-4 years at most, though.

Shooter - (2007) - B-
--> Some parts are exciting, the main "getaway" perhaps most so. I did like the technical talk about the sniper stuff. About halfway through the movie, the sniper focus fades somewhat and is replaced by commonplace action.

Titanic - (1997) - B
--> You're here, there's nothing I fear...lalallaa.

Tropic Thunder - (2008) - B-
--> My favorite scenes are the ones with Tom Cruise. Oh, and the director stepping on the landmine is great.

Highlander: Endgame - (2000) - D-
--> Even worse than the original (haven't seen the other 2-3 movies). The villain in this one is especially stupid.

And I've seen more movies still. Though I intend to pick up gaming again now that my exams are over (I've literally barely gamed at all these past 2-3 months :-\)

American Pie 2 - (2001) - C+
--> These are all pretty much the same movie.

Proof - (2005) - B-
--> This movie started promising, but the ending let me down. I wished there was an actual exhibition (with professors and academics) of the proof.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World - (2003) - B+
--> Really cool movie. What I found most interesting is how there young boys who are officers-to-be (I guess) that already command some of the sailors and seamen.

Melancholia - (2011) - D-
--> I guess I understand what this movie is trying to be, but I just don't like it. It feels too....pretentious. And the characters are very tiring and annoying to watch. It is however interesting how this has the same basic plot as Armageddon yet is a completely different movie altogether. Armageddon may be filled with typical American movie clichés, but it's way more enjoyable to watch.

The Nanny Diaries - (2007) - C+
--> Too average of a movie to really compliment. It's watchable, especially if you're not paying that much attention, but that's about it.

The Blues Brothers - (1980) - B+
--> Great movie, but I wasn't hooked immediately. At first I thought the plot was slow and the scenes were random. Certainly a movie that gets better towards the end.

The Devil Wears Prada - (2006) - B-
--> A movie about fashion and stuff.

Fireflies in the Garden - (2008) - B
--> Decent drama, but the ending wasn't as interesting as I had hoped.

Drive - (2011) - A
--> Great movie. I like the "behind the driver" fixed camera angle that they use here for many of the driving scenes. The music also fits in really well with the nighttime scenes.

Bright Star - (2009) - B
--> A good movie, but not great because some of its characters are really annoying: Brown is just an arse and Fanny's super obsessive nature is a bit...unrealistic? (in my opinion).

Cars 2 - (2011) - B-
--> Noticably worse than any other Pixar movie I've seen (most of them). The main, and perhaps only, issue is that there is way too much plot crammed into the movie. As a result, rather predictably, there's hardly any time for reflection or slower scenes in general, and as a result the movie hurts because of it. Could've been much better.

Julie & Julia - (2009) - B+
--> Fun movie about a girl that wants to cook all recepies in a famous cookbook in a year.

Lethal Weapon 4 - (1998) - C+
--> Okay action movie, but not amazing.

I decided to get away from air disaster shows for a while, and went for some more light-hearted fare.

So I watched several documentaries about people with rare diseases and genetic disorders. The one about some children who were unable to sense pain-- and therefore couldn't tell whether they'd been injured-- was a real downer...

...but apparently not enough of a downer, as I continued my marathon of fun and frivolity with a doc filmed by a man whose mother, aunts and half/step-aunts were all repeatedly molested by his sadistic grandpa when they were kids. The molested women were shockingly candid about what gramps did to them back in the day, leaving little to the imagination. I wasn't surprised that several of the victims ended up alcoholic, suicidal, and/or practically homeless.

I topped things off by viewing profiles of people who'd been wrongfully convicted of heinous crimes, fought for their release from prison, and were eventually freed. Relatively upbeat stuff compared to the previous shows I just watched, even if most of the subjects profiled languished in the clink for two decades or more. Really restores my faith in the American justice system, lemme tell ya.

Now I know what you're thinking: I probably should stop watching this stuff... and you're probably right. It's bad enough I have a low opinion of humanity as it is, but what I just witnessed made me not want to leave the house even more than I already do.

All right, I'm done bumming you out, it's off to bed with me.

Post by: Izret101 on February 05, 2014, 01:24:37 AM
I've been on a Netflix marathon over the last few days. Some of these i checked out a couple weeks ago.

The Rig - Creature escapes from the depths and attacks a deep sea oil rig.

MegaQuake: Hour That Shook Japan - Nuclear fallout anyone?

Ben Franklins Pirate Fleet - Don't remember most of it. Watched it over several nights before falling asleep.

Nova: Mystery of Easter Island - see above. Though i am pretty sure i've seen it before. Nova tends to get recycled A LOT.

Nat Geo Secret of Yosemite - Beautiful landscape.

Discovery Atlas: Uncovering Earth - 5 eps covering various places

Dirty Jobs - saw all of these when the show first aired. Watched most of them with my son. Skipped anything with animal breeding though. Not interested in explaining a giant horse dick or why a guy is elbow deep in a cows butt to my 6 year old.

Nova Secrets of the Sun - outdated.

Nova: Deadliest Volcanoes - see above and/or nothing you haven't heard before if you are interested in the subject.

Raging Planet 8 eps - saw some of these when they had first aired. Still kinda interesting though.

Is It Possible 3 eps - Dated. Nothing really special or that hasn't been shown again on other shows.

Weird or What? 7 eps - See above. But include national geographic magazine in the list of places that had some of the same stuff. Like the Cocaine Mummies mystery.

Tornado Rampage 2011 - Who remembers the rampaging tornados?

Surviving Katrina - don't remember most of it. Watched it over several nights to fall asleep.

Sinking of an Aircraft Carrier - Don't get too excited Zag. Was decommissioned and being turned into a man made reef.

Mega Engineering season 1(?) - Seen almost all of these before too. Dated info. Some of it completely asinine. Like building a dome over Houston. "What is the most creative way we can waste billions of dollars in resources and man hours and claim it will be beneficial?"

Red Dawn (the "new" one) - I liked it. Thor and the ex fat kid from Drake and Josh are in it. It also lead me too.....

Tomorrow When The War Began - Same premise but in Australia. Because every nation wants to invade The Outback. Had kind of a different atmosphere though. Unique enough that i also enjoyed it.

Stake Land - kinda strange. I think it came out when the other Adventure/Zombie/etc land movies did. Vampires and religious whackos are destroying the world. Started in the south. Shocking...

Unknown - Also strange. It all comes together eventually but putting the pieces together is kind of long winded. They try to throw you a curve ball but it ends up being REALLY obvious.

Olympus Has Fallen - Morgan Freeman should be the president IRL. But if he is he will need more balls than he had in the movie. Never give in to demands.

John Dies at the End - weird... spoiler alert. the title is a lie.

Turbo FAST 5 eps - Watched these with my son. Actually not bad. Kinda hope they make more episodes

End of Watch - turned this one off to watch Turbo. I think i caught the last 15ish minutes of this before. Because i knew what was going to happen but it shouldn't have been so obvious. Enjoyed it.

Nova: Ice Age Death Trap - on now but i just realized i saw it a couple months ago and never rated it. Stupid Netflix putting items up for suggestion that i have already watched.


On regular TV
Almost Human - love this show.

Brooklyn 99 - Love this show.

Helix - Actually dislike most of the characters/backstory on this show but just want to know WTF is going on so i have to keep watching.

Modern Family - wish i had started watching it sooner.

Being Human - Half the time i like it 1/4 of the time is meh, 1/4 of the time i have limited interest.

a bunch of other stuff i can't remember now because i am up too late posting when i should be sleeping.

Snowday today when i wasn't shoveling a foot of snow i was watching movies... while grinding Ascend again...

Indie Game: The Movie - excellent. Games primarily focused on were Super Meat Boy, Braid, Fez. Was really more about the process and effect it had on the guys making the games than about the games themselves. Highly recommended.

Battle Royale - have the second one queued up. Maybe check it out tomorrow.

Parker - Statham flick. He gets the shit kicked out of him more than once too.

Blitz - Statham again.

Sharknado - so fantastically terrible you can't help but keep watching it.

Rubber - wanted it to be like above. But was so terrible i couldn't even be bothered to keep scene skipping to find the good parts.

Assault on Wall St - Too long winded(WAY to much background/lead up to the Assault) probably could have been condensed into a 30 minute movie the bulk of which being the actual assault. Rampage was better.

Area 407 - LAME. Plan crashes people are attacked by an unknown thing
Spoiler (hover to show)
. Feels like a SciFi movie

Redemption - Statham flick. He hooks up with a russian nun.

Restrepo - Cameraman following a deployment in Korangal Valley Afghanistan. Also had interviews post deployment spliced in. Excellent.

Severe Clear - Marine took his camera on deployment during Operation Iraqi Liberation. Much gorier footage than in Restrepo but i liked that film better.

Battle Royale 2 - Liked the first one better.

Catching up on the latest batch of Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe.

Seems we watch the same movies Anthony.

Battle Royale was much better than its sequel.
Area 407 I had a passing interest in because 407 is the Orlando area.
Rubber was very slow, but definitely had its moments. Still a pain to sit through.

I saw Assault on Titan showed on Netflix today. Looks really interesting, 25 episode anime series. I might toss that on. Chrome Shelled Regios was pretty good, and this feels like a similar vibe.

New Police Story - (2004) - C
--> Not too wild about this one. The action was a bit silly in a bad way, and Jackie Chan isn't that great at drama.

The Duchess - (2008) - B
--> Good costume drama, not amazing.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past - (2009) - C-
--> Really stupid chick flick, wasn't expecting much though.

The Break-Up - (2006) - C-
--> Really annoying movie. Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn's characters shout at each other for half the movie.

Rounders - (1998) - B-
--> I know this is somewhat of a cult film among poker fans. I'm not really that into poker, but the movie was alright.

The Lonely Guy - (1984) - C-
--> I really don't like these Steve Martin movies that look like they were made on a tiny budget. It isn't that funny either.

Definitely, Maybe - (2008) - B
--> Decent chick flick, better than the Break-Up of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.

Ran through all the Futurama seasons/"movies".

Regular Show season 1 - almost positive these are "originals" and have been edited in the re-airings on TV. Like the ep where Mordecai is "so pissed" at Rigby.

Code Monkeys season 1&2 - was actually pretty funny. I mostly watched while playing games but it did a pretty good job of keeping my attention.

The Re-Inventors season 1 - working through this now. I think their might be a season 2 but can't remember.

Robot Chicken - Pretty sure they only have one season on here. I own more than that on DVD so i probably won't bother finishing this out.

Various shows that have been branded as History/Smithsonian/Discovery/Science/Etc

Also saw something online about Heroes getting brought back. So i started watching season 1 of that again. It has been so long since i saw it that most of it feels fresh.

My daughter has fallen in love with A Goofy Movie.  I've watched it no less than 20 times in the past week.  I tried to throw in some other movies just to get a break from it and she didn't make it more than 15 minutes before she started begging me to put on "Daddy Goof and Baby Goof" again.

Even with as many times as I've had to watch it, it's not a bad movie.  The songs are pretty good, there's a solid story and it makes me long for a time when there were still hand animated movies out in theaters.  There are a lot worse movies that could be on loop in my house.

I also took my daughter out to see Frozen on Friday.  Holy shit was that better than I was expecting.  It was the first animated movie I've seen in quite a while where I was actually emotionally invested in the characters.  It's coming out on DVD in a few days, so if you haven't seen it, it's definitely worth a rent at least.

Since last post.

Finished Season 1 of the Re-Inventors. God i hope it was the only season(because if there was a second season i will feel obligated to watch it). Some of the stuff was cool to see but the guys on the show were douches. I don't know if they were scripted to seem like giant dickbags or they just naturally are.

Watched a movie called Grabbers which was way better than i had anticipated it being. Gist of the movie. Creature gets loose in Ireland. It feeds on blood. Stay drunk to stay alive.

Today i checked out Attack on Leningrad. Another pretty good flick. Liked that each group spoke their own language in the movie and was subbed. Watching a movie with people speaking accented english to match their country of origin feels kind of stupid sometimes.

And started running through episodes of Mythbusters at night. Cleared season one and think i ended up halfway through season 2

Lillyhammer is great but in a fun and quirky sort of way. It's not serious in the way The Sopranos is. I've seen 2 seasons of it, not sure if a third season is already out.

Yeah we watched the first episode and I liked it. Not sure if we'll continue, I might have to watch it on my own. The problem for my GF wasn't the content but that for some reason the roku doesn't show the Norwegian subtitles so we have to turn on the closed captioning, which bugs her out.

Started watching Comedy Bang Bang which is pretty durn funny.

I do recommend that you stick with it. The characters grow on you after a while. There are also some Sopranos tributes thrown in here and there, especially in the second season.


Anyway, some movies I've seen in the last 2-3 weeks:

Valkyrie - (2008) - B
--> Neat WWII movie with Tom Cruise. Not an explosion-fest but a proper thriller.

The Heartbreak Kid - (2007) - C
--> Average romantic comedy with Ben Stiller.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - (1998) - B
--> An odd movie. Not sure what to make of it. Don't do drugs.

Blues Brothers 2000 - (1998) - C-
--> Worse than the original, it's mostly a poor rehash of the original. Just like in the original, the best scene is when the band gets booked to play a different genre other than blues.

Death Proof - (2007) - A-
--> Great Tarantino movie. As with most of his movies, you just can't look away once you start watching. Unfortunately, despite Tarantino's signature super-long-conversation scenes, this one suffers from shallow and negligible conversation, much less interesting than what he wrote for Pulp Fiction or Inglorious Basterds.

Four Weddings and a Funeral - (1994) - B-
--> Every romantic comedy should atleast be this good, which is still far from amazing.

Quantum of Solace - (2008) - C+
--> Average Bond movie and dissapointing after Casino Royale, which was great. This one suffers from a stupid plot and mostly average action scenes. I thought the opening chase scene in Casino Royale was better than anything in this movie. This movie also contained the stupidly-remote-yet-hightec villain's lair.

Brave - (2012) - A-
--> Terrific Pixar movie and a delight after being dissapointed by Cars 2. The story was slightly too predictable for this movie to be a true Pixar classic, but good nonetheless. This is the minimum quality I expect from a Pixar movie, honestly. Great CGI, too.

Chain of Fools - (2000) - C
--> Stupid heist comedy movie. I guess the best part is that the movie doesn't take itself seriously at all.

I really need to post about some of the movies I've seen before I forget what they were about.

The Big Sleep - (1946) - B-
--> Classic Hollywood movie with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall about...something. The plot is quite complex and it's been atleast 3 weeks ago since I saw this movie.

Troubled Water - (2008) - B+
--> Great drama about a guy who wrongfully gets accused of repeating a crime commited in the past.

Intolerable Cruelty - (2003) - B
--> Mostly typical romcom tripe, but something about a movie with George Clooney that always make them atleast mildly entertaining.

Capote - (2005) - A
--> Terrific movie starring the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Ella Enchanted - (2004) - B-
--> I should really rate this lower, because the film doesn't take itself seriously for one moment, but I can't. I kept picturing Hugh Dancy as Daniel Doronda, a 2002 series I recently saw, which was quite amusing by itself.

Adventures in Babysitting - (1987) - B
--> If anything, this film feels like a rehersal of what would become Home Alone. It's very similar in style, which isn't surprising as they're both directed by Chris Columbus.

The Broken Circle Breakdown - (2012) - C--
--> A Belgian drama, nominated for Best Foregn Language Film at the oscars no less, but I don't like it one bit. I find it incredibly boring. These "we're sad during pretty much the entire movie!" dramas typically have very little actual plot. This one is no exception.

Pedal - (2001) - B+
--> Interesting documentary about bike messengers in NYC.

I've been winding down my nights by watching various anime series. I got through the first season of Assault on Titan, which was fantastic (and the dub is coming to Adult Swim next month). I followed that up with Soul Eater, which felt like it was wrapped up way too fast and had a lot of potential. Sword Art Online is the next one I've started, and it seems like a spiritual successor to .hack.

I guess I should finish up Assault on Titan. It felt like it was just turning into DBZ though. They would all just stand there and look at the monsters in the distance and talk about their feelings for three episodes inbetween anything actually happening.

I finished the book Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell and watched the movie right after that. Really enjoyed it, though from the perspective of having read the book already I can't imagine how difficult it would be to follow if you only watch the movie. It's very complex with six completely separate stories and characters that are connected only in subtle ways for the most part. I still think it was amazing and worth a try, but be prepared to think a lot, it's one of those movies that requires focus or you'll get lost really fast.

The Godfather - (1972) - A
--> Classic.

The Kite Runner - (2007) - A+
--> Fantastic movie, everyone should watch it.

We Bought a Zoo - (2011) - C
--> Odd subject for a romcom movie.

The Hunger Games - (2012) - B
--> Decent movie, but I wasn't blown away. The actual "games" weren't as exciting as all the build-up beforehand.

The Weather Man - (2005) - B
--> Nicolas Cage plays a bit of a loser, who gets stuff thrown at him. The movie's ending was a bit too predictable.

Mission: Impossible - (1996) - B
--> The computer room scene is the best part of the movie.

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol - (2011) - A
--> I like this one a lot better than the original movie. Many great scenes.

Skyfall - (2012) - B-
--> Considering all the talk about this movie, I was a bit dissapointed. The final 30 minutes has far too much dull action, and then the movie is suddenly over. Granted, I missed the first 40 minutes of the movie.

Top Gun - (1986) - C+
--> Some good scenes, a lot of stupid scenes too.

The Young Victoria - (2009) - B
--> Not a bad period film. I've seen this one before.

Cellular - (2004) - B-
--> Decent thriller, but a lot of it was really predictable.

Surprised you gave Weather Man and Mission Impossible the same grade, and Skyfall a worse one. Weather Man was fairly predictable and one of Cage's worse outings IMO. Of course, that may have been amplified by the fact that I saw Wicker Man around the same time.

I finished the book Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell and watched the movie right after that. Really enjoyed it, though from the perspective of having read the book already I can't imagine how difficult it would be to follow if you only watch the movie. It's very complex with six completely separate stories and characters that are connected only in subtle ways for the most part. I still think it was amazing and worth a try, but be prepared to think a lot, it's one of those movies that requires focus or you'll get lost really fast.

I just started watching that last night. My girlfriend wasn't quite into it, mostly because the audio on the version I have isn't so great, so we ended up switching to A Clockwork Orange (o.0) but I'm going to have to go back and finish Cloud Atlas.

Finally finished all 10 seasons of Mythbusters.

Also watched last month:
How I Live Now - decent but not at all what i was hoping for.

The Running Man - haven't seen it in ages.

The Ninth Gate - Better than i was expecting

Apartment 1303 - not as terrible as i was expecting

Texas Chainsaw - nothing special

House Hunting - pretty cool concept. Better than i was expecting

StarShip Troopers: Invasion - Decent

Planet Hulk - I liked it. Hulk always as Hulk and being able to carry conversations is strange to me though.

Hulk vs. Thor / Hulk vs. Wolverine - Enjoyed both of them. Maybe Hulk vs Thor a bit more since Hulk was wrecking shop in other realms and pissing off the gods.

Iron Man: Rise of Technovore - art style put me off a bit at first. But pretty good.

Ultimate Avengers - seen it before.

Ultimate Avengers 2 seen it before

Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United - i liked the banter between the two of them.

Terms and Conditions May Apply - You have no privacy on the internet anywhere ever and willingly give up everything all the time. Kinda sucks. Also YAAAY NSA please don't come kick down my door over some misunderstanding! love you guys :D

Thor: Tales of Asgard - Thor and Loki as teens. Also had fantastic bantering.

Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers - Thor and Loki as old guys. Loki has finally bested Thor but still isn't happy. Lots of back story and whining about why he is how he is.
 
Doctor Strange - Seen it before.

Machete Kills - completely ridiculous and full of over the top violence and blood sprays and death scenes. Fantastic.
 
Avalon - pretty cool. People play an illegal VR game in the future but lines of reality end up getting pretty blurred.

Beowulf (2007) - animated. Tons of big names. Pretty good certainly not the same story i remember from high school

Saints and Soldiers - fantastic WWII story. Follows a few characters for a couple days. Few US troops escape a firing squad meet up with a Brit and help him deliver his gathered intelligence.

Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed - Had actually watched this one first. Also excellent. Few US troops aid French resistance while trying to find their platoons.

Aeon Flux - meh

Watching King of the Hill tonight. "Death Picks Cotton" I had never seen this episode before, but had to share a quote:

Cotton: "Hank, all this dyin's got me to thinkin', I mights not live forever. And there's certain things I'd like done once I pass."

Hank: "But dad, you're not gonna die, ever again."

Cotton: "I want you to cut off my head, and mail it to the Japanese emperor...put a couple of worms in my mouth to scare that sumbitch"

Ha ha ha. Cotton was an awesomely written character. King of the Hill might be my favorite of all the animated TV series of our time.

World War Z: Unrated - Decent. Been quite some time since i read WWZ but this seemed rather different....

Forgotten Planet: Abandoned America - Abandoned towns, cities, military establishments. Also gave cool back story. Detroit made the list ;)

Inside Combat Rescue: Season 1: "Visions of War" - Only watched this first ep. Show is good. 99% sure their siren yells "Leroy Jenkins"

Red State - Deep south religious crazy cult crosses toes with the law/gov. Didn't know it was a Kevin Smith flick until i finished it. Was pretty surprised at that.

Hitler's Secret Attack on America - He torpedoed the shit out of the entire east coast and inlets.

God Bless America - Guy has terrible life. Decides before dying he is going to do his best to rid the US of all that ails it. Starting with popculture TV garbage.

Super - Really liked this one. Guy from The Office/Juno loses his wife to drugs. Decides to become a superhero.

National Geographic: Most Amazing Moments - collection of OMG moments from several categories. Natures wrath, animal attacks on people animal attacks on animals, etc

Escape from Tomorrow - Absolute rubbish

The Final Countdown - I first heard about this 5 or so years ago. Was WAY better than i had expected considering it was an 80s movie.

Nova: 3D Spies of WWII - They used airplanes to snap pics from 2 cameras at slightly different angles and then used special glasses to make those images 3d. Pretty bad ass.

Nova: Bombing Hitler's Dams - This operation was briefly mentioned in the above show. They bombed a dam at night in pitch black from stupid low altitude with a brand new type of special bomb that spun backwards so it would skip across the water and rest at the foot of the damn then explode once it sunk to a specific depth. Also bad ass.

Interview with a Hitman - Life story of a hitman from Europe. Doesn't end well for him.

Pain & Gain - Pretty good at keeping the momentum through the whole flick. I think this was the best role i have ever seen The Rock play.

Superheroes - Followed real life superheroes. Some of them were really warped (well i guess all of them were at least a little warped) but pretty much all of them seemed to accomplish good stuff.

I watched a Kevin Smith special on Epix called "Kevin Smith: Burn in Hell" a few months back and he talks about Red State. It was a movie he had wanted to do for DECADES, but nobody would give him the time of day because "Nobody wants to see a movie THAT dark."

In the special, he said he presented the movie idea in the same way he always did when approaching a distributor, and she didn't even read the script, but approved it. He had to ask her..."I have been promoting this idea for decades and nobody has ever taken the chance, yet, you approved it without a thought, why?" She replied, "You have worked with Bruce Willis in a successful film, (Cop Out), what more do I need to know about you? If you have the experience and leadership to work with and achieve success with someone that talented, that is all I need to know."

Smith hated the idea of directing Cop Out because he didn't write it, but went with it because it was a chance to work with Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan and a chance to basically be free from criticism. His sentiment was that if it failed, he didn't write it, so he wasn't responsible. For something he didn't want to be involved in to open the door for something he worked so hard for, and so long for, was something he became a little emotional about in the special.

I'm now hooked on the Miscarriages of Justice documentary series, which primarily features people wrongly imprisoned for crimes they didn't commit, and what they went through to regain their freedom. You know, a more upbeat alternative to all those air crash shows I've burnt out on.

Admittedly, several of the falsely-convicted subjects had at least some history of petty criminal activity, so their backgrounds didn't do them any favors at trial. None the less, I'm even less inclined to trust authority than I already do.

In case you're curious, here's the episode on Marty Tankleff, accused of murdering his parents in his late teens:

The Philadelphia Experiment - I liked The Final Countdown better. But this was still decent.

Birdmen: The Original Dream of Flight - Wingsuits actually got their start ~80 years ago. Crazy. Pretty interesting history & fantastic visuals.

Forgotten Planet: Season 1: "Namibia/Bodie"    
Forgotten Planet: Season 1: "Hashima/Gray"    
Forgotten Planet: Season 1: "Chile/Detroit"    
Forgotten Planet: Season 1: "Salton Sea/Weston"    
Forgotten Planet: Season 1: "Balestrino/Hunters Point"
Forgotten Planet: Season 1: "Pripyat/Picher"

Nature: Cracking the Koala Code - Fell asleep 15-20 minutes in. All i remember is koala babies are called joeys and they stop drinking milk and start eating poop so they can digest leaves.

Phantom - Awesome movie about the USSR sub that was taken over by KGB fanaticals and tried to nuke the US

National Geographic Lost Subs Disaster at Sea - will fall asleep to. Guess i'll watch it again later.

Post by: Boshamp on June 27, 2014, 12:44:17 AM
I have been watching it with my son since it started back up on Nickelodeon. They are doing a wonderful job, it is a throwback to the 80's cartoon, but nickelodeon made it clear this was what they want to replace Spongebob in the 2-11 year old audience. ;)

My favorite surprise was seeing Rob Paulsen in the cast, but instead of playing Raphael as he did in the 1987 original, he voices Donatello. They also do flashbacks to the original characters throughout the seasons, (all voiced by the original voice actors). You may also recognize some of the other voices you hear as you watch as they are very well known voice actors in many other cartoons and video games over the years; Seth Green (Leo in season 3 on), Jason Biggs (Leo for the first 2 seasons), Sean Astin (Raph), Greg Cipes (Mikey), Nolan North (Kraang), Kevin Michael Richardson (Shredder), and Rosanne Barr (Kraang Prime) to name a few of the talented individuals involved in the revival of my favorite show of all time.

Dude that cast sounds awesome lol. One of the guys has to be from Tiny Toons he sounds so familiar.  Aweomse to know they do the flashbacks too! I was gonna keep watching but now I'll move it up the list. 2 seasons to catch up on now heh

Post by: Boshamp on June 27, 2014, 12:37:08 PM
If you subscribe to Pay tv and get Nickelodeon within your package, you will have access to all the episodes on demand, otherwise, there are plenty of other slightly more difficult to access viewing options. ;) I'll bet the person you are likely thinking of is Rob Paulsen, that dude has been in everything I loved growing up from the original GI Joe, Sonic, He did Yakko and Pinky from Animaniacs, Most all of the Turtles cartoons, Samurai Jack, Darkwing Duck, Powerpuff girls, the Tick, and even Biker Mice from Mars. It wouldn't surprise me if he did Tiny Toons as well as hundreds of other stuff.

EDIT: I just looked him up while I had the time, He did do many voices on that show. The ones that jumped out at me were Porky Pig and Fowlmouth (the tiny toon version of Foghorn Leghorn)

Try StepMania (http://www.stepmania.com/) if you go the homebrew route. Some arcade games are based on this.

Bad Apple, amazingly, is used as a tech demo a lot. The shadow techniques that they use in it have been used as a tech demo on the 8088 demo here (which is pretty damn cool), as well as on the Sega Genesis and other consoles. It's a fantastic way to strain the hardware in all various, unique ways. Here - another video of Bad Apple, this time on an arcade machine that was released in 2011 (I think). It's a variation of Beatmania that seems to incorporate concepts of DJ Hero. Pretty cool to watch:

As for StepMania, it's an option, but I'd rather just go the PS2 route. I don't have PC pads.

There was another series/special about abandoned cities/towns also. I think i mentioned it previously.
Pretty sure multiple series/eps on Netflix about disasters of all types. Natural, man made, air, land, sea ;) Sometimes they "suggestions" you get after watching a show can yield good results :D


The Returned - They made a movie about Zombrex from DeadRising. Not really though... Was actually pretty good. Early on i thought i knew exactly how it was going to end. I wasn't too far off base but just enough that i was still able to be surprised.

Also watched a couple more eps of Inside Combat Rescue.

Epic Movie - (2007) - C-
--> Stupid, but some laughs.

De Gelukkige Huisvrouw - (2010) - A
--> Great movie about a woman who has a baby and gets a post-natal depression.

Intouchables - (2011) - B+
--> Feelgoodmovie about a rich guy in a wheelchair and his unusual aide.

The Rebound - (2009) - C+
--> An bad script and fairly odd acting. There are much better romcoms than this.

Invincible - (2006) - C
--> Local guy becomes football hero. Too many clichés to be enjoyable.

What Katy Did - (1999) - B-
--> Always have a bit of a soft spot for period films. I missed too much of the beginning of this one (more like the first 45 minutes) to say much about it.

Adam's Rib - (1949) - B
--> Another movie starring Hepburn. Always enjoy watching one of these golden age movies. Some of the scenes in it would be simply unimaginable today. Not so much because of the content, but the sheer length of the dialogue would drive today's audiences to their smartphones en masse.

The Godfather Part 3 - (1990) - B+ / A-
--> Great movie. I don't see the big deal about Sofia Copola's casting. I think it's mostly a case of diehard "fans" being annoyed by anything and everything. Just as you get with whenever something new Star Wars comes out, there's always people who think it's the worst thing ever.

Star Trek - (2009) - B+
--> Awesome movie. Never cared much for Star Trek but really enjoyed this movie. Obviously it was made for me. Just as with Godfather 3 ^ I'm sure there's a whole horde of Star Trek fans who hate this movie. But I liked it a lot.

Saturday Night Fever - (1977) - C
--> I guess this is a classic, but I didn't find it interesting in the slightest. The story is slow, there's hardly a story at all. John Travolta and his friends are mostly stupid characters. The girl is a bit of a whiny tart. The dancing is cool, I guess?

Grease - (1978) - B
--> Way better than Saturday Night Fever. The characters are funnier/sillier. The songs are fun, the dancing is just as good. One thing that annoys me is that all the "teenagers" look like they're 25-30 years old. When I went to highschool, the kids sure didn't look like that. Also hilarious is how Sandy is made WAY uglier at the end of the movie in the skimpy clothes are ugly hairdo.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - (2012) - A
--> Because I already knew the critiques/weakness of this movie (super drawn out story, much appendices stuff added that has little to do with the actual book, blatant fanservice, etc...), I watched it accordingly. Holy shit I had a blast, lol! Sure, if you were expecting a faithful translation of the book, I can see why you'd be dissapointed. But already knowing what this movie is and isn't, I enjoyed it more than any movie I've seen since The Kite Runner. My only critique would be that the hobbit hole scene lasts just a bit too long (ok, way too long) but after they've set off, it's awesome all the way. Can't wait to pick up the second and third part when they drop down in price as well.

EDIT; Pretty sure my Hobbit DVD wasn't the 48fps that this movie originally used but regular 24fps. I do have a mock-up of the trailer in 48fps on my computer and thought that the clarity was great. The people who claim it ruined the movie are the same people who thought sound or color ruined movies as well.

Gallowwalkers - I really tried to give it a fair chance. But it was just stupid. Cool premise. But just bad movie.

From Dusk Til Dawn - Great movie :D

The King's Speech - I was expecting this to be a boring dry movie. Was really good.

Currently nightly viewing is Inside The Nazi Hunters. I have been going to bed really late (so falling asleep really quickly) and eps are pretty long so these are have been taking ages to finish.

Gallowwalkers - I really tried to give it a fair chance. But it was just stupid. Cool premise. But just bad movie.

From Dusk Til Dawn - Great movie :D

The King's Speech - I was expecting this to be a boring dry movie. Was really good.

i really enjoyed The King's Speech too, if you liked that give The Queen a try for more british politics/royalty.

Now, THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! Gonna dig that series up on YouTube later.

Speaking of happy-go-lucky documentary series: I went over to my best bud's place the other day, and watched a run of Fear Thy Neighbor he had in his DVR queue. Now I'm so hooked, I'm actually gonna pay to watch them on YouTube...

Speaking of YouTube: just when I thought I'd viewed all of the Air Crash Investigation / Mayday episodes, I discovered one I'd never seen before:

Secrets of the Dead: Bugging Hitler's Soldiers

NOVA: At the Edge of Space

NATURE: What Plants Talk About - SUPER INTERESTING. I've seen this before. It details how plants "talk" to eachother, bugs, animals, and for Zags benefit it also details their biological warfare against other plants and bugs.

Among other things yes. That is one of the things i think is rubbish though. I think cut grass smell is just the smell of cut grass.
That would be like lopping off part of someones body and saying the smell was them crying for help (IMO)

Out of Africa - (1985) - A
--> Terrific movie. A bit slow for some, perhaps, but great otherwise.

L.A. Confidential - (1997) - A-
--> I really liked the atmosphere of this movie.

The Nun's Story - (1959) - B
--> A bit of an odd movie starring Audrey Hepburn. Not bad, just a bit random in my opinion.

Coming to America - (1988) - C-
--> A stupid comedy, though some scenes are funny (the bath scene at the beginning).

Dungeon & Dragons experience - (?) - B
--> Interesting documentary about Dungeon & Dragons and its players. It's on YouTube; the documentary itself made around 1995 I guess.

Super 8 - (2011) - B+
--> Neat movie. It has that older thriller vibe to it. It reminded me greatly of the animation movie The Iron Giant.

La folie des grandeurs - (1971) - B
--> Slapstick comedy with French cinema legend Louis de Funès.

The Mosquito Coast - (1986) - B+
--> Interesting drama about an excentric father and his family.

Saving Private Ryan - (1998) - A
--> A classic and some of the best depictions of WWII fights.

City Lights - (1931) - B
--> One of the last silent films ever made. The story is simple and sweet. I'm surprised how highly rated this film is. Some of the scenes, especially the boxing scene, are funny.

The Three Musketeers - (1973) - F
--> Stupid movie with hardly any plot to speak of. At best a slapstick comedy with an annoying protagonist. Also, the audio for vocals are surprisingly bad. I've seen 1930ies movies with better audio quality.

Alice in Wonderland - (1951) - A-
--> Disney classic. Altogether fun, with lots of nonsensical songs. Dissapointing (for me) is how poor the audio quality is for the Dutch dub of Disney movies of this era. It's so bad I can hardly understand what is being said. I never watch dubs but animated movies are an exception. The original English audio is much clearer, it's like night and day. They should just re-do the dub, though I guess the consider the audio "good enough" and doing a new dub too expensive.

War of the Roses - (1989) - C
--> Average movie about a couple going through a divorce. They fight and things get out of hand.

Swing Time - (1936) - B+
--> Classic era Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers dancing movie. Everyone should watch atleast one of these.

Jane Eyre - (2011) - B-
--> I find Mia Wasikowska's performance too frigid for my taste. How "historically correct" it is is debatable. But I can see past that flaw. What really annoys me however is how everything is rushed due to this being only 120 minutes. An extra hour would've been very welcome. Too many of the important conversations between Jane & Rochester are cut short or deleted altogether. Compare and contrast with the 2006 BBC mini series starring Ruth Wilson.

Everything or Nothing - (2012) - B+
--> Interesting documentary about the James Bond film franchise. Lots of things I didn't know. Especially interesting how there was the feude between the different claimants of the rights and how long that dragged on.

Emma - (1996) - B
--> An adaptation of Emma starring Kate Beckinsale. Not a bad version, I think. Slightly more subdued than the Gwyneth Paltrow version, with the age difference between Emma & Knightley more pronounced. Compared with the 2009 mini series starring Romola Garai, this one definitely stays more true to the book. Romola Garai overacts the character too much, and makes too many exaggerated facial expressions to suspend disbelief as the viewer. It's almost a parody of Emma. Not so here, with Beckinsale still showing the restraint expected in a young woman at the start of the 19th century. The fact that it's a movie does make for the same compromises as with the Jane Eyre movie, but it didn't bother me as much here.

The Answer Man - (2009) - C+
--> Very odd movie about a succesful author of a book who wishes to remain anonymous. He meets some people and discovers that ultimate solitude isn't all that. Then the movie ends without there being much of an ending or story to speak of.

Dante's Peak - (1997) - C-
--> Stupid disaster movie starring Pierce Brosnan as volcanologist. It's filled with clichés both in dialogue and plot "twists" (that you can see coming 10 minutes before they happen).

Monsters vs. Aliens - (2009) - B
--> Agreeable animated movie. Not as good as most Pixar productions but good enough. Better than some other, more sterile, DreamWorks movies I've seen.

City of Angels - (1998) - C+
--> Average romantic drama starring Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan. The film is a bit slow despite its simple premise and doesn't quite have enough to really engage the audience.

Another list of movies I've seen in the last 2 weeks or so.

Dead Poets Society - (1989) - B+
--> Great movie, though I question the likelyhood of Williams personage to exist at a boarding school in the 1950ies.

V for Vendetta - (2006) - B+
--> Interesting movie, leaves something to think about. It is quite stylized. Hugo Weaving steals the show.

Rat Race - (2001) - C
--> Typical mindless comedy, not much to say. Lots of big name actors in this movie, though. Has enough gaffes and jokes to keep you entertained.

Rabbit Hole - (2010) - B+
--> Succesful portrayal of a couple dealing with the recent death of their young child.

Good Will Hunting - (1997) - A
--> I had not yet seen this movie, yet I thought I did. The main premise of this movie is perhaps a bit far-fetched, but everything is kept believable.

Tulpan - (2008) - A-
--> Seeing the desolate Kazakhstan steppe is reason enough to watch this movie. It's amazing to think how people live in that environment, and how they do so. The story itself is secondary to the environment and ends relatively abruptly. I recommend this movie to anyone wishing to see something different.

Shanghai Knights - (2003) - B
--> Second viewing, always fun to watch.

True Grit - (2010) - A+
--> All movies should be this good.

Yours, Mine and Ours - (2005) - C-
--> Weak romcom movie with a predictable plot. Ok if you have nothing better to do but otherwise skip this one.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets - (2007) - B
--> I enjoyed it. Some of the plot twists are hard to believe, but that's half the fun in a movie like this.

The Invention of Lying - (2009) - C
--> They should have taken this otherwise original concept a lot further.

I had 10 episodes in my DVR I had to catch up on after finishing the Ghost in the Shell I had saved. I started watching that night around 9 p.m., I watched all of them by the time I went to bed. The series is one of my favorites so far.

Sword Art Online is also very awesome and is video game related in the best ways possible storywise.

Been quite a while since my last post...

Making Stuff 2 - another mini series from NOVA

Nova: Meteor Strike

Inside The Nazi Hunters - still haven't finished first season

Superheroes: A Never-Ending Battle - miniseries. Was really good. Touched on a lot of different bits of comic history.

American Experience: Henry Ford - It is always cool when something can make you admire someone while also make you think s/he is a complete asshole.

American Experience: Silicon Valley

Particle Fever - hooray they made the Higgs Boson by slamming things into each other in a giant circle.

Easter Island: Mysteries of a Lost World

NOVA: Ground Zero Supertower - Making the memorial/museum/replacement tower.

NOVA: Asteroid: Doomsday or Payday? - LETS HARVEST ASTEROIDS! We can just slowly drag them into orbit around the earth. What could possibly go wrong?

Nova: Ultimate Mars Challenge - How they tested and eventually landed the super huge mars rover safely.

Nova: Megastorm Aftermath - About Superstorm Sandy.

Mystery Files: Hitler - Smithsonian Channel program that details what they think happened in WW1 to make Hitler a badman in WW2

Nova: Decoding Neanderthals - Everyone is part neanderthal. Some more than others(Mostly northern/western European descent.)

Secrets of the Dead: Caveman Cold Case - Neanderthal was killed in Spain 49,000 years ago. They made a special about it. With any luck in 49,000 years someone will dig you up and make a show about you.

Tesla: Master of Lightning

National Geographic: The Human Family Tree

Nazi Mega Weapons - miniseries(?) I think it was 6 eps. There was some pretty awesome stuff i hadn't heard of before. Like the super bunker in Berlin, and the super gun/artillery(think French Super Weapon in C&C), and the tank that was essentially the size of a Brownstone

Nova: Rise of the Drones - Yay technology moving faster than outdated laws can keep up with!

The Avengers - "Loki is my brother." He killed a bunch of people.... "Half brother" I love Marvel movies. On the whole i think "Puny god" was my favorite comedic line and "My secret is I'm always angry" was my favorite serious line.

Hellboy - How can you not like Ron Perlman? Saw this when it came out. Never saw the sequel. Don't think it is on Netflix either.

Small Soldiers - Such a goofy movie. Almost was going to suggest watching it with my son. Glad i didn't it was more "grown up" than i remembered it being.

Weird or What? - Pretty sure i watched season 1 awhile back. Season 2 and 3 are hosted by Shatner. It is decent. The formula for every episode seems to be: Strange event, crazy explanation person, person who doesn't agree with crazy explanation: uses logic, person who doesn't agree with crazy explanation: offers even crazier explanation.

Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey - The new one with deGrasse. If memory serves i tried to watch the one Sagan did and just couldn't get into it. My son has actually seen more of these than i have but we've been rewatching them together.

Dark Secrets - BS scenarios and conspiracy theories. The best part is it is full of interviews with people who were there. And yet those people are generally 20+ years younger than they could be given the time lines. Towards the end of the series they started getting more age appropriate people at least.

Dark Space - Spring Break in the future. + crash landing on an "uninhabited" planet + military death squads = ??? Don't let the super low star rating fool you. It is a decent flick.

The Machine - don't let the super high star rating fool you. Britain is never going to acquire a super human-esque AI first in a futuristic Cold War scenario.

We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks - meh

Evacuate Earth - How humanity might escape earth if we discovered we only had 75 years before a free roaming star decided to smash into our solar system. Even though it tries to be super sciencey it still requires a massive amount of suspension of disbelief. Like the 75 year counter that is both the deadline for the star killing everything. But so long as the space "ship" is ready by then everything will be cool.

Did God Create The Universe? - Fell asleep watching this again. Hawking "talking" about god and science.

Red vs. Blue - About 2/3 of the way through season 5 now. Hilarious.

I am not sure what to think. Certainly more over the top than the first, and still nowhere near the severity of the comics, and yet, there were parts that I felt had no place on film. I guess it really is true that not every comic book or novel will translate on film. ha ha

Post by: Izret101 on September 15, 2014, 09:31:07 PM
Surviving Progress - Documentary about how humanity is destroying everything through the constant forward march of what we consider progress. Mostly gross excess. Unfortunately even if everyone rationed due to the ever increasing population we are doomed anyways. Too many people not enough replenishable resources.

Goodbye World - The grid goes down across the US (doesn't specify if world wide)and this movie follows a small group of pretty diverse "friends" in Cali surviving in the days/weeks after.

13 Sins - Sadistic "game" comprised of 13 challenges. Run by the hidden ultra elite of society. Game apparently always starts the same and ends 1 of 2 ways.

The Ghost Army - Documentary about a WW2 division who used loud speakers and rubber inflatable tanks/halftracks/planes to trick nazis into believing the number of troops were far greater or location of troops were far different from what they actually were. They were highly successful too!

Hawking - Biography of Stephen Hawking. Super interesting. I think my favorite bits were about all his pop culture cameos tho...

The Devil's Bible - "Documentary" "investigating" the Codex Gigas. Some sleuthing was done but much of it just seemed like quick work and sweeping generalizations due to limited research time frame.

Human Lampshade: A Holocaust Mystery - This was one i surprisingly had not heard of before. Overall not that interesting. Save you 60-90 minutes. Many of the parts match WW2 era(more or less) production from germany. But the lamp was made from cowhide. The jew who owned it seemed very disappointed. He ruined the show. Seemed like he was going out of his way to play to the camera and get sensational results.

Forgiving Dr. Mengele - Old Jewish twin talking about how she freed herself of the feeling of being a victim by forgiving those involved in the torture and killing of jews. Ironically when visiting Israel she seemed to view of all arabs/mulsims with the same attitude i would expect germans had towards jews in the 30s

Secrets of Scotland Yard - Started illegally originally the cops could not investigate any potential wrong doings and could only attempt to stop crime as it was happening. After an attempted assassination of the queen they were able to pass legislation to make detective work legal. Lots of other stuff was covered too. Pretty interesting stuff on the whole. The much more modern jewel heist they mentioned was most interesting though.

Death by China - All the ways China is destroying the global market (this focused only on US though) and economy of the US and how "american" companies have helped that. Primarily by moving all their jobs over seas. They rattled off a huge list of items that the US doesn't make any more and can only get via import from China. All things considered it was mostly about how consumers always want the cheapest they can get not realizing it has eliminated massive job sectors in the US which have in turn started wrecking havoc on other sectors, and how corporations want to maximize their profits at all costs.

Drugs Inc - Season 2 and 3. I think this is/was a Nat Geo series. Each episode they show things from the views of various people involved in some way with that drug. Cops/paramedics, dealers, users, parents/families. Some of it is pretty crazy.

Bottled Life - Nestle is a bad bad company. Anyone who buys water is a sucker anyways. Poland Springs water for example. I believe this said Nestle is able to take ~20$s(or less) worth of water from Maine and rebottle it for ~60k$ MSRP.

The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden - Documentary. A husband and wife tried to escape the civilized world. I wasn't paying full attention but i believe they first left for the Galapagos in the 20s/30s. Unfortunately for them it didn't work. Long story short a few people end up following them. People hate eachother. Murder happens.

Mission Blue - Another documentary. This one is a netflix original. Some famous ocean science lady going on about how we are destroying the oceans and their ecosystems. In turn destroying the rest of the world. They included an interview she did with Colbert which of course was priceless.

13 Sins - Sadistic "game" comprised of 13 challenges. Run by the hidden ultra elite of society. Game apparently always starts the same and ends 1 of 2 ways.

This one was surprisingly well made to me and the scenarios were very interesting. However I always find these kinds of movies to be kind of unbelievable from the aspect of "how far will the normal guy go?" It was cool though.

I watched a movie on Netflix called Alyce Kills yesterday. Supposed to be kind of a gory horror version of Alice in Wonderland with some social commentary on modern life but it is weak on both the commentary and the connections to AIW. However the lead actress did a great job portraying a good old fashioned descent into madness that left both my wife and I happy we watched it.

Ice Age: Continental Drift - (2012) - B
--> Decent animation movie. The pirates were fun, the rest of the cast is getting a bit boring.

GoldenEye - (1995) - B+
--> GoldenEye! Pierce Brosnan is the James Bond of my childhood and consequently feels like "The" James Bond to me.

Tomorrow Never Dies - (1997) - B
--> A bit sillier in parts than GoldenEye.

The World Is Not Enough - (1999) - B
--> About as good as Tommorow Never Dies. Probably even more unrealistic and goofy than Tomorrow Never Dies, but at this point I suspect them of going for just that. Especially the hot, young nuclear physicist has me rolling eyes every time.

The Three Investigators and the Secret of Terror Castle - (2009) - C-
--> Not only far too long a title for any serious movie, but this is mostly bad. I guess the environments and the castle, which isn't a castle but instead a country house, are nice. Most of the actors can't act, especally Jupiter.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World - (2010) - B
--> So cool and hip it kind of becomes stupid. I don't really like Scott's voice that makes him sound like a 9-year old.

Die Another Day - (2002) - C
--> This is rediculousness taken to a whole new level. It's unsurprising that Brosnan didn't do more Bonds after this. There's a point of stupid you can't come back from.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? - (2000) - A
--> He's bona fide! Cracks me up every time.

Snow White and the Huntsman - (2012) - B+
--> Thought it was quite good but felt like it missed something that could've made it great. Not sure what though. Maybe it just needed more screen time.

Returning Lily - (2003) - B-
--> Decent acting for a movie that is probably a TV movie. The Hawaiian environments are nice.

Casino Royale - (2006) - A
--> Such a huge change of pace from the later goofy Brosnan pictures. Probably the best Bond film ever, in my opinion.

Lots of Bond for you lately. I agree with you about the Casino Royale. I was never a fan of the Brosnan films, and never seen any of the earlier Bonds with Connery or Moore, but Royale did feel different to me too.

Glad i'm not the only one who ventures off the beaten path with Netflix.
I had a feeling early on there would be a second contestant. I was more certain about who one of the previous contestants was though.



Madness in the White City - All about H. H. Holmes. Americas "first" serial killer

Secrets of the Tower of London - Self explanatory more or less. The tradition of it is somewhat interesting and amusing. If i was a Brit it would probably be neither.

Secrets of the Dead: The Lost Diary of Dr. Livingstone - Needless to say when they get his personal diary discernible  it is significantly different from the doctored up articles meant for publication during his lifetime.

Mystery Files: Marco Polo - Spoiler alert. He didn't really exist.

Secrets of the Dead: World's Biggest Bomb - It amazes me sometimes the lengths we go through to destroy ourselves. They scientist in charge actually went against orders and made the bomb smaller than he could have because a blast any larger would have just wasted energy blasting out of the atmosphere and into space.

Dead in Tombstone - Trejo makes a deal with the devil to get his soul back. And get revenge. Trejo is a bad guy with a "good" heart.

Bunraku - Not really sure how to explain it. Excellent movie. Some big names in it too. My personal favorite in the bunch is Ron Perlman(how i found the movie) but Woody Harrelson is good too.

Truth or Die - If you go in expecting a bad horror movie you might get a bit of a surprise. Legitimately surprising twist at the end. But things don't exactly make sense. I guess it doesn't need to when it involves college(?) kids.

H.H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer - Not as good as the other one.

How Sherlock Changed the World - 2 part series Some pretty interesting stuff. Haven't finished yet

20 Feet Below - Trejo again. Takes place in the sewers. Trejo is the bad guy for real this time.


EDIT
Oh yeah when i got around to finishing season 3 of Drugs Inc i was amused by the dealers from the UK.

Anywhere else in the world they will talk about how its kill or be killed and they sport glocks and aks and m16s and etc
UK the guy says "I can get swords, taser, pepper spray, a gun." So apparently if you want to rob a drug dealer do it in the UK because they are least likely to have a gun.
One guy had something like £50k worth of pot growing in his attic and said "If anyone tries to get in here i've got this" and reaches for a fucking sheathed decorative knock off samurai sword he probably bought at a fair.

Started watching The Blacklist since that is on Netflix too.

Really good.

EDIT
Oh yea watched
Secrets of the Dead: Death on the Railroad - Pennsylvania Railroad covered up the deaths/murders of a TON of Irish immigrant workers. People go out, find them, dig them up, give them proper burial. Was pretty interesting.

Secrets of the Dead: Bones of the Buddha - Guy found 1/8th of Buddhas ashes/bones. Was less interesting as the facts seemed much more tainted by personal opinion which means it could have been utter crap. Kinda like the guy in the Holocaust lamp special.

After several years of complete apathy over whatever's big on TV nowadays, I decided to catch the first couple episodes of The Walking Dead, and... well, I don't think I have the constitution to endure the gruesome blood-&-guts beyond the pair of shows I saw. Yeah, sorry, not very big on that.

But even worse were the main survivors; I found most of them so douchy and unlikable that I started rooting for the undead hordes to finish them off. If this is the best of what's left of humanity, then we're all better off as zombies.

A little later I doubled back to my comfort zone: air disaster documentaries. Since I'm in the middle of reading his book, I thought I'd watch the TLC special on "Sully's" Hudson landing:

@Zag all i can see is "CAKE BOSS ALL NEW"

Don't even know what that is. Just judging from the title, I'm guessing some cooking-based so-called "reality" show brimful of contrived bullsh*t to make the show far more "dramatic" than real-life cake-bossery... whatever the hell that is.

Hold on... BRB

...

All right, just caught the first fifteen seconds of an episode-- which was all I could stand-- and I'm already praying for a slow and painful death upon every person I saw in that brief window of time. Rather than diminish, my disdain for humanity intensified.

Quote
ALSO!
Agents of SHIELD is back!!!!!!!!!!!

I've heard of that one at least. Judging from the radio spots I've listened to, it's no wonder Nick Fury's a raging alcoholic. (At least, he was in that Marvel MAX comic I read a few years back.) Those folks would drive me to drink, too.

Ah, will you look at me, busting on the latest Tee-Vee shows without taking a more in-depth look at them. Sorry 'bout that, really I am. Hey, if you dig those shows, go ahead and watch them to your heart's content. Whatever makes you happy makes me happy, and all that. I'm just not, shall we say, tuned into today's boob-tube scene. My loss.

I'm pretty sure it's not quite as valid as the assessment of someone who's managed to endure an entire episode... if such a person even exists. If so, then he/she is a god/goddess among men/women.

If it's your jam, then have at it, bud.

Fortunately, you have the saving grace of watching and summarizing tons of documentary shows that I might be interested in. Some of them I probably wouldn't have known existed if you hadn't discussed them in this very forum. So it's not like there's nothing interesting out there to watch. Some times a little extra digging needs to be done.

Speaking of documentaries: I just finished up watching a profile of the old Confederacy's all-time favorite military figure. As may have already guessed, I'm talking about...

...General William Tecumseh Sherman.

Pass

Tried out:

State of Emergency - Zombie-esque movie. Nothing spectacular. If it had been a real zombie movie i would have been more let down.

I Know That Voice - documentary about voice actors. It is really good. I started cracking up when they got to a section about video game voice acting and Nolan North started saying "'Go, Go, Go!' Alot of people might know that one, and uh 'Frag out!' 'Get down!' 'Grenade!' Yea that's me. You just can't teach that."

EDIT

That Guy... Who Was in That Thing - documentary with (mostly) small(ish) time actors. Talking about what it is like trying to get work in Hollywood when you are not one of the very few guys/gals at the top of the charts. Interesting look into the industry. Not as good as I Know That Voice though. Two totally different tones. This was not a fun filled ride but focused a lot more on the hardships and personal/professional difficulties.

In the middle of
Crave - Guy is losing his mind. I guess he is becoming a vigilante but i haven't gotten that far in yet. There is quite a bit of bounce back and forth from the reality in his mind to what the real reality is so i actually have no clue how this will play out. Which is nice. Another random flick that got stuck in my queue because Ron Perlman.

Getting late though so i'll probably pause and swap back to
Wildest Islands: Season 1 There are some other "Wildest" things i have lined up too Arctic, IndoChina, Latin America. I'm assuming all of them are going to continue to focus on the unique plant and animal species of those regions.

Stalled - Horror/comedy movie. Zombies + janitor trapped in a bathroom at a company Xmas eve party. Grabbers was a better horror/comedy. Also from UK. does not involve zombies or being stuck in a bathroom stall.

Cybergeddon - this was SOOOO close to being a good movie. But it didn't have enough to push it past average. FBI agents + super hackers +
Spoiler (hover to show)
EDIT Hmmm i haven't seen it in AGES but i suppose it could ALMOST be a more grown up/modern version of Hackers /EDIT

The Colony - Takes place on Earth during an apparent world wide ice age of unknown length of time.
Spoiler (hover to show)
Laurence Fishburne and Bill Paxton are important characters if you are a fan of either or both.

Crawlspace - "When a super-secret underground military facility in Australia is attacked, the government sends in an elite squadron to rescue the workers." - Netflix description. At one point an Australian says "I think i get to be a little jumpy! We are inside Australias Area 51!" Bonus points for an original location and premise. Lost points for having to still rely on other countries world events to justify the movies existence. If they had delved deeper into the history(http://korean-war.commemoration.gov.au/cold-war-crisis-in-korea/australias-involvement-in-korean-war.php) instead of generic "Cold War" USA vs Russia it would have been better. Worth a watch still though.

Storage 24 - another one out of the UK. A small group of people end up stuck inside a storage facility. Other than that the netflix description is entirely wrong. There was some predictability but it was pretty good. I guess it could fall into the "campy horror" genre. The first few minutes were off putting. Just stick with it.


Into Season 2 of Wildest Islands. Starting Amazon River Islands. I didn't think any of those would be isolated enough to have a really unique creatures compared to the mainland SA. Hopefully i get a surprise. I wasn't so lucky with the Hebrides. That seemed to be more of a local history lesson about cows swimming from island to island and people eating sea birds for several hundred years. Still was fairly interesting though.

EDIT 2
Forgot this one:

Rampage: Capital Punishment  - Sequel to Rampage. More or less follows in the footsteps of the original. Which i suggest watching first as it was better and sets you up for this one. Ignore the fact that they are done by Uwe Boll. They are both good.

Post by: Boshamp on October 07, 2014, 02:13:41 AM
I don't watch enough movies, so I sort of picked a few at random that I wouldn't normally watch.

Ride Along: Aside from the all-too-obvious cliche black comedy bits, the end of the story really picked up and turned more action movie than comedy, which I enjoyed.

Gunfight at the O.K. Corral: I might watch a lot more westerns if they are all built in similar fashion.

Carrie: This movie was good, but it put something I live by in question..."The longer, the better". Songs that are longer than 7 minutes, Movies that last longer than 2 hours, Games longer than 80 hours...you get the picture...but this movie really knew how to drag on...and it really made me lose interest right before they dumped that bucket...filler isn't good, and this movie seemed to invent it.

and finally...Arika: holy shit dudes...I mean...wow. I needed this in my life and I cannot believe I hadn't found it before now.

It isn't on Netflix. But dude, if you have even the most fleeting interest in animation or more specifically anime, you ought to see this movie. It's just widely accepted as far and away the best anime movie of all time. For me, I don't collect movies, but I own a handful of blu-rays of my all time favorites, and Akira is one of them. It captures the feel of a dystopian future from a 1980s perspective in a way that only Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns has also done.

Last year, Adult Swim ran anime movies during the month of December, one each week, I recorded them all, but just recently got around to taking the time to watch Akira. The other three were Summer Wars, FMA the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa, and Trigun: Badlands Rumble. I watched Trigun with my little bro the night it aired, Summer wars a few months ago, (Mega, mega awesome as well, by the way), and FMA is still on the DVR waiting for me.

They will do four more this December, although I haven't found out what they will air this year yet.

Docs/series
Wildest Islands
Wildest Arctic
Wildest Latin America
Nature: Honey Badgers - Was really cool. They aren't just bad asses but REALLY crafty.
Nature: Meet the Coy-wolf - Crazy how far spread they are. Especially surprising that they thrive in urbanized areas.
Locked Up Abroad
Orange is the New Black - HIGHLY recommended but definitely NOT for everyone. If you are meek or easily offended this isn't for you.

Movies
Team America: World Police - Has NOT held up well. I probably would have been more amused when it came out. But i would like to think only slightly more so.
Doomsday Book - Korean mini movie collection(dubbed). One was about a zombie outbreak. One was about a robot that attains enlightenment. I can't really say what the last one was about without spoilering it to no end.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - Loved it. Can't wait for the rest of the series to get released and hopefully end up on Netflix

Also tried to watch Bad Grandpa. I think i made it about 20 minutes in. Just wasn't my thing.

Equilibrium - People are killed for showing emotion. Maybe this could have been good. But i have trouble seeing how... Maybe they forgot what constitutes emotion when they came up with the idea?

Branded - What if brands weren't just corporations but living creatures that fed off people? I liked it.

Odd Thomas - Despite owning all the books i never read them. Movie was done really well. Not sure how it compares to the books but i am hoping the rest of them get put into film format.

Hell - Subbed foreign film. I think it was german... can't remember off hand now. Sun went crazy. Emits crazy high heat and people can't go out during the day. Society has broken down as a result of course. Small bands of survivors scavenge for survival.

Crime Secrets of.... - I guess this was/is a British TV series. Was interesting. Pretty insane how lax the laws are in England/Britain/UK/British Islands/Isles/etc. They are/were even lighter in Spain though. Pickpocketing under 400 euros is only a fine and you can only be fined for actually taking something. If you attempt and get nothing no big deal. Try again. Maybe i should move and become a thief. Was very amusing to see "the regulars" and the police playfully banter back and forth. The fact that nothing was edited was also nice.

I remember liking this, but it was mainly for the visual style of the movie.  To be frank I thought the movie was a poor modern retelling of 1985 with too much of a Heilein flair.

I too watched Odd Thomas over the weekend.  Entertaining, but I have a feeling if I would have been a fan of the books I would have hated the movie, much in the way I feel about John Dies at the End.  Oh, well.  Hopefully I can find something on Netflix tonight.

John Dies at the End was a decent flick.
My big problem with Equilibrium was that displays of emotion were punishable by death. But everyone is walking around showing various apparently acceptable forms of emotion. I love me some dystopian futures but i just couldn't get into this one.


I marathoned Peaky Blinders on Netflix today. Another excellent Netflix Original. I know House of Cards is supposed to be amazing buthave heard worse things about Hemlock Grove. On the whole though i think the Netflix originals have been top notch. Fingers crossed it stays that way.


I'm starting to run out of educational style programming to fall asleep to... I wish Netflix had a better suggestions feature. I hate that it suggests things i have already watched for example. I wish i could hide those would get put somewhere else.

Wildest India - Think this was the last of the Wildest series. Apparently the Ganges River has higher levels of oxygen and antibacterials not found elsehwere... in addition to the usual polution that is found everywhere.

Your Inner Fish - Only one episode was really about fish. The 2nd and 3rd where about reptiles and primates primarily. Mostly interesting.

Video Game High School - Seasons 1 and 2. I thought this was great. VGHS: The Movie is apparently all of season 1 just lumped into one viewing.

Nova: Why Ships Sink - Specifically about cruise ships. They are designed to make money and not to be safe.

Hammer of the Gods - Meh. The longer it went the worse it got.

Valhalla Rising - Meh IFC flick.

The Real Story: Indiana Jones - fell asleep halfway through. Indy is supposedly just based on older movie characters. I fell asleep just as they were comparing people from that era to see what facets of the character might have been based on real people.

House of Cards - Season 1 and 2. I'm not anticipating a season 3. Though i would certainly like to see one as i would like to see how events might further play out. Excellent show. I had previously mentioned REALLY enjoying Boss with Kelsey Grammar. This is in the same vein. Less language sex and violence though. Less full screen eyeball shots too though which was a plus.

Peaky Blinders - Season 2 was pleasantly surprised when i saw this listed as already being available since i recently finished season 1. Unfortunately it was just another 6 episode season.

When Aliens Attack - going t finish this up. It is a "how would the world respond to alien annihilation" theory. It is somewhat interesting mostly stupid. "We would want to drop the nuke on top of the ship in an attempt to shield the city from the direct force of the blast." I did like that after launching a nuke an "expert" explained why that would be useless. This was of course after they showed the alien ship taking no damage from the blast but a major city that the ship was destroying obviously was not so lucky. Then they got really silly and thought guerrilla tactics would work since aliens would probably be sucking up trees and animals that we could strap C4 to.

Quantum of Solace - (2008) - B-
--> Definite step down from Casino Royale. More action, less tension. I wonder if the makers of QoS realized what made Casino Royale so good. Some of the "shaky cam" style scenes are terrible.

Troy - (2004) - A
--> In the afterwake of the Lord of the Rings trilogy success, a lot of other epic-size movies were made. This one is one of my favorites, despite average reviews.

Skyfall - (2012) - B
--> Still worse than Casino Royale. I found the ending scenes too banal and un-James Bond.

La Beauté du diable - (1950) - C
--> Boring old French movie about alchemist Henri Faust who wishes to be young again. I enjoy golden age Hollywood movies of the same period, whereas this feels whiny and tiring.

Mission: Impossible III - (2006) - C+
--> Not as good as Ghost Protocol, though it has its better scenes.

The Amazing Spider-Man - (2012) - B-
--> The movie itself is ok, just can't understand why we needed it. The Toby Maguire trilogy was so recent, this feels like it's redoing the same thing with too little time in between. Maybe it's for the whole "Marvel extended universe" thing, where the same actors act their characters across different movies, don't know.

Brasserie Romantiek - (2012) - B+
--> Dutch comedy about different people having dinner at the same restaurant, and their lives.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - (2013) - A
--> Despite the obvious fan service and extending the original story of The Hobbit immensely, I can't not like it.

Mansfield Park - (2007 - B-
--> Ok, but could've been better. I kept seeing Blake Ritson as Mr. Elton instead of Edmund, which made his scenes more funny than they should.

Men in Black 3 - (2012) - B
--> Cheezy but fun. I liked how they went back in time, thought it never got as involved as in Back to the Future.

Watchmen - (2009) - B
--> I'm not familiar with the comic book, so this was all new to me.

Alexandria - documentary about the history of the city. Could have been better. Mostly seemed to focus on a few individuals from the time period and less on the city itself.

Ironclad: Battle for Blood - Ironclad was better. This one they were fighting the Scots the other one they were fighting the the King of England

Family Guy - Starting from the first season and running through to whatever season Netflix has.

Secrets of the Dead: China's Terracotta Warriors - Lined up for my fall asleep to viewing.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Izret101 on November 21, 2014, 05:20:33 PM
Secrets of the Dead:  Chinas Terracotta Warriors - Ended up being way better than i expected it would have been. It not only was about the history of the pieces and restoration of them but at the end touched on SCIENCE! For interesting crazy quantum science type stuff relating to this 2k+ year old pigment check out http://www.magnet.fsu.edu/mediacenter/news/pressreleases/2006may31.html

Secrets of the Dead: Churchill's Deadly Decision - Didn't know he ordered the navy to blow up the French navy!(2nd largest navy at that time and Nazis were taking over France which would then give them the ships in addition to the ones they had already created/commandeered ) I have no clue how i had never heard about this before... Seemed like if French chain of command took a good offer when it was given they wouldn't have been attacked by the Brits at the start and then wouldn't have had to scuttle their own ships to keep them out of Nazi hands later. Complete waste of time and resources. Good job almost losing the world to Nazis WW2 era French leaders.  ANYWAYS! This was also awesome. Included interviews of some survivors.

Zero Hour - Since it has unedited vulgarities i assume this is a Euro TV series. All shows show the hour leading up to major catastrophic events. The oldest thing i have seen on it so far was Chernobyl which was actually shot on site in a destroyed reactor. The people even spoke ruskie! The rest were from the 90s and later.

Family Guy - Into season 5 now. Still not sure how many of them are available on netflix...

Caught a couple eppies of the new Sonic Boom series. They were... well, mildly amusing at least. However, I could see a few punch lines coming from a mile away, especially the ones involving the Knuckles-is-a-moron trope. Still not very keen on 'Roidy-Knux, the neck-bandanna, and the shameless adhesive-tape product placement, though. And get Sticks some counseling for Chaos' sakes.

Then I caught the pilot for a YouTube Sonic series that promises to be just as entertaining, if not  more so:

Paprika. I think once a year I get into anime for a while and it's that time again. I loved Perfect Blue so when I saw the Blu-Ray of Paprika for six bucks on Amazon I grabbed it. Good choice. It's a shame that Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfathers (which I haven't seen yet) don't have NA Blu-Rays (that I know of).

Now I have Redline on the way, which I've heard very good things about.

I don't know, I have this weird mental block about anime; I don't want to collect or own DVDs but I'm accumulating a small collection of Anime on Blu-Ray and I don't really have any justification for it. Oh well. I'm only grabbing stuff that's really cheap.

This weeks Agents of Shield leaves me with the same spoiler tag as last weeks The Walking Dead.

Finished
The Cleveland Show
Zero Hour series
Off Limits - 2(?)seasons. Host is the guy who also did the Cities of the Underworld show. Some had the same kind of premise. Others were almost Dirty Jobs like but not humorous.
Rumors of Wars - Meh movie. Dystopian future. Antireligion future was the primary focus.

Watching
American Dad -  Into season 5 or 6 now.
Yellowstone: Battle for Life - 3 part series. Covers Winter, Summer, Autumn

A new season of Family Guy got added so i queued that up for mindless TV time when American Dad is finished.

Today I watched Under the Skin with Mrs. Grayghost. It was a very beautiful movie that seems very simple but also seems like there are many ideas going on under the surface (or, let's say the skin). Definitely a movie where the plot can be described in a sentence or two, but the the analysis of what is going on between the lines can be extensive.

I have a backlog of movies I haven't posted about yet, here goes:

Metro - (1997) - C-
--> Very average movie with Eddie Murphey who plays a hostage negotiator.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - (2013) - A
--> So the movie isn't at all faithful too the book, but at this point I don't care anymore. The spectacle is great, it still "feels" like Middle Earth, and the scene with Smaug is great if only for Bilbo's ad hoc titles for Smaug.

The Little Mermaid - (1989) - A-
--> Not as good as the Lion King, in my opinion. The songs are mostly fun but the movie doesn't have as much impact.

Het Varken Van Madonna - (2012) - C
--> Stupid Flemisch comedy.

Chicken Run - (2000) - A
--> Classic!

Iedereen Beroemd! - (2000) - C+
--> Could've been better but overall not horrible.

The Holiday - (2006) - B-
--> Turn mind off. Watch chick flick. Have a drink.

Persuasion - (2007) - B+
--> Not a bad rendition of the classic Jane Austen novel.

The Ballad of Jack and Rose - (2005) - B
--> This film pretends to be more than it is, imo.

Northanger Abbey - (2007) - B
--> Felicity Jones is a prettier girl than Sally Hawkins in Persuasion, but her performance is less impressive. There isn't as much depth to her character though, so she has less to work with.

Amelia - (2009) - B
--> Movie about the (adult) life of Amelia Earhart.

Since i've been doing things that require more than a few minutes of attention here and there i haven't been watching much on Netflix.

Men in Black 3 - Hadn't seen it yet. Was great.

Guardians of the Galaxy - Just as good the second time around. Really glad i saw this in theaters though.

Riddick - Wish i had seen this in theaters. Was fantastic.

A bunch of kids movies R got for Xmas. Was shocked at how in some instances i remembered them word for word (like Ducktales)

Also been Watching Locked Up Abroad.
Season 5 was pretty lame. Season 6 is meh.

After years of trying to get Mrs. Grayghost to watch anime with me, I've finally made a breakthrough. Excellent timing too because I was in between series' and was ready for the next thing.

So she says there's one on Netflix called PSYCHO-PASS that looks pretty cool and that she'd be willing to check it out. I was thrilled about this because that show was pretty much my number one choice to watch next anyway. How cool is that? Turns out the show is awesome and we're both loving it seven episodes in.

Avatar - (2009) - B
--> Impressive visual effects, but the story is lackluster and basically a rehash from previous movies.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets - (2007) - B
--> Fun, unpretending movie. I like the desk scenes the most, as well as the book scene.

Up - (2009) - A
--> Excellent. The right amount of comedy with some dramatic elements make this a classic Pixar movie.

The Rescuers - (1977) - B-
--> I was dissapointed by this one. The main character is boring and the story kind of is too.

The Sound of Music - (1965) - A
--> Classic.

Avengers Assemble - (2012) - B+
--> It's kind of nice to see the different superheroes together. I'm not a big superhero fan, though. I like how only Thor can lift his hammer.

Fargo - (1996) - A+
--> The accent is hilarious. Count how many times they say "ya".

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - (2008) - B
--> Never as good as Harry Potter, but still enjoyable enough.

The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn - (2011) - B
--> I absolutely love the Tintin comics. I must've read them 10 times each, as a child. This movie was on one hand great, on the other hand the characters looked so real at times it was unsettling.

Surviving Christmas - (2004) - F
--> Terrible Christmas movie. Nevermind the acting, who greenlighted this scenario?!

Becoming Jane - (2007) - B
--> As I'm a sucker for costume dramas, I always enjoy a movie in the genre. While Anne Hathaway does a commendable job, I think they made a mistake casting an American actress to play Jane Austen. Her American accent sometimes comes through.

Inception - (2010) - A
--> An example of what every thriller should be.

View from the Top - (2003) - D
--> Fairly lame plot, cliché characters.

Fantastic Mr. Fox - (2009) - B+
--> Somehow I never heard of this movie, at all. Glad I watched it. Very original look and feel.

As someone who's lived in Minnesota most their life, I can tell you that no one where I live talks that way. Possibly way up in the northern part of the state but not where I live.

i don't know how i feel about this

Yeah, me too.  I watched the first movie on Netflix a couple weeks ago.  So much wasted potential.  Decent effects in the battles/dogfight scenes, and there were some moments that they could have really used to explore the subject matter better (such as when Renate and James are coming out of the theater after having seen The Great Dictator), but otherwise it was expletives for the sake of expletives, cheap laughs, poor pacing, and too much contrast between the enormity of the outside shots and the interiors (blame it on 100% CGI).  So much wasted potential.  It could have been good, campy fun, or it could have been an interesting socio-political statement, but it ended up being neither.  Casting a faux Sarah Palin as the president was unnecessary low hanging fruit, and then portraying her as a gun-toting, commie-hating, southern hick war monger was just poor taste.  It was interesting enough for a single watch, but it was like a bad train wreck.  I wanted to stop watching, but it was just so bad that I thought maybe it would pay off at the end with some major cheese, or something.  Ultimately, it never did.

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (Extended Version) - Not bad but nothing stellar. I'm definitely looking forward to the conclusion of the series tho.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (Super-Sized Version) - Was ok

Finished Locked Up Abroad finally.

Frontline: Hunting the Nightmare Bacteria - Caught about half of this last night before i passed out. I'll finish it tonight.

Mankind: Decoded - Ran thru the first season. Each episode is something like 20-25 minutes. Pretty sure of that at least 14 minutes is recycled footage.

Alaska State Troopers - Season 4 should be just about done. Not sure how many got added but i think i still have a couple left.

Escape - foreign film. Was decent nothing special. Small band of marauders kill a girls family and capture her. She spends the rest of the movie escaping with some help.

Goon - This has been in my queue since it was put on Netflix. I was surprised at how good it was.

Snowpiercer - I liked this one. Last couple minutes of the end was pretty lame IMO though.

Wolf of Wallstreet - Apparently the new recordholder for saying "fuck" in a movie. Honestly it didn't really stand out to me. Another one i enjoyed. Quite deserving of its R rating.

The Truth Behind Zombies - Pretty sure i had seen this before. Or something quite similar. Had it on for background while playing Dead Island.

The Universe - Started season 1 of this. Episodes are 45 mins so it will take longer for me to go through than Mankind did. Great show for bed time ;)

On regular TV i also got caught up on
Agent Carter
Brooklyn 99
just finished tonights new ep of The Walking Dead

Now I know anti-smoking PSAs are serious business-- especially ones with an anti-bullying angle to them-- but I think this is one of the funniest things I've seen on YouTube since I discovered that Huey Lewis / Weird Al scene:

Fargo - (1996) - A+
--> The accent is hilarious. Count how many times they say "ya".

As someone who's lived in Minnesota most their life, I can tell you that no one where I live talks that way. Possibly way up in the northern part of the state but not where I live. I understand why the movie exaggerates it and I'm alright with it, but I hope no one bases their opinion of my state on this film.

Nah. I base my opinions of Minnesota, from the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous and the TV series, Coach. ;)

I've been watching through Friends for the first time with my lady. I also watched Tusk last night...which was...weird. I'm usually a fan of Kevin Smith movies, despite how uneven they are...this one was a little too uneven even for me.

That's how I felt about Red State. I prefer Kevin Smith when he does Comedy.



Started rewatching Venture Bros. over from Season 1

Red State was weird too, but I understood the commentary on radical right-wing "religious" groups that he was trying to convey. Tusk is just plain old dumb (and not good B-movie dumb).

The Universe still.

Also snuck in a movie.
Checked out The Interview.

One great scene was Eminem nonchalantly saying "I'm gay" and everyone freaking out and asking him what he meant by it. "I'm a homosexual."

On the whole it was a meh movie. Glad it ended up getting to netflix so quick. Silly the amount of controversy it stirred up.

Finished all the available eps of
The Universe
Alaska State Troopers

Wish this series was episodic but each one is a stand alone.
Truth Behind: Dead Sea Scrolls
Truth Behind: Bermuda Triangle
Truth Behind: Nevada Triangle
Truth Behind: The Nasca Lines

Also
Myth Hunters - Last one i caught was about Ivan the Terribles secret library.

Psych - Maybe i'll finally finish this series.

Stan Lees Super Humans - Some are really interesting (guy whose body breaks down lactic acid so he can run forever), some are crazy(guy with skull more than 2x the average thickness who does stupid shit like hammer nails with his forehead), some are stupid (people who make things like "rocket boots").

The Next Space Race - documentary about the privatization of space travel and the big 3 fighting for the contracts.

The Making of VGHS - Video Game High School was pretty cool. Behind the scenes stuff was also pretty cool.

Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch - Plastics are overused and improperly recycled. Shocking. Oh wait no it isn't.


Finally
Cabin Fever: Patient Zero
RoboCop (Original)
Total Recall (Original)

More movies tonight likely. I've got the new Robocop on my to watch list.

Rapture-Palooza - Liked this better than the rapture movie Rogen and Franco did.

Lawless - Knew nothing about it going in but was told i should check it out. Was fantastic. The person suggesting it definitely undersold it. I was expecting it to be in the meh to good range. Takes place in during prohibition.

The Wrestler - (2008) - B+
--> I never liked wrestling (too fake, too...stupid) and after watching this movie I still don't.

The Messenger - (2009) - B+
--> Strange movie about soldiers who have to tell family members that a soldier has died.

Revolutionary Road - (2008) - B-
--> Second viewing. Something about this movie I don't quite like. Maybe the ending, I'm not sure.

The Hunger Games - (2012) - B
--> Decent movie. In my opinion, the battle scenes are a weakest part of this movie. Unfortunately, that's pretty much all you get in the second half.

Anonymous - (2011) - B+
--> Great drama about Shakespeare.

The Wolf of Wall Street - (2013) - A-
--> Maybe not as good as I was expecting, considering all the hype, but still a great movie.

Waterworld - (1995) - C
--> For me this movie suffers what a lot of 80's and 90's action movie suffer from: too old for the action/effects to be any good and yet too new for me to disregard the action because it's simply an "old" movie. Instead, I roll my eyes during every cliché action scene.

The Tuxedo - (2002) - C+
--> Late Jackie Chan comedy. Here, he's starting to get slightly too old to play his typical role, though he still does well enough in the action scenes.

The Last Samurai - (2003) - B
--> The ending is so cheesy it almost ruins this film.

Life of Pi - (2012) - A
--> I'm probably an idiot, but I didn't see the ending coming at all.

Breakdown - (1997) - D
--> This ticks all the boxes for cheap and lame thriller movie.

Flight - (2012) - B+
--> Good movie about an airline pilot struggling with alcoholism.

Empire of the Sun - (1987) - A
--> Feels like a "classic" movie (in a good way).

The Iron Lady - (2011) - B+
--> Impressive how well Meryl Streep resembles Margaret Thatcher.

The Expendables 2 - (2012) - B
--> In the category "so stupid it becomes good again", my favorite line is Arnold saying "we all belong in a museum" or something like that.

Mao's Last Dancer - (2009) - B+
--> Drama about a chinese classical dancer going to America.

The Hurt Locker - (2008) - B
--> As a movie this is great stuff. But (even though I know nothing of military stuff) I wonder why the "team" consists of only 3 people. Would they do it like that in real life?

Well, it hadda happen sooner or later: A "meta" episode of Sonic Boom that references the original Genesis games and other vidyas of the 8-bit/16-bit era, featuring a twist on rock-paper-scissors using Calvinball rules in the final boss battle. Best of all, it features a Pinky and the Brain reference, which is always awesome.

I love Howard Scott Warshaw so this movie was A-OK in my book.

I've been watching a lot of Godzilla movies in the past few weeks. Never had seen any before but a coworker lent me a stack of blu-rays and dvds so I've watched Destroy all Monsters, Terror of Mechagodzilla, Godzilla V. King Ghidorah (1991) and Godzilla V. Mothra: Battle for Earth (1992). They've all been pretty good but I loved Godzilla V. King Ghidorah.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Fokakis79 on May 04, 2015, 04:10:49 PM
90s Godzilla is the best. Godzilla vs. Destroyah is a good one of the newer Godzilla movies.

I also liked Atari Game Over or at least the parts that were about the beginnings and growth of Atari. I was not really interested in the landfill part, I feel that topic has been talked about enough recently.

It was cool to hear them talk about E.T. was not the sole reason of the decline of Atari.

I think I have to agree with that at this point. I watched Final Wars and the original Godzilla Vs Mothra this weekend. I have a few more in the pile that I borrowed from my buddy but they're all from the 60s. I want to get my hands on Biollante and Destroyah, as well as the Criterion Blu-Ray of 1954.

Dog Day Afternoon - (1975) - B+
--> Movie about 2 brothers who go and rob a bank. You'd think they'd have a better plan. :P

Frozen - (2013) - A
--> The classic Disney recipe with a twist. Totally familiar to anyone who has watched a Disney film in the last 15 years, mixed with a couple of less-obvious plot twists which really add to the otherwise classic story. The animation is great and even the songs are fun.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - (2010) - B-
--> Decent as the action movie it is, but it misses something extra.

Thor - (2011) - B-
--> About the same as Prince of Persia. I did miss the first 30min or so of the movie. I didn't quite understand how Thor's homeworld looks like. The CGI, at times, looked disjointed.

A River Runs Through It - (1992) - A
--> This movie stands head and shoulders above the previous 2 action movies. It shows you don't need violence or special effects to make a good movie. It does suffer a bit from the "will anything ever happen in this movie?" syndrome, but the waiting only makes it more powerful when something does happen.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen - (2011) - (B)
--> I probably missed too much of this movie to truly rate it. I only saw the last 45 minutes. Nothing particularly stood out to me; it's a generic fun-to-watch kind of movie.

Knight and Day - (2010) - B
--> This movie has everything going for it to be an absolute stinker, and it started out as one. For some reason, seeing Tom Cruise sort of lampoon himself as the Mission Impossible cool guy, really works in this movie.

Wreck-It Ralph - (2012) - A
--> Frozen is probably the better classic Disney movie, this one is fun because it's not. Of course the video game references are a lot of fun.

Playing for Keeps - (2012) - C-
--> Worst movie of this post.

My wife pointed out that today is Towel Day ( http://www.towelday.org/   or   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towel_Day ) so we had to watch Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

[img width=700 height=371]https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7702/18076891466_0773b15ba1_o.jpg[/img]

I made that picture big enough so you can make it a wallpaper, if you're the sort to not simply have a black screen like me, I rather like it.





Because today is also Memorial Day, I'm going to look and see if we can stream the movie Memorial Day (1998)  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0168068

It stars Jeff Speakman, was released straight to video shortly after Independence Day was a big hit, which stared Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pulman......Jeff Speakman, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pulman. Memorial Day, Independence Day......anyways, I have stories about watching this with friends, I guess you would have had to have been there.

Been awhile...

Finished:
How The States Got Their Shapes Season 1 & 2

kink - Documentary/behind the scenes of the family of dirty websites most will pretend they have never heard of. Seemed to focus pretty heavily on the guys. Could just seem that way since i was in it for the boobies. Interesting to hear the extremely varying views on the industry from people who work in the various aspects of it.

Frontline: United Stated of Secrets - documentary about the gov stealing everyones information from everywhere in the world. Having seen quite a bit more info than i had previously known i'm not sure who is a worse offender. Bush or Obama... Probably Obama since it really seemed to blossom after he lied about shutting it down.

Supermassive Black Holes - From 2000 so not the most up to date info but interesting never the less. Plus since it was from BBC it was something i had never seen before.

From Here to Infinity - Even older (1999) about dark matter. Also rather dated but again since it was from Horizon (apparently BBCs NOVA) i had never seen it.

Generation Earth Season 1- I remember nothing about this so i'll have to add it back to my queue. Might have ran all 3 eps while i was sleeping lol

Mysteries of the Unseen World - All about varying levels of small things people never think about. Germophobes beware.

How To Grow a Planet Season 1 - Plants don't get enough credit for shaping the Earth and its creatures. Really interesting. Host was kind of strange... Like shoving a test tube of "freshly made" oxygen up his nose after shocking it out of some billion year old ore.

Filthy Cities - 3 eps Medieval London, Revolutionary Paris, Industrial New York - Again something you wouldn't normally think about. How did they manage before sewers, public works, modern medicine, health codes. It was some nasty shit. Society should have crumbled into the rot.


Currently watching

I recently started a rewatch of the Dark Angel TV show.  I also have been watching the original 21 Jump Street series off and on via Hulu.  Surprisingly, it still kind of holds up in some ways.  Yes, it's a bit cheesy, but it did have an edge to it.  It's weird though, because either they redubbed parts of the show to get it on broadcast TV, or Hulu has a mildly censored version, because you can tell there are times when they're saying something, but you hear something else.  It's a little goofy...

I didn't see anybody mention Mr. Robot. It's on USA Network. The first episode was released free a whole bunch of places as a promo. It's been getting universal praise as far as I can tell. In fact I heard the network picked it up for season two before it even premiered officially on the network. It's good  :nod:

Well I soon will be watching the walking dead spin-off. I think it starts in August. And The Strain is starting again soon. I enjoyed the first season. Neither of those really qualify for the "right now" part but...close enough?

I actually do like Wayward Pines although I get the feeling I'm missing quite a bit from the book.

If anybody needs something to watch and missed Silicon Valley...brilliant, brilliant. An very hard R-rated brilliant, still brilliant.

Started watching The Devil is a Part-Timer last night with the Mrs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eCFxxQ4WE0

It is really funny and I would recommend it highly based on the first three episodes.

One thing that is bothering the shit out of us though is that things that you would expect to be subtitled, even when you have the subs off, don't sub. Street signs, title cards, etc.

This show exacerbates that problem right away in the first episode with the characters speaking Latin for about the first three minutes. So you have to go turn the subs on. Then when they start speaking English the subs are still on but the subs can be very different from what is being said in the dub. It can be very distracting.

I'm glad all these shows are available for streaming (we're watching on Netflix) but something is lost here between Funimation and Netflix.

It is kinda hidden away in their menus since they changed the site a few months ago but if you sign in to netflix.com you can go here:
https://www.netflix.com/WiViewingActivity

From there you can report issues with whatever you have recently watched.
It turns out there is even a specific option for a bad sub/miscaptioning.

Thanks man, we've also found that watching the show on a bigger tv helps. The subs take up less of the screen so it's easier to read them only when you need to.

Just discovered these Wisconsin tourism ads featuring Robert Hays, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Otto reprising their roles from Airplane!

Kinda makes me wish Leslie Nielsen was still around to be in these ads.

Not to mention Peter Graves.

And Lloyd Bridges.

And Robert Stack... although they did use some of his voice clips in these.

And that campy guy in the air traffic control tower with the smartass rejoinders.

And Julie Hagerty-- oh wait, she's not dead. Or is she? Ahhh, who the hell cares.


I even found a few behind-the-scenes videos about the commercials:

Django Unchained - (2012) - A
--> Brutal, but great.

Virtuosity - (1995) - C-
--> Paper-thin plot and cringe-worthy early CGI special effects make for a movie that didn't age well at all.

Death Becomes Her - (1992) - B-
--> Nothing special, but it has some funny moments.

Run Fatboy Run - (2007) - B-
--> Another comedy that works in parts and doesn't in others.

Gone with the Wind - (1939) - A-
--> It's incredible to think how old this movie is. I just went through the entire cast on wikipedia and they're all dead except for Olivia de Havilland, who is 99 years old. Also, what's in the water in Hollywood? So many of these actresses ended up in their 90ies, it seems. The movie itself is good, has some fun moments, but could do with being shorter. it just goes on and on and on and then ends rather abruptly. Almost as if they ran out of money and decided to just end it there.

Shanghai Noon - (2000) - B+
--> Now here's a comedy done right!

Shanghai Knights - (2003) - B+
--> Same thing, just as good, except less original, obviously.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery - (1997) - B
--> Groovy, baby.

The Thin Red Line - (1998) - B+
--> Good war movie.

Waking Ned Devine - (1998) - B
--> Not bad at all.

Speed 2: Cruise Control - (1997) - C-
--> Holy shit does this tick every cliché box. The ship at the end, just lol.

Planes - (2013) - B-
--> Unlike Cars, this is not a Pixar movie. The story is cookie cutter thugh ends satisfyingly, but the animation is great.

The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement - (2004) - D
--> A little more stupid and this movie would've fallen into "so bad it's good" teritory, but as it stands it's just bad.

A Knight's Tale - (2001) - B
--> Heath Ledger has been dead for over 7 years. Wow.

I dunno if it's because the NFL preseason is a bout to kick off or what, but I recently watched the entire run of Bud Bowl commercials on YouTube:

Damn, these things just got dumber with every passing year, didn't they? Not that the Bud bowl ad campaign was brilliant for a start. Sadly, the Bud Bowls tended to much closer and far more competitive than the Super Bowls they were advertised on...

The new "Madden Season" fake trailer thing.  Last years was so lame I forgot about it, and since I didn't see the beginning I genuinely thought this was a movie trailer, so I watched the whole thing.  Likely any of you that watch Youtube have already seen it, but to those that haven't:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eVF9uBbuqc

I still want this to be a real movie, but then again I can pretty much watch anything and be entertained by it.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on August 26, 2015, 01:20:41 PM
The 51st State - (2001) - D
--> A really stupid action comedy starring Samuel L Jackson in the UK. The plot doesn't make any sense.

Burke & Hare - (2010) - B
--> I liked this black comedy about two corpse stealing idiots.

Daens - (1992) - C-
--> An old movie from Belgium about worker's condition in Aalst in the 19th century. Too long and boring, in my opinion.

When Harry Met Sally... - (1989) - B+
--> Billy Crystal is very witty in this movie. His delivery is snappy and on-point. I think his interaction with Ryan is what makes this one stand out.

The Social Network - (2010) - B
--> Probably full of exaggerations for dramatic effect, but who cares, it's entertainment!

Red - (2010) - B-
--> Similar to The Expendables, this is an "old actors ensemble cash in" type movie. It's not that bad, it's just not very good either.

La Grande Vadrouille - (1966) - B+
--> Very funny French comedy starring the legendary Louis de Funès. They don't make movies like this anymore.

Monsters University - (2013) - B+
--> Not as good as some of Pixar's better films, but still very enjoyable, with a good message.

Rosemary's Baby - (1968) - B
--> Weird stuff. I'm not into horror (don't like getting scared) but this one pretty timid.

Die Hard 4.0 - (2007) - B+
--> It's Willis! It's hackers! It's shit blowing up!!! Actually the plot is quite convincing.

Cinderella - (2015) - B
--> Costumes, casting (especially Blancett), sets and cinematography are all excellent. But at the end  I just felt a bit..."is that it?"

The Scandalous Lady W - (2015) - B+
--> Good costume drama set in the 18th Century about a true story concerning a seperation between a noblewoman and her husband.

Hall Pass - (2011) - D
--> A big "wtf" plot with some good laughs here and there. It feels like the director couldn't decide whether he wanted to make an "American Pie" style movie, or the opposite, and sort of lands awkwardly in between.

Captain America: The First Avenger - (2011) - B-
--> These superhero movies are stupid. They're only saved by the sheer amount of money being thrown into them to make the special effects cool and pay for all those great actors to play minor parts. I've never been to one of these in the cinema. Heck, I've only seen the older ones on TV. With so many of these coming out, I wonder if we're going to see a "Guitar Hero 2.0", i.e. the publishers saturating the market and that market eventually imploding. I kind of think they're heading that way, but I could be wrong, as these movies make bucketloads. Also, Haley Atwell's hot.

Holy crap... that's ME!  :o


Speaking of Justin Roiland: I recently discovered one of his early internet sensations from a decade ago, House of Cosbys. He only made four episodes before Cosby's attorney slapped him with a cease-and-desist notice.

Kinda sad that the series ended on a clip show...


BTW I also discovered that Rick and Morty are basically the toned-down versions of another Roiland creation, Doc and Maarti. And they were a parody of Doc Brown and Marty McFly from Back to the Future. Only difference was, Doc kept his "time-travel machine" in his pants, and urged Maarti into, er, "working the controls."

That's about as detailed a description as I care to give.

ANYway, there are a few Doc-and-Maarti eppies on YouTube, but the content is too NSFW for me to link them here. You'll hafta trudge over to YouTube on your own to see 'em... if you dare.

The Witches of Eastwick - (1987) - B
--> Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer and Susan Sarandon are the "witches" in this comedy. But the star of the show is Jack Nicholson.

Magic Beyond Words: The J.K. Rowling Story - (2011) - C
--> J.K. Rowling's "story" isn't quite as entertaining as her writing.

Last Vegas - (2012) - B+
--> If you can get past Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro and Morgan Freeman playing a parody of themselves, then this movie is a hoot.

Parker (2013) - C+
--> Quite a graphic action movie. Jason Statham is his usual self, but I'm not convinced of Jennifer Lopez's acting ability.

Charlie Wilson's War - (2007) - A
--> Engrossing, funny and well-acted, this movie is what every movie should be.

A Good Woman - (2004) - B-
--> Decent movie, but it didn't feel completely right. The American characters don't seem to belong in this movie full of "don't worry old boy" English talk.

No Country for Old Men - (2007) - A
--> Seems like 2007 was a good year for movies. This one is different from Charlie Wilson's War, but just as good if not better.

Olympus Has Fallen - (2013) - B
--> Gerard Butler is good here, but he can't hide the fact that the script is pretty wonky, and some things just don't make sense. Regardless, this is typical brainless action-movie fun. Think Die Hard.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps - (2010) - C-
--> This movie couldn't decide whether it wanted to play out the "greed is good" or "greed is bad" card; tries to do both, and fails miserably as a result. Compare & contrast with The Wolf of Wall Street. That movie has vision, direction, and doesn't try to pull punches. This one is a capitalism-apologist movie that never gets off the ground.

Black Book - (2006) - B+
--> Dutch thriller set during WWII directed by Paul Verhoeven.

Marley & Me - (2008) - C
--> I'm not a dog person and this didn't do anything for me. The dog was annoying, destructive and disobedient, throughout the entire movie. Who would want such a pet? It makes no sense to me.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - (1968) - B+
--> Chitty chitty bang bang! Also, Hushabye Mountain is a great song.

Jack the Giant Slayer - (2013) - C
--> You can tell a lot of money went into this production, but the story simply doesn't hold your attention for very long. It also feels like a fantasy world that was cobbled up at the last second, something I also felt a bit with the Narnia movies, but even more here.

Men in Black 3 - (2012) - B
--> Follows the same succes formula as the previous 2 movies and why the hell not. Though the end is a nice touch.

The Dark Knight Rises - (2012) - B-
--> Meh, I'm totally not into this, or most of the superhero movies. Everything is dark and bland with this one, I can't tell the minor characters apart, and the movie goes on for too long.

The World Is Not Enough - (1999) - B-
--> You can tell the makers are already taking the piss with the whole James Bond franchise by casting Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - (2008) - C+
--> Stupid, but I didn't really care.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol - (2011) - B+
--> This is probably my favorite Mission Impossible film. The scene in Dubai is awesome.

Kingdom of Heaven - (2005) - B-
--> This is one of those "Let's do an epic movie!" in the wake of LOTR. It's alright...I guess.

Casino Royale - (2006) - A
--> Best Bond movie to date, in my opinion. This has the right suspense/action balance. The card scenes are terrific. Everyone went crazy over Skyfall, but the big finale in that one is just way too boring and action-packed, for a Bond movie.

Silk Stockings - (1957) - B
--> Fred Astaire in his older years. The dancing is still great, but there's slightly less of it. The songs are hilariously condescending towards women. There's also some really good jokes here and there.

Cider with Rosie - (2015) - B+
--> The kind of movie in which nothing happens, but one that simply tries to create a sense of atmosphere. It works, too.

A Walk in the Clouds - (1995) - B-
--> Really cheesy and vacuous. The plot is very one-dimensional and straightforward. I could predict what the characters were going to say all the time.

i'm not that big of a fan to go that deep into the rabbit hole, all i'm watching is the MGM movies. Only Skyfall left! i definitely think Daniel Craig is my favourite bond, but Roger Moore is my favourite of classic bond actors, even though he had some really cheesy moments. A View to a Kill was really great. Casino Royale is probably the best in terms of good movies, but lacking gadgets and Q is a disappointment.

Just finished Five Deadly Venoms on Netflix.  I don't know how I didn't notice, but there are a bunch of Chang Cheh movies on Netflix, which for the most part are good.  I do have a few niggling annoyances to grieve about, such as the title changes and the removal of the (familiar) dubs.  But the movies also have been cleaned up considerably.  Watching Five Shaolin Masters (formally know to me as Five Masters of Death) with the clean, non-panned images, stereo sound, and Cantonese language makes me feel as if I'm watching it again for the first time.  So much fun.  Hopefully we can get some more Chang Cheh (both older Ti Lung flicks and maybe some more Venom Mob movies) and maybe branch out into Joseph Kuo movies.  Man, it's a great month to be a kung-fu fan and a Netflix member!

Just finished up the season finale of Sonic Boom, featuring the show's first appearance of "only the second-most popular character in the whole canon," as Dr. Eggman so fourth-wall-shatteringly puts it. Much of the episode is a not-so-subtle needling of the Shadow fandom, with Eggman playing the genuflecting-overly-reverent-fanboy to the hilt, especially during Shadow's climactic one-on-one battle against... ummm, that other hedgie dude.

--> Not as good as Casino Royale. Less tension and not enough poker bluffing. Also suffers from extreme "shaking camera" syndrome. That car sequence at the start is damn near impossible to watch.

Hachi: A Dog's Tale - (2009) - B
--> I'm not really a dog person, so this movie isn't really for me. At least this dog isn't an asshole like the one in Marley & Me.

Wall Street - (1987) - B+
--> Good movie.

The Man Who Would Be King - (1975) - B
--> Sean Connery and Michael Caine in a hilarious movie, good stuff!

Skyfall - (2012) - B+
--> Better than QoS, but worse than Casino Royale. I feel like Skyfall misses a bit of that Bond glamour, and the final big action feels too generic and dirty for a Bond movie.

Fast Five - (2011) - C-
--> Pedal to the metal and brain turned off!!! Haha, this movie is so stupid, and I have to laugh everytime I see The Rock's oiled up arms. Can't believe how they turned a movie franchise of tuning imported Japanese cars into one about heists, but they did it. And looking at sales, this is marketing genius.

Big Hero 6 - (2014) - A
--> Really impressed by this movie. It does everything right and has a good message. Not made by Pixar but by "Disney Animation Studios" and have to say this one is better than some of the movies Pixar has put out (cough, Cars 2, cough)

Escape to Witch Mountain - (1975) - C
--> Children's movie that hasn't aged well, in my opinion, when compared to Chitty Chitty, Bang Bang for example. The plot is far-fetched and sometime the script is very poorly written. Some of the things the children say really aren't realistic.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - (1967) - B
--> Very progressive movie about interracial relationships, made in the 1960ies! Good movie in general, entirely dialogue-driven, something you wouldn't see much today anymore.

The Quick and the Dead - (1995) - A
--> Great Western in the Sergio Leone style about aquickdraw duelling tournament.

A View to a Kill - (1985) - B-
--> Hilariously comedic by today's standards, not sure if that was intentional back in the day.

WarGames - (1983) - B
--> The classic "hacking" at the start of the film is probably the best part of it, quite fun to see all the old hardware being looked at as "high-tech stuff".

October Sky - (1999) - A-
--> Terrific movie about following your dreams.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace - (1999) - B
--> Fun movie, but 16 years later the CGI looks dated. I didn't grow up with the older trilogy, which is maybe why I don't  feel any adversity towards this movie.

Out of Sight - (1998) - B+
--> Great crime-comedy, with Clooney as the star. Lots of "random talk" scenes make this movie.

Just watched Leone's "Once Upon a Time...", first full movie I saw after 4 or 5 years (it was likely my 3rd time seeing it).

I was accidentally without the internet for couple hours and I remembered that I have some old stuff (Kurosawa, Leone, Bergman) a friend gave me some 5 years ago "to educate myself" . . . =)

Took my son to see Goosebumps.

Was worth watching. Would watch again.

I was thinking of going to see this.  My kids are probably too young, but the wife and I may sneak out to see it next week.

Hope you checked it out.

Planning on taking the family out to see The Good Dinosaur tomorrow. Guy i know took his grandkids to see it and said it was a good one.

I've been lax on my Netflix viewing updates... Watched a whole heap of documentaries and other educational stuffs.
Shotgunned Marvel's Jessica Jones over the weekend.
Finally saw Batman Begins
Currently watching season 1 of Gotham and of course more documentary stuff and educational stuff.

Lincoln - (2012) - A-
--> Great movie, great performance by Daniel Day-Lewis. My only critique is that the story itself isn't always the most interesting.

Star Wars Episode II & III - (2002 & 2005) - C
--> These really aren't that good. Too much was shot on green screen and it shows. The dialog scenes are static and you notice the actors are just standing before a CGI background and not "in" an environment. The "love" between Anakin and Padme is awkward. Mostly the script is just badly written and inconsistent. It doesn't make sense for Anakin to be accepted as Obi-Wan's apprentice when all the Jedis in episode I feel a "great danger" or something like that in him.

Octopussy - (1983) - C+
--> If you treat these older Bond movies as comedies then they're great fun. Otherwise, not so much.

Reservation Road - (2007) - C
--> Meh, it's ok. This is not "Revolutionary" Road.

Les Misérables - (1998) - B+
--> Good movie starring Liam Neeson, Uma Thurman and Claire Danes, enjoyed this one.

John Carter - (2012) - B-
--> Stupid story, nice visuals. I need a better TV.

Star Wars Episode IV, V, VI - (1977, 1980, 1983) - B, B-, B+
--> Better than the sequels/prequels because the scripts are much better and less convoluted. More about the emotion than the visual effects. The lightsaber duels are more realistic instead of the highly choreographed shit seen in the prequels. IV and V are kind of "meh", VI is easily the best, with real tension at the end with Luke, Vader & the Emperor.

Hidalgo - (2004) - B
--> A bit of a cookie cutter adventure/action movie, but worth the watch. Some of the arab characters are cardboard and cliché.

Home Alone & Home Alone 2 - (1990 & 1992) - both A-
--> Two of the best Christmas movies ever! Rating drops to B when viewed outside the Christmas period.

Cloud Atlas - (2012) - A+
--> One of the best movies I've seen this year, wow.

Afterwards - (2008) - D
--> Damn, the worst movie in this batch. Such boring crap. Let's whine about death & dying, blablabla, ugh.

Still on a TransFormers nostalgia jag. Been watching YouTube videos of the G1 cartoon, and found myself simultaneously entertained and embarrassed by how awesomely awful the show was. One of my newfound faves is a "best-of" compilation of Warpath, who has the most ridiculous-- not to mention the most family-friendly-- case of Tourette's Syndrome in pop-culture history. Or should I say... Turret's Syndrome? KA-ZANG!

I recently caught the ESPN 30-for-30 feature on the '85 Chicago Bears, as well as Four Falls of Buffalo, which recounted the Bills' unprecedented four-year Super Bowl (losing) run. Speaking of losers: I also took in the America's Game: The Missing Rings shows on the '81 Chargers, '88 Bengals, and '90 Buffalo Bills. Personally, I think they shoulda done one on the '81 Bengals instead of the Chargers... but that's me.

The Artist - (2011) - A
--> Great movie, more is less.

X-Men: The Last Stand - (2006) - C
--> Meh, run of the mill action flick, some of the effects already look dated.

The Croods - (2013) - B
--> Feelgood CGI movie, with agood vibe.

Hercules - (1997) - B-
--> Hmmm, this one might be as good as The Croods, but I expect more from Disney...I suppose it isn't easy to live up to the Lion King and other great movies of the era.

Johnny English Reborn - (2011) - C+
--> Gillian Anderson and Rosamund Pike! The film itself is mostly typical Bean stuff.

The Fox and the Hound - (1981) - B-
--> Sweet and innocent. Slow paced. I didn't realize this movie was made in 1981. It could as well have been 1960. It feels ancient if you watch this today. Are today's movies paced better, or do we simply no longer have an attention span worth mentioning?

The Squid and the Whale - (2005) - B+
--> Great comic drama style movie...the subject is quite banal but holds up.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on March 12, 2016, 05:50:03 AM
Oz the Great and Powerful - (2013) - B
--> Not bad, and great visuals too.

The Bridges of Madison County - (1995) - A
--> Very good, slow-paced romantic movie with Clint Eastwood & Meryl Streep.

Looper - (2012) - B+
--> Good, but I was expecting there to be a deeper level. The ending was kind of random, and I was hoping for more of a "holy shit" feeling at the end, sort of like Inception.

Cowboys & Aliens - (2011) - B-
--> Really odd theme for a movie. I bet this came out of a brainstorm session and they just decided to go with it.

Shutter Island - (2010) - A-
--> Wow! This had the kind of ending that Looper really needed.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift - (2006) - F
--> Damn, so bad it hurts. It also really annoys me when theycast 23-24 year olds who do not look young to pretend to be highschool kids.

La Grande Bellezza - (2013) - A++
--> Best move I've seen this year. Wondeful filmography, wonderful dialogue scenes.

White House Down - (2013) - C-
--> Cookie cutter stuff. What's more, I watched a movie some months ago with almost the same plot! Except in that one, the bad guys were Koreans. I should look at my posts in this thread, because I can't remember the title. The best part was that during the first 15min or so of this movie, I thought I was watching that other one again!

The Wolverine - (2013) - B
--> Much better than Xmen Last Stand, which I watched some time ago. The story was quite focussed, which helped a lot.

The Ninth Gate - (1999) - B+
--> The atmosphere of this movie was just fantastic. Unfortunately the writers didn't know what to do with the story at the end, so they just had a stupid open ending.

The Other Woman - (2009) - B-
--> Not a bad movie, but the director made the kid way too annoying.

Django Unchained - (2012) - A+
--> Django!!!

Mission: Impossible II - (2000) - C+
--> Meh, not that good at the end.

Arrietty - (2010) - A
--> Great Studio Ghibli movie.

Gosford Park - (2001) - A
--> I've seen this movie at least 3 times before, still as entertaining as ever. Best part is when Jeremy Northam starts playing the piano.

Spartacus - (1960) - C-
--> Damn, is this movie boring! I guess I should cut it some slack because it was made in 1960, but sheesh, it's an hour too long. Endless monologues...I guess the fight scenes were considered good back in the day?

Eight Below - (2006) - C+
--> Simple story, but not too bad of a movie.

The Mighty - (1998) - C
--> Friendship conquers all. Yay!

Death Race - (2008) - B-
--> Hilariously unrealistic plot, but great fun.

Non-Stop - (2014) - B
--> Great thriller with Liam Neeson

Red 2 - (2013) - B-
--> A bit of a cheap cash-in sequel to Red, but still ok.

12 Years a Slave - (2013) - A+
--> Wow, what a movie.

Maverick - (1994) - B+
--> Great comedy western

Enemy of the State - (1998) - B
--> Probably the 10th time I've seen this movie, and still as good. All the chase scenes with the satellite footage is the best.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on May 08, 2016, 05:00:03 PM
Crash - (2004) - B+
--> Great movie. I had never heard of it before, so I went in expecting nothing. Never realized this movie won several Oscars, including Best Picture.

Thor - (2011) - B-
--> This is one of the Marvel movies that isn't too bad (imo). The grand fight at the end is a bit silly though.

Oliver Twist - (2005) - B-
--> I'm not entirely convinced. The movie does have that "Dickens" look about it, which I like. But I guess I never knew the Oliver Twist story until now. It's kind of boring. I read Tales of Two Cities last year and that has a far more interesting story compared to this. Maybe the book is better though.

Pay It Forward - (2000) - C+
--> Cheesy as hell, but ok movie. Haley Joel Osment has a very annoying look, that he uses way too often, especially when he's acting sadness.

Man of Steel - (2013) - B-
--> Some aspects of the film I like, such as Superman finding it hard to live among humans (very similar to Thor actually). However the animosity between him and General Zod feels so...fabricated. As if they had to invent some nonsensical reason for Zod to hate Superman and try to destroy earth. I realize this plot was probably written for a comic book 30 years ago, where it might not matter much, but here it seems forced.

Cold Mountain - (2003) - A
--> Terrific movie, I love historical dramas like this.

The Maiden Heist - (2009) - C-
--> Very weird movie. It's a comedy heist film about 3 old museum guards. I think the plot could've been better. It also ends rather abruptly.

Rango - (2011) - B
--> One of the better non-Pixar animated movies out there. Rango's character is the best aspect of the movie.

The Great Gatsby - (2013) - B+
--> Enjoyed this movie a lot. So stylistic in the way some scenes follow each other. DiCaprio is incredible like always.

Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on June 12, 2016, 04:04:16 PM
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - (2014) - B
--> Is any of this in the actual book? the battles are nice and epic, but there seems to be a lack of "adventure" as well as character development (except for Thorin).

Inside Out - (2015) - A
--> Pixar at its best.

Iron Man 2 - (2010) - B
--> Entertaining, but that's about it.

Safe House - (2012) - B-
--> Interesting concept, but the action scenes weren't the best, as well as Ryan Reynolds performance.

Tamara Drewe - (2010) - B+
--> Comedy that ticks all the right boxes, with good performances by Gemma Arterton, Roger Allam and Tamsin Greig. The two teenager girls are hilarious in this.

2 Guns - (2013) - B
--> This is a chliché action movie, but the banter between Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg make it worth the watch.

The Frozen Ground - (2013) - B+
--> Interesting detective/thriller movie starring Nicolas Cage. The ending was perhaps a bit predictable, but still good.

The Bucket List - (2007) - B
--> Two men find out they're both terminally ill and decide to go on a world tour. I enjoyed it a lot, but real cancer patients probably won't like how lightly the two protagonists seem to take their illness.

The Hangover Part II - (2011) - C+
--> If you can look past the fact that this movie's plot is virtually identical to the original hangover, it's not too bad.

X-Men: Days of Future Past - (2014) - A-
--> The best X-Men movie I've seen. A bit better than The Wolverine. Much better than X-Men: The Last Stand, which has really dated looking effects.

The Angels' Share - (2012) - A
--> At first I thought this was going to be another "marginalized youth do stupid things" movie, on which the Brits seem to have a patent. But it turned into a great story with a great ending.

The Grand Budapest Hotel - (2014) - A
--> Very original and random story. Daring visual style, the camera always looks straight at a wall/background...you have to see it for yourself.

Custer of the West - (1967) - C
--> This film tries to do too much at once, and fails at everything. It's also a bit too long, with some unnecessary scenes.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows - (2011) - B
--> Probably too much like the original, but still entertaining.

Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace - (1999) - C-
--> This movie's script really is its biggest downfall. There isn't much emotion, so the audience doesn't really care what happens. Watch Plinkett's review simultaneously for most enjoyment.

Jane Eyre - (2011) - B-
--> Not too bad, but after seeing the 2006 miniseries starring Ruth Wilson, I can't help but feel that Mia Wasikowska underacts every single scene. Compared with the miniseries, it also leaves out way too many scenes, as a result there's not enough time to build the relation between Eyre and Rochester. A missed opportunity, because the costumes/decors are great.

Contagion - (2011) - B
--> An unknown virus appears in Hong Kong and nobody has a vaccine. The story starts great but sort of derails a bit towards the end. It also ends quite abruptly, which could've been done better, in my opinion.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on July 15, 2016, 07:38:52 PM
The Prestige - (2006) - B
--> Interesting topic for a movie. I did see the "surprise" at the end coming from a mile away, though.

My Week with Marilyn - (2011) - B+
--> Solid film, shows Marylin Monroe's human side.

Raging Bull - (1980) - B
--> This is a classic, but I wasn't blown away by it. Good movie nevertheless, but I guess because it's so hyped you expect something crazy.

Ned Kelly - (2003) - B
--> Interesting, had never heard of Ned Kelly before. The ending felt a little dissapointing.

The Prince and the Showgirl - (1957) - A-
--> Really funny comedy, something you would never see anymore today.

Pitch Perfect - (2012) - B
--> Found it really strange at first. All the "students" seemed so outlandish and extravert. And they use an acting style which makes it seem more like a documentary instead of a film, which takes some time to get used to. After that it became fun.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - (2013) - C+
--> A bit cheesy but oh well.

The Lincoln Lawyer - (2011) - A
--> Excellent "courtroom" thriller.

A Bridge Too Far - (1977) - B
--> Fun movie, a little dated in parts, pacing could be better. On the other hand, it's filled to the rafters with good actors of the time.

X-Men: First Class - (2011) - B
--> Always sort of the same movie, but I've come to like the X-Men films, probably my favorite superhero film series to date.

Northanger Abbey - (2007) - B+
--> Always been a sucker for costume dramas, and this is a good one too.

The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice - (2008) - C
--> A direct-to-DVD style movie, and oh boy, it shows. Nevertheless some good laughs with the main character, who has good jokes and expressions throughout.

Leaving Las Vegas - (1995) - A-
--> Very captivating movie.

Rush Hour 3 - (2007) - B-
--> Same good-spirited action humour as the previous 2 installments. Only negative is that they essentially made the same movie thrice.

A Most Wanted Man - (2014) - B+
--> A must-watch being the last movie by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Not to mention it's a great movie as well.

The Rack Pack - (2016) - B-
--> Straight-to-TV BBC movie about the popularity growth of snooker during Steve Davis's time in the 1980s.

Days of Thunder - (1990) - B
--> Tom Cruise once again is the young underdog with everything going against him, but who ends up victorious in the end. Also see Top Gun.

Repo Men - (2010) - B
--> Action thriller about a distopian future with the biggest plot twist ever at the end.

Nell - (1994) - C
--> I'm not quite convinced by the story. I wonder if it's realistic, but despite that it was also quite predictable.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World - (2003 - A
--> What a damn shame this movie never got any sequels, whereas Pirates of the Carribean got 4. But I suppose the box office doesn't lie?

Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence - (1983) - B+
--> Great movie about British prisoner of wars in a Japanese camp. Starring David Bowie.

The Transporter - (2002) - B
--> Stupid, but Jason Statham is so cool. He's Vin Diesel cool.

A Few Good Men - (1992) - A
--> Super good courtroom drama, best of the best. I was shocked to realize how much Demi Moore has changed, after seeing her here.

Before Midnight - (2013) - A+
--> Very difficult movie to watch. The entire movie consists of only about 4-5 scenes, all with non-stop dialogue. This wasn't made for today's twitter/snapchat generation. But terrific movie.

I figured it was a goof when the main bad guy was intro'd as "Clarence Boddicker." And if that didn't clue me in, the slow-mo titty-missile launch replay at the end certainly did.

The actual show this comes from is called Mobile Cop/Detective/Sheriff Jiban, and apparently was influenced by RoboCop to some degree... like his hip-holster for example.

Here's the show's opening-credits sequence for Indonesia:

Born on the Fourth of July - (1989) - A-
--> Great movie, great performance by Tom Cruise.

Good Morning, Vietnam - (1987) - B+
--> Vietnam again. Not as profound as Born on the Fourth of July, of course, but great fun. Those radio scenes are legendary.

Chinatown - (1974) - A+
--> One of the best movies I've seen this year. A must see.

Flight of the Phoenix - (2004) - C+
--> A group of people crash in the middle of the desert and have to survive. The story is predictable, but has some enjoyable moments.

Despicable Me - (2010) - B+
--> Didn't realize how good this movie was. A lot of non-Pixar CGI movies are dubious at best (see: Ice Age sequels) but this has a lovely story.

True Grit - (1969) - B+
--> Comparing this one to the 2010 one is difficult without showing bias one way or the other. The 1969 movie-going public was a completely different one than the one in 2010. The 2010 one is way more...grittier.

Rashomon - (1950) - B
--> Hard to watch this movie today and be impressed. I know this was a milestone in movie history, just like Birth of a Nation, Gone with the Wind or Citizen Kane, but the issue is that the "modern" techniques used here have since been used in all sorts of movies, therefor rendering them less impressive than I'm sure they would've been in 1950.

King Arthur - (2004) - B-
--> One of the many "epic fantasy" films that followed in Lord of the Ring's wake. I'd say this is still quite a decent movie, if you don't compare it directly to LotR.

The Good Dinosaur - (2015) - A
--> Not the best Pixar movie, but definitely up there, and miles better than stuff like Cars 2.

The Master - (2012) - B+
--> Quite an uncomfortable movie to watch. A shellshocked WWII soldier finds a charismatic man who tries to heal him.

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert - (1994) - A-
--> Feelgood comedy of the highest order, this movie is great.

Cruel Intentions - (1999) - C
--> Strange movie. The actors act...strangely.

Post by: Sirgin on October 01, 2016, 07:05:37 PM
All Good Things - (2010) - B
--> Interesting thriller/crime movie starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst.

The Secret Life of Bees - (2008) - C
--> Strange sort of all-female feel good movie. A girl searches for her mother's past.

The Five-Year Engagement - (2012) - B+
--> These type of chick flick comedies are usually quite bad, but this one is genuinely funny.

Sense and Sensibility - (1995) - A
--> Must-see for period drama fans.

A Late Quartet - (2012) - B+
--> A thoughtful movie on an interesting idea; the impact of someone leaving a small group.

Slap Shot - (1977) - C+
--> Probably not a bad comedy in its day, but a lot of scenes feel a bit dated. I haven't quite gotten used to Paul Newman's acting style. The Hanson brothers are hilarious though.

The Kid with a Bike - (2011) - A
--> Great drama.

Jack Reacher - (2012) - B+
--> There's something about Tom Cruise in these types of movies that works really well.

The Fighter - (2010) - A
--> The acting in this movie is fantastic. Dicky is an absolute idiot, yet his brother Micky rarely gets mad at him. Their mother is just the worst.

Hart's War - (2002) - B
--> Not in the same league as Saving Private Ryan, the movie is a bit too predictable for that. But excellent if you like these type of military suspense films.

The first season of Attack on Titan.  While I am not an Anime fan in the strictest sense of the word (i.e., I won't just watch random Anime like I will kung-fu movies), I am pleasantly surprised by how good Attack on Titan is.  The premise is well thought out and interesting, and the characters are deep.  It is horrific at times, but it also doesn't contain the often disgusting tropes that plague Anime.  It does require a suspension of disbelief though, and I think people who nitpick reality in their entertainment too much possibly won't enjoy themselves, but I am engrossed enough put down the controller until the season is over and done.

and the documentary of the case on Netflix

If you watch both you need to read the book Hunting the West Memphis Boogeyman which highlights evidence not seen in the movies including the Paradise Lost Trilogy. They don't seem as innocent after reading the book and I can't decide if Guilty or Injustice.

Post by: Sirgin on November 27, 2016, 01:01:23 PM
Thor: The Dark World - (2013) - B
--> More of the same, but I do like the Thor universe.

Kon-Tiki - (2012) - B
--> Interesting movie about a group of Norwegian explorers who take a raft across the pacific ocean from Peru to the Polynesian islands.

The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came down a Mountain - (1995) - B+
--> Great comedy, enjoyed it.

The Maze Runner - (2014) - B+
--> Very innovative sci-fi (can you even call this sci-fi?) story, great concept & great execution, too.

Star Trek Into Darkness - (2013) - B+
--> I'm not a Star Trek fan, but I do like this movie and the 2009 franchise reboot. Benedict Cumberbatch seems to be awesome in everything.

Iron Man 3 - (2013) - B
--> More of the same Marvel stuff, but hey, Iron Man is a cool guy.

The Great Gatsby - (2013) - A
--> Second viewing, but doesn't dissapoint. I read the novel as well, and I do feel this movie represents it well.

Kundun - (1997) - A-
--> Historical drama about the childhood & young adulthood of the current Dalai Lama.

Boyhood - (2014) - A+
--> Incredible movie. Maybe the story isn't the best ever, but the idea of filming the same actors for 11-12 years is just amazing. The boy kind of remains the same for a long while, but then really starts growing up when he hits puberty.

War Horse - (2011) - A
--> Another terrific movie. Maybe the story is a bit predicable, but you can't fault it beyond that.

Transporter 3 - (2008) - B
--> Jason Statham is a badass!

Carnage - (2011) - A
--> This movie is 100% conversation between the 4 main characters, all in the same room. Great craftsmanship by Polanski.

Dans la maison - (2012) - B+
--> Another great movie...French movie.

Thunderbolt - (1995) - C-
--> Jackie Chan is much better in his all-out comedy action movies. This one tries to be serious and funny at the same time, and sort of fails at both.

Black Hawk Down - (2001) - B+
--> The portayal of war in this movie seems very realistic, although of course I can't say for sure. The "natives" seem to be potrayed maybe a bit too...animalistic.

Midnight in Paris - (2011) - A
--> Nobody does these types of movies better than Woody Allen and this is one of his best ones in recent years.

My recent interest in public-TV icon Bob Ross has led me to some Let's-Play-type YouTube videos where the player watches an episode of The Joy of Painting, while attempting to copy Ross's masterpiece in real time using Mario Paint.

Some more movies of past few months...

Deux jours, une nuit - (2014) - A-
--> Drama about a woman trying to keep her job.

United 93 - (2006) - B+
--> I went in a little bit sceptical, but a really good movie.

The Ghost Writer - (2010) - A
--> Great thriller, loved the suspense during the dock/harbor scene.

Welcome to the Rileys - (2010) - B
--> Ok drama, but not the best.

The Ides of March - (2011) - A
--> Great movie about an unusual suspect, with fantastic performances by Gosling and Hoffman.

Mission: Impossible III - (2006) - B-
--> Not as good as Ghost protocol, but way better than II.

The Terminator - (1984) - A
--> Classic. Some scenes look a bit dated, as one would expect. The 80ies hair looks a bit comical today.

Office Space - (1999) - B+
--> "That would be great, mmmk!"

John Wick - (2014) - B
--> Maybe a bit too much action, but the style is really nice.

Wadjda - (2012) - A
--> Definitely a must-watch, as this is a movie about Saudi-Arabia, shot in Saudi-Arabia, which is really rare in a country that doesn't really have a cinema culture.

Interstellar - (2014) - A+
--> Just epic, one of the best movies I've seen in years.

The Da Vinci Code - (2006) - B
--> Can't believe this movie is already 10 years old. Heck, nearly 11 now. If you would have told me it's 5 years old, I would have believed you.

Notes on a Scandal - (2006) - B+
--> Judi Dench is a huge b*tch in this movie, haha.

Incendies - (2010) - A
--> The final reveal is mindblowing.

Riddick - (2013) - C+
--> Easily the weakest movie of this list, but every now and then I really don't mind a senseless action movie.

Some more movie over the past month or two.

The Normal Heart - (2014) - B+
--> Well acted drama about the rise of the HIV epidemic in New York in the 80ies.

The Machinist - (2004) - B+
--> Interesting movie, the color palette is so washed out. Christian Bale really starved himself for this role.

21 Jump Street - (2012) - B
--> At first I found this movie cringe-worthy, but it somehow manages to work as a comedy, which I didn't expect.

Home Alone - (1990) - A
--> Such a christmas classic, probably the 10th time I've seen it.

Christmas with the Kranks - (2004) - D
--> Not a good movie and annoyed me with too many clichés.

The Lady in the Van - (2015) - A-
--> Great performance by Maggie Smith.

Looking for Eric - (2009) - B+
--> British drama, interesting story, worth the watch.

Great Expectations - (2012) - B
--> It felt like the makers tried to make this movie as "Dickens" as possible. Sometimes, it felt a little over the top.

Road - (2014) - B
--> Documentary film about the Irish Dunlop family of motor race drivers. They compete in the Isle of Man TT and other such public road races.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - (2016) - B+
--> This doesn't quite have the same appeal as Harry Potter, but the Potter/magical universe still provides a strong foundation for an enjoyable movie.

Empire of the Sun - (1987) - A-
--> It's Christian Bale again! The movie seems to linger a bit too long during the middle part, but still great.

The Matrix - (1999) - A
--> A landmark in the science fiction genre, still holds up well today.

Despicable Me 2 - (2013) - B
--> More of the same stuff. It's alright as far as CGI movies go, can't quite believe how succesful this franchise has been.

Gravity - (2013) - A+
--> I was absolutely blown away. Saw this one on Blu-ray. The visuals, the tension of the story, just incredible. Different from Interstellar, but just as good in my opinion. A must-watch.

Anna Karenina - (2012) - B
--> I was annoyed with the "fast cuts" editing in the beginning, but the movie eventually settles down and ends up doing ok.

American Hustle - (2013) - A-
--> Great heist/con artist type movie.

I've gone on record in recent years as saying that I usually don't enjoy watching movies because I get bored and feel like I'd much rather be playing video games.  However, recently I've done a complete 180, and haven't been playing many video games lately but have been watching a ton of movies instead.  Here's everything I've watched in the month of January:

The Guardian - Really enjoyed this one.  I usually just think of Ashton Kutcher as the goofy guy from That 70s Show, but it's nice to know that he can play some serious roles also.

Apollo 13 - I think I saw this in theaters when it first came out, but I was too young to really remember it.  It was pretty good.  This will be the first of many Tom Hanks movies to appear on this list.

Air Force One - This one was pretty good.  I don't have much else to say about it.

Executive Decision - Felt pretty similar to Air Force One, and I enjoyed it about the same.

Cast Away - Great movie.  I used to watch a lot of survival shows a few years back, and this one tapped into that special interest of mine.

The Game - This was kind of a bizarre movie, but I liked it.  Many twists and turns, but I think it took one turn too many.  I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it, but I think I would have preferred it if it had ended the way it looked like it was going to before the last twist.

Goodfellas - Ugh, I know this is a highly regarded movie, but I found it to be utterly boring.  I have some friends who said the same thing after I told them I recently watched this, so it's not just me.

My Cousin Vinny - This one was pretty good.  It took some time to really get going, but was very entertaining once it did.  I wish there were more courtroom scenes where Vinny actually seemed to know what he was doing instead of bumbling his way through it, but I guess that was kind of the point of the movie.

Grudge Match - This is essentially Rocky vs Raging Bull.  I love the Rocky movies but have never seen Raging Bull.  This one was alright.  I think I would have preferred it if it wasn't so silly and took itself a bit more seriously.

Escape Plan - I'm a big fan of 80s action movies, particularly some of Stallone's and Schwarzeneggar's best, so I was definitely intrigued by this one.  It was alright, but nothing particularly great.

Rush Hour - Good movie, but not quite as good as I remember it.  Chris Tucker is hilarious.

48 Hrs. - I don't know what it is, but I really like watching movies from the 80s.  Just the way the people and cities look really make me nostalgic.  But anyway, this one was alright.  The constant bickering between the two main characters started to annoy me.

Another 48 Hrs. - I liked this one a little better than the first one.

Missing in Action - I don't think I've ever watched a Chuck Norris movie before, but this one didn't really sell me on him.  This just felt like a crappy version of Rambo.

Se7en - Great movie.  I was already aware of the twist at the end, but it was still really cool watching it all unfold.

Mad Max - Didn't care for this one.  Felt pretty dull most of the time and jumped around a bit too much.  It also felt really contrived how Max and wife leave town and go who knows where and still somehow manage to run into the same biker gang that was terrorizing the place they just left.

Do The Right Thing - I liked this one.  Again, the 80s city setting really helps.  I was a bit disappointed with how it ended, but I think they were going for some sort of social commentary.

Tommy Boy - I really enjoyed this one.  I've never watched a Chris Farley movie before, but I'll be checking out some more in the future.

Dutch - I was mainly interested in this one as a chance to see Ed O'Neill as somebody other than Al Bundy.  It wasn't quite as good as I had hoped, but I liked it.

Taken - This one was pretty good.  Gets straight to the point without much fluff, which I like.

Big - I really enjoyed this one.  It was very interesting watching a 12 year old kid adapting to adult life, and Hanks does such a great job with these types of roles.

Phone Booth - I saw this one when it first came out, but didn't really remember it.  I like this one.  Some good 'on the edge of your seat' moments.

The Money Pit - I don't have much to say about this one.  It was alright, not great.

Ocean's Eleven - I liked this one, but not as much as I thought I would.

Black Mass - I really enjoyed this one.  Johnny Depp is unrecognizable as Whitey Bulger and does a great job of playing a cold-hearted, intimidating character.  Watching the drama surrounding his rise and fall was very entertaining.

The Ref - This one was alright.  A bit more crude than I was expecting.  Not that I really have a problem with that, I just thought this was more of a kid-friendly movie.

Fight Club - Never saw this one before, but I really enjoyed it.  I was already aware of the twist, but it was still entertaining to watch it from that perspective.

Road to Perdition - I thought this one was alright.  Some parts of it were kind of boring, but the last third or so is good.  I really liked the ending.

Independence Day: Resurgence - This was ok.  I liked the original a lot more.  It felt too much like a rehash since they brought back literally every character who didn't die in the first movie... except Will Smith!

Uncle Buck - I have to echo here what I said about Tommy Boy.  Really good movie, and I've never really seen a John Candy movie before, but want to check out more.

The Principal - I feel like this is one of those movies that most people don't like as much as I did, but I really enjoyed this one.  I mostly only know Jim Belushi from that sitcom he starred in a while back (I forget what it's called), so I had my doubts that he could pull off the role of a badass principal, but he pulls it off well.

Paddington - (2014) - A-
--> Charming, sweet and innocent.

Quartet - (2012) - B
--> Quite a novel subject, and worthy to make elderly the centre of a movie. What annoyed me slightly is that the main actors were cast for, well, being good actors. I was annoyed we never saw them sing.

Leviathan - (2014) - A+
--> If you haven't seen a Russian movie before, start here.

Fantastic Mr. Fox - (2009) - A
--> Repeat watching. This is the kind of movie I could watch once a year. I love the style, the camera angles, the witty dialogue. Also refreshing is the short length. I love how it doesn't wait around to get to the good stuff.

On the Waterfront - (1954) - C+
--> This is supposedly some masterpiece, probably because it was innovative for the time. But to me, it has aged too much, the plot is quite cliché and predictable, and overall I feel like there are better movies from this era.

Nebraska - (2013) - B+
--> Great movie. An honest depiction of rural America, without the veneer.

Love in the Time of Cholera - (2007) - D
--> Snoozefest, chick flick. Way too long for a movie where nothing happens.

Bambi - (1942) - B
--> This movie is 75 years old, and yes, it shows. However there are some enjoyable scenes and the animation is great. Funny how hunters were upset at the time of release, haha.

The Dinner - (2013) - B+
--> Great drama movie about people having dinner.

Moneyball - (2011) - B+
--> This is what all sports films should be: barely an sports, but all of the drama.

The Deep Blue Sea - (2011) - D-
--> Despite being about 40 minutes shorter than Love in time... this is just as painful to watch. Minutes-long scenes in which absolutely nothing happens. I guess this is a good depiction of depression, but in reality it's just artsy pretentious bs, and so so boring to watch.

Foxcatcher - (2014) - B+
--> Gripping performance by Steve Carelll and solid performance by Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo.

Courage Under Fire - (1996) - B+
--> Starts out as a war movie but really is more of a courtroom drama type suspense film. Great fun.

The Amazing Spider-Man - (2012) - B+
--> Another superhero movie, yawn. Actually, I was pleasantly surprised. I think Andrew Garfield makes for a great Spider-Man.

Gloria - (2013) - A-
--> Starts a little slow, but really good movie. At the end you feel happy about what you saw.

Pacific Rim - (2013) - C
--> The movie starts out well enough, although the reasoning for having 2 pilots in a mech (ok, "Jaeger") is just a lazy excuse to allow for more emotion and dialogue. For me, the movie starts to fall apart after about 40 minutes, after we well and truly get into the "gifted girl with a troubled past" plot that has been done to death already.

Plowed through The Iron Fist over the weekend.  While I think I mostly agree with the general feelings about the show, I have to disagree with the critique about the choreography.  While I did find it annoying that certain parts of fights where obviously done with stunt doubles (likely due to the inclusion of non-practical techniques), much of it was very good, with the sword-work of Jessica Henwick being the absolute best part, followed by the battle with Zhou Cheng as a close second.

Now back to The Man in the High Castle...

Even more movie...let's go!

The Sting - (1973) - B+
--> Heist/con movie starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford. A little dated in places, but great fun.

Ice Age: Continental Drift - (2012) - C
--> Man, they should've ended this franchise after the second or third movie. They're making the same movie over and over again. Highlight is Peter Dinklage as Captain Gutt!

Take Shelter - (2011) - A
--> Tremendous performance by Michael Shannon in this psychological thriller. You can see his mind unravel. Recommended.

Garden State - (2004) - B+
--> A bit of a simplistic, quirky feel-good movie.

Transsiberian - (2008) - A-
--> Wow, what a thriller! The buildup, and the "things can't possible get any worse - damn, they just did!" feeling is excellent.

Her - (2013) - B-
--> Great concept, but feels like they could've done much more. No idea what though, but towards the end it felt a bit boring watching Joaquin Phoenix just sit around and talk.

Secretary - (2002) - B+
--> Damn, Maggie Gyllenhaal is sexy in some of these scenes. The tension is nicely done.

Selma - (2014) - A
--> Must-see historical drama regarding the Selma protests led by Martin Luther King.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier - (2014) - B
--> I remember finding it quite alright, but now that I'm trying to write about it (maybe 2 weeks later), I can't seem to remember what the plot was about...I think that's an issue with these Marvel movies, most of them feel very similar to one another.

Mr. Turner - (2014) - A+
--> Excellent biopic about the 19th century painter J. M. W. Turner. Engrossing characters, great decors and wonderful landscapes throughout.

Kingsman: The Secret Service - (2014) - B+
--> Spy comedy, sort of similar to Johnny English or Austin Powers. Quite graphic in its violence at times, but good fun.

More movies of the past month.

Noah - (2014) - C
--> The story didn't really work for me.

Angels & Demons - (2009) - B
--> These Robert Langdon film adaptations are always a fun watch.

The Secret of My Success - (1987) - B-
--> Oh man, the 1980ies feel like a hundred years ago. The clothes, the hair, the music...so wrong it becomes "right" again.

Mean Streets - (1973) - C
--> This supposedly is the breakthrough movie that launched Scorsese's career. But to me, it's so boring, the dialog is hard to understand, the story goes nowhere and the movie is just altogether...boring. It's just a bunch of maffiosi going "Hey! You looking at me?" ...and then they start fighting. Repeat this x10 and you have the plot of the movie.

L.A. Confidential - (1997) - A
--> Second time I've seen this movie. Excellent story, great suspense, great actors.

Blue Jasmine - (2013) - A+
--> I did not see "A Streetcar Named Desire", on which Allen based this movie, but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. An incredible performance by Cate Blanchett.

Moonrise Kingdom - (2012) - A
--> Note to self: watch all of Wes Anderson's movies.

Holy Motors - (2012) - B-
--> I can see what they were trying to accomplish, but the movie doesn't quite get there (for me), and remains partially stuck in just a "weirdness" place.

Far from Heaven - (2002) - A-
--> Great movie with Julianne Moore and Dennis Quaid. They are stuck in a semi-loveless marriage in the 1950ies. From the outside, everything is perfect, but look a little further, and things become more abiguous.

The Remains of the Day - (1993) - A+
--> The tension between Anthony Hopkins' and Emma Thompson's characters is excellent.

The Grand Seduction - (2013) - B-
--> Good hearted comedy movie about a small harbor community trying to welcome in a new character.

I really need to do another post - have watched a ton of movies over the past month.

Zero Dark Thirty - (2012) - A
--> Fantastic movie about the decade-long hunt for Osama Bin Laden.

Romeo + Juliet - (1996) - C-
--> This movie received good reviews, and has good actors playing in it, but I didn't like it. I think they tried to force the "modern" theme into the traditional Shakespear story (also retaining the original dialogue) but it feels forced. A lot of the minor characters are cardboard buffoons. I'm surprised how Claire Danes looked like a different person altogether. Leo looks exactly as he does now, only younger.

Spy - (2015) - B+
--> Good-hearted British spy-comedy film, following the tradition of Austin Powers, Johnny English, etc...

Apollo 13 - (1995) - B
--> Perhaps a little too moralizing, but a great docudrama about the Apollo 13 space mission.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - (2015) - A-
--> Just like Spy, only a little bit more serious, and with better action sequences. I can't believe this movie didn't do well at the box office. In my opinion it deserves a sequel.

The Sugarland Express - (1974) - B+
--> It takes a very good actor to be able to play someone so dumb, so convincingly.

A Simple Life - (2011) - A+
--> Magnificent movie, a must-watch.

Robin Hood - (1973) - B
--> Definitely not the best Disney movie, however it has enough moments that made me smile, especially towards the end.

The Horse Whisperer - (1998) - B+
--> Somehow I had never seen this one, even though they seem to show it once every couple of months at least, on the various "women" channels we have. It's a long movie, probably a bit too long, but rewarding in the end. The story is quite predictable though.

Rescue Dawn - (2006) - A-
--> Excellent performance by Christian Bale. An incredible story.

Risky Business - (1983) - C+
--> Very similar in style and theme to The Secret of My Success. I can only conclude that these 80ies comedies haven't aged well at all.

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation - (2015) - B+
--> Jus as good as a Ghost Protocol, if not better.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on June 04, 2017, 06:38:14 PM
I'm a bit behind on my movie log. Here goes..

Source Code - (2011) - B+
--> Seriously cool movie, interesting concept. It's similar to Memento's way of repeating itself. Great watch.

Like Father, like Son - (2013) - A
--> Japanese film about a family who discovers their son was switched with another baby at birth. Excellent movie, with a powerful message.

Drive - (2011) - A-
--> Second viewing. Ryan Gosling is brooding the entire film. The opening sequence alone makes it worth the watch.

Timbuktu - (2014) - A-
--> A must view in my opinion, because it shows the influence of Islamist extremism in an atypical (i.e. non-Western) environment.

Zootropolis - (2016) - B+
--> I just discovered on wikipedia that this movie's original title is Zootopia. Honestly, I didn't really know what to expect. I picked up the Blu-ray a couple weeks ago, despite never even realizing this had come out in the cinema. As I'm looking at the wikipedia page, I see it was a huge box office hit. After watching the movie, I'm not surprised. The story is fun and fairly original, the characters interesting and the animation excellent.

Ocean's Twelve - (2004) - B
--> Great movie if you just want to enjoy some mindless action from a splendid ensemble cast. This is probably the third or fourth time I've watched it. Somehow, it doesn't get boring.

The Player - (1992) - B+
--> A Robert Altman movie. I think from his other movies, I've only seen Gosford Park, which is a great movie. This kind of movie could never be made today. It's about Hollywood itself, in fact, probably about a Hollywood that doesn't exist anymore. It's a shame, as I think there's room for "intelligent" movies such as this, to stand alongside all the action a superhero movies.

Mad Max - (1979) - D
--> Probably my most controversial rating of this post, but I couldn't connect with the movie at all. The villains are so cartoony and stupid, including their outfits, that it makes the entire movie a joke. Some of the car scenes are also quite unrealistic; all of this breaking my immersion all the time. A lot if it just looks like...bad acting to me. It's so bad, I was wondering whether that was the point of the director: to make a movie that's so bad it becomes good again. But I don't think that's the case, which just means it ends up being weird. I know it's a cult classic nowdays, probably because it was one of the first big Australian movies to be made, with a lot of (now) classic cars, etc... But for me, who never saw the movie until now and hasn't developed any nostalgia for it, it's just simly a bad movie.

Calvary - (2014) - B
--> A dark comedy, about an Irish priest trying to find himself in his community during a week. A typical film festival type of movie, although I do watch quite a lot of those (Like Father, Like Son, Timbuktu).

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome - (2013) - C
--> I'm reading on wikipedia this was actually a miniseries, but I saw it as a movie. You can tell this was made on a limited budget, but the (unknown) cast does a reasonable job given the questionable material at hand.

Nightcrawler - (2014) - A
--> Outstanding movie about a very innovative subject. Jake Gyllenhaal's performance is this a milestone in his career. He nails the sociopath/psycho vibe.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on July 18, 2017, 08:51:31 PM
It's been ages since my last post. I'll probably have to do two posts in a row.

The Good Lie - (2014) - B
--> Gripping movie about Sudanese refugees coping with their new existence in the US. We learn about their past as well.

The Big Kahuna - (1999) - B+
--> Three guys sit in a hotel room and argue. Nearly the entire movie is dialogue. Great performances by Kevin Spacey and Danny DeVito. I don't think this kind of movie would be allowed to get made in 2017.

The Da Vinci Code - (2006) - B-
--> Not the best movie ever made, but always an enjoyable and relaxing watch. It's...interesting to see how this movie holds a really bad score on rotten tomatoes. The plot might not be very believable, but as a movie, it works.

Pokémon movie 16 & 17 - (2013 & 2014) - F
--> I randomly stumbled upon these two movies, being played on a cartoon TV channel during a weekend. As these are only 70-75min long "movies", they're a very quick watch. Genesect and the Legend Awakened and Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction are the specific titles. To be honest, they're really bad movies, and I found myself losing interest quickly, despite the short play time of both. The plots do not make a lot of sense, and the pacing somehow feels wrong. The regular Pokémon anime episodes are much better than this stuff.

Hot Fuzz - (2007) - B
--> Silly but well executed action comedy about cops in the UK.

Frequency - (2000) - C+
--> Decent movie, but the plot loses credibility after too many illogical plottwists.

Jack and Sarah - (1995) - B
--> Feelgood style romcom of the mid 90ies starring Richard E. Grant. Judi Dench and Ian McKellen play supporting roles. Overall good acting. There are a lot worse romcoms out there.

Argo - (2012) - A
--> Great from beginning to end, with an interesting story and characters you care about.

Hot Shots! Part Deux - (1993) - C
--> Good for a quick laugh, but I prefer other comedies over this one.

Stardust - (2007) - B
--> I've seen this one before. Robert De Niro plays a funny role here.

Northanger Abbey - (2007) - A-
--> Excellent costume drama with good performances by all actors.

Insomnia - (2002) - B
--> A fairly straightforward thriller which, in my opinion, doesn't match Christopher Nolan's better movies such as Memento, Inception or Interstellar.

Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on July 22, 2017, 07:09:00 PM
The Man with the Golden Gun - (1974) - C+
--> The Roger Moore era was probably the cheesiest in Bond movies. Christopher Lee is a highlight as Scaramanga.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - (2014) - C
--> Much worse than the original "Amazing Spider-Man" movie. This movie suffers from way too many rediculous subplots and characters.

Jerry Maguire - (1996) - B+
--> Excellent movie and something a bit different from the typical Cruise fare. Although the "from zero to hero" story is still there, come to think of it. There's a hilarious bit written by Roger Ebert in his review of Days of Thunder, where he basically sums up the ingredients that make up every Tom Cruise movie (at that time), pointing out that they're more or less all the same. It's hilarious, I recommend checking it out. Jerry Maguire, too. It's a good movie.

Swingers - (1996) - A-
--> Very similar to The Big Kahuna, in that this movie is very heavy on the dialogue, with "nothing" going on (which is the point of the movie). I love these type of movies, which are a thing of the past, except maybe for small indie movies. I wonder if today's generation of teenagers could sit through this movie without checking their smartphone every 2 minutes. Great watch if you can, I highly recommend it.

Sliding Doors - (1998) - B-
--> This is effectively just another romcom that relies on a gimmick to tell the usual story with a bit of a twist. The basic story isn't the strongest in the genre, but the genuine performance by Gwyneth Paltrow raise the movie above the mediocre.

Manhattan - (1979) - B
--> Woody Allen plays...his neurotic self again. The movie is in black & white and has music by Gershwin, which gives a great atmosphere. On the other hand, this feels too much like a rehash of Annie Hall, with the same actors no less.

Tropic Thunder - (2008) - B
--> Wow, I can't believe this movie is 9 years old already. Fun stuff. Robert Downey Jr.'s character steals every scene he's in.

Inside Man - (2006) - B+
--> Interesting version of the bank heist story. Some interesting plot points. Nearly every role in this movie is played by a big time actor. Denzel is his usual self, with Jodie Foster and Clive Owen delivering standout performances.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - (1988) - B+
--> Classic comedy starring Steve Martin and Michael Caine. Great stuff.

Billy Elliot - (2000) - A
--> Fantastic "against all odds" type of story about a boy with a working class background with a talent for ballet.

Coco avant Chanel - (2009) - A-
--> Excellent semi-biographical movie about the early life of Coco Chanel.

Snow White and the Huntsman - (2012) - B-
--> Good movie, mostly held together by Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron, however I didn't like Kristen Stewart's performance as Snow White. She's so passive in most scenes, with the same facial expression throughout. She also doesn't look like the actress that portrays the "young" Snow White, who is far more beautiful, and shows more expressions during the first 5 minutes than Kristen Stewart does during the rest of the movie.

Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on August 16, 2017, 06:34:00 PM
From Russia with Love - (1963) - B
--> I think I prefer the Sean Connery Bond movies over the Roger Moore ones. Especially towards the end of the Moore era, the films no longer take themselves even the slightest bit seriously, which hurts them overall, in my opinion.

Café de Flore - (2011) - B+
--> Touching drama about a mother and her Down syndrome son, alongside an unrelated story set in modern day Canada. This could've been a lot better had there been some incredible revelation at the end, but there wasn't.

Rock the Casbah - (2013) - A
--> Terrific movie about three Morrocon women whose father dies. They all get together in the family home, and quite soon a lot of old feuds and annoyances rear their ugly head...

About Time - (2013) - B+
--> British romcom about a young man who learns that all men in his family can travel back in time. The film seperates itself from the typical romcom tripe by a heartfelt story and some terrific performances, especially by Bill Nighy.

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby - (2006) - C+
--> So good it's bad...but it's still pretty bad. I know this entire movie is a tounge-in-cheeck, laughing-at-ourselves type of movie, but it's still kind of a bad movie in my opinion.

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - (2015) - B-
--> The movie stalls in some moments and the character of Sonny is simply annoying. Other than that, some good laughs to be had, plus there's a whole bunch of great british actors playing.

Dangerous Liaisons - (1988) - A
--> Splendid movie. I love costume dramas, and this is one of the best. The performances by Glenn Close, John Malkovich and Michelle Pfeiffer are equally impressive. I also enjoyed seeing a younger Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves, both playing innocent roles, quite different from the roles they became big stars through.

Ocean's Thirteen - (2007) - B+
--> The trilogy is Ocean's movie might just be one of my favorite "perfect movie to enjoy without having to pay too much attention". The colors in this one are vibrant, and the music is great as usual.

Le Gendarme de Saint-Tropez - (1964) - B+
--> This is the first movie in which Louis de Funès plays Cruchot, a local gendarme chef in Saint-Tropez (France). He and his troops end up in a series of comical situations, despite good intentions. You have to understand French to grab the subtle nuances of some of the jokes though.

The Farewell Party - (2014) - A-
--> Israeli dark comedy about a group of elders helping others perform euthanasia, because doctors refuse to help. It might sound somewhat macabre, but the movie is very funny.

Le gendarme à New York - (1965) - B+
--> Sequel to the Gendarme à Saint-Tropez. In this one, the group goes to New York, for an international police conference. More gags follow. Also, vintage 1965 New York can be seen in a lot of scenes.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on August 22, 2017, 08:28:59 PM
I've been watching nearly one movie per day for the past couple of weeks, so I have to keep up with my posts. Here goes...

The Jane Austen Book Club - (2007) - C+
--> A rather tepid romcom movie. It has its moments, but the overall story is quite predictable. I would recommend to read Jane Austen's books before watching (it's only 6 books, so not a big deal), as there are obviously a ton of references during the book club scenes.

Miller's Crossing - (1990) - B+
--> Solid movie, very much a throwback to the old noir thrillers of the 1940's. Expect a lot of gangsters, old buildings, staircases and a plot too complex for its own good. A movie fan's movie.

Red Eye - (2005) - B-
--> A bit of a weird thriller. It feels oddly low budget in places, especially the end, where it almost feels as if they ran out of money and then just quickly did the final few scenes. The motives of the movie's villain aren't well defined, which makes the entire plot feel just a bit off.

Le gendarme se marie - (1968) - B+
--> Third movie in the "gendarme" series. In this movie, Cruchot gets married. More gags ensue.

Mommy - (2014) - A+
--> Incredible movie. Simply amazing. Strong performances and a gripping story that will stick with you for a long time.

Sideways - (2004) - A
--> Fantastic film. While I was watching it, I thought it was a movie ten years older than it actually is, but in a good way. It reminded me of movies such as Swingers and The Big Kahuna, which are movies of the 1990's. It manages to be very heavy in dialogue, yet at the same have a lot of "action" scenes as well. The story is well written and the main character's arch is well executed.

A Perfect Plan - (2012) - C-
--> This romcom is formalaic in nature and lacks chemistry between the two leads to be convincing.

Sleep Tight - (2011) - B+
--> Very creepy thriller centered around the movements of an apartement concierge in a building in Spain.

All Is Lost - (2013) - A
--> This movie is unlike any other I've seen. The entire movie shows Robert Redford struggling with his boat after a collision with a shipping container. Redford's performance is incredible, given his age and the fact that there is almost no dialogue in the entire movie.

Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot - (1953) - C
--> Buster Keaton style "series of gags" movie with barely any plot to speak of. It's supposedly a milestone in French cinema, but it feels very dated today.

Mademoiselle Chambon - (2009) - B+
--> This film poses an interesting moral dilemma for the main character. There are several great scenes in which hardly a word is being said.

Taking a break from bad movies (a la, MST3K) for a good one, that being The Hound of the Baskervilles (the Basil Rathbone version).  Excellent movie, and I feel inclined to watch several more of the Rathbone flicks.  Not all fourteen, but certainly two or three.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - (1969) - B+
--> Great chemistry between Newman and Redford. I also enjoyed the many vistas that were beautifully shot. The plot slowns down quite a bit towards the end though.

What We Did on Our Holiday - (2014) - B+
--> An interesting story, with a nice ending. Very enjoyable.

Strictly Ballroom - (1992) - B
--> Luhrmann went for an over-the-top style, with most of the characters being caricatures, especially the mother and the head of the jury. Enjoyable, although a bit predictable.

The Way - (2010) - B-
--> Good movie about a father tracing the footsteps of his son (and going beyond) on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Unfortunately, due to the BBC not sticking to its programming schedule, my recording cut off before the end of the film. I think I missed the last 10 minutes or so.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes - (2011) - B
--> For some reason I'm not that interesting in the Planet of the Apes series, but this movie wasn't bad. Andy Serkis stands out as Caesar.

Philomena - (2013) - A-
--> Touching movie about an Irish woman on a quest for her long-lost son. Great performance by Judi Dench.

The Green Butchers - (2003) - B
--> Odd movie about two people opening up a new butcher shop.

Henry V - (1989) - B-
--> I read on wikipedia that this movie is considered one of the best Shakespeare adaptations ever made. The two speeches by Branagh were obviously well-acted, but in general the movie feels a bit forced and distant. Maybe I'm not familiar enough with Shakespeare's work, but the dialogue (which appears taken straight from the play) feels very dated and stiff.

The Lord of the Rings (film series) - (2001 - 2003) - A+
--> One of my favorite film series ever. I try to watch them every couple of years. It was a welcome revisit, as I hadn't seen them in about 3 years.

Blow Out - 1981) - A-
--> Clearly a film-lovers film. The plot is captivating and well-acted, but what stood out to me were all the recording/editing scenes by Travolta's character. It is clear that Brian De Palma spent a lot of time capturing these moments.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on October 14, 2017, 07:17:23 PM
Muriel's Wedding - (1994) - B
--> A comedy about an awkward girl who dreams of marriage. Entertaining movie.

Far from the Madding Crowd - (2015) - B+
--> Another adaptation of Thomas Hardy's book. Carey Mulligan seems to play the same type of character in every movie I've seen her in.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial - (1982) - C-
--> Somehow I never saw this movie until now. I realize it was groundbreaking back in the day, but I find it aged terribly. Even though it's less than 2 hours long, it felt at least 30 minutes too long. The opening scenes are incredibly tedious. I would have to check, but it feels as if there are 15 minutes worth of steam/mist & flashlights in the forest scenes. The kids also scream in every scene. Is this normal behaviour?

Presumed Innocent - (1990) - A-
--> Excellent courtroom drama. Riveting performance by Harrison Ford. I did not see the ending coming.

50/50 - (2011) - B-
--> Feelgood comedic drama that does its job without surprising.

Scent of a Woman - (1992) - A
--> Truly an outstanding performance by Al Pacino and fully deserving of the Best Actor oscar he won.

The Martian - (2015) - A-
--> Excellent space movie. Although the realism of some scenes, especially towards the end, could be doubted, this nevertheless is the most realistic space movie I have seen so far. I would say Interstellar and Gravity are, in that order, more thrilling than this movie, but The Martian manages to carve out its own niche in the genre.

The Lunchbox - (2013) - B+
--> Charming Indian movie about the curious habit in Mumbai to deliver home-cooked meals to office workers.

Little Voice - (1998) - B
--> The pacing of the plot could have been executed better, but otherwise an good movie, with Jane Horrocks stealing the show.

Mud - (2012) - A-
--> A terrific movie about a man running from the law.

The Rookie - (2002) - B
--> Predictable from start to finish, however Dennis Quaid's honest performance makes it work.

Black Butterflies - (2011) - B+
--> A young South-African poet has a troubled life.

Spectre - (2015) - B+
--> Perhaps my second favorite Bond movie in the Craig era. I enjoyed the spectacular fight scenes and the seemingly immortal assassin. The movie lacks truly tense scenes, however, which is why I find Casino Royale Craig's best film. Quantum of Solace felt trivial and unrealistic (as did many of the Brosnan films), whereas I found Skyfall's final fight sequence very un-Bond.

The Whistleblower - (2010) - B
--> a police officer gets transfered to work for the UN in Bosnia and discovers not all who work there are as morally sound as she is.

Mad Max - (1979) - D
--> Probably my most controversial rating of this post, but I couldn't connect with the movie at all. The villains are so cartoony and stupid, including their outfits, that it makes the entire movie a joke. Some of the car scenes are also quite unrealistic; all of this breaking my immersion all the time. A lot if it just looks like...bad acting to me. It's so bad, I was wondering whether that was the point of the director: to make a movie that's so bad it becomes good again.

But for me, who never saw the movie until now and hasn't developed any nostalgia for it, it's just simly a bad movie.



I also didn't like it at all, yet I went to see Fury Road and loved it. Twice. And I couldn't finish the original film. Not saying you feel or would feel the same way.
Kind of interesting on my part, one reason I may not like Mad Max is I don't care for Gibson much either. He is literally one of if not the only actor besides maybe ones a lot of people think suck anyway (like the people from Twilight) that I can't seem to enjoy his acting. I respect Braveheart though. And I don't know why I feel this way about him, it has nothing to do with any off the screen stuff he has done with his religion or anything like that. When I think of Lethal Weapon I think more of Danny Glover even.

So really, I feel the same way you do. Its been a while since I tried it, but I don't think I'd feel any different.

It's just one of those things you/I can't really explain why we don't like something or someone and thats how it is with the original Mad Max series and Gibson for me.

Haven't posted in this thread for months. The majority of the following movies I saw back in 2017.

Delicatessen - (1991) - B+
--> Very strange movie. It has a post-apocalyptic, dystopian feel.

The Hateful Eight - (2015) - A
--> Loved it. Only Tarantino makes these narrative-driven, tense movies. Samuel L. Jackson steals the movie with his performance.

Bright Days Ahead - (2013) - B
--> Interesting French romantic drama. Worth the watch.

Moonstruck - (1987) - B+
--> Cher and Nicolas Cage in a interesting romantic comedy. Their relationship is not conventional - but things end with a happy ending.

Tomorrowland - (2015) - C+
--> Fantastic visuals and start of a story. Ruined at the end with Hollywood's condescending left-wing morale towards the end. Why do they feel the need to suddenly make the movie political? Still worth the watch though.

Possession - (2002) - B
--> Quite predictable in parts, but overall decent romcom.

Lone Survivor - (2013) - A-
--> Really tense and realistic (well, looks realistic to me, but I'm not an expert) movie about a Seal team dropped into hostile territory in Afghanistan.

Avengers: Age of Ultron - (2015) - B-
--> Another Avengers movie. My issue with the majority of these Marvel movies is that they're quite interchangeable. I saw this movie about 2 months ago, and I can't remember the plot anymore... I think I remember they tried to force too many characters into the movie.

X-Men - (2000) - B
--> Better than Age of Ultron because there are less characters and the story is more focused.

Jimmy's Hall - (2014) - B+
--> Good period drama, but it plays things safe, story-wise, which keeps it from being more memorable.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - (2005) - A-
--> Robert Downey Jr. before Iron Man. Fun story and good chemistry between Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer make this a very enjoyable movie.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on February 11, 2018, 01:36:37 PM
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - (2014) - B+
--> More of the same, but well-acted and an interesting story.

X2 - (2003) - B
--> So this movie is (nearly) 15 years old? Wow.

John Carter - (2012) - B
--> It's a shame this movie didn't do well and the trilogy was cancelled. This is just as good (or bad) as most other superhero-esque movies out there. My only critique would be that the villain is very one-dimensional.

Fill the Void - (2012) - A-
--> A poignant view into the world of an ultra-Orthodox family in Israel, going through some difficult times.

Black Swan - (2010) - A+
--> Incredible performance by Nathalie Portman, which deservedly won Best Actress Oscar.

The Lobster - (2015) - A-
--> This one won't be for everyone, it's an acquired taste, i.e. a "film fan" film. I don't want to spoil the plot, but it's a completely absurd comedy.

X-Men: The Last Stand - (2006) - B
--> More X-Men!

The Painted Veil - (2006) - B+
--> A historical romantic movie in the classic style. Very enjoyable, but not breaking any new ground either.

Ran - (1985) - A
--> A masterpiece by Akira Kurosawa. I wonder how it would hold up with a modern audience though. Some scenes are very drawn out and feel dated.

Cinderella - (2015) - B+
--> Quite a safe and predictable rendition of the old tale, with stunning visuals. Cate Blanchett steals every scene she's in.

Doctor Strange - (2016) - B+
--> Clearly a cut above the typical Marvel movie. A fine performance by Benedict Cumberbatch coupled with interesting locations and a good plot make this one stand out above the rest.

Mad Max - (1979) - D
--> Probably my most controversial rating of this post, but I couldn't connect with the movie at all. The villains are so cartoony and stupid, including their outfits, that it makes the entire movie a joke. Some of the car scenes are also quite unrealistic; all of this breaking my immersion all the time. A lot if it just looks like...bad acting to me. It's so bad, I was wondering whether that was the point of the director: to make a movie that's so bad it becomes good again. But I don't think that's the case, which just means it ends up being weird. I know it's a cult classic nowdays, probably because it was one of the first big Australian movies to be made, with a lot of (now) classic cars, etc... But for me, who never saw the movie until now and hasn't developed any nostalgia for it, it's just simly a bad movie.



I also didn't like it at all, yet I went to see Fury Road and loved it. Twice. And I couldn't finish the original film. Not saying you feel or would feel the same way.
Kind of interesting on my part, one reason I may not like Mad Max is I don't care for Gibson much either. He is literally one of if not the only actor besides maybe ones a lot of people think suck anyway (like the people from Twilight) that I can't seem to enjoy his acting. I respect Braveheart though. And I don't know why I feel this way about him, it has nothing to do with any off the screen stuff he has done with his religion or anything like that. When I think of Lethal Weapon I think more of Danny Glover even.

So really, I feel the same way you do. Its been a while since I tried it, but I don't think I'd feel any different.

It's just one of those things you/I can't really explain why we don't like something or someone and thats how it is with the original Mad Max series and Gibson for me.

Maybe you just had to see them in order, lol.  I grew up watching the original (American English dub, not the original) and I love the movie.  It's probably king of the "car" movies from the 70's (where the cars are meant to be active characters), and features some great performances from a lot of (still) working actors.  It is a little hard to understand at times, likely due to the sheer amount of native Australian slang present, even in the American English dub, that has no context or any explanation, although there is a DVD version that has all this explained.  These days the movie is sometimes ignored, but that is likely due to the unpopularity of Mel Gibson, I think.  I still regard the scene when Max see's the new Pursuit Special akin to Luke receiving his lightsaber from Obi Wan Kenobi in Star Wars.

Oh well.  I think I understand why you guys don't like the first Mad Max (even though I really don't).  I get why Seven Samurai is so highly though of, but not Citizen Kane.  Also, I don't understand why a derivative waste bin like Altered Carbon is so popular.  C'est la vie, I guess.

Oh, I am trying to get through Chang Cheh's Water Margin, but I keep falling asleep.  I might have to move on, especially since I heard Man in the High Castle is supposed to be pretty good.

Life is so busy, it'll be weeks at this rate before I see Black Panther.

I am currently watching Sukiyaki Western Django.  The plot is a little like Yojimbo, but fictionalizes and Japanese Genpei War (Heike vs Genji), but sets it in the Old West of America (Nevada to be precise) if it were populated with English speaking Japanese people.  Strange, I know, but that is the movie.  I think the crowning achievement of the film is the script:  It is entirely in English (mostly done in the style of your generic American Western), but the entire cast (save Quentin Tarantino) is native-speaking Japanese, most if not all not skilled in speaking English (or at least as a person in a Western movie would).  What this translates to is (clearly) people memorizing what their English coaches are teaching them, but in a very Japanese way.  You WILL need subtitles the first time.  It is definitely a charming and a bit of a novelty, but it is not for everyone.  The acting is very over the top (Gary Oldman-style) and you will likely need subtitles to help.  Suffice to say I can't stay away from this movie for too long, and I like to watch it once a year.  Too bad it isn't streaming anymore.

The Thomas Crown Affair - (1999) - B+
--> Entertaining heist movie starring Pierce Brosnan.

Angels & Demons - (2009) - B-
--> More of the same (The Da Vinci Code). The best parts are when Langdon is "analyzing" a scene for clues, using all his knowledge of arcane and obscure historical or religious facts.

The Illusionist - (2006) - B
--> Entertaining movie, similar in genre to "The Prestige". I wish the ending/mystery was more elaborate than it is, but there you go.

Home Alone - (1990) & Home Alone 2: Lost in New York - (1992) - A-
--> Ultimate christmas feelgood movies. I tend to watch these every year.

The Lego Movie - (2014) - B+
--> Not quite reaching the heights of the usual Pixar movies (with the exception of Cars 2), but more than entertaining. Seeing LEGO come to live is the best part. The theme song is annoying.

Sherlock Holmes - (2009) - B
--> Wait, this movie is 9 years old ?!?

The Miniaturist - (2017) - A+
--> Technically not a movie, but a two-part television series. Superb performances by the entire cast, very mysterious atmosphere throughout, and setting / costumes to die for.

The Imitation Game - (2014) - B+
--> Historical drama based on Alan Turing's life, especially around the creation of his Enigma-breaking machine.

Moana - (2016) - A
--> Great animated movie. So well in fact, one would think Pixar made it. From the creators of Frozen.

The Cider House Rules - (1999) - B+
--> A movie that feels older than it is. Classic pacing & storytelling. Starring Tobey Maguire and Charlize Theron.

Lore - (2012) - B
--> Gripping realistic drama about children of a Nazi father during the aftermath of WWII. The children are sometimes annoying, which takes away a bit of the movie.

Bridge of Spies - (2015) - B+
--> Classic-style historical thriller starring Tom Hanks directed by Steven Spielberg.

Whiplash - (2014) - A+
--> Spellbinding movie about a jazz drums student and his ferocious teacher. Incredible performances by both - one of the best movies I've seen in at least a year.

Pop Aye - (2017) - B+
--> Charming Thai movie about a man experiencing a midlife crisis, which sparks a roadtrip with his childhood elephant.

Midnight Express - (1978) - A-
--> A striking portrayal of brutality in a Turkish prison in the 1970ies, based on a true story of a US man who spent 3 years imprisoned in Turkey for smuggling drugs.

The Revenant - (2015) - A
--> The kind of movie where you constantly ask the question "can things get any worse?" and then they do. Terrific performance by DiCaprio. He should've gotten his Oscar years before already, though, for The Aviator, Gangs of New York or maybe even The Departed.

The Bourne Ultimatum - (2007) - B
--> More of the same, however still a great performance by Matt Damon.

Jurassic World - (2015) - C-
--> Couldn't really connect with the movie. I felt like it relied too much on special effects and film tropes to tell the story.

Ida - (2013) - B+
--> Black and white Polish roadmovie about a young woman who meets up with her aunt to explore her family's past.

Eddie the Eagle - (2016) - B-
--> Silly biographical movie about a man from the UK who went to the Olympics for ski jumping.

The Railway Man - (2012) - A
--> Well made historical drama depicting a British officer's capture during WWII and subsequent time in a Japanese POW camp, building a railway.

Finding Dory - (2016) - A-
--> Not quite reaching the height of Pixar's best work, Finding Dory is surprisingly good. The story really pulls together towards the latter half of the movie, with a powerful ending that I didn't expect at first.

Blades of Glory - (2007) - C+
--> If Eddie the Eagle is riding the "too silly to be believable" line, this move goes well and truly over it. Absolutely rediculous, but then again that's clearly the intent.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on May 20, 2018, 06:27:31 AM
I need to catch back up with the movies I've already seen. Here goes...

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - (2016) - B+
--> I like how this movie doesn't try to simply copy the entire Harry Potter style/feel, even though it draws many elements from it. It has its own quirky charm, which is a good thing. The worst thing they could have done would have been to recreate a "schoolkids in an elite school for magic" vibe, with the only difference being the country.

Love Is All You Need - (2012) - B
--> A small arthouse film. Danish production starring Pierce Brosnan. The setup of the movie is somewhat unbelievable, but a lot of romcoms in the "unexpected encounter" subgenre are.

A Most Violent Year - (2014) - A
--> Powerful and convincing performances by Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain. Terrific movie. A must watch.

Guardians of the Galaxy - (2014) - B
--> In one way it's more of the same Marvel drab, in another it takes itself less serious than the Captain America/Iron Man movies, which I appreciate. The story is fairly lousy but that's clearly not the focus of the movie.

Young Frankenstein - (1974) - B+
--> The type of movie that probably wouldn't get made anymore today. Very slapstick with silly jokes and gags. Gene Wilder and Party Feldman are funny in every scene that they're in.

Gone in 60 Seconds - (2000) - C-
--> Feels dated. Not sure whether that's because I saw it back in the day, or not.

From Paris with Love - (2010) - D
--> This has a decidedly B-film feel to it. It's a cookie cutter action movie with a daft plot.

Closer - (2004) B-
--> Some strong performances, but a couple scenes are so over-the-top that it broke my immersion somewhat.

Under the Skin - (2013) - A-
--> Remarkable film starring Scarlett Johansson as a man-trapping machine(?). The visuals are stunning, the atmosphere is haunting. There is barely any dialogue.

Hercules - (2014) - C+
--> Just ok, but nothing much to write about. Dwayne Johnson plays himself, mostly.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens - (2015) - B+
--> So I was probably the person on earth not to have seen The Force Awakens yet. What did I think of it? Uhm, it was okay I guess? The visuals and effects are stunning. Some of the flight sequences are amazing. But the story is only so-so. Maybe I'm just dreaming, but it feels like they made a remake of the original Star Wars movie. I wasn't exactly blown away, or surprised by something crazy.

Post by: Sirgin on June 09, 2018, 07:13:47 PM
Layer Cake - (2004) - B
--> Quirky odd action movie starring Daniel Craig. Interesting to see the pre-Bond Craig. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously, which is a good thing.

The Brothers Grimm - (2005) - B-
--> I think I was about 15 minutes into this movie until I realized I was watching the late Heath Ledger. Time flies. He's been dead for over 10 years. As far as this movie goes, it's just about "ok", however the visual effects really haven't held up too well.

Ghost in the Shell - (1995) - A
--> The atmosphere in some of the scenes is still top-notch. It really is all in the music, the static scenes, the bravado of the director to dare to let shots linger than usual. Then realizing this inspired a whole generation of movies, including The Matrix, this truly is a masterpiece that was 10 years ahead of its time.

The Big Wedding - (2013) - C-
--> Typical chick flick romcom stuff. Some good actors in this, but it doesn't manage to elevate itself beyond the typical genre fare.

Mrs. Winterbourne - (1996) - C+
--> More of the same, right after The Big Wedding. This movie has more charm and feels less generic. Some of the scenes feel a bit forced. Brendan Fraser before The Mummy is akin to Craig before Bond.

Last Knights - (2015) - B-
--> This is some pretty trippy plot & seemingly random group of actors. Why does Clive Owen have this "psychopath" vibe in some of his scenes? Maybe some would call it "intensity", I'm not sure. I noticed the same in Closer.

Im Labyrinth des Schweigens - (2014) - A-
--> Great psychological drama about Nazi denial in post-war Germany.

The Grand Budapest Hotel - (2014) - A+
--> So stylistic, so enthralling. Wes Anderson has mastered his craft. Already saw this, but once I stumbled on it, I couldn't look away.

Toy Story - (1995) - A++
--> The start of a genre!

Truman - (2015) - B+
--> Touching comedy drama about when life's days are numbered.

Cleopatra - (1963) - B-
--> Not a bad movie, but man oh man, did they really have to make this 248 minutes long?!? With some movies you feel they could have been improved had the editor shaved off 10-15 minutes. With this one, they could have easily cut 60-80 minutes and probably end up with a better movie. I watched it in about 3 sittings, which says enough.

Kong: Skull Island 2/5
Thought it was decently entertaining while watching, but I had zero expecations and I've already forgotten everything about it.

Ghost in the Shell (2017) 1/5
I was mostly angry the whole time at how they took so many iconic elements from all the original stories and just mashed them together to rip off Robocop. It's no Super Mario Bros but it's been a long time since I saw someone misunderstand the original material this badly.

Blade Runner 2049 3/5
Kept my interest throughout. I enjoyed it a lot more than the first one.

Alien: Covenant 2/5
Ridley Scott's films are always atmospheric and pretty but the script and characters usually start to fall apart before the end.

I really don't understand why people fawn over this movie.  The most interesting parts of the flick occur early on and the whole thing just craps out.  It kind of killed any further interest in the series (at least anything written by Scott).

I was watching the ProJared review on the original Final Fantasy, then thirteen year-old my son came downstairs and poured himself cereal.  Apparently he now has a mustache.  Now I am watching that.

I rather liked the GITS live-action movie. Yes, they took liberties with the story, but I felt like it was an interesting take on the ideas in the anime. Yes, I know the anime was based on a manga, but I've never read it, and have only seen the original anime adaptation. But I thought it was a good movie on its own merits.

I'm finally watching through The Office on Netflix. I never understood the show's appeal before, but now that I'm 5 seasons in, I'm really enjoying it. It's definitely a show you have to invest time into in order to get into the flow, and to become invested in the characters.

I'm probably way too in love with the 1995 movie to appreciate another artistic interpretation of it. But the way I see it, GitS usually operates like a crime thriller or TV police drama where they rarely focus on the main cast and their backstories. Instead they go all-in on the case at hand. Most of the time they're deliberately trying to keep the Section 9 members' origins a mystery, although the level of secrecy varies between all the different adaptations. But in everything I've seen, the mystery of the Major herself is always strictly off-limits. Until this movie, which is all about the one subject every previous adaption has taken great care to avoid.

Anyway, I probably shouldn't say too much more about the movie since I was neither sober nor paying close attention throughout most of it =) and granted I haven't seen Arise or read the second manga so maybe this is more reminiscent of those.

The Justice League.   Unlike the rest of the most recent DC films, I felt like multiple watches of the films has actually made Justice League less enjoyable for me.  Take Batman V. Superman; I'm about eleven watches in and I'm really starting to like it (wacky LL characterizations aside), but every time I watch Justice League I see more MCU film influence.  It felt like they tried to sandwich three movies into two hours is all.

I'll try watching it a couple more times and see if it gets any better.

Wow, haven't posted in here in ages - so here goes.

The Lone Ranger - (2013) - B-
--> This is an enjoyable action comedy. Not sure why it got so many bad reviews.

Chef - (2014) - B+
--> Road trip / midlife crisis movie about a chef who changes his life around. Good movie.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape - (1993) - A
--> Terrific drama, made in the traditional way. Excellent performances by Depp and DiCaprio.

Testament of Youth - (2014) - B+
--> Adaptation of the 1933 novel by Vera Brittain, poet & pacifist. The movie recalls the WWI period in which her friends all went to fight in the war & died.

Lawless - (2012) - B
--> Three brothers run a moonshine business in Virginia, trying to stay away from the law.

Easy Money - (2010) - B
--> Swedish movie about a young man who gets involved with the wrong crowd, trying to make, ahem, easy money. You can guess the rest.

Escape from Alcatraz - (1979) - A
--> These types of roles were just made for Clint Eastwood. The title says it all.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - (2011) - B-
--> Interesting spy movie, well made, but suffers from a needlessly complex plot. I think it could have been stronger with a more focussed story.

Steamboy - (2004) - A-
--> Love this anime movie. The drawing style in combination with the CGI works really well and is visually splendid.

Mr. Holmes - (2015) - B+
--> Ian McKellen plays an elder Sherlock Holmes, struggling with his failing memory, who is dragged out of retirement for a new case.

The Hundred-Foot Journey - (2014) - C
--> Family comedy film about an Indian family starting a restaurant in a rural French town.

Haven't posted here in months. Time to catch up with some of the movies I've seen in the meantime.

Avengers: Age of Ultron - (2015) - B-
--> Totally forgot the plot of this one already. Honestly, the majority of these Marvel movies are interchangeable.

Starbuck - (2011) - C
--> Typical "loser" comedy style movie with a predictable ending. Some good laughs here and there.

Thunderheart - (1992) - B
--> Not a bad movie about a detective venturing into Native American lands.

Made in Dagenham - (2010) - C
--> Fairly typical leftist, feminist propaganda movie. All the men are pigs and all the women are great nonsense. Sally Hawkins plays the lead role.

The Shape of Water - (2017) - B+
--> Sally Hawkins strikes again. Another "all men are pigs" feminist movie. That said, the movie is actually entertaining, and a good insight into women's hypergamous nature. Saw this one on a long flight.

Wonder Woman - (2017) - C
--> Another generic Marvel/DC/superhero movie. This time with more feminist propaganda thrown in! Women are amazing. I wonder who enjoyed watching all these masculine, agressive women...? Saw this one on the flight back.

Justice League - (2017) - C
--> This one I watched right after Wonder Woman, on that flight back home. Nothing much to say, really.

Florence Foster Jenkins - (2016) - B+
--> Comedy about an elderly woman who loves singing (opera), but can't sing to save her life. Good performances by Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant.

The Adventures of Tintin - (2011) - B
--> Not quite up there with Pixar but overall a good CGI movie.

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation - (2015) - A
--> Probably the 4th time I've seen this one and I'm still entertained. Excellent action movie.

The November Man - (2014) - B-
--> Not a bad action/thriller movie, but the tone is too serious/sad. I think it would have done a lot better with a little Bond flair thrown in.

Persuasion - (2007) - A-
--> Well-made and good costume drama. I'm annoyed with the DOP's decision to film a lot of it in "shaky camera" style. Why on earth is this necessary for a costume drama? This is not an action movie, use tripods please. Another movie starring Sally Hawkins. I have to say she aged a lot in 10 years time, going from a still believable 25-26 year old here to what she looks like in the Shape of Water.

Post by: Sirgin on March 02, 2019, 08:03:14 PM
Another set from the backlog, and then I'm more or less caught up.

Top Gun - (1986) - B
--> Classic! Some (or should I say a lot?) of the dialogue is terrible, though.

300 - (2006) - B
--> This is Sparta! Haha.

The Big Short - (2015) - A-
--> Dark comedy about events leading up to the 2007 financial crisis.

Birdman - (2014) - A-
--> Ambitious movie, trying to break new ground. Challenging to watch, even up to the point of being annoying: the restless pace of the movie, which is mostly one long scene, with a constant drumming soundtrack in the background means there are barely any moments of "rest". I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of viewers turn this off after 15 minutes.

Donnie Brasco - (1997) - B+
--> Solid gangster movie starring Al Pacino and Johnny Depp.

The Usual Suspects - (1995) - A
--> Kevin Spacey steals the show in this movie.

The BFG - (2016) - B+
--> Enjoyable family-friendly fantasy movie. Great visuals and several big laughs as well.

Spotlight - (2015) - A-
--> Traditional drama movie, about abuse in the Catholic Church in the US.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit - (1988) - B+
--> I cannot believe I had never seen this movie. Some parts feel a little dated (no wonder, as the movie is 30+ years old), but overall still a very special achievement.

Jackie - (2016) - B
--> A convincing performance by Nathalie Portman, portraying Jackie Kennedy in the events after the assassination of president Kennedy.

Home Alone - (1990) - A
--> Probably my 10th viewing; I see both Home Alone 1 and 2 at least once per year, usually around Christmas. Somehow they never get old.

Currently watching The Warriors on this lazy Saturday.

That sounds kinda depressing, what with them having lost the finals and all.

ANYway, I just recently finished a mini-marathon of all the "evil twin" episodes of Knight Rider.

KITT had KARR:

Is it me, or does KARR's voice sound a little like Optimus Prime? ;)



...and Michael had Garthe... and Goliath.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWKCtIHJW_w


And remember: don't barf on the Garthe!

BTW make sure your safe-search is on when you Google images of "KITT vs. KARR." That is, unless you're into hot Trans-Am-on-Trans-Am action... you sick weirdo.

Post by: Sirgin on July 13, 2019, 05:02:54 AM
Haven't posted movies on here in months. Actually, I also haven't watched that many movies this past year or so. Too busy with work...

Notting Hill - (1999) - B-
--> The classic with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. I'm not sure how this movie will hold up now we're 20 years past release.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire - (2001) - B
--> Amazingly, I have never seen this Disney movie before, despite remembering seeing merchandise for it back in the day when it came out. It's quite decent, but the plot is a little predictable. Not as good as Disney's best, for sure.

Ant-Man - (2015) - C+
--> It must be me, judging by the good reviews and box office, but this movie does nothing for me - as is the case with most of the superhero stuff. It all feels cookie cutter, rehashing the same type of movie 30 times (I'm probably not that far off with the MCU numbers). The "best" part is when they are small and everyday objects become huge set pieces.

La La Land - (2016) - C
--> What the hell do people see in this movie? It's not interesting at all, and Emma Stone isn't a good actress. Worst part is, the movie pretends to be about jazz, but there is no jazz in the movie! Or nothing that I'd consider to be jazz. It's a musical, with musical movie. All the songs are in the "musical" genre. What a joke. "City of stars" is a nice tune, though, and Gosling is a good actor.

Howards End - (1992) - B+
--> I forgot the plot, but this is a pretty good costume drama. I would rate it in the tier below movies such as Remains of the Day and Gosford Park.

Jack Reacher - (2012) - B+
--> As far as action movies go, this one is above average and Tom Cruise absolutely makes the movie.

Ronin - (1998) - B
--> Not a bad thriller, and the Blu-ray transfer of this looks excellent. The cars and tech in the movie lookswoefully outdated by now. I can only imagine what today's movies will look 20 years from now, considering they rely so much more on tech/effects.

The Long Kiss Goodnight - (1996) - C
--> Feels dated and has a weird plot.

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back - (2016) - B
--> Reacher again! The novelty is gone as compared to the first one, but still a good movie led by Tom Cruise.

Marguerite - (2015) - B
--> Costume drama about a wealthy eccentric women who thinks she can sing, but can't.

Clash of the Titans - (2010) - C+
--> Not nearly as good as it could have been. Feels too generic.

Pitch Perfect 2 - (2015) - B-
--> Sing, sing, sing!

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - (1986) - A
--> A true classic comedy!

Been ages since I posted on here. Have little backlog of movies - let's go.

Ronin - (1998) - B+
--> Great movie, been several times I've seen it now. Love the Audi A8 (or is it an S8?) they drive.

Our Little Sister - (2015) - A
--> Excellent Japanese drama film about 4 sisters living together.

Ocean's 11, 12, 13 - (2001, 2004, 2007) - A, B+, B
--> The first one is a classic, and the other 2 aren't bad either. I'd say 13 jumps the shark a little bit in certain scenes.

Bridget Jones's Diary - (2001) - B
--> This first one also isn't too bad, some funny scenes.

Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason - (2004) - B-
--> Not as good as the first one, some scenes are particularly stupid.

Inception - (2010) - A
--> Man, how time flies. This movie is 10 years old?!?

Survivor - (2015) - B-
--> Pierce Brosnan plays an older, grumpy version of his James Bond character. Could've been better, but it has some good moments.

The Bag Man - (2014) - ?
--> I have already forgotten what this movie was about. Perhaps not the best sign.

Les Gendarme de Saint-Tropez - (1964) - B+
--> Classic French comedy.

The Incredibles 2 - (2018) - B+
--> Typical Pixar fare, great animation.

True Romance - (1993) - A-
--> This movie is a wild ride, tons of memorable characters.

Extraction - (2015) - ?
--> Another movie which I cannot remember.

If you've only known Michael Chiklis from The Shield as corrupt SWAT team leader Vic Mackey, he plays pretty much the diametric opposite character on The Commish. We're talking good cop/bad cop in the most literal sense... literally.

That is both the beauty and the curse of the 80's: there was so much stuff that was put out, you're definitely gonna forget some of it.

And speaking of so much stuff, Stephen J. Cannell was cranking out action TV shows like nobody's business back in the day, with my latest interest, Hardcastle &McCormick, being but one example:

So for some reason, I've had an inkling to watch my Transformers Gen 1 DVD's lately. I love it for it's nostalgic value, and who doesn't like robots and cars. But it also makes me laugh at all the inconsistencies in it. The rules of the Transformers universe change from episode to episode based on what was needed for that story.

Still, it's Transformers, and it's Gen 1, so it's always worth it.

Still, it's Transformers, and it's Gen 1, so it's always worth it.

As someone who watched the entire G1 run a little over a year ago (SHOCKER!), it's easily some of the most ridiculously corny nonsense out there, even for a glorified '80s toy commercial. And yeah, there were continuity inconsistencies all over the place, particularly with the origin of my fave combiner team, the Constructicons. Still, it was this show-- and, to  a lesser extent, the concurrently-running Marvel comic book series-- that have come to be expected in subsequent continuities. Such tropes include at least one death & resurrection of Optimus Prime, Megatron eventually being resurrected as Galvatron, Unicron appearing and fixin' to rip $#!+ up, and Starscream as a constantly scheming would-be usurper of Megatron's leadership. Oh, and we mustn't forget the Autobot matrix of leadership!



ANYway, since I've already blown through the latest season of Air Disasters-- a revelation none of you find the least bit surprising--I'm about to dig into season 2 of Disasters at Sea. This is just the sort of uplifting, happy-go-lucky material I need to cope with all the stuff going on in the outside world right now.

The Hateful Eight - (2015) - A+

Captain Fantastic - (2016) - B+

All the President's Men - (1976) - B+

John Wick: Chapter 2 - (2017) - B

Bridget Jones's Baby - (2016) - B-
--> This could easily be really bad, but it somehow works.

Rogue One - (2016) - A
--> *CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ALERT* This is probably my favourite Star Wars movie I've seen so far. It stands on its own and doesn't contain all of the SJW/girl p0wer/leftist ideology BS that absolutely ruin the new trilogy. It's as if focusing on telling a good story actually makes for a better movie than trying to shoehorn woke ideology into a movie regardless of whether it fits. Who knew! /s.

The Theory of Everything - (2014) - B-
--> Good effort by Redmayne but I lost interest at some point during the movie.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout - (2018) - A++
--> Holy hell, what a movie! I have honestly never seen anything like that IMAX helicopter scene and was blown away when I saw the behind-the-scenes explanation of it. Tom Cruise is a legend.

The Homesman - (2014) - B
--> Interesting movie set in the 19th century.

Hell or High Water - (2016) - B+
--> A sort of neo-Western film with great cinematography and interesting characters.

Passengers - (2016) - B
--> Novel concept but some of the characters' choices are weird and some plot points not well thought out.

Dunkirk - (2017) - B
--> Obviously a well-made epic war movie, but I did not connect much with the characters.

I quite liked Dunkirk, and actually thought the lack of a central character was a strength. The war itself was the "main character" in a sense, and I think it worked well. I finished my re-watch of Chuck the TV series, and started a re-watch of The Beatles Anthology series on DVD. I'm about halfway through already.

Hey now,

Been going the series of Quantum Leap again. Such a good show, begs for a reboot of some sort.

Although I wasn't a regular watcher of the show, I could see it being a successful reboot or continuation. Heck, they could try to find a way to incorporate Scott Bakula as Dr. Sam Beckett into the show somehow, seeing as how (SPOILER ALERT!!!) he never found his way back home at the end of the original series.


And speaking of 1980s TV: YouTube has been streaming marathons of G.I. Joe: A Real American* Hero for the last few days, and I've been leaping in and out of those streams.


I hafta admit, as much as I loved G1 TransFormers, the G.I. Joe show was much better written... which isn't saying all that much, really. Let's just say the corny cringe levels of G.I. Joe are significantly lower than that of TransFormers...


I've also been catching an episode here and there of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. I took close notice of the writers of some of these episodes, which included Paul Dini of the DC animated shows from the 90s, and J. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5. I also liked how the "moral-of-the-day" at the end of each episode wasn't just tacked on, but was incorporated into the episode itself. And how could I not be amused by the many scenes that were filmed in live-action, then rotoscope animated?



*Animated in Japan or South Korea

Having recently burned out on 1980s nostalgia worse than the local wildfires ever could, I jumped right into (mostly) 1990s nostalgia and ran day-long marathons of Mystery Science Theater 3000 on YouTube. And not just the stuff they still have the rights to on the official MST3K YouTube channel, either! A couple uber-MSTies apparently VHS-taped just about every episode ever done way back when, and the saw fit to upload them for posterity, with remarkably good picture & sound quality. These guys really took to heart the show's end-credits plea to "keep circulating the tapes," and then took it to a whole 'nother level. And for that, they have my eternal gratitude. Thank you VERY much, good sirs!

The YouTube algorithm is starting to recognize my status as a Child of the 80's; it recommended this little gem from that neon-dappled era of gaudiness:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozoTzkCeO-A



Aerobics, Crystal Light, and Alan Thicke (RIP) at the height of his hosting powers? It just doesn't get more 1980s than that!


BTW I'm pretty sure that this was an inspiration for the Monkey Majik music video for Delicious:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV1hXHWdZ_I



And it undoubtedly was an inspiration for this Key & Peele sketch:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k-Dd71CqnM



I loved how they made the main footage of this sketch look like it was recorded on video tape...

 Speaking of inspiration and the 1980s, who could forget the 1985 Chicago Bears' Super Bowl Shuffle music video...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-U8E-NiPlw



...which inspired late-aughts YouTube phenom Scott Gairdner to create the Sex Offender Shuffle:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfCYZ3pks48



After you watch this, be sure to check out the comments section. Most of the commens near the top were posted by "offenders" featured in the video.

Interestingly enough, shortly after this premiered, some people apparently didn't realize that it was a parody, and was neither an actual public service video from the late 1980s, nor a hoax. Noted YouTube-based internet historian WavyWebSurf provides a fairly concise breakdown of the situation:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGEB21_tPuo



But as entertaining as The Sex Offender Shuffle is, Gairdner's most entertaining works are the Juggalo News Network segments:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkC7dcxZ5_Q

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XstITRcfMI

Needless to say, YouTube is quite the rabbit hole into which one may deeply dive... and never escape.

Watched the new Transformers series on Netflix over the weekend. You can tell it's made by people who care about the Gen 1 storylines, as it attempts to rewrite the origins of the Transformers. While it does take its own view of the Cybertron universe, it still feels like it respects its source material, and I give them a lot of credit for making a cohesive story out of all the Gen 1 flashback stories. One last comment, loved that the opening baid tribute to the opening of the original pilot.

Oddly enough, I haven't bothered to watch the Netflix series, mainly due my being a complete cheapass and not wanting to shell out for a subscription to watch it. Also, based on the promos I saw of the show, it looked a lot like the previous Machinima Combiner Wars trilogy series... which wasn't a good sign, since the Machinima shows weren't very good. Oh well, there's always The Pirate Bay, I guess.

Alice in Borderland turned out to be relatively short, for a single season, but worth the watch. Be warned: it gets brutal and graphic at times. Probably not something I need to worry about with folks here, playing action games and so forth, but definitely not for children's eyes, so don't watch around kiddos. Looking forward to the 2nd season, whenever that drops.

Avengers: Infinity War - (2018) - B+
--> While some of the MCU movies feel quite bland and generic, the Avengers movies are definitely a step above.

The Magnificent Seven - (2016) - B
--> Good actors and a classic story.

American Made - (2017) - B+
--> Enjoyable seeing Tom Cruise in something other than Mission Impossible.

Baby Driver - (2017) - A
--> Excellent movie. I'm a bit concerned they are going to make a sequel to a story that felt quite definitive.

Solo: A Star Wars Story - (2018) - B+
--> To me a solid movie but not as good as Rogue One as the ending does not feel equally consequential. I find it highly amusing how the two spin-off movies are easily better than the new trilogy.

Batman Begins - (2005) - A-
--> Shocking that this movie is now 15+ years old.

The Dark Knight - (2008) - A-
--> Just as good.

The Dark Knight Rises - (2012) - A-
--> The best villain of the trilogy!

Murder on the Orient Express - (2017) - B
--> A solid rendition, beautifully depicted but not as goodas the other version I have seen (it escapes me whether that was the 1974 or 2001 version).

The Breakfast Club - (1985) - A
--> Terrific movie. Wouldn't get made today.

The Return of the Pink Panther - (1975) - C
--> Some laughs but meh.

Kung Fu Panda 3 - (2016) - B-
--> Solid. Too long since I saw part 1 or 2 so I cannot compare.

The Red Turtle - (2016) - A+
--> A masterpiece. Will keep you thinking.

Paddington 2 - (2017) A-
--> Hugh Grant steals the show.

Chariots of Fire - (1981) - B
--> Alright but perhaps not as good as its reputation?

The way the word "diarrhea" is sung in the Pepto ad jingle below, along with the singer's expression, is one of the most hilarious things I've ever heard & seen in my entire freaking life. I swear I couldn't stop laughing for at least a minute after I watched that bit... which, if you're particularly impatient, starts at the 4-second mark:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1Z0sGRDFAA


So... am I too easily entertained? Or do I merely have an embarrassingly juvenile sense of humor? I just don't know anymore. What I DO know, however, is that from here on in, I'm always gonna say the word "diarrhea" in the same sing-songy way as the guy in this commercial...

Now I'm wondering whether or not I should watch the Bruce Willis remake... hmmm...

Actually, methinks I'll watch several other Charles Bronson actioners from the '70s & '80s. Perhaps a marathon of The Mechanic, Mr. Majestyk, Murphy's Law, and Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects. Or maybe I'll go further back in time and catch The Magnificent Seven and The Dirty Dozen. Whattaya all think?

Took the last two days and binge watched Wandavision. There were some brilliant minds that worked on this, because the references and allusions to classic TV was outstanding. No spoilers, other than it took about three episodes for me to understand what was going on, and the ending wasn't what I had expected.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: MetalFRO on May 29, 2021, 10:50:30 AM
Worked my way through Jessica Jones season one, started Luke Cage season one, working on Daredevil season two, started Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season three, and watched Ant-Man. I'm also watching some of the tertiary content, like the WHIH news & interview bits on YouTube, which were released as promotional material around the MCU. Those feature actress Leslie Bibb, who played a reporter in Iron Man and its sequel, so it's a fun way to carry forward that character, and flesh out the stories a bit, as well as provide some connective tissue between some of the movies.

@EZ Racer - regarding WandaVision, yes, definitely some smart folks working on that show. I do think the way it wrapped up was a little messy, but overall, I enjoyed the 1st season. Will be curious to see if they carry that forward with a 2nd season, or if they go with a stand-alone movie.

I'm currently in the middle of the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and... well, so far it's not all that good. But, as mediocre-to-bad as TNG's first year was, it's infinitely preferable to the new so-called "Star Trek"  :facepalm: shows that are nothing more than brainless action-schlock crapfests that all self-respecting Trekkies should avoid like the freakin' plague.

I'm midway through the 2nd season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I'm just about  to dive into...



...SPOILER ALERT...



The episode where Q introduces the starship Enterprise-- and the Trekkie Nation-- to the Borg. Ah, to go back to those heady days when the Borg were the most ruthless, terrifying, and nigh-unstoppable foes of the Alpha-Quadrant and Beta-Quadrant powers... before the Ferengi-like profit-seekers at Paramount gave them same fate that they do to all breakout pop-culture phenoms: overexpose them and run them right into the ground until they became a joke and everybody got sick and tired of them. And boy, did Star Trek: Voyager do that to the hilt.

It ain't right... it just ain't right.

You know what, I gotta get away from these depressing thoughts, and mellow out a bit. And I have just the thing:

I've decided to pause my Star Trek TNG marathon for a bit, and honor the recently departed Charles Robinson by mainlining a slew of Night Court episodes from season two onward directly into my eyeballs.

EDIT: I've been lazy and haven't posted about the movies I've seen for nearly a year (I think).

Goldfinger - (1964) - B-
--> I find it interesting to re-watch these old Bond movies and discover how "unrealistic" they are. Some of the later Roger Moore movies are arguably the worst offenders.

Cars 3 - (2017) - B
--> Not the best Pixar movies but a powerful message at the end.

Hercules - (1997) - B
--> Interesting and unique art style.

The Emperor's New Groove - (2000) - B
--> Similar to Hercules.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - (2017) - A-
--> Powerful performance by Frances McDormand.

The Last Samurai - (2003) - B+
--> A bit cliché but a favourite of mine.

Phantom Thread - (2017) - B
--> Strong performances but I did not quite connect with the movie.

Bumblebee - (2018) - B-
--> Average and quite predictable.

Anomalisa - (2015) - A+
--> Terrific movie. Wes Anderson vibes in the best possible way.

Kate & Leopold - (2001) - C
--> Forgettable romcom.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on July 15, 2021, 11:26:53 AM
The Godfather, Part I, II, III - (1972, 1974, 1990) - A+, A+, B+
--> Classics. There is a lot of hate for Part III but it is a fine movie, albeit with a predictable ending.

The Holiday - (2006) -  B+
--> Unlike Kate & Leopold, this is an example of a romcom which is well done and contains a lot of good jokes.

Knives Out - (2019) - A
--> Excellent whodunit and a breath of fresh air.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - (2019) - A
--> Tarantino is one of the few filmmakers still bringing original stories and characters to life (excluding Indie films).

Eye In The Sky - (2015) - A-
--> Incredible suspensful film!

Malificent - (2014) - B-
--> Bit of a mixed bag.

Far From The Madding Crowd - (2015) - C
--> Carey Mulligan annoys me a little more each time I see a movie of her with her affected cocktease attitude. I wonder how she will age...

Avengers: Endgame - (2019) - A
--> As far as superhero movies go, and the Marvel movies in paticular, this one (together with Infinity War) is one of the best. True stakes & engaging characters without a social agenda forced in the movie.

Crimson Tide - (1995) - A-
--> All in all a good ifnot slightly predictable action/thriller movie, similar to The Rock and other 90ies movies. That said the soundtrack lifts this movie at least one star higher!

Iron Man 3 - (2013) - C-
--> Forgetful and generic - quite a contrast to the Avengers movies. Forgetful story, characters and overdrawn fight scenes and fairly poor CGI.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on July 15, 2021, 12:48:52 PM
Solo: A Star Wars Story - (2018) - B+
--> This movie gets a lot of hate, but I have vastly preferred the standalone Disney-era Star Wars movies to the new trilogy. Unfortunately this movie has the feminist robot ideology shoved in, but otherwise nothing to complain about. Rogue One is still a better and more impactful movie, in my opinion.

Jack Reacher - (2012) - A-
--> While I understand the criticism of many that Tom Cruise shouldn't have been cast as Jack Reacher (because Reacher supposedly is a Mountain-esque figure) I cannot but admire this movie. Especially the early and middle scenes containing the crime scene analysis are executed with much conviction.

Steve Jobs - (2015) - B
--> A bit chaotic (shaking camera) and tiresome (no room for silence) but by all accounts appears quite close to character.

American Sniper - (2014) - B+
--> Much better than the average movie in the genre.

3:10 to Yuma - (2007) - B
--> Not incredible but solid Western.

Rocketman - (2019) - B
--> Interesting movie about Elton John. Turns out he's a bit of an asshole.

Sleepers - (1996) - C+
--> Old school style of movie, but felt about 30 minutes too long.

Basic Instinct - (1992) - B-
--> One of the strongest initial 30 minutes (or so) of any movie I can think of, but the movie isn't able to maintain this intensity.

Cradle 2 the Grave - (2003) - C
--> Cheesy but some decent scenes.

Logan - (2017) - A-
--> Different take on the superhero trope.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on July 15, 2021, 02:11:31 PM
Hot Shots! - (1991) - B+
--> Great gags and overall fun movie! Feels dated only in the sense that this kind of movie wouldn't be made anymore today.

Mad Max: Fury Road - (2015) - A
--> Visually highly impressive, engaging characters and not a bad story made me enjoy this a lot.

Creed - (2015) - A-
--> Great movie and excellent soundtrack.

Hot Shots! Part Deux - (1993) - B
--> A bit of a repeat of the first movie, thematically, trading Top Gun for Rambo.

Zodiac - (2007) - B+
--> Solid movie, also interesting to see Downey and Ruffalo together before Marvel.

Hidden Figures - (2016) - B
--> Enjoyable feelgood semi-historic biopic.

20th Century Women - (2016) - B
--> Quite interesting dark comedy life movie with a good soundtrack.

Ant-Man - (2015) - B
--> A character on the fringes of the MCU - some good scenes but overall not one of the best.

About Schmidt - (2002) - A
--> Poignant movie about a recently retired man who realizes he nears the end of his life.

I tried watching the second-season premiere episode of the animated so-called "Star Trek" series "Lower Decks"... and bailed about three minutes in, it was so obnoxiously unwatchable.


Of course, it shouldn't have been much of a surprise, since I was also annoyed by "Discovery" and appalled by the idiocy that was "Picard." Looks like I've become one of those cold-fogey Trekkie curmudgeons who pine for the good old days of Star Trek, when it was actually decent to great...

My Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. watch-through has been rudely interrupted by Netflix unceremoniously removing it from the service when I was 4 episodes away from finishing it, so I'll have to put that on hold for the moment. Last night, I watched Lifeforce, a ridiculous sci-fi B movie about space vampires trying to take over Earth. It wasn't completely terrible, but it certainly isn't an all time classic, either. Patrick Stewart has a rather unglamorous role in the movie. Not sure if it's the edit I watched, or what the deal was, but the sound balance was really awful. Some of the dialogue scenes were too quiet, and the moment the music would swell up for dramatic effect, or there were screams or loud noises, it got WAY too loud. Was pretty jarring in spots.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. showed back up on Netflix a couple days later, so I finished it out, which was well worth doing. I'm now working on Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Just binged all of Squid Game on Netflix and really enjoyed it. I will say the English dub is pretty bad and almost stereotypical for some characters. So it may be worth just watching it with the original Korean voices and just use English subtitles for some. Other than that the story is great and the different games they play are really thrilling.

Except of course when he would take a break to pound an energy drink and play pinball. If you like garbage “horror” movies, and I’m being very generous calling whatever this was a horror movie, then give this one a watch. At the very least it’ll give you some decent laughs as you watch it.

Both are iconic, and both have iconic theme songs. That's a coin flip, I think.

After watching several segments of the Cobra Kai show on YouTube, I just might give the whole series a go myself. The nostalgia factor aside, what I saw had an oddly endearing ridiculousness and corniness to it that was none the less compelling, even if those moments made it hard for me to take the "serious" parts very seriously.

Before I do that, however, I still hafta get through the second season of The A-Team, as well as the final episodes from Star Trek TNG's 4th season.

I would highly recommend it. It has heart, both Ralph Macchio and William Zabka reprise their roles very faithfully, and there are a TON of nods to the original films. You'll hear a line spoken that will be a fun callback, or sometimes there will be a visual bit or gag that will be a reference. Some of the original film's soundtrack is used for effect throughout the series, and other references to 80's music that connects, such as the use of a Peter Cetera sung Chicago track in an episode, that's a subtle nod to his appearance on the Karate Kid II soundtrack. A lot of the dialogue is smart, and both Danielle and Johnny have well developed characters that play off their original depictions, but show obvious growth. And while the "kids" on the show might not have the same screen presence or charisma that the originals had, they do well enough to help carry things forward.

Wow, my parents were quite the opposite. When the new episodes premiered on NBC, they let me stay up past my usual 9 PM bedtime so I could watch. It didn't hurt that two local independent stations played Night Court reruns five days a week in the late afternoon/early evening. I must have watched every episode from the first five or six seasons at least three times each.

ANYway, I have about 5 episodes to go. For my next marathon of beloved 1980s TV, I'm split between watching the first season of Airwolf, or the first season of The Golden Girls.

I thought the introduction of Knuckles was neat, and fun that Tails has his plane. I still haven't seen the 1st one, but this certainly looks promising.


I found it intriguing enough that I considered watching all the breakdown analyses and YouTuber reaction videos that started popping up immediately after the trailer dropped. Fortunately, I came to my senses almost as quickly as the thought entered my mind.


ANYway, thanks to my viewing of the Sonic 2 trailer, the YouTube algorithm recommended the teaser to the upcoming Sonic Frontiers game:



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRkKZG1z9PY



Well that was rather vague. I mean, nice visuals and all, but... no gameplay footage to speak of? Very suspicious. BTW the teaser's ending leads me to believe the primary "frontier" is the world of Shadow of the Colossus.

On another note: I betcha can't guess which season of Night Court I'm marathoniong right now...

Missed that they actually released it so I just caught Evangelion 3.0+1.0. Def better than the last one but they really should've just left the franchise alone after EoE. It had some alright ideas and developments but the 3D CG and animation was pretty bad considering how much more time and money was invested here. All the new characters were a flatline, especially Mari. Can't shake the feeling the new setting, mechas and character were all just there for merchandising purposes. All in all pretty disappointing.

I haven't posted in this thread in ages and now I'm dozens of movies behind. Need to catch back up!

Captain America: Civil War - (2016) -  A-
--> Definitely one of the better movies in the MCU. This could have been an Avengers movie.

King Otto - (2021) - B
--> Documentary about football trainer Otto Rehhagel who coached the Greek national football team to an unexpected victory at Euro 2004.

Minority Report - (2002) - A
--> 20 years old this year...a good sign if I enjoy rewatching a movie several times over.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - (2016) - B-
--> So-so. I enjoyed the visual style and premise, but think more could have been achieved with a better plot.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - (2018) - C
--> Too much of a rerun of the original Fantastic Beast, which wasn't "fantastic" to begin with.

Network - (1976) - B+
--> Rather bizarre movie. Sort of a critique of the zeitgeist of the 1970s.

Amadeus - (1984) - B+
--> Life and death of Mozart. I understand some artistic liberties (historical inaccuracies) were applied but it makes for a good movie.

Howl's Moving Castle - (2004) - A
--> A Studio Ghibli / Hayao Miyazaki classic. Love the visual style and music.

Schitt's Creek - (2015 - 2020) - A+
--> Not a movie, but I did want to comment on Schitt's Creek. Probably one of the most enjoyable comedy/sitcom TV series I ever watched.

The Terminator - (1984) - B
-->  Tech Noir!

The Out-of-Towners - (1999) - C-
-->  Silly comedy starring Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn. Steve Martin's movies often tend to walk the tight line between good comedy and cringeworthy comedy. The type of movie that wouldn't be made anymore today.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles - (1987) - C+
-->  On the surface exactly like The Out-of-Towners, but more...genuine somehow.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona - (2008) - B+
-->  Typical Woody Allen comedy-drama. Good acting and some enjoyable scenes throughout.

Another set:

Ghostbusters - (1984) - B+
--> A classic. It's funny how time changes norms and values. A lot of the behaviour displayed in this movie, mostly by Bill Murray, would be classified as sexual harrassment today.

Mad Max - (1979) - B+
--> Very interesting to see how this movie forms the bridge to the full-on post-apocalyptic world of the sequel.

Mad Max 2 - (1981) - A
--> One of the rare sequels better than the original.

The Hunt for Red October - (1990) - B
--> Captain Connery!

Aquaman - (2018) - C
--> Far from the worst movies in the genre, but it still feels quite derivative. Too much CGI and not enough character/world building to make the whole thing believable.

Brewster's Millions - (1985) - F
--> F for Fail. A comedy film should be funny, at minimum.

The Beguiled - (2017) - B
--> Interesting movie, but not Coppola's best work.

Elizabeth Is Missing - (2019) - A
--> Excellent drama about Alzheimer's disease.

The Ghost and the Darkness - (1996) - C-
--> Strange movie that awkwardly falls in between a good movie and a "so bad it's good" movie...

You Were Never Really Here - (2017) - B
--> An impressive performance by Joaquin Phoenix.

Justice League - (2017) - C-
--> Meh. This type of collab movie just doesn't work without first establishing the characters in solo movies. I would also argue many of these characters aren't likeable.

Thor: The Dark World - (2013) - B-
--> Quite ok but not the best Marvel movie by far.

Shoplifters - (2018) - A
--> A slow start but a profound impact towards the end. A must-see movie.

At Eternity's Gate - (2018) - B
--> Good performance by Willem Dafoe, but felt in parts like overacting.

The Founder - (2016) - A-
--> The movie starts somewhat ordinarily but ends with quite the message.

The Breakfast Club - (1985) - A-

Time (mini series) - (2021) - B
--> Interesting mini series starring Boromir...I mean, Sean Bean. A little short, they could've taken this a bit further.

Before I Go to Sleep - (2014) - C
--> Rather confusing memory-loss movie. I'm not entirely convinced by the plot.

Parasite - (2019) - A+
--> Wow! One of the best movies I've seen in the last few years.

Rogue One - (2016) - B+
--> Easily the best of all the new Star Wars movies. Who knew focussing on a good story with believable characters, rather than shoehorning a woke agenda would result in a better movie? /sarcasm.

All the Money in the World - (2017) - B-
--> A bit slow-paced and sombre...

The Shining - (1980) - A
--> Great performances throughout.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - (1986) - B
--> Such a youthful, positive spirited, uplifting comedy.

Downton Abbey - (2019) - B-
--> Continuation on the themes established in the TV series; harmless fun.

Sea of Love - (1989) - C+
--> Decent movie but quite grim and rough around the edges.

The Post - (2017) - B+
--> Solid performances from Streep and Hanks.

Spider-Man: Far From Home - (2019) - B
--> Solid MCU movie, enjoyable special effects.

Get Shorty - (1995) - B+
--> Similar to The Big Lebowski, this movie features an overly complex plot, but does manage to bring things together at the end.

The Fly - (1986) - B
--> Not my favourite genre, but it was OK.

Kick-Ass - (2010) - D
--> What could have been an enjoyable movie is ruined, for me, by mostly unlikeable characters. Especially the main character.

Testament of Youth - (2014) - B-
--> A bit too soppy and wallowing in its own mysery to me, but beautifully filmed.

Blade Runner 2049 - (2017) - A-
--> Stunning visuals with Ryan Gosling in his typical brooding style.

Finding Neverland - (2004) - B+
--> Just the type of character that Johnny Depp plays so well, what's not to like?

Buried - (2010) - B
--> A study in how much can be done with so little.

Green Book - (2018) - B+
--> Excellent period movie with great performances by the two main leads.

Hail, Caesar! - (2016) - B
--> Nonsense movie with great actors and performances, especially George Clooney.

Burn After Reading - (2008) - B
--> Also by the Coen brothers, equally nonsensical plot. This time Malkovich steals the show.

Oblivion - (2013) - B
--> The movie does a great job to create a feeling that "something" is off, which is revealed only later on.

Apocalypse Now Final Cut - (1979 / 2019) - A
--> This version is 3 hours long, containing some great additional scenes (also featured in Redux, but not the original) such as the ones at the French plantation.

A little while ago, I heard fireworks going off outside, which was my cue to pop over to YouTube to watch The NBA Finals trophy presentation ceremony.

Spoiler alert: Steph Curry finally won Finals MVP. Danged well took him long enough.
Saw it too, well deserved.


I rather enjoyed Steph, Klay and Draymond clapping back at all the doubters and naysayers during the postgame press conference... and a little more at the victory parade a few days later.


ANYway: Thanks to a rather persuasive YouTube video review of the show, I recently started watching Bob's Burgers. I've almost completed the first three seasons; just a few more episodes to go before I dive into year four.

And you can tell from his horrified expression that Chris is gonna need years-- nay, decades of counseling after this depraved adventure.



Needless to say, I'm currently marathoning Sonic XXX-- errr, I mean, Sonic X. The original Japanese one of course, what with it being a bit more pervy than its horrficially malformed 4Kids counterpart.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Ghost Soldier on September 16, 2022, 09:53:37 PM
^The first was was Jason's mother, with a cameo of him coming out of the water as a boy. The second he is wearing a potato sack or pillow case running around taking care of those pesky counselors. Part 3 is when he don's the hockey mask from the guy named Shelly. I love them all but tend to run thru the first two most weekends. The wife doesn't care for the later movies, but likes these two. Ironically enough I'm watching them right now.

Post by: Sirgin on September 18, 2022, 10:46:06 AM
Ready Player One - (2018) -  B+
--> Not a bad movie; Ben Mendelsohn is a great villain.

Deadpool - (2016) -  B
--> Deadpool! Overall enjoyable, probably more so for those who read the comics first.

300: Rise of an Empire - (2014) - C-
--> A definite step down from the original 300 movie.

The Deer Hunter - (1978) - A
--> All-time classic despite the controversy regarding the historical accuracy.

Star Wars: Episode IV - VI - (1977, 1980, 1983) - A
--> Revisiting the original trilogy. Breath of fresh air forcing a political agenda on the audience.

Midnight Cowboy - (1969) - B+
--> Just checked to see that Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight are both still alive

A Star Is Born - (2018) - A
--> Terrific performances by the entire cast.

Face/Off - (1997) - B-
--> A plot so stupid it becomes good again. The best part is seeing the two leads act as each other.

Ghost in the Shell - (2017) - C-
--> Although some scenes are nearly exact copies, it just doesn't feel the same as the original.

The Guns of Navarone - (1961) - A-
--> Classic WWII war movie. Irene Papas sadly died only 4 days ago at the moment of writing this, RIP.

Young Adult - (2011) - A
--> Great acting by Charlize Theron.

First Man - (2018) - B
--> Great biopic about the Apollo 11 mission to the moon.


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on September 18, 2022, 11:06:26 AM
Westworld - (1973) - A-
--> Yul Brynner as one of the greatest villains ever portrayed in cinema.

Midnight Special - (2016) - B
--> Strange plot but good acting.

Stan & Ollie - (2018) - B
--> Feelgood biopic about the iconic duo.

A Shot in the Dark - (1964) - B-
--> Second installment in Peter Seller's Pink Panther series. Some of the humour is a bit silly when viewing today.

Papillon - (1973) - A-
--> An epic prison escape movie, perhaps slightly too long in length.

Robin Hood - (2018) - D-
--> Somewhat lazy and unnecessary Robin Hood remake. Strange casting choices (Jamie Foxx). Ben Mendelsohn is his formidable self.

Timecop - (1994) - B
--> JCVD is a timecop!

Moonlight - (2016) - B+
--> Great acting in a movie breaking new ground.

The Conversation - (1974) - A-
--> Timecapsule movie starring Gene Hackman, John Cazale and a young Harrison Ford in a small role.

500 Days of Summer - (2009) - B-
--> Really captures that late 00's era well in an original take on the romcom story.

Frantic - (1988) - B
--> Neo noir thriller with a great unexpected story.

Internal Affairs - (1990) - B+
--> Perhaps Richard Gere's greatest villain role, not sure?

The Lost City of Z - (2016) - B+
--> Quite a tragic ending.

Just finished up the third season of Japanese Sonic X, AKA the blatant ripoff of loving tribute to Space Battleship Yamato. Other "tributes" I noticed included a cameo by an anthropomorphic Kimba as well as Eggman's rendition of a Zaku mech from Gundam. He also created his version of the more obscure combiner-bot Godmars, called Eggmars here, natch. He evn made his very own Mazinger Z the previous season. Needless to say, Dragonball Z isn't the only anime from which Sonic and pals have jacked elements.

And not that anyone cares, but I'd forgotten how much of a bummer this season ended up being. It was also the perviest season, as you will soon see:


I'm pretty sure that this...

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/y409/Zagnorch/amy_butt.jpg)



...was the aftermath of this:

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/y409/Zagnorch/sonic_bt_amy_s_legs.jpg)



DAMN! He got Sonic on da tip!

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/y409/Zagnorch/sonic_on_da_tip.jpeg)



Ladies and Gentlemen, the most egregious panty shot in anime history:

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/y409/Zagnorch/thirsty_tails.jpeg)

Yeah, I bet you're "thirsty," ya freakin' degenerate!



Meanwhile, Amy is giving Sonic the bad touch (and that's no good!):

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/y409/Zagnorch/sonic_by_the_1.jpeg)



Sonic's all like, "I NEED AN ADULT!"...

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/y409/Zagnorch/sonic_by_the_2.jpeg)



...while Amy has this song playing in her head:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scDlyK_-NrI



And you'll never forget this scene of Tails crackin' a smile... no matter how hard you try:

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/y409/Zagnorch/tails_bendover.png)



Aaaaand finally, here's Dr. Eggman making a pretty basic observation about Rouge:

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/y409/Zagnorch/egg_boob.jpg)



With all this depravity going on, it's a miracle that 4Kids had anything left to broadcast after all the edits they had to make.


ANYway, I'm currently checking out HBO's two-part documentary on George Carlin...

...because George Carlin.

I don't need any other goddamned explanation.

Memento - (2000) - A
--> Fantastic movie. Love how the timeline comes together.

Boyz n the Hood - (1991) - A-
--> Very insightful and well-acted.

The Witches of Eastwick - (1987) - C+
--> Romatic fantasy comedy starring Jack Nicholson who steals every scene he's in.

A Time to Kill - (1996) - B
--> The best scenes involve Matthew McConaughey in the courtroom.

Six Days, Seven Nights - () - C
--> Typical example of the "stranded on a desert island" genre.

Riddick - (2013) - B
--> Mindless action thriller. Vin Diesel is pretty cool, the other characters are mostly idiots (which I think is the intention).

Molly's Game - (2017) - B+
--> A fine addition to the poker-thriller subgenre.

1917 - (2019) - A
--> Terrific. Great acting and fantastic cinematography.

Miss Sloane - (2016) - B
--> Another solid movie with Jessica Chastain. Overall, I slightly prefer Molly's Game over this one.

All Is True - (2018) - A-
--> Historical drama about Shakespeare's life. All heavyweights of the stage in the main parts (Branagh, Dench and McKellen).

Glass - (2019) - D-
--> Quite a poor - and odd - superhero movie. The last mainstream movie starring Bruce Willis, I think.

Hard Target - (1993) - C+
--> JCVD doing JCVD things!


Title: Re: What are you watching right now?
Post by: Sirgin on April 10, 2023, 12:26:59 PM
Red Cliff - (2008) - B
--> Wasn't sure what to expect from this Chinese historic war drama, but a very solid effort.

Mindhorn - (2016) - B+
--> British comedy of the best kind: unpredictable and rediculous.

Ali - (2001) - B-
--> Will Smith sure packs a punch!

Venom - (2018) - C
--> I felt that this movie took way too long to get going. I'm not against character development, but the first half of the movie could've been better.

Sully - (2016) - B
--> Tom Hanks plays himself, basically. At least insofar that he really has a patent on playing an old grumpy guy for at least 10 years now.

Terminator: Dark Fate - (2019) - C
--> Not a bad action movie, but the fights get somewhat repetitive, knowing the enemy is basically invincible.

Bad Boys for Life - (2020) - B
--> Bad Boys, Bad Boys!

Viceroy's House - (2017) - C
--> Clearly a nostalgic/rose-tinted view of the partition period in India. Feelgood genre.

Spider-Man: Homecoming - (2017) - B
--> Tom Holland does a great job given the repetitive subject nature.

8 Days - (?) - ?
--> I forgot about this movie and can't even find much on the internet.

Top Gun: Maverick - (2022) - A+
--> Went to the cinema to see this one and was not dissapointed. Tom Cruise is a phenomenom, truly. The stunts look so real, which makes all the difference.

It's elderly Indiana Jones from the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles TV show from the early 90s. Each episode was basically bookended with old Indy telling some kids a story of one of his adventures, which would then segue into the episode proper. Then he and the kids would pop up again at the end of the episode to wrap things up.

I think you should leave - season 3

Why don't you MAKE me, punk?!

Oh whoops, you were talking about that cringe-comedy sketch show, weren't you.

I, um... sorry about that outburst.

As for myself: I'm about to dive into season two of Sonic Prime, seeing as how season one ended in a cliffhanger.

I originally watched season one just so I could have something to text about with Razor Knuckles. Sadly, I was disappointed to find out he hadn't watched it yet. Fortunately I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was reasonably good. I liked that (SPOILER ALERT) Sonic was the cause of all the mayhem that ensues throughout the show, and that Shadow isn't the  edgy anti-hero stereotype he had become in the last decade, but more the put-upon curmudgeon who's had quite enough of Sonic's childish shenanigans, and sets about to knock the cerulean speedster down a peg or two. From what I've seen, the second season sees the two teaming up-- very begrudgingly so, I might add-- to set things back to normal again.

Aaaand that's it for now.

Total Recall - (1990) - B-
--> Cheesy but fun.

Elvis - (2022) - B
--> Directed by Baz Luhrmann, chaotic style and a good performance by Austin Butler.

Emma - (2020) - B+
--> I prefer some of the other adaptations (1996 movie, 1998 movie and the 2009 miniseries), or maybe I need to watch this one multiple times before passing judgement.

The Mule - (2018) - B-
--> Predictable "old man Eastwood" fare. Still enjoyable.

Crazy Rich Asians - (2018) - A-
--> A refreshing topic (for me).

A Private War - (2018) - B
--> Biopic war drama about war journalist Marie Colvin.

The Shawshank Redemption - (1994) - A+
--> Probably oneof the best ending / best story arc movies ever.

The Other Side of Hope - (2017) - B+
--> Finnish comedy-drama. Well-acted and absurd story.

Roxanne - (1987) - B
--> Textbook example of the type of feelgood American comedy movie that really capture the 80ies / 90ies era of optimism and comfort.

City Slickers - (1991) - B
--> See Roxanne.

Aladdin - (2019) - C
--> Not to the level of the 1992 animated movie.

Legend -  (2015) - B
--> Not entirely convinced with the pacing of the movie, but Tom Hardy is a terrific actor.

The Bounty -  (1984) - B+
--> Great performances by Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier -  (2014) - B
--> Solid MCU movie. Very interesting to watch now, in what I consider the post-Marvel era. Covid really feels like a end of many things, including the MCU hype.

Beast -  (2017) - A-
--> Truly strong performances in this gripping thriller.

Peter Rabbit -  (2018) - C
--> Why not, another animated movie. Some fun scenes.

A Fish Called Wanda -  (1988) - B+
--> Similarly to Roxanne and City Slickers, but this time a British movie.

12 Monkeys -  (1995) - B-
--> A crazy science fiction / post apocalyptic movie. The plot is somewhat confusing.

Jackie -  (2016) - B+
--> Great performance by Natalie Portman.

V for Vendetta -  (2006) - A-
--> The fact that people are still discussing this movie nearly 20 years later speaks volumes. Also very predictive of the future.

The Handmaiden -  (2016) - A++
--> Visually incredible, thoughtprovoking. Together with Parasite (2019) two of the most striking movies I have seen in the past 5 years, both Korean, quite extraordinary.

Kick-Ass 2 -  (2013) - D-
--> Meh.

The Firm -  (1993) - B-
--> Starts out just like Roxanne, City Slickers or any other feelgood 80ies/90ies comedy, then takes an interesting turn.

Hellboy -  (2004) - C+
--> Part of the superhero movies collective before the MCU.

Watched the Ratchet & Clank movie for the second time ever. It was just as disappointingly unremarkable this time around as it was the first. Just play the 2016 game for the PS4 instead; it's basically the movie in video game form... but is actually fun to experience.

Watched all the Child's Play movies and all the movies after 3 suck.  Don't bother with them.  On to the series, which I heard is good.

No time for romance, I gotta do my annual viewing of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

Needless to say, after watching all that, I sure could go for some Popeye's right about now.

I started watching the 2nd Castlevania series on Netflix. Besides being a tad on the edgelord/try-hard side, I've enjoyed it so far.

Have a few episodes left of the TV series, Chucky.  It's not bad.  I definitely would recommend watching it.
