Movies - What have you watched lately?

Jump to new
Furious 7 - The only thing that left me furious was the money I wasted watching this prolonged frenetic sequence of violence and ridiculous car crashes and chase scenes. Oh ... one good bit was watching Ronda Rousey getting her butt kicked by a woman twice her age and half her size. Laughable.

NIGHT AT MUSEUM (3) SECRET OF THE TOMB


Going to Dumb and Dumber 2 tonight, but went to see the third instalment of NAM Monday.

Predictably the place was full of X/Y gens laughing their slippers off.

Surprisingly none of my group believed my instant recognition of the Neanderthal, which I must say was probably the best acting this guy has done since be buddied up with Robert Downie jnr.....very entertaining.

The movie itself is like a passing parade with Mickey Rooney and Robin Williams gone from us.

Our Australian girl does a great knock off of a few Ali G routines in her role as an English guard.

The movie is forgettable, except for the primitive man.

Agree 100%.

Couldn't even get smile happening, very mediocre. Thankfully only hired the dvd.
 
Gotta give it to Marvel, I thought they'd scrap the bottom of the barrel with a film like Ant-Man but it looks to be a good movie.

Marvel certainly are creating some great content, As a Disney share holder it's pretty exciting seeing the quality that they have been producing, I can't wait to see Ant Man.

What movie have I see lately?

Cinderella offcourse, lol. Lily James plays the character so well, not to mention she is absolutely stunning, It's a great re telling of the classic tale. Truly beautiful film, I actually can wait to see it again.

Yea, Disney/Marvel should have a great year this and next.

Avengers 2 should make a billion+ for sure.
Then there's Star Wars (without the older George Lucas ruining his own franchise); Tomorrowland...

Pixar got a few coming their way too... That Inside/Out looks like another winner.

The measle stuff is over, and when the gov't finally crack down on pirates, its earning should double, haha.

Saw bits of the new Cinderella. The girl is pretty, but not a believable Cinderella to me. Too much sex appeal I think - maybe that's because I saw her in Downton Abbey sleeping around with a few guys.

It's well made though... and that Frozen add on was a nice touch.

I like the Drew Barrymore version of Cinderella.
 
GUNMAN

Great impersonation of Sly Stallone by Sean Penn.

Another same movie with the usual codswallop storyline. A cliche in motion.
 
NOAH - The Russell Crowe version.

If there truly is a God then he/she/omniscient being should never have allowed this drivel to be made into a movie let alone it grossing 326 million at the box office. I mean really ... stone golems protecting Noah and family as well as helping to build the Ark? FFS I had to drop some acid and toke on some broad leaf entertainment plant to distend belief and stop my eyes from burning from this visual and cerebral pollution. Mad Max Fury mixed with Lord of the Rings with a biblical sketchy outline with a monotone actor and some really really bad CGI does NOT make a movie. :mad:
 
Mad Max: Fury Road.

Wow.

Been awhile since I've seen such beautiful carnage. What an amazing movie.
Oh yea, there's a decent story attached to it - but man, I thought it'd be another Fast Furious or a lame Transformers overkill but this one was quite amazing.

Yes I watched this on opening night and was amazed at the humour, the pathos, the sensitivity, the sublime beauty of the landscapes, the intimate bond between man and woman ......... <record scratching> scotch that 3h1te:D </record scratching>.

I must be getting really old, but a flick that is about six movies of full on action packed into one 120 minute action trailer has gotta get boring after 15 minutes, right? Now Megan Gale was a highlight in my books ... nice bod au naturale. :)

My real complaint is that while everyone around me was drinking turps and squirt I had to make do with a Zero and the knowledge I had a one hour drive home presumably with every redneck who had just watched it too, sharing the same freeway.
 
PAWN SHOP

Watched on bluray last night. If you are fan offPulp Fiction movie then this is for you. Subset stories stitched together by a pawn shop and it's quirky owner (D'Onofrio).

If you wondered what happened to Brendan Fraser, Matt Dillon and even Elijah Wood you will find them here behaving rather badly, especially Matt.

If you into naked women there are a few scenes that are for you, although they are bookended by some rather out there violence and taboos (this is an R18+ rated flick). If gratuitous violence that can't really be taken seriously is your thing then this is also for you.

The best way to describe this movie is that it would take a fair bit of alcohol or drugs to make it feel like you aren't watching it after drinking a fair bit of alcohol or taking drugs.....kind drinking til you are sober cliché.:rolleyes: It's a rolling dreamstate.

I reckon about 5 years will pass before the images seared on the back of my retina disappear altogether.:D

Megan and the brides were nice :D Beats the original Mad Max where the bad guys seem to have gotten lost from their Mardi Gras parade and chase after Mel Gibson.

Yea, six action packed movies rolled into one - what's not to like?
It's like watching a series of cool trailers with a couple boring talky bits.

You obviously didn't read my post #76 on page 4 of the thread.
I possibly could have been more harsh in my assessment, but I didn't want to be rude to NZlanders.

We still take the pizz out of our daughter for buying the dvd, and she has sworn never again to buy a dvd, before seeing the movie. :D

Would have to rank up there, with the worst movies ever.IMO
 
Avengers age of Ultron.

I left a little disappointed, too violent for the kids, and too much like days of our lives for normal people.

Try to put romance and drama, into a comic book story, just seems to miss the mark for me.

Nothing wrong with the special effects, just didn't feel like money well spent, when we left the cinema.:confused:

That was pretty good.

I like the first story best though. Especially when the two White Supremacists were having doubts about their membership and the heartbreak at discovering that Jerry Springer is Jewish, haha.

It's like those Tales from the Crypt short stories back in the 90s.

Yea it's somewhat disappointing. Maybe I was expecting too much but yea.
Though that Hulk and Iron Man fight was pretty awesome though.
 
Cool Hand Luke.

They don't make them like they used to.
