Revenant. I'm not entirely sure if this was a (single) terrific performance washed away in a meh "revenge" plot, or it tried to be way more spiritual for what it was and everyone is trying to praise this movie based on the trailer alone. [sp]I mean, the whole thing is suposed to be an inminent catharsis for the main character, but by the time the actual climax of the movie happens your simphathy for glass has been washed away by a 2 hour long scenery.[/sp]

Snatch My favorite Guy Ritchie movie, even more so than Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, despite how similar they are. Lock, Stock is good, but I think the jokes work better and the direction is a lot more confident. It's smoother, much more slick. And I like the cast a little more in this one. I wish Jason Statham stuck with doing comedies. He's genuinely funny.

Deadpool - 7/10 I find it really weird that the funniest jokes in the movie were about Ryan himself [sp]like Deadpool unveiling his mask at the end of the movie only to have Ryan's real life face on a paper underneath it[/sp] but almost all of Deadpool's one liners fell flat

Deadpool was great because it was like the comics. It didn't take anything serious and was all around entertaining. It was great to see an enjoyable Ryan Reynolds flick. I enjoyed it more than almost all of the other Marvel movies. Solid 8/10 will be watching again and purchasing when it releases onto BluRay.

[b]Reservoir Dogs[/b] I really like this movie and how it all plays out in such a limited environment, the dialogues are quite enjoyable and the characters feel all really unique. The last scene is really intense and actually quite emotional. Just a great movie but certainly not for everybody.

Watched the first half of Synecdoche, New York, had to stop. Should I keep going later or is it just an acquired taste I can't find?

I do agree it was fairly drawn out, but I think the film recognized this. By the end, you, the viewer, are just exhausted. Not necessarily excited that he got his revenge, but glad that it's finally over with. This kinda plays into what Glass' emotions must be like at the time. Sort of like having a week with waaaaay too much work to do...once it's over, you're not so much happy as you just wanna go to bed.[/sp] Poor comparison, but that's just my take on it.

It was very plain, blunt and simple.

[QUOTE=Call Me Kiwi;49724939]Deadpool is a really fun movie and is also incredibly self aware of what it is, just take the title sequence for example: [sp] Where instead of names there is, "A British villain", and "A hot girl" [/sp] It does have a post credits scene. [sp]He says to take your trash out of the theater, at which point my friend accidentally dropped his trash on the floor. Everyone heard it.[/sp][/QUOTE] Fucking god damn it they turned the lights on so I left

"it's supposed to be boring" works when you're talking about something like 2001 where it presents the concept of space travel being a day-to-day procedure where the characters don't bat an eyelid "it's supposed to be boring" doesn't work when you're talking about swathes of a film leaving you literally bored to tears now [B]I haven't seen the film[/B], [I]but[/I] people need to stop defending films for having flaws with "but it was [I]meant[/I] to be really shit in that specific way!"

[QUOTE=Del91;49734086]Fucking god damn it they turned the lights on so I left[/QUOTE] Movies really need to start saying if there will be a post credits scene prior to showing the film.

[QUOTE=Bathtub;49734152]why are you people interpreting what he says as "it was supposed to be boring" if anything it means "it was supposed to be exhausting", because thats what the revenant [I]is[/I][/QUOTE] Please, explain me the very difference between "boring" and "exhausting", because I wholeheartedly I agree with the first statement, that wasn't particularly engaging film and I'm curious how "exhausting the viewer" precisely works.

They are different things. People are exhausted after long journeys, in the same way that Glass was at the end of the Revenent.

[QUOTE=Loadingue;49733458]Watched the first half of Synecdoche, New York, had to stop. Should I keep going later or is it just an acquired taste I can't find?[/QUOTE] Honestly I think it is one of those films you either love or hate. I love Charlie Kaufman films, but they are not for everybody.

[QUOTE=Bathtub;49734212]I felt completely exhausted by the end of Whiplash, and I don't think anyone can describe that film as 'boring'. They are different things. People are exhausted after long journeys, in the same way that Glass was at the end of the Revenent.[/QUOTE] But the exhaustion coming from Whiplash was caused by physically being put through the non-stop emotional rollercoaster for two hours straight, and The Revenant was anything but that. You were afraid of Fletcher and that's why you sided with whatever the name of Miles Teller character was. Are you trying to say that you felt in the same way as Glass? You felt the abandonment, intense cold, hunger, tiredness, backache and need for revenge? [editline]13th February 2016[/editline] I doubt it, because neither story nor DiCaprio through acting done nothing to make me sympathize with him. At the end of the day I kind of felt that Fitzgerald was right, and hearing people leaving the cinema I wasn't the only one.

I certainly felt freezing during the film; having known it was a 'cold' movie, I wore a light jacket and ordered an Icee to drink while watching. It added to the atmosphere of the movie, at least to me.

Sicario. 9/10 Bit late on this one, but loved every minute of it. The first five minutes hook you in like nothing else and then you're invested in the ride throughout. [sp]You could cut the atmosphere with a knife. The cinematography was exceptional, so many shots made me consciously think "what a shot!" - the escort scenes, the lighting of characters in their darkest moments, the ultra long shots of terrain that enrich the setting. The casting couldn't have been better. Blunt nails the virtuous yet ultimately powerless character, Brolin transitions from funnyman to sinister in a very satisfying way and of course you can't understate Del Toro's performance. He was literally on another level. His character had such emotional depth and drew you in, yet didn't detract from the other actors' performances at all. He really was in a separate 'world', the one that Kate simply couldn't ever partake in and never actually had a chance to. I loved how much he used physicality to convey his character, and on the occasion that he actually spoke he exuded intimidation and depth. Of course it was extremely satisfying to watch each character arc play out. Often, you really don't know what's going to happen next, and feel as on edge as Kate does at all times as a result. I loved how the corrupt cop substory plays out in the background until it aligns with the main plot, then finally surfaces to end the film on a message-heavy note, I thought that was pretty seamless. I've seen a lot of comparisons to Zero Dark Thirty, which I think are valid, but I enjoyed Sicario a lot more and felt so much more involved. Some reckoned the music felt intrusive or forced, but I loved the horror vibes to it (what is this movie anyway? Thriller? Horror? Action? Suspense? Documentary?), and the movie in general.[/sp] I talked to a friend about it just now and he said "not much happens in it" and "The main character is not that relatable." What the fuck. I really have to question his taste on that one I've realised I actually saw Prisoners as well, didn't know it was the same director. Really liked that movie, draws you in, makes you uncomfortable and causes you to examine every character just like this one

I still haven't seen Sicario and I'm really pissed about it. I can't decide whether I want to wait to buy it on BluRay or try to find a really high quality torrent.

Suspiria - Great Italian horror film. Amazing visual and audio work and I loved the vivid coloring used to keep the viewer on edge. No clue why they are currently remaking such a well done film.
