inside out clever and lighthearted pixar movie with still a few deep moments ([sp]the bing bong's arc[/sp]). very enjoyable, managed to steal many smiles from me and my friend. go watch it

[QUOTE=Rusty100;48734290]sorry for your brain[/QUOTE] Oh yes it pales in comparison to such cinematic masterpieces such as [I]Vacation[/I], [I]Terminator:Genisys[/I], [I]Pixels[/I], [I]The Gallows[/I], [I]Minions[/I], [I]Self/Less[/I], [I]The Vatican Tapes[/I] and [I]Paper Towns[/I] that all came out in July.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;48735107]why does being less bad than the bottom of the barrel make it an 8/10 ignore all trash, rate movies on their own merit[/QUOTE] When did I say it was 8/10? Just a few posts above I called it [QUOTE=teddthebucfan;48730844]stunningly mediocre.[/QUOTE]

some other guy did i guess sorry all south paw apologists blur together in my mind

[QUOTE=Zannabluke;48734675]inside out clever and lighthearted pixar movie with still a few deep moments ([sp]the bing bong's arc[/sp]). very enjoyable, managed to steal many smiles from me and my friend. go watch it[/QUOTE] You know, I did really like Inside Out but I honestly thought [sp]Bing Bong[/sp] was what kept it from being better

he starts as a joke for sure but the end was what saved the character for me

The Machinist - 7/10 This movie feels extremely tonally similar to Enemy, probably because of its color grading and its bassoony sounding soundtrack and because I'd consider Bale's character to be really similar to Gyllenhaal's (hopefully that's not too spoilerish). If you liked one of these movies, I'd definitely recommend watching the other. I thought this movie was really neat, and the Route 666 ride was definitely my favorite scene in the movie, but I felt like things were getting a bit out of hand after [sp]Trevor decides to feign a hit and run[/sp] Things just got a bit too wacky after that, but the actual conclusion is very satisfying and ties up most loose ends. I'm still just kind of confused why [sp]Ivan looked the way he did (a complete freak) and what the relevance of Trevor being a machinist was in the first place.[/sp] If anyone can explain those to me that'd be cool.

So, planning to watch a movie tonight, Black mass and Sicario is now showing, which one should I watch?

[B]Tomorrowland 3/10[/B] First of all, slightly biased as I think George Clooney is just a horrible and dry actor. Second, Hollywood, I understand our planet isn't in the best of shape but goddamn, go hug a fucking tree. There is so much environmentalism in this movie I wanted to blow my brains out. Still, I liked the concept of the future world and the time traveling.

The worst was that the movie forgets about what I had presumed was going to be the conflict to be resolved ([sp]a superapocalypse that's going to happen in a few days[/sp]) so it can go on a rant about how shit postapocalyptic fiction is and have a happy ending without ever having resolved the larger problem.

Also [sp]the robot did love him[/sp] wow everything turned out perfect!

The device he built showed them a future but no matter what, it would keep changing to always show it'd happen within the timer. realistically, i think it wouldn't have happened even if they didn't destroy it. their concept of destroying it so people couldn't see it there by changing what will be done is wrong because they wouldn't let anyone see it so nothing changed aside from a machine being destroyed.

He's also great in two of my favorite movies, [I]Ocean's 11[/I] and [I]Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?[/I]

I can't stand George Clooney at all. That being said, I liked Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

George Clooney is great in Fantastic Mr. Fox

[B]The Interview[/B] This is the third time I've watched it, still funny start to finish, massively overshadowed by its controversy people forgot it was simply a silly comedy film. James Franco possibly does his greatest performance, there is countless of laugh out loud moments. 9/10 [I]as a comedy film.[/I] [B]Ex_Machina [/B] Again another great film, it made me feel uneasy and tense a lot. I felt the film needed a bigger climax for its tense and unique storyline but nonetheless I finished watching feeling satisfied with the overall story and enjoyed it's small but strong character cast. A few things are left unexplained, however, I feel it adds to the overall depth of the film. A lot of subtle things to look out for throughout. Solid 7/10

[B][I]Kingsman: The Secret Service[/I][/B] Remember all that I said about what I liked about [I]Man From U.N.C.L.E[/I]? That film had some nice action, some pretty good comedy, a great soundtrack, and some nice nods to the older spy movies but kind of suffered in some pacing. This film took everything I liked about [I]Man From U.N.C.L.E.[/I], improved it, stripped out most of the stuff that didn't work and replaced it with things that did work. It's got better action, better comedy, a better soundtrack (when the movie begins with a helicopter blowing stuff up to Dire Strait's "Money for Nothing" it's got my attention), keeps with [I]U.N.C.L.E[/I] in its respect for the old guards of the genre, and has a story that kept me intrigued and surprised me. Of course if there is one thing that I didn't get all the way behind it's the actor playing the protagonist Eggsy. He was pretty good in the action scenes but he never really struck me as all that well in the acting pieces. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt however, considering most of the time he's sharing the screen with great performances from very good actors such as Colin Firth, Samuel L Jackson, Mark Strong, and Michael Caine. Overall I had a lot of fun with it. 7/10

i thought Eggsy was great, so yes, i'd agree that he's probably a bit eclipsed by the greats around him

[b]Me and Earl and the Dying Girl[/b] Despite the tryhard quirkiness, the cinephile pandering (little kids making foreign movie parodies?) and the award bait subject matter, I couldn't dislike it. It was just very endearing. 7/10 And also I got around to watching [b]The Terminator[/b] Very cheesy, very 80s, very shoddy laser CGI, and very enjoyable. Really liked how relentless the movie felt. The T-800 was always, at best, a few minutes away from shooting at them. Also, the endoskeleton was unsettling. 7.5/10 [b]Terminator 2[/b] The special effects got better, but everything else got worse. John Connor was annoying (and not in the intended bratty way). Making a child the main character is always risky. The movie was too bloated, and because of that the sense of danger was mostly gone. [sp]They don't see the T-1000 after the asylum escape until after the skynet labs explode. This makes him feel less dangerous than the first movie's Terminator. I also didn't care about Arnold, so his sacrifice didn't do anything for me despite what the movie wanted me to feel.[/sp] Still had good action and was generally inoffensive, so 6/10

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is the most Sundance-core film I've ever seen in my life

I'm aware, and I feel vaguely bad for liking it when I know what it's trying to do

[QUOTE=Rusty100;48744197]this is like the worst thing ive ever read[/QUOTE] Do you like Terminator 2 more than the first one? Also, my rating is biased, as I went in knowing pretty much all of the film before watching it. The [sp]T-800 being the good guy and the new guy being the bad guy fakeout[/sp] was excellent, but it lost its impact since I knew it was going to happen before I even watched the first movie. I rate according to my enjoyment, and due to no fault of the movie I wasn't able to enjoy it the same way someone in 1991 might have.

[QUOTE=NotAName;48744256]Do you like Terminator 2 more than the first one? [/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure the majority of people like Terminator 2 more than the first one.
