Rate The Last Movie You Watched - This Thread Took 12 Years To Make Edition - General

Perhaps. If they meant for that character to come off as cocky and annoying, then they did a good job. But that wasn't my only problem. I can't help but think Burt's character changed for the worse. Two scenes in particular. First, [sp]When he shot an ass-blaster and it landed on a guy and killed him; I didn't think he was the type of guy to be indifferent about someone dying, especially when it was partly his fault.[/sp] Second, [sp]When he was stuck in the cage. Having him pour piss on himself and going crazy only after spending twelve hours in there wasn't funny and didn't add anything. And Burt's better than that.[/sp] It lacks the humor that the other movies had. Let's just put it at that.

[QUOTE=Loadingue;48945450]Speaking of Scorsese. [B]The Departed[/B] (Martin Scorsese, 2006) 9.5/10 I heard it was good, but I didn't expect that good. I don't know where to begin, everything is just really good. The actors, the characters, the dialogues, the thrill, the ending... It's an almost perfect mixture of everything that makes American crime films great. Right now, I'd think it's the best Scorsese film I've seen... but I think Shutter Island is still my favorite. For now.[/QUOTE] It's not my favorite Scorsese (that undeniably goes to Taxi Driver), but it is my favorite 21st century crime movie (unless you count Drive as a crime movie). Really great, if any of you haven't seen it yet, definitely check it out.

Freddy vs Jason - 7/10 Yeah, I'm comfortable going to bat for this movie, especially considering some of the Friday the 13th films that came before it. Yes, the effects are lacking. Yes, the characters are one-dimensional, even by slasher movie standards. Yes, some of the acting is atrocious. But all of that is negated by the fact that it's Jason Voorhees having an honest-to-god fight with Freddy Krueger. It's cheese levels are off the charts and slasher movies aren't high-brow entertainment but honestly, I still really enjoyed this.

Just went to see The Lobster, really funny at times, dark at others but a really solid film with some fantastic performances. Really unsettling throughout and the soundtrack helped that along. (4/5) What did you guys think about it? I'm still trying to wrap my head around it a bit.

Inside out. Meh out of ten. I don't know how people rated it so highly, the stakes never felt high because of how shoehorned the sadness was. I wanted more interaction between other people

Insidious chapter 3 - 5/10 So many fucking jumpscares, very few actual scary or menacing moments like in the first film. I cringed at the main character, Elise, saying "come on bitch!!" towards what was probably the most unsettling character from the first film. The film's audio seems to be quiet during the conversations and moments where a skeleton isn't popping out, so you turn the volume up only for the skeleton to make his appearance and cause your speakers to deafen anyone in a 50-metre radius. The end of the film sees not one BUT TWO spooky faces make a cameo - only one of these cheeky chappies is not a jumpscare and is actually quite unsettling, meaning that the franchise still has the ability to spook you, making you wonder why the rest of the film couldn't manage to do so.

[B]Bridge Of Spies[/B] was pretty good. I wasn't really familiar with the true story so I found it to be super interesting. Good humor the few times it was funny. It was definitely a slow paced movie, so if you're planning on seeing it just be prepared for that. Interesting too that they didn't use subtitles at all, and there's quite a bit of German and Russian spoken throughout the film. It's done really well though, you can get the context of whats going on without knowing anything but English, and the parts that are most important to the story are all in English. Just an interesting way to go about a movie, not treating the audience like they are idiots who need every little detail narrated and explained for them. I appreciated that.

I was fearing it may be another espionage movie that you have to watch 2 or 3 times to fully understand everything that went down.

American Sniper: 5/10 It was alright, but it had some severe pacing problems. The first 30 minutes or so is very disjointed and just random segments of his life. Also it was really hard to tell how time was going because he joins right as 9/11 happened, but then his first tour of duty he's in Fallujah which is in 2003 and his fourth tour of duty is in like 2013, so I don't know what the fuck is happening. I will say I feel like Clint Eastwood was trying to get across a message. Which is; Legend worshiping isn't a good thing. I think this because its constantly showing how being a Sniper is constantly fucking with him and making him jaded. In-fact there's a scene where a Marine that fought with him his praising him full-blown in every way and Chris Kyle is hardly addressing him and being very distant. I don't know how people interpreted that as super patriotic because its showing that Legendary people are still just people, and the thing that is causing him to be a legend is severely fucking with his psyche.

The Martian: 9/10 Awesome movie, lots of humor despite the circumstances the protagonist finds himself in and a shitload of tense scenes, absolutely one of my favorite movies of this year. Would recommend especially if you like accurate spacey and sciencey shit. Matt Damon did a wonderful job in this movie

[B]True Romance[/B] (Tony Scott, 1993) [B]9.9/10[/B] ^ This is the highest rating I've ever given to a film in this thread. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it's an amazing, modern, stylish romance so brilliantly written like only Tarantino could, and directed perfectly faithfully and masterfully. The best film I've ever seen as far as I can recall. And believe me, I wouldn't say this lightly.

That alone makes it pretty awesome.

Secret of the Kells: 8/10 It's [I]really[/I] short, but still has enough in it to make it feel longer than it is, but in a good way. Still prefer Song of the Sea tho

[QUOTE=simkas;48953497]That movie has Gary Oldman playing a rastafarian drug dealer. That alone makes it pretty awesome.[/QUOTE] And that sentence alone makes me wanna watch it.

[QUOTE=AltF4 All Day;48952804]Goodfellas??? Actually I'm not one to talk, Raging Bull is my favorite Scorsese movie.[/QUOTE] I've seen Goodfellas, it was quite good, but definitely not as good. I even preferred Casino over Goodfellas, and they're the same kind of movies. [editline]21st October 2015[/editline] By the way guys, True Romance really is a Tarantino movie. It's a shame it doesn't get as much recognition because he didn't direct it, but he wrote it and Tony Scott directed it in true Tarantino style. [editline]21st October 2015[/editline] I'd also like to say how fucking amazing the scene between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper is. It was so fucking funny and tense at the same time, absolutely brilliant bit of cinema.

I just got back from watching[B] Back to the Future I and II[/B] in the cinema. 10/10, obviously. Seen them countless times, but first time seeing them in the cinema. Highlights include: -Everyone clapping at the ends of the movies (why did that american trend come over here) -Everyone whooping and hollering when Doc Brown said "October 21st 2015" -Massive laughter when the teaser for Part III at the end of Part II said "Coming 1990" I love BTTF, and I'm glad to have seen the better of the 2 movies in an actual cinema.

Back to the Future - 9/10 Back to the Future II - 8/10 Rewatches of course, but still great. Pretty much the cream of the crop in terms of Hollywood blockbusters

Really wish I would've remembered today was BTTF day earlier. Would've liked to go to a theater for it.

not as good as the first two but still good

Yeah, I love Part III, don't get me wrong, it's just the weakest of the trilogy.

[QUOTE=Bathtub;48955192]not as good as the first two but still good[/QUOTE] imo i find it at times being better than part 2 even though all three films are basically the same thing over and over, the differences in setting help a lot. i'm a big fan of westerns, so that's why bttf3 gets big brownie points from me.

[B]Cowboy Bebop: The Movie[/B] - 8/10 Basically a bigger episode of the show; I love [I]Bebop[/I] so that was fine by me. It's got all the ingredients that made the show great - mystery, mystics, deadly villains, snappy banter, great action, humor, and of course jazz. I have a few nitpicks - Jet sounded a little off and something was weird with the transfer (I could see dirt and smudges on cels which was distracting) but overall it was excellent. Now I just need to watch the last few episodes of the show...

Crimson Peak - 3/10 I expected a creepy supernatural horror but I got a bland murder plot that just happens to have a few ghosts here and there.

I rewatched the Back to the Future trilogy on the theaters. A bunch of these are odd nitpicks I made out of... well... nothing to do inbetween movies. Here's some things I noticed: - Elisabeth Shue was really underused in Part 2. The sequence where she goes 'I'M OLD!' was really funny. Shows she had a lot to offer, if only she wasn't shoved aside so roughly when the movie gets to the second act. - Lea Thompson's performance in that middle part of Part 2, in 1985B, was fucking amazing. She managed to portray so much with so little. Again, really underused, deserved more time in the spotlight. The moment where she goes 'he was right and I was wrong' made me a little teary, even. - I always wondered how weird was it that when Marty comes back to the present in Part 1 he wears a Huey Lewis song about going back in time. Then I notice that he has a poster of 'Sports', a Huey Lewis album, on his room. - Part 3's problem is the pacing of the romance scenes. The movie crawls to a stop whenever Doc and Clara share a scene. Which sucks, because they share a chemistry most movie leads lack these days. - Anyone notice how progressive the future in Part 2 is? The only cops you see are women and the USA Today newspaper mentions the president is a woman. - Does the fact that Back to the Future Part 3 was released in 1990 makes it a double period piece? (for 1885 and 1985) - The young actor that plays Verne seems to be on the verge of a freakout in his scenes. - There's a mention in the back of a newspaper in 1985B that Nixon is seeking a fifth term and promises to end the Vietnam war by 1985. Now, if Biff's influence fucked shit up so much that a fifth term is possible and the Vietnam war was still raging by the 80's, wouldn't it be sane to admit that at some point the almanac would stop giving off the right answers, or would the answers just change? Also, how rich would Biff have to get to be able to change the American political system without getting people to go 'isn't it weird how this guy knows the results to a bunch of sporting matches'? - Whilst there are some really obvious echoes (how every movie has a courthouse square chase, a Marty enters the bar scene, Marty mistaking a character played by Lea Thompson for his mother, etc) there were some cool little echoes that I only noticed now: like how, in Part 3, when they get the train to the DeLorean, the 'DeLorean reveal shot' is the same as Part 1. - Part 2's product placement gets to a point where it's almost grating. - Considering Old!Marty's voice is different from Young!Marty, shouldn't the house go "wait whu" when Young!Jennifer says 'lights on'? - I hate the fact that Parts 2 and 3 are built on this sudden character trait that Marty gets with the whole 'chicken' thing. It may seem like a natural outcome, but it still seems to come out of nowhere. - Alan Silvestri deserves a thousand awards for the soundtrack. - And finally, something that sorta bugs me. So, in the end of Part 1, our Marty (let's call him Marty A) goes back to the mall and sees another Marty (which we'll call Marty B) go back in time. Now, this is a reality where George and Loraine met through George beating up Biff and where the mall is the Lone Pine- both things that come out of Marty A's interactions with the past. So when Marty B arrives back in time, what will he change? Because for him to push his father out of the way of the car, this would have to be the Twin Pines Mall timeline, right? - And since Marty A came back to the Lone Pine Mall timeline, shouldn't Doc and Marty go back to 1985A when they travel back from the future?
