Rate The Last Movie You Watched - April V3 - no tv shows - General

its so fucking awful in every day. and it's a different writer and director, so it's nothing even like the first one

Monsters University 7.5/10 Pretty enjoyable. It was a bit safe [sp] as a classic underdog story, but I liked how it didn't end with them being perfectly successful[/sp]. Looked absolutely amazing on my LED TV. That global illumination tech really makes it look great.

Did a Die Hard Marathon 1,3,2,5/4 If you disagree you're wrong

for like the 3rd time, that order isnt an opinion, its a fact.

What Rusty said. I'm pretty sure it was in the Bible tbh [editline]3rd November 2013[/editline] yeah here it is John 3:14: [I]"Thou shall watch Die Hards in thy divine order, 1, followed by 3, 2, and 4 and 5 don't really matter so do whatever you want I guess I don't know."[/I]

Captain Phillips 9/10 Fucking amazing.

Pan's Labyrinth Wow/10 I mean I like literally every Guillermo del Toro film I've seen but this was extremely good. A very pretty movie in a lot of ways, it just felt as "magical" or whatever as the setting needed without going into like, kid's movie territory. I dunno if the acting was really great considering I can't judge it as well since I don't speak fluent Spanish, but it seemed very solid from what I could get out of it. Interesting as hell in terms of setting, story, every thing.

[B]The Croods[/B] - 9/10 [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/72/The_Croods_poster.jpg[/img] This movie was [I]really[/I] grood. Beautiful art, animation with real motion and weight, a sense of wonder and adventure, fantastic humor, and heart-warming goodness. Sometimes the trope of "overprotective father/adventurous, rebellious daughter/love interest that father doesn't like" got a bit old, and some of the supporting cast was a bit one-note, but this movie magic kept me engrossed and invested like I was a kid again. I laughed, I cried... it moved me, Bob.

Although I feel like the movie lacked something, it isn't as fulfilling once you watch it again.

Finally saw Cloud Atlas, went in with mediocre expectations and was completely blown away. I mean, wow. Your primitive human rating system can't encompass how much I loved this movie. Maybe it's the hype of having just seen it, but for me personally, it's earned a place in my top ten. Some other recent ones: Ender's Game: 8/10 - thoughtful adaptation of a thoughtful book. Almost excessive use of CGI, but I enjoyed it. Mulholland Drive: 9/10 - Silencio. Dark City: 7.5/10 - This movie seems like it's stuck in the wrong era. A sci-fi love letter to old film noir that makes Blade Runner seem subtle, it would have been a cult hit in the 70's or 80's (I guess t was a cult hit anyway in the 90's). However, it relies a lot on CGI special effects that weren't advanced enough for what it was trying to accomplish. During the last act, the camera cuts so frequently that it's jarring and almost unwatchable, like skimming through a comic book as quickly as possible. Still, overall, I liked it. Ivan's Childhood: 9/10 - I have a sweet tooth for Tarkovsky. Construction Suspension Order (Short film from the animated compilation "Neo Tokyo"): 8.5/10 - I'd like to see someone try to adapt this to a full-length film.

[/QUOTE] "camera movements" & "the CGI wasn't modern enough" this makes it worse than Ender's Game :/

I should watch Dark City again the first time it was at like 2 in the morning and I don't remember anything about it

it's a modern classic, aesthetically so precise and it's just through and through a heck of a film. It's deemed by imbeciles as just a "gloomy" film with a bit of action..

I heard Enders Game got crappified. Please tell me this isn't true Also why is it Pg13?

[b]Coriolanus[/b] (2011): This is probably my favourite play written by Shakespeare and I really enjoyed that version. It was a solid adaptation and Baz Luhrman's version of Romeo and Juliet it actually worked well in modern times. While I respect the decision about saving original dialogue, I'll admit it was campy at times, cringe-worthy and out of place (you can get used to this after 20 minutes). A little bit of artistic liberty in terms of language and story, reshaping it more for modern times, could do some good for entire film. For someone who have never read or saw this play it might be unwatchable solely because of this. Overall, it's solid 8 out of 10. Amazing performances, really.

[QUOTE=blooregardo;42755328]Mulholland Drive: 9/10 - Silencio.[/QUOTE] Such a good film, possibly my favourite.

[QUOTE=geel9;42750998]Captain Phillips 9/10 Fucking amazing.[/QUOTE] Saw the trailer in the cinema and was amazed by the actors of the pirates. Defo going to watch it.

Rewatched john carpenters The Thing again 9,5/10. Great movie. Do any of you watched "Taken 2" Ive watched the first one some time ago and I loved it i didnt even know the second one was out untill now is it worth a watch?

its terrible

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;42758127]its terrible[/QUOTE] Terrible as in not even worth a casual watch when ur bored?

[QUOTE=Killuah;42757942]Saw the trailer in the cinema and was amazed by the actors of the pirates. Defo going to watch it.[/QUOTE] There was a single tear shed by me in the end. I have never, EVER cried at a movie.

[QUOTE=Stephen427sf;42758201]Terrible as in not even worth a casual watch when ur bored?[/QUOTE] Why watch a bad movie when you can watch a good movie instead?

Mullholland Drive is a masterpiece. Need to watch it again. Safety Not Guaranteed- 3/5 Enjoyed this a fair amount, not amazing but it was pretty good. It was nice. I really liked the ending tbh despite a lot of people hating it. I wasn't sure of Aubrey Plaza's performance, I can't tell if she was bad or nailed it. Indian dude was terrible. Jeff's story was the best part of the film, imo. One thing I really liked about this though is that although, technically, it's a film about time travel (or more reporters trying to get info from a time traveller) it's a story about love and taking risks. Each of the reporters go through their own trial of love and all 3 have to take that risk. There's crazy commitment and trust required between Darius and Kenneth. Time travel wasn't just time travel... It means the journey through life. Would you rather go through life alone and lost, or with someone you love who will support you through thick and thin, and all the ups and downs, til the end? Hell Kenneth essentially says that exact thing on his monologue about needing a partner for time travel. A nice little film with a sweet message and good ideas. Yeah, I recommend this.

god I seriously don't know how anybody enjoyed cloud atlas. it was almost so bad it was funny, if it wasn't just tragic. haphazard, uninteresting stories that really reach to have anything in common, horrible HORRIBLE acting, and very mediocre direction. wachowskis havent made something GENUINELY good since matrix one. i like reloaded but it's sort of a guilty pleasure.

[QUOTE=Stephen427sf;42758112]Rewatched john carpenters The Thing again 9,5/10. Great movie. [/QUOTE] Did that one today as well. 5/5, for me. Amazing horror film.

It's either the greatest movie ever made or pile of doodie. I still need to see it, I was reading the book but haven't picked it up in about a year because one of the stories is really boring.

Just watched the short film from the 60s, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge. Really nice short film. Quite intense throughout, with essentially zero dialogue. I can't really think of much to say about it right now, but you should definitely check it out.

Personally I found Cloud Atlas just 'okay' and forgettable. Although the Wachowskis' reaction to the polarising response was pretty funny. [I]"(a)s soon as (critics) encounter a piece of art they don't fully understand the first time going through it, they think it's the fault of the movie or the work of art. They think, 'It's a mess ... This doesn't make any sense.' And they reject it, just out of an almost knee-jerk response to some ambiguity or some gulf between what they expect they should be able to understand, and what they understand."[/I] [I]"(p)eople will try to will Cloud Atlas to be rejected. They will call it messy, or complicated, or undecided whether it's trying to say something New Agey-profound or not. And we're wrestling with the same things that Dickens and Hugo and David Mitchell and Herman Melville were wrestling with. We're wrestling with those same ideas, and we're just trying to do it in a more exciting context than conventionally you are allowed to. ... We don't want to say, 'We are making this to mean this.' What we find is that the most interesting art is open to a spectrum of interpretation."[/I] lol

Pulp Fiction- 9/10 as always Watched it with my mom for the first time. She recorded the cut-for-TV version because she's always been iffy with language so I had to explain some stuff to her, but it was interesting to see how they glossed over all the curses. Now I want to watch it unedited again.
