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

Triangle - 7.5/10 at first I thought it would be yet another slasher horror movie, but by the end, it blew my mind by its intricacy and turned out to be more of a mystery than a horror.

Stoker It came off a little cheesy and cliche at times but the great imagery, performances and interesting story made me enjoy it quite a bit.

The Wolf of Wall Street I don't know what I think about this movie. I felt really fucking uncomfortable by the end of the film, and I get it, that's part of the point and I usually like films about shitty people doing shitty things and getting into shitty situations, but this seemed like a sensory overload of shitty things happening.

Lego movie 9.5/10 ITS LIKE MY GOD DAMN CHILDHOOD CAME TO LIFE.

I'm really really confused. The trailers for the Lego movie just looked like they tried to cram as many franchise characters in there as possible and now it gets reviews almost TOO good left and right.

it's actually just two hours of some guy hypnotising the audience into telling everyone to go see the lego movie

[B]eternal sunshine of the spotless mind - 8.5/10[/B] seemed a bit slow for me at the beginning but i eventually became pretty invested in it i fucking love this movie's soundtrack

Wolf of Wall Street, Pretty damn funny and a good story, I felt it was a little drawn out though, probably could have been shortened by half an hour or so 8/10

It's much easier to get asses in seats by using the knee-jerk recognition of "Hey, it's Superman, Michelangelo, and Shaquille O'Neal!" than promoting the (intentionally) generic construction worker lead. Outside of Batman the licensed characters/sets don't have that great of an impact. There's more focus on generic lines like "City" or "Wild West" than "DC Superheroes" or "Speed Racer". There is certainly cramming, but it takes the form of sight gags, background cameos, funny lines, and so on. Each shot has something interesting going on, and I feel like it's going to be great to watch this again to pick up on all the little details.

I thought the first 10-20 minutes of Escape from New York were great, but it lost me somewhere in the middle.

The Lego Movie - 10/10 This movie tickled my nostalgia bone like no other. Never in my entire life did I imagine such an amazing movie coming from a simple construction toy.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;43864694]The Secret-0/10 Worst fucking documentary I have ever seen.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't even touch that thing with a 10 ft pole Anything hinting at "secret and unknown knowledge" is going to be trash like scientology

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;43864694]The Secret-0/10 Worst fucking documentary I have ever seen.[/QUOTE] I had a teacher that made all of his classes watch that movie, every year. He doesn't just make us watch it too, we had to do a powerpoint, a paper, a vision board and all sorts of other gay shit for it. He brought it up at every opportunity he had too. Naturally it became a running joke for the entire school, saying stuff like "Oh just use the secret, bro, you got this".

so it's like the documentary equivalent of The Room?

Gallipoli (1981) - [B]7/10[/B] Had to watch it for a class. Interesting movie. Extremely slow-moving for the first hour. By the end, though, it's delivered a surprisingly powerful message about loss of innocence and the realities of war. In particular, there is a scene halfway through the movie where the Australian soldiers conduct a mock charge on an enemy trench, firing blanks and play-fighting with each other. In the climax of the movie, they do the same thing, except it's real bullets being fired, and they're all being slaughtered in a matter of seconds. Brutal... Super young Mel Gibson was funny, though. And the 80s synth soundtrack is just...what the fuck?

Jackass: Bad Grandpa It wasn't great, nor was it bad is all I can say, I guess.

What is The Secret even about

It's a secret.

[QUOTE=Yogkog;43866134]What is The Secret even about[/QUOTE] "everything one wants or needs can be satisfied by believing in an outcome, repeatedly thinking about it, and maintaining positive emotional states to "attract" the desired outcome." Basically if you've ever seen a motivational poster with the tag "Believe" you've seen the whole movie. It's just a movie cashing in on vulnerable and gullible people with insecurities by telling them to believe they can win the lottery and they'll eventually win it. The entire movie has no heart and it reeks of bullshit. How our teacher didn't see that the 100th time he watched it is beyond me. Good documentaries are made by people who obviously love and/or care about what they're talking about. oh hey 200th post. holla

Robocop (2014) It's...bleh. It isn't as horrible as I thought it would be, but it's still bad. A horrible, horrible performance by Joel Kinnawhatever. He has absolutely NO screen presence whatsoever. The movie throws away the original's themes of privatization of public services (OCP no longer owns the cops), corporate megalomaniac greed, and the concept of what it is to be human (with Murphy gradually reaching back through the machine). Instead it's a hamfisted commentary on modern day drone usage sprinkled with forced sentimentality and shmaltzy "the human soul is the most powerful thing" yadda yadda yadda. This movie can't go five lines without mentioning the word "drone" HOLY SHIT WE GET IT GOD DAMN Or LOOK AT MURPHY'S FAMILY, LOOK HOW SAD THEY ARE THAT HE'S ROBOT and holy fucking shit the actress playing Murphy's wife constantly looks like she's on the verge of bursting into a god damn fucking noah's ark tsunami of tears every second she's on screen. The satirical news segments are replaced by the Samuel L. Jackson Power Hour, in which his sole purpose is to make a theater of idiots clap when he finally spouts his classic line of "motherfucker" toward the end of the movie. Because these days, Jackson has been demoted into nothing but a funny man who yells angrily and drops F-bombs!!! Oh, and the theme song appears twice in the movie. In the opening (that is, after the opening sequence where suicide bombers in Tehran fight OCP's drones HOW TOPICAL), where we're blasted with a dubstep remix of the theme, and later during the Samuel L. Jackson Power Hour. The credits? You know what plays during the credits? [I]I Fought the Law.[/I]

Doesn't Samuel L. Jackson exist for the sole purpose of being a loud, angry, cuss-happy black man? [editline]11th February 2014[/editline] I also really hate it when a movie tries to skimp on real emotional connections by having the main character have a 10-year-old kid.

[QUOTE=Diet Kane;43867504] The credits? You know what plays during the credits? [I]I Fought the Law.[/I][/QUOTE] Seriously? Oooh, that's so new age cinematic and modern and... who am I kidding, that's just queer. Give me Basil's clanking industrial themes any day.

one musical choice i did like was the hocus pocus. but the originals ost by basil is still 100x better. [editline]11th February 2014[/editline] and I agree totally about the lead's lack of on screen presence. I can tell they tried to pick somebody... just as non-classically handsome (read: strange lookin) as the original. but peter weller has so much charisma and charm, even when he's autonomous, something the new dude is so far lacking it almost dips into the negatives. and why did they change his partner to a man? i feel like these two movies had a role reversal here, it totally seems like something a new movie would do to swap out a man for a woman for no reason. but they nonsensically did it the other way around. I guess because of the more prominent inclusion of murphy's wife (WHICH SUCKED), and have the crooked lieutenant be a black woman, and boy, you can't go over your woman quota, by gosh! and what was with the literal 5 second cameo of weller? it was so throwaway, even for a cameo. the thing I didn't like the most out of all the pointless and for the worse changes they made, it was that they had to ask his wife if they could do what they did, and then that he had humanity right from the get go. only to have it disabled later on, making it's grand re-entrance into his circuitry a hell of a lot less exciting. because we know it's always there, just being subdued by low dopamine. rather than overcoming a total brain wipe and literally just being a computer, he overcomes low levels of dopamine. wow! amazing! way to go, robo! who needs human spirit seeping it's way into and overriding machinery when you can just up your own dopamine levels. now that's writing! to the movies credit though, the scene where his robot parts are stripped away did give me the willies. just trying to imagine seeing yourself in that way is really disturbing. i think that was the one neat idea they had, throughout the whole film.

I'm not even kidding. Yet, it would feel strange to have Snake Plissken without Kurt Russel. But I guess I said the same about Mel Gibson in Mad Max, but after seeing Tom Hardy in costume I was sold completely.

Shouldn't this thread at least allow video games with cinematic values, such as mgs cutscenes, telltale games, heavy rain etc. I watched injustice as a movie, I give it a 8/10, if that counts

If you finish The Last of Us you can look at all the cutscenes as a movie. Like play them all at once. Not done it yet but it's about 90 minutes, im interested to see if it actually works edited for terrible structure cos phone. better now

90 mins of a 15 hour game won't give you the full story.
