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

Jamie Foxx's electro looks fucking horrific. cant wait for it to be another shitty superhero film that i dont see

Gravity - [b]9/10[/b] I really enjoyed this movie. I have wanted to watch it for a while since I have only heard good things about it and it really delivers a memorable experience. I'm not a huge fan of Sandra Bullock and I think George Clooney was ok earlier in his career(ER, Friends etc.) but I will see both of these actors in a new light from now on. If you have not seen this movie yet, watch it. Most memorable movie from 2013 for me.

Lilo & Stitch - 8/10 Still such a good movie

Need For Speed It's formulaic and predictable, but it was pretty fun. [editline]16th March 2014[/editline] I'm disappointed they didn't do anything extreme in the races though, they were pretty tame. All the crashes were "flip a few times, perhaps burst into flames", but nothing that was unique or memorable.

The new Peabody and Sherman movie. 8/10 I liked it a lot. Has some really great moments and awesome animation. Peabody is possibly the coolest animated cartoon dog ever. I highly recommend this movie.

need for speed a pleasant surprise. schlocky action, but not offensive to your intelligence. just a fun little movie that was pretty competently made. it was exactly what it set out to be. i'd recommend it as a fun night at the cinema

do they do anything further with that film than what Fast & Furious has already done like 20 times?

Her - [b]7/10[/b] It was OK, the movie was bizarre, depressing and weird. I also didn't get why every male in the movie looked like a cross breed between a Pedophile and a Hipster. It's definitely an interesting twist on quite a stale genre. Give it a watch if you enjoy Romance/Sci-Fi movies, otherwise just don't bother.

Theodore was kinda weird looking. I can forgive it though because future style stuff.

dude, he was rockin' the moustache. not many people can pull it off.

Had a mini marathon last night with some friends: Aliens 4/5 Still a great action film, with James Cameron at the top of his game. A Haunted House 2/5 This was not my choice, but I decided to go along with it. Avoid it if you can. I had about one or two chuckles and the stupid shit, and the rest of it was really unfunny. One gag was well executed, but the results were still pretty dumb. Also, it had Nick Swardson in it and I absolutely hate the motherfucker. Hate everything about him. Seriously, fuck that guy. By the end, we all regretted watching it. Blue is the Warmest Color 5/5 The highlight of the evening. It was a beautiful film and incredibly touching, at parts, almost enough to make me cry. The actresses were superb. Apart from "go watch this film," there's not much I can say. I can't quite articulate all my feelings on it. Pulp Fiction 5/5 Not much needs to be said here. LA Confidential 5/5 Or here. A great film all around.

[B]Se7en[/B] It was alright. It seems to gather a ton of praise, but I didn't really understand where it all came from. It was just alright. It might be because it's a surface movie-goer's movie (big budget, big names, big production) but with a "deeper" meaning, which seems to be rare in some of these bigger movies. Still, the plot is fairly predictable, the action scenes feel shoehorned in, the wife character has no purpose except for the ending, and the characters are static. I also just saw Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt running around, not their characters. The one redeeming part of this movie is that the murder scenes are interesting. Overall, if you're the kind of person who just watches big movies but wants to get a start in the deeper world of cinema, give this one a watch. [B]Oldboy[/B] This one was rather good. It was my first South Korean film, and it served as a great introduction to what the Koreans can do. The story was interesting, and the character of Oh Dae-su is pretty interesting. The fight choreography was amazing, and the ending was unexpected. I've heard some really bad things about the Spike Lee remake, so I have no plans for checking that out. Overall, if you like foreign films, give this one a watch. It's nice, exciting, and original.

I think Se7en and other Fincher films get attention in the same way that Nolan does. Imo neither are particularly amazing filmmakers, but they are very solid. Fincher is detrimentally indulgent and Nolan is a dodgy writer who can't do action, despite both of these points being big factors in their films (Fight Club glorifies Tyler to the point where the ending doesn't work and it ruins the entire movie to the point of it being a failure in my eyes. An entertaining, well made failure, but a failure nonetheless. Nolan's action looks like shit and his writing gets cheesy and convoluted) I understand why casual viewers rank them so highly.Their films are easily accessible to the most mainstream viewer, they're often blockbusters or bordering on. But they both layer their films with themes and motifs that provoke thought, even if they can be quite heavy handed (fight club), and considering their audience and scale it's quite impressive. The main thing is that, unlike 99% of blockbusters, they don't assume their audience is stupid. They grant intelligence and allow you to think for yourself in these films. See Fight Club and Inception. Both blockbusters, both heavy handed, but well directed and they both have a strong moral point to them and are thought provoking, allowing just about anyone to watch it and get ~mindfucked~ then feel really smart for understanding the film (even though neither film is confusing at all but w/e. there's just more to them than the average film of their kind) So yea Se7en is a decent flick in the same way I'd say Inception is a decent flick. Pretty standard, predictable, but it has a level of meaning that makes it just a bit better than its counterparts and over time has allowed it to shine due to it being just about the only memorable one of its contemporaries (as in Se7en is basically a generic action-thriller but its religious undertones and ending make it far more memorable than others like it) [editline]16th March 2014[/editline] Oldboy is great too but check out the director's previous film and the first in the Vengeance trilogy, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance. I consider it to be far superior but for some reason it's overlooked, and Oldboy is one of the most famous Asian films.

the corridor fight scene in inception was pretty amazing imo

oh yeah that is pretty good altho quite nauseating but literally any fight scene in the Dark Knight trilogy is fucking awful [editline]16th March 2014[/editline] the first time u see Batman in Begins is transformers level of shakycam wtf is going on-ness

my favorite scene in batman begins is the one where batman fights 10 guys in black armor at night turn the contrast on your tv all the way down for extra batman points

I dunno, stylistically I find Se7en way better than the average thriller. It's incredibly dark and enthralling. not too bothered by predictability, first time I saw it I wasn't expecting Kevin Spacey so... yeah I'm not really expert in noir films but I think it pays a great homage to that kind of atmosphere of classic noirs. I watched it with the commentary (brad pitt, fincher and freeman). The stuff they go through in terms of film technique and mood is just staggering. There's a lot more to it than the first time around. [editline]16th March 2014[/editline] I don't think it's particularly deep, I don't think it's trying to be either tbh but there's definitely a lot to draw in.

Frozen (2013) - I'd say it's a new disney classic

[B]Moonrise Kingdom 8.5/10[/B] A really nice story about how whimsical childhood is and just a overall pretty good movie. The only thing I really disliked about this movie was the lack of character development at certain points throughout the movie.

What a weird coincidence I'd rate it 8/10. Probably prefer Grand Budapest.

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;44255255]Nolan's action looks like shit and his writing gets cheesy and convoluted)[/QUOTE] The whole way he handles Batman is ridiculous to me, movies involving a man in a homo-erotic bat suit, a guy dressed like a clown all the time, a woman in a kinky skin-tight suit with cat ears on the head and a huge bald Pat Roach-look-alike who sounds like Sean Connery sure take themselves [I]very[/I] seriously

I used to be one of those people who thought anything Nolan did was godlike, until I watched Memento. I love Memento, but watching it made me realise how much he's just used the ideas from it over and over again throughout his entire body of work, and to lesser effect. Both The Prestige and Inception play with layers or chronology in the storytelling in order to create some kind of core, hidden secret for the viewer to unravel, which is what Memento was based around. But it doesn't make as much sense in either The Prestige or Inception as it does in Memento, because there's no real reason why the viewer should see the plot like that, at least in Memento it gives a clear sense to the viewer of what Leonard Shelby is experiencing. Also Memento has Guy Pearce and I have a total man crush on that dude.

Need for Speed - 8/10 Went in expecting a movie with a filler plot and good action, and that's what I got, plus a few bonuses. [editline]16th March 2014[/editline] Ironically enough my avatar is from the movie

Hey I see we're talking about some Inception. Paprika: 9/10 go see it.

Paprika's one of my favorite finds. I picked it up at Comicon for 3 bucks and it ended up being one of my favorite movies ever.

Inside Llewyn Davis - 10/10 Another great piece by the Coen Brothers, filled with realism and thick humor. Really captures the early 60s folk music scene well. The best part, at least in my opinion, is that there isn't really a "direction" or ending...it's just a week in the life of a good-not-great folk musician. And it definitely doesn't skimp out on the music. It also sparked an amazing concert film called "Another Day, Another Time", inspired by the songs and featuring such prominent musicians as Jack White and the Avett Brothers. Great pairing.

300: Rise of an empire. I forgot everything except for that sex scene. also the blood in this movie looks like red mud.
