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

[QUOTE=Dunsparce;44902772]Oh ok that makes some sense, I guess. It still really bothered me that they didn't even address it once throughout the whole movie. Like Kitty just explains that she can send consciousness to the past and Wolverine just stands there and thinks "fuck me after everything I've seen I'll buy it" [editline]25th May 2014[/editline] Like I dunno about you but if someone told me they can send my consciousness to the past, I'd want some damn explanation as to how they managed to get this power.[/QUOTE] I dunno about explanation but it's established that they're constantly using it to stay one step ahead of the Sentinels. Remember, in the opening scene she sends Bishop's consciousness back a day or so before they're raided and killed so they can get out in time.

Schindler's List- 10/10 It made my mother cry Happy birthday mom

Watched 28 weeks later for shits n giggles.. again. The movie is slightly inconsistent btw, as in some scenes/things in the movie don't really make sense, but it's still pretty good and screams for continuation. 8/10. [editline]25th May 2014[/editline] Also, getting infected in 28 days/weeks-setting is so fucking easy, it's not even funny. Just a puff of infected blood in the air by a gunshot in near proximity and... can you feel it yet?

Drive, 8.6/10 Watched this on the back of playing Hotline Miami, really well put together and unpredictable story. Fantastic performances all round and some quite moving scenes.

[B]Cabin Fever 3: Patient Zero[/B] Some Young people get sick on a remote Island. Reminds me of the story about abandoned River Country that had an amoeba. Some silly fun for this summer with overuse of makeup. 7/10

Love the characters, the atmosphere. The music worked well with the movie, after all, its all about the 'soul' music and food.

xmen, days of future past it's fucking good, wish it had been a little bit longer tbh. the plot is well-written (time travel leaves some things unexplained but that's inevitable), the acting is pulled off very nicely: it's a very solid marvel movie, go watch it. [sp]those sentinels are fucking brutal[/sp]

License to Kill 4/5 A perfectly acceptable alternate title would have been James Bond: Miami Vice. The segments in Florida were kind of boring, but that's the case with just about any segments in America in the Bond films. All in all, a good movie. It's a shame Dalton didn't do another one, but on the bright side, it did give us Pierce Brosnan and GoldenEye.

[I][B]Non Stop[/B][/I] Had the potential to be clever and interesting but it just [sp]ended in a cliche action movie mess.[/sp] It was worth the watch because I was bored I guess but it was kinda boring and shallow. 5.5/10

GoldenEye 5/5 Fuck yeah. This is the Bond I grew up with, this is the Bond I came to know and love. Skyfall may be the best Bond film in my opinion, but this will be my favorite. It's just incredible fun to watch.

[B]Predator[/B] - 9/10

[B]War Games (1983 original)[/B] - 9.5/10. Fourth time watching it, still a huge classic for me.

it's not that the time travel is confusing, it's just the mechanics behind it go completely unexplained and as such make little to no sense.

z-guys: weekends of yesterday & tomorrow solid 8/10, i am intrigued by the fact that they cut like an hour from the film and hope an extended cut comes out. i think dofp would rank 3rd best in the franchise, behind x2 and first class.

Shame - 8/10 This was a sad movie, but pretty brilliant. The constant long takes combined with nice New York visuals were extremely pretty. Micheal Fassbender and Carey Mulligan's acting were top-notch too. Some of the scenes were unnecessarily long, though. I started to get a bit uninterested when we watch Fassbender jog on a sidewalk for 5 minutes, or walk around his apartment with his schlong swinging around for 10 minutes. Also it was a bad idea to just accept an NC-17 rating, it without a doubt hurt its box office results, considering it couldn't be played in like 95% of the US's theaters. I don't really know why Steve McQueen would accept not letting the film get the acknowledgement it deserves just because he wanted to show Fassbender eat out someone's butthole.

He accepted the NC-17 because it allowed him to tell the story. Shame would have been a weaker film if it was R. It's not silliness to accept the NC-17, it's integrity. McQueen didn't want to censor his film and he put the film together the way he wanted- not to appease to old-fashioned, money-minded men who just want to make a buck and couldn't give a shit about films as an art-form. McQueen didn't set out to make a box office hit with his films Shame or Hunger (although he kinda did with 12YAS, which was by far the weakest of his 3 films, I think that says something). The subject matter alone meant Shame was not going to be a big seller (worth noting though that it is I believe the second highest grossing NC-17 film of all time, behind Showgirls) and I respect that he didn't compromise with it. It's a fantastic film made better by its use of explicit material. Also, I assume you didn't think of this since otherwise I reckon you'd agree with me. But cutting it down to R would remove more than just the graphic sex scenes. It'd censor dialogue (as it definitely gets very explicit but you get a lot of Fassbender's character from literally everything he says) and affect the pacing and storytelling, as well as character development The [sp]gay scene[/sp] may well have been removed entirely but it's absolutely integral to Brandon's character arc. Shame is a near perfect film in my eyes (a 9/10) and would have been ruined with censorship.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;44913360]they're mutants [editline]26th May 2014[/editline] nobody's powers are explained. they just have them.[/QUOTE] yeah but its like if wolverine just happened to gain the ability to breathe fire and everyone was like "ok i guess you can do that no surprises here"

[B]Cry-Baby (Dir. John Waters, 1990)- 8.5/10[/B] I gotta say I did not expect to love this film so much. I thoroughly enjoyed every second from beginning to end. From introducing the characters and their personalities with no dialogue (a song is playing, the only sound you can hear) and just motions etc via lines waiting to get injections in school from a comically large needle, to the hilariously tongue-in-cheek "we're both orphans so we must be together" moment, to Johnny Depp being decieved by a laughing rat, to the thrilling and brilliantly climactic ending... I honestly have no complaints. It's ridiculously cheesy, but in an absolutely hilarious and over the top tongue in cheek way- [I]but it's never annoying![/I] Cry-Baby may be ridiculous but John Waters knows subtlety and doesn't over-indulge. There is just the right amount of silliness and parody of early musicals, combined with rather absurdist humour and plot, and impressively original despite heavily relying on (and often bending) tropes and expectations. Johnny Depp stars as the titular character. His namesake is that he must do one bad thing a day to live up to his father and he cries a single tear each time, as that's all the Squares of Maryland will ever get from him. He is campy as hell and overacts but he is truly great in this role by being "bad" (deliberately!). He falls into the stereotype of the badboy greaser and he has all the charm, stunning good looks (like seriously) and bad-boy flair that one would expect, but he's also friendly and has a big heart. He is a "drape" (essentially a delinquent) but falls for a "square". Cliché, yes. But it's meant to be. The film is a parody but also a homage, Waters clearly enjoys these films but wanted to do something different with it and he definitely succeeded. Absolutely one of the best musicals I've seen, if not [I]the[/I] best. I recommend this to anyone looking for a fun movie. It's absolutely hilarious and has some great songs (the one Depp sings after [sp]he's put in prison[/sp] I especially loved), as well as being original and creative. It reminds me of David Lynch in a lot of ways (it is far more straight forward however) and gains a lot of points for that. At first you might find it a little hard to shake the cheese but realise from the start that it's an inside joke and you'll have a great time from the start. The lines are deliberately bad or cheesy. Don't cringe, just laugh along.

[QUOTE=TheKritter71;44899087]I'm very angry, Jaws has lost the legendary 100 rating on RT. Now it has 98 because of one rotten review. It being one of my favorite movies, it is very displeasing to see it lose a rating like that just because of one rotten review. = [img]http://gyazo.com/06db109b96fd485e64724bd46665926f.png[/img][/QUOTE] I really dislike Jaws for what it did to the image of sharks.

Tomorrow Never Dies 4/5 This was the second Bond film I had ever seen and I remember being blown away by the fact that there was, A: more than one movie, and B: there have been multiple actors in the role. The movie itself is good, but it doesn't have the same feel as GoldenEye, which was very fun and at the same time being very serious with itself. I do genuinely love the climax aboard the stealth boat ([sp]Bond feeding Carver into the drill is very brutal and Daltonesque[/sp]), but everything else is almost forgettable, apart from the car chase in the parking structure. All in all, it's still a good Bond movie, certainly better than the last Moore movies, and at the very least livelier than Dalton's movies. If I had to blame it on anything, it would be John Glen, who made all the 80s movies. His style improved by License to Kill, but he's just not that great. Campbell and Spottiswolde so far have done much better.

[QUOTE=Killuah;44916689]I really dislike Jaws for what it did to the image of sharks.[/QUOTE] That's like me saying I dislike Alien for what it did to the image of penises. It took an already scary thing and made a horror movie about it (Jaws- sharks, Alien- rape). It should be a testament to how effective it is to say that even today Jaws can still make people frightened of shark attacks despite the fact that its concept of a rogue shark is completely false.

I don't see how anyone could hate Jaws, it's a great thriller and one of my favorite movies. No one has said to me Jaws was terrible or they disliked it whenever I showed it in film class. There have been some cases when they said its a bit old but they still like it

Non-Stop 6/10 Totally OK suspense, mysterious, detective-ish thriller the first hour or so. But at the end it kinda just fucked itself over. *Ending Spoilers* [sp]When the Hijacker said "on that day, when 3000 people died including my father..." I just couldn't take the movie seriously anymore.[/sp] First hour 8/10 Last 20 minutes 4/10
