Gone Girl was fuckin rad

Gone Girl. David Fincher has done it again, as always. The soundtrack is amazing as well. Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross know their shit.

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;46138299]Gone Girl 5/5 Honestly, this might have been the darkest movie I have seen in a long, long time. I've yet to see Prisoners or Enemy, so that may change, but to the matter at hand. Holy fuck. I walked a mile in the rain to see this tonight and it was fucking worth every second of it. Fincher delivered. [editline]3rd October 2014[/editline] Also, the father in law played Palmer in The Thing, so that was a cool surprise.[/QUOTE] By darkest do you mean literally? Because there were some shots where I could barely see anything. Because if you mean thematically dark then I disagree, it had a great sense of humour from the midpoint onwards.

[B]Rise of the Planet of the Apes[/B] - 11/10 I watched it for the second time and it is a film I enjoyed immensely. I dunno if it was full of crummy plot holes, but I don't care because I don't wanna spoil how much I enjoyed the film. The human characters were serviceable, but it is the apes are the real stars of the film. From start to end, you follow Caesar as he grows up and you become emotionally attached to him. You want to see him succeed and overcome his challenges. It think it's wonderful how they created emotion and character with a 3D animation, grunts, and sign language dialogue. I thought the film looked wonderful. You can tell the film makers used high quality cameras and software. It also helped being on blue ray and a 720P HDTV. The cinematography is great. It was spectacular seeing the camera rotate around the ape acrobatics. The lighting was very atmospheric. You either had blue lighting for a sterile and corporate lab office, creepy green for the ape zoo prison, and sunset orange to create a poignant setting of hope and longing. Some of the shots in the film were breathtaking vistas that would be awesome for a computer background. I mean, it was really triumphant seeing Caesar reach the tree tops and his view over San Francisco. I enjoyed the sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. I am hungry for more Planet of the Apes films as long as they are made by the same studio with a consistent vision and quality.

Insidious 4/10 That was a mess and all over the place

[QUOTE=Killuah;46139148]Insidious 4/10 That was a mess and all over the place[/QUOTE] I recently watched this movie, and I literally laughed my ass off during the gas mask part Are people really scared by this kinda movie, that's what I wonder, and how

I wanted to laugh but I was watching with friends and they were scared or at least said so and I didn't want to ruin their experience.

Insidious is the best comedy of whatever year it was released in.

[QUOTE=Scot;46138842]By darkest do you mean literally? Because there were some shots where I could barely see anything. Because if you mean thematically dark then I disagree, it had a great sense of humour from the midpoint onwards.[/QUOTE] I meant thematically, even with the rather funny bits. That's just how I felt right after seeing the movie. In hindsight, it's probably not the darkest movie, but when I walked out of that theater, I was fucking shocked by a lot of it.

[B]22 Jump Street[/B] Definetly not as memorable as the first one, but it still has some really good moments. I think the main problem is that the drug investigation aspect wasn't that good. Still a very solid movie. I'd say 7.5/10

[b]Beyond the Black Rainbow[/b] A beautiful, well-designed movie with a very simple plot, too simple, even. I can see why people would find it boring or even downright sleep-inducing. It could've been more, it could have been a really good horror film, but after reading the interview with the director I can see why it wasn't. Watch it if you don't mind slow pacing and the whole "style-over-substance" thing, otherwise, steer clear.

[editline]3rd October 2014[/editline] Also, the father in law played Palmer in The Thing, so that was a cool surprise.[/QUOTE] going to see this tonight; i know approximately jack shit about it (literally haven't seen any trailers or any material whatsoever, poster included) i'm excited also prisoners is really good and consistently depressing

The trailers themselves have been remarkably spoiler free, in my opinion, but it's good to go in blind in this case.

I feel like I'll go watch Gone Girl next week. For now I saw [B]The Equalizer[/B]. As far as mindless action movies go, this was pretty decent. It's sad they didn't use practical effects for that little amount of gore that was in the movie. At least they [I]equalized[/I] the lack of proper gore by the effectiveness of Denzel's character. I dare to say this movie is Commando: Home Depot Edition. Also this was my first Denzel movie.

[B]Awakenings[/B] mental patient hospital film, you'll always find the benchmark film to be Cuckoo's Nest but what we have here is something a bit different. Here we focus on actual therapy and Robin Williams with De Niro makes a dynamite film. I'm getting the sense that towards the end of the 80s until the mid-ish 90s there were A FUCKLOAD of films where high profile actors were portraying a mental health case and then go on to win awards for it. This is no different except it didn't win anything and kind of got forgotten about tbh. Now I still don't fully understand the condition, I thought it was some kind of parkinson's related illness but it's weird because as De Niro grew up, he was normal and then suddenly turned totally empty and lost, he can't move. Mr Robin Williams here is absolutely fantastic. He has a lot in common with his character in Good Will Hunting but here things are slightly dialed down and he's much more approachable and trustworthy imo Don't get me wrong m8, Good Will Hunting is good, but for me I never got as much out of it as I wanted. I think this film went to the next level because it has this "spiritual awakening" storyline and you really get the sense that what Robin Williams did was activate the divine in De Niro very briefly and this in turn changed himself. That's kind of a spoiler but it's ok because this movie is the shit. Feels very 70s too, for a 90s film.

[QUOTE=Killuah;46139148]Insidious 4/10 That was a mess and all over the place[/QUOTE] could've worked perfectly if it was a cheesy sam raimi style film, it had the perfect elements for it with the comical ghostbuster guys, the stereotypical demon and the exorcism stuff, such a shame it took itself so seriously

[B]Horns - 6/10[/B] This movie is not perfect, by any means. That said, it's still pretty entertaining, especially the first half. It has an amusing and funny novelty to it that I don't see that often. The movie also maintains a surprising amount of heart for a batshit crazy, "we don't take it seriously either" premise. It loses points in the second half, though. Several twists and character developments feel like lazy and rushed writing and just don't make very much sense. Lots of things leave you scratching your head and going "Wait...what?" Still worth watching, though. Daniel Radcliff is fun in IDGAF revenge mode.

Filth-9/10 What starts out as almost a movie about a dick cop just trying to work his way up the ladder slowly turns into one of the darkest and deepest delves into insanity and loss I've ever seen. James McAvoy is a complete asshole in it, but also amazingly conveys the insanity and emotion of his character, continuing to cement his role as my favorite actor.

[B]How to Train Your Dragon 2[/B] - 9/10 good stuff, I just wish I hadn't had two of the biggest plot points spoiled beforehand

Gone Girl - 8.5/10 The trailer sure did a good job of not spoiling anything about the movie, and still look really interesting. It had some really good social commentary on the media and how it can completely ruin someone. Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pikes were both great. [sp]I thought Pike's acting was kind of fake sounding in the first quarter of the movie but it all made sense when the twist came.[/sp] And the movie was surprisingly really funny during the second half. Actor of the year goes to that cat though

Gone Girl - 9.5/10 I went in knowing practically nothing about this movie, including run time, and when one of the people to our back pointed out after the movie that it's been 3 hours, I was genuinely surprised. I'm normally not the type to not notice time pass like that but I was so engrossed in this movie that I somehow thought it was too short because I just wanted more. Always been a huge fan of David Fincher, and this might be my favorite film of the year. I kept trying to outsmart this movie, I kept trying to predict what was going to happen next but it just bested me at every turn. About the ending [sp]A lot of the people in my theater didn't like it, heard a lot of complaints about how "the bad guy won." Personally I really liked the ending, and I don't really see it as a bad guy winning, but more or less two fucked up people that still might have a chance of working out. That despite all the crazy shit, they're staying together, for better or for worse. Probably for worse, but still there's something kind of beautiful in that[/sp] [sp] Also this movie made me realize I had a fetish for cold and calculative bitches [/sp] [sp] Which would explain my dating history- HEYO, I'm just kidding don't tell anyone I said that[/sp]

Gone Girl was tight, but the movie cut out for like 15 minutes and they gave us a voucher for a "free medium popcorn" fuckin' audio for Noah was wonky for literally 3 minutes in the beginning and they gave us our money back, but you make me sit in your shit theater for 15 minutes ruining all flow and tension of the movie, constantly flip the lights back on to ask the audience if the fuckin' movie's working yet, and you give me a MEDIUM POPCORN i threw that shit away, fuck you

I've only been to one movie that had a technical problem and that was The Counselor. The projector exploded or something.

That's a good double feature.

planes trains and automobiles-10/10 a masterpiece

Donnie Darko = 10/10 The Butterfly Effect = 8/10

Frank Quirky, wacky, incredible emotional and hilarious at times, but most importantly - extremely original. I think the meaning was a bit lost in the film, or it wasn't meant to have one - either way, it's going to be a cult classic, especially after Domhnall Gleeson and Scoot McNairy will become big in a few years, their work and [sp]Fassbender's[/sp] was just stellar.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;46153736]It was, but the movies were voted on. Just pick the two best movies and they'll play them. They could have shown Alien, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead or Psycho, but the votes were pretty much all NOTLD and The Shining. I voted for Dawn of the Dead and Alien. I dunno, I LOVE The Shining, but it seems more like a movie you should watch in the dead of winter. Just my opinion, though.[/QUOTE] Christ, that line-up. No matter who wins, you're still getting a good double feature.

I think Rainbow Dash was added in there by Hasbro, not Bay himself. Have you forgotten Transformers is a hasbro product

Silmido - 7/10 [video=youtube;2dxOtrwUYF0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dxOtrwUYF0[/video] I quite like it, in fact, I love korean war movies. Gritty, realistic, and you feel the characters and their emotions. Brotherhood was a fucking good movie too. Not to forget, the effects in the movie was superb.
