Thor99 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Not sure that a 3D Blu-Ray of I, Robot is necessary. Also, I liked Prometheus, but it felt like they really missed a chance to make a truly great sci-fi flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) The Theater Bizarre was a nice find during horror movie month. Wrong Turn 5 was surprisingly bad. Edited October 21, 2012 by SenorGato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 If you want to see a spy movie also written by a former British agent, but significantly more realistic, check out the recent Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. John le Carré is the master. Warning: if you have even a shred of ADHD, putting this movie on your television will result in you hanging yourself from the ceiling fan.

C-Mart28 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Just saw Argo, really great movie. I gotta give Affleck credit, didn't think much of him before he started directing, but now I cant wait to see what he does next as he only gets better each time out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Also, I liked Prometheus, but it felt like they really missed a chance to make a truly great sci-fi flick. Any hint at an explanation as to why the creators wanted to kill the human race would have been nice... the one that was awoken just ran around and rampaged.. was hoping for a little more clarification.

T0mShane Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Rented "[something] A Friend For The End of the World." Made it through ten minutes of watching Steve Carrell sulk before turning it off. Holy Christ, how long is that guy gonna be allowed to make a career off of 40 Year Old Virgin? Enough already.

SenorGato Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Pretty much anyone in 40 Year Old Virgin gets a free pass for life. There's so many great lines: Go **** a goat...bags of sand....the Kevin Hart scene....Plant the seeds...**** it I'm throwing it on.

RutgersJetFan Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Just caught The Adjustment Bureau, I can't think of too many movies that started off that well and then just completely dissolved into unintentional comedy. The one part where Damon knocked the guy out in the bathroom and then yelled "DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM. HE'S WITH THEM! FORGET ABOUT HIM!!" had me dying.

It's kind of crazy too, because the first 20 minutes or so started off so well, next thing you know General Zod is wearing one of those ridiculous hats and whispering creepily into Damon's ear.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Finally got around to seeing Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy and it was definitely well worth the wait. Gary Oldman is one of my all time favorite actors, I put him up there with the DDL's of today, that's how highly I think of him and I can say that this is his best role to date. The movie itself is fantastic, awesome cast, but Oldman just steals every scene he's in. The man is a better actor in five minutes of silence than 99% of the guys working today, he's just incredible. If you don't like slow-moving, methodically scripted movies, then it's definitely not for you. However, if you like cold-war era espionage movies, with rich characters and plot you have to follow every single minute, then you'll love it immediately. Definitely recommend.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Oldman is one of my all time favorite actors. I'll check this move out. It definitely is slow moving and calculated, but if you don't mind that as long as the plot is good, you'll love it. Let me know what ya think when you check it out. As a sidenote; that man is just incredible when you look at the different roles he takes and just f*ckin owns. Look at his character in tinker tailor then go over to Zorg in 5th element, dude is awesome lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 I saw Seven Psychopaths. If you're a fan of Martin McDonagh plays, you'll enjoy it. Otherwise, it's too nuanced to enjoy as a straight-up story. Often the issue when a playwright tries to cross over into screenwriting.

RutgersJetFan Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Man With The Iron Fists is a pretty awesome terrible flick. Distant 2nd to Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter for best campy movie of the year, but worth the watch. Pretty great to see the respect RZA gets from all the actors whose movies he's sampled over the years. Crowe's performance is nothing short of ridiculawesome. Edited November 5, 2012 by RutgersJetFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I haven't seen the Pitt flick yet but from what I've heard there's supposed to be some underlying political message. Drive was simply a De Palma tribute. Awesome though. I always thought of Gosling as kind of a Streisand but he rocked the sh*t in that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosling was very good in that, though I had to see it twice to appreciate it. I went in expecting a mindless cars-and-guns thing, then was stunned to be watching a thought exercise. Killing Them Softly is similar. Everything is very Seventies (the cars, hairstyles, smoking in bars), but the backdrop is the 08 election.

I liked this movie a lot. The guy who plays Al Capone in "Boardwalk", Stephen Graham, has a small but important part. I had no idea he was a Brit. In "TTSS" he sports a 1970s red fro. In fact he's part Jamaican. If you look at either character in these roles hard to believe it's the same guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
