Integrity28 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Out Of The Furnace was also really good. Christian Bale Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson, and Willem Dafoe Seen it, and agree. Snuck up on me too. I had never heard of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Saw the film "Wild" over the weekend. I thought it was some flakey, attention-needy skanks way of justifying becoming a drug addict whore. I didn't find much of any of it believable. Like a girl that is this busted upon on drugs can suddenly just hike the PCT? Like her feet got cut to shreds but never infected? The ghastly REI plug. It all just seemed like some annoying 90's chick with bad tattoo's, incense in her bedroom, and doc martin's looking to try and tap into the whole uplifting Christopher McCandless spirituality "look at me I went for a walk" thing because her life bottomed out from taking too much heroin and cock to the face. Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Out in LA, we got to see a screening of The Stanford Prison Experiment. It's a movie that premiered at Sundance a few months back and it's about the actual Stanford experiment where a Stanford psych professor let students play prisoner or prison guard in a mock prison for what was supposed to be 2 weeks, but only lasted 6 days because the whole situation became so ****ed up. It's a disturbing flick that does a good job of visualizing an infamous story. Worth a watch, but man, I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm a little messed up from it. People suck.

RutgersJetFan Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Great doc up on Netflix called Dawg Fight. It's about the backyard bare knuckle clubs down in South Florida, where Kimbo Slice got his start. At first it comes off like a WWE promo, but as it gets deeper into things the director does a great job of digging into the consequences for the fighters. And the fight scenes are without question some of the most brutal fights ever put on film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scandal26 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I watched about half of Dawg Fight last night. Hopefully I'll be able to see the rest sometime this weekend. I agree, Billy Corben makes some interesting documentaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 One of the coolest Netflix surprise movies I saw. Did I mention the the first two VHS movies are good Netflix horror surprises? I think I did already but just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Also, Season 1 of Hemlock Grove (Netflix original) was decent. Slow in places, there were times I thought about possibly giving up but in the end, worth watching. THere's a Season 2 I'll eventually get to.

Pac Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Just saw Mad Max. Definitely good but wish I had seen it without such high expectations. The 98 on rottentomatoes had me thinking I was going to see an all timer. It was bizarre and I can't remember seeing anything like it. It's worth seeing in the theater rather than waiting to watch at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Joss Whedon has never made anything that remotely justifies his notoriety. Avengers and Cabin in the Woods were pretty damn good. Ultron was kind of a let down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth seeing in the theater rather than waiting to watch at home. That's one of the things that makes it so good - a $150 mill tentpole pick with that much weirdness in it, but it all fit into that world it was set in. I really wonder what the honchos at Warner Brothers were thinking when they saw the dailies (the shots they send from location to headquarters) from it. It really makes me think cocaine is still a big drug in the movie industry: "that guitarist! This is awesome! Hey, someone chop me another line!!!" Can't imagine they were sober when they saw it and kept encouraging George Miller to keep on spending their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowmoe57 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Loved Mad Max damn near had to catch my breath after the action sequences. May go see Tommowland since it's suppose to rain in my neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I think the best way to sum up Fury Road is that George Miller just cock smacked every other action director straight in the face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Doug hated Mad Max but won't say so. The only conclusion I can draw here. Lol, had a family matter to attend to out in SoCal and Mrs. RJF had no desire to see it. I finally managed to see it tonight and it lived up to every expectation I had. It's basically what The Road Warrior would have been had Miller filmed it in 2015, which is great. I'm not sure there is much more to say, I think it's hands down the best film of the franchise and probably the best movie of the year so far. According to Miller they are going to offer a black and white version on the Blu Ray release with just the isolated soundtrack and no dialogue. Thoroughly looking forward to watching that.

Like how did anyone not get the memo on movie theater etiquette? The fact that they don't know offends me more than the act itself. Or that they do know and just don't give a sh*t.

rillo Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Mad Max, I really enjoyed it. Felt like one big car chase was a fan of the original, and wasn't disappointed with the remake. Probably one of the better action movies I've seen in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
