win4ever Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Saw Deadpool this weekend, good movie. Very IronMan-ish, but it works for me. I usually hate super hero movies besides the origin story, so it remains to be seen how this series turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way I can sit through that in the theater. I got nauseous just with the trailer alone. That's a Netflix watch with multiple pauses throughout.

Larz Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 so I had some rare grown up time to watch an R rated movie recently so I found silence of the lambs on demand or wherever still holds up obviously hopkins is amazing, but I thought the whole cast was great, bill, the FBI guys, everybody the exception was jodi foster. I thought she was stiff and forced the real star is the story. holy crap. the way it unfolds, even when you know why bill is doing it, is just chilling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Saw Child 44: two of my favorite actors and I also did Naomi Rapace. They really had something with that story, just needed to flesh out the characters a bit more and do something about this brutal accents. Still it's worth it to watch Hardy and Oldman. Re-watched The Drop as well. Really miss Gandolfini and Hardy is an absolute super force. I'll say it, I thought he did a better job in The Revanent than Leo, he actually spoke, but whatevs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 So the big take on geek websites this week is that the verdict from early screenings of BvS is if you loved MoS, you'll love BvS. If you hated Man of Steel, it's probably not your cup of tea. Most importantly Affleck steals the show, and they're saying that if BvS doesn't cross the $1 billion mark, they'll delay Justice League and delay it in favor of more Batman movies with Affleck. This kinda goes with the screenings they did with execs in December where supposedly the studio execs went bonkers over Affleck's Wayne. And that's great to hear. I loved the sh*t out of MoS, but that still doesn't excuse spoiling Doomsday for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 so I read the green mile `10 years ago, but only saw the movie friday night holy sh*t the thing about king is his characters are so fleshed out, so fully developed, you feel like you have known them your whole life. It felt like I had read the book only a month ago I was wondering how they were going to do the execution of Del, and they didn't hold back. wow percy is a great antagonist, but paul is a better protagonist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Saw Meru, twice. Absolutely sensational. Recommend it to everyone. Best 90 minutes, err 180 minutes that I spent in a while. Damned good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know everyone's caught up on the race stuff with this year's awards, but the fact that Meru didn't even get a nomination is ******* ridiculous. Two of the best climbers of the past two generations summitted arguably the toughest peak in history with cameras on them the entire way, combined with the story of what that team went through over several years to accomplish that, it's just insane. Do you know how hard it is to get shots like that during Himalayan wall climbing? Especially on a mountain like Meru? And on THE SHARK'S FIN OF MERU?? WHAT! Jimmy ******* Chin. Guy is just the man and has been doing this type of stuff for years and Hollywood couldn't care less. Such a shame. The work deserved better. But hey, someone edited a bunch of Amy Winehouse clips together and another guy followed border patrol agents around with night vision for a few days.

T0mShane Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Saw The Witch. It has great reviews overall, but don't go see it expecting a thrill-a-minute horror flick.

That documentary got absolutely hosed, there's no reason it shouldn't have been nominated and no reason it shouldn't have won, easily. They sacrificed food to carry camera equipment up... Like, really? I grew up in the Adirondacks so I've heard of the guys peripherally, but never knew how badass they were until this past week. God damn.

rillo Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Watched deadpool yesterday, and it was awesome. Story was cool, action and humor throughout, the lovely ladies were the icing on the cake. Yay for R-rated comic movies. Don't be that guy/family that brings children to this movie. It's not for kids, had a couple of idiots in the theater with their kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the whole we must save the city/country/world/universe from total annihilation theme, isn't it starting to get a little old? I think this is what endeared comic fans to Dredd so much. Or why everyone loves Marvel's Netflix series. There are universes you can create and stories you can tell where not everything comes down to we have to save everyone all the time. Comic books certainly don't work like that, I'm not sure why the movies have to. Speaking of the above, which I am always unnecessarily upset about: Bam. Boom. On the sequel, thank you Deadpool writers: "“We don’t want $150 million to go make the next movie, that’s not Deadpool. Deadpool doesn’t lift cities up into the air or battle aliens coming down to earth, that’s just not Deadpool. So we’re happy in that little small budget range that they have us in; we don’t wanna blow this next one out,” Wernick told Collider." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Whatever, I get Inaritu had fancy lighting and Leo did a great job not talking (still preferred Hardy's role), but I just finished watching Bridge of Spies and preferred that. As RJF mentioned, Spielberg absolutely nails spy movies, really hope he does another. BoS was just awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Dont really get the Deadpool hype. It was good. Dont get me wrong. It was funny and entertaining but there was really nothing to it. No suspense, no drama, no holy sh*t moments, no fun twists or turns to the plot. It was just a comedy sprinkled with some action with a rather mediocre plot. The lack of a good villain was a little disappointing. I mean, if all that makes it great, is that it was R and they cursed and showed nudity and blood, I guess that's cool as it opens up the door to more Superhero movies pushing the envelop. But it didnt make the experience/movie any better for me. I thought it was a good representation of the character and Reynolds fits it well but the movie itself, was very blah. Nothing actually happened outside of some laughs and bloody fight scenes. Oh and the X-men who were featured were terrible. That version of Colossus was straight up awful. Literally laughable how bad that character was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
