What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

Into the Woods . . . I never saw the play before, but heard a few things were significantly changed for the movie like with Jack. It was a decent show. Emily Blunt was a ton better than Anna Kendrick. Chris Pine was pretty good. It is very much a musical. Little Red Riding Hood is annoying.

I just want to see an edited version of the best from the 3 movies into 1 movie, that could be good.

Agree with this. The 2nd one had easily 30-40 minutes of orc-fight that could be edited out without changing the story one tiny little bit.
 
Watched Snow Piercer. I thought the premise was kind of dumb, the acting was ok, the ending was ridiculous (as in how has that never happened before, with that much snow there had to have been mega-avalanches before, etc.). Also, using kids as machinery was pretty stupid. Also, so they just have a horde of axe wielding psychos in that one compartment all the time like, you know, just in case, since we didn't see any other compartments with hordes of psychos. Also, when exactly did they build the train line that went around the world? Also in a closed environment like that are they breeding bugs, or are the bugs just rounded up every so often or what? Also....ugh nevermind. I guess I really didn't like it and would like those 2 hours of my life back please. I will say it was nice to see Captain America in a different film, and I thought he did a pretty good job of looking confused a lot and getting mad and being very serious the whole time.


Also saw I Frankenstein. Yeah.

So I guess I can sum up that movie night as shoot me now, and Netflix can rot in hell.
 
Is it bad that when my daughter is in her crib and we turn the mobile on and a certain song (Beethoven maybe?) begins, I always say "Ready when you are, Agent Pembry"? Like five times a day this happens. And you either know the movie or don't.

It's sergeant, not agent.

You either know the movie, or you don't.
 
Just have finished Rise of the Planet of the Apes after watching the Dawn. Both were pretty good, they have done a really good job in the whole production, especially the connections of the storylines and the dramatic feel. First time I watch a Planet of the Apes movie - in this case 2. Strongly recommend. But be warned. Might get you to surrender to the leadership of Caesar. Man those eyes! I would die for your cause Caesar!

Just saw the last Hobbit. People who claim it sucked are buffoons who are more concerned with acting smart than enjoying a good flick. "It didn't follow the book at all! LOL" -- STFU and enjoy a truly epic trilogy.

It was pretty good aside from the Legolas thing, Aragorn mention and the Elf lady and the dwarf's love. That watered the story too much. I really liked what they did with the Necromancer side story and Galadriel's power. It was an upside. Because these side stories of highly powerful Elves and Maiar all have a Silmarillion feel, legendary. The Smaug acting was really good, gotta give all the credit for that. I think Peter Jackson nailed this triology, but got cheesy in a few love scenes and all. Overall, I wouldn't expect too much better.

It sucked pretty bad

That's what I feel like it's coming, so I won't give it chance. I will not ruin the high status of the first one that settled in my heart since my childhood. Always loved that scene and always waited for boobs in the end for somehow.

Yup, the original was fantastic. A classic

The Maze Runner was surprisingly good. Low expectations sure helped but the acting didn't bother me at all except some for that girl and the story had some depth and character development. It was a bit expository but I don't mind it. I think it set up a good foundation for the sequels.

It was nice to take a break from all the Bergmans and Tarkovskys. 7/10.

Just saw it. It was good. Not great. And not promising I fear. But good enough to watch. It started right off and led to a decent amount of excitement, but ended in a risky spot. Because you can smell the chance of the plot failing to get exciting and lead to a dull concept. But it sure has enlisted my name to the list of people that are going to see it in theaters. The girl's part watered it down a bit and the lead woman is not my first choice to be the mysterious director of some large facility or experiment. I didn't quite get the mood from her. It was going 6 to 8 over 10 and ended about 5 for me, but it left the door open for a legit 8 overall to define the excitement level for me.

I have a problem about watching movies that occurred since maybe a year and a half or so. I cannot stay awake during the 2nd halves. No matter how excited I am to see a movie, the whole thing gets dull and unreal for me and I fall asleep. Or maybe it's just the dark calling me to sleep, I don't know. Those scenes you've mentioned were the missing parts for me from that one. I slept through a big part of the 2nd half.

I agree, I was liking it at first but I think I hated the second half more than you. To me it was a terrible second half.

Saw this in 70mm in LA the other day. I think it's really interesting. Phoenix is basically a stoner detective and the whole movie makes you feel like you're a stoner too (the plot is pretty incomprehensible).

I don't like it as much as The Master or There Will Be Blood (at least that's my initial reaction), but I liked it and it left me with the feeling that I need to see it again to try and understand it more. PTA is definitely one of my favorites.
 
You read the book Spy?

I tried reading some Pynchon (V) earlier in the year. Not the easiest author in the world, his books are require some focus (was being with class reading so I couldn't really give it enough attention. I would read 100 pages and come back to it 2 weeks later and forget everything that happened), so it makes sense that the movie would be difficult to follow also.

I'll be seeing this soon.

Finally watched Locke. Solid flick. I was worried for a little while that it'd be like that ****ty phone booth movie, but thankfully it is not. Legit writing. I think everyone likes Tom Hardy, amirite?

Also watched Under the Skin. Cane out last year sometime. Some pretty gnarly experimental **** in there. Just a cluster**** of confusion as far as the plot goes, but it makes you think a little. Pretty okay. You get to see many shots of Scarlett Johansson's butt, so it's very delightful in that regard. She's well put together.

I haven't read anything by him. But yeah, it sounds like everyone who has read the book says that it's really difficult to understand too.

I know PTA'S screenplay got Pynchon's stamp of approval, fwiw.
