Most recent movie you saw

Hacksaw Ridge, one of the more enjoyable movies I've seen lately. Vince Vaugh as a drill sargeant, yeah not gonna work...

[Cruduxy Pegg]

Foodfight. Please don't never watch this movie in your life.

[elend]

"Under the Silver Lake", a movie by the director of "It follows". Highly recommended, very atmospheric, very strange, very surprising.

Jiminy Christmas, a live-action Transformers movie that's actually good. Characters that are well acted, and have genuine human emotion. Action sequences that aren't incoherent orgies of rusty metal being shoved in my face. Jokes that make me laugh. The Transformers even look the way they did in the 80s. Given the lack of promotion and the fact that it has two opening superhero movies to compete with, this is likely going to be the least financially successful movie in the franchise. And that's a damn shame because this movie ticks all the boxes.

I rewatched Shin Godzilla last night for the 2,000,000th time this year.

I really wanna see that movie, being a huge G fan myself. Does it have an american release?

I watched Hacksaw Ridge, a very good movie about the story of this guy (<-- worth reading). He's a conscientious objector who went to war and refused to carry a firearm.

Yeah, it's out here in the US.

For festive tradition's sake, I decided to watch a Christmas-themed film. That film happened to be Don't Open Till Christmas (1984). It's a pretty bad slasher movie, but it's certainly one of my guilty pleasures. Can't help but love it.

AQUAMAN was surprisingly good and easy to follow. The visuals must have cost a fortune, because 90% of the movie is visuals. It was a lot more fun than past DC movies. They also brought out some stars in the way DC movies do. They also do a great job of turning a shmoe of an opening act villain into a hero with a great reason to want to kill Aquaman.

 

TRANSFORMERS: LAST KNIGHT was more memorable than previous entries. It's like the fifth one, but this will always stand out because they gave Optimus a sword... and said that Transformers have been around since medieval times. Ask me how memorable it was after #7. These have all blended together and I've seen all of them and forget about each one 10 minutes after I'm done watching.

 

REINDEER GAMES with Ben Afflick was good, and fun casino heist, but then they added a few too many hard to believe situations. Well the entire premise is tough to believe. Ex con poses as his dead cellmate for a woman and bad things happen to ex cons. Then more twists and turns.

 

FRIDAY AFTER NEXT is a Christmas movie with Ice Cube that has no snow. It's the thrilling climax to the Friday Trilogy that I'm amazed hasn't just become a TV series. It was still fun and didn't feel out of date despite being 15 years old already. I've seen it before and I saw it on a whim again.

Bayformers movies are a guilty pleasure of mine. I wanna watch the new Bumblebee movie sometime.

Dragonslayer. It's pretty hard to make fantasy movies about dragons boring, but this movie pulled it off. It says something about a movie when I pause it for a bit because I randomly wondered about what Ugly Betty's IMDB score is. I've never even watched that show. Special effects were impressive, but that's about it. The only noteworthy thing about this movie is the fact that George Lucas enjoyed Ian McDiarmid's performance as a fanatical priest enough to hire him to play Palpatine. I'm probably going to forget this movie in T minus one day. Yup, already forgot. 

[geo]

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR was a lot of fun. Far more memorable than the last one which I instantly forgot about. These Marvels movies are getting to be a blur. Amazingly they fit like 20+ super heroes into it without feeling like anyone got lost in the shuffle. It felt like each Marvel movie built up to this one. It's also good to see them break a few eggs.

 

BLACK MIRROR: INTERACTIVE MOVIE is something I truly hated. Sure having an interactive movie is original and unique, I just didn't care for the twists, turns and the fact that if you hit a dead end, there are no credits, you need to go back in time. It could get crazy at the drop of a dime and still try to spin it into something you didn't see coming so you have your choice, but they're still in control. Oh yeah, and I've never been a fan of Groundhog Day style movies or TV shows.

 

BIRD BOX with Sandra Bullock is a fantastic suspense horror. The irony being I go into all movies blind... and this movie is literally blind. I asked my friend if he saw it... he said no, it looked like a chick flick. So I told him well I'll tell you about it until it sounds interesting and you tell me when to stop. You need to wear blindfolds because of monsters. Stop.

Saw Bumblebee on the weekend.  It's actually a movie, not a collection of explosions, with character arcs and recognisable motivations, and Transformer fight scenes you can actually follow.  Alas, it doesn't seem to be doing well at the box office.

[Doominator2]

Watched Die Hard, Die Hard 2 and Die Hard with a vengeance.  

[Poncho1]

Just finished watching Extreme Prejudice (1987). Pretty bad-ass flick. I liked it.

[Lizardcommando]

I saw that new Spiderman movie on New Years Eve. Man, that was a pretty great movie. Probably one of the best 3D animated films I've seen in quite a while.

I re-watched Kung-Fu Hustle last night. I love that movie, and I'm not sure why. It seems like the little movie that could; it keeps trying and failing, but in the end it gets it right. And the scene with the assassins with the guqin was beautifully haunting.

Ralph Breaks the Internet is one of those rare sequels that both builds on and surpasses the original film.  Good stuff.

 

[Chow Yun Thin]

I saw bits and pieces of it at a family gathering. I let out a laugh when

Cinderella looked like she was gonna shank a bitch with her broken glass slipper. It was just so unexpected, it could've been a Family Guy joke.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

The coolest movie about spider-man. Oh, I mean... coolest movie about boy that met the spider-men (and one spider-woman) from different dimensions (Spider-verses). It was so fantastic. I have never seen the more fantastic and incredible before. I think that Stan Lee would be satisfied.

[Poncho1]

I've been on a bit of a movie binge lately.

 

The Mirror (1975) - this is, technically speaking, the first Tarkovsky picture I've seen (I've watched his student film from 1956 called The Killers). It's brilliant. The visuals, the "structure", the poetic dialogue… this is a true art film.

 

Paths of Glory (1957) - rewatched this Kubrick film, mostly because of a university midterm test, but nonetheless, this is one of the finest anti-war films I've seen. Definitely in my personal Top 3 Kubrick movies. Great acting, non-sentimental and emotional.

 

French Connection II (1975) - following up the epic first movie would be tough, but this sequel - while inferior to the original - does offer its own ideas (an American rozzer in France, and unable to communicate, which creates a stark cultural contrast). The drug (and cold turkey) scenes are a neat touch too. Good sequel, all-in-all.

 

Blood Simple (1984) - this is only the second Coen Brothers film I've seen (after No Country For Old Men). This is a sweet neo-noir: colourful characters, great use of colours (and cool lighting, too) and is also dripping with suspense.

Saw that Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse movie. Visually, the movie was pretty incredible, but I still wasn't really a fan besides that.

 

Spoiler

I get that the idea was to have a bunch of the Spider-verse characters, but throwing in a bunch of characters with wildly clashing art styles (An anime girl? Peter Porker? Really?) halfway into the movie, completely out of nowhere, was incredibly jarring to me, especially since the movie up to that point struck me as going for a more serious tone. If the movie had tried to go one way or the other (either the slightly more serious, style of the first half or the comedic mishmash of styles in the second), instead of throwing a curveball halfway through, I would have liked it a lot more. 

 

[Billy Baron]

I went and saw Aeon Flux. It was different than a Ninja movie, maybe, I don't know, more seductive? I drank an entire bottle of wine and pushed play, so some of the glitz might not have caught my attention. All in all, the artwork was really interesting, and it reminded me of the cartoon of the same name. It's like Anime with a psychedelic flare, or 'just kind of trippy'. It wasn't really annoying at all. Not to spoil anything, but be ready to buy into some kind of technology curve.

 I say see it.

 

 

[Apaul27]

So, I saw Disney's Moana, and it was petty fun. Well before I saw this movie, I saw other modern Disney movies like, not limiting to... Well, click the spoiler to see the movie I've watch before, in release order.

Spoiler

Bolt (2008)

Tangled (2010)

Wreck-It-Ralph (2012)

Frozen (2013)

Big Hero 6 (2014)

Zootopia (2016)

I've watch Moana just yesterday, and I've kind like it.

 

Fun Fact: While Frozen is petty much "very" overrated, and also my least favorite Disney movie ever. Zootopia on the other hand, it was petty AWESOME, and it was my MOST favorite Disney of all time. well, it was my most favorite movie of all time. :P

[Grimosaur]

I watched Oldboy (the 2003 version, not the crap 2013 remake) after my friend kept pestering me to watch it for months.

The twist at the end. Holy fuck.

 

[Megalyth]

Rings, a boring, convoluted "horror" movie periodically punctuated by the sound of my dog eating his own asshole.

[geo]

CELLULAR is for people who want Captain America, Harry Potter and Ricky Martin in the same movie! Well not quite. It stars Captain America, and even Jessica Beil is in there too, but uncredited. Harry Potter is on a book bag and Ricky Martin is the name of the kid. I've seen it before and it's fun.

 

LOGAN was less fun, because it's gritty and real - ish. I didn't care for the first two Wolverine movies, but this is old Wolverine... working as a limo driver... of all things. Anyway, it starts pretty dull, mundane and a waste of a movie, but evolves into something that will most likely be a spin off. I should add, as someone who missed the last two X-Men movies, I was surprised to see Professor X alive and well, but that's time travel for ya.

 

READY PLAYER ONE is something I absolutely hated for the same reason everyone loved. The cameos / name dropping. Holy shit. I just couldn't get past oh look there's King Kong... there's the Delorian. In time it grew to, please just stop. No more. I'm just overloaded. It's not a treat anymore. It's just distracting. It wass like the Emoji movie or Twilight for 80s kids.

 

RAMPAGE was a fun, CGI fest, more fun than Ready Player One. I enjoyed it more than Godzilla and there was more of a plot to it. It's mind blowing to see they made good use of some random 80s arcade game IP.

 

KONG: SKULL ISLAND is an even better CGI fest than Rampage. Far better and thankfully shorter than the last King Kong movie. I liked the previous movie, but 3 hours is 3 hours and Skull Island is just pure, awesome, action mixed with horror drenched in 70s late 60s. Surprisingly good cast with funny men in dramatic roles.

 

FYRE FESTIVAL DOCUMENTARY is a fun documentary. I know nothing about the Fyre Festival, but it was a horrible festival, for horrible people, spearheaded by a horrible con artist / compulsive liar. It's worth watching for anyone that wants to see a disaster in the making. They have an interview with the man behind it all... not Ja Rule, but Billy McFarland. It's interesting because he's wearing what look to be the highest lifts in shoes I've ever seen. There are gems of idiocy, such as $2 million dollars on booze to the Bahamas... which is 40% in taxes, so he ended up having to pay $900,000 in booze taxes.

 

THE ESCAPE ROOM is like a PG-13 Saw movie. I liked it. It was fun, fresh, different and felt like trying to figure out clues myself watching it. The ending is a bit outlandish, but whatever.

Terminator 2, because it's my favourite action movie

[Poncho1]

Just finished watching Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. This is an epic British gangster film: a lot of colourful, memorable characters (Barry the Baptist, Hatchet Harry, Bacon, Big Chris, Dog, [yes, those are their names], etc.). There's a lot of good humour, the music is fitting, the language is foul (though mercifully not on overload) and the story is complex, yet not too tough to figure out once you watch it a couple of times. The different character stories intertwine very well. Recommended for those who like British crime films.
