What movie did you last watch?

Re: What movie did you last watch?

Other than the title of the movie, which makes no sense and seems like it came from a Random Sequel Generator machine, Star Trek: Into Darkness is pretty good. The characters aren't great (Alive Eve really is just there for the shot in the trailer.), but at least they get to do something amidst all the millions of CG dollars. It kind of reminded me of the Avengers in that most everyone's role is well established, they fulfilled their tasks, get their little character moments, and things work out.

What I think makes these JJ Abrams movies work and why Super 8 had so many problems is that he isn't putting so much effort into this; he isn't trying too hard. There isn't much at stake, and Abrams is fine with that. He has that Spielberg quality where he can make big, expensive movies that are fine with wearing their hearts on their sleeves and their brains on the floor. I don't really care how the new Star Wars ends up, but it seems like having someone mostly detached from these franchises yields good results. (If you don't believe me, see season four of Community. Damn, it hurt to type that.)

Star Trek - It was pretty good, not bad, nothing about it was great. Not memorable. Felt the same way about Iron Man 3. well made, but maybe I have grown tired of these movies.

Iron Man 3 was really ****ing stupid. Downey is great because he is Downey, and there were some funny moments in the movie, but I just didn't like it. Guy Pearce's villain was wildly, incredibly idiotic. A mix between the liquid Terminator in T2 and Wolverine.

Fast 6

It was amazing, like the rest of the franchise. Bad acting was taken to a new level (thanks, Gina Carano!), absurdity was taken to a new level, cheesy one liners were taken to a new level, and the gang is back together! Couldn't be happier. I think The Rock really added a ton to this franchise.

A Place Beyond The Pines(2013) with Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper. Great movie. A whopping 7.7 rating on IMDB.

Just finished it this morning -- I enjoyed it, but I was expecting like, a Best Picture candidate and instead got a movie that wasn't at all what was advertised. Spoilers in white:

From the previews, this looked like it was going to be a cops-and-robbers, hero in pursuit of the villain type of drama. Instead, there were two action sequences, the lead actors only shared one two-minute scene together, and the second half of the movie was about two largely unlikable kids that weren't at all advertised as being part of the movie. I liked the parallels drawn between the two generations of the families. Overall I'd give it like a B or a B- just because I felt like it was sort of billed as a showdown between the two main guys and it never materialized. It actually reminds me a little bit of the bait-and-switch from Iron Man 3.

Watched Now you see me. I enjoyed it, it had a good plot and nice twist. I don't think it's as good as the other caper/magic movies (Prestige, Illusionist, Ocean's 11), but still good.

Re: What movie did you last watch?

I really want to see This is the End.

Anyone go to see this movie yesterday?

Re: What movie did you last watch?

I thought that wasn't out until the 14th?

[Suaveness]

Re: What movie did you last watch?

Comes out on the 12th, 2 days before Man of Steel.

IGN gave This is the End a glowing review, 8.5/10. Should be a good movie weekend.

I'm really looking forward to next weekend, Much ado about nothing comes out (directed by Joss Whedon and starring Nathon Fillion)...I will always watch Joss

Indianapolis, roughly 20 of your people clapped at the end of After Earth. Explain yourself.

Oh snap, I thought it was this weekend since there was a review already.

Man of Steel is the next movie for me though.

Re: What movie did you last watch?

Just saw The Hangover 3... it wasn't as bad as advertised. An improvement over the second one for sure, but nowhere close to as good as the original. I'm becoming less and less a fan of Zach Galifianakis every time I see him, but overall it wasn't a bad movie. Probably like a 6/10.
