What movie did you last watch?

Re: What movie did you last watch?

I haven't either, but generally speaking the month of Feb is the time of the year for the studios to dump bad movies and maybe a rom-com for Valentines Day. Oh, and the weather was awful.

Hitchcock (2012) with Sir Anthony Hopkins - Definitely recommend if you like Hitchcock. Very good stuff, just wish there was more about his life's story. haha



Warm Bodies - Eh, it was decent. A good flick to watch once, but not memorable to want to watch again.

I have not seen 12 Years a Slave. Will hopefully see it soon. Hope it won because it was the best movie regardless of the subject matter.

Lego Movie. Thought the plot was nonexistant. But it was very clever and had some funny lines. 2 days after seeing it I have no idea what the plot was

12 Years a Slave absolutely deserved to win. Tough watch, but not gratuitous or maudlin. Realistically brutal. Acting is incredible throughout, and it's a gorgeously-shot film. Without spoiling it, there's this one long take, a couple minutes, that is equally beautiful, terrifying and stomach-churning.

I've yet to meet anyone who thought the film was bad. Mostly just people who said they would never see it again, but at no disrespect to the quality of the film itself.

Constellation- an interracial drama starring Billy Dee Williams and Gabrielle Union it was okay on paper but the movie fell flat.

Stripes- Good 80s fun didn't know John Laroquette was in it I've been watching Night Court from the beginning and Dan was my favorite character.

Re: What movie did you last watch?

I like Bull a lot more than when I originally watched(caught it in the middle of its run watched it sporadically so I had no idea about all these cast changes)

Didn't realize Brent Spiner had a recurring role on here so different than Data

Watched Swiss Family Robinson (1960) and Groundhog Day on Saturday with some relatives. I loved SFR as a kid, and I can still see why, though it's not amazing, just solid. I do think really highly of GD, though; funny, deep, powerful.

Her- really enjoyed this movie. The acting and direction was terrific and I felt really engaged with the story

Re: What movie did you last watch?

I've been catching up on movies lately. Over the past few weeks I have watched:

Frozen

I'm a 28 year old dude, I watched it alone, and I enjoyed the **** out of it. I'm sorry that I'm not sorry. I enjoyed Tangled too, for that matter. The little snowman dude was hilarious.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I often quene up movies and forget why I decided at some point to watch them and forget what they are about. This one was excellent. I wasn't totally expecting everything that happened, but it's just a movie that made me feel good.

Despicable Me 2

Whatever. Minions, gibberish, goofy villains.

About Time

I'm not going to get sucked into the time travel vortex and I'll just appreciate this movie for the message it drives home. Puts things into perspective a little bit.

The Wolverine

It was stupid.

Thor: The Dark World

"Guys, crazy idea: For Thor 2, instead of ****ing up New York something fierce, let's **** up London!" In fairness, they really were a lot gentler on the chaps from across the pond's city, but I don't know, I thought it was kind of dumb. These Marvel movies are getting to the point where they are all more or less the same in their pacing and comedic timing. Tom Hiddleston is good and I enjoy looking at Natalie Portman but it doesn't warrant a repeated viewing.

Re: What movie did you last watch?

I really enjoyed About Time. You can't watch it as a pure time travel film like Primer or even Donnie Darko or something like that, because its time travel logic is all over the place (to be fair, I don't think Richard Curtis cares, it's intentionally silly). You watch it more for the commentary on relationships and life, and the slow realization that it's not a film about the relationship you think it's about. That, and the beach scene in particular, definitely hit me hard.

I just watched Thor 2. Not very good, imo. Thor spent most of the movie getting his *** kicked. I'm all for the hero taking some punches, but he had to be saved every damn time! Movie gets a "meh".

Hated The Wolverine too. I wanted to like it desperately, but it was just bad.

Re: What movie did you last watch?

Little Nikita- Eh it was average I liked the idea of it but it just seemed so dated.

Throw Momma Out of the Train- Had its moments but overall wasn't that interesting to me.

[Suaveness]

Re: What movie did you last watch?

Lego Movie-I really enjoyed this. It was funny as hell, warm, and had an unexpected ending. Good stuff

Wolf of Wall Street- That was crazy

Les Miserables- Some great singing performances, esp Hathaway in the beginning. That was powerful. Hugh Jackman was terrific throughout

Yup, that's the shot that pushed me over the edge; perfect encapsulation of why it's a bad movie. My review of the film is somewhere in this thread; I don't need to express more negativity over something that most people like.

But yeah, 12YAS won because people felt like they should vote for it. (Two jackass Academy members came out and said so.) That's nothing new. McConaughey won because he lost a bunch of weight and got AIDS. If it were fair and true, MM would have won for Magic Mike and Harold Ramis would have gotten some awards instead of a few seconds of an In Memoriam.
