I watched Room and Brooklyn in the last week, I've now seen all of the Best Picture nominees. Brooklyn was pretty good for a romance movie, which really just isn't my thing. Room was absolutely fantastic, it had the most intense scene from any movie I saw from last year and the performances from Brie Larson and the kid were phenomenal. Does anyone else care about the Oscars or is it just me? I was thinking of making a prediction thread.. I probably won't though.
Deadpool. Awesome. It's an adult superhero movie and in no way shape or form appropriate for kids but the comedy was great, the action fantastic and the story tell was pretty good.
Liked Room a lot, if you've seen it you know it about 50 percent of one part of the story and 50 of the other. I would have much preferred about 75-25. Hell, if they could have somehow started with the end and didn't let you figure out what happened until you watched the beginning it would have blown my mind. Watched Creed today, liked it but it didn't blow my mind. The acting was good but it didn't wow me.
Saw The Witch last night. I still don't know what to make of it. During the movie, I was not sure if I liked it. It was a rather unique movie from a cinematography perspective. An interesting psychological thriller. However, most of you will not like it. Literally when the movie ended, the guy behind me shouted "That was the fucking stupidest movie I have ever seen!" Rage! Anyway, I decided I liked it because it was different.
I'm gonna try to see it soon. It has 141 positive reviews and only 2 negative on Rotten Tomatoes. I haven't read those 2 negative reviews, so I've heard nothing but good things about it.
One of the first animated movies in a while that I've been really interested in seeing. I saw a trailer before a movie recently (Star Wars?) and thought it looked dyn-o-mite. One of the finest ever made is a high compliment. Can you list some other movies you would put in that category?
Fargo, Back to the Future, Trading Places, My Cousin Vinny, Meet Me In St Louis, Babe, South Park movie, The Sound of Music, ET, Rango, Mad Max: Fury Road, off the top of my head
This is like Gordon Ramsey listing Yoohoo, Big Macs and Twinkies as his favorite foods. I'm glad Fonz asked. Cracked me up.
Has anyone seen city of God? It's on Netflix right now, I would definitely recommend it. It's about a kid growing up in the slums of Rio surrounded by gangs and violence.
Zootopia was fantastic. Definitely one of the best animated films I have ever seen. I can't find anything wrong with it.
Watched The Big Short last night. Took a few minutes to get started and then it was really good. Aggravating too.
The director of The Big Short is a big supporter of Bernie Sanders. I didn't know that at the time but when I walked out of the theater I said to my brother that there should have been an ad for Bernie at the end, since not allowing shit like that to happen is pretty much his primary focus.
