Re: Movies
I don't usually watch new movies since I have to go to the theater and I have 0 friends and I don't want to go alone. But I just watched Sharknado the other day with my family. Literally all I did was point out all the horrible mistakes and how they must have actually PAID someone to make this movie. 10/10.
Re: Movies
I just saw the new TMNT movie and I absolutely loved it and Mikey is a complete loser and I love him.

Re: Movies
Damn it I miss horror movies! Have there been any good ones lately? These days it just seems like every horror movie is about a young girl possessed by the devil or some shit. It's probably about 90% of the horror movies that come out these days.

yeah, done.
some movies i liked:
Cold in July - awesome tone, acting and twists
The Homesman - easily my favorite recent western
Under the Skin - superbly simple and artsy
Frank - pretty self-aware to it's own advantage/detriment
Coherence - great thinking-indie-scifi
Melancholia - interpretive analysis on life, death and marriage
Clerks - good angsty post-teen dram-com
Willow Creek - intriguing sasquatch mythology
The Signal - formulaic but effective scifi
Re: Movies
Pain and Gain is actually a pretty good Michael Bay film. It has a few drawbacks, but overall I found it quite fun and unique. It seems like a right step in the direction for him as a director and the film certainly has an interesting premise. Take what I say with a grain of salt, it's not for everyone.

Re: Movies
Been rating every movie I watched on IMDb recently, not really because I feel like rating, but it's a great way to keep track on all the movies you've watched. According to the site I've watched 32 movies ever since (with maybe some TV-movies on top of that, but not chances are that's honestly not that much, as i barely watch TV anymore). Anyway, some I really liked:
-Pant's Labyrinth
-Begin Again
-A Beautiful Mind (Recommended)
-Silver Linings Playbook
-The Last King of Scotland (Recommended)
-Dallas Buyers Club
-Her (Recommended)
-Life of Pi
Not to say there weren't more that I enjoyed, these just stood out for one reason or another.
Also, Stickid, I watched The Signal, but can you explain your appeal on that movie to me? To me it looked like a really badly constructed and the plot was just really bad in and of itself.

Re: Movies
I've recently seen The Wolf of Wall Street, it was pretty fun, people normally complain about its length but I enjoyed every single hour of it.
Re: Movies
^Wolf of Wall Street is easily the best movie that's come out since 2009, in my opinion. I think it does get a little long but overall it's excellent.
Watched Trainspotting a couple weeks ago. It was good, but I feel like there's more to it than I picked up on so I'm gonna rewatch it. I also watched Psycho, which was good for the time period. It was quite the film at the time and I respect that, even if it isn't anything special for today (mostly because things start copying it etc)

Re: Movies
Watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes last night with my father. Have to say, I wasn't disappointed. Only problem with it is...

Re: Movies
I watched The Prestige today and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to all of you, it's a fantastic movie.

the plot is really simple and i don't see what's bad about it, i thought it was a perfectly decent slow-burner with a good twist ending.
sure it's not very satisfying, but i had no big problems with it

Re: Movies
TMNT, pretty decent enough. I was expecting less, you know the way ol' Bay is.
