Edge of Tomorrow explanation
really good film by the way, love it! time travel is always riddled with paradoxes though, learn to embrace the confusion

Re: Movies
Just watched 'The Pianist.' One of my favourite films of all time. It's based on a true story about a Jewish pianist who tries to survive through WW2. The ending was really touching and the directing was brilliant. It's probably going to be a film I'll go back and watch more than once.

I was actually hoping Lucy would be much better, but it was really kind of a disappointment. I get that it's not supposed to be realistic, but they took creative freedom to a whole new level and it was really getting worse and worse as the movie went on.
But yeah, Scarlet Johansson booty, so 9.5/10 -IGN.
I had the opposite experience with Lucy tbh. I went in there expecting to hate it and I came out liking it. That being said, I totally realize how someone could hate it... it really was so outside the realm of possibility in almost every circumstance. Even if you do accept the premise, it's entirely unbelievable. I enjoyed it mostly for the few things that were artistically done - the exploration of how humans are connected to animals, for instance. So yeah I hated parts but it does have enough redeeming qualities in it for me to give it at least a halfway thumbs up.
@Alca: That's been on my list for quite some time, gotta get around to watching it soon.
I finally rewatched Inception, been wanting to do that since I first saw it when it came out. It was good and all, but I found it entirely underwhelming just as I did the first time, in contrast to what everyone else has told me about how it "blew their minds" (which is why I wanted to watch it again). Oh well, I s'pose.
Re: Movies
yeah Inception is fine. there's not much to dislike but not much to like either
the idea is neat but there's not enough connection to the characters to make you feel one way or another about them and the climax suffers as a result
edit: completely agree with GTSYankee below

Re: Movies
Saw the new Godzilla last night. Not spectacular. More than I was expecting, though. A lot of people complained about the lack of Godzilla, but I was content with the frequency of his appearance.
Decent movie overall. Wouldn't pay to see in theaters, but the Redbox rental was worth it.

I fully agree with this. Inception was a really good movie, but there's very little emotional attachment to anyone in the story.
As for Edge of Tomorrow, by coincidence I watched it last night, it was pretty good, better than expected at least. It did feel a bit like a cheap excuse for a plot, which they loosely based around some kind of respawn mechanic and from there on create the rules along the way, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it.
I also watched Gone Girl, it had a huge women-thriller vibe throughout the whole movie (and as it turned out, I was correct on that), but it was good nonetheless and I'm definitely glad I went to see it in cinema. I enjoy watching long movies in cinema anyway, which this film definitely qualifies for, with almost 3 hours of playtime.

Re: Movies
I just saw Guardians of the Galaxy, am I the only one who thought it was kinda average? Cause like, pretty much everyone seems to love it but I just can't really see why. The effects were badass and everything, but the writing was really stale IMHO.

I thought it was a really cool movie, but I agree with you that it seemed kind of over-hyped. It had some bad-ass action and plenty sensation, but that's also kind of what it boiled down to. I'm happy I went to see it anyway.

Re: Movies
I'm happy I went to see it too, though the hash made it a fair deal more enjoyable than it would've been I feel. It just kinda felt like every other Sci-fi movie I see now, nothing special, but still enjoyable as eye candy.
Re: Movies
Well, I just watched Frank and I loved it, one of my favorite movies now. I just loved Michael Fassbender, and the soundtrack, oh my. Just wished that The Soronprfbs were real.
Here's a song of the band in the movie, and it's the actors themselves that play it! (There's a full version of it.)

Michael Fassbender is fantastic, Maggie Gyllenhaal was great too

Movies are always a bit more fun when you're high. I always smoke some pot before entering the cinema. Only downfall of cinema's are that you can't pause the movie and get high again, so you'll always have to sit through a big part of the movie completely sober. But such is life, I suppose.
Also, I want to go see Frank, but I live in the fucking Netherlands and according to my theater's website they won't air the film until December 2015. No, I didn't make a typo there. I get that I have to wait a bit longer, but I guess they really weren't planning a release for Frank over here.
I find myself eligible to pirate this one. Not that I care, but it feels good to believe you have a good excuse.
Edit: Forgot to add, I just watched Oldboy. Wouldn't really recommend it, even for an action movie it was really generic and lacked logic.

That's music? I didn't enjoy that at all.
