San Andreas. Went to Edwards marquee for the first time because of imax 3d. I honestly can't tell you the difference, same crap. It was a scam watching it in 3d too. I'll stick to greenspoint theater from now on and save me about 30 bucks
Love & Mercy - 8/10: compelling script and very accurate portrayal of Brian Wilson. Paul Dano and John Cusack did an amazing job.
Ex-Machina 8/10 Two leading characters are in the next star wars movies, i had no idea going into the movie. Movie it self was great and entertaining. The ending really caught me off guard, just as I thought I knew exactly how it was going to end, they threw me a wicked curveball. Must watch. Locke 6/10 After seeing rave reviews and a 91% on the rotten tomatoes meter, I decided to watch this with my amazon prime membership. The concept is the whole movie takes place inside Tom Hardy's car and it's just him on the phone having conversations with people in the middle of one of the worst days probably in his life. I enjoyed most of the movie but the end result to me just wasn't worth sitting through 90 minutes of one man sitting in the car. I thought the concept was cool but only if there was a huge pay off somewhere in the middle. You kind of get what your going to get from the entire movie half way though. This is the type of movie critics will rave about just because of the acting from Tom Hardy and the uniqueness of filming a movie all in on setting but I can see the general audience being turned off by it. My wife refused to watch it after the initial 10 minutes when I revealed to her that the entire movie was like this.
Mad Max: Fury Road - 8/10 Good movie. Rating it for what it is - fun action movie. They did it right. The Bobadook - 7/10 Good for a horror film (actually, great by horror film standards), but not quite deserving of all the praise its getting.
Foxcatcher - B+ slow slow movie but some great performances throughout. Big Hero 6 - B+ Solid animated film, really enjoyed it!
I agree on Mad Max It is IMO like Expendables Long on action . . . short on story Expendables sucks when it tries to make more story Just shut up and shoot people and blow **** up Rocket River
McFarland - 5/10 about as predictable as you could get Focus - 7/10 entertaining, they should have spent more time on the ins and outs of the different scams
Blackhat - 6/10, I was actually surprised that it wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be. I love Michael Mann films, mainly because of the realistic gun fights... and luckily the "technology" aspects of the film weren't too cringe worthy. I also liked the ending, it wasn't drawn out like most film makers would do. Chappie - 4/10, It had promise but the continued political BS Blomkamp tries to shoehorn into his films is getting tiring. Oh, and someone tell him you can make films outside of South Africa. Two Night Stand - 6/10, A tolerable rom-com-chick-flick. Miles Teller saves it. Ex Machina - 8/10, A really great sci-fi AI film that keeps you guessing. Oh, and it has lots of really hot naked robots. Project Almanac - 7/10, I really liked this one for some reason - I guess because the story was told pretty well and the technology was entertaining. Kingsman: The Secret Service - 9/10, A brilliantly fun film... I was pleasantly surprised. One of my favorite of the year. Unfinished Business - 1/10, Seriously the worst movie I've seen in years and I like all of the actors involved. The story was all over the place, and the characters were annoying as hell. Whoever put one of my favorite actors (Tom Wilkinson) in this ****-show deserves to be shot. Don't waste your time, this isn't even worth a rental or an illegal download. A complete waste of 100 minutes.
"Rocket Science"- 8/10. Wasn't expecting it to be great but wow quite the performance from the entire cast. It kept bothering me who the main character's brother was, so I looked at the IMDB page, it was lucky luciano from boardwalk empire before a tan and slicked back hair.
Total agreement about these films, Almanac was the biggest surprise because I thought it was going to be horrible, surprisingly watachable.
Great sleeper film. The premise is funny (and a bit painful to me as someone who stammers) and a young Anna Kendricks crushes it.
I <3 Huckabees - 8/10 fantastic movie. yeah, I know it came out in 2004, but I was still in high school at the time and had yet to develop an affinity for independent flicks. solid cast, solid ending. would recommend.
jurassic world - 4 out of 5 stars lots of nice throwbacks to first movie. really entertaining coming from a newbie director i just thought he coulda done better job with suspense and horror like the kitchen scene or power generator scene from jp #1.
Age of Adaline-surprisingly great movie; good plot, cast, and premise to keep you entertained. Lively and Harrison Ford really did a hell of a job. 8/10 Chappie-I did like it but felt like it could have better. The movie will pull your heart strings and the ending was totally not realistic at all. Hugh Jackman being the bad guy is something I am not used to. Also featured probably the worst movie soundtrack I have ever heard. 6/10
Get Hard - 6.5/10 I was surprisingly entertained by this. Thought it would be stupid, but Will Ferrell really delivered. Anyone else tired of Kevin Hart's schtick? He plays the same character with the same jokes in all of his movies. It gets very tiring. We get it, he's short and tries too hard to be the man... like he does in all of his movies. Would give this a 7+, but Hart brought it down.
Galaxy Quest- 6.94/10, Huge tim the toolman taylor fan but i missed this when it came out in 1999. Clever film. uffff ufff ufff. never give up, never surrender.
