Enemy- 6.5/10 Gyllenhaal is becoming one of my favorite actors. That guy in this movie and Nightcrawler are just some devious characters. Enjoyed the movie but the ending left a lot to be desired.
Jurassic World - 8.5/10 Was much better then I ever expected and had some truly scary moments. Reminded me of when I was a kid watching the first one and was scared out of my mind on the front row of the theater. One I would def consider for a home video purchase Dope - 7/10 Really dug this one. Probably won't make a lot of money but definitely has the makings of a cult hit. Some very fine women in the movie too. Wasn't your typical movie based in the hood.
Nightcrawler 10/10. I saw it when it was in theaters and had forgotten how great it is - it is on Netflix for those interested.
Jaws 10/10 Saw this today in the 'Turner Classic Series' at a Cinemark, and there is nothing like seeing this movie on the big screen. You've all seen it dozens of times I'm sure, but when it's on TV, it's been edited down. Amazing to see it again completely unedited and in its big screen glory. Here's to swimmin' with bowlegged women! :grin:
Saw Jurrasic World yesterday. Very entertaining, as long as you didn't think too much. 7.5/10 A couple of days before, I saw Ex Machina for the second time with my youngest kid, who's majoring in "arts and technology" at an excellent university here in Texas. Essentially computer animation. He had to see this flick in a good theatre with an excellent screen, projection, and sound (I insisted). In other words, one of the local Alamo Drafthouses in Austin, which was still playing it. This is a superb film, folks. I gave it an 8.75/10 earlier right after I had seen it. After a second look, I have to revise that up to a 9.25/10, which I consider a freakin' high score. The special effects are incredible (why I had to take him to see this in a good theatre), and it is simply an amazingly good story, with outstanding acting. (and full frontal - just a side benefit, but the chicks are beautiful!)
agree on Kingsman. I was really shocked how great and fun it was. I didn't want it to end. Mad Max Fury Road 9/10 - just great fun and I love the oddity of it all. Black Sea - 7.5/10 - really good drama/thriller that Jude law carries.
Spy - 10/10. Believe the hype! I went into the movie thinking it would have been something akin to a Kevin James movie - formulaic overweight actor / actress getting "laughs" by getting hit, tripping, bodily harm, etc.) But it was really funny! McCarthy is fantastic in this movie, and Statham really shows that he can do something other than action movies. It's like a parody that doesn't 100% try to be a parody...if that makes sense. Go see it! Dang, can't wait to see the scores you give out for the movies you don't love. :grin:
Watched Dope over the weekend and thought it was great - definitely a solid 8/10 for me. I dont know if it would have a lot of replay/rewatch value but definitely a good story and different from other things that generally dominating the box office right now. I want to check out Inside Out this week.
This was actually really good. I'd give Spy an 8.5/10. One of the better comedies I've seen in recent years.
Went to santikos to see Jurassic World. Enjoyed it all the way. I like Chris Pratt. And if you buy that fancy movie cup you can bring it another day and get free refills.
Spy: 8.5/10 - very funny, constant lulz throughout Project Almanac: 5/10 - first half was decent, but once the story was laid out it was predictable. Timbuktu: 6/10 - don't get the critic hype. Some parts were very well done, but the whole thing seemed very nonchalant and emotionless for a serious subject matter. Perhaps they were going for a sense of giving up and carelessness and I'm too far removed from the feeling they were trying to portray, but i had a hard time getting all the way through.
Inside Out: 9/10 - Great movie, definitely deserves the hype it is getting. After watching Frozen, which I didn't enjoy as much as the hype, I was cynical to watch another hyped up Pixar movie but this definitely lived up to the hype.
Pitch Perfect 2 - 8/10 Super cheesy but also I laughed throughout the movie. Don't think i'll be watching this one again.
Pitch Perfect 2 - 7/10 Would hit so many of the girls. The end was kinda cheesy and should have disqualified the Bellas out of the competition. Anyway, with everyone graduating, I can't see the new "legacy" girl play a lead role in Pitch Perfect 3. Alexis Knapp is so hot.
Love & Mercy - 9.0/10 Saw this today and loved it. Paul Dano is phenomenal, as always. Best movie so far this year for me
Horns. Offbeat and original. Good performances from Radcliffe and the rest of the cast. Had quite a bit of promise but a bit tonally inconsistent. Still worth to check out though. 6/10
Frozen wasn't Pixar. That would be Disney Animation Studios, breh Question: which is better: Jurassic World or Inside Out?
