Honest Movie Trailer

Oh man, 100% this. "And an idiot woman who can only run in straight lines." :lol:

But I agree about the visuals -- they were top-notch. I just couldn't get over all of the frustrating inconsistencies enough to enjoy them.
 
Arrietty - Good

How does it compare with other Miyazaki? Or is that one by his son?

The Raid: Redemption - Great

Ooh, I really want to see this. I'd also like to see Dredd because it's supposed to be pretty much a rip-off (and also because I grew up with the comics).

Seven Psychopaths - Good

In Bruges good? It seems too packed with cult actors. Have you seen his brother's The Guard? I wanna see that too.
 
Arietty was only scripted by Miyazaki, but the movie itself is great. The English dub is a little too jokey, but otherwise it's great. Reminds me a lot of recent Miyazaki in tone and pace, but more grounded and less fantastical. Low-key and fun.

This. BlazerCaravan sums it up perfectly. I liked it more than all those crazy ass miyazaki films.

I haven't seen In Bruges, but I've seen The Guard. I quite enjoyed it.

Seven Psychopaths reminds me of the movies that came out in the early/mid 90's. Lots of quirky characters and heaps of over the top violence, the latter of which I don't really have a taste for anymore, but It was still fun.
 
Random movie memory...... I saw earlier the Clay Pigeons link on here. That was a real cool movie. ANother one from that time that I really liked and haven't seen since is U-Turn! Great cast.......

Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Jennifer Lopez, Powers Boothe, Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Voight, Joaquin Phoenix, Claire Danes, Liv Tyler
 
I recommend in Bruges. It's pretty effed up in parts, but good enough to get you through the "WTH?" moments.
 
Dark Knight Rises. I give it 2 and 1/2 stars out of 4.

The "super criminal" was really a disappointment, not really worthy of a Batman comic and he was very hard to understand when he talked through that stupid looking muzzle. The total absence of organized crime and street gangs taking offense as well as a lack of armed citizens getting involved made the plot seem a bit silly. The action scenes were decent and the pace was good.
 
...so I ended up watching Butter, great movie -- it was hilarious -- out of left field -- loved it!

Lincoln was an excellent movie. The pacing was fine. Maybe Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter would have been more entertaining for some.

Totally agree with this. I thought Lincoln was riveting and I wasn't bored for a second. Daniel Day Lewis was amazing.
 
...Jesus Henry Christ was another good movie, check it:

Rotten Tomatoes rating: 86%
Impressive (voice) cast. An all-ages zombie comedy. Portland's LAIKA studios' attention to detail is awesome

I have been catching up a bit


My wife got me to watch John Carter, I enjoyed it

Cowboys and aliens was as I expected, meh

Tower Heist was meh minus, but to be fair I dont enjoy the lead actor
 
John Carter was a surprisingly decent movie, i was expecting a Waterworld type of bomb.
 
Has anyone seen Moonrise Kingdom? I've been thinking about ordering that for a while.
 
Expendables and Expendables 2, back-to-back.

Forehead-slapping funny, and over-the-top digital blood spatter for days. The movie makes it painfully clear that Stallone did not take Physics in high school.
 
Has anyone seen Moonrise Kingdom? I've been thinking about ordering that for a while.

Same here. I've read it has that Royal Tenenbaums/Rushmore feel to it.

Rotten Tomatoes has a 94% rating for Moonrise Kingdom.

I enjoyed it. Quite a cast considering most of the big names are fill in.

...yes, I watched Moonrise Kingdom a few nights ago -- it was a good story that just buzzed along until the very end, had that same quirky feel as RT and Rushmore -- definitely a worthwhile flick.

...I watched Why Stop Now last night -- a good time filler for a comedy drama -- powerful ending!

Seeking a friend for the end of the world - 9/10. A cleverly funny, well put together movie with a heartwarming ending.

Step up 4 - 3/10. Girlfriends choice for movie night...... Terrible acting. Gave it a 3 because the dance scenes were entertaining.
 
Loved Moonrise Kingdom. Right up there with Rushmore. Better than Royal Tenenbaums
Lincoln was great.
Life of Pi was great.
Saw Cast Away on cable last night - as good as ever.

Can't wait for Les Mis!
 
I finally watched Moonrise Kingdom, and I agree that it's a great movie, but I was sort of mislead (by my own stupidity) about what the movie was really about. It was a quirky, young love story with actors like Ed Norton, Bruce Willis, and Bill Murray playing ancillary characters, with the real storyline revolving around the budding love of a young actor and actress. It was touching, but at the end of the day, I sort of expected more of a humorous edge and a better storyline involving all of the great supporting actors. Wes Anderson still delivered from an imagery perspective though.

The next movie I've got on my to-watch list is the 2008 movie about The Wrecking Crew, that being the title.

I figure that no one here's probably seen it, because it's a documentary on the obscure end, but throwing a stone in the dark, maybe 3raniac would have seen it. I've just been reading a lot into what made some of the great sounds of the 1960's and how involved yet uncredited the studio musicians of the day were, especially Carol Kaye and the Wrecking Crew. I'm really just trying to watching it for informational purposes rather than for entertainment, but I was wondering if any of ya'll have gotten a chance to watch it yet.
