Duff Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 So I saw Guardians of the Galaxy on Satuday. It was fun. I didn't like it as much as I thought I was going to. I guess I over-hyped myself. Maybe I'll like it better the second time. Also, with regard to TV shows, I started Scrubs on Netflix since I finished up all the episodes of Psych that are on Netflix (unfortunately season 8 isn't on there). I'm liking Scrubs a lot. Just the right amount of humor for me. | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine naked men Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 amazing spiderman 2 - kind of a mess of a movie. green goblin felt jammed in just so they could hit that story note, which was the most obnoxiously telegraphed and pointless thing, though it was a good scene. i didn;t really buy electro or the goblin's changes into villains, especially turning it against spiderman. it seemed like they just went straight on cackling villain because "well it's the end of the movie, gotta wrap things up" rather than for any character driven reasons. i think it could've been fixed pretty easily, too. very pretty though, and the soundtrack was certainly something new and interesting, though i don't know if it worked out too well. i hope electro didn;t actually bite it in the end, though. foxx was probably the best part of the movie. captain america 2 was much better, though i guess more safe and predictable. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Watched Blade Runner for the first time last night. a) Harrison Ford is so damn young it's weird.b) Very confused with the music throughout the movie, especially the saxophone.c) The plot was classic sci-fi and posed a very solid question. But the way it was executed was rushed and kinda lame. But I kinda expected that from a 1982 movie. I'm just glad I can say that I've seen it now, since I'm in to sci-fi and Blade Runner was one of the first big sci-fi movies. 1 | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Loved Blade Runner. We studied it in school, and I even still loved it after that. Ya know it's a good movie when that's the case.

JeRambo Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I watched the new Hercules with Dwayne Johnson. Wasn't expecting anything good and that's what I got. 4/10. For some reason I really enjoy the "older" 2004 Hercules half god, half man, all power movie with Paul Telfer as Hercules, and Timothy Dalton as his "father". I watched it again after seeing the new Hercules. 7.5/10. "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come." "An imperfect man can do great deeds, and a great man imperfect ones.

I'm just glad I can say that I've seen it now, since I'm in to sci-fi and Blade Runner was one of the first big sci-fi movies. Hold off on the "first big sci-fi" line there. 2001, Planet of the Apes, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956!!), 1953 War of the Worlds, Solaris, Alien, Star Wars, THX 1138 just to name a few that predate Blade Runner. Loved Blade Runner. We studied it in school, and I even still loved it after that. Ya know it's a good movie when that's the case. I watched The Lego Movie last night. Pretty awesome. Blade Runner is one of my all-time favorite films Film noir mixed with Sci Fi in a meditation on what it is to be a human? Talk about a film-gasm. Plus a YOUNG Rutger Hauer--the "time to die" monologue he has at the end was a complete deviation from the original script and one of the most beautiful moments in cinema history. I thought the music was perfect, but I'm a sucker for synth music in film--though I never used to be. Anything in David Lynch or John Carpenter films is almost a guaranteed synth fest. Blade Runner 2 with the original crew is in the works, and they have publicly asked Harrison Ford to star again. With him returning to his role in the upcoming Star Wars film, it's possible he might agree to return as the one and only Deckard. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceus Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I saw THX 1138 not long ago and it seemed quite bizarre to me, particularly the use of all that whitespace in the film. I found the ideas kind of similar to "Logan's Run" if you've heard of it. Was there an obsession with the fear of society being taken over/repressed in such a way during that era?

Yamatodamashii Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 All Is Lost Robert Redford (77 years old!) out chilling on the Indian Ocean when a rather naughty shipping container smashes a hole in the hull of his boat. The film's about him attempting to survive. There's very little dialogue, and some scary parts. Worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonanananas Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Lucy. I was skeptical, but tried to keep an open mind, despite the premise of the film (Humans use only 10% of their brain. Lucy gets an overdose of a new drug that increases that percentage steadily, resulting in her being able to use telekinesis, control other life forms etc.). Up to maybe 40% it was a somewhat decent action movie. It wasn't concerned about any real science whatsoever, but it was okay. But beyond that, it completely ditched having anything remotely related to rules. There were some pretty pictures, but the plot went completely out the window [hide=Spoiler for the end]In the end, she turns herself into a supercomputer to be able to pass on all the knowledge she has. And this supercomputer...produces an USB flash drive, then collapses. A simple memory stick. I just can't wrap my head around who would think that would be a proper ending[/hide] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alg Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Watched about 10 minutes of Tim's Vermeer, a documentary directed by Penn Gillette about how his friend (an inventor, and as he stressed several times throughout the intro, not a painter) explored the technology that Johannes Vermeer must have used to capture detail and color that perfectly... because no unaided artist can capture detail without tracing, apparently <_< It's like... I hate to call bullshit on one of the guys that made a name for himself doing just that, but even setting aside the flagrant disregard for the historical context of the artist's body of work, the film's basic premise (that Vermeer was such a genius that can't possibly have worked by hand) really only makes sense if you conveniently ignore that Dutch artists were doing things like this a good 200 years before Vermeer was born. 1 I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akatsuki Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hm...

Duff Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Watched Captain America 2 for the first time. I really really liked it. Lots of action, Captain was a badass, as well as Agent Romanov and Vulture or whatever his name was. Some cool twists which made me glad I watched the first last night to refresh my memory. I'd give it a 9/10. Way better than X-Men and some of the other movies that came out when it did. I think the title of the movie was odd. But any other relevant titles would have given it away. Wonder what they'll call the next one. [hide=Spoilers]Scarlet was mega hot.[/hide] | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Watched Noah. My dad watched it with my mom in theaters and they hated it. But they take religious movies very seriously. I went in only wanting to be entertained, so I wasn't expecting the movie to follow the Bible story very well. But honestly, what the [bleep] did I just watch. I don't think there was a single thing I enjoyed about that movie. Special effects were sub-par (with quite a few scenes being extremely visually unappealing), the story was unbelievably stupid, and just the cinematography in general. I have no idea how this got 77% on rotten tomatoes. I give it a 0/10, which is hard considering I liked much of the cast. I'll hide the rest cause there might be spoilers: [hide]The whole movie I was thinking what the hell was the script writers/screen writers/director thinking when they were making this movie. This dude and his army are going to try and take over the ark? Good thing its defended by these horrible "fallen angels" which look like stupid rock golems. OH, and the leader of the bad guys actually makes it on the ark and with the help of one of Noah's sons, lives there for 9 months without being noticed. Give me a break. And then Noah is going to murder his daughter's two twin girls? Good lord. Oh, and if the movie couldn't get any worse, once they reach land, Noah becomes a [bleep]ing drunk and isolates himself from his family? I think the only word I can use to describe this whole movie is ridiculous. I tried to respect someone's imaginative interpretation of the story, but simply as a movie, Noah sucks some major ass. The story line was idiotic. Anyway, I'm done ranting.[/hide] 1 | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeRambo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 A Walk among the Tombstones. Not too bad, I enjoyed it. After having read several reviews before seeing the movie, I was afraid it would be overly brutal, but it wasn't as bad as I had imagined. Still an adult movie nonetheless.
