obfuscator Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Matrix Reloaded now. Not nearly as good as the first one. Unnecessarily sexualized plot combined with an over-reliance on (poor) special effects....4/10.

obfuscator Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 And Matrix Revolutions. Also pretty bad. Maybe a 5/10. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Bought the Bond set on Blu-ray, so working through all the Bond movies. I have apparently never seen Dr. No or From Russia With Love, because I didn't recognize any of it. That's a pretty big deal for me, since I've been going my entire life now thinking I had see all the Bond movies. Now we get to see if I missed any others (I know I've seen the next one, Goldfinger).

Kalphite Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I saw Looper last weekend. It was a pretty great movie, but I just couldn't buy the characterization. A lot of the characters just bugged me because they were just archetypes without enough motivation for their actions, like [hide=Spoilers]when his future self kills a bunch of kids because some completely unrelated people killed his wife.[/hide] Just stuff like that bugged me, a lot of characters made drastic actions without having enough actually believable reasons to do them. still a good movie, but definitely doesn't top Moonrise Kingdom or even Chronicle for me this year, better than all the superhero movies though.

decebal Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 [hide=Spoilers]when his future self kills a bunch of kids because some completely unrelated people killed his wife.[/hide][hide=Spoilers]While I know what you mean about archetypes, one of the kids would have grown up to become the Rainmaker, the person that wanted him dead, killed his wife, and became a mysterious and dangerous mafia boss in the future. That's why he sent himself into the past to commit a heinous act to prevent future heinous acts.[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The character just bugs me I guess, lol. He killed about 20 people over the course of the movie because of one person that was killed in his life, sort of strips away the delusion that he's doing the right thing.[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, what makes you think that the director was trying to portray Old Joe as the good guy? It looked to me like Old Joe was portrayed as a man that lost too much, and is now a mad man on the loose, with only a hint of remorse left in him shown by his hesitations before he killed. No one in the movie was wholly good, they all had demons inside of them, driven by the dangerous attractions of city life, such as drugs and money.[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalphite Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 So not to steer away from the forum's largest chain of spoiler tagsm but.. I saw the Perks of Being a Wallflower today. Such a fantastic, fantastic film. Never read the book but it was just excellent, second only to Moonrise Kingdom for me this year. Though all of you are probably already familiar with the story so I'm not going to go into to much detail, just its probably the best adapting to high school movie I've seen.

obfuscator Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Just watched The Usual Suspects. Quite good. 8/10 "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Fire with Fire (2012).Don't be fooled by Willis on the cover - it isn't *that* epic.A little too generic with the storyline, but still a fairly good watch.4/5. Universal Soldier - Day of Reckoning (2012).Little bit of a disappointment compared to The Return and Regeneration, but not totally a waste of time.Had some good action scenes, and Van Damme/Lundgren don't fail to deliver with what little time they're allocated.3/5.
