Last movie you saw?

[ozzy554]

Hiroshima Death Match (1973): The second entry in the Battles Without Honor and Humanity series is another frantic fun movie. It's a bit more focused than the first movie with it focusing mainly on one character. Though at times it's obvious at times that characters from the first one were shoehorned into it when they probably didn't need to be.

[Zook]

Mission Impossible Fallout was great. Although it was easy enough to follow, I couldn't remember which movies some of the returning characters were from since its been 3 years since I saw Rogue Nation. The whole time I though Rebecca Ferguson's character was from the first movie, but this was a continuation of RN. I'm gonna do a rewatch of the movies soon.

Ferguson was 12 when the 1st movie came out so she wasn't in it lol.

'The House' with Will Ferrell and Amy Pohler. Utter and complete DUD. You'd think it'd have at least a couple funny parts but it's 1hr and a half snooze fest

'How it Ends' on NETFLIX with Forest Whitaker and a handful of unknown actors. Thought it'd be a cool 'apocalyptic' movie but this was a 2 hour waste of time. Had potential and started off cool...but the lack of story really started to show and it just turned into a really bad movie. Don't waste your time on it.

[Accelerando]

Mission: Impossible - Fallout is GREAT. Since Mission: Impossible 2, which was bad, these movies have managed to not only top themselves, but the quality gets better and better. Fallout is the best of the franchise, and to me, one of the best films i've seen all year.

Hired Gun

Interesting documentary on hired guns in the music industry.  Loved the info from Jason Newsted and Jason Hook, who both have their heads screwed on straight.  The guys from Billy Joel's band just came off as old, bitter guys that are pissed that they weren't still in his band. 


Started watching The Hateful Eight, but just couldn't get into it after the first 30 minutes.  Tarantino's films sometimes come off as a jumble of dialog at times, and if you're not fully paying attention it's very easy to lose interest.

Bought Ready Player One and watched it again last night.

I really think that movie is going to be one of those “go to” all time classics like BTTF. Such a fantastic movie.

It was good and fun, but I highly doubt this will ever be considered any kind of classic.

Yeah....me too. I liked it a lot but it didn't have a 'classic' feel to me. There really aren't any iconic scenes or dialogue....it's just a neat visual movie with a cool yet simple story to it.

I could certainly see a sequel though.....there is plenty of potential for that.

My Bloody Valentine (1981)

This has always been one of my favorite horror movies.  It's well done and the characters are better than a normal 80s horror movie.

It's too cliched and passable to really make any sort of impact that would make it a classic, mostly since it relies a lot on making references to actual classics 

[Adami]

I watched Ready Player One in 4DX.

Now THAT was a ton of fun, and honestly I can't imagine watching that movie a different way. It was the perfect way to watch a movie like that.

That said, once I went home, I didn't spend any real time thinking about the movie. It was like a roller coaster. Fun, but then you just move on.

Been watching several movies lately:

Great
Incredibles 2: Very worthy sequel! The themes of parenthood managing a family are delved deeper this time. Pretty fun.
Mad Max: Fury Road: Finally catched up with it - an awesome, batshit crazy chase. Amazing visuals and direction.
The Big Short: Fascinating movie about the 2008 economic crisis, even if I understood only a quarter of what they were saying.
Fantastic Mr Fox: Very quirky and fun movie about a fox that tries to settle down but makes a big strike for the last time.
Dark City: Very similar to The Matrix in style and tone, about a guy that has a weird power and some aliens are chasing him, and they make everybody fall asleep. It's pretty odd, but an easy watch.
Incendies: Very dark movie about a woman who travels to her mother's home country to find out who she was, and if her father is still alive.

Nice
A Quiet Place: Amazing concept: weird aliens attacked earth, are very sensitive to loud sounds, so people must be very quiet and speak with sign language. Lame execution: bland family, boring characters.
A Clockwork Orange: I love how it's a strong critique to society's obsession with violence and sex, and how prison doesn't work well. however, since it all revolves around a character that's just a dickhead, I found it hard to enjoy.
Cinema Paradiso: Very nice italian film about a guy who loved the movies as a kid, and goes back to his hometown 30 after. Kind of a tearjerker, could have been more effective hadn't the same theme been repeated over and over.
No Country for Old Men: Bold movie that goes against many cliches typical of action films. However, it does so in a way that's not very gratifying. One I appreciate more than I actually enjoy.
Pan's Labyrinth: Literature-teacher-core.
The Machinist: Guy starts seeing things at his work, and shit gets surreal. Is someone plotting against him?
2001: Space Odyssey: I don't mind slow films, but boy some scenes are a tad too much. Amazing photography and direction, looks fantastic even after all these years.
Mind Game: On the one hand, it's very fun, ridiculous and absurdly creative like anything this guy does. On the other hand, it's a bit too dumb and sexual in an immature way. Powerful ending tho.

Meh
Verónica: Eh, typical ritual gone wrong kind of horror story. What a waste of great cinematography.
Rosemary's Baby: I think I really don't like any kind of supernatural horror, and this was bland and predictable.

My Bloody Valentine (1981)

This has always been one of my favorite horror movies.  It's well done and the characters are better than a normal 80s horror movie.

And it has a catchy theme song

[lordxizor]

Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot. Very nice film. Good performances all around.

[Ninjabait]

I just finished watching The Descent. Geez, that was one of the legit scariest movies I've seen. The first half of the movie especially. It builds a lot of atmosphere and tension. The score was very effective, as was the cinematography and lighting. I also liked how ambiguous it was, with the different possible interpretations of who the killer was. I give it a solid 8/10

Before that I watched Trucker and Dale vs Evil. It's stupid in a really funny way, and I definitely recommend it. Another 8/10

[The Trooper]

finishing some awesome brisket and ribs on the smoker,,

gonna do a tom Clancy marathon with my sons

Hunt for Red October

Patriot Games

Clear and present danger

Sum of all fears

Hunt is one of my fav movies ever

The scene in Clear when the cars get attacked is incredible

[pg1067]

Went and saw Mission Impossible: Fallout yesterday.  It was solid.  Probably the most "sequelly" of the MI movies.  I'm glad I re-watched Rogue Nation earlier in the day.  I found it odd that there was no explanation for Hawkeye's absence from the movie (or, if there was, I completely missed it).  He was a pretty important part of both Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation.

Also, I'm curious if anyone knows what instrument the guy was going to use as a gun in the opera scene in Rogue One.  I'm talking about the guy up in the scaffolding (i.e., not Ilsa and not the guy in the lighting booth).  Ethan Hunt eventually uses it to shoot the Chancellor to get him out of harm's way.  I know the answer, so I'm just curious if anyone else knows.

[Grappler]

Added a bunch of older stuff that I'd never seen to my Netflix list.

LA Confidential - amazing, and some incredible twists.  Pre-Gladiator Russell Crowe, plus Kevin Spacey and Guy Pearce.  Absolutely loved it.

[bosk1]

Saw Ready Player One on a plane ride late Saturday night.  It had some cool moments, but I thought it was pretty lame overall.  That said, I couldn't escape the feeling that I would probably love it if seeing it as a teen.

[Architeuthis]

Went to the theater and saw Jurassic World 2.  It had some great dinosaur action and auction, lol!
Chris Pratt is the right guy for these rolls. They need to get better writers for these movies, but the dinosaur action scenes were fun and are the saving grace for the movie. Gotta love the T-Rex triumphant roars.

It looked like a bass flute to me.  It had the extra length of tubing that bends back to the mouthpiece, similar to an alto but longer.  Also, it looked like a higher calibre than what you'd get with an alto.

[bosk1]

Wait, there was an opera scene in Rogue One? 

[pg1067]

Wait, there was an opera scene in Rogue One? 

LOL!  Typo by me...Rogue Nation, not Rogue One.

And yes, Orbert, you're correct.  It's a bass flute.

[bosk1]

  I was wondering how we got from Mission Impossible to Star Wars.

[The Trooper]

Deadpool2 Super Duper cut on Blu ray.

They change up scenes in certain parts, with cuts they did not use in the theatrical version.

Extended post credit.

I prefer the original theatrical, but it was fun watching the alternate scenes weaved into the movie.

A fun watch

[Phoenix87x]

Mission impossible 5. Had some good moments, but I found it kind of derivative and outright boring honestly. Started losing interest like half way through. Felt like this is the 4th time we've done this plot. The motorcycle chase was decent. The villain is corny as shit and not very intimidating imo. Dude get's trapped in a glass box ffs, but whatever. It Had me thinking about the others:


Mission impossible 1- genuinely suspenseful. Very grounded in reality and a very solid De palma film. I've always loved this movie. My favorite of all of them.

Mission impossible 2- Yeah its dumb and hated, but I enjoyed it. I love the motorcycle chase. And its a pure Jon woo film and I'm fine with that.

Mission Impossible 3- A little strait forward but Seymour hoffman is incredible. He nails the menacing feeling.

Mission impossible 4- The first one I didn't like. Just felt like more of the same, and don't remember any of it.

And I have yet to see 6

Couldn't agree more. IMO, nothing comes close to the first one. Just loved the way it surprised the viewer in different ways, and more of 'laid back' approach with a lot of dialogue and not as much special effects.

[MirrorMask]

Is there some kind of deep continuity with these movies or if I watch the first one and then whatever it is the one with the Burj Khalifa in Dubai I don't really miss anything?

Not really.  Other than Luther (Ving Rhames) being in all of them alongside Ethan, that's it.  MI3 and Ghost Protocol have one piece of story line continuity, as do GP and Rogue Nation (Jeremey Renner's character).  Fallout is VERY much a sequel to RN - you really need to see it before watching Fallout... and to some extent, MI3 has a connection with the plot of Fallout.

I was super let down by this movie. I'm never really one to compare a movie to the book, mainly because I read so few books that get adapted to a movie, but the reading the book ruined this movie for me. In my opinion it was way too much material to fit into a single movie.

However, it's the first movie I've seen that put the BTTF Delorean and a monster truck on the screen at the same time, so it gets a lot of points for that.

The Spy Who Dumped Me.

Dumb. A lot of fun, but REALLY dumb. Mostly enjoyed it though.

[Orbert]

Nothing wrong with some good, dumb fun, if it's well done good, dumb fun.

The Spy Who Dumped Me.

I saw this as well. It was certainly dumb. Fairly entertaining I guess, but it was probably 15-20 minutes longer than it deserved to be. I was getting a little bored by the end.

Why am I suddenly hungry for Thai food!
