That's a way I feel about movies quite often. It's the reason I don't really like movies like Goodfellas, Scarface, or The Big Lebowski. But for some reason Whiplash just didn't feel like that to me. I don't know why.

Haha, I'm the opposite. I loved Goodfellas and Big Lebowski (not as much Scarface, but it's okay). I just feel like there's way more depth and diversity to those other films. Whiplash, to me, just felt like 2 hours or whatever of two people seeing who can be the bigger douche.

Miles Teller is the bigger douche. Even though he is the "victim" (or whatever) in that film.

I don't know if it's the way he carries himself, or his facial expressions, or what. But every film I've seen him in, I just can't help thinking, "That guy is a douche."

Maybe he is just that good an actor.

Apparently he is a bit of a douche in real life too.

Yea I get that feeling too. I'm pretty sure he and Michael B. Jordan are friends in real life, which is odd since I really like Jordan, but just can't stand Teller at all.

Well, I for one am totally shocked.

No I'm not.

The Martian. I thought it was even better the second time.

Zootopia #7

Deadpool. Amazing.

Terminator Genisys - Dumb as a box of rocks, but if you turn your brain 100% off it's entertaining enough and Arnold is great. But yea, some of the worst plot writing and acting from everyone else (except JK) that I've seen.

The Dead Zone. Man I love this movie. Christopher walken is fantastic

I think the movie started out very promising. Though I didn't have a huge problem with the twist and all that, I think the potential for the movie to be better was there and just wasted.

Rewatched Layer Cake after many years, still a great movie.

I tried to watch Only God Forgives. I made it about 30 mins before I turned it off.

Watched Chef with my kids last night.

That was really nice. Well written, well directed, well acted. Just a really pleasing film.

faizoff · « **Reply #2884 on:** June 20, 2016, 12:21:08 PM »

Chef was great, esp the cameo by Russell Peters. It essentially feels like the adult version of ratatouille.

faizoff · « **Reply #2885 on:** June 22, 2016, 11:44:17 PM »

10 Cloverfield lane. That was a great movie, not what I was expecting.

BlackInk · « **Reply #2886 on:** June 23, 2016, 06:11:28 AM »

Allegiant. Had good moments, but the overall it's just bland. I was hoping for all the usual YA cliches not to happen but then it goes and does it all just as expected. Quite disappointing, but like I said, some cool moments.

This is my least favorite of the YA film series I follow/ed (except for Twilight of course). I'm still on board with and enjoy The Maze Runner. It's turned to pretty much be exactly the same as the Divergent series, but at least TMR does it a bit better.

The acting in the Allegient series is attrocious. We gave up after the second one.

BlackInk · « **Reply #2888 on:** June 23, 2016, 11:05:07 AM »

I thought the acting was fine. Nothing great, but the main girl is fine, and the rest are perfectly functional. I think that they're overall well made movies, but the story is so tired.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #2889 on:** June 23, 2016, 11:48:42 AM »

Hollywood is desperate for a new YA series to stick now that Twilight is over.

BlackInk · « **Reply #2890 on:** June 23, 2016, 03:18:01 PM »

And The Hunger Games. And Harry Potter.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #2891 on:** June 24, 2016, 07:29:38 AM »

Well, the Wizarding World will carry on with Fantastic Beasts and its eventual sequels.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is eventually adapted to be a film.

Bound

The movie the wachowskis made before the matrix. Pretty cool movie, really has that matrix vibe to it. Sleek and cool and Joe pantoliano is amazing as always.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #2893 on:** June 24, 2016, 08:02:35 PM »

Bound is a great movie. It's one of those little known gems. Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #2894 on:** June 24, 2016, 10:50:22 PM »

Immoral Tales (1974)

It is separated into four different stories involving erotic themes: incest, masturbation, bloodlust, and loss of virginity.

The bloodlust story revolves around the actions of Elizabeth Bathory, who used to bathe in the blood of young women thinking it would keep her young. Her story has always been one of the most intriguing throughout history. The actress who plays her is Paloma Picasso, who is the youngest daughter of Pablo Picasso.

Visually it has nods to what they would later perfect in The Matrix. They're great directors but can't really write any more.

Or they need to scale it way down again and do a small movie.

Jupiter Ascending was visually amazing and had some awesome set pieces but the writing was terrible.

Nope. Pretty inevitable.

I think they need collaborators to help balance out their weaknesses; both Cloud Atlas and Sense8 were great.

I watched a documentary on Jaco Pastorius, the greatest bass player of all time, called Jaco. Fascinating and sad. Interviews from friends, family, and fellow musicians, and lots of footage, including a good amount of Weather Report footage. I really enjoyed it.

Scorpion · « **Reply #2900 on:** June 28, 2016, 05:36:59 PM »

Just saw The Neon Demon, and I don't really know what to say. It was visually gorgeous as much as it was psychologically horrifying. I don't think it's a movie that people are supposed to like, but I was certainly very, very impressed.

Haven't seen sens8 but cloud atlas was very meh. Not bad, but far from great.

Source Code - Actually pretty damn good. I was a little iffy on the ending, but I'm mostly okay with it. I like that the big twist wasn't really held off til the end and gave the movie a good amount of time to contemplate the existential crisis of it.
