Thoughts On The Last Movie You've Seen

[PhoGarrett]

Just saw San Andreas. Pretty much just a slightly better 2012.

[Niko Montana]

I was re-watching the first Fast and Furious film yesterday. Paul Walker's first appearance behind the wheel of his green eclipse almost made me shed a tear. It will never be the same without PW.

 

I'm also looking forward to watching San Andreas.

[Grandthefter]

Just saw San Andreas. Pretty much just a slightly better 2012.

 

I agree, I loved the film. A great disaster-porn film. Going into the film I didn't have high hopes though, especially after seeing the CGI in the first scene. I assume they were saving their budget for the main event though.

[Kiffster]

Finally watched Interstellar for the first time last night, and I have to say that my initial predictions for the movie were spot on. It was seriously one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. Didn't even understand parts of it, couldn't hear half of the dialogue, but it doesn't matter... Hated it

[wiizardii]

finished watching Birdman (FINALLY) and Foxcatcher..

 

 

Instant classics. I need time for the movies to digest, because they were so good. I might have to watch that Birdman again, because it was so spectacular.

 

F*ck the IMDB and Amazon reviews giving Birdman a one star.

[PhoGarrett]

Saw Jurassic World earlier. So much CGI used that it could've been a f*cking cartoon for all I care.

[Niko Montana]

The Simpsons Movie (2007) was on TV the other day, so I decided to watch it. Great movie, but it should have been made/released in the 1990's when Simpsons was in it's prime.

[happygrowls]

I watched "The Interview" (2014) for the first time yesterday. Eh, it was alright. A few laughs every now and then but it was alright.

[icecoldkilla1467]

terminator 2 judgment day

[Big Gta fan]

I just watched a s*x parody of the dark knight

 

No i'm just kidding,i don't watch lots of movies these days,but the last one was Django unchained.

I saw Mad Max Fury Road yesterday.

 

It was beautiful. I can never watch another film again because it will pale in comparison.

 

I especially loved the explosions. It felt like watching a Transformers movie but i didn't feel that dirty afterwards.

[Amazing Ace]

Watched Fury (2014) for the third time...

As a tank nerd I couldn't help but complain that the entire movie revolved around American armor myths

What are your opinions on it?

[Algonquin Assassin]

The Simpsons Movie.

 

Spider pig ftw.

A friend of mine made me watch snowpiercer and wanted to watch my reaction to it, and it was astonishing. Astonishing how it got such great reviews, it was pure f*cking nonsense, it is something that I think has to be experienced and honestly, I somewhat enjoyed the film for what it was, a sequence of random crap, but it seemed they were aiming to be this big thought-provoking film riding off the inception wave, I would say it failed in that by a huge margin and it also failed to even follow a cohesive narrative. I would recommend watching this film high or drunk or just if you are very eccentric.

 

It starts off with some exposition as to how this alternative and frankly insane future came to be; humans try climate engineering to counteract global warming and it backfires resulting in an ice age. I now quote from the film "All life is extinct" Remember those crucial words. Now of course we have an exception, otherwise it wouldn't be much of a film, the only survivors are passengers of a train powered by perpetual motion, not anything sensible like an underground vault using perpetual motion for a generator, no, a train, but f*ck it let's roll with it,

 

Below is a brief summary of the film in bullet points highlighting memorable moments, there a re a lot, mostly memorable because of the ludicrousness.

 

 

Some of the insane moments in this film include, but not limited to:

• a man getting his arm frozen off by being outside for 7 minutes (remember this for later)
• A woman calling the entire tail section shoes, and herself a hat in some twisted class metaphor.
• Taking a massive leap of faith that the guards haven't made new bullets in several years
• Having 2 characters speak Korean with no subtitles, but in place of subtitles we have little translator thingies that are so damn quiet you have to be a bat to hear (this is how stuck up its own arse this film is)
• Suddenly realising one of them is clairvoyant, for no reason, there was no supernatural sh*t before this.
• Realising the protein bars they were eating were bugs all along, despite ALL LIFE ON EARTH BEING EXTINCT! (except them) WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THE BUGS!

 

This is where the insanity sets in and it starts looking like a parody: It isn't

• A train cart suddenly filled with balaclava wearing, hatchet-wielding madmen.
• A sudden live fish shows up as they slice it open, why? for intimidation, also where did they get the fish? Why is it still alive?
• Suddenly all the hatchet men are Sam Fisher
• Then suddenly the cavalry arrives for our heroes in the form of the Olympic torch
• The mrs Shoe-Hat Lady, to avoid torture or death utters the words and I sh*t you not "I KNOW THE TRAIN" yeah because they would get lost otherwise, might end up going f*cking backwards, trains these days, bloody labyrinths. We need to just take a moment and appreciate that stellar line of dialogue.
• Then suddenly bullets show up again, lots of bullets.
• Then we suddenly meet the secret terminator who survives all sorts of stupid sh*t and is never explained why he is so durable to survive being so f*cked over as he was. You could make a drinking game of how much this guy survives.
• Now almost all the main characters are dead, all of them suddenly and with no real purpose (actually a thing I appreciate) we are left with very few.
• Suddenly the main character can understand Korean without the translator thing that suddenly topped working
• Also all the exposition in that scene and indeed the whole film is in korean, unsubtitled. Yes I am f*cking serious.
• Then we meet the maker of the train who tries so hard at being the architect from Matrix Reloaded it is laughable.
• Then Korean guy blows up the train, leaving 2 survivors to walk outside who are oddly fine despite the whole arm freezing thing earlier
• and they see a polar bear despite ALL LIFE ON EARTH BEING EXTINCT

 

This is as short summary of the plot I can do to show the insanity at play here, I left a few minor things out that were honestly tame compared to the rest of the film like the random mosh pit, there is that much nonsensical crap in this film, it literally makes no sense, how people think it is a good deep story just baffles me. It is an enjoyable film, because it is just so crazy.

Spring (2015)

 

There has always been a place in my black heart for horror movies. They bring something primal and base to the world of film that other genres just can't present. Fear, despair and melancholy are something every person experiences through life. It might not be caused by an axe murderer or some dreadful apocalypse or a prolonged haunting but it's there. It's real, and it's human.

 

Of course, the opposite holds true as well. On the opposite side of the coin are love stories. Not rom-coms, but love stories. And again, the best of these are the ones that feel real. The fairytale ending may be satisfying in the short term, but it holds no real emotional impact. The ones that hurt, where it feels like the end of the film isn't the destination but just a waypoint on the journey, stick with you. (Which is why I think everyone needs to see Eternal Sunshine and Lost in Translation but I say that often enough).

 

Spring takes the stronger elements of both worlds and mixes a strange, heady cocktail of tropes to present one of the more weird and wonderful films of the past year. And in true indie fashion it's the strangeness of it that will mean it'll go underappreciated forever and that's a tragedy.

 

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead make up the directorial team, with two relative unknowns taking the lead, in the form of Lou Taylor Pucci and Nadia Hilker. Pucci is Evan, a young Californian who finds his whole life unravelling around him at breakneck speed. When the camel's back finally breaks he takes the leap most of us dream about and just packs his bags and leaves. Not long after his arrival in Europe he becomes enraptured by the enigmatic Louise (Hilker). The pair share a fast-forged love over a number of days, but Louise can't hide a dark side of herself forever.

 

The entire film seems share the slightly hazy, and jetlagged demeanour that Evan has while adjusting to a new continent. It always seems to be behind a slightly faint, smoky-dewy barrier. Early morning and dusk make up the majority of the scenes too, giving it this eerie ambiguity over when exactly things are taking place. It all combines into an atmosphere where even when nothing seems wrong, it feels different. Like the first time you were drunk.

 

A "strange not scary" bent is evident in how the horror aspects are handled by Benson and Moorhead. There is an amount"traditional" horror fare, especially in some of the visceral, Lynch-ian body horror moments, but also a nihilistic attitude to other moments that would typically be accompanied by a loud, shrill audio sting. Why yes, there is a disgusting animal corpse down that cliffside, but it's not dangerous. It's just a bit weird and not very pleasant. Spring just accepts strange things for what they are and moves on.

 

Spring is a visually beautiful and innovative film. Set on the Italian coast and making fantastic use of drone shots to see the slightly crumbling towns and cliffs from above as well as the two lovers captures a magical feeling about the otherwordly limbo in which the film takes place.

 

This is a horror/romance film unlike anything I've seen for a long time. With a heart as big as some of the tentacles of its monster, Spring will make you sit in a state of unease while reminding you to worry less about working and more about living.

Inside Out.

Made the mistake of watching it while depressed and my tear ducts had to pay the price.

 

Take her to the moon for me, okay?

While I really enjoyed the movie, it is pretty ridiculous and a lot of stuff don't make any sense. You left out some parts:

 

- Pig/cow carcasses hanging in the freezer car. Where the f*ck did they get those animals?

- Where do all those hundreds of rich folk living in the front of the train sleep?

- the part where they shoot at each other through the windows with pinpoint accuracy while the train is moving doesn't even make any sense whatsoever.

- they say no one has ever walked the full length of the train, but what about that bitch in yellow that took the children. She has done so many times before whenever they needed replacements, which I would assume happened regularly because kids grow..

 

Etc. Still enjoyed the movie though

Jaws. Saw the Fathom re-release yesterday afternoon.

Mad Max Fury Road, the movie was simply kick ass and amazing, I REALLY enjoyed the film . The ending chase to the movie had me on the edge of my seat and it was jam packed action almost all the time. I actually had no interest in seeing the movie previously, but a friend invited me to come along with them, so I said "Why not?" because I heard the movie got REALLY GOOD reviews, so I went along with them. I'm glad that I made the choice to see it and I would definitely recommend this movie to others.

[Niko Montana]

I've re-watched the first Fast & Furious movie, twice now (and I feel like watching it again). It's slowly becoming my favorite in the series.

[KyojinEM]

I've watched Fight Club and American Beauty today ( both great late 90s movies )

American Beauty is a better movie imo but i think Fight Club is the movie you could rewatch again and again

 

 

[Reformed Squid]

Inside Out, it's one of the few movies I wouldn't mind watching again, and again, and again, all on the same day. There's so much to be gleaned from it that one viewing just doesn't seem like it was enough.

I just rewatched Spider Man 3

 

 

I don't get the hate about it,I enjoyed it,people like to over exaggerate it like crazy.

[WhatKilledU]

Jurassic World at the cinema,it was a decent film.LOL my brother kept jumping,it wasn't that scary in my opinion.

I was re-watching the first Fast and Furious film yesterday. Paul Walker's first appearance behind the wheel of his green eclipse almost made me shed a tear. It will never be the same without PW.

 

I'm also looking forward to watching San Andreas.

I want to see that.

I just re-watched Inception for the 12th time

 

I f*cking love that movie,can't get enough of it

[Isaiah15500]

Watched Tomorrow Land, was an average movie. Just something to see.

[GTA-Biker]

I watched Terminator 2 a few days ago (I´ll also probably watch first one before watching Genisys in the theater).
