Last Film You Saw

Gravity. Really intense and beautiful, I regret not seeing it in theaters.

Flash Point with Donny Yen (kung fu movie). It was ok, but nothing that I will remember next week. The last fight was the best part and I saw that on YouTube a few months ago (should have watched the DVD two years ago when I bought it :stuck_out_tongue: ).

The Winter Soldier. Solid movie, very enjoyable, definitely will need to watch again from a proper viewing angle (getting in near the end of the line for an advanced screening doesn’t net you good seats). Whereas Thor 2 seemed kind of meandering, this movie felt focused, like it always knew where it was going. Probably my only two complaints would be too much shaky cam in some of the fight scenes, and [color=’#191919’]for a movie called The Winter Soldier, the actual Winter Soldier is introduced rather late and is treated like a subplot, so we don’t get much exposition on what happened to him and what he’s been doing all these years. It seems we’ll see him again but it’s odd that for a movie titled after him, he’s almost a minor character with hardly any lines. Other than that, it’s quite entertaining and definitely one of the better entries in the Marvel movie universe.

Thor: The Dark World. I don’t like it as much as the first one, but the writing and the humour are still pretty good. Why are there so many shoes in here?

The Muppets Most Wanted.

Fairly entertaining. I like Tina Fey’s utterly fake Russian accent.

Pacific Rim is so fucking good

^Yeeeee

Saw Gravity. It looked and sounded great and that’s all I needed out of it.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Lots of fun. I enjoyed Cap 1 a lot, and Cap 2 was even better.

Warrior - 6/10
The more serious cousin to Here Comes the Boom. Two estranged brothers and their father train for a mixed martial arts tournament as their personal lives fall apart. The teacher brother is such an underdog the entire movie, it’s hard to believe that he could hang in there for as long as he did, so much so that I didn’t believe the ending.

The Protector 2 (Tom Yung Goong 2) - 4/10
This movie doesn’t look right. The cinematography is too dark. The effects shots look poor, to the point you don’t believe some things that really happened because they don’t look right. The costuming is confusing, and the choreography doesn’t help you keep track of which fighter is where and doing what. I can’t tell who anyone is, even when it is a black man fighting a Tai because every scene is poorly lit and everything looks the same. I had no idea there was a three-way fight going on in two scenes until halfway through the second one because there isn’t any indication that the one gang isn’t working with the other. Very poorly done, especially when I rate the first movie a solid 9/10.

did they try and top that one rad longass single take fight

I just came back from Rio 2. /**

The animation is superb. The voice acting is great. The music is great. The story is weak. They tried too hard to cash in on the jokes from the first movie. The two competing villains made it feel like neither was that much of a threat ([COLOR=’#191919’]The Nigel character just felt tacked on. They should’ve stuck with either the illegal loggers or Nigel.)

My favorite character in the movie is Gabi, the poison dart frog. :slight_smile:

Django Unchained. Second time seeing it, this time on TV with my parents. Still enjoyable.

I watched the Winter Soldier the other day. Best Marvel movie by far. The writing was good, the action was brutal, and the plot was actually decent. Highly recommended.

Also, I watched Robin Hood Men In Tights for old times sake. That movie is over 20 years old. It’s still brilliant.

e: dont read this post if you havnt seen the movie i guess

ya i saw winter solider today it was cool how the heroes beat the secretly nazi us goverment by becoming wikileaks and doing their own 9/11 on shield

That edit might have been better to put at the top of the post. You know, just thought I’d point that out.

Edit: there you go haha better

Watched How I Ended My Summer (Как ŠÆ ŠŸŃ€Š¾Š²Ń‘Š» Этим Летом) to do a presentation about it in one of my classes. Pretty good movie. Pretty slow, but I like stuff like that. Had some great cinematography.

Just got back from Transcendence. I also liked this movie a lot.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

Best movie ever.

Transcendence. 5/10. Didn’t care for it. It felt like the characters weren’t well developed enough for me to care about or sympathize with them, and it seems like the side we were supposed to support kept switching, though that could have been intentional. The ideas it presented for us to think about though weren’t all that well explored either, so it ended up feeling like it was just lacking a clear focus (is this movie about Evelyn and Will’s relationship? Is it about what it means to be human? Is it about the pros and cons of our dependence on technology? What the singularity might be like? Governmental thought control?) And then it goes and ends it all [color=’#151515’]with almost the exact same ending as Tong’s option in Deus Ex. It seemed like it had some aspirations for being really unique and insightful but ended up just retreading familiar ground. I definitely didn’t hate it, but it was pretty boring IMO.

Watched Avatar,rooted for humans by the end of it…the movie still looks great but that’s about it.

Pacific Rim. I couldn’t suspend enough disbelief when it came to damage done to the Jeagers.

Also, airforce jets don’t launch missiles from close quarters against land-bound targets. They launch from miles away, and would never fly through the armpit of a behemoth like that in the prologue.
