The Movie Review Thread

[RobRocks]

I loved Guardians of the Galaxy

[bodyhard]

Guardians of the Galaxy is normally not my kind of movie but the kid's loved it and I give it a 4 out 5 stars for parent tolerance.


BH,
You're not one for thinking type movies.

I was annoyed that he never got to kill the mother f'Ker that tortured him!!

Just finish watching The Sniper pretty good it kind of dragged a little, but pretty good.

While I enjoyed the Unbroken book it dragged on for large portions. They crashed in the ocean and survived that and the prison camp. That's it.

The only book I ever read before watching the movie was misery. Other than that I never read any books I just watch the movies, I hate reading.

That shocks you? Then you really don't want to know more about me......

I am the same way. I can get a good idea of what is really going on from the movies. I don't even care if they follow the book or not....lol. Just make it a good/great movie and I am there

NOOOOOOOOOOO.......lol

[bodyhard]

Very true.

And then some.....

[JRT6]

The books I read, about 2/3's non fiction memoir type, I do care if the movie gets it right to a certain degree like Lone Survivor, Unbroken, etc. Fiction books I don't care if the movie matches unless it's so bad the only thing in common is the title ie World War Z.

[stingray72]

NOOOOOOOOOOO.......lol

Haha sorry different tastes for different folks.

[frozensparky]

Inherent vice- I'm not even sure what to say about this POS. I think I would take water boarding over having to watch that again.

I watched Taken 3 the other day and i really liked it.

I was wondering about the comments that would come up regarding that one.
I actually like (1) a bit better than (2).
But, I still look forward to checking out (3).

We rented (Comcast) Equalizer last night.
We enjoyed it....acting was fine and bad guys died which fits perfectly into my genre of choice.
The ending did seem to set us up for a possible sequel....we'll see.

Back at it....

[HeatherH4ever]

And then some.....

(But you are entertaining.)

Wild, starring Reese Witherspoon: Enjoyable, certainly for the excellent performance of Reese and her infinite cuteness. It wasn't as "deep" or emotionally jarring as I was expecting, but it was good and the 2 hours went by very fast. I could have watched another hour, maybe because I was expecting something more to come out of it.

The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch: Another good movie, an enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon, with an outstanding performance by Cumberbatch. As a history lesson, probably not too accurate. It doesn't reflect the horrors of WWII, but then I guess that's not what the movie is about. I googled Alan Turing when I got home to read more, and not surprisingly the movie grossly over-simplified the whole story and the role of Turing and his team in the war effort. But then again... that's what they do in movies.

Agreed with the Reese Witherspoon and her cuteness but I havent seen the movie yet.

"The Drop" - Starring Tom Hardy (Don't get to mire his traps though)

3.5/5

Basically there are pubs called "drop pubs" where all the gangstas store their betting/illegal money over night. Few people plan to rob one of these drop pubs. Tom Hardy works behind the bar at his cousins drop pub.
There are a couple of other story lines throughout the movie which are interesting and the movie actually has a great ending. Would recommend it.

That's how I feel about both Purge movies.

[JRT6]

I couldn't even get halfway through the Purge.

[frozensparky]

I would watch both purge movies on a 24 hr loop before I watched inherent vice again. And I didn't enjoy the purge

Wow that is pretty bad considering how horrible the Purge movies were.

[mcbourque]

My husband and I watched the Equalizer this week-end.
I liked it but he found it a bit slow.

Also watched Automata. Pretty cliche but not bad.

[HeatherH4ever]

I couldn't even get halfway through the Purge.

I really enjoyed the first Purge it had a storyline and made for a good psychological thriller. The second Purge was like watching a 12 year old play a video game. After 15 minutes I gave up.

[Brackneyc]

I saw Ishtar on a plane about 20 years ago (maybe longer, idk). I am still trying to forget that I ever saw that.

I'm watching smokin aces for probably the fifth time right now. Wasn't a hugely popular movie but I really like it. Ray Liota, Jeremy Piven, Ryan Reynolds and a bunch of other really good actors. Story twists and pretty decent action. If you like action/comedies like snatch or formula 51 I suggest giving it a try.

I liked smokin aces as well but didnt care so much for part 2.
