Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

^^ I'm highly disappointed in her. I like Banks as an actress and enjoyed the Pitch Perfect films she directed but damn that white privlege came through.

Thought she only directed the second one? Second isn't as good as the first one

Not only did she hop out there with that comment, when someone at the event corrected her and said he made The Color Purple, she tried to move on and act like the person didn't even say anything

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Yea only the 2nd. First is way better. I don't remember crap from the 2nd.

At trying to go at Spielberggawd like that

The underground battle from the 2nd was good.. but that's about it

Yo I have seen 13 movies this year so far. Don't think I've ever been to the theatre 10 times in a year. 2017 is a great year in film.

2017 is a great year in film.

I didn't realize how many movies I've seen this year until I thought about it to make a comment on here the other day.. actually literally just got back from the mommy, which makes 12 or 13 for me

I'll say it's been an ok year for movies to date.. only john wick 2, GOTG vol 2, lego batman and FF8 weren't underwhelming to some degree to me

Alien has the highest potential that's getting wasted.. I think dark universe will get things figured out





The mummy was ok, don't get the strong feelings I've seen elsewhere on the film.. nick's motivations were pretty weak at the end, expected more from Hyde (height, size and power wise) and the end was kinda abrupt considering everything else to that point

But I have significantly more confidence in the dark universe figuring things out before some other franchise/universe films I've seen this year.. Ridley Scott isn't going change things for the next 2 alien movies.. DCEU still has its flaws in the larger scheme.. no clue what is going on with POTC.. kong was meh.. and can't see King Arthur getting out of the blocks

RIP to John Avildsen.

Dude gave us two of the GOAT underdog flicks in Rocky and Karate Kid. Also two of my childhood favorites.

 

[mastamind033]

Damn, RIP

I've seen Rocky and The Karate Kid at least a dozen times each, just great feel good classics.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Rest in peace, John G. Avildsen.

Watched a couple of movies this week

Patriot's Day 6.0/8

I've said it before...Peter Berg + Mark Wahlberg, and I'm in. Loved Lone Survivor and also Deep Water Horizon. Lone Survivor is the crown jewel of the Berg/Wahlberg pairing, but DWH and Patriot's Day are probably neck and neck following.

We all know the story of the tragic events that unfolded 4 years ago at the Boston Marathon. Even with knowing what was going to happen, it was still an intense movie. The Watertown shootout scene was gripping and true edge-of-your seat excitement.

What got me at the end was hearing the story from some of the survivors and seeing them running the marathon past the location where the bomb went off. Not to mention, Berg perfectly punctuating the movie with the David Ortiz speech at Fenway. I just thought the movie was really well done. If you're looking for a solid film to watch, PD is it.

Silence...MY rating 4/8. However, I can see why it was critically acclaimed and was deserving of the praise it got.

I knew nothing about the movie other than it was a Scorsese film with a solid cast (Andrew Garfield, Liam Neeson, and Adam Driver.) I'm thinking, "hmmm...going to be an epic film along the lines of The Departed!" Nope, not at all. Might be the slowest movie you'll ever watch in your life. 3 hours of almost straight dialogue. From reading about the film after I finished watching, I learned that this was kind of a pet project of Scorsese that was about 20+ years in the making. He seemed to make this film for the love of movie making. True movie buffs will find the entertainment with this film, but for my short attention span, it just wasn't for me. That being said, I did make it through the whole move without falling asleep, but I did start messing around on my phone about an hour in. The acting is top-notch and from a historical context, it was interesting to see how Catholicism was viewed in other countries around the world when the religion/Christianity was seen as "taboo."

Anyways, my rating is low just because it didn't hold my attention. That shouldn't take away from how solid of a project this actually was.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Damn RiP.

My dude has two of the GOaT time.

Need to go to the movies bad, brehs *scratches neck*

Been a while since I went to a theatre for MY cinematic needs (took my son to see Cpt. Underpants earlier this week).

On another note, was doing errands earlier & as I was leaving the mall, hit a jump stop, did a double take & stopped/complimented some cat who was rocking a Bill the Butcher tank

I would say wait til you can see it for free or on any service you already pay for


Wish I got to se GOTG vol 2 at the IMAX.. maybe even the new alien, although it had its issues it had some cool visuals

Fast and Furious8 is a 7/8. Might be top 3 of the franchise

Like right now or on the whole?

Cause them movies are done when dom and crew are out

 

[a-friend]

Fist of Fury is on STARZencore.

Bruce wasn't human.
He definitely was in tune with the Universe.
Convinced he used more of his Brain than we normals access.

Reclaim. 1.5/8

Lifetime movies are better than this pile of crap

Bad acting

Corny performances

Cheap production

Over the top, unrealistic

Not even John cusack could make this heaping pile of trash slightly worth watching.

I GODDAMN HATE THAT THEY TOOK THE STAR RATING SYSTEM OFF NETFLIX!

Got me watching these piece of **** films saying it matches 98% of my taste. FOH

 

[robtoofresco]

1.5 rating caught my eye like got damn.

 

[mastamind033]

Wtf is Reclaim? and Cusack has never made a movie worth watching

Famb, I literally just done with that maybe an hour ago.

Its enjoyable.

Nothing ground breaking, so don't some Chris Nolan twist.

7/10

Well worth my time in the house.

 

[robtoofresco]

7/10?

Was that the release date or something?
