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

Also did some old watchin over the weekend, first of all The Departed. God damn that was pretty close to a perfect movie. So so good. It actually scares me ALOT about the TWO upcoming White-y Bulger movies since Jack was basically based off of Bulger. Sort of ruins it all for us, seen it all before kinda, ya know? God this was good tho. Walhberg owned that role too, he was so funny yet the perfect go between. My only wish was Damon was a little more manly. Such a carrot in that movie. Wish he woulda played it harder like Leo did. Leo was SERIOUS in that film (surprise there)

And then this one........for whatever reason, I gave Indiana Jones 4 a second look. Haven't seen since it came out, and ya know what, it was a lot better. Still not worthy of sitting on the shelf with the OG trilogy, but it wasn't as horrible as I remembered. It was slightly better. Had the heart, just a smidge short on the crispness of the real Indy. Initially, it was killing me to see Ford old, but now that Cowboys and Aliens is out, and some others, I am more used to it, and it helped me absord this. If this movie was done just 3-4 years sooner, same movie woulda been much better imo.
Not sayin it's worth a buy, or a must watch, nothin like that, but better than my first viewing, that's all.
 
Some people's minds were blown when they realized A. he's English and B. he was Tommy in Snatch
First thing I saw him in other than BE was the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie, which definitely tripped me out a little. I knew he was English from some media stories about BE, but it was still weird seeing him as a pirate and talking with a heavy British accent.
have you guys seen This is England?  He plays a skinhead, it's a pretty good movie imo...
 
Premium Rush
Terrible

I thought it was alllllllllright. Glad I didn't spend money on it tho.

They really had to make Jamie Chung speak with that accent?
Premium Rush was a perfectly acceptable August summer movie. It won't be a tentpole blockbuster, it's nothing you mark your calendars for, but if you're in the mood for something on a Saturday in August, it wouldn't leave you too disappointed.

Also, I bumped the Oscars thread.

Ayyyyy. That was him, wasn't it.

Forgot about that movie. That one scene stuck with me for the longest. :{


THEY NUKED THE FRIDGE! There's no coming back from that
all of this


Premium Rush
I....the....when....>D

It's about the worst people alive, bike messengers. And it wants to be Shoot Em Up, but it really really isn't. Michael Shannon was really good, but everyone else was just a cheeseball in it. It was like a Power Ranger movie, except on their day off.

I didn't hate it, but I get anyone who did.


Also, I bumped the Oscars thread.
I been slackin on watching those. :{

After Watching Do the Right Thing I have came to the conclusion that it is an overrated movie.

If you enjoyed the Departed, watch the OG, Infernal Affairs. Hong Kong flick. Excellent trilogy.
 
Biker Boyz? Really? Just when my last impression of Derek Luke was his guest spot on The Americans.

I don't think it's easy to judge movies that are strictly made for social commentary over 20 years later. It's not as relevant

did you felt the italians were portrayed too steriotypicaly. But I don't think they were. 

The funny thing is, to this day I don't think Mookie did the right thing. At all.

Gun fring was in it!
 
Um.......I Killed My Lesbian Wife, Ηung Ηer On A Μeathook & Νow I Have A Three-Picture Deal With Disney...

A Ben Affleck film.

He is but that still doesn't mean he faked the moon landing haha

Gotta take that movie with a grain of salt

He's the best evr though IMO
 
So I mentioned last week that Jennifer Lawrence was teaming back up with David O. Russell for another movie... alongside Bale, Amy Adams, and Cooper. 

Well he's doing it again. She'll play the lead in The Ends of The Earth, a story about an oil tycoon who loses everything after an affair. Chris Terrior, the writer of Argo wrote the screenplay. Deadline

I like Russell, I love Lawrence, I liked Argo. Hooray.
 
American History X... Crash... Higher Learning... damn I love movies that take an uncomfortable look at racial tensions. Need to go see Django SOOOOOO bad.
 
Just finished watching burn after reading and ammores perros great movies,

I didn't think I was going to like burn after reading,but damn I was laughing alot,
 
I feel Crash was really overrated. Nice format but story wise it was weak to me. Nothing to do with your post's point but I just felt like saying that about the movie.

It was discussed a little while back, but New Girl  really has become one of the best sitcoms on TV. They've been handling the romantic subplot (will they or won't they) incredibly well and it continues to be arguably the most "fun" show where you just want to hang out with these people. 
 
^ I caught an episode last night, first time watching and was impressed.. there were a few stupid parts with Zooey and the other dude (the dude she kissed) making stupid faces which i thought was stupid.. but other than that It was entertaining.. "I found garbage with chocolate on it" :lol
