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

So I got around to watching Hesher and I enjoyed it.

Little kid really did his thing for a kid dealing what he dealt with. Really could connect with that. JGL is JGL, really good as the title character. I almost didn't get it when I caught pieces of the movie before but I see what they're doing with this squatting drifter that lost his nut. Natalie Portman is in it too so there was that.

I also watched your Highness a few days ago just cuz she was in it. Really bad movie.
 
Any kung fu film heads in here?
Being the Wu Tang fan that I am, they put me onto a ton of flicks. Mainly those old school Shaw Brothers movies. Randomly searching for some new martial arts movies I found this. Going to watch it whenever I get a chance
Looks awesome did you find any others?
 
Any True Blood fans?

If so, without spoiling anything, do you like the dialogue?

Do you like the character interactions?

Is there action?

I saw that the union leader from the wire is in it so that's why I'm interested in checking this show out.
 
Just watch a couple episodes and see for yourself. 

It's a cheesy soap opera at times... it's funny and a guilty pleasure at other times. And there's attractive women too.

There are far superior shows you should watch or finish before watching True Blood.
 
Wait what :lol Gail the Snail is not cute.
I'd smash

Yeah, True Blood is utterly ridiculous in many ways, but can be very enjoyable. I watch it and will continue to watch. But I could see someone not liking it at all.
 
It looks like doo doo to me also but I've never been a Baz Luhrmann fan. He's one of the few directors where I've never been able to finish his flicks.

The only film of his I like is Romeo + Juliet.. I'm going wait and see what people have to say before I going and watch.. IF I go and watch


But I have no real desire to go and watch

+1. I might catch it on cable at some point, but that's about it. Baz's films are generally too stylized and over the too for me.
 
I saw the Gatsby with Redford/Waterston... Thought it was okay. I think the Gatsby coming up won't be great, but better than most people think.
 
"You're just mashing it"

True Blood was really good first season then it got a little too loose when the popularity came and became more soapy. I still enjoyed the episodes I watched but I stopped last season when I went to LA for the month it first came back and haven't really had the desire to go back and watch. Will eventually but only really to see my baby Anna get her back broken.

24's another one, loved the show but you see one season you've seen them all except for a key couple of scenes. Still need to watch the last season.
 
Saw Place Beyond the Pines...I liked it. It's uh...it's complicated.

I don't feel like writing about it, so...just see it if you can.

Mmhmm. Once every chick on twitter started spazzing for every new ep, I knew it was a wrap.
Didn't really like Zombieland, but I'm still going to watch it because it's about zombies.
As much as I hate the ideas of movie spinoffs and the internet's Walmart making TV shows, I'm still a sucker for zombies.

This was good enough for what it was, I guess. It's a nice change of pace from The Walking Dead, since tonally it's way the other way. They got the budget of Nathan For You, but the writing's not terrible. The cast is extra whatever, though. Why didn't they just start from scratch? Picking up where the movies ended, means we kinda don't learn to like any of the actors. Ehhh. I'd watch.
Watched Broken City last night. Meh. Decent cast, but wasn't as good as I hoped. Reminded me of State of Play, another Crowe paycheck movie. Decent, kills the time, doubt I need to see it ever again.
How did they get all these good actors to show up for this? What was the bait and switch? Did someone tell them Scorcese was directing?
Did anyone catch Defiance on Syfy last night? I completely forgot about.
Kinda...interesting? I dunno. It makes me just wanna rewatch Farscape. If you like any sci-fi things...give Farscape a chance. It's very sci-fi, but it's really good too. It has characters that would be great out of the context of the show. Great bad guys. Super memorable. I wanna watch it again, just to see how much of me thinking it was amazing is just middle school nostalgia.

But yeah, what I was talking about?

...Defiance...it just feels like a lot of shows. And for me...with sci-fi...you gotta be amazing or amazingly different, like Firefly or BSG, or I just can't stick with it. This is light. This feels like it's checking boxes. And it checks em. But I want something more. This is the CBS version of a big sci-fi show. Rita from Dexter AND Jenny from L Word. Ehhhhh.

Man I saw some commercials for Defiance, saw that it was like 2 hrs, peeped the lil description when I pressed info and just decided to pass after I gave it like 3 min of my time. It was like I was watching an okay sci fi movie for the first time with commercials, just couldn't keep my attention.
 
Yeah I got around to watching it. It was okay, nothing to really rant and rave about. Def wasn't as good as Firefly or BSG but good enough for me to check out the next episode, I'll probably tune in for the entire season. I'm not sure if it was so long just because it was the series premiere or what. Syfy seems to have some decent looking shows, I've never any out but Warehouse 13 and Lost Girl seems interesting.
 
I think I might be in a very small minority of those that watch a lot of foreign flicks. This one's called The Hunt starring Mads Mikkelsen who plays a divorced father that is under suspicion of child molestation. It opens July 17th. Looks really good...

Crowe and Wahlberg haven't been in a good action movie in about 6 years now (American Gangster for Crowe, Shooter for Wahlberg). They're not top of the line actors in that field anymore.
 
Every time my cousin Vinny comes on I stop what I'm doing and watch. I only think I do that for 3 movies.

Top 3 comedy of all time. Absoulutley ******g hilarious

If you somehow havent seen it you really need to.

I think a classic comedy is much harder to find than any other genre. I still haven't gotten through all of caddyshack lol. Was disappointed.
