Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.

Shame 7/10 Fassbender and Carey Mulligan are great. Well made film about sexual obsessions and not being able to connect to actual people. I never need to see Fassbender's **** again. Between this and Hunger I am good thank you.

Ah yes, the famous blanket statement by a stoner "weed doesn't kill brain cells" line It depends how it was treated there genious.

It's so funny when one discovers pot. They think they know it all!

Life of Pi is a bad version of 127 Hours.

I see where you are coming from. I saw Life of Pi in the theatre last year. It looked great, no question about it. The tiger was especially amazing, but that's where it ended for me.
I get the whole what do you choose to believe thing they were going for, but for me it was a bit too preachy and religious.

I rated it a 7/10 after just seeing it, but I think I'd lower that to around 6/10 now after a couple of months.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.

Had a Marvel Cinematic Universe marathon over the weekend...

Iron Man - 10/10
The Incredible Hulk - 8/10
Iron Man 2 - 7/10
Thor - 8/10
Captain America: The First Avenger - 8/10
The Avengers - 10/10

This is the first time I have gone through the MCU Phase One in one go... I got a really good kick out of seeing them like this.

Its interesting to see the characters develop from their solo movies into the big event of The Avengers.

Favourite character has got to be Captain America, he's the one I found myself rooting for the most in The Avengers.

Captain America
Hulk
Iron Man
Thor
Black Widow
Hawkeye

Burt Wonderstone 5/10. My son and his friend (they're 12) enjoyed it a lot, but it was short on laughs for me. Carrey is funny in an understated way for him, but I really wanted them to do more with the whole magic concept, getting to the heart of what makes it great, which is what they talk about, but never really show.

Men in Black 3 - 7.5/10 - I had low expectations but I was surprised at how good this was. I had thought the Joss Brolin thing would be a one note joke but he was great. Will Smith carries most of the film and makes the ending work. It was still the formula from 1 & 2 but it worked better this time than in 2.

I'll catch it on cable. Olivia Wilde is in it but otherwise meh.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.

Actually, no - not a good post.

Life of Pi is NOT a religious movie, nor was it 'preachy'. I personally am very anti-religion, but that doesn't mean I shut my brain off when someone brings up something spiritual. There's a huge difference.

The movie goes out of it's way to set itself up outside religion right from the start, through Pi's acceptance of all religion as having some piece of spiritual truth. His father believes you must believe in one, or you don't believe in anything. Pi disagrees.

How you take his story, and which version you believe is true, is the whole value of the movie. It says a tremendous amount about you, who you are and how you look at life overall, and is well worth spending more than 10 seconds examining. What you believe is true is much less interesting than why - it's an excellent opportunity for a little self awareness, something far too many people lack.

Yes, this concept is couched in spirituality, but that's not religion.

The whole movie is about the challenge of telling a story that will make someone believe in god. It's very religious. Only at the end, when

Spoiler

Pi is telling both stories, you are given the choice between self determination and faith. Which is way too rushed to even consider.

It's an over the top, religious allegory that fails on almost every level that it tries to be.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.

God does not equal religion. If you believe it does, then I can see why you'd write off the film as preachy and religious.

This is also very much a story about faith, and not just faith in a God, but faith in anything, and what that means. In fact, I'd say that this movie has nothing to do with anything external (God, religion), and everything to do with things that are purely internal (faith, spirituality).

I find it interesting when people say the film is trying to get anyone to believe in God - you could easily take away from this film that the only reason anyone believes in God is not because he is 'real', but as a way to survive the harsh, crushing reality of life.

I was very bothered by the film during the first 30 minutes, because I did think it was going to turn into nothing but religious propoganda. But it didn't - there's more here than that, and I enjoyed it the more I spent time thinking about it. I've only seen it once, but I may pick it up to watch again and see how it plays on a second viewing. It's the type of film that could go either way, depending on how well the begininng supports the end.
