Superman: Unbound 6.5/10 Bland and predictable. A few good action sequences.

There have been better Brainiac stories in JL(U).

Watching Brainiac freak out from some bugs flying around his head was f-cking idiotic.

Contrast that with the badass scene in the Justice League Unlimited Justice Lords story where Wally takes down Lex/Brainiac by running around the planet so fast the Speed Force nearly takes him.

Either improve of that or don't bother.
 
Oblivion - 7.5/10 - A good simple Sci-Fi flick. I loved the drones. They were bad *** and mad kewl digitial tiger-like sounds. Saw the 'twist' coming early on though...

The Great Gatsby (2013) - 5/10 - Had to read this back school, but didn't remember any of it. :lol Decent acting and story but the ****ty CGI ruins everything. Everything looked fake. Also felt like it was going on for hours and hours. And hip hop music? The director should have watched a few episodes of Boardwalk Empire.

Don't Go In The Woods (1981) - 4/10 - I like super low budget slashers, but this thing was bad. :lol

Though I didn't really have any desire to see The Great Gatsby, I know I'll complete ignore it now that I heard there was hip hop in it. Why? Wasn't it a period piece?
 
Well you can play any music from any period in a movie, as long as say Don Draper isn't turning on the radio and hearing Def Leppard's Pour Some Sugar On Me.

The problem I had with the hip hop is this movie takes place in the roaring 20's. Jazz was thriving during this period with some fantastic rhythmic music. That should should have been dominant instead of some throw away Jay Z tunes.

Don't dismiss it because of that. I wasn't sure how that would work either but I thought it blended in nicely. It wasn't like all of a sudden a rap video started. Most of the songs seemed to have been done in a way to have a 20's feel vibe. I will say the guy that directed it is know for doing odd stuff with films based on his previous work.

:lecture I enjoyed this movie, and this is on of my favorite books of all time. The director of this one also directed the 1996 Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rogue so this "stylization" is something he's done several times.

I'd give this movie a 7/10 for me. I really liked the costume design, set pieces, and the acting performances. For me the biggest problem was that the movie did seem to get a little drawn out.

I've never read the book but I admit the movie has made me interested in doing so. I've seen Romeo and Juliet which I didn't care much for either way but had never seen Moulin Rogue. It just didn't feel too crazy with the sylization in the trailer to make me want to see it, and the movie itself stayed true to that. It was nicely balanced I think in that regard.

I gave it an 8 but I could see a 7 depending on what issues one had. I agree all of those were pretty darn good and I could see it getting some Oscar Noms for certain aspects.
 
Side By Side: 10/10

"Side by Side is a 2012 American documentary film directed by Christopher Kenneally. The documentary investigates the history, process and workflow of both digital and photochemical film creation. It shows what artists and filmmakers have been able to accomplish with both film and digital and how their needs and innovations have helped push filmmaking in new directions. Interviews with directors, cinematographers, colorists, scientists, engineers and artists reveal their experiences and feelings about working with film and digital — where we are now, how we got here and what the future may bring."

Loved it. So very interesting and informative.
 
A Royal Affair (2012) 7.5/10

A Royal Affair (Danish: En kongelig affære) is a 2012 historical drama film directed by Nikolaj Arcel, starring Mads Mikkelsen, Alicia Vikander and Mikkel Følsgaard. The story is set in the 18th century, at the court of the mentally ill King Christian VII of Denmark, and focuses on the romance between his wife, Caroline Matilda of Great Britain, and the royal physician Struensee.
 
Cogan's Trade...err, Killing Them Softly-9/10. I loved it, and that last monologue from Pitt will probably go down as one of my favorites.
