Nothing but junk released this weekend....
The Drop
Nothing but junk released this weekend....
Interstellar: 7.5
Might need to watch it again to differentiate the plot holes (if there were any)from things I might have missed.
I was waiting to see what you thought of the movie! I've enjoyed each of his movies so far, so I'm sure I'll enjoy this one. It's not so easy for me to get to the theater, so I think I'll wait for the blu ray if it's not the greatest. It was my second most anticipated movie under Exodus. Hopefully that movie is better! I'm going to watch it in the theater no matter what!
Not really! I think I'll get by though! If I get used to the finer things, it might make it hard to go back. That's why when I shop for clothes at Target, I pronounce it with an accent-Targét. That's as fancy as I'll get! I'm just kidding.
I'm glad you enjoyed it more the second time. A strong ending is important for the final impression of a film. As much as I liked the Prestige, I felt like it kind of pandered out at the end. It's still a great movie. How were the characters and the acting?
The Drop
No Drop here.
Lego Movie 11/10 everything was awesome.
Yeah....not one I'm in a hurry to rewatch.
Anybody got anything they'd like to add at all.."No Retreat No Surrender" - 6.5 / 10
Well.. first time watch - yep. I knew about this film for decades - & for whatever reason, never got around to seeing it - especially with a few of my friends being heavily into martial arts growing up & talking about this film.. I'm even more at a loss for an explanation for not having seen it till now.
Yeah. It's a nice story.. when it's not making you cringe. Karate Kid definitely has it over this for longevity. Those 'Bruce Lee' mentoring scenes.. my god - wtf. He didn't look OR sound like him. That token fat guy was beyond irritating too.
Anyway, the kid playing the main character is likeable enough, & his break dancing friend - while annoying, added some cool scenes, like at the club etc. The real draw though, is the fights, & they were all fairly good. The end with Van Damme was a little cheesy in places, but pretty solid. I actually bought this cheap on DVD, so while it not rocking my world so to speak, I've started my Van Damme library now. Again - always been a fan of his old films, but never bought any. till now.
"The Last Samurai" - 8.5 / 10
Well, another film I haven't seen till now. I've always wanted to sit down properly & watch it, & I finally got the chance last night - loved it. I was tempted to give it a 9, but there were a few 'Tom being Tom' moments I felt, which made me chuckle a tiny bit.
That said - the story, the cast, cinematography, the authenticity in recreating period Japan / the Samurai society, the battle scenes - awesome. All in all - pretty damn epic, & I'm going to buy it.
Hahaha @Targét
The acting I thought I was solid from the main cast, McConaughey did a really good job, and I thought Anne Hathaway was incredible. The movie isn't perfect but it's extremely ambitious, I hope we start getting a lot more original science fiction films, superhero films and reboots have pretty much taken over Hollywood.
