By s y Go To PostOnly watched the first two Apes movies and thought they were mostly….boring?
idk
they're all 3 good movies. andy serkis is incredible.
Finally got to sit down and watch some films with my Bro being back for Christmas
Spiderman Homecoming - Fresh take on a younger, greener more naive hero who has to choose between passivity and responsibility. Really good stuff.
GOTG2 - Good overall but doesn't hit the highs of the first, the humour is laid on a bit too thick. But it still works and what a feast for the eyes.
Predestination - Absolute mind-fuck, still don't understand what I saw - will have to do several re-watches.
Me, Earl and the Dying Girl - Fantastic and Heart-wrenching scene towards the end (Brian Eno dagawd)
Spring (2014) - I had seen this before, but my bro hadn't the genre shift caught him by surprise and was hooked. The two leads in this bizzare romance are captivating and believable. Truly excellent
Star Wars The Last Jedi - Took my bro, including my two teenage sisters (who couldn't give two shits about star wars ) to see this, I was mugged by the ticket machine for IMAX 3D - but we all came out of that buzzing. Absolutely loved it
"I would have joined those First Order brehs, dem uniforms were bangin" - Bold's Sister

By Smokey Go To PostFinally watched War for the Planet of the Apes. Another phenomenal entry and a great send off. Like how each of the three movies are distinctly different in tone and setting, and yet a trilogy in todays age somehow didn't suck.Yeah, that's pretty good. The jump from the first one to the second one specially was super huge in terms of tone and setting.
I liked the second one a lot, but the third one was a bit boring imo. Still a decent film.
I really didn't think Spider-Man was that good.
The fact that Peter's love interest father is the villain is so fucking dumb and unlikely.

Homecoming's greatest triumph is its authenticity in its feel and message. For the first time, we get to see an authentic high-school film with realistic setting with a contemporary take on the world's most beloved superhero.
I loved Raimi's Spidey, but I think people forget how old that shit is.

By reilo Go To PostTBH I'm just mad that your ugly red headed step child of a prince is forcing Meghan Markle to leave Suits.
Some pissed about this
Watching Atomic Blonde. This plot is needlessly convoluted like a fucking parody of a spy film. Decent action so far. Theron is very good
edit: fight on the staircase and beyond is an all-timer though. You can tell this entire film was an excuse for that scene and fair fucks.
5/10 film. You could push me to 6. 10 amazing minutes in a sea of mediocrity and one strong performanxe.

Yeah, the writing in Atomic Blonde is atrocious, but otherwise on a technical level it's really impressive and I like the style and atmosphere and look of it. I watch the Spyglass fight at the end once a week just to look for seams in the editing because it's incredibly well done from the moment they walk into the building until the last car flip in the street.
I have Atomic Blonde and should get round to watching it
But for some reason, I can't seem to get round to it - I hear there's a lesbian scene, but it seems to be more of a turn-off for some reason.
whats wrong with me?

By n8 dogg Go To PostIt's about 5 seconds longLong enough. They don't call me the quickest hands in the west for my gun dueling skills.
Watching Dunkirk for the first time since cinema. Still think it's really good. The ending is overeditrd though, bit with the lads covered in oil doesn't really work because the editing doesn't lace it in dramatic irony like it does Murphy's character, it just comes across as haphazard and underwhelming.
Still a really solid film. Nolan's best looking and probably his third or fourth best.

That movie has a scene that fucking kills me
By s y Go To PostNope.
I didn't get a screener of it but some of my friends did. I wonder why...
By LFMartins86 Go To PostJesus, how can you people watch something on a 720x304 resolution in 2017?Resolution snobs are the worst.
Just watched Days of Heaven for the first time.
You could make a screensaver out of at least 200 shots from that film; genuinely gorgeous cinematography, and a top class Morricone score to boot.
A tedious and patience-testing first 20 minutes eventually gives way to a proper narrative, which is largely well told but suffers from Malick's lack of interest in human beings. Far too often the edit comes far too early before Gere or Adams have had time to do anything just so Malick can have another shot of a locust or some fucking wheat. You can never settle in a scene or feel any emotion because he all too readily wants to move onto more images of the sun.
A lovely movie in so many ways but not gripping or engaging beyond its visuals and I think that's down to the edit.

By LFMartins86 Go To PostJesus, how can you people watch something on a 720x304 resolution in 2017?Not even 480p? wow, screeners/rips must suck then
By The Kree Go To PostResolution snobs are the worst.It's 2017, we've been able to watch movies at 1080p for more than a decade.
To go back to nearly 90s video quality is unthinkable for me, especially for movies with such careful shot scenes like Call Me By Your Name.
CMBYM is by far my most anticipated movie of the year and even though I know that I won't be able to watch it at least before February as the only movie theatre in my Island has already posted their schedule for January (to my surprise, we are actually getting The Disaster Artist a week after the national premiere), I really couldn't force myself to watch it with such low quality.
By Elchele Go To Post1080p or nothing for me.Digital Media release date is expected to be around February.
Martins, when are we getting Lady Bird ffs
Ain't shit in the theatre right now that I want to see. The trailer for Shape of Water did nothing for me.
Waiting on I, Tonya, Phantom Thread, Hostiles and The Post.
Call Me By Your Name is currently playing at the art house cinema, but the showtimes stink and the screen is really tiny. Might be a blu-ray situation.

Jumanji is the best movie that the Rock has been in by far. Best thing about the movie is that they actually got Jack Black (and to a lesser extend Kev Hart) to act and not just be themselves on screen.

By data Go To PostI fucking hate time travel movieswtf, 12 Monkeys is one of my favorite movies.
By data Go To PostI fucking hate time travel moviesThey are the best, the more mindfuckery they are, the better
I recommend Predestination
Just watch Lady Bird. Really did not like this movie. While I understand the story comes from an emotional real background of Greta Gerwig, it just felt yet another coming-of-age film where the main character have an obnoxious bratty and spoilt brat with building a world around her where we are forced to feel sympathetic towards without giving a reason to. Its sad that all these adults all look at youths with such a contempt because it feels that they just see them as what they portray them in films. The fact that it got 90+ rating on RT is a damn shame, critics are just enabling these directors to make more of these stupid films.
For every great Coming-of-Age films like Edge of Seventeen and 20th Century Women, we get these

Watching Valerian. First 10 mins great. Then dane dehaan turned up with his shit hair and his weird voice and calling himself handsome and basically assaulting delevigne
Can the movie recover from his presence
Can the movie recover from his presence
So Valerian wasn't too bad actually.
I mean, in so many regards it was. Dehaan was horrifically miscast, Delevigne was wooden, their chemistry was non-existent, the world lacked any sense of tangibility, it was distinctly old-fashioned in its gender politics, the dialogue was terrible, the plotting only semi-comprehensible, the film was too long and it was the kind of film that seems to have been written on a scene by scene basis; this last point is particularly egregious because there are moments in this film that are genuinely awful at coming across as organic, natural scripting; the part where Delevigne shoves her head up a jellyfish's arsehole and literally sees clips from the film to track her partner because Besson couldn't be bothered to write anything where she uses her smarts was one example, and another significant one would be where Dehaan says he will always follow orders and listen to commands because he is a soldier literally fifteen seconds after he punches a superior in the face is another.
And yet it's so genuine; there isn't a bone of cynicism in the entire film. It does what it does because Besson genuinely loves the film he's made, and just like Aronofsky's Mother, it goes a hell of a long way to pasting over any shortcomings. It's visually inventive, full of kinetic energy and has an armadillo who shits pearls as its main MacGuffin.
I thought it was alright, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this become a Lone Ranger/Speed Racer where it picks up devoted fans in the future.
