Rate The Last Movie You Watched - Page 825

I really liked Fantastic Mr Fox. Maybe it works with his style.

7 Psychopaths 8/10

 

Atleast its original, the story is engaging, but has very good shock value, the acting is top notch, and a bit of quirky dark humor.

The best thing is, you don't really know what to expect, until the very end.

Regarding moonrise kingdom. When I tried to watch it couple of months ago I couldn't continue past 20 minutes.

The Paperboy(2012) 2/10... And I'm being generous. I will just avoid from now on any film that has Mattew mcconaughey in the cast. He seems to fancy the gay/disturbed roles especially in that chicken movie.

Yes, animation suits him well.

 

Anyone watch the Golden Globes?

I think the Foreign press stuck it  to the Academy with Tarantino winning best Director.  Ridiclous that he wasn't even up for an Oscar nomination.

He won best screenplay, actually. Affleck won best director--though he wasn't nominated by the Academy, either. 

 

It was sort of a weird night, I thought. I was fairly pleased with about half the wins--the other half I was like, 'wha?' Though I suppose I should have expected Le Mis and Brave to win in their respective categories--award ceremonies just automatically reward Pixar and musicals, even if they don't measure up to the competition.

Patrice O'Neal:Elephant in the Room (2011) 8.5/10


bill burr:You people are all the same. (2012) 9/10


I've watched all three of Bill Burr's comedy specials,he is one of my all time favorites.
Took a look at O'Neal last night on Netflix,straight up great comedy.

If you share watching a comedy special with someone,things can fall flat quickly.
You are splitting your sides over an episode and look over at a silent guest,who is wondering:what exactly are you laughing at?

Usually I'll surf YouTube on the wireless from a Galaxy phone just before falling asleep to find a couple laughs.
This Apple Store spoof broke me up,I'm sure others will view it with disdain...

The Dark Knight Rises (2012) 8/10

 

One of the better super-hero movies out there tbh, but I was so disappointed by how they dealt with Bane, and that ending, I still have no idea how he survived that.

My bad.

In the beginning-middle of the movie they mentioned something about Ejection Seat.

Currently on SyFy....

 

 

It's been years since I saw this, so giving it a go. interesting to see a bald and skinny Tom Hardy....

 

At then end of the movie, Fox was told that Bruce fixed the auto-pilot

Yeah, that is right lol

I was pretty eager to see this given all the amazing feedback. Finally got around to seeing it last night. I did think it was really well done and it held my interest throughout. That being said, I have to disagree with some of the reviews that were REALLY effusive with praise. I thought it was a solid film that I enjoyed, but I wasn't totally blown away. Part of the problem was that it didn't feel completely fresh for me since it shares a similar plot to Raid: The Redemption, which is another very solid film. Having grown up on Stallone, Eastwood, and Arnie films, I really liked some of the one-liners that Dredd got to have some fun with. I felt Karl Urban did a find job in the role. 

 

"Dredd" - 8.4/10

 

I haven't watched "Raid", nor do I intend to. But I still love this movie for the mix of themes (apocalyptic/sci-fi/hardcore shootout).

Not to mention, how badass the character is.
