X-Men: Days of Future Past - Rogue Cut - 9/10

thx.. forgot about this

 

[Aikouka]

Jurassic World -- 4/10 - ...

Spoiler

There were many others. I'll mention just one more. The two kids resurrect a Jeep that's been sitting in the jungle for 20 years with just one or two turns of a socket wrench and a 20 year old, uncharged battery. The gas didn't go bad, and the tires didn't deflate or dry rot, nor did the brakes rust together. Sure.

I was wondering the same thing, but by the time I got to that point, there were enough moments that I didn't really care.

Plus, after watching Parks and Recreation it was just hard for me to fancy Chris Pratt as a he man hero.

He was already in Guardians of the Galaxy, so it wasn't too much of a stretch.

Gummo - 10/10 would watch again during dinner

Mission Impossible Rogue Nation 8/10 - I really liked this, there were some slow parts but it was definitely better than some of it's predecessors.

I did like Pratt in Guardians, as I thought he was perfect for that role. Jurassic World...not so much. Not that there was anything demanding for this role; he just didn't seem to fit for me. Too goofy for what should have been a somewhat more serious character--meaning a scientist/animal trainer type which tends to take their job rather seriously.

Last Vegas 9/10

kirk douglas, morgan freedman
4 life long friends, now in their 70s, for one last hurrah in Vegas.

I really liked it

Oh man, Ricci was pure sex in that movie.

American Hustle - 9.5/10

Now this is a Oscar worthy movie. Story was incredible and, at times, made you feel bad for the "bad" guys.

 

[Ichinisan]

Such a frustrating movie to watch. I feel like punching my friend in the head for bringing it over. It was good, but so damn frustrating.

You'll have to see it to understand.

Since none of us can see his hot-linked image, he's talking about a movie called "After Life."

is that still a thing?

 

[her209]

A History of Violence - 6/10

Kept you guessing but fell short on the main character.

 

[shortylickens]

is that still a thing?

Only in her movies from 2002 to 2008.

I think.

 

[purbeast0]

get hard - 5/10 - pretty meh overall, had some funny parts but also had a lot of bad/raunchy parts that just felt way over the top.

Birdman - 9/10

I loved the cinematography and thought Keaton's performance was brilliant and Zach Galifianakis was also very excellent.

 

[Wookiestick]

Terminator: Genisys - 6.5/10
Decent movie and they worked the story around the fact that Arnold is a machine and ages. Retreads a lot of old ideas though.

 

[NuclearNed]

Just curious - did anyone see "Shaun the Sheep" this weekend? The wife & I really like the tv show, and the RT ratings are out the roof (~99%), but apparently it made virtually no money on opening weekend.

Aardman stuff doesn't play well to NA audience unless they have big hollywood name attached to it. Shame really.

Humans e1 - I am really disappointed. I really enjoy scifi and sadly hoped this show was going to be about the interactions between androids and humans and the consequences of a robotic workforce and companionship. They look like they attempted to do that with the old man and some of the family, but they entered in some garbage "some are special" bullshit plot.

Writers, please! Merely emotional conflict is enough. Please read Phillip K Dick and DON'T turn it into an action film / series...

I really liked Woody Allen's "Irrational Man" with Joaquin Phoenix.
Slow at first. Really slow. But soon enough turned into one of those Woody Allen signature films.
This film had very little, nearly none at all, of that cutting edge Woody Allen humor.
More of an interesting lesson on the dark side of depression and how that depression turning even darker can turn that original depression into the desire to live.
Joaquin Phoenix, a burnt out lack luster morbidly depressed dumpy college professor.
That is, until "something" awakens his interests and his desire to once again take part in life.
What that "something" is that brings the life back into this morbidly depressed college professors world is where the talents of Woody Allen shine.

A quirky off beat film, black comedy of sorts minus the comedy, still no question this is a Woody Allen film.
Think of it as a black..... mystery, with a few romantic twist(s) tossed in.
Even the romantic twists prove only an empty shell of true romance.
Again, pure Woody.
Romance, that redefines romance.
I guess to this college professor character played by Joaquin Phoenix, what he sees as romance is nothing remotely close to the definition of romance.
Queue the dark mystery.
In his mind, he feels this is romance.

I suppose the slowness at the beginning is to place the audience into the shoes of Joaquin Phoenix. To feel the pain of this zombie-fied college professor and his hopeless existence.
Only Woody and his talent as a writer and director could get away with a film like this.

The snooze during the first 15-20 minutes is worth the payoff.
If you don't care for Woody's brand of comedy, not to worry. This film is not a comedy, but more so an audience experiment in black mystery.
If there is such a thing?
If you are a Woody Allen fan, you'll like this film.

It is overall. Give it a chance, it's a pretty good show so far - it is very much a character drama. Yes there is the special ones -- but it adds a third dimension to the playfield later in the season.

The blonde sentient android kicks ass. And theres lots of stuff with regular androids and human interactions, and how humans cope with their impending obsolescence. Not just in the workforce, but also their places in their own families.
