The Films and Movies Thread

[CoachB25]

The Wife and I never go to the movies.  However, when our daughter comes home every once in a while, she brings movies and we have movie night.  She just left to go back to her apartment and college.  Anyway, we watched Pitch Perfect and Pitch Perfect II along with Divergent this weekend.  We had a great time doing so and I really look forward to these weekends when we get to be a family.

People thought Flight would be an action movie but wound up watching a meditation on addiction but it could have been a really great movie, certain aspects whittled away to make it appeal to a wider audience but these two scenes were amazing. Speak to the black box, tell your kids you love them, flight attendant.

And how's this for stealing the scene?

Watched Amy documentary and Whiplash on airplane flights this past week, and thoroughly enjoyed both.  Birdies to each. 

Been listening to pretty much nothing but jazz all of this week - no idea why.

Were you rushing or were you dragging?

I didn't know Wonder Woman was in this. Mark Zuckerberg does The Joker as hirsute Lex Luther. Superman is doing Man from UNCLE. The other trailers were downers, this has a little bit of fun in it.

OK, lots of people crying spoilers w/resp. to Batman movie. Yes, it is, didn't realize it (spoilers don't bother me as much.) Here's a less spoilery version.

That Batman v. Superman trailer was... kind of bad. 

Take out everything except Wonder Woman and the moment up to where Wayne talks about clowns and I'd like it a lot more. 

Also, Henry Cavil is just not charismatic. I don't know if it's because he's having to an American accent and his focus on that is sapping his performative energy or if it's the writing (Oh, wait, Zach Snyder; it's definitely the writing), but he's kind of trash. 

I'm still going to see it, because I'm a huge Batman fan, but this looks bad.

I saw "The Good Dinosaur" with my 9 yr old son over the weekend. Haven't sat in a theater with that many children in years... good Disney movie about family in dinosaur form.

Mad Max. Holy freaking crap, that was insane. We had to pause it in the middle for a bathroom break and I felt like I hadn't breathed in an hour.

The action was so viscerally intense. And great acting by Furiosa. Felt like she had more screen time than Mad Max.

Rocky - Eagle

I enjoyed The Good Dinosaur, but it's very straightforward compared to Inside Out, but kids will like it more. There were some head scratching moments in it. Sam Eliot as a T Rex rustler worked.

So true. What's funny is that I didn't find it gruesome though. I was prepared for that but it turned out that it was a different kind of violence.

I really enjoyed the build up of trust and respect between Max and Furiosa.

I liked that too. But I could've done without that tender moment at the end, where he tells her his name.

Just watched Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Birdie!  Very good story.  I hope there are many more sequels to follow.

Wife found a movie on Netflix last night called Ex Machina. Different than the rest, will appeal to all the techies on here. I am going to give it a birdie.

Independence Day: Resurgence. Nice beard, Mr. President. In addition to films watched this year that appealed to nostalgia: The Little Prince, The Peanuts Movie, Mad Max, Jurassic World, The Man from UNCLE, Terminator Genisys, Spectre (nostalgia is batting 3/7 imho)  and soon Star Wars. 

I can't get excited over this though. It looks very re-hashed.

 

[nevets88]

Guessing this Star Trek trailer is a leak. This looks terrrrrrrible.

I was in Crackle and selected the movie Bobbie Jones to watch - great movie about the life of one of the greats of golf
