Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

I like Die Hard as much as the next person, but really? Anther one?

**Fire Me Boy!** · 01-13-2013, 01:32 PM

Wow, Looper was pretty damn good. Impressive. I particularly noticed how much JGL had the mannerisms and patterns of Bruce Willis down.

Odd time of year to release it, too. February is normally the movie dead zone.

Based on the trailer, this looks terrible, way too lighthearted and jokey... if Willis wanted one last big hit out of this franchise, he would've insisted on something more serious in tone.

What i've seen totally reminded me of Charlies Angels, too much corn and completely unbelievable action sequences.

I mean, ya gotta have John McClain deliver some one liners or it wouldnt be Die Hard, but still, this looks far too corny.

I'm sure that's just how the trailer is cut. IIRC Die Hard 4 was pretty corny in the trailer too.

"Argo" was great.

No more Affleck hate, you can "Argo" **** yourself.

They always make money. This one will too. It is what it is.

CJizzles · 01-16-2013, 08:56 PM

Not movies but I really enjoyed Craigslist Joe and Indie the Video Game.

I'm going to go see Django a second time tonight at the Alamo Drafthouse (first time there). Watched Les Mis the other night. Very good, very enjoyable, except how/why the **** did Russel Crowe get cast, and at some point how did somebody not say, "Ok, this obviously isn't going to work. You are just dreadful. Please leave and save us all a lot of trouble, as well as make this film much much more enjoyable for all audience members."?

Also, I got bored/stoned last night and watch Kid in Kind Arthur's Court.. Kate Winslet turns in a great performace as usual, and even Daniel Craig did a great job. I particularly loved how they saved money on production by crocheting the chainmail from wool. Brilliant move.

One of my guilty pleasures is flipping through the horror section on Netflix streaming and picking out random flicks to try out. 99.999999999% of them are god-awful but I saw an interesting flick last week. It's called Pontypool. It's a Canadian film that has a real unique take on zombies and most of the movie takes place in a radio station (thus cheap to make) and tells a lot of the story from the point of view of a radio host during a zombie outbreak. It's not Oscar material but an interesting 90 minutes or so.

Pontypool is great.

CJizzles · 01-17-2013, 10:28 PM

Pontypool was ****ing nuts.

blaise · 01-18-2013, 06:26 AM

Yeah, Pontypool was pretty creative I thought.
