The Movie Reel

[Kieran]

I used to love the Highlander tv series, but this film I'm watching, Highlander: Endgame is bloody awful! :laydownlaughing

I saw American Sniper over the weekend with the wifie. We both enjoyed it quite a bit. It is a very well made film that brutally shows that snipers (contrary to the Michael Moore folks of the world) were right in the mix in Iraq and how terrible it was to do what they were ordered to do. I would recommend the film to y'all here.

My favorite films I have seen so far in 2015 are,

Birdman,Michael Keaton's performance is Brillant

Mr Turner,I am a big fan of Mike Leigh as a director and he dosen't disappoint in this film,bringing out the personal side of Turner,the cinematography in this film is just breathtaking.Timothy Spall gives a Master Class Performance,I hope he receives the best actor award.Actually all the actors are just brillant.
This is by far the best film I have seen so far this year,it will take some beating a 10/10.

I saw American Sniper,my husband liked it,it is a true story,I like the way Clint Eastwood,age 84,conveyed the story,sorry I just found it too brutal to watch and left half way through and went to have a coffee.

I also loved Into The Woods,a great cast,Meryl Streep gives a class performance as a wickard witch,I mean any movie that Meryl is in,that just pulls me in full stop.The whole cast give wonderful performances.I could go and watch it again.

what was special about Birdman. I thought it was trying too hard and basically was lacking a plot

Saw Julianne Moore in Still Alice this weekend past. Good film and well acted, but you knew where the film was going all along. Her performance was top notch, as always.

Has anybody watched Tusk? Kevin Smith's take on the Hammer Horror film. I really enjoyed it. Weird but strangely affecting.

Hopefully Harrison Ford is OK.

Does anyone remember the 1988 movie Willow? It starred Val Kilmer and Warwick Davis. It was kind of a medival Star Wars, written and produced by George Lucas and directed by Ron Howard. I have always loved this movie and I showed it to the Japanese students where I teach yesterday. They really seemed to enjoy it. A simple, predictable storyline but still a great movie.

Hopefully Harrison Ford is OK.

Amen brotha, Harrison Ford proves again that he is still the Ultimate Hero on and off the screen

I actually liked that one Refuse to watch the last one though 'cos it's meant to be a true turd of the highest order.

Am I the best husband? Do I get the husband of the year award? Am I allowed to leave the toilet seat up for 5 years and not hear about it at all? Why, you ask?

I took my wife to the theater to watch the 50 Shades movie...:cover:cover:cover

Surrounded by cougars left , right, front and back, I did not make a sound, closed my eyes, let the minutes pass by...

Is this love or what?

I wanted to share my thoughts on Whiplash.

First and foremost, J.K Simmons is flat out brilliant. Just superb.

I knew before going to the movie that I had to not watch it as a drummer, but just a regular movie goer and I was totally right. The technique of the main guy is just beyond horrible and he does everything that you tell drummers NOT to do. I also could tell there was a whole lot of overdubs and some different folks playing in close up of hands situations. I read the credits carefully and saw some names that confirmed this.

This could be a movie about sports, music, anything. As a movie, I enjoyed it very much. Again, J.K Simmons WAS the movie. The question of how much you can push for perfection and why mediocrity is not acceptable...I liked those questions.

MAD MAX Fury Road is definitely four stars, the acting by Hardy and Theron is fantastic especially Charlize, she takes all the combined performance of Sijourney Weaver's Aliens movies to a new heights for a female action. This is a testosterone adrenaline junkies such as my self ultimate fantasy because the stunts and actions scene are exhausting but extremely exhilarating and entertaining. They don't make movies like this anymore, thank you George Miller.

Anybody go see either if the big popcorn films this year, Jurassic World, or San Andreas?

 

[Kieran]

I just wasted a couple hours watching Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

Was this written by 15 year olds? Really, really, bad... :nono

 

[Kieran]

It's funny, but as he's getting older, he's becoming a much better actor, although the films he's in aren't so great now. Watching Arnie in Sabotage, got poor reviews on IMDB, but it's great so far. He did good work in the Last Stand tooo

 

[brokenshoelace]

Jurassic World was pretty sub-par.

 

[Federberg]

Jurassic World was pretty sub-par.

I thought it was fairly entertaining for what it was. Especially in 3D But quite apart from the unrealism of reconstructed dinosaurs, the fact that they were loyal was so Hollywood, I admit a part of me wanted to hurl at the end :snicker
