Rate the last movie that you saw for the first time.

[Seanny One Ball]

Tonight I watched..... The Last Samurai!! After more than a decade of meaning to watch it again.

I will give it a solid 8/10



I am excited about this

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching The Meg, there's an Oriental woman in this who comes off as a dangerously stupid bastard. They give her these lines like she's some arrogant professional then she continually fucks things up, nearly gets Statham killed and somehow gives him shit for it afterwards and he just smiles every fucking time.

I dunno who wrote this but their interpretation of comedy is basically "women screw things up and act superior regardless".

I don't find it funny.

In one particularly face-screwing example she actually sticks Statham on a winch in the ocean and when they start it to winch him back in she stops it just as the Meg takes chase to say "No vibrations!" Then realised Statham is now dead in the water so they have to restart the winch.

I'm sorry but that sort of thing pulls me out of films. That's not a mistake, that's a director purposefully making a character such a shithead that you lose focus on the action, the spectacle that cost millions to lure you in in the first place.

Idiotic.

[Seanny One Ball]

Three screenwriters is never a good sign. All male too. Clearly never heard a mother-in-law joke they didn't piss themselves at.

[Seanny One Ball]

Rainn Wilson is always worth watching and the kid in this is quite cute so there are good bits in between the varying examples of gross negligence.

The action is predictable as hell though. It's not as good as Deep Blue Sea, far from it. It's probably around the level of Jaws 4.

[Fignuts]

The Equalizer 10/10

Someone could probably critique that there is no tension in it because Denzel is basically Batman and barely breaks a sweat, but fuck it. Sometimes it's just really satisfying to see a revenge movie where a dude just stomps the shit out of a bunch of evil fucks, tension be damned, and this delivers in that regard, possibly better than anything I've ever seen.

I got it in a two pack with the second one, so I'm gonna fire that up in a bit.

[Fignuts]

The Equalizer 2 6/10

Fuck, not nearly as good. Pacing is really bad. Part of what made the first one so good was that the people he fought were real scum bags. These guys are bad people but they're just kind of random soldier guys. Nowhere near as slimy as the russian mafia from the first. Main antagonist sucks.

Also, the other instances of him helping neighborhood people feels a bit more forced and out of place within the main narrative, whereas in the first it felt more organic.

Finally, there is a twist that fucking anyone could see coming.

[GD]

Into the SpiderVerse - 9/10

[Seanny One Ball]

I too watched The Equalizer 2 last night. Not as good as the first, the tone is consistent but the story isn't depicted nearly as well and it's lacking in the sudden, jarring action.

It does have two excellent fight scenes but they're early on and mean nothing to the story.

I like Antoine Fuqua and I love Denzel but they can do a lot better than this. The first was a strong action film that suffered a release too close to John Wick. The sequel is definite proof that Wick deserves a franchise, Equalizer does not.
They should have tied Denzel down to a short run tv series remake. They struggled to fill two hours with the plot here.

[slik]

Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse - 9/10

Really fun movie w/ fantastic animation.

[GD]

That post credit scene though :)

[Disturbed316]

12 Years a Slave - 8/10

[slik]

The Mule - 9/10

I can't really find any fault with it. It's not a classic so I can't give it a 10 but it's perfect in every other regard.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Into the Spiderverse-10/10

Best Spider-Man movie to date, imo. Miles as a character is great. There were real stakes and consequences, the animation was outstanding. Like a motion comic. And I liked what seemed to be the Raimi Spider-Man and seeing how his life turned out.

Overall I absolutely loved this film. Cannot recommend it enough. The end credits scene is stellar.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Surprised to learn that Chris Pine voiced the original Spiderman

Holy fuck I didn't know that. The whole voice cast was stellar.

[slik]

I'd say it was my favorite Spidey film alongside Spider-Man 2 (The Raimi one). When you think how off the rails this story could have gone it makes it all the more impressive.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Aquaman 6/10

Kinda naff, and ends up becoming a huge CGI mess; it will not age well.

Wonder Woman remains the best of the current DC films at the mo, but that is not a lofty position.

[slik]

Rich Hill - 9/10

One of the better documentaries I've seen. Here's the trailer since it's not well known:

[Lock Jaw]

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - 8.5/10

Was really fun and entertaining, and the animation looked great.

[Fignuts]

I just saw it too, and ended up stopping and buying Spider-man on PS4 on the way home. So that should tell you how I feel about it.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Fignuts played right into their trap haha.

[Fignuts]

They got me to buy their amazing game, by showing me an amazing movie.

I feel like such a sucker.

[ClockShot]

Subliminal messaging.

[Seanny One Ball]

Finally got my copy of Beat Takeshi's "Violent Cop".

There's not much I look forward to more than a Beat Takeshi film. The man is a genius.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

The Mule-7/10

A good, surprisingly funny at times movie about an old deadbeat dad/husband who turns to trafficking after his life fails him. It's nothing memorable, but it's an enjoyable 2 hours with a kinda meh ending.

[slik]

Aquaman - 7.5/10

The biggest spectacle of any superhero film yet. It's an 80's action film meets a video game. Has a "Star Wars but underwater" vibe to it. I thought it was a blast! It's not the best or most deep superhero film, but it's definitely worth watching for the huge spectacle of it all. The kids in the theater really seemed to like it. The girl sitting next to me got excited whenever Mera was onscreen.

Standouts are Jason Mamoa, Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe and Nicole Kidman.

[GD]

Bumblebee - 6.5/10

Surprisingly decent. Haven't enjoyed a Transformers movie since the first one.

[Frank Drebin]

Birdbox 3.5 / 4

Really good. Tense. Not "scary" like the trailers make it seem. More survival drama. One of the better versions of it out there. Netflix finally has a good full length "A" movie of it's own.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Aquaman-7/10

Goofy, funny, campy loud fun. This is what man of steel should've been really. The Atlantis stuff is really cool. The set and sound design are fun. I like how they handled Black Manta. The DCEU lives.

[GD]

I hope he says something along the lines of "Yeah!" or "My Man!" in the movie.

[Lock Jaw]

Aquaman - 9/10

Thought it was great..... a lot of "similarities" to Black Panther via a secret kingdom and clashes over who will rule it.... I think this was a much better movie but will not get recognized even half as much.

He does not say "My Man!" In the movie...... there may be a few "yeah"s and "woooooohoooooo"s

[Seanny One Ball]

I did not expect you to say 9/10 and comparisons to Black Panther are pretty exciting.

Could it be better than Wonder Woman? Is it the best DC film?

[Lock Jaw]

I probably would have rated it 8.5, but I rated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse that, and I think I liked this more (hard to compare them really, they are two different types of movies).

I think I'll still give the nod to Wonder Woman because of the perfect casting of Gal Gadot. Even after a movie I really liked, I'm still not sold that there couldn't have been a much better choice than Jason Mamoa for Aquaman.

Also please keep in mind that I am a DC fan-boy who is skewed to like DC things (Though who can acknowledge when they make terrible movies like BvS. I enjoyed Justice League, though)

[Seanny One Ball]

BvS wasn't a terrible movie at all. It was a massive waste of potential though.

DC movies so far have peaked at Man Of Steel and Wonder Woman for me. I think WW wa the better film but I am very keen on seeing more done with what DC has to offer. Flash was wonderful in Justice League, I hope he gets a film.

[Seanny One Ball]

I don't know what Aquaman looks like in the comics but I thought Momoa was good business on DC's end.

He was in Conan and was good but the movie was mediocre so you can see parallels with Chris Evans(Fantastic Four sucked then he did Cap. America for dirt cheap salary and now he's the best Avenger) of Marvel.
Maybe Momoa is the lynchpin that they need. Maybe he'll be their Cap.

[Lock Jaw]

BvS was pretty bad.

They've been working on a Flash film for awhile, but it keeps changing directors and titles....

[Seanny One Ball]

BvS was a 2/4 I think. It was a big waste but I did enjoy large chunks of it.

I dunno maybe it's just because Henry Cavill is my Superman. I think he's great.

[Lock Jaw]

I enjoyed him in Justice League. Not so much in Man of Steel, and pretty much not at all in BvS.

[Seanny One Ball]

Superman is a cunt in JL. Embarrassed for Cavill in that movie.

[Fignuts]

I didn’t really like BvS mainly because almost everything was in the trailers. And I was going to the theater a lot then leading ito it, so I saw said trailers several times. Will never forgive them for spoiling Wonder Woman in that movie. It was fucking Batman vs Superman. You didn’t need her in the trailers to sell it, and it would have been such an amazing moment had I not already seen it 5 times.

[Seanny One Ball]

Hahaha! Kingsman 2 had Colin Firth on the poster.

[GD]

Aquaman - 9/10

He sure did. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was a great film but certainly a very enjoyable experience.

Also appreciate that they're still shooting DC movies on film rather than digital. Looks more pleasing than Marvel.

[GD]

Hahaha! Kingsman 2 had Colin Firth on the poster.

That was very stupid. Could say the same about the second Fantastic Beasts film.

[Seanny One Ball]

I've only ever seen the original Harry Potter film. I just don't have the time or inclination to absorb however many more hours of it there are.

[Lock Jaw]

He sure did. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was a great film but certainly a very enjoyable experience.

Aquaman was shot digital

[Seanny One Ball]

That's a burn.

[GD]

Aquaman was shot digital

Oh snap! I stand corrected.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1477834/technical

That's a burn.

I was genuinely under the impression that DC movies were shot on film.

[slik]

I don't know what Aquaman looks like in the comics but I thought Momoa was good business on DC's end.


Aquaman is blonde in the comics but both he and Mera are definitely pretty badass in general in the comics as well.

[slik]

Bird Box - 8.5/10

Really tense. Good film. Strong performance from Sandra Bullock, who I thought had good chemistry w/ her male costar Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight). But to be honest, Sandra never has bad chemistry with anyone really. I had no idea Sarah Paulson was in it at all so that was a pleasant surprise. Ditto for John Malkovich, Jackie Weaver and Danielle MacDonald.

[slik]

In 2018 Machine Gun Kelly shares the screen w/ Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich. Lol


Love Sarah Paulson even though Seanny One Ball h8s her!!

[Seanny One Ball]

I have to admit she has grown on me. I watched the American Gothic series and she was great in it.

[Ruien]

Venom. 7 of 10. Good fun movie.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I did not expect you to say 9/10 and comparisons to Black Panther are pretty exciting.

Could it be better than Wonder Woman? Is it the best DC film?

I think it's on par with Black Panther and a little less than Wonder Woman, which is still peak DCEU. That said it's ridiculously entertaining and the fact that they embrace the camp of it all makes it that much more fun. Everyone gets to ham it up and it's glorious. Complete 180 from the overly serious attempts from Snyder.

Atlantis visually is great.

[Seanny One Ball]

Now that's a movie post.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Also, Amber Heard is really fucking pretty.

[Seanny One Ball]

She is but she has never once been impressive as an actress. She doesn't deserve the career she has at all. Remember Estella Warren? She did Kangaroo Jack and then disappeared. She looks just like her and that's the best thing I can say about Amber Heard.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Amber is pretty good here. I mean, not ground breaking or anything. But she's not Katie Holmes in Batman Begins.

[Ruien]

Aquaman 10/10. Quiet possibly my favorite super hero movie of all time. Granted I know nothing of the origin so I went in with no backstory except talking to fish.

Everything was well done. Even the actress lady was on point during the film. 1000000% loved that Aquaman does not become super powerful with the new trident. He still needed to take the big bad guy out of the water to fight .

Movie was hilarious also. Perfect mix of laughs and serious moments. Crushed WW imo. Fight scenes were superb.

Literally went to go see Deadpool 2 but they cancelled the movie so we went to Aquaman instead.

[Seanny One Ball]

So I should go see this ASAP really is what you're all telling me?

First film in a cinema since 2008.

[Ruien]

Yes.

[Ruien]

Like, I may come down from my Aquaman high and put this behind Avengers 1 but that's about as low as I will rank it.

[Seanny One Ball]

I love this thread.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

So I should go see this ASAP really is what you're all telling me?

First film in a cinema since 2008.

Yes highly advised. Maybe have a beer while watching. It's a fun movie. The score is also really good. This movie is exactly what was needed for DCEU. I think people are going to love it and it'll have strong legs at the box office. The unrelenting energy in which it's written is on a level even higher than the Marvel films.

Not that it's better per se than their films. It's more like a modern day Reeves Superman. Completely silly and not embarrassed to be so. Might go see it again honestly.

[Seanny One Ball]

You two have gotten me all hyped up.

This never happens. I was hype resistant.

[GD]

So I should go see this ASAP really is what you're all telling me?

First film in a cinema since 2008.

No. You should wait for the DVD release. The only suitable format.

[Seanny One Ball]

I'll still buy the DVD if it's good.

[Lock Jaw]

I'm excited to hear Seanny One Ball's thoughts on the movie

Yes highly advised. Maybe have a beer while watching. It's a fun movie. The score is also really good.

Listened to the entire soundtrack twice in a row when I got home from the movie yesterday....

[Seanny One Ball]

I'm a recovering alcoholic so probably no beer. Watching a movie on my own seems bad enough.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Then no beer. Just devour a pound of popcorn

[GD]

Mary Poppins Returns - 8/10

[slik]

Dumplin' on Netflix - 7/10

Cute, feel good movie.

[slik]

I want to see Aquaman again so I'm going to try and talk my brother into going w/ me during the holidays.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The Childhood of a Leader 8/10

I don't know what the hell is going on, but I enjoyed it (largely due to the music, which cranks up the urgency).

[Droford]

I'm probably the only one that both went to see Welcome to Marwen (alone in the theatre) and liked it (from all the reviews I've read)

About the only thing I didn't like was the shameless riff on Back to the Future but it was cool looking and if you're Robert Zemeckis you can do whatever I guess. Animated doll scenes weren't nearly as creepy to me as everyone says

7.5/10

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Considering its box office returns, you prob were the only one

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The Lost City of Z 6.5/10

[slik]

The Grinch - 6.5/10

It was cute, animation looked nice.

No, not really.

I would say Production Design of Whoville was good and that kids will like it.

[ClockShot]

The Mule - 4.5/5

Clint turns in another hit.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Mary Poppins Returns-8/10

Absolutely delightful. Captures the feel and spirit of the original. It's a nice change of pace given the current abundance of dark, serious, gritty live action films. Loved it from the openingmusical number on.

[Seanny One Ball]

This thread needs more and better reviews.

[Seanny One Ball]

Fuck it I'll see Aquaman tomorrow. Anything is better than terrible two line reviews.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Hey I do better than that

[Frank Drebin]

Venom - 1.5 out of 4

There's a good movie in there somewhere but the whole thing is rushed and stupid.

Man, people can get in and out of that top secret lab super easy. Also nice to know that children can hop international flights unattended and there can be billions dollars of destruction through a metropolitan area and you don't hear a peep about it. People really aren't all that terrified of Venom running around. It's as if it's a run of the mill day in SF which might actually be pretty realistic.

Anyway.....there's potential here but it deserved the bad reviews. I'm glad it made a bunch of money because I'd like someone else to have another crack at Venom.

The stinger for Into the Spiderverse was better.

[Seanny One Ball]

Hey I do better than that



You do more than that. Quality is subjective.

[Seanny One Ball]

Don't take the comment on your shoulders Damian, it was aimed at the entire last page or two.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

You sweet bastard

[Seanny One Ball]

Using my phone to stream Netflix through my TV. Watching Cam as my first film. I love Madeline Brewer, she doesn't get enough good roles but this is nuts. Seems to be a horror film about webcam models.

I might just change to a Sandler/Spade comedy.

[Seanny One Ball]

Top came off for real. Not changing now.

[Seanny One Ball]

Can't spend 90 minutes debating a wank in a Sandler comedy, that is certain.

[Sixx]

So disappointed in this Polish TV show I think I've mentioned. Hate Polish TV show, but my mom recommended it and I've seen a few scenes while at her place and decided to try it.

1st season - So Positevely surprised. It shows people of Warsaw struggling against the Germans 1941-44. Small groups, some lone people. Dealing with the fact they're overwhelmed, just shows them dealing with everyday life, everything they need to do do to get by. SMALL SCALE. Some really badass street fight scenes, some really cool, unexpecting but making sense plot twists. Actually unexpected deaths.

2nd season. - For some reason they're all in Cairo now, some jews are now very high-ranking SS and some of the characters are superhuman I think?

There's 7 seasons... I asked my mom and to my relief she only saw the first before convincing me to watch it.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS GOING?

[Sixx]

Season 4 - This one jew will be expiremented on by the nazis and he'll come out the jar Wolverine. Why? Cause he's had those sweet sideburns since the beginning.

[Sixx]

Season 7 - Thanos is a Nazi.

Cam was ok. I'm usually ok if certain aspects aren't gone into detail but there was no explanation for any of it. I mean, if it was all a metaphor for the Internet/identity blah blah whatever fine.

[Seanny One Ball]

Well I'm watching one of my favourite actresses in a sexy horror film and I don't feel very sexy at all. She looks phenomenal as usual and her take on the character is authentic and exciting but this is all existential horror in a sci-fi wrapping and I wasn't prepared for it.

Stripper Solaris.

[Seanny One Ball]

I'm freaked out by how good it is.
I've seen too many webcam shows and I like Madeline Brewer too much to be fooled. This is high end for such a basic premise. I can't call if enjoyable until I see it through.

[Seanny One Ball]

[Seanny One Ball]

This film is taking me to a place I really don't want to go.

Yep, that was fucking nuts. I loved it. Well done Madeline Brewer for making it so believable.

[Seanny One Ball]

Ok then Slik, Birdbox and what else?

What does Netflix have to offer?

[Seanny One Ball]

I am watching Bird Box. Shoulda said it was a Bullock joint.

I will throw reviews up for this and Cam when I have recovered.

[Seanny One Ball]

Dear Slik,

Thanks for tricking me. You know what you did.
My favourite non-Streep actress nearly murdered by my most hated? You just destroyed Paulson's credibility with me.

[Frank Drebin]

You loved it when she...*spolier*

You wished she'd do that for reals.

[Frank Drebin]

Been watching a lot of shitty movies on netflix. I'll look back and see if I have others to recommend, Seanny. Check out Cloud Atlas if you haven't seen it and have 3 hours. Interested to know your thoughts on that often devisive movie.

[Seanny One Ball]

Cloud Atlas was actually decent, no beef with Cloud Atlas. Jupiter Ascending on the other hand is one of the worst films ever made.

[Seanny One Ball]

Cam - 3/4

An emotionally claustrophobic horror that is as much about the vapid nature of models on film as it is an indictment on fame chasing, delusions of grandeur and obsessive social media tracking in a dangerously sexualised world view.

This is the film that Neon Demon could have been had Neon Demon replaced stupidity with bravery. The film maker here proves that you can make a hell of an effective horror on a shoestring budget and without a marquee star provided you are committed and have substance behind your conceit.

I very much enjoyed this, it was uncomfortable and yet very inclusive of the audience. You won't walk away feeling empty or hollow hopefully.

[Seanny One Ball]

The documentary series "Evil Genius" is superb. I remember when this happened, it was all over the world news and they turned it into a slapstick Jesse Eisenberg caper movie.
The true story is just so much more incredible.

White Trash Moriarty they shoulda called it.

[Seanny One Ball]

Cargo is good so far. They establish a procedural protocol for infection that other zombie films don't often have. Smart move, hopefully it's a smart movie.

[Seanny One Ball]

Cargo is wonderful. I'm not happy with the reviews, nobody got it. It's about the inevitability of a doomed situation and a beautifully taken pot-shot at Western civilisation.

I thought that it had real quality both in performance and style. I see it as a contemporary "Walkabout" and I see no reason not to call it a great film.

[GD]

Did you go to the cinema yet?

[Seanny One Ball]

Fuck off!

Netflix free pass. I'd rather watch 50 things than one. I don't trust DC or you enough to bother with a £10 movie ticket and a return bus journey to match it. That's £20 when I could sit on my balls watching unheard of horror films for free.

I made a sound fiscal choice.

[Seanny One Ball]

The Babysitter is so far beyond expectation I'm still not sure what I thought I would get from it in the first place. That's a very well sold comedy horror with two outstanding performances that give you the true tone of the film. It is exceptionally weird and that quality does it no harm.

Reading what Seanny has to go thru just to go see a movie theatrically puts in perspective how lucky I am to have the AMC stubs pass. I've seen 4 movies this month alone, and good chance i make one more before New Year's.

Creed II-9/10

Personally liked it better then the first. Kid Drago is a fucking monster. His backstory is excellent and while it would prob have ruined his mystique, I would've loved to have seen more of him as his story and where dad Ivan ended up is sad.

Creed's arc is familiar, though they don't go the usual route to get to the same outcome and his personal story and journey, and the driving forces behind it, are different but effective.

Rocky has a side story that gets wrapped at film's end that's a bit a tear jerker. My only gripe is damn it, why hasn't Carl Weathers gotten a cameo. Yes, I know his being dead is the driving force behind the purpose of the new main character, but still.

Anyways, i loved this film. And to make it better, people in the audience sitting at the bottom row where fucking popping for Creed in the climactic fight. Drago goes down and it sounded like Austin hit a stunner. Usually hate noisy movie crowds but given it was a boxing movie, this exactly enhanced my enjoyment.

[Seanny One Ball]

Re: Carl Weathers... Sylvester Stallone wouldn't let Carl Weathers anywhere near a Rocky film now, and he was going to if not for all the shit he caused around the time of Rocky Balboa. He demanded to be physically in the movie then denied use of his image rights for flashbacks. He's a lunatic.
Arrested Development got his character so perfect when they made him the ultimate sponger.

Adam West once decried Tim Burton when he made Batman and didn't want to use him.
It's like old action stars just never want to let go.

Cause of the holidays and Netflix I watched these in the last few days:

I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore 3.5/4
Jim And Andy: The Great Beyond 3/4
Happy Hunting 4/4
The Babysitter 3.5/4
Cargo
Bird Box
Cam

Every single film there was at least a 3/4 for me.

Not to mention fuck knows how much of Always Sunny...
Seriously thinking about getting the net for my house. It's cheaper than buying movies every day.
I just hate booking workmen into the house.

Welcome To Marwen - 7/10 - Heard nothing but bad things going in, but I rather enjoyed it, despite it being an "odd" film. As always, Steve Carrell is amazing in everything he does.

Cause of the holidays and Netflix I watched these in the last few days:

Little Evil - 3.5/4
The Fundamentals Of Caring 4/4
I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore 3.5/4
Jim And Andy: The Great Beyond 3/4
Happy Hunting 4/4
The Babysitter 3.5/4
Cargo
Bird Box
Cam

Every single film there was at least a 3/4 for me.

Not to mention fuck knows how much of Always Sunny...
Seriously thinking about getting the net for my house. It's cheaper than buying movies every day.
I just hate booking workmen into the house.

Come, Seanny. Join us in the 21st century.:wave:

[Seanny One Ball]

Also, you finished "I Don't Feel At Home…"?

Fuck yeah, it was incredible.

The Constant Gardener 7.2/10

[Seanny One Ball]

Danny Huston is brilliant in The Constant Gardener. It's a depressing trudge though.

[Seanny One Ball]

A Futile And Stupid Gesture - 4/4

I didn't know who Doug Kenney was going into this but now I know his influence in my life in several small ways. Not being a National Lampoon fan I watched this more to find out about the stars it made and left with the knowledge that Doug Kenney was probably a good part of the reason these people ever had careers.
This is Will Forte's best ever performance, using his trademark one-liner comedy to embody one of his many precursors. I am in great admiration of his ability to do that and somehow build towards real, unabashed emotional and heartbreaking pathos.

He's as good in this as Jim Carrey was in Man On The Moon. The comparisons are fairly obvious but these are two distinctly brilliant performances from men of whom the world expects nothing beyond buffoonery and they are a joy to watch at their best.

Jack Reacher and Jack Reacher 2 - 6,5/10

Decent action flicks. What I didn't understand is why he never has his own gun. It's not like he's against guns, he picks them up and shoots them, just never carries. He goes to meet the villain for what is surely gonna be a gunfight and he's got no gun.

[Seanny One Ball]

He refuses to carry a gun because he knows that his own instincts are enough on an average day. He regularly carries guns during conflict.
It's a fundamental part of the character that is esteblished in the books. So much of it was thrown out of the window with the casting of Tom Cruise. I actually love Cruise as Reacher but I think a guy who looks the part is essential to the role now. The first Reacher film was pure class though.

Sixx if they do the character justice in the upcoming show then you'll love him. He's a big hard bastard that saves the day by killing all of the evil. All of it.
I imagined Karl Urban or Ray Stevenson playing him long before Tom Cruise took the part.

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching some teen comedy called "The Package".

I did not expect to laugh so hard. The lead female in this was in Blockers and she's great. She's going places no matter what, you can't start off that well in broad comedy without being a very good actor.

Well, maybe the books explain this, the movies don't.

And as for the casting, I've heard Reacher is a huge blond guy in the books?

I love Cruise, love knowing that the shit that goes down it's not a stuntman doing it.

By the way, do I need to know all the Mission Impossible movies to enjoy Fallout? Heard so much good about it, but I don't even remember which was the last MI movie I saw.

I have to applaud anybody who makes a movie about this subject and manages to get away with it. This would have ruined me when I was 14.

Bumblebee-8/10

Far and fucking away the best written transformers movie since they went live action. Like, not even close. The characters are actually the driving force behind the story. There aren't endless, impossible to follow, over the top action sequences that beat your ear drums into submission.

And whenyou do get to the action, it's so satisfying and thrilling not only because it was choreographed and shot well, but because they actually didn't blow their load throughout the movie. The opening scene is a rousing one.

So glad I gave this a go and I hope it works as a soft reboot of this franchise with more movies written in this manner.

[slik]

I agree with you on all of that.

[Seanny One Ball]

It isn't hard to imagine a decent Transformers film.

Just take Michael Bay away and replace him with a person who has directed a beautiful kid's film already.
Michael Bay is a douche for what he did to Transformers. I still maintain that the very first one was enough to expect a lot more from the sequels though.

[Frank Drebin]

Yeah, first one was actually ok. Then they turned into the mindless slogs we know them for. I have no idea how those movies made the money they did other than either being released at perfect times where there was nothing else in theaters to see or that the dumbest of our species have multiplied faster than anyone has realized.

[Frank Drebin]

Or the Chinese government made everyone in the country see it.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

The first one is solid but it's peak Bay. Competent at best and is more driven by the novelty of being the first live action Transformers movie. I remember watching the first Optimus Prime transformer sequence with my jaw on the floor. Also, Hugo Weaving as Megatron was fantastic casting and he had great lines, and a good final boss build up.

But that doesn't compare with this one. Not in the slightest. Ideally this is a new direction and we get more this writer/director team. The opening sequence starting on Cybertron and then to Earth was a blast.

[ClockShot]

Vice - 5/5

Adam McKay with another home run. Christian Bale freaked me the fuck out.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

One last remark on Bumblebee; there's a character moment where Hailee Steinfeld's character is called on/encouraged to do something that would essentially break her out of the dorky/nerdy/self imposed secluded shell she's built up at the start of the movie.

If Michael Bay was making this film, she absolutely would've done it in the middle of the film because it would've been a "cool scene bruh". But here, the director chooses to treat the character with hesitancy and an unwillingness to embrace the situation. And when she does embrace that moment that draws her back to a past she's running from, it actually means something. It's the little things that set this one apart.

If it were Michael Bay, she'd probably undress in slow motion and dive to like late '90s rock music with massive explosions in the background.

Also, it was a pretty good scene. Could relate to it.

Get it you guys? Because black people talk and yell a lot at the theater.

Yes. Yes I did.

From the screencap I saw you only get a good look at one and it's a bit abject and out of sorts. Looks like what a blind person's impression of a boob would be based on feel alone.

That is pretty much the one and only scene of her boobs.

Split 7.5/10

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching BlacKkKlansman, didn't actually expect it to be such a hilarious film. By about half an hour racial language has been devalued down to a ludicrous level by repeated use in farcical ways. It's a simple way to do it but it works very well.
I think the film would be a bit of a slog if it was like "Detroit" or something. In fact Detroit really annoyed me, this is very good and thoroughly enjoyable so far. Easily Spike Lee's best film since the 90's because I prefer farce and comical undermining to pure demonisation.

Really loved it when it came out. The entire cast is great.

[Seanny One Ball]

Did not like the pointless love story at all. Spike could have chopped about 25-30 minutes out of that film quite easily and left a much more streamlined and enjoyable film.

It's very good but the addition of the fuckable Black Panther woman was completely pointless. There was no need for it, the film had enough going for it without it. They could have done all of that Black Panther stuff and not had him try to fuck the leader.

[Seanny One Ball]

Spent a good chunk of the movie thinking "that guy looks and sounds exactly like Steve Buscemi", apparently he's one of his brothers. Jesus man, hopefully the other brothers are great looking because if they all look like that then how do we know Steve Buscemi hasn't been pulling a Multiplicity on us for years?

It was all going along decently enough until the last hour. Last half hour is a trainwreck.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Yeah the love plot in BK was highly unnecessary. It didn't take away from my enjoyment but it's definitely a useless diversion from the centralplot.

[Seanny One Ball]

I just learned that she was in Spider-Man: Homecoming.


Yeah she's the hot unattainable chick in that too.
90% of that film could have happened but didn't and yet the central premise that two men are playing the same character when it really only would take one of them is hilariously true.

What a weird story.

I think Topher Grace is great, he certainly plays "detestable" very well and doesn't shy away from using the same mannerisms that made him a divisive protagonist for That 70's Show. He does have a very smackable face...

Really fun performance from James McAvoy. Casey had a really interesting, if not fully fleshed backstory that I wish we saw more of. The upcoming sequel maybe dives into that, but on its own merit as a standalone, I wanted more of her history.

Hopefully we get everything nearly wrapped and further explored in Glass.

Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse 8/10

i actually really loved this, despite really not liking Mile Morales too much, but I managed to enjoy him in this. Was caught off guard by the modern universe spiderman death, but I guess I should of seen it coming based upon the source material. Nick Cage as Spiderman Noir was amazing. I love how they mocked the origin stories in the movie, and even putting in the Spider-Man 3 dancing bit. Of course it wouldn't be a Spider-Man origin story without someone dying.

Standard Liam Neeson fare, with a lower body count. Decent if you have nothing else to watch.

I bet all of the people he has killed since 2007 are equal to or greater than the number he saved in Schindler's List.
He's mad that his glory as Oskar didn't result in Oscar glory and now he's undoing it all, one paint by numbers action movie at a time.

Oddly enough Cuba Gooding Jr won an Oscar and went on to kill everybody he could on DVD so maybe winning an Oscar is a bad thing in the action world.

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching the GLOW documentary. Absolutely hilarious. I have never seen any of this footage before and I wish I had. I'd have loved this.

[Seanny One Ball]

Oh Jesus that's one of the worst injuries I have ever seen. No need for the replays.

[Seanny One Ball]

What a nice documentary. That had very few negative vibes in it and because of the clear and apparent nature of that negativity I think the director did well to avoid delving too deep into it in favour of concentrating on a fond remembrance of an almost forgotten niche in wrestling history.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Tag-6/10

The tag sequences and set ups were hilarious and easily the best part of the movie. The actors are all funny and get fun things to do.

The part that kinda killed it for me was the end. Couple of heavy handed outs to move the movie to the ending cause a little tonal shift that's kinda weird, and also felt very hammy and unearned.

It was still a fun watch however.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Perfectos Desconocidos (Perfect Strangers)-8/10
Spanish language film about a group of friends who decide to play a game, putting their cell phones on the table and having any alert or phone call they receive read aloud to the group.

Of course shenanigans shortly follow, including an extended gag where one of the characters gets mistakenly and falsely outed as being gay.

The lines and dingers are really sharp, largely, I think, because they're in Spanish so there's a bit more flare in how they're delivered. It was a fun devil's advocate, what do you have to hide type of movie. My fave comedy in a while.

[Helmsphere]

Dragonball Super: Broly 9/10

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Is the Broly movie a reboot/retelling or a sequel?

[Helmsphere]

It's a reboot/retelling.

Broly as a character wasn't actually apart of the Main Dragonball Story, as are characters such as Cooler, Janemba, Bojack...etc

This is basically moving Broly story into the Main DB Universe, with a retelling of his story. Frieza is handed the keys to King Cold's Empire due to him retiring, where Frieza meets the Saiyans for the first time, gives them Scouters...etc

King Vegeta is proud of his son Vegeta as a baby and his power level, and the potential he has, until he is told of another Saiyan baby with a higher potential. King Vegeta is pissed at this and send Broly to be sent to a far off planet that is inhabitable and is dangerous and is more then likely going to kill the child.

Paragus follows Broly to this planet to save his son. Frieza learns of Broly high potential and decides to blow up Planet Vegeta, Gine and Bardock send Goku off to earth...

Only differences, Broly is not a monster who is triggered by a crying baby, and he hates Vegeta not Goku.

Best Dragonball movie imo.

So my town isn't going to get the Broly movie, and I prefer subtitles anyway, so I just downloaded a cam version and watched it.

First impressions are this is the best Dragon Ball movie ever. It's a little over half the movie before any real fighting starts, but I was very entertained for all the set up. Lots of really cool flashbacks and insight into the saiyan empire and their relationship with Freiza. Some new characters introduced that I genuinely liked and enjoyed.

Broly is given a bit more of a personality. Not much, but the important thing is you're given more reason to care about him than the previous version.

Then the fight starts. And holy shit is it good. Forget about this being the best that Dragon Ball has ever looked, this is one of the best looking anime I've ever seen.

Fucking tremendous stuff.

Only thing I didn't like was Bardock. They made him more benevolent, and he is far less interesting for it. He was way cooller in the old special. Better outfit too.

Ides of March-9/10

Fuck me, do I love Ryan Gosling. Plays a second in command campaign manager under Philip Seymour Hoffman, as George Clooney seeks the democratic nomination.

Paul Giamatti sees Gosling's talent and wants him aboard, telling him his guy's gonna lose so jump from the sinking ship now. All political hell breaks lose, as Gosling is both threatened to be blackmailed, fired, and his career destroyed while also randomly gaining leverage against Clooney that he initially tries to bury until tragedy hits and he's forced to apply his hand.

The whole cast is obviously top notch, and Gosling is so damn magnetic with his silent charisma and presence. It's a pretty fun, interesting and, at the end, sleazy little political movie that shows what I can only imagine is the ugly side of politics the everyday man never sees. Loved it.

It was as good as anything that has 300x the budget.
