The Bourne Legacy-6/10

This was the one without Jason Bourne, even though he's central to the plot. Jeremy Renner plays Aaron Cross, who's trying to make physical and mental enhancements from pills permanent.

The Jason Bourne situation causes the bureau running the programs to shut down "outcome", and Cross is the surviving member. He saves and partners with Rachel Weisz' character from there.

It was l an interesting idea but the plot kinda muddled along, trying to hard to tie in the 3rd Bourne film to this one, and not putting enough focus on Renner's character and his seemingly interesting backstory.

The ending was awful. It was a non finish to the story being told and the film really doesn't go anywhere. Felt it'd have been better to tell a separate story that happen because of the Bourne fiasco, and tie the characters together in a following film. But alas.

The Revanent 2/5. Netlix made me because a 3 is "i liked it" a 2 is "I didn't like it." I didn't dislike it but I didn't like it either so I felt a 2 was more honest.

As for the movie itself, it was very meh. The scenery and all that jazz was great but the story was dull and unoriginal. Pretty much knew what was going to happen 2 hours before it happened.

Dont get me wrong, you like what you like but that movie was literally 0about the journey. Of course you know where you're going to be in 3rd act...

I understand that it's about the journey and whatnot, but it doesn't make it a riveting tale.

Free Fire - 7.5/10

Funny, slick and a waste of Brie Larson. I dunno why she was there really.
Not nearly as good nor as weird as A Field In England not as solid a tribute to a qgreat movie as Kill List but definitely a solid, fun one-room scenario. I wouldn't say it was brilliant or particularly memorable. In fact I would say it might be trying too hard to be The Guard...or Calvary.

Moviepass #4 mother! 5/10

SPOILER: show
0/10 for realizing at the 90 minute mark this is about how humanity is destroying...mother nature..ugh..9/10 for the wtf is happening last 30 minutes compared to the first 90. 1 extra point for having some good acting performances although I couldn't not see mini Brad Garrett every time Javier Bardem was on screen.


If you have seen the trailer and go in expecting to see the movie in the trailer..you won't like it. I wish I hadn't seen the trailer for it although my opinion would still stand.

The trailer I saw was before It last week which supposedly a custom trailer.

Quote:
Last weekend, to goose interest among the It masses, Paramount released a custom in-theater trailer in the vein of a Screen Gems horror film that exclaimed to audiences, “In one week, in this theater, one movie will mess you up for life…You will never forget where you were the first time you saw mother! After the movie, visit the box office to get your tickets.”

I couldn't agree more. That ending just ruined the entire thing for me and I was getting ready to hype that film fairly hard after 80 minutes of Dane De Haan being awesomely gothic. Then the ending... the big reveal is a grossly misjudged, feckless Stephen King-level misfire.

I shouldn't have expected much from a man who's most enjoyable film for me is a late 90's slapstick caper called Mousehunt but there you have it.

Oh and if anyone sits through it thinking the tits are worth it you are going to have one tough wank ahead of you.

It-7/10

Really good. Not really as scary as it is tense. Though there a few scenes that were great, such as the projector scene in the garage and the baseman scene with George.

I agree with Drebin on the dad. Mike also got very little time to develop compared to the other characters.

But those are minor issues. Overall I enjoyed it a ton and hope chapter 2 lives up to it.

It - 7/10

The Prestige - 7/10

SPOILER: show
While I enjoyed the film, I did not find the explanation at the end to be compelling.


Anomalisa - 6/10

SPOILER: show
I am very confused with respect to the parallels between Lisa and the antique Japanese doll that Michael bought from the toy store.

The Georgie death scene at the beginning is master work. I haven't read the book but it felt like it was perfectly done.

It was pretty fucked up in the old one too.

The first half of the original is top class terror whereas the second half is mostly piss.

Yeah the Georgie scene was wonderful. Great character work in such a small amount of time. I like that, at least from what I saw, the trailers held off on Pennywise talking. It was a pleasant reminder that he's not some mindless monster.

Pennywise drooling at times kinda reminded me of Heath Ledger ' s Joker licking his lips in more of a reptilian/non human way.

People have said here that the Tim Curry version is more of an actual crazy clown while the Bill Skarsgaard one had more of a feeling of a creature posing as a clown which is great.

Agree. Feel like Tim Curry just hammed it up. Skarsgaard drooling was a really neat but subtle touch. I really loved the opening scene.

More I think about the more I wanna see the movie again. Child banter was also very good.

I shouldn't have expected much from a man who's most enjoyable film for me is a late 90's slapstick caper called Mousehunt but there you have it.

Oh and if anyone sits through it thinking the tits are worth it you are going to have one tough wank ahead of you.
I wank to porn. Movies should be movies.

Yeah the second half of the film was really great. Before that was leaning towards liking the first film a lot more.

Laughed a lot at there being a king of the hobos and immediately thought about the Vince limo story where he was meant to become one.

Sunshine - 4/10

The first two thirds of the film are tense, confined and visually stunning. The final third reveals that you have been watching Event Horizon fan fiction all along.
I like Event Horizon but they've basically taken the ending beat for beat and ruined an interesting film with it.
I can't stress enough just how much this ending ruined the movie for me.

Don't watch Sunshine.


Mystery Men - 6/10

I know 6/10 isn't a great score but this was a masterpiece in comparison to Sunshine only this time it's the start of the movie that brings it down a peg.

I really really liked Sunshine. The ending didn't destroy the whole movie for me, but it was not good and I could see why it would do that for some. I wouldn't throw it into the basket of "movies with great concepts executed terribly" since the majority of it is so good.

It was beautiful until it turned into another movie. Go and watch Event Horizon and tell me Mark Strong in Sunshine isn't playing Sam Neil in Event Horizon.

I'm not a big Danny Boyle fan at all. 127 Hours was crap too and Trainspotting 2 was a muddled mess.

The Deer Hunter 3/10

This universally acclaimed monstrosity is duller than a soup spoon and easily 90 minutes too long.
I hated it. If the filming hadn't been so obviously well done this would be fired down to a 2/10 because there was just nothing to this film at all. I had seen it before when I was an alcoholic but I figured I must have missed something.

Unfortunately I had not.

I'm not sure why anyone would jump on the bandwagon and declare this shit a masterpiece because it really is a long slow turd that emerges broken, disjointed and somehow missing vital pieces.
It really makes very little sense. I find it ludicrous that a man could indulge himself by filming a wedding for an hour to absolutely no improvement of the film only to have to rush through or skip some big chunks later on which leave you wondering how a guy with a broken leg now has no legs and one arm or why the fuck Christopher Walken does any of the shit that he does at all.

The best scene in this entire 3 hour mess is the bit where Bobby De Niro decides not to shoot a majestic deer on his solo return from Vietnam. I have never sat through a film as fidgety as this. It was a huge waste of time and anyone that was a film critic when it came out should be ashamed that they so easily fell into parroting back what others praised it for.
This film is the perfect example of a movie with all of the right ingredients yet that somehow created an inert, wasteful pile of crud instead of the high powered rocket fuel it should be.

I am amazed that anyone was surprised that Cimino's next film went so hugely over budget and was decried as the worst movie ever made.
I mean what Deer Hunter did these idiots see?
The one I've just watched is probably the most wasteful piece of shit I've ever sat through so I'd be expecting Heaven's Gate to be an even longer and more protracted bowel movement.

It really is sorely obvious from the Deer Hunter that Michael Cimino was an arrogant, ponderous buffoon and that he would only ever produce low energy guff that relied on slow camera work, panning all over countryside and across irrelevant scenes of a life nobody should be interested in.

It is fair to say that I actually hated The Deer Hunter.

I could edit the footage down to a lean 20 minute movie that made sense but I'd probably still have had to use 5 minutes of tracking shots just because nobody wants to see a 15 minute movie.

Huh...I just checked and there are two critics that hated it just as much as I did. I take great warmth from the knowledge that Mark Kermode truly hated it and still does.
