The Last Movie You Watched (no spoilers)

Kingman D+

Worst movie I've seen in awhile.

Southpaw - I enjoyed it and thought that Jake Gyllenhaal did great.

Kingsmen? Really?

You are the first person I have heard say anything other than that movie was awesome. I suggest you watch it again, but with your tongue firmly planted in your cheek. I thought it was a GREAT movie.

American Sniper
Finally got around to watching it.
Good war movie. Did a good job of showing what he went thru.
Don't get why people thought it should have won an Academy Award.
Got a little boring in parts. It could have been 20 minutes shorter.

6/10

.....the same people that thought "the hurt locker" was ~Best-Picture~ nominee......(...and winner?).

I guess I could start with what I liked: Samuel L Jackson. I thought he was funny and fully aware of the camp value of his character.

Everything I hated: It was a movie that seemed like it was written by 14 years olds for 14 year olds. Kid saving his mom from his violent step dad is cliche but they managed to make every character unlikable. The fight scenes were overused and cut in a way where they didn't actually have to show what happened. Action scene with Freebird should've been the highlight of the movie but I really thought it showed why the fight camera didn't work. Sometimes action movies can run off a gimmick and it works. Dredd is an excellent example.

Its a movie thats fully aware that we are decentralized to violence so the whole movie is a joke made around that. Its a real shame because there are a half dozen top flight actors in Kingsman and the joke is never really funny. Just kinda awkward. Oh hey, Obama's head explodes into fireworks..um ok. 1984 death scene? Sure. Anal sex joke taken the whole way? Of course it was.

The movie also had an entire act that didn't need to exist. The competition between rival agents was ridiculous. Not every movie needs a Hunger games reality show competition. The elites vs guy off the street thing is a fantasy. The elites mop the walk on every time unless he gets lucky. Being able to bust through walls and glass like the Rock or Superman isn't realistic.

In a lot of ways, the movie was a bad version of Men in Black. Since we have 2 good Men in Black movies, it really is just a waste of time.

Creed - 6.5

Almost identical storyline to the original Rocky. Add in that Pauly is dead & that about halfway through the movie, Rocky finds out he has a treatable form of cancer. Unknown fighter trains, finds a love interest, KTFO his first opponent, & then gets an undeserved title shot. Not bad, but not great either.

They are definitely going the trilogy route with Creed.

Except I don't think the movie was ever trying to be serious or realistic. It was camp from first frame to last.

Maybe I was just in the wrong mood to see the movie. That happens sometimes.


Saw Devil's Advocate all of the way through for the first time last night. Solid A- just for Pacino. Reeves was really good in some scenes and really awful in others.

No the movie wasn't awesome.
Didn't hold my attention very well.
Didn't do a lot of things well.
Not something I'll be watching again

4/10

I saw the 'documentary' on Kurt Cobain's death called Soaked in Bleach. It was pretty straightforward but compelling enough to suggest that Kurt Cobain's death investigation was totally botched and Courtney Love had a great motive to kill him. I don't think they present enough info to totally rule out suicide but we'll never know because Love had everything destroyed. Its a movie that pretty much confirms everything I thought I knew as a kid which is pretty rare.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Creed: I really enjoyed it and put it in the middle of overall enjoyment value of the Rocky series.
No Escape: Wasn't too bad and thought that Owen Wilson did better in the role than i was expecting.
Man from UNCLE: Not a bad way to kill a couple hours. I have no idea if it was true to the show since I never watched it.
American Ultra: Had a few decent moments but overall, pretty bland.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Let me start off by saying I hate the Rocky series

I really enjoyed Creed

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Krampus

Pretty fun movie. Semi-tailored to younger ages, but still had plenty of vulgar language to keep older audiences entertained. The creatures were pretty badass! If you are a fan of Dougherty's work, this is definitely worth the watch! Better than Trick 'r Treat IMO.

8/10

actually watched Speed last night. Didnt remember how point break Keanu was in that role.

Yeah, this is finally on Amazon prime, then you can watch Kurt and Courtney right after it too.

1. Kurt was going to Divorice Courtney, even with the pre nup she would have gotten very little
2. Kurt wanted to leave Nirvana because he was sick of playing Teen Spirit.

The most interesting evidence was that death grip on the rifle and the shell coming out the opposite side and landing on a jacket as if the casing was placed there. Maybe if his knee was up and it ricochet over, but thats the only chance. As far as the 3X the death limit of Heroin in the blood would have made it nearly impossible to even pull that trigger. Yes, he probably had to take more than your standard user, but to maintain consciousness after shooting it and putting the syringe and spoon away after that dose?

I think the Heroin part is pretty easy to explain: its really hard to work up the nerve to shoot yourself. Its possible he takes the drugs as a backup plan in case he misses with the gun and shoots himself before the drugs kick in.

The bullet is impossible to explain unless he fired a warning shot and/or someone tampered with the evidence before his body was found.

I have no idea how that wasn't seen as a probable murder investigation from the start. It makes you wonder how there can be 2 narratives of Cobain's death floating around without any real questions being asked. The Montage of Heck seems to be the film that has gotten 10x the traction but one of Cobain's friends called it 90% bullsh--.

I almost think it was opposite, he took enough Heroin to kill himself, the shotgun was almost the backup plan. I mean, I am not a user, it just seems like the direct to blood injection has an almost instant effect. I do not doubt someone else was there. If it was that guy that bought the shotgun, he was also a user, and I doubt he would have left the supply or waste the drugs if he knew he was shooting him unless he was promised that much more since it seemed like Courtney kept him fixed anyway. I did like how they discounted that test where the guy took tablets and it took the body to break them down before they took any effect.

.....saw the latest ''mission-impossible'' flick on [on-demand]......ehh,......I shut it off after an hour/last night and watched the rest this morning = not a good sign.,.......I give it 2.5/5,......*Spoiler/Alert*.....I still think Cruise played a dual-role as the villain....[same = height,size,nose,cheek-mark,eyes]......the way they filmed them together gave it away,......*just-a-hunch*.
