STYLEISKING Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Frances Ha is my favorite of Baumbach's movies. Baumbach is obviously obsessed with the 1970s, and with Frances he captures our current hipster culture in the film-style of Woody Allen's Manhattan, black-and-white film and all. It's a lovely homage that makes perfect sense. The film is also very funny – frustrating, of course, and messy, and she makes such stupid decisions! – but as much as I laughed at Frances, I found myself directing my laughter inward. I have probably done most of the stupid things she does. Frances Ha is on Netflix Instant at the moment, and it's only about 90 minutes. Believe me, it's worth your time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPORTO Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Just watched Captain Phillips & its not that its slow to gather pace or that you know those negro's are gonna be on board no matter what, its the position you get placed in, 1 min you maybe like "bro if thought I was gonna get it, I'd just grab that fuckn gun, fuck it", next you realize why Tom Hanks is Captain & your not, tough he does come close to licking the mustard at the start...OK ... true story...whatever...but you know that truth has just been stretched beyond belief..esp some of the lifeboat scenes...in any case its the first film in a long time that, even though your tired & may wanna sleep, your gonna see it out till the end just like these negro's do.

yomommasaho Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 this looks really good, viggo mortensen has gotta be the most slept on A-lister out there captain phillips, man, you kinda hit the nail on the head there. the climax was drawn the fuck out, yes, we know the pirates get got, and he survives, so bring it on already. they try and bring it to some kind of cinematic crescendo, where we are supposed to feel as exhausted and desperate as he was at that point. instead, the exhaustion i felt was "jesus, when the fuck is this gonna be over already?" other than that, not a poorly executed film on the fundamental front. the first act was actually pretty taut, you DO feel the same tension and terror he does. but they loose it.

bed framed Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I've watched quite a few movies this week. 2 Guns was the last one I watched. It was pretty good. I liked the story line between Denzel and Mark Wahlberg. Chronicle was ok for an anti-super hero movie where teenagers aquire super human abilities. Could have been better but it was just cool imagining what I would do with those powers. I love watching animated films (I'm a fucking kid, I know) and I watched two very good ones recently. Monster's University was really good. Also, I'm not sure if most people heard of it but a movie called The Shroods was surprisingly good. I watched the movie '42,' the film about Jackie Robinson. I thought it was ok but could've been way better. American Pie Reunion was actually pretty funny and takes me back to the first movie which was great. All the other ones in between were pretty bad but this one redeems the series. Django was dope. Nuff said Same with Iron Man 3. Just bad ass I downloaded about 80 movies last weekend and I've only watched about 10 so far. I'll have more opinions in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CILONE/SK Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I read the comic that 2 Guns was made from. The comic was blah. I downloaded the movie a while ago, but have not watched it yet. I kind of liked Chronicle. I watched a cam download of it. Might have to download a better copy and rematch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

injury Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 American hustle was ok. The characters are great (christian bale and amy adams kick ass) but the plot is eh Anchorman 2 is "watch if it's free" territory if you liked the first one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yomommasaho Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 definitely liked gravity, definitely liked anchorman 2, definitey do not have any interest in 2 guns, it looks devoid of substance, definitely excited to see both american hustle and wolf of wall street, definitely go see 12 years a slave, it will fuck you up for at least the rest of the day.

UPS! Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Do not waste your time going to see American Hustle. Christian Bale's character is the only light in the darkness that is this heap of shit. ** Slight spoilers below ** The plot.... tired, confusing, cliche, boring. Its the same story you've seen a hundred times, a guy gets rich off of illegal money practices(he's a jew, go figure) he gets hemmed up and then the feds make him wear a wire and cooperate to catch bigger fish. Sounds cliche but exciting, it isnt. The development of the plot is almost if not worse than the character development. The other characters? Amy Adams is alright but her fake British accent wears on you as you see her go in and out of it to keep a charade going that im not exactly sure why it is even necessary. Don't even get me started on Bradley Cooper's awful character...might be the worst role ive ever seen him do. He plays some guido FBI agent who curls his hair, lives with his mom, and flatout has no intution or sense the entire movie and seems as confused as the audience throughout most of the film. Biggest pile of bullshit of the entire movie goes to.... One scene...one scene ruined the whole movie for me. Around the middle of the fucking thing CB is suppose to introduce a fake Arabian businessman to a mafia don during the sting process....the Don somehow speaks arabic(come the fuck on) and ask him a few questions in arabic to which the fake Arab(who is mexi) does not answer any of them...thus blowing the cover of the whole operation, yet everyone who just saw the virtual facepalm go about the plot like it never happened.

Im just looking out for you guys, don't waste your 3 hours didnt read past cuz i am gonna see that shit. saw wolf of wall street the other night, i enjoyed it immensely, even tho american hustles getting better reviews. wolf of wall street is very similar to both goodfellas and casino (stylized direction/editing, similar storyline of a man who makes it to great heights with an illegal enterprise and comes crashing back down, told over the course of a decade) and im sure youve heard it by now, even tho its 3 hours long, it blows by and is entertaining from start to finish.

UPS! Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Wolf of Wall St was good, but I was expecting it to be epic. Im just over the same tired storylines no matter how well done they are. You know what the fucking end is going to be before the movie even starts. Decap is from another planet though, dudes acting is too good. Wolf of Wall St. was like a 3.5/5 and I expected a 5. Way better than American Hustle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
