What's The Last Movie You Watched? - - Part 19

Flight

So good to see Zemeckis back to live action filmmaking.
He hasn't lost his entertainment skills.

7.5/10

 

[Nirvana]

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey- Third time theatrically

 

[psylockolussus]

Temptation of Wife

 

[Panthro]

The Secret of NIMH (1982)

 

[Hunter Rider]

This is not really the movie described on the tin, the stuff with the cartel plays into the finale but the bulk of the film is an intimate portrayal of the life of LA uniform cops working the worst areas, this is seen through the eyes of Officers Taylor and Z, brilliantly played by Jake Gylenhaal and Michael Pena.

It charts their beat, their family life, their hopes, their brotherhood and ultimately their fate. The banter between the two is great and feels authentic and is often funny.

The films weakness is that the gangbanger characters are caricature's and say nothing but f**k over and over to the point their dialogue makes no sense. Ayer's choice to shoot in a found footage/docu style is something that will divide opinion, I found it was often effective but also erratic in the lack of clarity of when it was the two cops cameras we were seeing from, and why when it wasn't, the film still felt like a documentary.

All in all the the journey of the two leads is compelling, relateable, intense and tragic, you build up such a bond with these two characters that the brutal ending stayed with me long after the credits rolled. 8/10

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Extended Editions on Blu Ray - 10/10

This is simply just filmmaking at its very finest.

Django Unchained - 8/10

Not as good as Basterds but my third favorite Tarantino film. Filled with excitement, tension and humor, this doesn't disappoint. Every performance is excellent.

Lethal Weapon - 9/10

Les Miserables - 8/10

Very emotionally charges and well performed. My only criticisms are the ADD editing paired with the frantic camerawork that strained my eyes. But other than that, very well told.

Finding Neverland

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Safety Not Guaranteed

Aubrey Plaza is not the strongest lead. I feel she was type casted, playing the cynical hipster once again. We do see some depth in her acting, but not enough. Jake M. Johnson that carries most of the comedic moments along with Mark Duplass.

It's a Wonderful Life
First time seeing it's a Wonderful Life, and I can see myself watching this every Christmas from now on.

Just tried to watch Premium Rush.
It was total crap. We shut it off half way through. Can't believe JGL got involved with this

 

[DarkSovereignty]

For real. None were like able. Even the villain was so crappy that I couldn't even root for him to kill the unlike able main characters.

Silver Linings Playbook. Decent.

 

[Lady Marion]

Merida

It was ok, some very funny moments. 6/10

Well this is why they make the big bucks and you are just a forum poster. Break into hollywood and make a movie then and lets see how easy it is.

 

[jonathancrane]

The Doctor Who film.
I have to say, the scene of the 7th Doctor getting capped and dying was considerably painful to watch.

 

[samsnee]

So should I see Django or Zero Dark Thirty? Only have time to see one.

Now you know why some people don't brake for bike messengers.
