Fun little film

I've been wanting to watch that but no one else has been willing to. Xfinity On Demand, here I come.

American Reunion

 

[Team Andino]

Since I've bought the 007 collection on Blu-Ray for Christmas I decided to go through each of them in order, some I haven't seen in years while others I could quote without issue. Started officially last night with...

Dr. No 4/5

^ What did you think of Dredd?

If someone said they preferred Dredd over both TDKR and Avengers... I wouldn't argue with them.

It's a well made film that's the first modern film I've seen in quite some time that actually does justice as a homage to Robocop, Terminator and the other R-Rated auctioneers of the 80s. And Urban makes for an incredibly memorable lead.

Les Misérables

As not a avid lover of musicals of any kind (I'd rather go to Bollywood films if I want a musical number), I thought this was a pretty good film. The entire movie was based on singing, so it kinda took me a while to somewhat enjoy it. I can see why people are praising this because it was so grand, the look of it is stunning.
7/10

Hyde Park on Hudson

Wasn't expecting much from this but I end up really liking it. Bill Murray, Laura Linney, and Samuel West were terrific and while the story isn't plot heavy, it's sorta character heavy. My favorite part about it was the conversations between FDR and King George VI.
7.5/10

The Dark Knight Returns 1 & 2. Part 2 was sooooo good

You read the comics?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Kickboxer 2

Story is stupid, nonsensical, and incoherent. Not a proper follow up to one of my favorite Van Damme movies, it doesn't even feel like a follow up, too much echo in the audio, music feels like it belongs to a Super Nintendo game
And I can't find the Avengers (Marvel) book Xiang was reading in the hospital

4/10

 

[James]

The entire film I was thinking "Gee, this could have been a really cool crime drama if it didn't have all this political nonsense ham-fisted into it." and I still believe that to a certain degree. That said, the final scene wrapped it up really nicely. Overall, I enjoyed it a lot.

GANGSTER SQUAD

Unlike other hat/gangster squad vs the mob/police corruption flicks like L.A Confidential,Mullholland Falls and
The Untouchables,Gangster Squad never takes itself to seriously.When the film goes for wit the aforementioned
works in its favor,but when the humor overtakes the dramatic moments the lack of seriousness hurts the film.

There is a tremendous amount of talent in the film (Josh Brolin,Ryan Gosling Sean Penn Emma Stone Nick Nolte
Anthony Mackie Giovanni Ribisi Michael Peña Robert Patrick and Mireille Enos but unfortunately they have a lukewarm script to work with.


The heavy make up used on Penn portraying gangster Mickey Cohen is a distraction.It reminded me
of one of Dick Tracy's enemies like Prune Face or Little Face.Not sure why they deciDed to do this since the real
Cohen basically looked like an everyday joe.Stone is basically a semi damsel in distress in the film.
Why such a talented actress would take such a minimal role is beyond me ,even Stone has joked about how small the role
is in recent press junkets for the film.

The first half of GS is fun,the second half is predictable,badly edited and anything that could have been suspenseful
is diluted by the films ho-hum approach.

Scale of 1-10 a 6 wait for cable or the DVD
