What's The Last Movie You Watched? XIV - - - Part 16

Looper

What a terrific time travel scifi flick. They got a lot of things right when you make a real scifi film. I didn't notice that much in the trailers but watching the movie, Joseph Gordon-Levitt looks and acts exactly like Bruce Willis, it's scary. My only complaint is that there's a few scenes that slowed the film down and I thought they could've done it in a better way. My favorite scene has to be JGL/Bruce Willis time lapse loop, it's absolutely incredible.
9/10

That's My Boy

Well... It's funny during some points I guess. It also have every 13 year old boy's fantasy of banging your hot teacher, I guess that counts for something. Oh and I guess there's a few gross out scenes involving incest and that's about it.
5/10

Judge Dredd (1995)

After seeing Urban's Dredd and loving the sh** out of it, I thought I would check this out. It's one of the many definitions of a 90's product and for the most part I really liked it. Sure, it doesn't follow that closely to the comics but take that away and it's still entertaining. I like how they blatantly ripped off Blade Runner with the city itself. Also I didn't know Diane Lane was in it and that ups my score.

I'm warming up for Looper by watching Rian Johnson's films. First out Brick.

It was a very interesting and smart film, especially visually, technically and in dialouge. The story itself is not as tense and dramatically striking as the style of the movie suggests. But it's hard not to admire the deliberate editing, the code-like dialogue and the mysterious music. Gordon-Levitt carries a lot in the main-role, when it's a bit thinner around him.

It's good. Three crack-bricks out of five.

The Horde
For those of you who haven't seen it, this is a French zombie movie. It's about a group of cops who do an illegal raid on a Nigerian gangster's hideout in order to avenge a fellow cop's death. Just as the s#!t is about to hit the fan, the zombie-pocolypse begins and the cops and the gangsters have to work together to try and get out of the building alive. Only things I didn't like were the subtitles (I hate having to read subtitles during a movie) and the fact that the zombies were the "new improved running zombie" breed.

Everything Must Go- Pretty decent flick.

Resident Evil Damnation

Just nice. Degeneration was much better than this one.

Unforgiven

A pretty decent western that is one of Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman's best films. There's some nice camera shots in this and I dig the gun fights for the most part.
8/10

Rock of Ages

Lets see, it's got fine women and Byran Cranston...I guess it's ok. I found out through watching this that I am not a fan of cover songs at all. lol

Capote- Great great movie.

Melancholia

An impressive opening but the rest is really not my cup of tea. The first half of the film is a lot of moping around for far too long. The fact that the entire first half was all in that same night bored me. The second half is where it gets interesting yet not enough to give this a pass.
4.5/10

 

[kewlmatto]

In the Line of Fire - Solid '90s action film with some good suspense and one of Eastwood's better performances as far as his action films go. Love the dynamic between Malkovich and Eastwood. I hope when we finally see Riddler again in a new Batman film it plays out somewhat like this.

 

[Nirvana]

The Game- I liked it.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

The Grey
First view grading B-

 

[kewlmatto]

Just watched Snow White and the Huntsman. Much better than I expected. Charlize Theron was great, the costumes, effects and designs were all good. Such a shame that Kristen Stewart is so dull. She is like a void in the film. As the main character, it's really off-putting. A better actress in that role would have lifted this film from passable to good.

LOOPER

The fact that the film Looper invigorates the time travel genre is just one of the reasons it deserves high marks.
Based in a dystopian future of the haves and the have absolutely nothing. Joseph "Joe" Simmons (Joseph Gordon-Levitt,),
is a Looper one who terminates those transported from the future for the mob .Loopers who are seemingly living
the good life of collecting silver bars as payment which comes attached to their transported hits, and clubbing drug induced nights.
Then they are faced with closing the loop,meaning terminating your future self,but Joe's future self (Bruce Willis)
has other plans.

Shades of other popular time travel films like The Terminator and Frequency run throughout Looper,also a dash of
X-men is put into the mix.
Even though the prosthetics and contact lenses applied to Levitt are a bit distracting he and Willis are excellent
in the film. I also liked Jeff Daniels moments as Joe's boss, a lieutenant in the Looper organization he expertly channels
The Dude character from The Big Lebowski
There is also an involving subplot with a sugar cane farmer named Sara ( Emily Blunt), who lives with her son Cid (Pierce Gagnon)
and how they figure into the lives of the 2 Joe's.
If that isn't enough there are two love stories at the core of the film.One familial and one romantic.
Director and writer Rian Johnson offers the audience a plate full of style,action,humor and romance and i gladly gobbled it up.
Sale of 1-10 an 8½
