Movie thread

sadly the only part of the frozen movie that I like is when OLAF is in it...

Watched Django Unchained, Borne Legacy and The Giver over the weekend.

If you like the N-word, Django is for you. Overall I thought it was a good flick, but got cheesy towards the end. I would not recommend watching it with anyone under the age of 16.

Borne was disappointing. I love the series, but I just couldn't get into this one.

The Giver is a very Utopia/Distopia view of a possible (although unlikely) future. It shows what would happen if society is rebuilt where history and emotion were scrubbed from the general public.

I saw The Giver about two weeks ago. If you read the book as a kid, you will not be a fan of the movie. Doesn't remotely do it justice.

Watched Django Unchained, Borne Legacy and The Giver over the weekend.

Borne was disappointing. I love the series, but I just couldn't get into this one.

Bourne had it's parts. I thought it was cool to see the clash of the 2 stories unfolding. Taking out the drone was pretty cool. And when he saved the doctor at her "conveniently remote" home.

^I thought the first half or so was outstanding thriller material. But the rest of it didn't live up to the first part.

Girlfriend was over this weekend and hadn't seen it, so she pulled up "Frozen" on Popcorn Time. I almost dumped her on the spot...but then decided to just let it go.

Watched "Gone Girl". Good movie, but that was one F-ed up chick.

Gone girl was way better than I expected. Not a Ben Affleck fan, but the character fit him well.And that girl was f'ed up big time.

I almost forgot, I also watched the new Robocop this weekend. It was entertaining enough...pretty much get what you'd expect from a movie about a robot policeman (it was a freebie on Netflix which tends to soften my evaluation of a movie).

I did catch a couple throwbacks to the original in there. At one point someone uses the line "I'd buy that for a dollar" and of course "dead or alive, you're coming with me".

I've been meaning to watch that one.

I was hoping when they killed off Peter Weller in Sons of anarchy that they would have thrown in a RoboCop reference but alas they did not

 

[Dleg]

The new Robocop wasn't bad, but it wasn't the old Robocop, which automatically means that it is inferior.

 

[MA_PE]

they had a Robocop marathon on TV awhile ago. I watched Robocop 1,2, and 3 in succession. Not a bad series but certainly not extremely noteworthy.

 

[Dleg]

No, but Robocop 1 had a certain style to it, in an almost cult-film like manner of extreme yet cheesy violence and quotable lines. The new one is just a re-make, which I find objectionable on the face of it (come on, Hollywood, give us something original!!!!)

 

[MetsFan]

I can't wait for this one... New trailer!

Finally managed to see American Sniper and The Imitation Game. Both are pretty good and highly recommended.

Ah yes. Where would we be without another natural disaster summer movie.

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

And that's just another reason why I don't go to the movie theater very often.

They need to be hitting that swell at a 45 deg angle.
