Movie thread

I'd be leery of taking kids to Jurassic World. It get's pretty graphic at times and there are quite a few "dino in your face" moments. Have you watched any of the previews Jeb? If not, check a few out, that should be a good indication.

My son went in saying "dinosaurs don't scare me" and came out saying "that was TOO violent".

Me, I would have preferred to see more dismemberments, spurting blood, and entrails. These were all inferred, but not directly shown. That would have made it a better monster movie, which is what it was. And it was pretty decent, too, as one of those.

I watched 'Spy" last week. Pretty funny, and Jason Statham played a hilarious character, and had one of the funniest monologues ever (the one about all the injuries he had).

Saw Inside Out in 3D tonight. Wonderful movie, and Lewis Black was hilarious in it. Per the norm with Pixar, even the grown men in our group were tearing up during some of the scenes.

We were worried because our seats were in the second row. But the AMC near our house was recently renovated so there are only 7 rows of seats in the entire theater so even the front row is decent, the seats are big plush recliners, and there's an open bar and real food options. Pretty sweet setup for about the same price as any other theater.

We're looking forward to seeing Inside Out. My daughter also wants to see Minions.

Watched "We're the Millers" and "Chappie" over the weekend.

WTM was pretty good...of course, anything that has Jennifer Anniston prancing around as a stripper would be good.

"Chappie" started a little slow but picked up a bit. It was very obvious that it was done by the same people who did "District 9", although I was imagining it to be more "Robocop" than it was.

Saw an interesting movie the other night on Netflix: The Cobbler. It has Adam Sandler as a NYC shoe repairman who finds out that the antique stitcher in the basement makes shoes magical and allows him to "step into" the lives of the shoes owner. Naturally he gets himself into some shit and has to dig out of it. Despite having Sandler as the lead, it isn't a comedy. It isn't really a drama either. Just a story.

No bewbs, no real hot chicks, no explosions. Still entertaining. 3 out of 5 stars.

Took junior to see Inside Out on Father's Day (in 2D). Definitely one of the more adult-friendly kids movies I've seen in a while. Was cracking up at various points throughout the movie. I think the closing credits were the best part with some of the "shorts" they included.

We went to see Inside Out last night. I was a little worried it would be too sad, based on comments here (YMZ) and critic reviews, but it wasn't - just little kid type sad, no ultra-depressing death like in "Up". I really enjoyed it - very inventive - what a great way of breaking down how the mind and emotions work. I also enjoyed the fun they had with the concept during the credits, too. My son liked it a lot, as well.

Sounds like someone missed the whole point of the movie. That's too bad.

Anyone else having a difficult time seeing Paul Rudd as an action hero in this ant movie?

Yes.

 

[Supe]

I have a difficult time seeing Paul Rudd in any movie...

 

[Road Guy]

The only movie I really like that he was in was this is 40.

 

[Supe]

It was an OK movie only because of Leslie Mann's boobs and next-to-naked Megan Fox.

 

[YMZ PE]

I liked Role Models, but more because of McLovin and Stifler.
