Last Good Movie You Saw

Really? Robocop was good?

 

I heard one thing about it that turned me off:

 

"Taser Gun."

 

The next few words were,

 

"He fights mostly robots..."

 

I guess I need to go into and forget that it's a remake. 

 

I don't have a stick up my ass and 90% of complaints are "they brought nothing new to the table, watch the original"

 

But I thought it was interesting, was more than entertained and well worth 10 bucks. It depends on whether you're a Wally world who isn't very cynical and goes in with an open mind, or  the above

Wolf Children

 

If you've ever watched anime movies such as Miyazaki/Ghibli ones (Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Laputta Castle in the Sky, etc...) I highly recommend you give this a try. It's as heartfelt as a Disney movie and shows the struggle of a (human) widow trying to raise her werewolf children. The animation is amazing, the story is bittersweet, and the characters were great.

 

While you're at it I can't recommend Jin-Roh the Wolf Brigade enough. Especially if you like Hellghast armor design.

Gravity 

 

Second viewing for me; still retains much of what made it such an experience in the theatre. Looks and sounds incredible (curtains closed, lights off), Bullock and Clooney are great, Drama is still gripping and tense. I just wish I cared about the characters a little more. Same complaint as last time though, so I'm considering that a success. 

 

For me at least, Gravity holds up to a repeat viewing in your own home.

The Incredibles

 

babysat my younger siblings, was as good an excuse as any. Still a pretty damn good film. Just love Edna Mode.

Love how stylized it all is. The CGI is noticeably dated compared to current techniques, but once again aesthetics wins out so not of it really matters.

 

 

Perhaps Pixar's most under appreciated work to date. Fantastic soundtrack too.

Frozen

 

Watched it with housemates brothers over (including younger half-sibling who had seen it in cinemas). Very good, certainly lived up to the hype, though at the end we were comparing it with Tangled and felt Frozen's characters were a bit weaker, but were all also "yeah can't wholly remember Tangled's plot". Frozen definitely had a pretty cracking soundtrack too.

Reason I bring up the younger brother is that either we've pretty dirty minds or the film has a pretty high amount of euphemisms in it. I think the collective favourite was "take me up the north mountain".

Ratatouille - Another under appreciated PIXAR gem, and arguably one of my favourite animations of all time.  Lovely little story, some of PIXAR's best animation to date and a gorgeous score. 

 

Mud - Tight little coming of age story. Takes a while to get going (when don't they), but after the initial 20 minutes, it kept me entertained right to the end. Some fantastic shots too.

Also saw Anchorman 2. Its about as good as the first one. These movies thrive on repeated viewings. Give 2 another year or 2 and people will say its just as good as the first.

Anyways, I really enjoyed it, but I have to say Im kind of over famous actor cameos in comedies. That last part was kind of boring. I didnt mind Ford because he actually played a character, but the rest was too much. Dont get me wrong, walk on cameos used to be awesome(Adam Sandler's movies seemed to revolve around them honestly), but Im over it.
