Waldorf and Statler Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Budapest Hotel As anything Wes Anderson the cinematography, pageantry and dialogue is brilliant. Love this film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomTervo Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) My sister keeps recommending I watch it (and, yes, Ralph Fiennes is fantastic) because it's not very Wes Anderson-y in the ways I dislike... but I've already been burned twice or thrice.I think it's his best film specifically because it transcends "Wes Anderson". My fave is probably Life Aquatic, but GB Hotel feels like it's in a totally different league. I cant even compare it to his other films at all. It's really high energy, globetrotting, plot-focused fun. Some amazing cameos/ gags too. EDIT: Just remembered my penchant for overhyping stuff is probably showing. Ignore everything I just said. Watch it begrudgingly, in a bitter mood, expecting an even more plodding Rushmore with one joke an hour Edited June 24, 2014 by kenshi_ryden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Grave of the Fireflies Saddest movie ever. It really, really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 It's a strange movie to recommend to people. It's great, but it's only going to depress you. The only film outside of the horror genre where shit just gets worse and worse and never ever lets up. There is no hope in that movie whatsoever, no highs or lows. It just plummets from the start. The movie basically just shits on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Lone Survivor Surprisingly good. The action set piece in the middle is absolutely brutal, and its the best reason to watch this film. It's maybe a touch long, and could have used a little less...stuff at the end (Village...) but that aside, i 'enjoyed' my time with it.

deanb Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 For me Grave of the Firefly's is always the "Oh you should totally not watch this film". It seems it comes with the same advice as LSD: Watch it with someone who has watched it before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Heart Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 The Cabin in the Woods. Supposedly going from Netflix so decided to get round to watching it, and glad I did. I'm not a fan of horror films, but had heard this was not your typical one. It most certainly is not. It's a postmodern take on things, akin to Scream, but to say too much would spoil it somewhat. I will just say that it's a good watch, and the third act is gloriously outrageous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Cabin in the Woods can be a pretty hard sell because explaining to anyone the reason they should watch an ostensibly cliched and terrible slasher movie would ruin the fun of seeing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Secret Life of Walter Mitty. One of a couple movies we had the option to watch other day. It was chosen due to being "feel good movie". Was pretty good, I quite liked the typography stuff, and I hope to see similar used some more. It was kinda similar to how Sherlock dealt with text messages and stuff. Which is a pretty big issued to tackle these days. Showing the screen of a phone is a bit not great. It was a nice feel good film I guess. Lots of questions over how he was capable of going from his initial moments to being quite fine with fleeing sharks and volcanos and such. I like the..err Tom I think from eHarmony kind of breaking up the action a little bit and was nice towards the end when he showed up in person. It all kept up quite well with everything flowing quite smoothly from one scene to the next so you weren't left with too much time to go "oh wait..but!". Probably my only major beef with it was me constantly going "how did they get young Karl Urban in this film with a beard?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) American Hustle. Lots of Amy Adam's side boob/cleavage. Good stuff. Edited July 3, 2014 by Strangelove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoCreator Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Watched 'Non-Stop' yesterday. It's a pretty good thriller that plays on American terrorist sensibilities. Good pacing and the perfect role and range needed for Liam Neeson. Just released this month on DVD/BluRay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I still think non-stop is a horrible title. They should've called it "Taken... to First Class" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Finally got into a theater and saw How To Train Your Dragon 2. Put simply it's pretty dang wonderful. Definitely a worthy sequel to the first movie, if not having surpassed it in some regard. I was worried that too much was spoiled in trailers and in truth there were some good plot points spoiled. Still, it had enough to satisfy a viewing in theaters. Cool new looking dragons, great music, and some neat character development. Only have two problems with the movie, one a plot point and the other about a character. The plot point is how Drago controls a Bewilderbeast, which is how he can control an army of dragons. How does Drago have command of such a dragon though? It's kinda hard to believe he can command the thing so forcibly to achieve his goal. We see how he can force himself with other dragons, but I doubt a boot on an Alpha is all it took. The character is Hiccup's mother, however not her actual character, but the circumstance of her absence. I know this is because it's a product of making a sequel to an encapsulated story. Anyway, her Cloudjumper was the one who took her away, but I thought we were suppose to think all the dragon attacks on Berk were from dragons under the reign of a Queen. So I guess the Coudjumper decided screw it, I'll take this lady and we'll do adventures and rescue some dragons too. I can look past those though and immensely enjoy the film multiple times.

staySICK Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I went ahead and spoiled myself and to answer your question, Atomsk: have you watched either of the cartoon series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Isn't there just one? I think it was on a second season last I saw an episode, but I didn't watch much of it in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 no there's two seasons, the second one is called Defenders of Berk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangelove Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 "I Know That Voice" is pretty cool, especially if youre as interested in voiceacting as I am. it pretty much has everyone from animation and videogames in it being interviewed.No Troy Baker though, sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
