Last movie you watched and your critique of it

[Shorty]

Oh, I didn't notice inconsistent deaths. I didn't have any complaints about the exploding. In fact, all of the gore and business seems really realistic to me. See, this is me getting so into watching that I don't notice these things!

Realistic. xD I guess we have different ideas of realism. >=P

Tell you what reminded me that I was watching a smurfing movie, though, was yeah, that soundtrack. I would have been equally as upset if a rockstar had done the soundtrack. It needed an OST filled with classic old western tunes to have really completed it for me. Tarantino generally has such great music paired with his films, so I was a little surprised.

Bon Jovi in Young Guns II. Blaze of Glory and other such songs. Fitted the movie fantastically... they were all very highly influenced by Western themes, though, so that probably worked in their favour. I don't think you can get Wester-influenced rap working. xD

I don't know all whatever Leo films I've seen. I may have exaggerated a bit, because his best acting will always and forever be in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and I quite liked him in The Departed and Romeo + Juliet. Don't get me wrong, he has some great movies. It might have just been the part for him in this as well, but I just so loved him and thought he did it perfectly. Some of the most insanely passionate and believable acting I've seen come from him.

You should watch pretty much every Leo movie from 2002 onwards. Every one I've seen so far has been fantastic. So.. Catch Me If You Can, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Blood Diamond, Revolutionary Road, Shutter Island, Inception. Obviously now Django Unchained too. I should probably check out the few I've missed... my favourite of that lot is probably Shutter Island, though, which if you have the time to watch is a must-see.

Catch Me If You Can was fun, but it wasn't his best acting. I can't think of Shutter Island as being anything other than droll based on the commercials. Revolutionary Road wasn't great acting on his part, either.

In any case, I'm not such a fan of his that I feel inclined to see all of his films for the past decade. Django Unchained is the best I've seen of him since Gilbert Grape and that's enough for me.

The question you must ask yourself is,

(SPOILER)Was Pi there or not?

The question you must ask yourself is,

(SPOILER)Why did the change the tiger to be Pi instead of someone else in the movie, as it was in the book?

EDIT: Oh wait, now I look like a tit. It's been a few years since I read the book. The cook was the HYENA.

But no, Shiny, Richard Parker wasn't actually there.


Also, Chionos--I think Great Gatsby is going to be fabulous.

It's up to interpretation. The way I see it, the ambiguity itself is the point.

sees the thing as it is, not as it could be. (SPOILER)Actually, I don't know so much ambiguity as a combination of faith and imagination. Pi's not just being intentionally obfuscatory.

X-Men Origins Wolverine

Avoided it for so long and wish I'd continued to to do so.

The plot was awful. The casting was awful. I'm all for stepping away from comic book canon to make a movie work but it was taken too far, I mean Deadpool as some kind of android ?! The only positive for me was Liev Schreiber's portrayal of Sabretooth and I hope he reprises the role in a future X-Men movie..

Django Unchained - 4/5

This is actually the first Tarantino movie I have ever seen, surprisingly. I don't really have too much to say except that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some of the blood and such was a little much for me, which I know is just something I should expect with his movies. That was the only real negative for me.

After watching it, I will say that I can understand where Loony Bob is coming from. The movie did have several moments that pulled me out of the immersion I felt and reminded me I was watching a movie. It never particularly bothered me, but it was very noticeable to me.

Just got around to finally seeing Shaolin Soccer, and oh god that was glorious. Over the top, hilarious, and some very awesome action scenes. Yes, I call them action scenes, cause that sure as smurf isn't a soccer match.

8/10.

[Loony BoB]

Ahahahahaha, Shaolin Soccer is madness.

Rewatched Hot Fuzz last night, still a solid 4/5. It's a good rewatch for me as there were some jokes I missed or didn't get a few years back that I do now.

I watched Bully last night, and Breine was totally right, that was some depressing trout.

[Loony BoB]

I :<3: Megamind.

[Quindiana Jones]

I watched Bully last night, and Breine was totally right, that was some depressing trout.

Read that as Brienne. Couldn't understand where you'd heard her talk about films. :/

Megamind is an absolute credit to the film making industry and, along with Coraline, gives me hope for the future of 3D cinema.

I don't often watch movies, but I watched about half of "Jack Reacher" while on break at work and what I saw was great.

Now I'm dying to finish the whole movie xD
