Brother Glacius Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 The Imitation Game - 9/10 - fantastic movie. My wife and I were just totally into it throughout the whole movie. Just an amazing story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Walk of Shame - 9/10. I love a good stupid humor comedy and this one delivered well. It took the movie about 30 minutes to get it going; however, once it started it didn't let up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Into the Woods: 5/10. I like musical theater, but this sucked. We tried watching it last night. I couldn't sit through it. I don't think I got half way through, so I won't bother rating it. I didn't realize it was based on a stage play until a bit into it. I think I'd enjoy it as a live production, but I've never been a fan of Musical Movies. Cannibal: The Musical, Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables being notable exceptions.

tombking Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 So I missed out reporting on The Dead One/Blood of the Zombie : 4/10 : This had a better plot that ZAAT but the acting was pretty awful in a lot of places. Newlyweds go visit a the Plantation hubby now owns due to legal mumbo jumbo, his sister does not want to give it up so she summons dead cousin green skin back from the dead to have revenge. Anyway bonus points for going to the strip club right away on the honeymoon, heck the wife even drags them in. Starring Joe Jones. Last week wasn't a movie but 2 tv episodes, starring Richard Evans who was there as he lives just over on Bainbridge Island. It was an episode of Peyton Place and The Mod Squad, and fun stories about working on movies. Sunday my youtube recommendations gave me this Mexican gem from 1968 La Mujer Murcielago (The Batwoman) : 5/10 : Well yeah 1960s TV Batman ripoff, but this time a woman, and has a bikini batoufit and a luchador. The villain is a mad scientist making a fish man and really yeah thats it. See it on the interwebs if you dare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplepeopleeater Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Guardians of the Galaxy - 9/10 - easily the best movie of the Marvel universe until Deadpool comes out next year. Dracula Untold - 8/10 - unique take and I like the slight modification of the original transformation story. Hobbit 3 - 8/10 - Funny actually, I really liked all 3 Hobbit movies, but would make my worst enemy watch Lord of the Cra...I mean, Lord of the Rings... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombking Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Whoever Slew Auntie Roo : 7/10 : This week was of schlock was fun. Shelly Winters as Auntie Roo. We are not sure who is more evil. Auntie Roo going over the bend with loneliness and guilt from her daughter who died young, or the 2 orphans who she kidnapped and are being held against their will. This one is good fun and definitely worth watching and with supporting roles from Ralph Richardson, Lionel Jeffries, and Hugh Griffith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 So, I went to see Jupiter Ascending... If I were to rate this movie on visuals alone, and what I feel the goal of the siblings vision...i'd say a solid 7/10 Sci Fi Flick If I were to rate this movie on story and plot alone...well...let's just say it makes less sense than Prometheus on a good day... 2/10 But if you can go see it cheap, want to see some sci fi action, cool aliens, and know that there are sections of the plot just completely cut out of the film...yeah, 5/10 :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered about that from the trailers. Do you think the visuals will translate to a 50" TV or do I need to see the eye-candy on the big screen somewhere?

andozane Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Oh, I pretty much consider any movie translates to a good home theater setup...the only movie IMO to this date that absolutely had to be seen in a good quality theater was Avatar...that was pure 3D Eye Candy (and zero story, terrible, plot, yada yada yada, but still gorgeous). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Into the Woods: 5/10. I like musical theater, but this sucked. I would like to strongly agree with this review. It has a few good moments, but you have to sift through way too much crap for them to be worth it. Godzilla 2014 on the other hand, 8/10. If any of the human actors story's had been worth a damn, then it would have been rated higher. They did a good job at focusing on what people actually care about: a big lizard beating up on other giant monsters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 See, I didn't get anywhere near my value on "giant monsters beating stuff up" out of that Godzilla movie. Way too much time spent on badly done attempts at "human interest". I'm not watching a Godzilla movie for the human interest, I'm watching it for the monsters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombking Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 See, I didn't get anywhere near my value on "giant monsters beating stuff up" out of that Godzilla movie. See some of my previous comments about Godzilla films. Yes it could have had a bit more monster bash but I really enjoyed it. It was a movie about the people affected by the monster and not the monster itself which is what makes for a good Godzilla film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Maybe...but the people were so terrible..... Once Cranston dies, it is left to his son to be the focal point of the story. And that guy is just BORING. He is also the worst soldier ever, he gets two different squads completely killed pretty much due to his actions. And I'm still confused how the army didn't see the HOLE in the side of the mountain before going inside that big vault to look for the eggs... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda thought it was more about Cranston, his son and Dr. Serizawa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only human character who seemed even remotely interesting got killed off in the first five minutes or so. Most of the time we're stuck with this kid who constantly looks like he's about to cry because of his daddy issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Fury - 8/10 - Wow... what a movie... not overwhelming, but wow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 It was plenty enough monster fighting for me. They are in it just enough to still be impressive and somewhat frightening, without being overdone to the point of me no longer giving a rat's ass.

Blustorm Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Kingsman:The Secret Service: 8 out of 10. Pretty good satire of Bond movies and the spy genre in general. Godzilla was ok, but nothing beats Pacific Rim. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weav Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I saw Kingsman with Blu last night...I'm less enthusiastic about it than he was, and we went because I was excited to see it. I would say 6/10. It could have been much cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Kingsman 9/10 - my wife and I loved it. Fairly good pacing, plenty of very cool fight scenes, and good old fashioned English spies. Mr. Jackson was great too as was his main henchwoman. This was a good entertaining romp. A bit of language, and lots of violence. Not really one for the kids. This one is going in the library as soon as it comes out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkie Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Godzilla was ok, but nothing beats Pacific Rim. Quoted for falsehood! Not impressed at all by Pacific Rim. Waaay too much time wasted on trying and failing to develop characters. Transformers in waist deep water is what it was. The previews were good though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
