MisterP Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I'm an old guy and huige movie geek who doesn't really have much of a taste for the newer CGI-fueled, explosions and car crash kind of big budget summer popcorn flicks. But last night I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy in 3-D IMAX and it was freaking AMAZING! I laughed my butt off! It looked amazing! The 3-D was fantastic! Man, what an awesome movie...
tarheel1231 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 That 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' movie looks awful. The 300 movies are decent, but Frank Miller's newest project looks like a disaster waiting to happen.
_IntaMAN_ Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 ^ I have faith in it, Frank Miller is amazing, I love all his works and the first Sin City was really good so I'll be looking forward to this. High hopes and low expectations.
scottiemon Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Dang....Robin Williams is dead. Apparent suicide.
Garet Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Dang....Robin Williams is dead. Apparent suicide. I was watching Hook the other day as well with my students , although I can see people are already posting about it on the dead celebrities thread: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=51312&start=1270 I finally saw a 4Dx movie here in Korea, I saw How To Train Your Dragon 2, I'm glad I experienced one since they seem unique to Korea for now, but I'm not sure i'll see another one in 4d. In a theme park it's fine but for a long movie it was basically slightly tilting seats and a wind machine which was more distracting than anything and one or two times I felt the wind machine drowned out dialogue and music. I'm not a tall guy by any means but my knees got a whack or two during the movie when the seats in front tilted back. The cinema also boosted SoundX which i'm not quite sure what it is but there were a lot of speakers, maybe to compensate for the wind machine.
Sherman Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Recently I saw Expandable 3 great action movie,Now I'm planing to watch other movies like transformers 3, down of planet of apps etc. suggest me more movies.
rcjp Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 ^I was quite disappointed by Expendables 3. I really enjoyed the 2nd (haven't watched the 1st) and was expecting more. I thought the 2nd was funnier and had better action scenes and, overall, was just more enjoyable.
singforfood Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Has anyone seen As Above So Below yet? Thoughts?
scottiemon Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Just saw November Man. Very good thriller/action movie, with some good plot twists. Had a J. Bond feel to it with Brosnan in the lead.
rosscoe Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Just saw November Man. Very good thriller/action movie, with some good plot twists. Had a J. Bond feel to it with Brosnan in the lead. Was looking for something to see this coming weekend, and going by the above thats enough to get me to see it.

molemaster43 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Anyone else here see The Raid 2? Fantastic action movie. #1 of 2014 and has become a favorite of mine. 10/10

Really enjoyed it, worked parts of it out about half way in. One of the better summer movies.
rcjp Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 ^Interesting that you both liked it as Rotten Tomatoes gave it 36%. I guess it's one of those films that don't really appeal to critics but do a fine job at entertaining you.

I go to a movie to be entertained, not necessarily looking for an Academy Award film.

That was the thing about it for 90 or so minutes I was entertained, it did what it set out to do. Was it one of the best movies ever, no. But it was a crap load of fun, grab a coke some popcorn sit back and enjoy.
Risky Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 I just got to say: 2015 is going to be an AWESOME year for animated movies! TWO Pixar films, and hardly any sequels! So excited!
rosscoe Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Australia had previews tonight of The Maze Runner, turned out to be a really good movie, suspenseful, characters that you cared about, and kept you guessing to the end. Really enjoyed it, a solid A minus movie.
ImmelMatt Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 ^^It looks like there are going to be a lot of animated movies next year (Wikipedia counts 11!) but aside from the Pixar movies and Kung Fu Panda 3, I can't say I'm excited for anything coming down the pipeline. Hopefully there will be a surprise or two.
VF15 Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 The Maze Runner was surprisingly good. I liked it because it wasn't your stereotypical young adult dystopian movie. Good acting, plenty of action, and some interesting plot twists. It was a lot better than Divergent in my opinion.
azza29 Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Good to hear that Maze Runner is worth checking out. I saw The Boxtrolls last night, definitely a good surprise. Might not be to everyone's taste but if Nightmare Before Christmas and Paranorman are your thing I would certainly recommend this one. Not the typical plot-light kids film - superb animation, unique story and some very memorable characters. Judge for yourself whether it's better than Frozen...
ahhculdee Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Just wanted to post James Spader's leaked Ultron voice from the Comic-Con Trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron, and boy is it freaking creepy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdSbK1E2lPE
_IntaMAN_ Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 ^ His voice isn't that intimidating but I hope they do Ultron Justice. He's one of my favorite comic book villains.
_IntaMAN_ Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 You know it's a good day when Bill and Ted 3 has officially been confirmed by Alex Winter.
ImmelMatt Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 I loved The Boxtrolls. Laika is without doubt the Pixar of stop-motion animation.
