Garet Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I caught Shaun the Sheep last weekend and enjoyed it--another good, low-key piece of claymation from Aardman. Although I have nothing against computer-animated flicks (hey, times and technology change), it's nice to see a piece of "hand-on" stop motion for a change. I very much regret choosing Chappie over Shawn the Sheep on my British Airways flight last week. It came down to Big Eyes, Chappie & Shawn the Sheep in the final two hours and knowing nothing of the 3 made a very bad decision based on I'd just watched Ex Machina and thought I'd keep up the AI theme. I didn't regret choosing Ex Machina though, I thought it was quite an interesting film. Although the censorship of films on the plane was a bit weird, my wife watched Fast & Furious 7 and every-time anyone in a bikini showed up, they got censored whereas I was watching Ex Machina which suddenly sprung into a lot of full frontal nudity at the end which was a bit awkward since I found out afterwards anyone going to the bathroom could see all the screens when they walked down the aisle (I realized this when I went to the back bathroom and counted how many people were watching Avengers 2 in economy while waiting for a Korean lady to brush her teeth.) It probably didn't help that was only 1 row away from the front bathroom and next to the aisle. Thankfully Gone Girl only flashed it on-screen as opposed to 5 straight minutes.

rcjp Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Saw Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation; quickly became one of my favorites of the year and my favorite of the franchise. The plot holds together and perfectly strings together a series of exciting and exhilarating action sequences, from a great sequence in an opera house to one of the best motorcycle chase scenes out there. Rogue Nation is definitely worth a watch. It has a couple minor pacing issues (131 minutes long), but it doesn't hinder the movie down much at all. Performances are great all around, Simon Pegg steals the show for me again. Check it out! Saw it yesterday. Really fun. I think the fourth one is still my favorite but this is next. It's great how we're in the fifth one and, unlike other cases, the films are not losing any quality at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteornotes Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is a lot of fun. Not quite as good as the last one, but still very entertaining. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 We're near the end of our 27th queer film fest, Out On Screen, and I must say, there's been some really terrific movies shown this year. I think the BIGGEST hit so far, has been Grandma starring Lily Tomlin! Great movie and she was wonderful in the lead role. How I plus up my Super Pass, from year to year. (o; Me, my pass and my schedule all worked out, lol. August 13/15. (Thanks Clark for the photos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 WOO HOO! My 3D Blu-ray copy of BIG HERO 6 arrived, just a few minutes ago! And I just noticed the "Classics #" on it - 53 - my birth year! Awesome! Can't wait to see it again - later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Watched 'Tammy' last night on Blu-Ray - what a disappointment. I was expecting it to be a lot funnier than it was considering the good supporting cast that it had. The writers ought to be ashamed of themselves...

xShotRodx Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I saw Mission Imposdible last week on imax really good movie. This Monday I just saw Hitman Agent 47 was OK. Also does anyone like what movie theatres are doing adding new leather recliner seating? A few theatres in the twin cities are remodeling to leather recliner seats making it for a more enjoyable movie experience. I think your going to see movie all movie theatres switching to leather recliner seats in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelizeIt Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Just watched War Room (which was the #1 movie this weekend.) it was an excellent movie about faith and family, and the power of prayer. (no it isn't to preachy) A thoroughly inspirational and motivating film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking86 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I just came home from the cinema after having watched "Bølgen" (Norwegian title, translates to "The Wave"). This is the first disaster movie produced in Norway (and I think in Scandinavia), and I thought it was great. I also like that it's based on a very real scenario. Of course there are some of the classic disaster movie clichés, but overall I really enjoyed it. Here's the trailer with English subtitles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF15 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I saw The Martian earlier today, thought it was an excellent film. Great acting, nice visual effects, good soundtrack, and an interesting plotline that wasn't completely predictable. I've always been a fan of space movies, and this one did not disappoint.

cfc Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) I watched Kevin Smith's Tusk last weekend. This would-be horror-comedy started aa a scenario spun out during a podcast, and it should've died there, too. A good performance by Michael Parks, as a serial killer with a literal boner for walruses, is completely wasted, as the movie's one-joke premise, which I won't spoil for those who may wish to see it, drags on for more than 1 hour, 45 minutes.

Meteornotes Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 ^Agreed. I want to see that! So last week's version of Rifftrax Live was the film MIAMI CONNECTION, which is about a rock band named Dragon Sound that are all also martial arts masters that end up fighting drug dealers and ninjas. It is terrible and amazing '80's cheese, only made more amusing by the Rifftrax commentary. The whole movie is on You Tube if you want to experience it. Plus it contains awesome musical moments, like this: dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie, since it took place largely in Orlando and not Miami, should've been titled "Dragon Sound vs. the WORST NINJAS EVER."

Philrad71 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 ^ Speaking of disaster movies, I just saw Everest. It was actually really good and tragic. We went and saw it Friday...very tragic indeed. While I never had climbing Mt. Everest on my bucket list, seeing this movie wipes away any thought that it would ever conceivably make it on there.

CP Maverick Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 This topic should be my highest participation but I don't get to watch movies as often as I'd like. I do let hundreds of other people watch movies at work every day though. [/cinema manager] I'm currently watching Young Frankenstein so there's that.
