:cry he should have shot the grenade out of the kid's hand

Sniper was the one stressing about it...not me. I'm fine with killing that lil' terrahist.

If he's such a bad ass that can kill a dude from what was it....2 miles away...why couldn't he save himself some grief and just maim the kid at what looked like about 200 yards

Response from Beck. LOL.


In an interview later with Us Weekly (http://m.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/beck-responds-to-kanye-wests-shade-agrees-beyonce-should-have-won-201592), Beck said, "I was just so excited he was coming up. He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody. How many great records has he put out in the last five years right?"

And when asked about West's Beyonce comments, Beck said, "I thought she was going to win. Come on, she's Beyonce!"
"You can't please everybody, man," Beck added. "I still love him [West] and think he's genius. I aspire to do what he does."

Garbage. I'm done having hope the Wachowskis are gonna come up with something good

0/10

The movie has some really nice visual gems like the canon blast in the corn field or even the chandeliers in the space ship docking bay. But the storyline is really bad - actually not so much bad as non existing. Which I guess is the reason you start noticing the art direction.

Also not a fan of the gravity skate boots - sounds like a good idea but somehow looked dorky.

Mila Kunis is gorgeous and I hope Channing Tatum is doing the same for the female audience, otherwise this two hours flick will seem even longer.

2/10 because of the stunning visuals and my crush on Mila Kunis.

The Final Sacrifice:
Classic buddy flick pitting an effeminate teen and his mullet-haired protector Zap Rowsdower against a cult led by Morrisey bent on world domination... and finding a map.

I give this a solid 8.5 out of 10. Good acting, a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat and the real, live version of Yosemite Sam shows up in a legendary cameo appearance you don't want to miss!

As creepy as Jake was in this film, he didn't even come close to how predictable the film itself was. If you imagine Hollywood's impression of paparazzi, you pretty much get where this film goes. The film doesn't make sense in many aspects, especially Jake's genius considering his condition at the start of the film. He's obviously OCD, and at times he gets into places you could probably never get into nearly as easily. It's a borderline B rated flick tbh. Some people I talked to acted like it was a masterpiece. It's just a "we hate them" movie regarding news sources.

I saw it and thought it was pretty good. i'd give it at least 7.5. Wish i could give you more but i'm a terrible critic.
Saw it as well. If Shy faggot wasn't in it playing a tough guy, I'd rate it higher. Is it just me or did Pitt seem like Inglorious Basterds dude a bit older? Odd he keeps making movies from that period about killing Germans. Sure Jon Voight has nothing to do with that.

"My name is Jon Voight and I am more than angry, I am heartsick that people like Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem could incite anti-Semitism all over the world and are oblivious to the damage they have caused.

They are obviously ignorant of the whole story of Israel’s birth, when in 1948 the Jewish people were offered by the UN a portion of the land originally set aside for them in 1921, and the Arab Palestinians were offered the other half. The Arabs rejected the offer, and the Jews accepted, only to be attacked by five surrounding Arab countries committed to driving them into the sea. But the Israelis won. The Arabs tried it again in 1967, and again in 1973, launching a sneak attack on the holiest Jewish holiday. Each time the Jews prevailed but not without great loss of life. And when Israel was not fighting a major war, it was defending itself against terrorist campaigns. "

Aside from the aborted drive in drop & the bank robbery and subsequent shoot out it's tedious. And the Judd girl has no business among this cast, none.

But, my God, that shoot out after the robbery. It's been on the cable for the last week and I DVR'ed it on an HD instance. If you turn that up on a good sound system, way up it is sublime. The sounds & speech you'll pick up is astounding. Especially after they've exited the getaway car. Sizemore trudgin' across that street, in the background under heavy fire is still a grand sight.

And Mann does a good job with the driver. We don't see him get shot we just hear the impact of the round & then see the blood swamp hit the inside of the driver side windshield. "5 minutes" ago this kid was under the thumb of something worse, far worse and would forever be. Now, he is free.

Better Call Saul based half an episode on it, so I rewatched Bob Fosse's backhanded love letter to himself, All that Jazz. Chief Brody was a good as I remembered except he couldn't sing or dance, but everyone else sure could. The lines between reality and fantasy get blurred all over the place; it's a fictionalized account of Fosse's creating the musical Chicago while simultaneously editing his film Lenny, along with all the drugs and women that had to go along with that. Fosse's ex-girlfriend stars as Fosse's girlfriend, of course. Jessica Lange is death, of course. The ending production is impressively self-indulgent; not quite as awesome as I remember but a little more poignant seeing as Fosse was only off by about seven years. One of the movies that closed the book on the 70s. 8/10


PS: I'm glad I haven't gone any longer in life without knowing Michael Jackson owed pretty much his entire dancing style to one Fosse number in a film adaptation of The Little Prince from 1974. Dude almost moonwalked in the damn thing, fer chrissakes.

I loved it. It started off as a rags to riches movie (and eventually ends up as one), but once the triple homicide occurred, I didn't know what was going to happen. That car chase was much more thrilling after it was built up after a good 15 minutes than it was in the trailer. And Jake have one hell of a performance.

The two biggest (which have been addressed by RedLetterMedia) are the soundtrack and the direction. Put David Fincher in the director's chair and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross in charge of the score, and you have an even creepier movie. For the subject matter that the movie touched on, the soundtrack was noticeably bland.

Neither problem prevented me from loving the movie, though.

"Papillon" from '73 with Steve McQueen & Dustin Hoffman. This film has only appreciated now over 40 years later. It was on TCM's 31 Days of Oscar for the music score receiving an Oscar nomination. I DVR'ed it and have been examining it in whole and in part. I recall upon it's premiere that it was panned in general and kind of suppressed by Media. But, it is terrific and is quite an adventure.

A reexamination of this motion picture is a must for all film lovers.

Interstellar 10/10

Very outstanding and original but as I've seen the ratings, everyone finds something PETTY AS SHIT to complain about like getting lost in the context, script writing, and concepts because they aren't fucking aren't smart enough to look them up. Most of all, other people aren't "IMAGINATIVE" complaining about how "fake" the movie is. Well no shit? Its a movie!? Other raters get pissed off about the actors not fitting in with the roles in relation to another movie. You're not suppose to do that!!! The two movies exist in different time periods and most of all different universes. Then I read that most of all.

Like the movie's motto is, you have to leave something behind in order to move forward which relates to the freaking idiots who rated it. Leave ignorance and logical flaws behind. Jesus.

Just saw it on Blu-Ray like 5 hours ago.



Most of all, Christopher Nolan has laid it to them that he's the best director of all time by consistent ratings. Most of all, he always lays out a consistent cast.


Also so American Psycho....9/10..which portrays many people in this forum and most of all the common corporate douche-bag with a multiplier of mental instability.

Requiem For a Dream.........9/10............a delusion that increments with a will to satisfy an goal by reaching it through the use of drugs.

Cast Away......8/10.............another great movie.....just an other will. Wilson!!!

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon........8/10......wonderful action movie powerful message.

Guardians of the Galaxy 8/10 Casting was good. Batista included.

The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies 7/10 I didn't expect this battle to be better than the battle of middle Earth. It shouldn't have. However, I didn't like the lack of casting and most of all the overuse of CGI.

The CGI used for the dwarf was so lazy. Now they're using cg for freaking casting.

Grand Budapest Hotel 9/10

This was a movie I didn't see coming....Very original and puts me in a place and time that I've never seen.

Nice set up for the twist. Didn't see it coming right up until I saw the diary burned just slightly around the edges which was just a few minutes before we see her driving away. Still don't get why Affleck has to stay with psycho at the end.

I watched one this morning,,,"In The Blood"---not bad for 3/4 of it, but, it went sideways so bad the last 1/4 it ruined it. A couple on their honeymoon go to an island off Mexico where the husband disappears. The wife, a trained fighter (I know, I know) won't rest until she finds him. She's a rough customer and tears up most of the island in the search. Danny Trejo shows up and does well till the last part. Stephen Lang is in there somewhere, but, like "Tombstone" he's unrecognizable. The rest of the cast is unknown to me. The wife is built like a brick shit house.

The Mexican guy from "Boogie Nights"---the one wanting to get into the pornos has a nice part in this as the corrupt island police chief.

It's extremely violent and bloody.

Thought it was okay, pretty good. Was worried it would not have much of a storyline but the plot was okay.
Do not see what the fap fest is all about.

Same here. I liked it better than Jurassic World for sure but the ever changing timelines and time travel made for an extremely confusing mess in a number of ways.

Remake of "True Grit" with Jeff Bridges playing John Wayne's "U.S. Marshall Cogburn" --- As a Wayne die hard I immediately dismissed this film upon release. Wouldn't watch it, wouldn't permit the wife to speak of it, nor would I read about it. A couple years ago it finally made it to television and I stopped one night as I was cruising thru the channels and home alone. Wasn't bad, though I picked it apart, talking to myself. I've flirted with it since. Today it was on again so I DVR'ed it. It's improved, aged well. God forgive me, but, it's got more clarity than the original issue, less bluster, more definition. The Texas Ranger played by what's his face is impressive, much better than Glen Campbell. The rancor twixt Cogburn & LeBeuf is comical in the original. Here, it is terse and near violent. It could have been shortened by 20 minutes but I still recommend it.

Watched one from '13 "A Single Shot" last nite on the cable with Sam Rockwell playing the lead as a destitute, near divorced father who poaches the woods near his dilapidated trailer. He mistakenly shoots a young woman for a deer. She dies in his arms. He tracks her trail to a deserted area and a large garbage container where he comes across her hideout (from her boyfriend/a hardened criminal, & daddy-O, I means hardened) & the boodle, a big fucker. His first mistake is taking some of the $100 bills into the small town and retaining a lawyer (William H. Macy) to delay his divorce proceeding. It will not be his last mistake.

It's a complex tale as one can imagine, with quite a few holes in the plot and some startling violence all along the line. The squalor and near poverty of the farming town & community & it's inhabitants is daunting for two hours.

Is it worth the 2 hours to get thru it? I wouldn't do it again.

Watched "Gilda" again last nite on TCM. I DVR'ed it from the nite before when TCM had Dame Joan Collins as guest programmer and she choose this film and spoke about glowingly and at length. It's from '46. The 3 principle characters speak of "love" & "hate" in this film, intertwine the two until the last frame as the two who were (one) before the film commences disappear from the camera enroute for home and American soil.

Watching Rita Hayworth for 2 hours, singing, dancing, smiling, stripping, dressing, undressing, smiling, loving, hating, smiling, dancing, hating, loving and smiling is a privilege. One that I plan on partaking of again & again & again.

Yep, love it. Only grown more excellent as the years have passed. And I'll tell ya, the remake ain't the original, sure, but, it's watchable. And there is a foreign make of this I believe called "12" that ain't bad either.

That old man in the original. I wanted to hit him, hard. Pain in the ass.

The Lee J. Cobb character was the most difficult to execute for the production and Cobb. Cobb had to go somewhere to pull that off. Somewhere dark and barren. I God's, it's just perfection to see this character go from pillar to post in less than 2 hours. And make legible sense throughout the journey. You want to rush it, but, if you did we wouldn't be talking about it over 50 years later.

Robert Webber, so gd new and fresh it's breathtaking to behold.

Warden, tried & true,,,right there.

Ed Begley, never a bad moment on screen.

But, it's Fonda bringing it to the table, and then Cobb taking it and making us beholden to his talent, making us proud.

Yeah, you know there's more to Cobbs reasoning, but you don't know what it is. You see it in his face, you hear it in his voice, but you can't figure out why. Then, at the end, it's comes out, unwillingly, but the seed is revealed.

Even then,,,there is so much more to it, so much more we want to hear Cobb vomit forth, to "see", but, to do so would be wrong, and the production knew it. Even "Cobb" knew it. ---'That's enough.'--- They sealed us to the screen, put us fully back in our seats and quieted the room we were in, or the theater it played.

Early on, Fondas admitting to not knowing whether he's guilty or not, but not willing someone to let die without even having a discussion is beyond him. The others are worried and in a hurry to get back to their everyday lives, which is something we are all guilty of, so you can easily relate.

12 Angry Men delivers a good message through horrible execution. Juror number 8 is an idiot who should have caused a mistrial.

And lol at there being any reasonable doubt when the suspect:
-claimed he was going to kill his dad.
-couldn't remember anything about the movies he allegedly saw that night.
-was witnessed committing the murder by somebody.
-had the exact same kind of knife as the murder weapon, and it coincidentally went missing.

If somebody can't be convicted off of those facts, it would be damn near impossible to put a murderer behind bars without DNA or video evidence.

I watched a good one on TCM the other day entitled "One Way Passage" from '32. Starred William Powell & Kay Francis as ill fated lovers. She's terminally ill with a bad ticker, he's a murderer on the loose from the San Quentin death house who is captured walking out of a Hong Kong bar where the two have just met. It has held up nicely after 80+ years. She's returning home at Christmas to die and runs back into Powell on board ship via a dedicated cop sworn to not come home without him. He tries to drown the cop just before departure, but, instead saves him from drowning and the cop gives him privilege of the ship without restraints. This enables Powell to pursue and fall in love with Francis. Frank McHugh plays a friend of Powell from his bunco days and he provides the comedy relief via many drunken scenes. It's a little much for my tastes, but, he serves his purpose. Francis is at prime & just gorgeous. Powell to is at prime & stunning.

There is a scene of the death house gallows and protocol thrown in about 2/3 thru and it's frightening in it's quick appearance out of no where. At the end Powell is faced with the choice of taking her back to ship, she's had a seizure, or, fleeing. He chooses the former, confesses to her on her sick bed his crime and the punishment that waits. In united defiance of their imminent deaths they agree to meet New Year's Eve in a popular San Francisco bar. It fades out to black===then to the bar and New Years Eve, confetti, party goers, celebration. McHugh, grim faced, stoic, now sober, stands straight, at the bar, alone.

They're simply gone.

I was glad to see him make it. He was funny as a smart ass kid in the TV show, It's Your Move. Then he pretty much disappeared. Like many other TV actors. Somehow he clawed his way back into the social consciousness and made good work in some bit parts and eventually landing Arrested Development. What's funny is in most of his parts, he's playing the same character he did on the TV show.

I guarantee you that the Coen brothers do not make films for reviews and ratings. Llweyn was a fuck up, but there was more too the story than that. I thought it was interesting that the main character was unsympathetic. The main character as antagonist is interesting because all the peripheral characters are sympathetic. The parent/child relationship with the older couple who were curating his career and giving him a place to stay. His friend's girlfriend that he impregnated. The abortion doctor who was obviously a fan. He showed contempt for the people who loved him because that wasn't the love he craved. The scene with John Goodman and the actor in the car before he auditioned for the gig in Chicago representing two alternate paths that Davis couldn't stomach either. The end is great with the symbolic, callback alley beating he takes after seeing Dylan deliver the final nail in his career is very sharp. It was a slow moving train of a film, but I dug it.

Just ironic that we were talking about Bateman and I stumbled upon a movie of his. That happened a couple weeks ago when we were discussing "12 Angry Men." A nite later and it showed up on TCM. That was ironic as well.

Oh. Ok.

I believe the word you are looking for is "coincidental."

The Fault in Our Stars. Didn't know much about it but saw it was coming on and had good rating. Very good and enjoyed it.
Yeah it was a love story and most would see it as a chick flick but I did like it. 3.5/5. :tu

They had on the Marx Bros. yesterday on TCM. I DVR'ed "Night at the "Opera." That damn thing. One part they had Harpo striking a match across a guy's hairy underarm. LOL.

The Book Thief

9/10

Tired old themes extraordinarily well done. This one completely passed me by when it came out.

I caught "Felicia's Journey" yesterday,,,with Bob Hoskins and some girl who is just absolutely gorgeous. Looks to be shot entirely in the UK---it's a stunning visual. Concerns this young girl, her absent bf and her impending pregnancy. She meets up with Hoskins as she is searching, literally on foot for this boyfriend. Hoskins is not what he seems, at all.

Nothing to write home about, but, serviceable if one comes across it.

Solid rookie directing effort by Edgerton. Looking forward to his future films.

I fucking hated that movie :lol Most people seemed to like it, but it really was ridiculous. Maybe I was just expecting something different.

Haha, I can see where people were expecting something different, so I understand that sentiment. I just thought it was a fun low budget, cheesy thriller. Soundtrack was great (RIYL: Drive) and I enjoyed some of the nods to John Carpenter/Halloween. Same guys that wrote and directed You're Next, which I loved as well. Like I said, for me it was a great throwback to some 80s films.

Singin' in the Rain was on TCM last night. As close to perfect as a musical can get. It's a shame it was made just before the proliferation of widescreen movie formats. Just the sequence with Cyd Charisse's legs and 25 foot scarf could have been even more memorable.

10/10

Caligula

Cheesy, comedic flick (for my tastes). Gore Vidal screenplay. Penthouse sluts. A maniacal Malcom McDowell plays the role of emperor Caligula-obsessed with fucking his own sister. Actual live birth scene. Decent amount of porn/orgy scenes.

8.5/10

Daredevil :Directors Cut-Turned me off to superhero movies, on the plus side Jenifer Garner in leather... 2/5 :td

Fargo-Watched the series before the movie. Really slow start, final 25 minutes made the movie good. 4/5 :tu

Unfriended-Very well done, IMO. 4/5 :tu

Poltergeist (remake)-started with some promise. The casting was pretty bad and it caught up with the movie in the end 2/5 :td

Tomorrowland: 7/10. At its heart a Disney boilerplate preachy multiculture pals story with the multiculture stuff kind of tacked on, but great visual effects and extraordinary performances by the main young actresses. They carry the movie more than Clooney does, though Clooney's is the most compelling character whose story is the most thought-provoking. Easter eggs all over the place in historical and collector shop scenes; will have to see it at home to be able to pause and pick out all the details. Probably about 15 minutes too long but it's a nice 15 minutes to look at.

That's pretty generous imo

I agree it was long yet in a movie called "Tomorrowland" I would have been ok if there was a lot of extra future. Instead it's 15-30 minutes too long of today time and when they finally arrive, it's a dismal unimpressive place run by a jaded uninspired House MD.

Nothing original at all, two thumbs down
