Kragar Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Just watched the Martian last week. Really enjoyed it. Thought it would have helped if he had requested to have his MP3 player/whatever tech he had sent up with the supply ship, only to see his devastation when the launch failed, since he was so bummed about the music he was stuck with. Wife is reading the book, and seems to be enjoying it even more than the movie (not a rare occurrence, of course). Looks like I will have to pick it up when she is done with it.

I think I rated the first one somewhere around 7 or 8, the second 6 or 7. This just seemed devoid of ANY soul. It was like a big CGI orgy for the sake of it. It pains me to write that about anything based on Tolkien's work but holy @#$% what a festering deuce of otherwise worthless CGI. I suppose if I have to give it a number... probably 4.5/10 and that's merely for the technical achievement/eye/ear candy and pity for one of our greatest writers fine work. Seriously, did anyone have ANY sort of emotional response to this? Disgust. As a huge Tolkien junkie (I had read LOTR 3 times by grade 12), I find these Hobbit films an absolute travesty. I have serious problems with The Two Towers & The Return of The King, but these latest films by Jackson are far and away more terrible, totally unwatchable in my eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Exit Through The Gift Shop 9/10 Finally watched this. F'in hilarious. This guy is awesome. "It's like you know- they say life is a chess match. And me I don't know chess. But that doesn't stop me from playing." I know nothing about the backstory, with Banksy it could all be a card tower of deceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't even give the Hobbit movies a try, given how messed up Jackson's LOTR was. I have caught some of the Hobbit scenes while channel surfing, and watched a little bit, but it just doesn't align with the books enough for me. And why did he need 3 Hobbit movies? The book wasn't as large as any LOTR book, so he's definitely going overboard here. Pretty scenery and all, but lacking in story and characterization (goes for all of Jackson's Tolkien work). Such a shame after all the years of waiting for great movies to go along with the amazing books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I want more of the show, but I think even if a comedy is quality, it has a hard time running a full drama run time. It would definitely suffer a bit, but if I'm being selfish, I would take that trade off. Having more episodes to each season would is enough for me.

slickjim23 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 "House at the end of the street" 2/10. Hilariously bad, tbh. Stupid twist and some really bad acting. A lot of unrealistic moments as well... Apparently getting shot three times in the chest at point blank range is survivable, lol. Only reason it's not 0/10 is because of Jennifer Lawrence and her cleavage on display the whole movie. That gets a +2 from me. Don't watch.

g_bassi13 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Corner Gas: The Movie - 6/10 The main story of the city shutting down worked very well, but the comedic side plots didn't so much. I mean you can't take what a 22 minute bit and stretch it to an hour and a half for the same effect. I can appreciate trying to make a big picture story interlaced with the formula of the show, but I mean each person could have resolved things and moved on quicker. But it was pretty decent. I liked it. Shut up. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the google blurb to this movie "Her Daugther, Elissa (Max Thieriot)"? Nothing to speak on his acting capabilities, but that's a weird casting choice.

Green Building Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 ?/10 Another "Indiana Jones" film has long been rumoured, occasionally with whispers of different actors taking over the role from the 73-year-old Ford. But Spielberg has repeatedly insisted Ford would never be replaced. "Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can't wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019," said Alan Horn, chairman of the Walt Disney Studios.http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/indiana+jones+return+with+ford+spielberg/11786453/story.html#ixzz432SlJ5mS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
