CanuckofSteel Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Out of the Furnace- 8/10 Really enjoyed this movie, great performances by all the actors involved. The movie looked great and I really enjoyed the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckofSteel Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Grudge Match- 6.5/10 The beginning of the movie was average, the middle was kind of lame, but I enjoyed the ending. This is not a good movie by any means, but it's good for when you really have nothing to do. The credit scenes were good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Watched "The Butler" on the weekend. Good movie, touching, well acted. Brought to life a "challenging" period in American history well I thought. Nothing vastly ground breaking but well worth a watch IMO 7.5/10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhrR4B0hUaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckofSteel Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Pacific Rim 3D- 8.5/10 This movie was insane, I didn't expect it to be that good. The Jaeger and Kaiju are so badass, I was slightly dissapointed by the ending. This movie was pure action though and it was really cool. The 3D was rockin also, a lot of depth was added by watching in 3D. I regret not watching this movie in theatres or in IMAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ass Backwards - 2.5/10 I have always liked Casey Wilson, so points go to her and Bob Odenkirk in a nice role as pagaent host. Otherwise, snooze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookie Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Snowpiercer - 8/10 (I think ... hard to rate) Watching this felt like the first time I saw The Matrix. Aside from not being my type of movie at all, it was cheesy, unbelievable, and stuffed with bad acting - except Octavia Spencer, she rocks and (SPOILER) gave on of the better death performances I've seen recently. But but but, as with the Matrix, I couldn't help but admire/respect that they were really going for it with an original, unique, balls to the wall big budget, high concept movie. The action scenes were superb. There was a ton of style. The juxtaposition of brutal violence with slapstick comedy and classical music. Overall it felt to me like one of those movies that reminds you how excited you could get escaping into a movie as a child.

g_bassi13 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Captain America: The Winter Soldier - 8.5/10 I'm not entirely sure where to go with the rating there. I really enjoyed watching the movie. The action was great, and the general gist of the storyline had my attention, with the whole fear vs. freedom angle. Can't talk about it without spoilers, but it was very fitting for a Captain America movie. But there was a certain amount of disconnect with the movie for me. I think it had to do with me having accidentally watched that episode of Agents of SHIELD beforehand which entirely spoiled the basis of the movie. I won't know for sure. But speaking to the individual aspects of the movie, I'd say they nailed most of it down. I like that they addressed the whole Peggy Carter thing, but I was kinda disappointed that they shoved most of the Sharon Carter thing to third movie, just so that they could have tension between Captain America and Black Widow. Not that it didn't work for the movie, just that you knew it wasn't going anywhere in the future, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crom! Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Joe 7.5 (What?! Nick Cage in a good movie!?) A lot like the movie Mud. I went to check who the boy's (same boy as mud) father was played by, thinking that I had seen that actor before, but it turns out that they had just hired a local homeless man. Apparently the guy died living on the streets just a few months after finishing the movie. Snowpiercer 7.5 Much better than I expected going in.

Yup, if I had expanded on my original Snowpiercer post I probably would have echoed a lot of what you had to say about it. Edited April 12, 2014 by Crom!

Kryten Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Just made the mistake of semi-watching Odd Thomas. I enjoyed the book when it first came out but the movie was unwatchable. Made it to the scene where his mother gets arrested and had to pull the chute. Terrible, terrible movie. 0/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 A Single Man: 7/10 Colin Firth is great, as always (for my money, he's the best actor). But the movie is excessively stylish. Didn't care for the end. But it's still good and enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALGARY! Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Saw The Hobbit Part 2 last night, good movie, 7/10 I guess. Like the first one they dragged it on a bit much. I've been a fan of Lord of the Rings and Hobbit Movies, but the third LOTR and two Hobbit movies are a bit drawn out. I found the ending to part 2 of The Hobbit a bit anti-climactic. I would have ended it right when they got into the Lonely Mountain, leaving Smaugs appearance for the final installment. Also watched Insidious 2, I am a huge fan of that series. Can't wait to see the next one. Those movies(part 1 and 2) are really scary, but without the use of too much gore and blood ala Saw movies. Really like the plot of part 2, give it 9/10. A few weeks ago I watched an independent British Film, The Weekender, which was about the early Rave Scene in England in the late 80s/early 90s. Really good film for anyone into ornused to be into rave culture as I was when I was younger. The film is loosely based on Valhalla Productions, which, if I'm not mistaken still throws massive EDM events in the UK. It follows 2 young guys who decide to throw there own rave, and eventually build on that to the point where they are throwing parties every weekend, maintaing a small Ecstasy distribution network inside their club, then eventually the underside ofmthe business catches up with them, and they have trouble with local gangs and what not. Really good movie, it was on Telus On Demand a few months ago, in recommend anyone interested in that sort of thing see it. 9/10. On a side note can anyone recommend a good crime/true crime drama? I am really into movies like The Departed, American Gangster, Goodfellas, Casino etc, and have not seen much released in that genre lately.

D-Money Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 /\ Not a gangster movie, but Croupier was a pretty cool heist-style movie that not a lot of people have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely on the excessively artsy side, but i thought Killing Them Softly was a pretty good gangster movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Owen needs to do more ACTUAL films, not the garbage he's been doing for the last several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
