Honky Cat Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The Nice Guys...7.5/10......Good movie,very much along the lines of American Hustle..kind of a retro,black comedy...Great performances by Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling.. The movie is set in 1977 Los Angeles..focused on two bumbling PI's...Although.I did notice a glaring mistake with the continuity,..In the movie,while at a party,they had 'The Pina Colada Song' and 'Get Down On It' playing..Those two songs came out in 1979 and 1981 respectively.

Although, I just downloaded quite a few awful Clint Eastwood films from the late 70s and mid 80s, so think I want to slug through one of those first.

Only Coen brothers film I didn`t bother finishing. It's a good movie; interesting idea; great music; great set design/lighting to give the film that 'bleak' feel. There is nothing for me to really 'critique', I just personally wouldn't want to watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Jay 22 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Sausage Party: 4/10 Not so bold prediction: Seth Rogen smoked all the weed he could find in his house, then combined his dirty mind to whatever he saw first (food in this case) to make a movie. I've always found him incredibly overrated. I laughed.....sometimes. This was not a good movie to put underlying political messages in though, which it did throughout the movie. Humor was mediocre, didn't like the morals it was preaching, and towards the end, the jokes got repetitive. Only reason to see this movie is if you and your buddies want to have a guys night out and go see a movie while drunk/stoned. Wouldn't recommend what I did: Went and saw it sober.

This movie looks like a massive waste of my time at 34 years of age. Now, perhaps if I was 16 and thought Seth Rogen was funny, I'd think differently. 3 minutes ago, Shift-4 said: "Right turn, Clyde" is all you need to know.

Up there with No Country and Barton Fink for their holy trinity IMO. sentimental value, maybe. Gotta go with Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink and The Big L as my trifecta, and then it's kind of up in the air between Fargo and Burn After Reading and Oh, Brother!

Rogen is way over rated. It's no surprise that Goon and Da Ali G Show are head and shoulders better than the stuff Evan Goldberg wrote with Seth. Annabelle: 3/10 This movie was straight up awful. There was an opening scene that introduced the concept and then cut to the meat of the movie, but then the movie really never came back to it at the end except as a weak acknowledgement that there was in fact an introductory gimmick. Then, the last scene is completely unrelated, introducing characters that had no relevance to the rest of the movie (in writing) nor any reason why they would end up with the doll. Since I was a kid I've thought that the concept of a living, evil doll is one of the scarier plot concepts out there. Chucky and Night of the Living Dummy of the Goosebumps series gave me nightmares as a kid (the only R.L. Stein I remember scaring the crap out of me). This movie looked like it had potential in the ads but now that I watch it, it`s not even about the doll except as creepy imagery. Lame. This movie tried to combine a whole bunch of cliched horror movie concepts and ended up with a steaming pile of... The doll - Chucky The priest - Excorcist The baby/demon - Rosemary's Baby/The Omen/take your pick The dead chick in white with hair in her face - The Ring The black occultist chick - All of them? The box with the 'do not open' sign - Indiana Jones (not even horror). At least the acting by the main couple was pretty darn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
