ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I watched that new Spider Man the other day and it wasn't that bad, still not my cup of tea as not a fan of movies with just animations, prefer real actors, definitely lots of spider webs throughout the movie, I'd give it a 6.5/10.

Still can't stand Ed Helms 4 hours ago, Monty said: In university, the most annoying people were those in the theatre department who were always “on”. Those who were convinced everyone wanted to see them perform from the time they woke up, to when they fell asleep. They were also the people who were most likely to move to Hollywood, because they knew they would make it. The only thing was that everyone else knew they wouldn’t, because they were truly terrible, but were convinced otherwise. Ed Helms is one of these people to me. He somehow made it. I’m not sure how, but he did. 3 hours ago, riffraff said: Yo this guy plays Andy frikken Bernard! How can you doubt that talent? Thought I was the only one who couldn't stand him. The Hangover, The Office, whatever else he's been in that I've seen- I've never once found him funny. He did give us "Big Tuna" though, so there's that. One of the best nicknames in hockey right now if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Bird Box I didn’t think this would be very good, and I was right. Works much better as a book, which it was, and it did work. If possible to work as a movie, it didn’t work here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 The Hateful 8 6.5/10 the use of the N word was strong in this script. got worse as it went on and it was far to long of a movie which probably didn’t help. started off pretty decent and I wasn’t sure if Quentin was going full B film or attempting something more real. but as I said I was laughing at it not with it by the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I’d probably put it right at the bottom. I can usually rewatch his films. I couldn’t with Hateful 8. Tried watching a second time and stopped after 40ish minutes.

I was really tired last night and totally zombied out on the couch. It’s a slog, that’s for sure. Once in a while I think about finishing it, because I remember liking certain parts. But it’s not a film that’s really entertaining. The dialogue is typical Tarantino dialogue, which means its quality, but it’s not a terribly clever script, which is understandable considering they’re confined to one location for majority of the film. But at nearly 3 hours long and set in one location, it better be clever, interesting, and entertaining on a consistent basis. This had elements at times, but far too inconsistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annihilation That’s it. Once I watch the ones above I mentioned, I can finish it up. But if those disappoint, then my Top 5 will become a Top 2.

Literally can't think of a movie from 2018 that really stands out to me. I watched Bad Times at the El Royale last night. I'd give it a 7.5/10. I always seem to like movies that show the same thing/timeline from different perspectives. This one just dragged on about 30-45 minutes too long and then somehow felt rushed in parts.

D-Money Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) On 11/17/2018 at 12:17 PM, Monty said: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs Latest Coen Brothers film, made for Netflix. Little two hour film, that contains 6 short stories in the old west; neither of which are related to each other in any way, shape, or form. Not the best Coen Bros outing, but not the worst; and certainly not the least enjoyable. The only short story that was a bit of a letdown was the last one. However, even that had its moments, like the philosophical debate between the trapper and the elderly woman. The two best, in my opinion, are The Meal Ticket (Liam Neeson and the guy who played Dudley in the Harry Potter films) and The Prospector (Tom Waits). All enjoyable, but those were the best ones. Worth watching, because it’s the Coen Bros. Just finished. Overall very good but not great movie. Agree with the two best ones. Particularly Meal Ticket, which I found mesmerizing. Both that and All Gold Canyon (prospector) had such vivid storytelling, with so few words (outside of the repeated narrative performances, and the singing) and actors (total of 6 credited actors between the two of them, and 2 of those had mere seconds of screen time). The opening one (same title as the movie) was pretty funny, but was so absurd, and was such an extreme contrast to everything else. Near Algodones was sort of 'meh', except for Steven Root's awesome bank teller. The Gal Who Got Rattled (the 2nd last one, and by far the longest) was my least favorite...it really dragged, but at least it ended well. The Mortal Remains was so-so, but it tied up central theme well. Edited December 24, 2018 by D-Money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
