What Did You Watch Today?

[Thrilla]

There was a bit at the start of the blackjack bit where he had a King and 9 and the dealer had a 10. He should have split the hand and played both against the dealer >_>

Just realised that one of the massive bodyguards I recognised and thought might have been a wrestler or fighter, was a former NFL player and has been in Brooklyn Nine Nine.

Saw Home a little while ago, it seriously surprised me. The plot is a little overused, sure, but the investment the film put into developing the two main characters and their relationship really bore amazing fruit. Spending the first hour on them before actually moving with the plot was genius, it really made anything that might affect Tip and Oh and their friendship absolutely important and not to be taken lightly, because it made it very easy to care about both of these misfits. Great film, awesome surprise.

For a film from the 90s, Judge Dredd (1995) sure feels like a film from the 80s. It's not awful, but I can't say I'm a fan.

[Benji]

Time Lapse was a decent story that was really well realised. Very well made, certainly a pleasant suprise from what I expected.

Next Goal Wins hit me right in the feels. It's about the American Samoa football team and their attempt to qualify for the 2014 World Cup.Even if you don't like football it's still a great story.

Oh, I'll say it: Judge Dredd flat out sucked.

I still haven't seen it, but I've heard Dredd, with Karl Urban, is at least 10 times better and more true to the comics. (The helmet and uniform certainly look better)

[Monkey D. Lars]

Critters (1986), deadly furry balls!

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

Went and saw Wild last night. Reese Witherspoon is outstanding. The whole movie was great really.

[Benji]

RED (2010) is okay, but not much else. If it weren't for the names involved then there's no way I'd give a toss, because the story is bland and the direction is mediocre.

Not watching it now because the England match is on, but later I might watch Six String Samurai. Low budget post-apocalyptic film about the death of the King of Vegas (Elvis) and the battle to claim his throne as the king of rock and roll. I love this film. If it had a bigger budget and better actors it could have been amazing, but I still think its a good film. I just love the idea of the film.

I think I may have seen Confetti before, but I may just have remembered stuff from the trailers. Amusing movie, sweet without being too saccharin.

I also like this film because it is like a weird version of Fallout: New Vegas

If you have even a passing interest in horror films, you have to see this.

I'm not big on horror but I appreciate a good one when it comes around. I've heard amazing things about it.

It's so simple, yet it's executed so well.

It didn't have me jumping out of my seat in terror, but it's a damn good movie.

[Benjamin]

Rewatched Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2 today. The MCU really flows nicely together, think if I actually did that AMC marathon thing it would be amazing.

So sad nothing more happened with Tim Blake Nelson's Leader, though. That would've been so fun.

[Monkey D. Lars]

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013), Ground control to Major Tom!

[Benji]

Edge of Tomorrow: Live, Die, Repeat was good, certainly a lot funnier than I expected.

[Benjamin]

Phil Spector was weird. Mirren and Pacino were great in a lot of places, but there were parts that were kind ifcringe-inducing. Script was pretty great, though.

[Benji]

Hot Rod was decent. Started out a lot better than it wound up though.
