What Did You Watch Today?

It Follows (2014) kinda reminded me of this:

We're The Millers was pretty amusing despite it's predictability.

[Arjen Robben]

Insidious is pretty good. First half far better than the second half though.

Yeah, I saw that a few months ago. First half feels genuinely unsettling and creepy and then the afterwards it just goes absolutely apeshit and wrecks it.

[Benji]

Red Dragon was pretty good, plenty of interesting characters.

[Benji]

Be Kind Rewind was better than I expected. Started off really badly, but the home made movies and feel good nature of the film made it enjoyable.

I watched Jurassic World yesterday on the SKY Superscreen, loved it! Yeah the story is stupid etc. but it was just great fun to watch and clearly that was the opinion of many people around me who all went out saying how great it was.

Certainly the best of the sequels.

Death Rides a Horse (1967), great western gem from the sixties with Lee van Cleef in the lead alongside John Phillip Law!

[Arjen Robben]

Saw Jurassic World today. Obviously very silly, and characters nowhere near as interesting as they were in the first but I don't think anybody expected them to be, it's just utter spectacle and fun, which is good.

The best thing about Jurassic World is reading the potential scripts that were considered during the 10 years of development.

Human/dinosaur hybrid mercenaries being the best of the bunch and obviously the creative evolution of the series I'm sure Michael Crichton envisioned.

[Benji]

Watching Encino Man (AKA "California Man" in Europe). I finally get a lot of references, but they aren't as funny in context. Still okay, but not as good as I hoped.

[I Don't Mind]

The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (2015). Tonally this is two different movies. The first half is all based on the Mad Max franchise and proves to be really freaking dark for a kids movie. It also features my biggest gripe with the movie, but I'll get back to that. The second half of the film is all the Avengers based stuff from the trailer where the main characters are superheroes on main land. Overall, it was meh. Recycled a lot of the jokes from the show, which I haven't seen in years. Had a few entertaining parts though.

The biggest problem I have with this - they gave Sandy tits. I mean, when she's not in her aqua/space suit she's always been in her bikini but it's just an outfit. Her outfit in the first half of the film, she literally has curvature. Really weird choice by the animators

This was like the 6th time that I've watched Police Story (1986) and it's still the best action movie of all time and best Jackie Chan flick! The story is simple but good, the humor is great, the stunts beyond epic and the fights insane!

Just damn look at it!

Everyone should take the time to watch Wild Tales (2014). It's just short after short of the craziest murders, it's amazing.

[Jimmy]

One of my favourite films of the year. Some stories are better than others, but when they work, they really work.

[Benjamin]

I've only watched 4 out of the 6, but the last 2 I saw (the road rage and the tow truck) ones are incredible.

Last night I went to an early screening of the latest Pixar effort Inside Out and it was very nice, touching, creative, and relatable. I feel confident in saying it's another victory for Pixar, despite it not being their best effort. It was very funny and sweet, though. Couldn't ask for much more.

The short that played before it was too hammy, though. Definitely one of their weaker efforts in that department.

[Benji]

21 & Over is shit. It wishes it was even slightly funny, but I'm half way through and it's barely given me a chuckle.

[Gorka]

Jurassic World was pretty good. It is surprisingly gory and yet had a couple of laugh out loud moments, even if they were unintentional. I don't think it'll age as well as the original Jurassic Park though.

Yes, thank you LL. I'm been a little afraid I won't enjoy it because it's their first film in a while and Monsters University was a bit of a dip in their quality. Was kinda' afraid they were going to put all their actual effort into Incredibles 2 and Toy Story 4.

Wish I Was Here was a really charming film, in my opinion. Zach Braff was delightful throughout.
