What Did You Watch Today?

The Santa Clause

Just watched all of the original Star Wars films for the first time in ages. I watched them when I was younger, but I never really took to them like most people did. It's nice to know that, even without nostalgia or first time viewing amazement, that the films completely stand up, and despite some pretty ridiculous dialogue, they're great films within their own right. Very excited to watch the new one now, and tempted to watch Episodes 1 - 3, even if I remember them being pretty bad as a kid, just because.

Trainwreck. It was okay. Amy Schumer is not likable and so it kind of fell flat as a romantic comedy for me. It may have worked if Bill Hader was shown to be a bit more flawed or if the two had more chemistry.

Pokémon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages is pretty decent. Not going to be anyone's favourite, but it's a upper end Pokémon movie with some really cool indulgence for fans.

Terminator Genisys - or however the hell you spell it. Thought it was better than Salvation and definitely better than Rise of the Machines. Liked the twists and plot changes, but hated they gave away the biggest twist of all in the trailer. And so much was explained about Skynet by one casting choice...

Spoiler

No wonder they couldn't get rid of Skynet for good. They should be looking for a blue police box that's bigger on the inside and destroy it!

Creed (2015) was great. Great performances from Sly and Michael B Jordan. The fights looked epic and it looked like Ryan Coogler is a experienced director. But hey, he's up and coming and I can't wait for his next film!

[Monkey D. Lars]

The Hateful Eight (2015), is great and filled with lots of great performances especially from Walton Goggins. WHY ISN'T HE LEADING MORE FILMS?????

Carol is my favourite film of the year by far, even with my hefty expectations. It's the most beautiful film I've seen in forever, and just incredible work in front and behind the camera. 

 

I'm just here to quote Jimmy and totally agree with him.

Inside Out.

Got it for the kids for Christmas. I like it a lot, it's a pretty clever way of showing how our brain works. A few scenes had me laughing pretty good. Never thought I'd like kids movies so much, but they're pretty good and most importantly, the kids like them.

Just saw The Night Crew. Is it weird that I rate Danny Trejo higher than Steven Segal as an action movie guy but I've never hated any Segal movie I've seen but this now makes 2 Trejo movies I've ended up not liking?

Watching the Man from UNCLE as we speak, pretty good thus far.

PIXELS - We decided to watch it because it was one of the presents Heidi got for her son, who is an Adam Sandler and Kevin James fan, For video-game nostalgia, I give it a B+ (No Dig-Dug? WTF?!) I more or less figured out what the deal was with Peter Dinklage's character before they actually revealed it, but it was still pretty entertaining. One thing that was awesome as hell:

Max Headroom speaking for the aliens, and it actually was Matt Frewer doing the voice. *thumbs up bigtime*

Rewatched Donnie Darko last night for the first time in years. Still a great film.

[Benji]

Avengers: Age of Ultron was solid, they found the right character balance this time around which was missing before. Ultron was a pretty average villain, but to be honest I always thought the same of his comic counterpart, and with the inter-Avenger relationships on show, the villian doesn't need to be too deep unlike most superhero films.

What powers a mirror?

Pulp Fiction

For the first time.

God damn.

[Damian WayLNKe]

Creed was awesome.  I didn't see any of the Rocky movies until sometime over the past 5 years or so (and I only watched the first 4).  I love the story of Rocky and the Creeds.

Watched the first few episodes of the first season of Human Target today.

I had forgotten how fun this show was.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Heroes Among Heroes (1993), a Donnie Yen/Maggie Cheung film directed by Woo-Ping? AWESOME!

[Monkey D. Lars]

Kill Zone - S.P.L. (2005), best Donnie Yen film I've seen so far. Also Shout outs to Sammo Hung and Wu Jing!

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

The Revenant is god damn incredible.
