What Did You Watch Today?

Café Society was excellent! Liked it a lot, the melancholy feeling throughout really made me fall slowly in love with it until I realized how sad I was when it ended.

[Benji]

Pitch Perfect 2 was good but didn't have the magic of the original. Only real complaints were the random newbie who added nothing with her tacked on love story, and the sheer volume of advertising and product placement.

Just watched The Final Girls and it was pretty fun.  It was like watching a meta horror movie version of The Flash.

Up to Hellraiser - Hellseeker (The sixth one) THESE FILMS ARE GETTING WORSE WITH EACH OUTING!!! 

[Josh]

The series starts off pretty terribly, to be honest. Aside from the practical effects.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yeah I mean like no one watches Hellraiser - any of them - for quality. They're just nice, relaxing, shitty 80s horror movies. The best kind.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Only the first 2 entries are from the 80s! And the first two are quite good. Something different these Straight to DVDs ones I'm watching right now are like random films ending in like. This film was presented by Pinhead.

Welcome to Me was a strangely likeable film with Kristen Wiig about a bipolar woman who wins the lottery and uses the money to create a TV show for herself. I thought it was going to be shite but I really like Wiig and the film was really very good.

That movie really bothered me, but it may just be due to personal bias. She's actually diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (distinctly different from Bipolar), which is what I have. I recognize parts of her experience, but large swaths of it seem so different. BPD certainly manifests in different ways in different people, but I wasn't certain if that was why. It also made me highly disturbed and paranoid about all of my relationships, given how hers go in the film.

That said, I love that cast and some of the bits within it. I'm probably just way too close to the subject matter.

Ooops, my bad, I thought it was bipolar. Now you mention it I remember her saying it was BPD. I guess since I've only suffered with regular, boring old depression, maybe it didn't have the same effect on me >_>

Cannibal Ferox (1981) is well, sick and corny. HOW CAN YOU CALL IT RESEARCH IF YOU GO TO ONE! ONE! ONE! ONE VILLAGE TO CHECK OUT IF CANNIBALISM REALLY EXISTS???

[Benji]

Ted 2 was pretty good. Largely more of the same humour you'd expect that either is for you or isn't. Weird that Mila Kunis made absolutely no appearance in it though.

[Benji]

Aside from a few annoyances and not really being my idea of a faithful FF, Fantastic Four (2015) wasn't nearly as bad as I had been lead to believe at the start, and to a lesser degree through the middle. It was a decent sci-fi flick with good effects.

Spoiler

... then Doom came back and it all fell apart massively at the final half hour.

Worst part remains "It's clobbered time!" being used for damned child abuse though. Christ.

Certainly not as bad as some would have had me believe, but not a film I'll particularly remember or want to go back and rewatch.

[Josh]

I found it far too grey and depressing.

[Benji]

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation was okay, but a bit of a let down compared to Ghost Protocol.

[MDK]

HEAT is a masterpiece. Maybe my bias is showing because I've recently clocked GTAV, but this film is THE SHIT. De Niro and Pachino. The cast is stacked with fucking top people.

[MDK]

LA Confidential is brilliant. You can see LA Noire in it... I'm starting to see a patern.

[MDK]

I don't know if I prefer In Bruges or The Guard. Both of them are terrific. Brendan Gleeson is such a good actor.

[Colly]

I watched Westworld ahead of the tv show starting. I went in knowing it was about a theme park where the robots run amok. 90 minutes later I knew it was about a theme park where the robots run amok. As a kind of test run for Jurassic Park/how to walk like a Terminator it's fine, but bloody hell it's deathly boring and full of plot holes.

Green Room was a slight step down from Blue Ruin, but my god, it still makes your heart go a billion miles an hours. It also really, really makes me want to rewatch Blue Ruin.
