Star Trek: Into Darkness again...and the first half of Chicken Run.

[Benjamin]

Oh God I want to see Chicken Run again.

[Your Mom]

We watched the first Star Trek again to get ready for the new one. So good!

[Summers]

The Great Gatsby was captivating. Very enjoyable and well done.

[LittleDaniel]

Scream 4 -- Surprisingly enjoyable.

The Aquabats! Super Show! -- Amazing.

[HC]

I remember being so disappointed with Scream 4, although I haven't watched it since the original theater run. At least it was better than Scream 3.

[Numbahs]

Says you.

The Great Gatsby was fucking awful. Arrogant filmmaking with no respect for the source material. And if you can figure out why Jay Z's on the soundtrack, then hats off to you. I can barely even appreciate how good some of the cast were because it was just wank.

EFf that. Loved the inclusion of modern music. A real clash that added to the wildness of certain aspects.

[Jimmy]

It skips over all the dramatic and personal moments of the novel to indulge in grand set pieces which added nothing to the film. And I hated the modern music so much. It just distracted from the narrative and it missed opportunities to have authentic 1920's music at the parties. It wouldn't even say it was much of a clash, but the scenes matched the modern music. It's probably not a terrible film for anyone that hasn't read the book, but it was my worst experience at the cinema this year.

[LittleDaniel]

Because Jay Z's fucking awesome. That's why.

[Numbahs]

I think Moulin Rouge is great, but if you go back a couple pages you'll see that I also thought Gatsby sucked eggs. There's a reason why the studio moved it's release from December to this summer.

I liked the inclusion of modern music and didn't think it took away from the story at all. It was kind of an inventive mark from the director. But, yeah, the movie had a lot of problems otherwise. Mostly to do with shitty Tobey Maguire.

[Numbahs]

Tobey wasn't given anything more to do than mugging his excitement and sympathizing with everyone when they had issues. I don't think it had much to do with his acting ability.

[GA!]

The book is crap. I understand why Baz Luhrmann included modern music and other modern parlour tricks - to hide how the story is non-existent, as narrated by a completely passive character who spends 90% of the book gushing over Gatsby (who is about as enigmatic as a bag of popcorn).

Luhrmann fails because he has to overcome the source text, yet thinks Tobey Maguire is the person to help do that. Plus his direction is campier than an army of Joel Schumachers.

No. NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *becomes most colorful stampede victim*

[TKz]

Let's all just agree that Tobey Maguire is the worst.

[Monkey D. Lars]

At least I had fun with Final Destination.

[Numbahs]

Let's all just agree that Tobey Maguire is the worst.

I've seen Fast & Furious 6. Vin Diesel is the worst.
