What Did You Watch Today?

[Kaney]

I thought that looked pretty good on it's trailers. What's it comparable to?

[stokeriño]

I...don't know? It's odd in a very particular what-I-understand-to-be-characteristic-Wes-Anderson-brand of oddness (although I say this having only seen Fantastic Mr. Fox of his other films). I don't even really know how to describe it.

Maybe someone who sees more films than me can answer better.

It's awesome! If you've seen any of Wes Anderson's previous films, and especially if you've liked them, you'll end up liking this. It's very Royal Tennenbaums / Moonrise Kingdom-like. He likes to make it seem like we're watching a book come alive, or at least that's how I've always viewed his movies. Very vivid colors, very off-the-beat humor, lots of fun stuff.

[LL!]

I like to imagine it's a raunchier version of a live-action Looney Tunes cartoon. It was excellent.

[Jimmy]

I'd say the only way to describe it is that it's a Wes Anderson film. It's quirky, quite dry and full of brilliant actors.

[stokeriño]

It's also one of those films where you're very conscious of the way in which the camera shots are framed, simply because it's often so stark and unusual (and enjoyable).

[Jimmy]

And if you like it, check out Wes Anderson's other stuff, especially Rushmore and Moonrise Kingdom. Grand Budapest isn't my favourite of his stuff, but it's still pretty great.

[Benjamin]

Wes Anderson's best movies for me are definitely Royal Tennebaums and Fantastic Mr. Fox. But especially Fantastic Mr. Fox. It's fucking, fucking, fucking good.

[stokeriño]

Little things in FMF blew my mind. Like the use of the Robin Hood/Maid Marian love song from Disney's Robin Hood as background music on the radio at one point (BECAUSE THEY'RE FOXES). Amazing.

And the wolf scene. I love the wolf scene.

Re-watched Zodiac. Such an awesome, underrated flick.

[Benjamin]

Tokarev is a really horrible movie. What the hell, Nicholas Cage.

[Noah]

Spectacular Spiderman.

How in the fuck have i not watched this wonderful cartoon before now?

[Baddar]

Just watched We're The Millers.

Went in with really low expectations, but it was good. Laugh out loud funny in parts. Glad I gave it a go.

You might wanna say, you have no ragrets watching it?

Exactly.

I found Jennifer Aniston to be really funny in it too.

[Benjamin]

We're the Millers was one of those good surprises from last year. Really easy to enjoy.

[Benjamin]

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, silly name aside, is fucking amazing. Really surprised me in the best way possible.

[livid]

Finally got around to seeing Blue Ruin. It's fantastic.

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Miami Vice. It was alright, I guess. 7/10

The Collection

I don't remember the first one being so brutal. I just remember him hunting down the one guy for what seemed like years. First half was so-so, relied on a bit too many jump scares I thought. Finishing was stretch was awesome, though, and exactly what I wanted to see. Overall, pretty good flick.
