What Did You Watch Today?

[Monkey D. Lars]

I saw the first one plenty, but never the 2nd or third. The Godfather one is amazing as well!

Man, I watched Gone Girl the other night and was left with this feeling of "What the fuck did I just watch" afterwards. I'm still really not sure what the hell happened.

[Benji]

I'm two hours in and enjoying it a bit more, but waning like always. Come on last hour, make that save!

[Benji]

Yeah, last hour did a decent job of pulling it back. It's still not amazing - specificially it feels bloated and could've had a lot of content cut - but it's gone from a film I'm indifferent about to a film I liked. The scene at the church was fantastic.

[Benji]

Blow started off slowly (a lot of stuff happened, but for the first hour it felt like it was just waiting for the real story to begin) but finishes red hot. The second half was so strong though. The ending had me in tears.

[Benji]

I am part way through Friday the 13th (2009) and it is shit. FT13 movies aren't really my bag (though I loved the goofy as all shit Jason X and Freddy Vs Jason), but I hoped they might do something interesting with a reboot, but it's just standard horror boobs, boos and blood.

Django

Waaaaayyyyy too long. But I wish they would've given Sam Jackson's character a little more backstory. I know QT was pitching for realism and all but I really think the N word was massively overused throughout.

I'd say it was still my 4th favourite QT film behind Pulp Fiction, Dogs and Jackie Brown though.

The new TMNT was a shit load of fun. The elevator MC Mikey scene was hilarious

[I Don't Mind]

I also just saw the new TMNT. I know this has always kind of been a thing in the franchise but watching it play out as an adult, I was a little uncomfortable with how much a turtle wanted to fuck this woman

I haven't seen it, but the Honest Trailers for TMNT was pretty great.

tl;dw, it basically lists all of the complaints with the film before having a kid interupt and say "Hey, no, I'm 10, this is awesome" and the argument kind of falls apart. Not to mention the TMNT films from our childhoods were rubbish too.

Like, I'm sure from the trailers that it was garbage, but eh, it's for kids. Sure, it's possible to make a film for kids that's also genuinely good (see: Marvel, Disney), but it's still cool that there's a TMNT for the new generation. I dunno, I was a pretty big TMNT fan as a kid, but I'm pretty okay to let this one go. It can't be worse than the films we had.

A Long Way Down is a rather faithful adaptation to the source material. I enjoyed the book, and the way that it translated to film was brilliant. I was pleasantly surprised at how well Pierce Brosnan worked in his role.

Like hell they were. TMNT 1 & 2 still hold up to me to this day. I liked 2 better than 1 because Keno amused me but still.

[Monkey D. Lars]

The first 2 TMNT movie are so much better then the raped version that came out this year. There was nothing fun about it, Megan Fox is terrible, the turtles looked awful and the jokes were terrible.

[Benji]

So Reservoir Dogs sure is something, huh?

[Skummy]

I hate 'it's a kid's film' as an excuse for shitty writing. If anything, writing something for kids should make you work even harder on it, because as adults we can overlook or make excuses for plot holes and mistakes, but you lose a kid's attention or interest, you're not likely to win it back. Some of the best movies are kids' films that don't insult the audience's intelligence.

[Colly]

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!

I loved it as a 16 year old and didn't watch it again until fairly recently. I still feel the way about it now as I did then... It's awesome.

Dare I say it's the second best Tarantino film? Yes I dare.

[Benji]

Mr Bean's Holiday is funny, and I think better than the first. Will never not love Bean.
