Re: What are you watching? Film/TV
Watched a few movies lately. Here are some short reviews:
The Hobbit pt 1: Hugely disappointing compared to the LOTR trilogy. 6/10
The Hobbit pt 2: Much better, but still not great (though Smaug was). 7/10
12 Years A Slave: Pretty good, quite an interesting story. 7/10
American Hustle: Not really what I was expecting from the movie, but it was great. 9/10

Re: What are you watching? Film/TV
Kudos for thinking the Hobbit failed!
I mean, LotR is an excellent adaption of the book, the Hobbit is a crap adaption of the book. The Hobbit is a childeren's book. But the movie takes childeren aspects and mixes it with chopped heads, an ultra ugly albino ork and stuff. It just doesn't work.
It should''ve been an all ages movie, okay 6+, but never a 12+ movie.

Re: What are you watching? Film/TV
Yeah, I didn't like the kiddy type elements, smacked of The Phantom Menace to me. Not that LOTR was adults only or anything, but just didn't feel so tacky. The Goblins in particular were fucking awful, as were the Trolls.
I don't mind what they've done with the extended story though. Smaug was excellent as well, possibly the best dragon I can think of in movies.

Would have been a great movie if not for Jennifer 'just like us' Lawrence.

I liked her in Silver Linings Playbook & X-Men First Class. Plus the best thing in a mediocre Hunger Games pt1.Not Tyson wrote:Would have been a great movie if not for Jennifer 'just like us' Lawrence.

Haneke's The Piano Teacher ("La Pianiste").
One of the coldest, most harrowing films I've ever seen. The final scene will haunt me forever. A triumph of euro arthouse sophistication and psychologically disturbing erotica.
If only Hollywood were so bold.
If only most people didn't prefer to go and watch Christopher Nolan embarrass himself with hammy, overtly emotional claptrap and grandstanding comic book drama.
Aaaaaaaah the dilettante mass populace......

Re: What are you watching? Film/TV
^That goes nowhere.^
Wife saw Age of Extinction twice, first run she missed the last half hour because of an emergency call. She thinks it is an awesome movie and would totally not mind to see it a third time. Best in the series to her.
Still waiting for Jupiter Ascending.

Re: What are you watching? Film/TV
So I watched this movie at Tyson and Califum's recommendation. I quite enjoyed it up unti the final scene. I was scratching my head wondering if this was some kind of elaborate troll or cliffhanger. I even watched the end credits waiting for some further explanationCalfium Jay wrote:Bought the new Denis "Prisoners" Villenueve film Enemy on blu ray:

If you haven't seen it yet, PLEASE go out of your way to do so.
I'm not going to spoil you as to what it's all about but....yikes!....that final "scene" and all......
In the end there appears to be none. Perhaps there is stuff I missed in the movie, but it's really taken the wind out of my sails. Maybe I'm expecting something too Hollywood.
Either way, I'd probably give it a 7/10 right up until the last 10 seconds of the movie, at which point I'd reduce it to 6/10.
