His dialogue at that party about his feelings on the youth of today, really hit home for me.durdencommatyler wrote:There's a lot to love about it.

Mud.
I thought it was ok, loved the photography, the acting was great, good pacing and storytelling...yet the whole movie was just fine by me. Didnt need that ending i guess.

Broken Arrow
I saw it when I was like 10 and thought it was the greatest movie ever. Man, this movie is fricken absurd.
John Travolta still plays one of my favorite villians in this & Face/Off.

Re: What Movies are you watching?
I liked it too when I was younger. Haven't seen it since the theater on its opening weekend. But I've watched Face/Off since, and I really love it. It's stupid, sure. But it's the good kind of stupid. And you're right, Travolta is great in both.Harry Lime wrote:Broken Arrow

The Limits of Control. Pretty to look at, at first, but mostly a bore. the actors are wasted on stupid dialogue.

Source Code. Alternate reality flicks can be tricky to pull off but this one mostly does it. Little disappointed in the ending though.

I fucking hate John Woo's American films. For good Woo, check out The Killer, Hard Boiled, A Better Tomorrow and Bullet in the Head.durdencommatyler wrote:I liked it too when I was younger.

Re: What Movies are you watching?
Our Idiot Brother - my expectations were near zero which is maybe why I loved it so much. Great cast. Funny. Charming. Not at all what I thought it was going to be. Much less stupid and more character driven than expected. I like Paul Rudd a lot.
The Road (2009) - pretty faithful adaptation outside of all the mom stuff. Didn't work on me like the book did. But I liked it.

It was about as good an adaption as could have been done, but it did fall flat with me too. I never got the overwhelming sense of desperation and dread from the film I got from book.durdencommatyler wrote: The Road (2009) - pretty faithful adaptation outside of all the mom stuff.

The added mom stuff damaged the story for sure, but it's expected as a movie about a father's dedication to a child would be against the Hollywood code of conduct unless the mother puts him up to it.

Re: What Movies are you watching?
I didn't really like Dredd, some of the action was good but I didn't care for the story at all. The one positive thing I will say is that it was one of the better movies to watch with surround sound.durdencommatyler wrote:Orpheus wrote:Dredd was surprisingly good. Great cast, some very well done scenes (particularly the "slo-mo" shots), and had a cool feel, just like a comic book. If you want a popcorn movie that isn't totally stupid, check it out.![]()
Thanks for the tip. I saw that it's on Netflix Streaming and I was debating whether or not it was worth my time.

After I finished this I watched The Raid again. Similar story with some great action/fight sequences.
