My wife made me leave the room so she can enjoy it in peace.
Stand By Me is an excellent movie!

Montage of Heck. Interesting, but overly long.

-Things to Come (1936) :thumbsup: (SPECTACULAR visual effects. I have no idea how they created some of these images. This is kind of the ultimate science fiction movie.)
-Dollman vs. Demonic Toys (1993) :thumbsdown:
-Demonic Toys (1992) :thumbsup: (There's a very real chance this is David Goyer's best script.)
-The Replacement Killers (1998) :wave:
-A Most Violent Year (2014) :thumbsdown: (J.C. Chandor seems to pride himself on blandness. Painfully lacking insight into its characters, visually hideous, and there is A LOT of stupid shit in this that falls apart if a small amount of thought is applied to it.)
-Dracula Untold (2014) :thumbsup: :thumbsup: (Best historical epic since 300. Blew me away. Wonderful surprise.)
-Nights of Cabiria (1957) :thumbsup:
-Tomorrowland (2015) :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: (Damon Lindelof needs to stop being involved with movies.)
-Tyson (2009) :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-Whiplash (2014) :wave:

pacific rim - can't say enough about the visuals, the robots and aliens looked phenomenal

the two faces of january - i hadn't heard of this but, saw it starred oscar isaac and viggo mortensen...decent film with solid performances, had an old-school feel to it

So do I but he is totally wasted in that movie. Chandor seems to push every actor in the film into very "actorly" performances, which is incredibly annoying.

This is something I worried about with the first clip I saw. The performances weren't natural at all. I was hoping it was a choice and that there was a point to it.

I watched Furious 7 this weekend. It was ok. It was too long and the dialogue was like something out of a crappy video game, but the action was pretty good. I don't think I'll be watching any of the others.
