My wife made me leave the room so she can enjoy it in peace.

Stand By Me is an excellent movie!

Terminator

Montage of Heck. Interesting, but overly long.

Last 10:

-Things to Come (1936) (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)
-Demonic Toys (1992) (There's a very real chance this is David Goyer's best script.)
-The Replacement Killers (1998)
-A Most Violent Year (2014) (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) (Best historical epic since 300. Blew me away. Wonderful surprise.)
-Nights of Cabiria (1957)
-Tomorrowland (2015) (Damon Lindelof needs to stop being involved with movies.)
-Tyson (2009)
-Whiplash (2014)

I'm glad you liked Dracula Untold. I enjoyed that movie a lot.

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 just wish the rest of the movie were that spectacular

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.

Yes. And rumors are he is going to be in the sequel in a larger capacity.

He's pretty hilarious in it too.
