Guested Account Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I've seen Olympus Has Fallen. I thought it was alright. I haven't see WHD. It just hit the $1.25 theater today. Pacific Rim also started at the $1.25 theater today. I would go see that before I see White House Down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Account Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 On the Bridge at the border when Ness and Malone were shooting at the oncoming car, there was a person wearing a gray coat running away behind them. Who was that? A film crew? Poor editing? I want to say it's one of the two bad guys they chased down afterward but it's not: Malone chased down the ledger carrying bad guy and Ness chased down the other bad guy who took refuge in the cabin. Both of those people were wearing light colored coats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Account Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 World War Z (2013) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816711/ Another Zombie/Apocalypse/Virus Pandemic/The World Is Going To End movie... ...Is Hollywood trying to tell us something? Anyway, I had good expectations for this film when I first saw the trailer and once again, this is another film that had a better trailer than the actual movie itself. There are just so many plot holes, stupid plot devices, continuity issues that even suspending disbelief because you are supposed to do that when you watch a movie won't even help. Waste of Brad Pitt and Marc Forster and also, the CGI and SFX could had used a bit more work and post production cleaning. Now there is a talk of a sequel... REALLY? SERIOUSLY? WHY? WHY? WHY? 2/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Account Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Gravity is only 90 min? Figure in credits and it will be about 80 min. I am not paying $12-$16 to see it in 3D or on IMAX! Heck, it's not even worth to see the very first show of the day for $6 in just plain digital NON 3D, NON IMAX if you can get there to make the very first show at Cinemark theatres here. Every show in plain digital NON 3D, NON IMAX after the very first show until 6 pm is $8 and it goes up to $10. What a rip off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon_Knight69 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Pacific Rim was epic!!! As for World War Z <- that movie is neck in neck in zombie movie Resident Evil to me, I really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Account Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 White House Down (2013) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2334879/ UGH! What a bad movie! I thought Olympus Has Fallen was bad! This one is even worse! Who writes these junk movies? I gave Olympus Has Fallen 3 out of 5 stars, 1 star above A Good Day To Die Hard. I am giving White House Down 2.25 out of 5 stars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Account Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 The Lone Ranger (2013) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1210819 In the glut of over-hyped big budget Summer movies disappointments like Pacific Rim, Iron Man 3, Man Of Steel, Star Trek Into Darkness, World War Z, White House Down, Elysium, Fast and the Furious 6 and repetitive full length animations; Gore Verbinski's The Lone Ranger is a breath of fresh air. This is a fun, inventive film containing panoramic cinematography of beautiful American landscape now forgotten and unexplored again; with exciting action sequences accompanied by a rousing Hans Zimmer score and a surprisingly great performance from Johnny Depp as Tonto the Comanche Native American Indian. Depp, who by the way is one of my least favorite actors, plays his role with so much zest and so much conviction, this is the only time I'll say he deserves an Oscar Nomination for Best Supporting Actor. So if you are tired of the same giants robots/sea monsters/banale space travel/terrorists/zombies/Apocalyptic sci-fi/fast cars/comic books screen adaptations Summer films repetitive rehash, give The Lone Ranger a second look. You definitely won't be disappointed!! 4.5/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Account Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Kick-Ass 2 (2013) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1650554/ The first one was fun and cute and fresh. Not only is this sequel a big mess, it has also lost the novelty of the original movie. Furthermore, Chloe is a teenager now. It just not the same having Hit Girl being older. Watching her kick ass when she was a little girls was cute. Watching her kick ass now as a teenager is the same as watching a High School movie like Mean Girls. Considering the Mean Girls subplot that was inserted into the storyline of this sequel, this could had been Mean Girls 3 (there was a made for TV Mean Girls 2 sequel). Remember the first scene of Mindy and Nic together in the first movie when Nic shot her? That scene really took me by surprise and it was a definitely a BIG "WTF?" moment! Now you have the same scene with Mindy and Dave and you knew what was coming this time. It wasn't fun anymore when she shot him. I hope they don't plan a sequel. 2.5/5 Edited October 20, 2013 by J7Dadda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guested Account Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Man of Steel (2013)http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0770828/Thank You Christopher Nolan!First you ruined the Batman franchise. Now you have also ruined the Superman franchise. Is this an new unwritten rule in Hollywood that's set in stone? Whenever they need someone to write a screenplay for a Comic to movie adaptation, you must have a hand and a say in it? You are a hack, Nolan! Very disappointed in this movie! Furthermore, Lois Lane is not supposed to know Clark Kent is Superman. Damn you Nolan. You took 75 years of Superman history and you changed it! Siegel and Shuster are rolling in their graves!!1/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard he had gone into where I worked but sadly I was off that day. . But it seems like a lot of big movies are being filmed here where I live.

Whose idea was to pick the director of The Ugly Truth, Legally Blonde and Killers (Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl) to do a high tech corporate espionage film? 1/5 2 Guns (2013) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1272878/ What a waste of talent: Wahlberg, Washington, Paxton, Ward, Olmos, Patton, Marsden, Burke!

So much more than the first one. But I just didn't like the ending. I was just starting to immerse myself into it without having to pay too much attention to the dialogue.

Guested Account Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Rush (2013) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1979320/ Here's another movie that was snubbed by this year's Academy Awards nominations. I've seen Dallas Buyers Club and 12 Years A Slave and Captain Philips and The Wolf Of Wall Street and Gravity and American Hustle, 6 of the 10 Best Picture nominees of this year. None of them moved me. None of them made me shed any tears. Not only did "Rush" moved me: I had a few tears streaming down during several of the scenes. So why is this movie overlooked by the Academy? No Best Picture. No Best Director. No Best Actor. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! Ron Howard is showing why he is getting better and better as a director whenever he directs a dramatic movie. He is in the same league as Clint Eastwood now as director. I give this film a 5/5, not only it's a perfect score, I am also rating it .25 higher than my previous rating for 12 Years A Slave and 1.25 higher than my previous ratings for Dallas Buyers Club and The Wolf Of Wall Street. "Inside Llewyn Davis" is another much better film than any of this year's Best Picture nominations and yet the Academy totally passed it by. I think the Academy succumbed once again to Political Correctness and Special Interest. They picked a movie for Best Picture because they didn't want to offend the Gay and Lesbian community and they picked another movie for Best Picture because they didn't want to be accused of Racial Discrimination. Then they picked Gravity for Best Picture because it was commercially popular. Edited January 25, 2014 by J7Dadda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guested Account Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Just rewatched Forrest Gump for the 100th times. After almost 20 years, Forrest Gump is still the most moving and saddest movie I'd ever seen in my entire life. It's also #1 on my personal Top 10 Best movies list. Why is Forrest Gump such a great film?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
