I thought this might be a fun ongoing thread. You get to see what others are watching and may find a new movie for your collection. New, old, color, B&W, foreign, concert or whatever...its all good.
I'll start with an excellent animated flick with rich detail and a good soundtrack: Tim Burton's Nine
Saw the latest Hobbit the other day at the theater. Sounds/atmosphere were phenomenal! It was a long time since i had seen a recent movie that was worth it.
Watched Lucy yesterday, was a little disappointed. The movie seemed like it was made in a hurry,rushing to a somewhat predictable ending. Could of been a good movie with some plot expansion and a little less gangster involvement. Then tried to watch Tammy, could not even finish this movie. Not very good at all. When you watch as many movies as I do, not every movie night selection will be a winner.
I am having a good XMAS break. Got to see 2 more movies #1 The Equalizer. I thought this movie was very entertaining. I would give it a 7 out of 10. Also watched Neighbors ,not as good as I had hoped , but had a few laughs. :heehee:
I watched a clip of the Eminem interview and thought that was funny. I've been hesitant as it seems the reviews have been mostly negative. I'll be watching this one at some point purely out of principle if nothing else!
Watched : The Interview. Mostly out of principle. In all honesty, if a nation is worried about this movie then they must be pretty fragile. IMO it was a stupid movie, a one time watch if that. But then again I don't find this type of comedy that funny (harsh language and high level of sexual insinuations).
The wife and I watched Wild tonight at the theater. It was a great movie and truly amazing story. Highly recommended and I'll be adding it to the collection when it's released on Blu-Ray.
Finally watched ninja turtles.
Holy schnikies, what a crazy track. As I expected, there was an exaggerated low end profile. What I didn't expect was all the "flavors" of LFE. Excellent. The thing that surprised me the most was the level at which this was mastered. -20 MV is where we watched this at, and I had to take out my SPL meter cause it seemed a lot hotter than I thought it should have. At -20, I had many peaks in the mid 90's, but what surprised me more was I hit 107db at the LP in a certain scene on a mountain(no spoiler). I wished I had a system capable of full bandwidth (at least single hz) at reference. This would be insane. I was wondering too, about the influence of the atmos track. None to my knowledge, but overall this was a good 'n
Just saw Tusk directed by Kevin Smith. This was indeed an odd film but intriguing at the same time.
Also saw Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Excellent all the way from start to finish.
We watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes last night and enjoyed it very much. Both the story and the audiovisual presentation were top notch IMO. Looking forward to the next installment and hoping it won't be over three years this time!
I've been in total ape nerd mode for about a month. I watched tons of "extras", and went nerd. It really makes me want to be part of the process of making a film. Very well done, and inspiring in a surprising way. Next one looks like 2016.
Watched 13 Sins and thought it was ok. Nothing spectacular and very similar to Saw without the quality of acting. While watching the previews I was intrigued by Blue Ruin. Has anyone watched it? Reviews seem very positive on it.
haven't seen either, but the Saw series had me goin back every Halloween. I love the packaging (it's mostly transparent with some minimal graphics). SO many crazy scenes, but for some reason the first thing in my mind when someone says Saw, is falling into the pit full of syringes!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh......
Agreed. When I first got into them, I didn't think there'd be much longevity. It's like a shorter more intense season of criminal minds, or csi.
