As Above So Below- Was good up until the end. The claustrophobia was real 7/10

I really liked that movie. It was so unique and very interesting. I also loved how they actually filmed under the city in Paris.

"What if" - I really enjoyed it, is a nice story to watch with friends or by yourself at netflix in home with microwave popcorn, as I did.

 

 

 

Just watch it. Amazing action movie. Keanu is amazing in it.

 

Just watched this. I agree, amazing action movie. 

 

 

Very entertaining. Throw back to the '80s style action movie. Great score too.

Dumb Too- hated it. And I LOVE the first Dumb and Dumber movie. 3/10.

It really was!

"Birdman"

 

Dragged a little here and there but a whole bunch

of fine performances in a very different movie.

 

(Took forever to show locally and there were few others in the theater.)

I watched Mockingjay Part 1 yesterday and thought it was decent, but not anything special. The first movie of the trilogy literally had me falling asleep in the theatre, and I never saw the second but I wanted to see how Natalie Dormer did in an 'action' role. Jennifer Lawrence's voice is annoying as hell, and her face was weirdly puffy through the whole film? But she did get me to tear up a little, so can't fault her performance. 

American Sniper. I must say, although I can understand people reading it that way, I found it to be more than just a straight-up propaganda piece. I thought there was some room for ambiguity there, and that it allowed the viewer to make their own mind up about the man. As a coherent piece of drama however, it was incredibly boring, disconnected and sketchy. There’s probably a fascinating film to be made about Chris Kyle, but for whatever reason Clint was unwilling or unable to make it. Think of it as ‘Dirty Harry’ without any of the fun and you’ll be on the right lines.

Whiplash was a wonderful intense dramatic film. J.K. Simmons deserves his Oscar. He was incredible. Miles Teller seriously look out for this guy. He's so talented. Great film. The music was wonderful.

John Wick ... kInda meh, but entertaining as Shep' said !

Lets be Cops- Pretty funny, didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did. Worth a see for a few laughs. 6.5/10

"The Three Stooges"

Big fan of slapstick so five stars on this one.

 

As a bonus, Kate Upton in a small part.

The Matrix-FINALLY SEEN THIS MOVIE IN ITS ENTIRETY BEGINNING TO END. AND YES. IT WAS AMAZING 8.5/10  

^ That is one of my favourites. Don't know if you'll want to watch the other 2 sequels though.

 

Speaking of Keanu I watched Henry's Crime on Netflix it is a independent movie but was pretty good for some laughs and had a unique storyline. Id say 6/10.

It's been years since I last saw the first Matrix all the way through. I'd be interested to watch it again, just to see how well it stands up today. No plans to watch the others anytime soon though, the thrill of the original was always in its set pieces and aside from one or two sequences (Reloaded at least had the cool demon twins and the brilliant highway chase scene going for it), the sequels forgot that.

Watched Birdman and while I enjoyed the movie the was a "plot hole" at the end of the movie that bothered me so much. 

Hospitals very very rarely have windows, and they definitely don't have screenless windows large enough for a person, and they're certainly not going to put a man who just attempted suicide in a room with such a window.

I've heard from quite a few different people the sequels weren't as good. Though I've also heard that the Matrix Reloaded was really good. I still want to watch regardless because the first left you wanting more  

I've taken a very long hiatus- over a year - from watching films. 

 

I did not watch "American sniper" back to back, but just skipped the man's personal life (simply didn't interest me and didn't have time) and watched the combat scenes of "American Sniper".  Urban warfare is an interest of mine, and these scenes of deployment in irregular warfare and military discussion were well-advised by professionals and as technically accurate as a movie can reasonably portray.  Overall, worth seeing just for that and there is no other movie that has done it better to my knowledge (hurt locker was done poorly in this area).   The depiction of their techniques is interesting.  I also liked how they showed how difficult it was to operate in urban hostile areas and not to endanger lives of civilians and how dirty & fruitless many of the jobs were in that war.  Of further interest is some depiction of civilians who actively tried to defend their way of life against the USA- a dimension of conflict that is not often explored. 

 

Of further value is the positive reception this film had with US veterans- the scenes are definitely 'hoo-rah' and display the more effective elements of the US military and probably overstate the 'general' combat effectiveness- the insurgents tended to be more elusive than portrayed, more prone to boobytrap, and loathed to expose themselves just to slaughtered. The political character of the film comes across as conservative like 'Black Hawk Down'.   This is not an anti-war, existential trama film.

 

Some negatives, however, are minor and  I thought it was in bad taste to create a sniper 'boogeyman' and splice the man's personal life the way that they did.  The man's personal life looks like a drama largely revolving around his annoying wife (Sienna Miller) and veteran's issues.

 

 

I saw Blade Runner again.  I watch this movie about once every three or four years, and interpret it in a different way.  Needless to say, it's a great movie, thought provoking and just very rich.  It's a work of art.

Interstellar, right now ...

... WHAT A GREAT MOVIE ! I dreamed since i was kid to see a movie like this one ! The themes, the musics etc ... +++++++

^ One of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

I liked the sequels. But the first movie is the best of the three by far. The sequels are good, but from my point of view they lack that mind-blowing element the original had.
