Just watched the vacation movie. It was no masterpiece but was better than I was expecting and well worth the time it took to watch it.

Watching Last Witch Hunter and I'm trying to put my finger on why it's not clicking in my head. It's got a cool concept great visuals and some big names in cast. Only thing I can think of that maybe throwing it off is its coming across as to YA in what I'm taking as an adult movie? It's weird feeling. Reminds me of City of Bones, Vampire Academy, etc. Is this an orig or based off a bk? If it is is the bk YA or normal fantasy?

For me it went too full horror for a lot of it...where fantasy horror should have been. So you'll get like 20 minutes that seem like an Urban Fantasy film....and then the next 20 flip to pure horror in style and tendencies...and back and forth. It tried to live in both genres and failed.

Watched Dr Strangelove.
Ok, don't really get the hype.

Lucy. Just a bad film

The Do over. Just a bad film

I forget, I watched another film yesterday

Went to a movie night yesterday. Somebody had gotten a hold of a (what I assume must be an illegal) copy of Jason Bourne. Maybe it was just because of the company I watched it in, but that film seemed really unnecessary.

Matt Damon just looked tired during the whole film. The plot and the structure was just a rehash of the last 3 films and the story didn't really go anywhere. At the end of the film I felt like besides learning something new about Bourne's past, there was nothing gained for any party in the film.

I wish they'd just let Bourne be and continued with the Jeremy Renner character instead.

[worry]

How are they gonna believably meet and fall in love if you don't build up both sides of the story? It'd seem too random.

[Aptorian]

I believe the Bourne method is to bribe the woman with tens of thousands of euroes and ask them to drive across Europe.

Sicario. Not a bad film, didn't know anything about it going in, didn't go in the direction I thought it was going to. Good performance from blunt and del toro

Lucy is one of the most offensively dumb movies I have ever seen.

[Aptorian]

Lucy is an awesome sci-fi what if film.

It's the "Armageddon" to Limitless' "Deep Impact".

[Macros]

Apt once again your taste in movies......
Just. What???

[Aptorian]

Come on, it's a Luc Besson film starring Scarlett Johanson in which a girl turns into a god-like transhuman. It's dumb and fun. I'm not sure what there isn't to like about that film.

[Macros]

It's just dumb. There was no fun

[Aptorian]

It's a human being ascending. Why not just enjoy the journey.

A being of pure biological computational power that cuts a swath across the world as she effortlessly achieves every goal she sets forth to achieve. Terminator like reflexes and complete understanding and recollection of all knowledge and all of space and time. It's like watching an Isaac Asimov short story through the eyes of Luc Besson.

What's not to like? Cars crash, people get shot, supernatural bullshit happens, people say crazy things and the hot girl kicks everybody's ass.

It's a film for the entire family to enjoy.

Saw Nice Guys last nihgt. It was really good I thought. The main leads both do excellent roles, and the kid is surprisingly good too.

[QuickTidal]

I still want to see LUCY. I like Besson's body of work, and I'm okay with ridiculous plots and such.

As for me, I recently watched ADMISSION....which though it starred Tina Fey and Paul Rudd (both of whom I like) was perfectly blah. Nothing at all memorable about it in the slightest. Kind of a waste of 2hrs.

[polishgenius]

I enjoyed Lucy okay, but it definitely didn't do as much with the premise as it might have. It's no Akira.

Watched spy again. Extended DVD edition.
Still a very funny movie. Statham is just brilliant

Statham was great, but I was surprised by just how hilarious McCarthy was in that film.

[Macros]

I don't mind McCarthy, she's funny at time and not funny at times (in her other films) I think the only problem I had with her in Spy was such a rapid flip to confident bitch.
She was funny, and so is Rise Byrne but for me Statham just steals the show.
'where'd you get the suit?'
'I fucking made it didn't I?'
