Definitely watch American Beauty whenever you get the chance! It's one of my favorites of all time, and everything about the film is brilliant. If you like powerful yet simple stories and great performances, look no further.

Thanks for the kind words, also. I see that your a big Nolan fan judging from your list haha. Good to see Inception at #1 there!

I loved The Amazing Spider-Man 2! I agree that it is vastly underappreciated. I was blown away when I first saw it. And blown away again when I saw it for the second time. Dane DeHaan is one of my favorite actors so I really enjoyed seeing him as Harry Osborne. Speaking of vastly underappreciated movies, I see that Lassie is your #2! Lassie is a great movie.

This is at least what I think but I think you would really enjoy more when your older because at that time you know you start to appreciate films more but still I watched it when I was younger and loved it so much so I think it wouldn't really matter what age your at but I think adults can appreciate it more.

Hey, no worries, Wade.

Nope, not a film major. I live in a small town in Australia, where there's not much to do. Usually it's very wet (raining right now), so I watch movies. However, I do have quite a passion for them. I assume I'm older than you, that's how I've seen so many. :)

Shoot 'Em Up isn't for everybody. A lot of over-the-top action that suits my taste perfectly. :)

The Matrix was pretty good! Excellent action scenes and a very interesting concept that makes a lot of overdone tropes feel fresh and original. I don't plan on watching Reloaded and Revolutions, as I've heard they do not live up to any kind of hype. Have you seen them?

Speaking of making a lot of overdone tropes feel fresh and original, what did you think of The Lego Movie? :)

A Hard Days Night is in my Top 10,but I could probably put it in my Top 5,I love it so much.Not only is it really funny and entertaining,the visual style of the movie is full of so much energy that you can't help but having a great time watching it.I also think that the film is a social commentary on the changing times of the 60's.Plus The Beatles are the greatest band ever,so the music is great.Man I love that movie.

I think Monty Python is hilarious. I watched it a few months ago and loved it. I hope you enjoy it!

I was hoping to see The Fault in Our Stars before it left theaters as it is one of my favorite books, but that didn't happen. I'm also looking forward to Guardians of the Galaxy, although I am getting a bit sick of seeing a trailer for that movie at every movie I go to. And I'm looking forward to the release of Mockingjay: Part 1 in November.

True Romance? Eh...it's OK.Tarantino wrote it,so the screenplay is quite good,but he didn't direct it so it's not anywhere near as well directed as I felt Reservoir Dogs was.There are a few moments of brilliance,but overall it's nothing special.

Well to sum up the movie, I think every scene is from a filmmaking perspective absolutely fantastic. Acting is great and has a very nice scorsese pace. And at first I hated the ending, but actually understood it later, which made it better and interresting.

Area_hulk on 8/31/2014 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Im glad you like ASM 2 but I really disliked it. What I did like was the beginning (not the annoying prologue) where spiderman is heroing around. Basically everytime spidey was on the screen was very enjoyable. Unfortunately that didn't happen that often instead showing Peter parker in a boring plot. Andrew garfield was great but I didn't quite believe as a teenager this time.
The villians were awful. Omg rhino was lame and so childish. Electro was better but also felt one dimensional. A really lame excuse to become mad at spidey. They felt like the very typical one dimensional villians back in the very old days of comic books. Im sorry but goblins actor was the worst. Everytime he opened his mouth i wanted to hit him in the face
dialogue was pretty bad and chessy, unstabile tone, and some logic fails with the plot. Relationship between Peter and gwen was good, though brought down as said with the dialogue. Gwen death was handled well and the best thing about the movie
but om glad you liked it. It would be boring if we all had the same taste

I see. Well I will definitely have to check out the new TMNT movie when it comes out. I did enjoy the 90's TMNT.

I love film scores! I will definitely have to give that a listen. One more thing about the movie Sinister: the music was really good. A bit repetitive, but definitely not in a bad way. It suited the movie very well.

What would you say your favorite score is at this time?

cbinnings on 9/10/2014 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

I think if I were to do a top 10 for each, in no particular order, I'd go with...

Actors: Sam Rockwell, Bill Hader, Tom Hanks, Steve Carell, Ben Stiller, Bryan Cranston, Christopher Walken, Simon Pegg, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Steve Buscemi.

Actresses: Anne Hathaway, Amy Adams, Tina Fey, Sigourney Weaver, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, Rooney Mara, Kristen Bell, Julianne Moore, and Scarlett Johansson.

Kind of like you were saying, those are just some of the people I think are generally delivering either with impressive versatility, or are consistently great at one thing. I also seem to prefer more modern actors, and especially comedic actors who can add a sense of drama/realism to their performances, because I think that it has a tendency to be more impactful that way than from more dramatic actors (though not always).

dara_22 on 9/11/2014 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 score is probably my personal favorite at the moment. It's one of the only scores where I like every single song, not just select moments or themes. In addition to that I appreciate how much it improved upon the first film's score. I also love the scores for Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, and Her. Those would probably be my favorites. Hans is the best, as you can see by my profile picture of him just lounging.

The Grand Budapest Hotel was a really good movie, at least in my opinion. It was really quirky and the dialogue was very entertaining. I need to watch it one more time to fully grasp the story but it's one that I can't wait to see again!

I love both of them, obviously, since they're both in my top 5, but I think I rank The Green Mile a little higher because of the acting. Not to say the acting in Shawshank isn't as good, but I like the cast overall a little better than Shawshank.

I haven't seen any of the movies that you mentioned! I haven't had much time to watch movies. I plan on watching Fight Club soon, one that I own and haven't seen yet.

Any new releases that you're anticipating? I myself am looking forward to Mockingjay Part 1, Interstellar, and The Maze Runner at the moment. I also wanted to see The Giver but haven't had the chance yet.

Also, if you haven't read The Maze Runner series I highly recommend it :)

First rule of fight club: don't talk about fight club. I guess I forgot about that.

I'd like to see Gone Girl and Birdman as well. I had forgotten about those.

Yes it was actually Mr. Dubae who got me interested in The Maze Runner series! I remember a comment that he made about it being supreme or something like that. But I really do recommend the series!

It's always a pleasant surprise when you rewatch something and it's better the second time. That's sort of how I was with Frozen last year too. The first time I thought it was just alright, but when I saw it again, I enjoyed it more (although I don't think it deserves a lot of the hype it gets). The worst though is when you rewatch something and it's not as good as you thought the first time haha

Okay, let's take TWBB! Let's start off with something simple to learn where we stand on other things. How do you think Daniel felt about his son H.W. over the course of the film? Do you think he ever truly loved him, or that he gradually lost interest in him after the accident that deafened him?

How is Rebel Without a Cause? That's one I've wanted to see for a while but have never got the chance.

TheHonestFilmFan on 9/17/2014 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Okay, here're my thoughts. The film as a whole is Daniel's search for a family. Thus the title "There Will Be Blood" representing the blood line of the Plainview family, rather than any violent acts. He did really love his son, because he planned to carry on the blood line. When he went deaf, his chances of carrying on the family business decrease substantially, so he loses interest in him. And when H.W. becomes his competitor, he is officially dead to Daniel. This desire for family also explains how closely he bonds with the man pretending to be his brother, and how offended he is to find out he is a fraud. Thoughts on this?

How was Rebel Without A Cause?

Daniel could have such a strong desire for a family because his father had an affair, and thusly he never had a healthy "normal" family.

Another important thing to note is the final scene. Daniel doesn't resort to violence towards Eli until he says "Daniel, we're brothers." I think it's important to note that the only two people Daniel murders during the run time both falsely claim to be his brother.

Yeah,Flags of Our Fathers is really good.The story was really great and the characters were as well.The biggest problem I have with it is that for some reason,they decided to start telling the story diffently in the third act.I would recommend it,but I would recommend its companion piece,Letters from Iwo Jima way more.Its way more emotional,and actually manages to make you root for the Japanese.

I love Eastwood as a Director.He's probably the best story-teller in Hollywood.Have you seen any of his films and what do you think of him?

I haven't listened to Buddy Holly,and the only Roy Orbison I've heard are his big hits like Pretty Woman,and his stuff he did with The Traveling Wilbury's.Where should I start if I want to get into those two?

regarding boyhood:
Taken from my comment on TheHonestFilmFan's page.

This movie was so wonderful in my opinion. First and foremost because it really has a good narrative. It followed you through the story hand in hand, which seemed like a wonderful adventure. I was really invested in the several characters. Think mom and dad were really interesting and loved their development from start to finish. Even the small characters was a lot interesting too. You could refelct on mason's life when he was still a kid. Also like especially the themes. Such what roles we play in life and finding our identity. And then of course the best theme of time. Time, and our interaction with time, and the way in which we all eventually become overwhelmed by it

Also have something negative. My biggest problem is ending was so dragged out.

There are lot of other good stuff in the movie - and some minor negative ones - but those I mentioned were clearly the best/worst.

I'm a big fan of the MCU films.Most of them are pretty generic and predictable,but I can forgive that because I'm finally seeing these characters on the big-screen.

I really liked The Winter Soldier.It felt like Marvel actually put a lot of effort in it to make it a great film,and I really liked how it had some-what of a commentary on American politics,something I never would have expected from a film like this.My favorite is still The Avengers though,it just satisfied my inner-geek's every need :D

Yeah I think Inside Out could be very cool.

I have read the Pixar theory, as well as the theory about Andy's parents in the Toy Story franchise from the same guy, and don't really care for them. They're interesting theories, but they tend to gloss over moments in the movies that don't quite gel with the theory or make pretty major assumptions in logic. I think my biggest problem is how people say these theories "prove" that everything's connected and that it "will blow your mind" when there is nothing to prove or disprove either theory. What are your thoughts on the Pixar theory? Or the one on Andy's parents, if you've read that one too?

I completely agree. I think Pixar even came out and said the reason Andy's dad isn't present is because it was hard to animate real humans and he wasn't important enough to the story to warrant his being there. Interesting theories, but I wish people would take things at face value sometimes haha

Well, since the extended versions of The Lord of the Rings-trilogy comes in at about 12hrs in length, I find it difficult to watch those often. You need to plan it days ahead if you're gonna watch them.
And I don't really rewatch my other favorite films that often either. I usually just watch movies that I haven't seen yet to expand my Flickchart list. However if I find an urge to rewatch certain film, then I will rewatch it.
Thinking about rewatching GoodFellas, Inception and

Thank you for your reply to my earlier question(s) about your favorite film and your top ten. I asked this question to various people because I've battled with replacing my #1 film for over a year now. I saw Casablanca for the first time in 1999 I think. It left a profound impression on me. It soon became my favorite film as I would routinely revisit it. So, for roughly 15 years, Casablanca has been my favorite film. I've had some really good times with it as well. I first saw it when I was in the military. I just relate to so much of the film. Oddly enough, I relate to both Victor Laszlo AND Rick Blaine!! Victor for the military lifestyle that requires you to be away from the love of your life, and Rick for the duality of choosing between someone you love and doing the right thing. So many themes strike all the right chords with me.

Fast-forward the time to 2013. I saw Vertigo for the first time ever. It blew me away more than any film I had ever seen. Everything about it was brilliant. And the more I watched it, I began to develop an obsession for it. I've never watched a film so many times in such a short span. I watched Vertigo more than ten times in a month. It just drew me in. I wanted to put it as my #1 film, but I didn't want to make a decision based on a knee-jerk reaction. So, I gave it time to see if my affinity for it would lessen. I even forced myself to stop watching it so much. Well, a few weeks ago, I showed it to some friends and family. I discovered that my affection for this film hadn't changed a bit. So now comes the hard part. I almost feel like I'm cheating on Casablanca if I put Vertigo #1. To answer my own question, I'm very loyal to my favorite film of all time. But I think the time has come for me to be true to my chart and put Vertigo at #1.

I've seen Casablanca recently and I still love it as much as I did when I first watched it. But I think I enjoy Vertigo from start to finish a little more than I love Casablanca from start to finish.

I know I'm probably taking this way too serious, but watching movies is one of my favorite pass times. What do you think? Have you ever had this dilemma?

Both of them were great though I preferred Rear Window. Rear Window was just more my kind of film. It was like 12 Angry Men blended with a murder mystery. The dialogue was fantastic and it really surprised me how good the dialogue was! North By Northwest was fantastic aswell, though it didn't have that effect that Rear Window had on me. I think these two are the best Hitchcock films (even though I haven't seen The Birds, Strangers on a Train or Dial M for Murder yet). I think Vertigo is the weakest of the four Hitchcock films I've seen...

Yeah Birdman was a powerhouse in every way: acting, cinematography, score, etc.

I had also heard good things about Snowpiercer, so when it came on Netflix a few weeks ago I figured I'd check it out and see what was so great. I think what impressed me the most was how simple it was, while also being complex, if that makes sense. It grabbed me early on and didn't let go. It's tough to explain though without giving anything away, because, like Interstellar, I think it would probably be more fun if you had no idea what fun twists and turns were coming.

As for Django,I'm not really sure what I thought of it.It didn't really seem like the story went from A to B and flowed really smooth.I thought it felt like there was about 90 minutes of actual story and a lot of filler.But that filler was pretty dope.That shootout...damn.

I don't think you seeing Interstellar first matters. I saw John Wick the day before, and I still liked Interstallar much better. I think the trailer is deceiving to how much action would be in the film. They also showed all the good parts, which really annoys me.

Loved Interstellar, but I found it flawed. Predictable at times (Mann, the ghost) imagery reminiscent of Inception (when I had imagined a grander scale), and odd speeches about love. The very ending really annoyed me too. The choice not to ask about a character (know what I mean?), really annoyed me! I also found Casey Affleck to be completwy wasted in his role.

I loved McConaughey, the visuals, the interesting concepts, and that damn docking station scene! One of my favourite scenes of the year. I also didn't mind the robot, despite it being jarring initially.

It wasn't that it was boring or anything,but I was really tired when I got to the theater and when they were talking about all the complicated space stuff,I just zonked out.

So most of the time I had no idea what was going on,and I kinda quite paying attention since I knew it was a very carefully constructed film that demanded my attention.

I think I got most of it though,the score was flippin' awesome and I thought that one part towards the end was pretty mind-blowing.I'm going to agree with most people and say I wish it would've ended 10 minutes sooner,but I still enjoyed it as a whole,and I'm sure any problems I had with it can be solved by rewatching it and ACTUALLY STAYING AWAKE!!!! :D

What were your thoughts on the ending? Don't be afraid to go into spoiler territory either.

saddler16 on 11/22/2014 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Yeah,I completely agree with you.The ending didn't give me that emotional punch that I needed,but I did get it about 10 minutes before,another reason I wish they would have cut out that ending!

***Interstellar Spoilers***
There was something interesting I read afterwards about the end though.Doesn't someone say something like "the last thing you see before you die is your children" or something to that effect? It could be that Cooper did die in space,and the actual,real ending is Anne Hathaway's character starting the new human race on the planet she landed on.Or maybe I've just seen Inception too many times and can't trust Nolan to give me a real ending! :D
Thoughts on this?

Here's how I'd rank the Nolan films I've seen:

1.Inception
2.The Dark Knight
3.The Prestige
4.Batman Begins
5.The Dark Knight Rises
6.Interstellar

I'm a big fan of all his movies,he might be my favorite working director.The only reason Interstellar is last is because it's the one I've seen least and paid the least attention to,I'm sure it will go way up when I watch it again.And I'm psyched to see Memento,I gotta do that soon.

It's been a while since we talked about The Shiningf,but do you plan on seeing any more Kubrick films?

saddler16 on 11/25/2014 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

I've seen seven Kubrick films.Here's how I'd rank them:

1.2001
2.Dr. Strangelove
3.Paths of Glory
4.The Killing
5.Full Metal Jacket
6.The Shining
7.Killers Kiss

The top six are excellent films,I would highly recommend all of them,and Killers Kiss...well,it's okay,but Kubrick was still figuring things out while he was making it,and it's not very good.

Anything you plan on seeing soon?

Dr. Strangelove and Citizen Kane are both very good films,I hope you enjoy them when you get a chance to see them.

Elf, Die Hard, The Santa Clause, Christmas Vacation, Love Actually, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang are some of my favorite Christmas movies, although some of them probably barely count. And then I also really like television specials like A Charlie Brown Christmas and some of the Rankin-Bass stop-motion things (Rudolph/Santa Claus Is Coming To Town/etc.). What about you?

Yeah I don't know why people hate on Shutter Island so much. Maybe it's just because it's not "typical" Scorcese in terms of crime, drugs, and stuff? Hugo's the same way.

Foxcatcher has one of the slowest releases I've ever seen. It only just came to a local theater this weekend. Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, and Mark Ruffalo all give really impressive performances, but I didn't care much for the movie as a whole. The story is stretched really thin and it's very slow/heavy.

7. St. Vincent

But you and I would both be kicked out of the Academy very quickly for choosing superhero movies haha speaking of which, even though I personally didn't love it, I don't think The Amazing Spider-Man 2 deserves most of the hate it gets. Is there a reason you like it so much though?

Yeah the mess at Sony could drastically affect the chances of another Spider-Man movie.

A role in a movie? Hmm....that's a tough question to answer........Ok, to quote Henry Hill (played by Ray Liotta); "For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster" (in a movie) :-P

No, but I don't really know. Haven't really thought about it that much. But a gangster would be cool. Or you know, the obvious choices like Batman and James Bond etc.
And me being kinda short and all, I could probably pass for a dwarf or a hobbit in Middle-Earth :-P

And you, what would you like to play? And which actors, if you could choose, deserves the acting awards for the four acting categories at the academy awards? Actors who weren't nominated can be chosen too. Personally I would give the awards to;

•Micheal Keaton or Jake Gyllenhaal for best actor in a leading role
•Rosamund Pike for best actress in a leading role (I haven't seen Still Alice yet though)
•J.K Simmons for best actor in a supporting role (this is also the best performance of the year in my opinion - all categories included!)
•Patricia Arquette for best actress in a supporting role

It's been years since I saw it, so I can't think of too much at the moment. But I loved the action and the humour. For many people, the film falls apart when the action ramps up at the end. But I had a huge grin on my face, especially when he used a pig as a weapon. :D

My expectations were low and I was angry because my cinema wasn't showing Drag Me to Hell, which was my first choice. It was a blessing in disguise for me.

If The Revenent stick closely to the true story of Hugh Glass, then it will be unbelievable! Man was hard to stop!

I was very disappoint with Sin City 2. Rouble looked wrong compared to the first film, Brolin was nothing like the original Dwight, Alba was poor, Gordon Levitt's storyline felt pointless and none of the action or lines were memorable. It's already leaving my mind. I waited nine years for this movie. :/

Yeah, I'm extremely excited for Jurassic World! I though the first trailer was...solid. Not bad, not great either. But the superbowl trailer, holy...now that, that looked sweet as hell in my opinion. I know some people are against the idea of having Chris Pratt train the Velociraptors, and that some are opposing the idea of making a new, hybrid dinosaur (the Indominus Rex). All I know is that that sounds awesome in my ears. The Jurassic Park franchise needs something new, something fresh by now, not the old plot recycled (like some people seem to want). I don't want a "Jurassic Park" Jurassic Park movie. I don't want them to try to recapture the magic of the original Jurassic Park movie by basically recycling the plot into a new movie, because that would probably only lead to a disaster. So, hopefully Colin Trevorrow can bring the franchise back from extinction (pardon the bad pun) after the awful third one.

The effects for Jurassic World looks kinda unfinished, yes, but, as you said, they will probably clean that up before release. And the movie does look bright, but I don't really mind that to be honest. About Chris Pratt, I think he will be great in the movie. I thought he crushed it as Star-Lord, and I think he would make a very good fit for Indiana Jones.

I mean, we have heard stuff about "Jurassic Park 4" for such a long time now. I remember like 8-or-something years ago I heard about a new Jurassic Park movie. This was like 5 years before I even took an actual interest in movies. I've been watching Jurassic Park since I was like 5-6, so....yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see what Colin Trevorrow can bring to the franchise.

All the stuff with The Comedian and especially the stuff with Rorschach (he might be one of my favorite movie characters of all-time) impressed the heck out of me, but the Silk Spectre, Ozymandias and Night-Owl aspects of the story came across as really cheesy and corny to me.

I went into Gigli thinking "there's no way it's as bad as everyone says". But, no, it definitely is haha

I thought Top Gun was okay, but not as good as I was expecting/hoping.

How was Still Alice?

Not sure if you were asking about Gigli or Top Gun, so I'll answer for both haha

I think it was the story of Top Gun that didn't quite measure up for me. The characters and the acting and especially the soundtrack were all fun, but the story started to lose my interest toward the end.

Everything about Gigli is hard to watch. The script, the acting, everything is pretty rough. Christopher Walken has a cameo and at least pushes his scene into "so bad, it's good" territory, but overall it's just a real struggle haha

I liked The Ladies Man a lot more than I thought I would. Like pretty much any movie based on a sketch, it's feels a little too stretched out for its own good, but there are plenty of good one-liners from Tim Meadows and Billy Dee Williams (plus Will Ferrell) that still make it an enjoyable watch.

Both of the Raid films were pretty sweet. The first one was just bananas. Solid action from start to finish, and the best action I've ever seen in cinema. The second one kept all the awesome action, but added a lot more depth to the story. Both are gonna get much better when I rewatch em'.

Hmm that's a good question. I can see why it would be the Avengers because they've got such a huge audience in the palms of their hands by making all of their movies connected plus it kicks off the summer season, so there's not as much competition, but I think I agree with you. Star Wars is such a big deal that I think it has to be the highest grossing movie of the year. But, either way, I'll go see both of them. No matter which one grosses more, I think audiences will be the real winners. At least, hopefully.

The casual movie goes is probably waiting for Fast and Furious 7. They probably look at this and think it looks stupid. I see why that would be one reason. Then, the poor reviews wouldn't have helped either. Plus many people were disappointed with Elysium. I think a combination of these factors led to it being a box office failure. I think he needs to do something new now, something of of South Africa. That's why it's interesting he is making a new Alien movie. I will gladly forget Alien 3 and 4 if this is great.

I'm thinkingChappie will be a 3.5/5 or 4/5 movie for me.

Alright, here's my ranking of Scorsese's feature films.

1. The Departed
2. Raging Bull
3. Cape Fear
4. Bringing Out the Dead
5. Taxi Driver
6. The Wolf of Wall Street
7. Goodfellas
8. The King of Comedy
9. The Aviator
10. Casino
11. Gangs of New York
12. New York, New York
13. A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies
14. Mean Streets
15. Hugo
16. The Last Waltz
17. The Color of Money
18. Boxcar Bertha

Out of all of them, the only one I would call bad would be Boxcar Bertha. The rest range from acceptable to masterpieces. Everything from thirteen up is excellent, which is an amazing track record for any director.

How about you? How would you rank Scorsese?

I just loved the scene, so I overlooked the pain she would've had. I also think, hey, it's the future! :D I just can't stand simple solutions, like running sideways. Or!! When people in movies are running from horses, but stay on the road, instead of running in the bloody dense forest!! No film comes to mind, but I know I've seen this many times.

Love Ridley Scott films. Body of Lies was just ok for me and Exodus didn't work at all. But I did enjoy Robin Hood as well.

Many people hated The Counselor, but that worked for me just fine. Not what I wanted it to be, but I accepted it. I love gangster films, so American Gangster is made for me. Kingdom of Heaven was ok, but I need to see the director's cut Blu-ray, which is apparently a masterpiece. Matchstick Men is weird and oddly touching, everybody looked the same to me in Black Hawk Down, Hannibal was beautifully crazy, but was always going to fail in comparison to Silence of the Lambs. Gladiator and Blade Runner are amazing, G.I Jane is a guilty pleasure, Thelma & Louise is ok, not my kind of movie. Legend was great when I saw it, but failed on re-watch and The Duelists bored me greatly.

I haven't seen A Good Year, White Squall, Someone to Watch Over Me and 1492.

Whiplash? It was unbelievable. The most thrilling film experience I've had since I first saw Psycho back in the day.

And the ending, my goodness the ending... When it was over I was completely out of breath, and I wanted to see it again right away! I'd say it has a lot of potential to be a top 10 movie for me.

Yeah I agree it was a complicated role for Sam Rockwell, but I think he pulled it off well.

The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby was initially two separate films about a struggling married couple, one version told entirely from the guy's point of view, and one told from the girl's point of view. I think it premiered at Sundance last year maybe? Anyway, no matter where it premiered, when Harvey Weinstein bought it for distribution rights, he was afraid people wouldn't pay to see two separate movies, so he had both versions cut together, so that it was told from both perspectives.

I watched the combined version first, then her version, then his (fast-forwarding through some of the repeat scenes haha). If you check them out, don't waste your time with the combined version. If you pretend the combined version doesn't exist, the other two are kind of a cool experience. The version from the girl's perspective is probably the best cut overall, although my favorite character is in much more of the guy's perspective. Regardless, I probably wouldn't say any of them are great films, so I'm not sure I'd totally recommend them haha but it is kind of an interesting experiment and experience.

I'm actually not into cricket that much. Takes too long. There's a 20/20 version of the game that's much faster, and is more fun to watch. A casual watcher, like me, enjoys this format of the game. I'm a basketball fan and an AFL fan. You probably haven't heard of AFL. It's Australia's very own style of football, which is nothing like any sport. But if I had to try, it's a combination of NFL, rugby, and soccer. It's an oval ball we play with, an dew have to bounce it every twenty metres. A skill that takes time to get used to.

I think the relationship between the characters of Harris and Neeson make the film. There's some great scenes, but is was very predicable, and reminiscent of so many films that I won't name in case you haven't seen them.

I didn't like Non-Stop as much as you, but I did enjoy it. 3/5 for me. I had fun with it.

Character development is an important aspect in any movie.If you can't develop characters you sure need to have a great story to cover it up.And avengrs really has some poor character development.Hawkeye & black widow in my opinion had lack of back story too.

And about DC comic movies I really love man of steel (it also has the best planet krypton IMO)the dark knight triology is great and i am really waiting for batman v superman :dawn of justice.not a big ben affleck fan but waiting to see him as batman though.:-)

Seinfeld is one of my all-time favorites. I also like Everybody Loves Raymond, The King of Queens, That '70s Show, and The Office.

I have also seen several episodes of Parks and Recreation but could never get into that one either. How did you feel about the series finale?

Better Call Saul is a worthy follow-up to Breaking Bad so far. What a lot of Breaking Bad fans forget is that the first two or three seasons of Breaking Bad were a little slow, because they had to set everything up for the next seasons to be so awesome. So I think that's what's happening with Better Call Saul; it's another slow build so everything can explode at once.

That's a great question. I'm actually studying screenwriting and have written a few scripts so far, so I'd at least start with some of the more original ideas I have, but I'd eventually like to make movies based off the TV shows and video games I've come to love over the years. A lot of my writing is a lot of witty banter, so I'd probably start with comedy, and then later start integrating other genres.

I used to like him (I still like him but not as much as I used to) during his oscar days.Mangolia ; Born on 4th of July and my personal favourite of his Jerry Maguire this all movies are great (rain man was also g00d) .But nowadays he does action flicks mission impossible stuffs and alien esque movie (oblivion war of the world's etc) IMHO he has lost his variety :-):-) not that I hate him nowadays or anything but I want him to make movies award worthy again he he he he

That sounds cool! Yeah, Kingsman did a great job of blending genres and being big and fun.

Yeah I finished my major in screenwriting last year and then got accepted into a one year program at UCLA that's almost over. So hopefully I'll be able to start making a living on writing at some point in the near future haha would you want to work in the film industry?

Yeah I was pretty interested in writing for a long time. I thought I'd also like to direct, but after directing a few videos, I realized it wasn't for me. I'd also be interested in being one of those actors that doesn't really star in anything, but has a lot of supporting character roles.

Cinematography sounds super cool. I've always thought it would be fun to do that, but I've realized I'm not very good at it haha

It's funny that you mention Shea Whigham - I was just looking at his IMDB page the other day! But I agree that a career like his in a variety of movies/genres would be very cool. Another cool thing would be (even though they're usually bigger names with bigger roles), but to find a director and have the two of you like working together so much, you're in all of their movies like Wes Anderson does with his casts or Michael Caine and Christopher Nolan or Samuel L. Jackson and Quentin Tarantino or even John Ratzenberger and all the Pixar movies.

I've seen eleven of his films. For me, Madre is my favourite. I think the performance from Bogart makes the film. Maltese Falcon, which is very good, felt very similar to many other films he has done. I'm also a fan of The Man Who Would be King, Fat City, Prizzi's Honour, Key Largo and Te Afican Queen.

I really like his work. I've seen The Godfather, Streetcar Named Desire and Apocalypse Now. His performance in Streetcar is probably one of my favorites. I wanna see The Wild One and On the Waterfront too.

I saw both trailers. I loved the Star Wars trailer and am getting more and more excited for it. I was not really impressed with the Batman vs. Superman trailer. Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor sounds kind of cool, but overall it didn't get me interested in the movie.

What did you think of them?

How was Jersey Boys?

cbinnings on 4/19/2015 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Yeah I also think JJ Abrams will do amazing things with the new Star Wars.

And I agree that the Batman vs. Superman movie has a lot of hype around it, people either thinking it's going to be the best or worst movie to ever come out. And you're right, they still have a lot of work left to do. I don't mind the new Batman voice, and didn't really mind Ben Affleck being cast in the first place. I think that since I didn't really like Man of Steel, and don't like most of Zack Snyder's work in general, I'm very apprehensive about it.

What did you think about some of your recently added movies (Neighbors, Jersey Boys, Basic Instinct, etc.)?

The trailer made superman villain or more like an anti hero
Not very excited to see Ben affeck in the batman suit
I wanted to see some glimpses of Jesse eisenberg and gal gaddot in the trailer
And the City was just too dark and rainy weather dark atmospheres is not my type actually

But the score was good so was the first voice over
Ans the face off at the end gave me chills actually
6.5/10 from me
A bit negative I know he he

I feel like I've seen a lot of Jimmy Stewart movies, but he had such a long and busy career that it's like a drop in the ocean haha I've seen most of the classics (Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Vertigo, Rear Window, Harvey, It's A Wonderful Life, The Philadelphia Story, and not a classic - American Tail 2). I haven't seen The Spirit of St. Louis, I might have to check that one out.

Have you seen a lot of his films?

About all I've heard from The Four Seasons is Big Girls Don't Cry, but that's about it.

Do you ever listen to Tom Waits?
