philip seymour hoffman died :( great actor, watched the master on sunday to commemorate him.

saw akira and ghost in the shell in a theater on friday, unfortunately they showed gits 2.0 which i disliked a lot(the animation was really ugly to look at imo), akira was beautiful.

new world - korean gangster flick, don't really care for gangster movies, this was pretty good though but i feel like a lot of it has been done before.. 6.5/10

poetry - understated movie with good acting and writing. quite a slow movie... 9.5/10

the master - really liked the movie, gorgeous cinematography, incredibly intriguing plot and some of the best acting. movie is full of symbolism, a lot of people found it confusing or boring, definitely gonna be re-watching this. 9/10

glengarry glen ross - over the top dialogue driven movie with good acting, didn't care for it too much. 6/10

intolerable cruelty - probably the worst coen brother movie i've seen, felt like it could have been over in 30 minutes. 4/10

a prophet(un prophete) - ridiculously good prison drama. if you like gangster movies and don't mind foreign films this is a must watch. 10/10

The African Queen (1951) 10/10

i thought the last Transformers movie a couple years ago was lame, i didnt even finish it.
The best one was still the cartoon from 1989.
Has Michael Bay learned anything besides eye candy? idk.

saw the lego movie and 12 years a slave yesterday...

if you have not seen the lego movie go see it, i dont care who you are or what age you are, its a MUST see. i think everyone who played with lego at some point in their lives could appreciate the pure genius with this movie. it is a tribute to the childhood of a past generation but there also many layers to the movie. seriously the best animated movie since spirited away. 10/10 it will be a classic. i think a lot of children under the age of 10 wont appreciate this movie cause surprisingly enough kids aren't playing with lego, my friends younger brother plays with skylanders.

12 years a slave, i think its well done but it suffers from lack of realism, i just found it hard to believe that the main character could get away with so much. other than that it was really good and had some emotional moments, but i was slightly underwhelmed.. also i will be really shocked if lupita nyong'o doesn't win the oscar, easily the best performance in the movie, michael fassbender was incredible too. 9/10


ummm.. i cant wait honestly, i think it looks amazing. i love the 2001 music

hunger games 3 part 1

ug.

i wish the xmen movies were done better.. and fantastic four. honestly i'm not really excited to see anything on that list, other than MAYBE the hobbit. really though, too much milking with a lot of these movies. inb4 influx of religious movies though. i wonder if that'll be the next trend. for a brief period they were (and I guess still are) doing fairy tale movies. i can't believe anybody would go see hansel and gretel XD

Milking movies isn't terrible as long as it ensures the integrity of how it was written

The divergent book was bad not surprised the movie was awful

i feel like milking generally means to push more and more movies out of a series in rapid succession for profit, and not necessarily quality

Yeah I agree. I'm just saying I don't mind if they do something like cut the hobbit into three parts since it would be hard to put that book to movie using one 3 hour script. At the same time changing the story line by adding characters etc I don't really agree with even if I do find Evangeline Lily to be hot as shit.

the Noah movie is directed by an atheist, which is tragic really.
The movie is a disgusting farce, honestly and I would never watch it; it has almost nothing whatsoever to do with the Bible and Noah. I doubt the Exodus movie next year will do any better. The latest Jesus movie in theaters now, is also not worth watching. God gave us a book to learn about him, and not movies, for his brilliant, perfect reasons.

I thought the dialogue was corny, some great acting and cool gun fights tho. I didn't like how the movie dehumanized the TB. They're basically Storm Troopers in this movie. A little too jingoistic for me. 7/10.

^ so you're saying a movie about Taliban/Al Qaeda successfully fighting a Navy SEAL outfit dehumanizes the Taliban and is an arrogant or inaccurate portrayal?

I think he's saying the al-queda bros in the movie lacked any depth. If the movie aspired to be anything more than a "lets shoot some terrorists" action-adventure they would have developed at least one person whose sentiments weren't those of the seals.

They did though... Those navy seals are no joke. Have you guys read about that guy who survived and his 911 call chasing a gang for killing his dog? I found the movie balanced with the info they were provided. I'm sure some of it was covered but it's a good movie regardless. It was aimed mostly for the navy seals and who they are as a unit. Different and all of them are leagues above other branches

It's was the reality of the whole situation leading up to that event and the ending that made you said that. I saw it differently. I'm not gonna bother elaborating but this movie in general was filled with so much emotion that people took away different messages. It's a good movie in my book.

Exactly. AQ get headshot left and right by the dozens, no one cares. A couple white guys die, the whole world has ended. It was just a tad too patriotic for me. I will say that I thought it got A LOT better when the village scene(s) came up.

vish, all the operators in the spec ops community are extremely proficient, not just seals, army delta force, marsoc, and so forth. They all sacrifice years away from home for that operational tempo and opportunity, more so than regular service people. President Obama publicly named seal team 6 after the osb raid, which of course none of them probably wanted. public hype is not necessarily related to what goes on at socom everyday.

eager, do you think it is not realistic that expert marksman like navy seals are portrayed as being more weapons proficient than Taliban fighters?
