Buster's Mal Heart

It's heavy...especially if you're depressed or just unhappy in life. I am not going to "rate" this film. Feelings worse than ever.

Wind River - 4.25/5

The Founder 8.5/10

Really enjoying this "career resurgance" that Michael Keaton is having

Movie was pretty great and keaton has been tops for a few years now

brigsby bear - i thought it was bangin

yea? cool... I will watch it

Drive-8/10

Hadn't seen it since it was in theatres. Forgot how much I liked it. I liked that it wasn't this grand scale movie with over the top stuff. Just a tightly knit quasi mob movie with an interesting soundtrack and a great cast.

One of the better stylized Gosling films.

Death Note (US: ) 6/10

My Cousin Vinny - 8/10

Really? The first time?

Yeah dude.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - 4 out of 5

Very much catches your attention and doesn't let go. Might go back and watch it again. Might be an all time fave of mine.

MoviePass #1 - Hitmans Bodyguard 8/10

Should have known from the parody poster that it was going to have comedic moments and I sort of got a slight Tarantino movie vibe from it between Sam Jackson, the violence, dialog and soundtrack. It was predictable as he'll though..

Whoa! Can't wait to receive my "Movie Pass".

Death Note - 2 out of 4 stars.

Wasn't terrible like some are saying. But didn't really enjoy it much. The actor who played light was fucking terrible. Mia was the best part. Leaving everything open and not wrapping shit up is pretty bad if the next installment isn't even green lit yet. Weak stuff.

Really enjoyed Mia. L was worse than Light imo but Light was very meh.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - 2.5 out of 4

Pew Pew Pew
Joke
Classic Rock
Repeat

Moviepass #2 Dunkirk - 6/10

Was ok

"Eddie The Sleepwalking Cannibal" was a mixed bag imo. 6.5/10

Warm Bodies - 8/10....kinda interesting, cool concept. Had it's funny moments.

The Bourne Legacy-6/10

This was the one without Jason Bourne, even though he's central to the plot. Jeremy Renner plays Aaron Cross, who's trying to make physical and mental enhancements from pills permanent.

The Jason Bourne situation causes the bureau running the programs to shut down "outcome", and Cross is the surviving member. He saves and partners with Rachel Weisz' character from there.

It was l an interesting idea but the plot kinda muddled along, trying to hard to tie in the 3rd Bourne film to this one, and not putting enough focus on Renner's character and his seemingly interesting backstory.

The ending was awful. It was a non finish to the story being told and the film really doesn't go anywhere. Felt it'd have been better to tell a separate story that happen because of the Bourne fiasco, and tie the characters together in a following film. But alas.

Just finished Berserk Golden Age Arc 1-3 and I am hooked ....
Where the hell do I go from here...
8/10

Captain Fantastic - 8.5/10

The Revanent 2/5. Netlix made me because a 3 is "i liked it" a 2 is "I didn't like it." I didn't dislike it but I didn't like it either so I felt a 2 was more honest.

As for the movie itself, it was very meh. The scenery and all that jazz was great but the story was dull and unoriginal. Pretty much knew what was going to happen 2 hours before it happened.

Where you been!?

Dont get me wrong, you like what you like but that movie was literally 0about the journey. Of course you know where you're going to be in 3rd act...

Jackie - 7/10

Script is pretty thin but Natalie Portman shows thats she's the best actress going today despite the fact.

I understand that it's about the journey and whatnot, but it doesn't make it a riveting tale.

Moviepass #3 It 9/10 enjoyed it a lot

Logan Lucky 4/5

Free Fire - 7.5/10

Funny, slick and a waste of Brie Larson. I dunno why she was there really.
Not nearly as good nor as weird as A Field In England not as solid a tribute to a qgreat movie as Kill List but definitely a solid, fun one-room scenario. I wouldn't say it was brilliant or particularly memorable. In fact I would say it might be trying too hard to be The Guard...or Calvary.

What Happened to Monday - 3.75/5

A Cure for Wellness - 2.5 / 4

So frustrating. The movie is beautifully shot. Really great aesthetics. It's great to look at. The final act is fucking terrible. So forced. So dumb. A shame because the themes are spot on.

Moviepass #4 mother! 5/10



If you have seen the trailer and go in expecting to see the movie in the trailer..you won't like it. I wish I hadn't seen the trailer for it although my opinion would still stand.

Oh no....I wanted to see Mother! I hope you're lying about that first part because that's a punch in the gut right there.

IT - 5/10

The trailer I saw was before It last week which supposedly a custom trailer.

I couldn't agree more. That ending just ruined the entire thing for me and I was getting ready to hype that film fairly hard after 80 minutes of Dane De Haan being awesomely gothic. Then the ending... the big reveal is a grossly misjudged, feckless Stephen King-level misfire.

I shouldn't have expected much from a man who's most enjoyable film for me is a late 90's slapstick caper called Mousehunt but there you have it.

Oh and if anyone sits through it thinking the tits are worth it you are going to have one tough wank ahead of you.

I've been waiting for a chance to see this because I saw the synopsis recently and it caught my imagination.
I want to see It Comes at Night and Dave Built A Maze too, they were mentioned a while ago any they sound nuts.

It-7/10

Really good. Not really as scary as it is tense. Though there a few scenes that were great, such as the projector scene in the garage and the baseman scene with George.

I agree with Drebin on the dad. Mike also got very little time to develop compared to the other characters.

But those are minor issues. Overall I enjoyed it a ton and hope chapter 2 lives up to it.

It - 7/10

The Prestige - 7/10



Anomalisa - 6/10

The Georgie death scene at the beginning is master work. I haven't read the book but it felt like it was perfectly done.

It was pretty fucked up in the old one too.

The first half of the original is top class terror whereas the second half is mostly piss.

Yeah the Georgie scene was wonderful. Great character work in such a small amount of time. I like that, at least from what I saw, the trailers held off on Pennywise talking. It was a pleasant reminder that he's not some mindless monster.

Pennywise drooling at times kinda reminded me of Heath Ledger ' s Joker licking his lips in more of a reptilian/non human way.

People have said here that the Tim Curry version is more of an actual crazy clown while the Bill Skarsgaard one had more of a feeling of a creature posing as a clown which is great.

Agree. Feel like Tim Curry just hammed it up. Skarsgaard drooling was a really neat but subtle touch. I really loved the opening scene.

More I think about the more I wanna see the movie again. Child banter was also very good.

I wank to porn. Movies should be movies.

I'd take an AVN Award over an Oscar any day!

Jonh Wick 2 - 4.5 out of 5

I was genuinely surprised by how good the film was. Can't wait for the third installment to come out next year.

I didn't like the first one so much, but really liked the second one and also can't wait for the third.........

Yeah the second half of the film was really great. Before that was leaning towards liking the first film a lot more.

Laughed a lot at there being a king of the hobos and immediately thought about the Vince limo story where he was meant to become one.

Sunshine - 4/10

The first two thirds of the film are tense, confined and visually stunning. The final third reveals that you have been watching Event Horizon fan fiction all along.
I like Event Horizon but they've basically taken the ending beat for beat and ruined an interesting film with it.
I can't stress enough just how much this ending ruined the movie for me.

Don't watch Sunshine.


Mystery Men - 6/10

I know 6/10 isn't a great score but this was a masterpiece in comparison to Sunshine only this time it's the start of the movie that brings it down a peg.

I remember liking Mystery Men a lot when I was younger..... haven't seen it in years, though.....

I really really liked Sunshine. The ending didn't destroy the whole movie for me, but it was not good and I could see why it would do that for some. I wouldn't throw it into the basket of "movies with great concepts executed terribly" since the majority of it is so good.

It was beautiful until it turned into another movie. Go and watch Event Horizon and tell me Mark Strong in Sunshine isn't playing Sam Neil in Event Horizon.

I'm not a big Danny Boyle fan at all. 127 Hours was crap too and Trainspotting 2 was a muddled mess.

The Deer Hunter 3/10

This universally acclaimed monstrosity is duller than a soup spoon and easily 90 minutes too long.
I hated it. If the filming hadn't been so obviously well done this would be fired down to a 2/10 because there was just nothing to this film at all. I had seen it before when I was an alcoholic but I figured I must have missed something.

Unfortunately I had not.

I'm not sure why anyone would jump on the bandwagon and declare this shit a masterpiece because it really is a long slow turd that emerges broken, disjointed and somehow missing vital pieces.
It really makes very little sense. I find it ludicrous that a man could indulge himself by filming a wedding for an hour to absolutely no improvement of the film only to have to rush through or skip some big chunks later on which leave you wondering how a guy with a broken leg now has no legs and one arm or why the fuck Christopher Walken does any of the shit that he does at all.

The best scene in this entire 3 hour mess is the bit where Bobby De Niro decides not to shoot a majestic deer on his solo return from Vietnam. I have never sat through a film as fidgety as this. It was a huge waste of time and anyone that was a film critic when it came out should be ashamed that they so easily fell into parroting back what others praised it for.
This film is the perfect example of a movie with all of the right ingredients yet that somehow created an inert, wasteful pile of crud instead of the high powered rocket fuel it should be.

I am amazed that anyone was surprised that Cimino's next film went so hugely over budget and was decried as the worst movie ever made.
I mean what Deer Hunter did these idiots see?
The one I've just watched is probably the most wasteful piece of shit I've ever sat through so I'd be expecting Heaven's Gate to be an even longer and more protracted bowel movement.

It really is sorely obvious from the Deer Hunter that Michael Cimino was an arrogant, ponderous buffoon and that he would only ever produce low energy guff that relied on slow camera work, panning all over countryside and across irrelevant scenes of a life nobody should be interested in.

It is fair to say that I actually hated The Deer Hunter.

I could edit the footage down to a lean 20 minute movie that made sense but I'd probably still have had to use 5 minutes of tracking shots just because nobody wants to see a 15 minute movie.

Huh...I just checked and there are two critics that hated it just as much as I did. I take great warmth from the knowledge that Mark Kermode truly hated it and still does.

Just thinking on the Oscars that year….how could Midnight Express not sweep the board?
Midnight express is actually good for a start, has great performances and tells a story that is ultimately far far more interesting.

Michael Cimino should consider himself lucky he's dead because I'd kick his ass and demand my three hours back.

It Comes at Night: 3 put of 4 stars

Solid. Seems alot of people were really big on this one and while it's good, I didn't think it was terribly different from others who have tried this sub genre. I liked it though.

Is it at least better than 10 Cloverfield Lane?
These enclosed space horror flicks get on my tits. I did not like the one with Michael Biehn a few years ago.

Similar setup kinda sorta. They can go outside though. I dunno, I kinda thought the characters from 10 CL were better. I liked that movie though even with the unnecessary last ten mins. This one had more of an interesting dynamic since it's more of a fear of the unknown that the characters deal with rather than a fear of a figure who's motives become known.

Better writers and actors in 10, but better story and emotion in ICAN.

War Machine - 7.5/10

What I don't get is Pitt run ended shitty, while this general his character was based on apparently got off with a shitton of medals and was hailed as a hero.

The Founder

It was good enough I guess. It told the story it was supposed to tell and it didn't drag on for too long. It's pretty much the exact same "rise of the capitalist" story as the Facebook and all of those Steve Jobs films that have come out recently, which in general I don't think is a particularly good concept to make a movie around since you need a bunch of contrived situations to explain the plot points. They of course had the cut scene where you see gradually more and more McDonald's start to open one after another. Michael Keaton basically did his Jack Nicholson impression that he probably developed for talk shows, but he plays a good sleezeball, and it's nice to have an actor you're comfortable with when the main character isn't really that interesting on his own or well written. Bill Offerman was good as the McDonald who keeps getting screwed over on the phone, those were the best scenes.

I liked reading that review, DrA.

Nick Offerman not Bill.

I'm looking forward to seeing the film because Michael Keaton, Nick Offerman and John Carroll Lynch are all absolutely incredible at what they do.

What's all this shit about Michael Keaton doing a Jack Nicholson impression? That seems like a fairly large slight to aim at the man while he's currently in a well deserved career resurgence…especially when you have the man's visage in your avatar.

Bill Offerman*

Maybe you should read DrA closely, duuuh.

I'd like to do sex with Megan Mullaly

You sick pervert, she's 59 years old. She could be your sister!

I love Michael Keaton, and I thought he was good in the movie. That's how it came across to me in the end speech that he did, not really the entire movie, but the speech is one of the last scenes so that was on my mind as I finished.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle: 8/10

I had a number of "issues" with the film, but on the whole it was just so much fun. During one of the scenes during the climax of the movie, I had a big wide smile on my face involuntarily.

I wouldn't put it above the first one, but it is still good and fun.

Thought the founder was outstanding

I came here to place a review of this as well. Saw it last night and this basically sums up how I feel as well.

Any more anal sex with the princess or whatever her title was?

No, but she is in it, which surprised me.

Moviepass #5 - Kingsmen 2 - 9/10 liked it more than the first but I'm biased

Almost paid money over in London to see it over there..getting to see the front of the shop was cool though.
No one in the theatre 10 min before..hmm

Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle - 6/10

A bit outlandish but hella fun.

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three-8/10

This is original with Walter Matthaugh. It's at times tense, funny, smart and well paced with good characters.

My only gripe was the end. The character who helped operate the train for the bad guys seemed hesitant the entire film, until the end where he assumes he's a free man. His demeanor changed and didn't seem to fit.

But overall it was very good.

Brad's Status: 3.5/4

Loved this. Anyone who compares themselves friends and their successes or failures should give this a look.

How is Brad doing these days? Did he buy any other forums?

Brad was the best owner of tpww. By far.

'71 - 7/10

Kingsman 2: 8.5/10 - Not as good as the original, but it comes far closer than the majority of sequels do. The "celebrity cameo" made the movie IMO....

Whose cameo?

Elton John

I finally watched National Lampoon's European Vacation. With Chevy Chase Commentary. He is a self absorbed egomaniac and that movie was garbage for the most part. A couple little chuckles.

I've never seen blade runner. There's a double feature (for 2x price obviously) tomorrow night . can't use movie pass though. Do I see pay to see both or rent original somewhere and moviepass the sequel..decisions

Edit I've got a 99 cent rental on Google..might do that

Wind River - 8/10

Weird I haven't heard about this movie at all. Renner is great, Bernthal with a small role, but delivers as usual.

IT.. put and SH in front of the movies title and you've got my opinion of that pile of trash 2/7

Assault on Precinct 13-6/10

This is the original. It was ok. They never really develop the reasoning behind the gangs joining together. But once it going it was pretty good.

Blade Runner 2047 - 3 out of 4

Good. Kinda confusing at times and some shit makes little sense but not enough to ruin it.

Like



Personally

Blafe Runner - 5/10 not really understanding the cult following/love for it. Felt like I watched a movie for 90 minutes and nothing happened. They atmosphere of the movuecwas great though..albeit with some 20/20 hindsight watching a movie set 37 years in the future 2 years away from the time frame.

Moviepass #6- 2049 6/10 I sort of felt like while there's more of a story the fact that its almost twice as long evens that back out. The visuals all convey the same universe from the original spot on. The twist at The end actually got me but it seems to not mean anything inn The long run. If they don't make a sequel again the whole movie just seems pointless

Lol yeah....they never got around to explaining that did they?

Moviepass #7 Mountain Between Us 6/10 take out Winslet and Ilba and replace with generic actors and you'd have a lifetime movie that id never bother to see. As it was it was ok. They should have eaten the dog though

Because..moviepass. Tons of old people

The Bitter Tea of General Yen - This movie was very interesting. Very progressive for it's time in showing a relationship between a white woman and a Chinese warlord (during a time when miscegenation was illegal and would soon be banned in film) and portrays American missionaries as naive and misguided... but it also has it's main Chinese character played by a white guy in yellowface. Films of the early 30s also seem very strange to me, like they had just started using sound and didn't quite know how to make movies with talking yet. Weird, beautiful, dreamlike movie, a couple times I thought I fell asleep watching TCM or something. Great picture! 10/10!!!

Wonder Woman - Good. I can't stand when the third act/last action scene is the worst part of a movie, very common with many new action/comic book movies. I still liked this though 7/10

Blade Runner 2049 7/10

Purge Election Year 6 out of 10. Was good enough but nothing special. Wonder what would actually happen if the Purge was real. Doubt it would be as violent as most people would probably just loot.

Blade Runner 2049 - 4.75/5

Almost perfect.
