Seen all of them all pretty good with Thor being the best of the bunch which is a strange choice but it's a good film.
Watched The Counselor, luv. It was alright in places but very underwhelming overall. Probably won't watch it again. 5.5 (on IMDB) might be about right.
Just finished it and thought it was stunning. Fassbender is brilliant as is Diaz as the central character who is probably the only person in control at all times. I'm such a fan of McCarthy that I may well be biased. To me it's quite a straight forward film where if you get involved in something bad, bad things happen there's no surprises here or twists just stark reality. (McCarthy at his best) Ridley Scott does a great job of setting a scene as do the Coens in No Country for Old Men and this is essential to the mood of anything by McCarthy. People expecting more from this film will be disappointed, there's no ace up the sleeve or clever twist it is a matter of enjoying the telling of a story and enjoying the performances of the actors telling that tale. I completely understand why this film is getting such bad reviews as it's not what people expect from a big director and star studded cast. My advice would be to read Cormack McCarthy and then revisit the films (The Road, No Country For Old Men and The Counselor. Lets forget the terrible version of All The Pretty Horses) IMDB 5.5 luvgonzo 8.4 Books by Cormack McCarthy I'd recommend...... The Border Trilogy Child of God No Country For Old Men Outer Dark
Visually stunning but like you said could have been better, Sandra Bullock was probably the wrong choice.
A list of films you may not have seen or heard about..... I've just been looking through Sundance Film Festival awards and winners as this is where the best films always come from (The Oscars is overhyped) the best 2 films I watched last year The Kings Of Summer and Beasts of The Southern Wild were promoted by Sundance so take a look at these. Breathe in The Raid 2 Whiplash To Kill a Man Difret Imperial Dreams Fishing Without Nets 52 Tuesdays 20,000 Days on Earth Low Down
Not sure if you were continuing your gag or not with that second bit but if you were: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2056787/
There are two others too: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078515/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780657/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
That's sort of the point. The Raid is a martial arts action film, really good and No. 2 looks just as good. Just google them and read the reviews on Imdb.
Just watched Captain Phillips. Excellent film that I really enjoyed (if thats the right word) watching, 9/10
Saw that a could of weeks ago., excellent film, based on a true story too which makes it even more interesting (in the right way of course)
Yeh I agree, I suppose it depends what the story is based on too. Haven't really seen any new movies lately, latest one was Captain Philips and that was two weeks ago, one before that was Hunger Games: Catching Fire and that was a month or so ago. Really should watch more new ones though
Watched Delivery Man and Rush Saturday and Gravity last night. On a bit of a film mission ATM Delivery Man wasn't great but watchable (I gave it 6/10) Rush was very good (8/10) Gravity was good but could have been better IMO (7/10)
