Haha. I thought it was so good. Right from the opening, just pretty fantastic. Now time for BvS next month!
Never would have ever guessed it would get a sequel... Ha apparently made a lot of money globally though. But then again I actually didn't finish it, so I'm not sure if it was set up to have a sequel or not
...I also haven't seen The Godfather yet. Oops. Not too interested in Deadpool, but I will be seeing The Witch this weekend.
The Witch was awesome. Audiences have been walking out because of the Chauncer English, and the beginning is admittedly pretty dry, but the payoff starts right around the halfway point of the film and is sooooooo worth it. Beautifully filmed, relentlessly creepy and metal af haha
Haha I could barely get through the previews when they showed it in front of The Boy. Lol might be too creepy for me.
Surprisingly I didn't know about it until this afternoon. Kind of snuck up on me. Was looking to see what was out this weekend, and watched the trailer for the first time today. Fantastic cast.
Zootopia looks great. Okay, so I'm on spring break and when I'm home, I have to resort to going to an actual movie rental place and catching up on films that aren't on Netflix, so I rented five movies this week: Foxcatcher - 9/10 The compelling true crime/sports story of wrestlers Mark (Channing Tatum) and Dave Schultz (Mark Ruffalo) and their strange, obsessive coach, John du Point (Steve Carrell). Excellent performances from all three leads. Straight Outta Compton - 9.5/10 Like many rap classics, this N.W.A biopic is sprawling at times bloated, but in a way only some masterpieces can be. The Martian - 7.5/10 Despite some speed bumps in the beginning, this film's endearing third act and a stellar ensemble drives it to near-classic status in the space adventure genre. Crimson Peak - 9.5/10 I'll have to read into the criticisms a little more -- I know a lot of people weren't into it because it was kind of pitched as a Halloween movie when there's actually quite a bit of romance in the first half -- but the gothic setting and visuals are stunning and the second half is a callback to classic thriller/haunted house/ghost stories. Once again, all three leads were amazing. Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse - 3.5/10 I'm a sucker for dumb comedies, but aside from a few surface-level laughs and some decent special effects, this movie is bad bad bad. Bad (nonexistent?) laughs, bad (nonexistent?) scares -- just an unbelievable amount of sex comedy and zombie film tropes.
@Aaron Mook I'm excited about Crimson Peak. I heard the visuals are quite amazing. Will be checking it out at RedBox at some point.
I just got back from seeing Zootopia with fairly high expectations and it absolutely met them. I really loved the movie. as Deviant said, one of Disney's best recent films. I still need to see Wreck It Ralph tho, as well
I tried watching Blade Runner for the first time last night but I feel asleep. 0/10 But once I actually watch it I bet it'll be like a 7.
Zootopia is fantastic. Deadpool is decent. Going to see 10 Cloverfield Lane Thursday night. Also will probably see either The Revenant or Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
I guess my Film Club on AP is going to die soon. Anyone interested in doing one up here in the next few weeks?
Definitely don't let it die. I was also thinking some cool things to do would be group watches of movies. Pick one, pick a date, do a live watch and chat kinda thing.
Yeah, I'm gonna keep it going for now. Then hopefully all those folks move over here at some point and we can just keep it the same.
