Been watching(and re-watching) Black Swan. What a mind-fuck. I mean, it's like triple-penetration for the brain. Left me wanting more, hanging for a true ending. But god, it was crazy good. Like, literally crazy.
Absolutely a 9 out of 10.
I have no desire to the new Avengers. I'm so bored of superhero movies. They make so many now it's not any fun. The Dark Knight Trilogy are the best superhero movies in the past decade.
Last watched was G.I. Joe: Retaliation - 6/10. Watching Snake Eyes now.
I know what you mean, but I'd reccomend giving it a try. If you think GI Joe speaks for the whole of superhero movies, you're looking at it wrong. Those are for children and have a very small fan base. Try avengers or guardians of the galaxy, if you haven't already. And try to get into some of the lore.
I know they are unrealistic, but that's the fun of it. Sure some movies like American Sniper and Imitation game are neat. But it feels good to escape reality sometimes.
i wasn't saying gi joe was a superhero movie. I was just saying that was the last movie I watched... I've seen all of the current Superhero movies except for Man of Steel, Guardians of the Galaxy and the new Avengers.
You should check out Guardians 100%. Fun movie.
just got done with watching It Follows, and i really liked it. This is definitely more the type of horror movie that i can enjoy. Had me on edge the entire time, made me quite uncomfortable, but in all the right places. Some things could have been done different (better?) imo, but the cinematography and the feel of the movie were on point. probably gonna watch the Babadook next, maybe tomorrow. should be good. as well, although i've heard from people that it wasn't all that (but they also didn't like it follows), but have read some pretty good stuff as well. Heard that, like it follows, it is different than all the other horror movies (more artsy and tense building) so im sure i'll like it as well.
also, if people watched it follows; i heard people complained about this scene online a lot, but when i watched the movie i got a completely different vibe from it than they did
the secene with the red ball, where it hit the window as jay was checking herself out. Most people said it was a jumpscare without any substance as the little kid was spying on her neighbor and threw the ball, which wouldn't have made sense if he was spying in the first place. So the ball came practically out of nowhere.
But what i got out of that scene, was that 'it' was waiting below the window (not the neighbor kid) and threw the ball, in the hopes that jay would open the window to check it out and thereby allowing 'it' to get close enough to touch and kill her (like, a couple scenes prior that guy explained that 'it' was slow, but smart (and this would have been quite smart knowing one is slow)).
Tried to google this theory, but couldn't find anything about it. apart from 'jumpscare when the kid was spying'. So, what do you guys think? I might have been completely off, but that scene really got me on my nerves because of how i interpreted that, and really wouldn't have if wat the majority is saying is true.
Mad Max- 6.5/10
-_- real
Kung Fury was great, did laff, exceeded all of my expectations and I LOVE 80s shit.
lol its not a bad score, it means its above average in my opinion. it seems like half you guys rate movies by "its a pretty good movie, 10/10"

it follows was good but it's overrated in the sense that it really isn't THAT different from other modern horror movies tbh. still, the scene in the fucking bedroom with the tall guy walking in was scary as shit
sorry for not liking the movie as much as you. let me say that i enjoyed the movie, but i wouldn't give it more than a 6.5
Its not getting a 90+ rating on rotten tomatoes for shits n giggles. Not giving out high ratings for movies is lame, when something is good and you loved it for what it was then go ahead.
rotten tomatoes does their scores by how many critics liked the film vs disliked the film. it doesn't surprise me that 90% of critics liked the film because it was an enjoyable movie regardless if you're a fan of action movies. that's not the same as saying it was a 9/10 though.
Were not fucking high brow movie critics here with an education in every subtelty of screenwriting, directing and camera work.
lol i am definitely the last person to pretend to have a film degree, but i know what i love and i know what i just like. it's not like i sat there with my friends and didn't enjoy it or acted cool for not liking it as much as Apocalypse Now or some shit.
