Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize i was talking to my editor. I'll try to use better punctuation in my future posts. So, how could you not think that movie was total crap? Granted, they had a series of good ideas; but that was all it was, a mash up of good ideas that created a pile of incoherent crap.

You should have figured that out a little sooner. It's nice that you know how to use punctuation.

The plot was really interesting throughout the movie, and there were a bunch of scary scenes. The acting was also pretty good. And for your earlier post,

[SPOILERS]



Clearly Scarlet knew what to do because she said that they had to keep going through the catacombs. That's how Scarlet and the two others got out.

That still doesnt change the fact that virtually nothing in that movie was consistent, besides we have to keep going down. Instead of exploring options they continued in a direction predetermined by a series of personal, yet comletely uncorrilated, "creepy things" set in their path until the retards were comletely stuck.

They didn't have any other options. What other options would you think of?

I wanna see The Babadook and V/H/S: Viral. I love both V/H/S movies, and this one looks great. The Pyramid might be alright, but it looks like As Above/So Below 2. Non-horror movies I wanna see are Interstellar, Mockingjay: Part 1, and The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies.

Btw do you know the name of the movie where they set out in a spaceship to try to restart the sun w a nuke. I saw some of it while out on deployment but dont know what it was. Looked good though.

British found footage with a Blair Witch/X-Files vibe.
Bit vague but most things make sense if you use your brain.
The sounds were quite good and so were the special effects.
I really liked the locations. Some were really beautiful and filmed in just the right way.

It was okay. The story held my interest although the reveal at the end was kinda lame. There were a few good scares and some others that fell flat but i didn't hate it. Worth a watch if you have nothing else to do just dont expect too much.

No, I don't have Netflix or anything else of that ilk...I end up watching all my movies on YouTube! If "The Caller" is on there, I will check it out.

Actually watched The Babadook tonight on YouTube. It was dreary and muted and I found it hard to feel any sympathy for the wish-washy mother. The son's "acting out" was annoying but I found him refreshingly personable.

Savaged 2013

I think this deserves at least an 8 out of 10. Another revenge flick featuring a strong female lead, but pleasantly gory and surprisingly well put-together. I thought the music and cinematography were fantastic. The film was just visually beautiful throughout. Some of the death scenes were super cool and the main actress does a phenomenal job of playing the broken-girl, as well as the bloodthirsty, ruthless killer. I really enjoyed this one! Check it out.

Pro Wrestlers Vs. Zombies (2014)

Obviously low budget but having been an avid wrestling fan in the past I found many of the inside jokes pretty funny. I also love Roddy Piper so it was worth watching just to see him bashing a zombie in the head with a coconut.

Wolfcop (2014)

Again, kind of low budget, but there were some fairly entertaining spots. At the end, it said Wolfcop 2 coming next year...if it does, I'll definitely check it out.

Interstellar (2014)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...psfb7f63ac.jpg

Chris Nolan's first venture into pure science-fiction, inspired by renowned physicist Kip Thorne's research & theories. Well...may be I'm not a science guy but as far my little knowledge & understanding goes, I think may be for the very first time here I've seen something that I like to call as a Wasted Opportunity for Mr. Nolan. Thing is, Interstellar offers a good story with great cast & visuals, no doubt but only one of those stories that's just a good read, not a million dollar budget movie material, IMO. Though there's plenty of far more disappointing or worse films get release every year with more or less same million dollar budget but the reason I've just said that is I didn't expect only a good or decent sci-fi flick from Chris Nolan, specially after building such huge anticipation for its contents; I expected something spectacular or extraordinary that would blew my mind away! Surely Nolan brothers selected here very interesting & great contents (i.e. wormholes, black holes & gravitational waves) for their first "Sci-fi Epic" but my frustration is they could have & should have done a gripping sci-fi THRILLER with said contents than to go along with a safer route which is actually merely a sci-fi adventure-DRAMA and after watching this, to some extent it even feels like it'd better be a docu-drama instead. They had materials on their table with which if they could have dared more or played with those ideas more, we'd get something close to a true sci-fi masterpiece like Blade Runner, Alien, Star Wars or even 2001: A Space Odyssey!

Anyway, it's a good film & needless to say offers a better story & contents than Upside Down for sure but frustrated me somewhat like the same way as that film did with the promising content(s).

Maybe my expectation was too high but sorry Mr. Nolan, you disappointed me this time in your Interstellar voyage.

Hmm... to me, I didn't think it was dull. It's been about a yr since I've seen it, but I remember there was always something mildly entertaining going on. I thought it was mildly entertaining. Not exciting, nor notable in anyway.

I've seen 28 Days, and thought it was better than Z. Having seen most of the big 'zombie' films, I thought 28 Days was decent. Did you think 28 Weeks was better or worse than 28 Days?

lolz! Yeah, I know it's kinda stupid to expect another masterpiece like Metropolis, 2001 or Alien nowadays but thing I tried to say was in Interstellar, Nolan Brothers really brought some fascinating topics of astrophysics to play with for a sci-fi extravaganza that's got potential to provide something CLOSE to those kind of masterpieces. But I guess, they were more cautious about theoretical implementation aspects of those contents rather than building an exciting & refreshing story along the process. Here they kinda played safe and that's my frustration was all about. If that's the case then they should make a documentary film about astrophysics & Kip Thorne's theories instead. Even the little twist at the end it provides was way too predictable for me, I guessed that within first half an hour.

Manimal 11-16-2014 02:55 AM

Starry Eyes 2014

I'd say it's worth at least a 7 out of 10. Very slow-moving film.. lots and lots of build-up and character development and then BAM! Some excellent brutal gory scenes. I found it hard to become invested in the storyline due to the slow pacing of the film, and none of the characters were really likable. I enjoyed the ending and the climactic parts nearing the end, but I felt like I was already checked out before that happened, which made it less enjoyable for me. Cool concept. Worth the watch. But prepare for a long and slow story before it gets any good.

This was a lot better than i thought it would be. A lot of fun, great action and surprisingly good acting from Tom Cruise who i'm not too big a fan of. I liked how they did his character, it was a nice change from the typical unbelievable action hero. They did a good job showcasing the different days. Obviously they can't show all of them but they did a good job showcasing that he had been doing it for awhile. I didn't like Emily Blunt's character too much. Seems like Hollywood only knows how to make women tough bad asses by also making them a bitch as well. Get's tiring. The ending was kind of a cop out but it worked. Overall i had a lot of fun watching it and it told a good story and thats all i need from movies like this.
