Last movie you saw?

why you watch so many bad movies?

 

Pride + Prejudice + Zombies

Turned out to be a bit silly at times (who would have guessed). Matt Smith was probably the best bit.

 

Pixels

I've seen worse, but it was still really, really bad.

 

I'll admit I give a wide latitude to Adam Sandler so I enjoyed Pixels. I even like the Africa safari movie he made. But man, his new Netflix movie Ridiculous 6 is un-watchable. I've gotten through about 2/3 in small 20 minute segments before breaking for a few months.

I've heard he doesn't even like making movies anymore. He is still a decent draw so he does them so his poorer friends can get work and have money for the year. That's why the casts are virtually identical, and the movies start to mesh together.

 

The Lobster

One of the strangest movies I've ever seen. The first half of the movie was hilarious. The second half had major pacing problems and dragged badly. I'd give it a 6.5/10, mostly for the bizarre and unique premise.

 

Straight Outta Compton

It starts off kind of messy and unfocused, and doesn't get decent until later in the movie. Not bad, but not really Oscar worthy either. It helps if you like early rap stuff from the late 80s and early 90s. The soundtrack is top notch.

6/10

Sinister 2

Not as good as the first movie, but not as bad as the reviews would have you believe. Just like the first movie, the creepy home videos are the best part.

6/10

Steve Jobs (the one with Michael Fassbender)

Portrays Jobs as a brilliant salesman whose ideas were often ahead of their time, but also an arrogant egomaniac who treated other people terribly. That seems pretty accurate based on everything I've read about the guy. Michael Fassbender's performance is pretty good.

I didn't really know much about the Next workstation computers until seeing this movie. They look like they were very advanced for the late 1980s, really more comparable to what people were using for PCs in the mid 90s, but almost a decade before that. Some classic PC games like DOOM and DOOM II were programmed on Next workstations.

7/10

 

that's what she said

 

Trumbo

I hope Bryan Cranston gets an Oscar for this. He was good in this movie, but he's just such a great actor in general that I think he deserves one.

 

Mad Max is making the Oscars its bitch. I really hope it gets Best Picture. It's the best action movie to come out in about two decades.

Edit: they gave best picture to some depressing movie about priests raping boys that no one cares about. Why does best picture always have to be political? You could make a good case for Mad Max, The Martian, or The Revenant being best picture. WTF is Spotlight?

 

Leo finally gets his first Oscar after waiting 20 years.

 

Yep, Leo has been overdue for years. This is exactly why Oscars are so irrelevant, some shit movie nobody has seen always wins.

I think Chris Rock nailed it in the monologue... they need to open up the categories more. It's not just black people, but people like Harrison Ford, Jim Carrey, and others being snubbed their whole careers. They don't qualify in the current category setup.

Instead of making practical changes, next year they will overcompensate and give DMX an Oscar. Which will be just as racist and make them a little more irrelevant.

 

Room

A movie about an Ariel Castro or Josef Fritzl rape dungeon type of situation, told from the perspective of the rape baby. I can see why Brie Larson got an Oscar for this. I never really thought of her as much of an actress, but she was quite good in this.

 

The Green Inferno

Obnoxious tree hugger SJW college students try to save the rainforest. But their plane crashes and they get eaten alive by the rainforest tribe they were trying to save, who turn out to be cannibals. It was kind of amusing at times, but it was mostly just gross. None of the SJW college kids are likable, so you never really feel bad when they get eaten. I actually laughed when they butchered and cooked the fat friendzone guy in a meat smoker, but I don't think it was meant to be funny. I think Eli Roth was trying to remake Cannibal Holocaust. It's actually almost exactly like the Getting Gay With Kids rainforest episode of South Park, right down to the guys with bulldozers shooting the natives basically being the lesser of the evils in the end. Except it's a semi-serious horror movie. And I think that's the problem with it. If you're going to make something this gross, it's better to go in a more comical direction with it.

 

I really liked Sicario. I was expecting some boring police procedural thing. Instead it's like half CIA black ops movie, half hitman movie.
