That movie you just watched

[datbuta]

I just watched Kung Fu Panda 3... was pretty good... i felt it was extremely better than the second movie.. and the animation was really well done... the effects and the theme of the movie was just great!

Just watched 2 movies.

The Forest- When her twin sister disappears in Japan, a young American named Sara (Natalie Dormer) becomes determined to find out what happened to her. Sara's investigation leads her to the legendary Aokigahara Forest, located at the base of Mount Fuji. Accompanied by expatriate Aiden, she enters the mysterious wilderness after being warned to "stay on the path." Her investigation plunges her into a dark world where the angry and tormented souls of the dead prey on those who dare to explore the forest.

Creed-Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) never knew his famous father, boxing champion Apollo Creed, who died before Adonis was born. However, boxing is in his blood, so he seeks out Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) and asks the retired champ to be his trainer. Rocky sees much of Apollo in Adonis, and agrees to mentor him, even as he battles an opponent deadlier than any in the ring. With Rocky's help, Adonis soon gets a title shot, but whether he has the true heart of a fighter remains to be seen.

Both movies were way better than I thought they were going to be.

Just watched the new BD of The Mutilator/Fall Break and it was nice to finally see this 80s slasher classic in HD. This one was a long time coming as there were many delays with the release and there was also never a proper DVD of it but now there is a BD/DVD release of the uncut version and this one is simply a must if you're into this sort of thing! Basically this kid accidentally kills his mom while trying to clean his dads rifles and then we flash forward to current day when the kid is now in college, gets a mysterious phone call from his dad asking him to close up the family beach house, and winds up being stalked by a crazed killer while there with some friends.

Recent watch on my part as well. I liked it, but it didn't have the punch as some of the past ones.

Creed was ok. The fighter at the end with that irritating scouse accent put me right off though

Just finished Pixels, it wasn't so bad I guess.  Not the biggest Sandler fan and Qbert was a bit offputting (Hey, since when does he say anything other than cursewords?  They missed an opportunity there, Qbert should sworn like a sailor).  It's pretty much what I expected, with some pretty inaccurate stuff to move the plot along - like the "cheat code" to speed up Pac-man.  Pretty hamfisted but like I said, I wasn't expecting Citizen Kane.

Bone Tomahawk with Kurt Russel.  It was a tad different for a western film, but I really liked it.  A tad slow at parts though, and one brutal scene.

[EvilEvoIX]

I just watched Primer.  What a brilliantly made movie with an I term resting twist on time travel.  Movie was made for $7,000.  Brilliant writing, really have to pay attention to the story.  Genius writing.


Deadpool.  Like bed up the the hype.  A fun ride.  Nothing outstanding just really fun.


Zoolander2.  A lukewarm abortion would serve as better entertainment.  Couldn't even finish it I had to shut it off.  Terrible.

Zoolander2.  A lukewarm abortion would serve as better entertainment.  Couldn't even finish it I had to shut it off.  Terrible.

That was true of the first one and I love Ben Stiller most of the time, but I was very shocked it was decided that something like Zoolander should ever get a sequel... I'm curious to see it, but I remember how bad the first one was even though I could sit through it all for whatever value I could find.

Zoolander2 makes zoolander1 look like " On the Waterfront".  Could be the worst more I've ever seen.

[NightWolve]

Sounds about right for a Zoolander.  Yeah, I was like, really ? That thing got a sequel greenlit ? How was that possible ? Stiller still has some great movies and will always get a pass from me for making Tropic Thunder no matter how many flops!

[MrBroadway]

Zoolander the first one was amazing. Very layered, full of clever jokes, and the portraiture of the fashion industry is an excellent allegory for a good many industries out there, entertainment included.

I haven't seen the second one, but I'd be very let down if it dropped all what made the original great.

Terrible plot, forced dialogue, death of a major character because they didn't want to be in the movie, forced "humor", I mean it's like a zoolander fan kidnapped the cast at gunpointcand forced them to make it on the spot.

[NightWolve]

Yeah, glancing at some reviews, it does appear this type of comedy is really hit or miss. Either finding it really stupid and in some cases willing to shut it off, or laughing your butt off. While I was able to finish watching the first one, I'm sore that I bought the DVD for it (because I saw Ben Stiller on the package and I usually love his type of comedy), just as I'm sore about having bought the Legally Blonde 1&2 DVDs.

Somebody did a Youtube video where they melted the Legally Blonde DVD in a microwave which I found hilarious given what I felt about the movie and it gives me a future idea for a videogame I wanna melt some day in a live video. You have to figure out what the safe settings are for your microwave though, cause at default max power, in just a few seconds you'll create a nasty, black puff cloud of smoke with plastic particulates going airborne fast!

I tested a DVD or DVD-R once, saw the internal sparks of the embedded material in the plastic and the reaction/production of smoke was fast... Pretty nasty clean up. I should've done my research first, gotten the low power adjustments needed for a slow, safe melt.

P.S.

When I feel like grabbing the 2nd one some time, I might try watching the 1st one again to see them both in order and possibly reevaluate what I think about it. I wonder if my opinion will change given what o.pwuaioc feels about it. Sometimes Will Ferrell is funny, like in "The Other Guys" which is a great action comedy with Mark Wahlberg, but other times he has that face you wanna punch and that annoying shtick gets on my nerves... In Zoolander, my sentiment was more in the "I wanna punch that guy" mode.

As a general rule I'm not a fan of dumb comedy movies.  My friends made me watch Zoolander, uh, 15 years ago?  Maybe?  Whatever, I found it absolutely hilarious.  It did everything right from my perspective.  After reading this thread I think I'll avoid Zoolander 2 to avoid tarnishing my memory of the first.
