Despite being French and it took me a few minutes to realize that, I think Antigang was a nice average action movie. (3/5)

Everest: pretty good movie, shitty way to die. Watched "The Theory of Everything" last night. I think that guy did a good job portraying Hawking's mannerisms as result of his condition. From what I've read, the actual Hawking can be/is a bit more pretentious/assholish?

He's English and Old. Oh, and English too.

I have the book, which is actually an autobiography that was gifted to me. I enjoyed it, learned how the Nazis only bombed certain areas of the UK, and so did the allies?

Have you seen the death toll of the alias against the axis, it is so evident that we were dragged into another pit of death by the Establishment Gematria.

Originally posted by Zoso Just finished The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Not sure why it bombed, I thoroughly enjoyed this one! Hope they make a sequel.

Armie Hammer is a friend of mine. - good bloke and fuck is he tall. It wasn't actually a bomb. It cost $75m to make and took over $100m. After marketing costs it probably broke even.

Though it didn't do great in the USA, they're hoping it gets picked up for a sequel as it did well in the foreign markets. It's sometimes a bit hit and miss with Guy Ritchie films but TMFU was actually very well done and it really came down to timing and not enough people in the demographic knowing the heritage. That bodes well for a sequel and the rumor is it will get one with a bigger budget.

Originally posted by Jack I wasn't blown away by The Revenant. It was good, certainly virtuoso on a technical level (although rather in love with its own virtuosity) and Tom Hardy stole it for me, but I'm not sure why it's a shoe-in for every Oscar going. There's not really a lot going on underneath all the blood and snow and Di Caprio doesn't really have to do much beyond being convincingly agonised for most of the film. And am I the only one getting bored of him being tortured by feverish dreams of his past in every goddamn flick?

It's purely because it's time to give Leo the oscar, He should have got it for What's Eating gilbert grape or even The Departed but it's all politics and while some of his performances have been good, there were usually stringer and less obvious competition that made for a better story of winning the statue.

It's like when Michael Douglas got the oscar for a Chorus Line. He said less than a dozen lines in the film and the rest is just sitting there watching people, virtually expressionless, but they gave him the oscar because it was a weak year, an Oscar friendly vehicle (feel good film about the ent industry) and had been a bit of travesty that he hadn't won it for any of his previous performances.

As one critic put it: The revenant is the tale of one man's desperate suffering to win an Oscar.

If I was him I'd just go on a vacation to Siberia and make a "thank you" video for if he wins. As a "oh ok thank you but .. really?".

Just watched 'The Land of the Rings' such an amazing trilogy- highly recommended.

Also for those with kids, I recommend the cartoon ' Dumpo the Mammoth '

I certainly hope so. That would be fabulous Amazon has the Blu-ray combo pack for 9.99 right now, so I just ordered it. Gotta do my part, yo.

I thought Armie did a great job but Alicia Vikander was really damn good. They clearly set it up for the franchise and there's some other good news that might mean the sequel happens....

Armie is Co-starring in Birth of Nation which just got premiered at Sundance.

It's been the runaway success of the film festival, and got so well received that a bidding war broke out over it.

It then broke the record for the most ever paid for an signed film at $17.5m - they're already saying it's a shoe in for next years Oscars, and the situation with this year's oscars will only help propel it further as it's a cracking film apparently.

So if that gets a boost there's more appetite for it's star's other vehicles and hence why the odds are getting better for a TMFU sequel.

Go see Deadpool, lol.

You know, that film has zero appeal to me. I mean like if you gave me a ticket, I'd give it away. I just give zero fucks for a comic book story about a humorous superhero. An R-rated comic book just seems like an Oxymoron; a kids story with an adult rating.

(fuck you should have seen the shitstorm on Reddit when I posted that last sentence lol)

I think comic book movies need to take a hiatus of at least half a decade. Can you imagine the summer blockbuster season rolling around without even one SUPER HERO 3 movie being at theatres? How refreshing.

But who am I kidding, that will never happen. They're Hollywood's main cash cow.

Originally posted by AlphaStarred Wathced 3 films by Gaspar No�: I Stand Alone, Irreversible, and Enter the Void. If you're into some dark, heavy, pretty nihilistic stuff, I recommend. Great cinematography and music, as well. His movies are not something you're likely to forget about for quite some time.

Awesome. I'm a huge fan of his stuff. It's very unique and innovative. You should see his film "love" as well. It's lighter than the others but still very powerful. There's many scenes in his movies that feel so much more powerful and real than other movies imo. Also love has got 3d cumshots.

I've seen it. Yeah, his stuff is very powerful and pretty damned bleak. Very different than most movies, in general.

I liked Love, but I think it's targeted more towards a younger audience - nevertheless, it is powerful and very realistic, indeed.

Mad Max cleaning up the Oscars tonight. Won 6 categories of 10 nominated in so far.

I watched Secret in Their Eyes.
Nice movie (remake), but I had some difficulty recognizing the flashbacks.

Spotlight is a tour-de-force; Respect.

The Revenant is God-awful; rubbish, Leo could have won 'The Aviator' - Long Time ago. This film was simply painful to watch; no substance in the dialogue - DiCaprio is over-the-top. What were they thinking?

The Martian is suprisingly good, in spite of Matt Damon - douche on Mars. Lol. Jobs was excellent, he should have won Best Actor, but who am I to choose the WOscars.

I endured watching 'Our Band is Crisis' with Sandra Bullock, and while her performance was atrocious, the screenwriting is primo though.

I watched The Hobbit movies. Although I enjoyed them because I'm a big Tolkien fan something was off about the movies. I'll have to reread the book. The dialog especially in the last movie seemed bad as the star wars prequel.

PJ went all crazy ass action movies with these. I know his adaptation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy strayed from the novel at times, but The Hobbit film trilogy was egregious.

Anyone disagrees?

Picked up The Hateful Eight on Blu-ray today. Now I just have to find the requisite 3 hours to devote to my love for Tarantino.

I loved Jennifer Jason Leigh's performance in this.

^ Just started watching it today, 55 mins. through - pretty entertaining so far.

Enjoyed The Hateful Eight, saw the 70mm version and didn't mind the runtime. I thought everyone's character was well done and what a gnarly poison scene.

The Hateful Eight was fantastic. The Blu-ray transfer is stunning, so I can only imagine how good the 70mm road show looked!
