The One
A decent science fiction kung fu flick with crap acting. But hey, I didn't expect award winning line reading, I came for Jet Li kicking the asses of everybody, including himself, across many universes.
Dragnet 1966
Jack Webb could be incredibly preachy and narrow minded when it came to a lot of stuff, but he's still great when it comes to film and TV. Plus Dragnet, as a whole is great, so hey.
Guardians of the Galaxy :nerd:
I may have internally over-hyped it but man was it good. Seeing a full on Thanos was fantastic as he is one of my favorite villains (most of the time) in the MU. No silly half hour plus origin story really helps it too just a brief one for Starlord. It had some really genuinely laugh out loud moments and not just with Rocky whom was great too. Gotta love that Groot!!!Spoiler warning:
Hell I found that even Batista did a good job in his role. I almost never give a movie five out of five so I'll give a tentative 4.5/5
Also finally got around to Taken 2. Didn't know how they could work another way of doing this but well they succeeded and it turned out pretty decent and broke my expectations. Hear they're planning a third but that may be pushing it. Then again that's what I thought with the second so who knows.
4/5
Watched the original Invisible man movie. Pretty entertaining for a movie of that time. It didn't drag as badly as some of the movies of that time did for me. The special effects were brilliant and I was surprised to see effects that look better than some films in the 2000 (example being early cgi)
4/5 stars :D
Kamen Rider J
So weird seeing TyrannoRanger as a Kamen Rider...
Just re-watched Grave of the Fireflies.
Watched Prometheus again, on blu-ray this time.
Edit:
Guardians of the Galaxy.
Spoiler warning:
Men at Work
Actually pretty funny, especially given that it was staring Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez. Also in defiance of being written AND directed by Emilio Estevez.
Serial Mom
An excellent dark comedy.
GN From Outer Space
Yes, I cut short part of the title. Yes, I did it for reasons. No, I don't regret watching it at all, because this short film was amazing.
Blade Runner: Final Cut
Similar to Alien in how everybody gushes over it, yet I was mostly indifferent. I suppose it would have had more of an impact if I had seen it when I was younger... or at release. But then, I wasn't born until 2 years after the original theatrical release of the film, so that was kind of impossible.
20 Million Miles to Earth
That poor alien was innocent in all of this, yet we're supposed to cheer for the humans? Bunch of murdering savages, especially when they freely admit that it's not aggressive unless provoked. And even when it was, it mostly backed away and made all kind of warning sounds. It even ran away most of the time. But they killed it anyway, because it was 1957 and the Americans were always right and just.
Johnny Mnemonic
Not as bad as I had heard it was. But still, it's hilarious how little storage he had in his head, especially for 2021.
Spaceballs- It gets funnier every time I watch it.
Robin Hood:Men In Tights
I watched Oldboy. The original Korean one. Way overrated movie, I've heard somebody claim it's the single best movie ever... I'd give it a 3/5, it was ok. The concept was great, it just wasn't that well done. I know there's a US remake, but I doubt it'd be any better. Maybe if I just watched the US one first I'd enjoy it better, but I've spoiled the plot now :|
That movie made me dream of becoming a garbage man as a kid. It actually still would be my dream job, but sadly the job no longer exists in that form. Now garbage men just drive around in trucks with mechanical arms that scoop and dump the bins. They don't even go out in teams anymore, just one guy driving all day every day. Being a cabbie would be a better job than that.Quote:

Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
Shock Waves (1977).
Karateci Kiz (1973).
Robot Jox
A great little movie with glorious practical effects and models with a sort of decent post apocalypse nuclear war setting. I've heard people talk about how this movie isn't that good, but I don't understand what their problem is.
Yeah people have always hated on that movie but it isn't that terrible really.Quote:

Alien. The first one.
Recently saw Dumb and Dumber To. Pretty decent movie, not as good as the first, but not bad.
Not a movie, but meh.
I started re-watching Breaking Bad. As of yesterday, I'm on the fifth episode.
Nazis at the Center of the Earth
What other movie has a transformer cyborg Hitler with a laser cannon in his chest? None, that's how many!
Android Insurrection
The cheapest, lamest film I have ever seen. Not even The Asylum can match this.
The good, the bad and the ugly.
Found my favourite movie :cool:
Mom and Dad Save the World
Jon Lovitz as dictator of a planet full of idiots? What's not to love?!
Birdemic: Shock and Terror
I... I just... no. No. Finally a movie that makes MANOS look like a competent piece of film making.
Casshern (live action 2004 film)
I have no idea what I saw.
Also, it seems I never mentioned that I watched Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen and Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z about a month ago. Well, I did.
永遠の0 (aka Eien no Zero, aka The Eternal Zero) 2013.
What can I say about this film...some parts made me cringe, I didn't like the actor that played the grandson or even that particular character.
But besides that I was fairly impressed with the film overall. I had read a little about it beforehand and many people have been critical of it for a wide variety of reasons.
I was close to tears on several occasions.
Dinosaur Island
Still not as bad as Birdemic, but it came real close.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
A good, albeit flawed film.
Went through the 4 Brosnon Bond movies recently. Still good :top:
I AM INVINCIBLE!!!!!!
Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959)
It could have done without the nearly 50 minute wind up time before they actually got under the ground, and it could have really done without the lizards as dinosaurs and/or monsters, but it was still an overall fine film. And of course, it's the best movie with a duck as a spelunking party member, I can tell you that much.
The Flight That Disappeared
Yet another film that had a nearly 50 minute wind up that it could have done without. I was expecting a lengthy ethical and philosophical discussion about the nature of man's desire to create weapons of destruction and how it would affect the future of the world. Instead I got some people hanging out in a rock filled area with a smoke machine going full blast saying the future may or may not happen and that three people were guilty of a potential crime against life due to them having a potential part in making a weapon that may potentially destroy the world. Then the last few minutes is all about it being a dream, but not really.
Sort of like Contact, only without the big impressive device thingy.
Invisible Invaders
"Hm, we have this alien invasion flick idea, but the kids these are are also getting into zombies... so how do we work with this? I know! The aliens can turn dead bodies into zombies! BRILLIANT!"
And then they made a horrible movie.
The Day The Earth Caught Fire (1961) remastered and restored.
Total Recall (1990) Ultimate Rekall Edition.
The Interview (2014).
Galaxy of Terror
A half decent Alien knock off with glorious practical effects and sets. The last few minutes had the vague beginnings of a plot beyond everybody just being murdered, yet it was never expanded upon.
Starcrash
I'm pretty sure any given episode of MST3K had a higher budget than this film.
Interstellar (2014).
Really long and at least half of it was boring. Maybe more :shrug:
I wouldn't say it's a good movie.
Battle Beyond the Stars
Actually a pretty great little cheap film from 1980 which was shamelessly riding the wave of much more popular films like Alien and Star Wars. The characters weren't the strongest and the pacing could have used some work, but it didn't take too much away from the movie. At least for me. Glorious practical effects, characters who, as I said weren't the strongest yet still managed to make me feel something and proved, if slightly, interesting, a bad guy who chopped body parts off of prisoners to graft onto himself, actual planet side combat in a generally space based film... it's worth a watch.
Not of This Earth
Bare breasts EVERYWHERE.
Basic Instinct
I was underaged when it came out, and largely forgot about its existence when I was old enough to properly watch it. Luckily I somehow didn't spoil the movie in the last 20 years despite how iconic the movie is, I had no idea where the movie would go. Going into the movie totally blind, holy fuck, terrific movie.
Spoiler warning:
2001: A space oddysey. What an epic movie.
Fury (2014)
Moontrap (1989).
Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising
Not even five minutes in and I already hate the "heroes" for the massive spite they showed when they blew up a statue of Megatron after his death. May as well also get to work removing any and all information about him before he became the leader of the defeated faction as well, just to ensure the future only remembers him as the bad guy!
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014).
Unbroken (2014).
I went to see that about a week ago, good movie.Quote:

Robin Hood: Men In Tights
Need I say more about this awesome movie? :wacko:
Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift
No comment on this one, though Vin Diesel at the end just made me go awe.
The Muppets: Most Wanted
It's a nice movie but most portions of the movie did not made me laugh or giggle.
Taken 3.
Still doing a good job with these!!!
3.5/5
Haha Mel Brooks is great.Quote:

Watched The Neverending Story tonight for the first time in years.
Birdman, it was exactly as I expected, with no serious differences.
