arnold layne Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Interstellar. Honestly one of the worst movies I have seen in its entirety. Why was Matt Damon even in it? His character was useless, the movie was too long, and goddammit someone tell Matthew McConaughey to speak his lines. You aren't a mute assbag. 1/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Suspicion (1941) Only the combination of Alfred Hitchcock and Cary Grant can make a movie where 95% of the screen time is newlyweds discussing their finances suspenseful and interesting. It's a nice play on the typical murder mystery formula. Great film with some excellent supporting performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like The Lodger before with Ivor Novello, Hitchock was forced to switch the character because of the star power of the main lead, i.e. you cannot have Cary Grant as a scheming murder.

I think the change actually worked in the film's favour - the audience knows that Cary Grant can't be a murderer but at the same time you're just as unsure as Joan Fontaine (who was terrific and certainly deserved her Oscar). That in itself helped create the suspense. The resolution as a cautionary tale is a bit of break from the "reveal the murderer" norm. It's a fun film thanks to the performances and excellent dialogue. I'll have to check out The Lodger - I haven't seen that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold layne Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 That's because it is. Bond surviving after falling into a waterfall like that is completely unbelievable and absurd. This alone makes Skyfall a bad movie in my opinion. I understand Bond movies are impractical, but that was just bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, posting or even talking about a post 60's James Bond film in a movie thread just shows if you got any taste in movies or not I wasn't watched any "new"James Bond film since 2001 (when i was 13) Then i watched older James Bond's but quickly got bored James Bond means generic turd in my book I would rather watch b movies horror movies from the 70's than ANY James Bond film, it's just a complete waste of time Same applies to the Mission Impossible series Edited February 14, 2016 by Strange Broue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold layne Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Lethal Weapon 3 was worse than the first two. I will watch the fourth one tonight or later this week if I have time. The series was on sale at Target. 1 and 2 are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that it's a remarkably consistent series. It's great that Richard Donner did all four and kept the same cast even down to the most minor role. It's also great that to get all four movies costs about $6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I did a double feature of the first two Terminator films last night since I recently upgraded the series to Blu-ray. What is there to say that can't already be said about these movies? As near to cinematic perfection as you can get. I personally prefer the second but it doesn't matter because they're both on the same level. The self-sacrifice scene at the end of T2 still gets those emotions flowing... until you realize James Cameron borrowed the very same shot when Jack and Cal force Rose onto a lifeboat in Titanic.

James Bond Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Terminator 3 The latest in my mini-marathon. It's a fun action flick but totally misses the feel and storytelling of the Cameron films. I'm fine with the whole "postponed judgment day" thing but their approach was terrible - why cheat Cameron's mythology and say "it's inevitable" when there was technically an arm still leftover in the machine at the end of T2? There's your stronger plot point. I know the Cameron films aren't without their paradoxes but T3 just comes across as lazy. They make John a total idiot (he would clearly know that Arnold is not the same terminator that they destroyed), they get his age wrong in the first thirty seconds of the movie, and the whole thing feels too contrived and convenient. When the T-800 mentions that he was the one who killed future John because his appearance made it easy to trick him, I can't help but feel like that would have made a much cooler movie - T-800 infiltrating the resistance and trying to kill John in the future. Instead, we got a T2 rehash beat for beat and not nearly as memorable. Now, do I torture myself with Salvation or skip to Genisys and pretend T3 and Salvation don't exist?
