I would say that compared to the Marvel-Disney films it was about as good as Ant-Man and Winter Solider. I prefer X2 and DoFP from the Fox films (8/10s for me). You're right. I would consider Deadpool as good as Ant-Man. I had more fun with the latter to be honest, but I wasn't rating them on the sole "omg so funny" basis. Winter Soldier remains the best M-D film for me. Loved DoFP and First Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Dead Pool they really went out of the way to promote it, but while watching it, it was funny, but not out of the world. Yep, I expected something better. The hype was incredible. There's no game-changing going on with that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I'd seen it before. It is completely ahead of its time in its depiction of New York ethnic types. 64ish? We are not far away from those Bette Davis Uncle Tom servants baking the apple pie chronologically, yet here you have not only the first nudity scene in a major film, but a nudity scene from a black prostitute. And then there is the depiction of post-Holocaust trauma in a French New Wave manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nulla Lex Ink. Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Finally got around to watching "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" the other day. Pretty decent movie, though it doesn't top the first one. The quips and the pacing were still good, but it seemed a bit too unintentionally cheesy at some points, which I feel like the first one avoided pretty well.

DieselDaisy Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Fail Safe If you have seen Strangelove, you have to see this, very much Strangelove's more serious cousin. Gripping psychological cold war thriller with a chilling ending. Network Wonderful satire and unbelievably crazy acting performances from Dunaway, Finch - just about everyone in the film to be honest. Although it is very much a 1970s America piece, post Nam/Watergate, etc., it is also weirdly prescient to our modern age also. Yes it is not the most taut or structured of films, it is a bit all over the place in truth, but you can forgive it this.

Bumblefeet Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) Watched quite a few films yesterday; THE VISITOR Poignant drama about a lonely college professor who finds a Syrian refugee couple in his second apartment and decides to help them. Stars Walking Dead's Michonne. An ok independent-type movie type deal. Horrible Bosses Felt like the movie couldn't make up its mind between comedy or black comedy, but still had some laughs and a good cast. And I usually hate Jennifer Anniston in movies, but here she was great, as was Kevin Spacey. THE INTOUCHABLES French movie about a rich quadriplegic who gives a young black youth from Paris a job as caretaker. Overall pretty funny and uplifting feel good movie with great chemistry between the two leads. Edited March 12, 2016 by Bumblefeet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up, didn't even know it had a sequel but will avoid. Not in the mood for another "hangover 2" experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Went and saw The Brothers Grimsby on Friday night. I thought it was pretty good, probably my favorite SBC film besides Borat. The elephant bukkake scene was ridiculously over the top, but hilarious. Mark Strong deserves some sort of award for being able to keep a straight face through it all.

J Dog Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Creed. Two thumbs up. And the little making of doc with Stallone talking about the first Rocky and going to Creed was worth the watch too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like I said I'd probably rank it second to Borat of his films. Definitely better than The Dictator, even though I liked that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
