I love Nolan, but that trailer looks like a bunch of cliches stitched together...

I thought it was a remake of Armageddon for a bit

Interstellar trailer:

As soon as I heard Michael Caine, I thought "Alfred."

Sounds like Transformers: Pushing the Franchise Toward Extinction is absolutely terrible.

AND it's 2:45 long.

Sounds like Transformers: Pushing the Franchise Toward Extinction is absolutely terrible.

AND it's 2:45 long.

I'm absolutely shocked. Shocked, I tell you. What is it about films nowadays that makes the director's feel they need to be so long? You'd think the studios would want shorter running times to make more money. It also reminds me of this quote.

The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.

- Alfred Hitchcock

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I didn't mind the first and third ones. Skipped the second.

Had hopes for this one, but I think I'll skip it.

The only thing worse than a Michael Bay movie is a long Michael Bay movie.

I don't get all the hate for the Transformers movies. I found them largely enjoyable, aside from Shia LeBeouf.

But Godzilla was very good, IMO. Wife and I saw it on our anniversary, and I like what they did with the character.

Pumped for TMNT!

But that's the problem, there's so much Shia LeBeouf. So very, very much.

 

[snogger]

Just returned from the new Transformer movie and we were fully entertained throughout...

as a point of reference I have only watched the first film from start to finish.. just couldn't get into the next two.. but replacing Shia with Walberg was a good move.

 

[Fennis]

I feel like, on a whole, movies have gotten shorter again.

 

[Fennis]

Of the movies listed I have seen Jack Ryan (Pretty good), Robocop (horrible), and Captain America (surprisingly good).

My two favortie movies of the year (so far) have been Chef and then maybe Belle.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I feel like, on a whole, movies have gotten shorter again.

to me it feels like every big comedy movie is 2hrs and action movie are pushing 2 1/2.

I don't mind it. I like when films have more freedom to develop characters and secondary plot lines. It doesn't always work but I like when they have the chance to do more.

That is how long you have to sit in a theater for. Movies are not much different in length but the previews, ads, end credits (Marvel) keep you in your chair.

nope, I am talking running time of the movie.

no comedy should be much more than 90 mins imo, but quite a few suffer from Apatowitis and push the 2 hr mark.

tons of action movies pushing that 2 1/2 hour mark too: batmans, avengers, stupid hobbits, stupid transformers, pacific rim, etc, etc.

a lot of the Academy noms push that mark too.

Not much has changed. Ending credits with The Avengers and others keep you in the seat.

would you get off my damn lawn already?

I am sure it is right. I always forget how long star wars movies, Indiana jones, or others I grew up watching are. point is those are good movies and everything today is crap so it FEELS longer.

Snowpiercer 93% on RT.

I agree there arent as many 90 minute movies, but for awhile there every movie was pushing three hours.

 

[Mario Kart]

Won't say much about it but Transformers is horrible. 2/10 and that is generous.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[snogger]

I think it depends on how many of the previous ones you've seen..

I've only watched the very first one from start to finish so I'm not "burned out" by them.

I enjoyed Walberg's character/family life and was entertained from start to finish..

saying that, I'd still only give it a 6 out of 10 as it went on about 45 minutes longer then it should have.

Boyhood by Richard Linklater

Currently a 9.0 on IMDB, 100% fresh on RT (4 votes) and 96/100 on metacritic (not one under 80).

I cannot wait to see this movie - comes out July 11.

This is a must see. The scope of it is impressive.

An idea of epic proportions would be to do another following a boy for ~5 or more years. Another movie, maybe in a different area of the states following a girl for the same time period then mixing and matching. The ending could go either way... love, death, tragic. Would be epic as well.

USA 10 October 2014 (limited)

 

[FUBAR]

Wife went to Gone Girl last night and said it was one of the best movies she's seen.

Of course, she hasn't seen Star Wars, so take it FWIW.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Some that look good are coming up in the next couple weeks:

Birdman

Whiplash

Fury

I think I will be seeing some movies on my week off of work.

Life After Beth

Zombie comedy? I'm in.

Watched this last week. More of a zamedy (zombie drama comedy). Anyway, I liked it.

 

[NutterButter]

Of the movies listed I have seen Jack Ryan (Pretty good), Robocop (horrible), and Captain America (surprisingly good).

Watched Chef the other night. Very good.

I can't seem to find Whiplash playing anywhere.

 

[Aerial Assault]

Of the ones in the pole, what's still left for Christmas? Hobbit 3 and Mockingjay?

 

[Abraham]

Best picture will be between whiplash and unbreakable

 

[jdoggydogg]

Inherent Vice sits atop this list.

 

[Fennis]

One of my top movies of the year was The Trip To Italy. I think it was right in my wheelhouse for movies. I'm the right age, love Italy, like this kind of humor and could completely relate to the movie. Highly recommend. Steve Coogan and Ryan Brydon both killed.

Ill need to watch the original.

 

[snogger]

Hadn't heard anything before but the trailer looks good:

Miss Meadow

opens November 14th

 

[James Daulton]

[Rohn Jambo]

This one will start filming next month and I hope it makes it to cinema because I find the title most intriguing. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3464902/

The Lobster

Director Yorgos Lanthimos will make his English-language debut with this unconventional love story set in a dystopian near future where single people are arrested and transferred to the Hotel. There, they are obligated to find a mate in 45 days. If they fail, they are transformed into an animal of their choosing and released into the woods. But what happens when a desperate man escapes from the Hotel, flees to the woods where the Loners live, and then falls in love?

Looks interesting and I'm going to check out his movie Dogtooth.

The Lobster livens thing up at this year's Cannes. http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20150515-one-of-the-best-films-of-cannesI may get to see it in theater...
