Tried to watch This is 40. Made it a half hour with barely a laugh. I can't imagine a more opposite life than what I have. Couldn't relate in any way. That would be ok if it was still funny, but it wasn't.

My wife and I the had the exact opposite experience you did. We could relate to almost every single aspect and found the movie quite enjoyable in that respect.

Opposite for me. Depressingly opposite.

thought it felt authentic for the most part. Like most apatosaurus films it had legitimately funny moments but overall it was one of his weaker films.

I got about half way through this last night. It's awful. I wanted to punch somebody it was so bad - particularly the miserable redheaded actress playing the wife - she was terrible. The writing was brutal. Didn't laugh once. The only worthwhile thing was looking at Meagan Fox - except she didn't even get full topless. Instead we got to see yucky redhead chick's boob get squashed for a mammogram. Miserable.

Apatow needs to take a few years off, maybe just call it a career.

I laughed a lot. My wife dislikes this kind of movie and she laughed quite a bit. Funny movie.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Oz the Great and Powerful - Meh, disappointing. I like Mila Kinus but she sucked donkey balls as a wicked witch. She can't pull off evil and crazy. It was like watching Samuel L in Star Wars, she was just out of place.

I was also expecting to really enjoy the visuals but the CG was just way too cartoony compared to the characters. The people stuck out way too much against the background. Tons of badly noticeable CGI and it was not believable at all that they were actually walking through that world.

4/10

This was surprisingly really funny. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum made for a nice duo.

Just watched the new Riddick and loved it.

Was pleasantly surprised, Vin Diesel continues to impress me by being a much more successful nerd than I'll likely ever be.

I liked this one a lot too. Enjoyable mayhem

The Heat:

I realize McCarthy is like will farrell for me- great in small doses, but wears on me if the movie relies on them. the movie felt long, and seemed to be just filling time for 10mins, have McCarthy go on a rant, repeat. not too surprised, as I didn't get the love for Bridesmaids either, and would say that is the better movie. 5/10.

Pacific Rim:

why didn't I trust my gut? ratings were good for this one for some reason. couldn't even make it through this one.

curious why del toro got a pass on this from critics, but similar movies like battleship and transformers get blasted. I found all to be equally painful.

See, I had a different experience all together with this movie. I saw it in the theater with my wife and 11yr old son and we had a blast. It is such a fun movie. It's got monsters from another dimension, giant voltron-like robots and battle sequences galore. And all of the cgi, from the cities to the mechs and monsters, was so well done I was amazed.I hated transformers, btw. Those movies gave me a headache from all the clanging and bashing and the action was soo poorly done. The difference in film making really stands out between Pacific Rim and Transformers and that's all because of the quality of director. I can't wait for the sequel if there is one.

so is it mostly the visuals for you guys, or did you think the story and acting was that much better?

granted, I only watched a hour, but it seemed like when it was robot vs monster it was dark/watery and I couldn't see much that overly impressive. of course this comes from the guy that is about as anti-cgi as this thread has, so I probably don't have the ability to tell bad vs good.

The visuals certainly played a big part in my enjoyment but I gotta say the story and acting were just fine for what the movie called for. In fact, my impression is that the movie you are watching is precisely the movie Del Toro set out to make.

Del Toro presented an ode to childhood memories that were created from Saturday mornings watching anime centered around mechs coupled with Saturday afternoons filled with Godzilla, Mothra, Gammra and pals. While the characters are somewhat two dimensional and the story not filled with complexity or depth both elements serve their intended purpose well and move the film along in a very satisfying way getting us to the meat of the whole experience- battles between robots and monsters! And yes, the cgi is fantastic and if you stopped watchibg after an hour then you just missed out on the beginning of the best parts of the whole movie. The final 45 minutes is non-stop adrenaline rush and epic, badass battle royale.

Oh yeah, if you have a big screen and surround sound it makes the trip even better!

The story was lean - nothing spectacular. For me it was the visuals. With many CGI movies (Transformers, for example) the visuals seem fake and cheesy. I loved the shading and rendering in Pacific Rim.

Lone Ranger

- Why do they make movies like this? I'm not sure what this was supposed to be - if it's a kid's movie then the main female character shouldn't be running a whorehouse. I just fast-forwarded through most of the last third, which was almost all unrealistic action.

Pacific Rim

- I didn't really care for it and thought the story was very weak, but at least the robots provided something interesting to look at.

Escape From Tomorrow

First off, this psychological horror film is notable for being shot on location at Disneyland without permission from Disney as they're apparently fiercely protective of their intellectual property. This resulted in the film being shot in black and white since it was easier for lighting given they could not use lighting equipment.

As for the film itself, it's definitely beautifully eerie to see Disneyland in black and white, especially the way the film was edited which was very well done. Besides that though I thought the film wasn't that great; the story was disjointed and aimless, the acting was kind of hammy, and overall it was just kind of flat and amateurish, though I'd still liked it decently enough and would say it's worth a watch for its uniqueness alone.

I guess to my eyes I still saw fake and cheesy. Again, any time I see a big CGI movie I just feel like I am watching a video game being played. I was predisposed to not like this movie being anti-cgi and never really got into the Godzilla movies or mech anime. To me it just felt like the exact same summer movie I've seen before, but this time instead of a director people hate (Mr. Bay), it just had a director people love's name attached to it.

Anyway, looks like next week's releases are more my speed and am really looking forward to watching some movies this weekend. We have:

Only God Forgives

Before Midnight

The Way Way Back

The Conjuring

I don't know. Having a 10 year old certainly colors my opinion of these movies, and Rim is a lot better than others in this genre.

"World's End" with Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and company.

Mildly amusing but little else. Interesting enough premise but mostly squandered. I felt like the writing was weak and thinly plotted for an already pretty spare one. Still, there were laughs to be had and the soundtrack was a gem from like 1992-3. Probably the least effective of the trilogy with Shaun>Fuzz>World's End.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Started a thread for it the other day, and Im pretty excited for David O. Russell's upcoming release, American Hustle

 

[Bob Magaw]

saw the trailer for american hustle before machete... bale was unrecognizeable, obviously changed his body again... looks interesting...

noted in its thread, enjoyed machete kills...

last night watched thin blue line... saw before, but long time ago, didn't remember much... directed by erroll morris, brilliant doc, one of best I have seen... I need to see west memphis, which sounds like similar subject matter...

looking forward to only god forgives (director's first since drive?)...

also for family viewing, pacific rim and lone ranger...

Before Sunset:

Seen this a few times, but the wife and I wanted to revisit at least this one before watching Before Midnight. Still love this movie to death. Maybe it is just where I am in life that a lot of things expressed in this movie really hit home. I find this movie to be both highly romantic and sad at the same time. 9/10

The Conjuring:

Simple haunting/possession movie that we have seen a lot of, but out of the more recent releases, I would say that this one was the most effective that I have seen. Got a couple jumps out of me, which is a plus. Just like Insidious, it does take a little dip when they start trying to rid the house of the spirits, but unlike Insidious, I thought it did a lot better job of keeping up a little bit of tension and not going with a complete change of tone in the last act. Again, nothing you haven't seen before, but an effective haunting movie that is one of the better horror movies in the last few years. 7.5/10

The Way Way Back:

I just adored this movie. Again, nothing completely new, and fairly predictable - quiet teen is forced to go to his mom's new boyfriends' beach house for the summer, hates who he is stuck with but finds people at the dumpy water park in down who let him be himself. The actors had a lot to do with it, but this movie hit every note for me. Sam Rockwell is great as always, and Steve Carrell is also good at the prickish new boyfriend. For me, this is exactly what a movie like Adventureland wanted to be, but whiffed on. Could have clicked with me more, having a quiet son (only 7, but could see him turning out like this), but this one might be one of my favorite releases of the year so far. Came out of nowhere for me, as I had not heard of it until very recently. 8/10

So far a great start to my weekend of movies!

We saw Gravity... concise, fun ride, but I'm not sure how it's generating so much buzz and acclaim.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

The Place Beyond The Pines...I can understand the complaints Ive read from reviews of this here and elsewhere, and its usually the same few things because so much of this film was excellent, but I personally disagree with the complaints Ive seen most frequently. I am surprised by many disliking the last act of Pines. While I would agree its not as riveting as the first 2 acts, with how the storyline and the path of the main characters went, as well as the jump in time, I thought the final act fulfilled its purpose masterfully. Without it, the major themes of the first two acts - namely family relationships & the consequences our decisions have on them - would never have been fully realized. The last act to me is what takes this film to the next level and made it great. If Pines is only 90-100 minutes, it is instead just a well made character drama that ultimately falls short with its screenplay. Each act was about 45 minutes, and all of them took some time to really heat up. The last act was no different, and with a focus on newly introduced characters, naturally it took some time to build. While it is 2 hours15min, I didnt think there were wasted scenes here and I have a hard time understanding those who think this film wouldve been better if it was considerably shorter. Last but not least, the length of it also didnt bother me because this was carried by a strong ensemble cast. Gosling and Cooper will get a lot of credit and rightly so, but Dane DeHaan (Gosling's son) and Ben Mendelsohn really stood out in smaller roles, IMO. This will certainly end up being one of my favorites of 2013...4.5/5

I don't like introducing characters near the end of the movie whose sole purpose is to add a little more dramatic weight to what happened before. Doesn't flow well and comes off as a structural error, at least to me.

In general, I agree, but this is almost like 3 separate short films if you will, wrapped into one. I thought the flow from 2nd to 3rd act was fine despite the time jump because of Cooper's aspirations. However, if they just continued where the 2nd act was going - or in another direction with the same characters - with more detail instead of having the final act, youre left with a film whose first 45 minutes would be, for the most part, useless. If they went that route, really the 1st act couldve just been the final bank robbery scene because Cooper knew nothing about Gosling's character, so that entire first act is rendered irrelevant to the film except for that scene in regards to the 2nd act. If you believe the final act and new characters was just to add dramatic weight, then I dont see why you wouldnt say the same about the 1st act had the film stuck with the path it was on.

As I said in my post you replied to, without the final act Pines would just be an above average character drama that is well made but with an incomplete screenplay. The overall key to the movie and what IMO elevated it was the storyline and what it conveyed to the viewer and made you think about. That picture was being painted in the first 2 acts, and completed with the final act.

Saw this and thought it was very good. The only weakness was the AJ character who really overacted.

 

[avoiding injuries]

Captain Phillips is good. Really good.

Saw it Thursday, would watch it again now. I thought 30min had gone by, looked at my watch and it was an hour and thirty.

The first 30-45 minutes are the funniest on screen this year. The second half is average. They should have ditched the end of the world stuff and just done a buddy pic.

Only God Forgives

I don't get the disdain that this most recent Winding Refn film got from critics. It seems most of the hate it has gotten is due to its pacing, but it's really no different than Drive in that regard and the critics loved that movie.

Really great casting/cinematography/soundtrack, etc. etc. I like Winding Refn's description of the film as a 'Western set in the Far East with a modern cowboy hero'; it's a pretty apt description as well imo. A bit more surreal than Drive, but I'd still definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Drive.

One of the best films of 2013 so far imo.

I had the opposite reaction last night. I agree that it is beautifully shot, and live refn's style, but didn't enjoy watching this one at all. could be the surrealistic style I wasn't expecting or maybe that I didn't like or care about what happened to any of the characters. even being 90 mins, I found myself checking the time. curious to see other reactions as more of us see it.

So you watched a movie about giant robots fighting giant aliens but skipped the parts about giant robots fighting giant aliens. Makes sense.
