Don't call me James wrote:Freeza gonna watch Nighcrawler this weekend. Expecting a masterpiece performance from Gyllenhaal. The trailers looks unbelievably insane.

And saw The Judge with Robert Downey Jr. and Billy Bob Thornton. Meh not worth wasting money. 6.5/10.

He plays the role perfectly.. The dialogue is also amazing. Probably one of the best directing debuts in history.

Watched Closer again :bow:

Love the movie and the soundtrack. One of my favorite films of all time. Clive Owen is unbelievable. The whole cast is amazing. The dialogue and directing :bow:

9.5/10

Last night saw Edge of Tomorrow, RED's recommendation. Love the time loop films. Modern day Ground Hogs day indeed :bow:

Reminded me of Source Code as well. Emily Blunt was hot in this ffs :wub:

8.2/10

Also watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Meh 6.5/10. Really bored throughout the film.

And had to watch The Visitor (an indie film) for a Humanities class and surprisingly good. I'd say 8/10. But really really touching if you are in the mood for a good drama. Kind of got me into drumming as well.

Serious about Planet of the Apes? Loved that film tbh, gave it 4,5/5. One my favourites of the year, the first sequence was some of the best cinema all year. Koba favourite villain of the year. Maybe you'd have enjoyed it more in the cinema I reckon, a lot of the aestethics of the film are best enjoyed on a huge screen with great sound.

by RealGunner Mon 3 Nov 2014 - 1:30

Yea agreed about DOTPOTA. Maybe it's because we both watched it in Cinema. The visuals were fantastic along with the story imo. Was definitely a 8/10.

Need to watch Edge of Tomorrow.

I liked the the first movie "Rise of....etc" more. You could be right though, I watched it on my laptop and didn't get to enjoy the aesthetics as you said. But the storyline was pretty garbage.

It's probably also a big reason why Gravity got a lot of hate after it was released on blu-ray/available for DL. Because I didn't hear anything negative about it from anyone until long after its initial release. It was definitely a cinema experience.

by RealGunner Mon 3 Nov 2014 - 1:34

Think Interstellar will suffer the same thing. Most early reviews(non-spoiler) says that movie is goat in terms of visuals and effects. So it will be best experienced in cinema.

I don't understand that sentiment exactly. What are the point of movies? To be entertained I would expect, atleast that's a huge part of it. So if a cinemaexperience valids a great rating and review, why give it a low score just because it isn't stimulating on a pretentious intellectual level?

by RealGunner Mon 3 Nov 2014 - 1:51

I don't think they will review it down because of that. It might just be a recommendation to either tempt more people in going to cinema or just put out a warning for those who might not see a big deal because I don't think Interstellar will surpass TDK, Inception or Memento. If it does then it's because of how aesthetically pleasing it is combined with a potentially a great story(I don't know, just guessing). However many probably might not see it in cinema and they could potentially dislike it as it's different to other Nolan movies and it seems to be a difficult conceptual story while they will also not appreciate how it looks on their 22 inch monitors.

I don't know really. But it's just a theory based on how people might not enjoy films on tv in comparison to cinema.

by Freeza Mon 3 Nov 2014 - 1:55

I only trust some of the reviewers on youtube when getting recommendations. A paper in Denmark gave the John Wick picture a 1/6 rating and listed all the reasons why it was bad, despite it being the intention of the film. It was aware of itself as a cheesy throwback '90s action film.

by RealGunner Mon 3 Nov 2014 - 2:02

I hardly agree with most reviewers tbh. I just get pissed when a movie which hasn't even been released is getting 70 odd percent and forming a general consensus with the mass that, that movie isn't all that and will most likely put people off instead of allowing themselves to form their opinion. Only people I take seriously on movie reviews are RO, you and a mate in real life Razz

because none of you give a shit what other thinks even if it's 95% or more.

I liked Godzilla for example, but most reviewers said it was shit Sad

Godzilla was a great experience tbh, had goosebumps all over my body at that last fight, was well worth it. Still don't get why it gets hate, was enjoyable at worst.

by CBarca Mon 3 Nov 2014 - 8:52

I went to the cinema for both Godzilla and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and really enjoyed both. Don't think either really deserves hate. I'm not gonna say either was incredibly stimulating intellectually, but both were just a blast to watch at the cinema.

Dawn is one of my favorite movies this year tbh

by Vibe Mon 3 Nov 2014 - 14:34

People hate on Godzilla because tastes are different obviously...

I was falling asleep while watching it because for me it was classic American bullshit.If you wanna go OMG dat CGI or see big things smashed you should watch this movie.

On other aspects it's plain average.Only real actor got killed after 15 minutes of screen time,the lead actor had charisma of James Milner while screenplay was so dull you could find better stuff in Coral memes.

That's just my opinion obviously.

Go watch it now, great movie.

Watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes the other night on my laptop and I liked it very much. Very enjoyable. I must say the ape parts are far more interesting than the human parts (scenes) in the movie. I really liked the first one and I was kinda sceptical about this one as I knew James Franco wasn't going to be in it, but Jason Clarke did a stellar job I must say. :bow:

Andy Serkis :bow:

Caeser

Koba, what a villain. :bow:

That fight between Caeser and Koba was one of the most enjoyable things I've seen on screen thus far for 2014.

On Nightcrawler, I can't wait too watch it tbh. As soon as I saw the trailer, I was like ... well Jake Gyllenhaal is going to win the Oscar for this. Lol, I know it's ridiculous to say that off a trailer, but it really looks like this film will be legit as hell and Gyllenhaal will carry it bigtime. He is fast becoming my favourite actor while Leo is on vacation Laughing

On the whole cinematic experience thing. I'm not a regular cinema-goer, give me time to make my own money and I will be in there probably every twice a week Laughing

but I do think that some movies are just made for dat cinematic aura. I do believe movie makers have that in their mind, and some put more emphasises and focus on providing that sensational cinema experience. But really, everyone has their own way of rating and judging movies, and for some visual effects and entertainment rank higher than a stimulating storyline.

Agreed with Freeza on Nightcrawler, one of the best movies this year. Jake Gyllenhaal Proud

You guys are hyping me up for Nightcrawler. Thinking of watching that instead of Interstellar this weekend. That would delay Interstellar to Thanksgiving for me.
