Black Mass (2015) - 5/10 fell asleep near end. but movie is not bad just mega boring for me

Spectre (2015) - 7/10 A decent Bond film made in the style of Ian Fleming's 007 movies. Wasn't as impressive as Casino Royale or Skyfall but it definitely had its moments. Big plus for cinematography and editing.

Crimson Peak - 6/10
Pretty OK thriller/horror. It managed to create atmosphere of discomfort. Chastain who I usually like didnt really fit in this movie tho.

The Walk - 6/10
Good biopic, Gordon-Levitt did really well in the lead. Very energetic performance. The movie was made especially for exciting 3D viewing but I didnt think the 3D was that great.

A.K.B. · Post by **A.K.B.** » 7 Nov 2015, 13:15

Fun fact, I took one of the composers for Crimson Peak to lunch a couple months back. As soon as I watched the movie I told him I'd shoot him if he wrote the repeated piano notes!

Spectre (2015) - 5/10
I went to cinema to enjoy, but have to say that I could better go to McDonalds and fill myself with BicMacMenu instead. It was comparatively decent, but overall I don't think that Bond movies are somehow quality films. This was just another piece which was kinda meh, watchable, but not that great after all.

American Sniper (2014) - 7/10
Pretty enjoyable, tense, sand-packed and american-freedom-patriotism-heroism-packed movie. Maybe a bit too much "national spirit", but that's just typical american, isn't it? Was a good watch, tho.

Cinderella (2015) - 7/10
Very nicely done fairytale, would watch with my daughter. Good cast, well acted. Everything that should have been glamorous, was glamorous, what should have been good was good and so on... so pretty nice overall.

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014) - 5/10
This was pretty much a joke. Like, for real. Was funny, but was ridiculously weird. And bad.

Papillon (1973) - 8/10
Depressingly interesting film. I liked the camera. I liked the acting. Was good.

Everybody's Fine (2009) - 6/10
Pretty decent, even I don't usually watch this kind of movies.

Still Alice (2014) - 7/10
Pretty depressing. But I guess pretty accurate. Dunno if I recommend to watch this... Its not like it's a waste of time, but I just didn't find it that much entertaining, even it was pretty good.

Tigro · Post by **Tigro** » 27 Nov 2015, 22:42

Jurassic World (2015) - 5/10
Cult saga and all, but filmmaking-wise it's a cliché fest.

Jagten (2012) - 9/10
The drama it represented has left so strong emotion in me, that I was forced to shed tears. Greatly directed, well acted, good focus on right aspets. Very very good. Will soon rewatch.

Now going to watch Inside out, so I guess I will still need some napkins...

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 28 Nov 2015, 02:02

Meru: 5/10
Was pretty oke documentary I guess, just not the most interesting thing in the world, like kinda uneventful maybe.

The Disappearance of Alice Creed: 4/10
Kinda bad. Idea was maybe oke, but as always stupid characters and annoyed by all the actions of people.

The Woods: 3/10
Pretty stereotypical horror stuff -> bad

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials: 2/10
While the first movie wasn't spectacular or particularly good, at least it kept my attention enough and it had a fraction of excitement going for it despite all the dumb things there. This sequel however, not so much. Absolutely retarded.

Ted 2: 6/10
If not expecting anything beyond the surface of this, will probably enjoy it for what it is. Some funny moments and whatnot.

Ant-man: 6/10
Pretty overhyped. Yet better than expected. Was overall oke. A bit dumb maybe but oke.

Circle: 6/10
I have some guilty appreciation of these "people in enclosed space" type of movies, so maybe liked it more than others would. Usually littered with retarded people and hating every character, this was at least a change of pace in that aspect. Disappointing ending though ruined a lot of it for me.

Mississippi Grind: 5/10
Not super terrible, but somewhat predictive the whole way through, and characters were awful.

The Seven Five: 4/10
Interesting subject matter, but not terribly interesting documentary. Also had this really weird approach of glorifying the actions somehow and presenting the people interviewed in some strange positive light, I don't know how to explain.

Goon: 5/10
Was oke, but wasn't expecting anything more than that either so I didn't mind it too much. Pretty sure you will know the entire movie based on just reading plot and knowing what type of movie it is. Absolutely nothing new.

What We Do in the Shadows: 7/10
Had some hilarious moments and I quite liked it. Struggled with inconsistency in the humour I guess a bit, with a lot of unnecessary scenes that weren't really funny or added anything to the movie. Definitely worth a watch though.

Midnight in Paris: 8/10
Woody Allen always hit or miss with me, and had put this off for a long time as I wasn't really sure I'd get into it or what kind of movie it'd be beyond the main plot of it. Fucking loved it though, time went by really fast and I wish it was much longer, enjoyed it all the way through.

Made in America: 4/10
Documentary about the history and things leading up to crips and bloods in LA. Had some really interesting insight into the whole situation, but unfortunately it was just boring as fuck in the end.

Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb: 5/10
I don't know why, but I quite enjoyed these movies so far even though they aren't very good. This was definitely the low-point of the series so far. Still oke though.

Magic Mike: 4/10
I had some hopes this might actually not be that bad, and thinking there's probably a lot of guys just rating it 1 because "gay lolol!111" etc., but I ended up being disappointed as it was indeed quite bad.

La dolce vita: 1/10
Jesus fuck, had to turn off after some 20-30mins because it was so fucking boring and idiotic. I really would like to give these kind of movies a chance, there must be some reason why people like them so much, but honestly I watch so much stuff that I can't be arsed looking past movies that makes me want to turn it off every minute of it.

Tigro · Post by **Tigro** » 28 Nov 2015, 02:41

Inside Out (2015) - 9/10
Beautiful, cute, and adorable. Feelings everywhere. But it ended sooner than I expected. I was so pulled to the story I didn't realise how much time has passed already.

Hunger Games: The Mockingjay Pt. II - 4/10
Dunno, bad. Underperformed, made exclusively to earn cash (which I naively gave), story is as shit as book was, end was totally messed up imo.

John · Post by **John** » 29 Nov 2015, 23:42

Bridge of Spies - 7/10
Strong 7. Didn't fall asleep, which is good. Interesting movie made by competent people.

Has anyone seen Sicario? How much Spanish is there in this movie?
I want to see the movie but the person I am going with doesn't speak Spanish and Danish and there will be Danish subtitles :S

Boomer · Post by **Boomer** » 9 Dec 2015, 08:51

Benicio Del Toro has a few scenes where he speaks spanish but except for that everything is in English I believe.

Not even a fan of Star Wars.

Kazan · Post by **Kazan** » 17 Dec 2015, 22:50

Star Wars: The Force Awakens: 5/10
don't know much about star wars so many things were weird, but there few fun moments in movie.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens: 10/10

Idk, i loved it a lot. It had very very similar plot as IV, but overall it is not just good old Star Wars - it is the best one out of the 4 "recent ones" (read: made when I was alive) and it had some extremely strong moments (all including Kylo Ren). It is quite hard to compare it to the original trilogy, coz there's so much time inbetween, so I ain't gonna do it. Btw, I am a SW fan, but not a hardcore one.

I know I am giving it 10/10, but it was extremely highly expected (by many, me included) and it met the expectations or even surpassed them! I am so glad it all worked out and there's gonna be new new trilogy. 1st part was just amazing. I just hope they ain't gonna blow it up in the last one

Ruben · Post by **Ruben** » 21 Dec 2015, 01:39

Castaway on the Moon: 10/10

Truly amazing gem from South Korea. I saw it in the cinema when it was released in Norway, and was quite simply blown away. It is not like anything I have seen before or since. It's engaging, dramatic, funny, romantic and at times just plain weird. The premise itself is hilarious. If you're wondering what film to watch next, this is the one.

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 21 Dec 2015, 22:51

Racing Extinction: 4/10
Seemingly a decent documentary, but there's this feeling of it being extremely one-sided and distorted a bit. While you can sort of get behind the idea of the stuff in this, can't help but feel the people in it are sort of naively circlejerking themselves with some stuff. Dunno. Not very exciting anyway.

+1: 6/10
Could almost give it a 7, was far more enjoyable than I expected going into it. Was pretty funny and decently entertaining, and completely different than what I prepared myself for after reading the plot. Lots of similar movies has been made around the same topic, but this added a little extra twist to it in some way I guess.

Homme Less: 6/10
Interesting character, despite finding it hard to like him. Guy seems sort of delusional or narcissistic, yet seems to have some self-awareness about his situation and stuff.

Absolutely Anything: 5/10
Basically Bruce Almighty more or less.

The Killing Room: 4/10
Totally underwhelming and crappy writing like all of these type of movies seem to have. Nothing new or exciting here.

Repeaters: 6/10
Thought this was pretty decent after having extremely shitty expectations of it based on rating and plot, which sounded terribly unoriginal. Actually ended up giving it higher than its average rating. Totally decent movie and while what happened wasn't super unexpected, the action and events were still exciting or interesting enough that it didn't matter too much.

Dorian Gray: 5/10
I don't know how close this is to the book compared to the older version (or any of the million tv movies and shit for that matter), so maybe it might actually be a better representation of the book for all I know. It does however sort of suck compared to the strictly superior in my eyes 1945 version (which I gave an 8 as well!).

Everest: 6/10
This was pretty mediocre. Felt like there was just about zero tension or excitement, despite being a dramatized version of real events to some degree, and in such a setting. Decent enough if you're bored I guess.

A Very Murray Christmas: 3/10
This sounded like it could be sort of cool, as Murray is awesome and the idea of him having this sort of short special with other celebrities and stuff could be quite funny. Oh how wrong I was. This was so fucking boring and uninspiring.

The Visit: 7/10
Again rated more than its average. Was way better than expected and I quite liked it. Guess there's just a lot of Shamlongdongs haters out there.

Ex Machina: 8/10
I remember putting this on my list and it sort of went by unnoticed, figured it might be decent and knew I'd watch it some time later. Wish I had done so a lot sooner. This was sooooo good and another I rated higher than average on. Probably helped I went into it more or less clueless about it. Really took me by surprise and was gripped every second of it.

Sicario: 7/10
Eeeeeeh... maybe more of a 6, but had some great cinematography at times and some really good moments to make up for the other lackluster parts. Meh/cool, not quite sure. But worth a watch for sure if you just want some decent suspenseful action.

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension: 4/10
Certainly not the worst in the series, though that's not saying much. I don't know, but I always like these for some reason no matter what. They're still objectively quite bad, but if you liked any of the other ones in the series, no reason not to watch this.

Pascal · Post by **Pascal** » 24 Dec 2015, 15:34

Star Wars: The Force Awakens: 8/10

As a huge fan of SW I was angry I couldn't get tickets for the premiere. I saw the movie one day later. Avoiding the Internet as much as possible I went to cinema with no spoilers etc. And the film was amazing. I was surprised how well Disney managed to capture the climat of old trilogy. Well, yes, main plot was kinda familiar but can't say it was copied scene by scene from New Hope. Similiar events (e. g. droid carrying important message) were here to bring some nostalgy and I didn't feel bored at any moment of the movie which happens rarely. New actors were very good (I mean Daisy Ridley and John Boyega), their acting was really natural considering it's the first major movie for most of them. Yes, even Kylo Ren. The guy has badass appearance, at least with the mask on, but not everybody has to be pretty or handsome. Adam Driver played well (maybe overacted in some scenes but I don't share opinion of most people that he played bad) and is an interesting character beacuse it's unusal for evil guy to lean to light side in Star Wars, mostly it's other way around - good guy gone bad. I have huge expectations for this man. Great to see the old guys in shape, at least Mr Ford - too little to play for Mrs Fisher and Mr Hamill. I loved BB-8 (anyone didn't?) and pretty Oscar Isaac aka Poe Dameron had so supporting, not to say episodic, role because he seems to be mega character. I could talk and talk about the movie but I said most of what I wanted to say. If you're SW fan then watching this is mandatory, if not - go watch it anyway, you're gonna love it for its humour, action and many other things.

The Night Before - 5/10
Watched it the night before ;o Had a few funny moments and I somewhat enjoyed it for what it is but I can't really go any higher than 5.

Kazan · Post by **Kazan** » 25 Dec 2015, 20:20

Point Break (2015) - 7/10
Mega nice movie. First half was a bit boring (maybe because i was tired) then ending (final 20-30 mins) was super intense and cool. Maybe never seen so beautiful scenes with mountains, oceans and extreme tricks. Movie was in 3D and it looked nice for my eye (some ppl say it was shit 3D as always but i disagree). Story was simple which not very important here imo, but mega magnificent sometimes. Also need to mention quality sound effects. Will watch Point Break of 1991 year after seeing this.

skint0r · Post by **skint0r** » 26 Dec 2015, 11:24

wtfffffffffffffffffff Kazan bane, how can watch remake before original?!!! also bane mans for remaking, sik best movie, perfect already no need remake

Sinister 2: 3/10
lol so bad. The first movie was at least half-decent for a horror movie, this was just shit. dumb as fuck bogeyman dude and retarded story zzzzz.

The Martian: 8/10
It was pretty good, though maybe a bit overhyped. Really more a 7.5 for me, but it's like it deserves more than just 7 so 8 it is. Definitely kept my attention and was pretty exciting enough throughout, if not a bit predictable story and events. Cool enough though, goad mov.

Good Kill: 6/10
Went in pretty blind with zero expectations, so it turned out to be an alright movie. Really nothing revolutionary here, but didn't hate it so oke.

Dope: 8/10
I must be going soft, yet another movie I rate thigher than average. This was a really nice surprise, fucking loved the whole atmosphere and theme of it. Felt so well made and put together. Reminiscent of such classic "boygang adventure" movies from 80s/90s. Also mah nigga a$ap rocky yeeeeeee, was like wtf when saw him in movie since had no idea he went into any acting and he did pretty good in this role. Maybe i'm just a fanboy of his tho. This was really awesome and instantly loved it from the get-go.

Bone Tomahawk: 6/10
Pretty solid western movie, not often you see those these days. Kurt Russel looking badass as fuq, and Patrick Wilson oke man, started loving him in all his roles these last years. Liked most of the movie and it had some oke pacing and tension, even if it wasn't super original or very surprising. Just had this nice feel to it somehow.

Hotel Transylvania 2: 3/10
I didn't mind the first movie, actually it was surprisingly oke since I thought it would be shit. This sequel was however quite shitty. Lacked the little charm the first movie had, and wasn't really funny at all ever, nor especially cute or sad or anything. Just very meh, if even that.

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans: 2/10
Apparently one of the best silent movies there is, and also one of my few remaining hurdles in the top250 list. Seems this one is never going away so had to finally see it now that I'm just waiting for the current movies in the list to come out so I can see them. Basically hated it, and I have no idea how this is rated so highly. Story is fucking laughable and the characters are a joke, even for those times it felt so unreal what was happening. Blergh.

Focus: 5/10
oke Will Smith, get ur shit together pls. Been in so many bad movies now. This one wasn't mega terrible, but average at best still. Just your basic con-man movie really, super unoriginal and more or less no surprises. Some oke scenes but that's about it. Didn't hate it or anything, just completely underwhelming. Maybe oke background movie or if just bored and need something super easy-going to watch.

Castaway on the Moon: 6/10
It had some charm and funny moments for sure. Idea was pretty cool, but I don't know, something was missing. Usually dig Korean movies but it was kind of meh for me. Maybe more of a 6.5.

Tigro · Post by **Tigro** » 27 Dec 2015, 19:08

Captain America: The first Avenger (2011) - 6/10
Was ok movie, but 6 is just enough for this. Some cheesy stuff, some patriotism, a bit of good humor and that's it. Oh yeah, Scarlett Johansson <3

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) - 7/10
Better than the first one, which was a bit of a surprise for me.

Juno (2007) - 8/10
I really loved this movie. No need to say that Ellen Page is do damn cute, she plays well, smiles nicely and all that. The screenplay was decent, Cera played the exact wtf-am-I-doing-here-guy he should.. just perfect. Good jokes (when you know that Ellen is gay, the jokes are even funnier), good plot. Makes you think about things after you finish it. Bonus points for trivia facts such as "was filmed in 30 days and depicts all four seasons" which is brilliant. Decent 8, would give even a 9 but when comparing to 9-tier, it's just a bit below. Very good.

The Equalizer (2014) - 5/10
Started as a decent movie, and turned into a ridiculously funny bloodbath. I had to laugh out loud on this. Wasn't boring or such, just so ridiculous I can't take it seriously.

Les Misérables (2012) - 9/10
Amazing, loved the songs, loved the cast, loved the play, loved the costumes, knew the plot, so was focused on other features which were great. It was kinda long but didn't feel bored at all.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) - 8/10
It maintained the classic feel, I was very pleased. I got that chest trembling feeling at times, which indicated that it hit my feels. Wasn't really that original, but as we agreed with friends - J.J. made this as kind of a gateway from old to new Star Wars. He pleased the fans, and now is trusted enough to try something new and unseen. At least I hope so. I started to like the new characters, especially Rey (and BB-8 ofc, if someone doesn't like BB-8, he is a sociopath or what). Gonna get some fancy poster of her to have someone to look at from my bed.

Get Hard: 3/10
Not very funny at all and extremely by the books.

(T)ERROR: 3/10
Main guy is a really narcissistic person who seems to exaggerate everything and just makes this whole thing feel very unreal and less than it's made out to be. zzzzz

My Dinner with Andre: 8/10
Another I give higher than avg. Can totally see why people could hate this, but I just loved everything about it. Had such a perfect mood and the storytelling and characters were great.

Meet the Patels: 7/10
Was pretty funny and somewhat interesting, even if it's played up a bit for the camera, being a comedic documentary type of thing.

Villmark 2: 3/10
The first movie was actually pretty decent. This was one of the crappiest things I've seen in a long time. The writing is absolutely horrible, it's such a complete joke. Could have been some interesting premise, but it really feels like the situations, events and dialogue was written by some teenager. Just watch the million times better version that is Session 9, which they very obviously tried to mimic.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.: 3/10
Felt like I had watched a different movie, how does anyone even remotely like this shitfest? It was so cringe-worthy and a complete joke. So fucking bad.

Burnt: 6/10
Not super bad, but not very good either. Extremely predictable all the way through, but oke still.

The Hateful Eight - 7/10
We all know how it goes with Tarantino's movies, and this is no exception at all. I didn't know anything about the movie before I went to the cinema, just that it's S.L.Jackson, Tarantino and some other cool guys. Not that it is a bad movie or anything, but I can not call this a cinematic masterpiece with great internal message or so. However, I enjoyed the whole watch, laughed out loud several times, was very entertained. Also, great Morricone soundtrack (performed by Czech national orchestra, kudos to them). Therefore 7 is a reasonable pick imo. Was considering 6,5 or so, but 7 it is. See you in two years, Quentin.

Tigro · Post by **Tigro** » 16 Jan 2016, 02:43

The Revenant (2015) - 8/10
I guess it's a very good movie, much blood and moderate violence, cruel enviromental conditions and stuff. My friends (girls) had troubles watching this and were covering their eyes a lot. I didn't find it that disturbing, and maybe I should.
The camera was great, the set, makeup, costumes, etc. were top-notch. DiCaprio played very decently but imo Tom Hardy had even better performance, that definitely deserves a supporting role Oscar. But Leonardo will get it too, probably.
Since everyone is talking about how awesome this movie is, I had some expectations, but weren't fulfilled completely. I expected some epic survival fight and all that, breathtaking shots, etc. Instead I can say I wasn't entertained enough. I wasn't bored, didn't fall asleep. The movie caught my attention. But I was not really hooked on it that much. Either it was too alegoric for me (even though Birdman was more alegoric but I was able to catch it), or there was no alegory at all. I don't know what message was the movie offering so can't really say what was it really about. But still, the quality of the movie is very high.
Many people will find it disturbing but beautiful simultaneously. I think it was a decently great movie and that's it. Leo, get your Oscar and be happy.

Arlington Road: 4/10
Mega disappoint. Very wtfff feel throughout the whole movie, impsy to take anything in it seriously, felt like everything was such a joke and unbelivably stupid story.

No Escape: 6/10
Just oke enough, was at least somewhat exciting for most of the duration. Maybe a little farfetched some of the stuff going on there and the decision making at times but oke.

The Gift: 3/10
O dear... what a piece of shit overrated movie. So extremely predictable events, and absolutely retardo + unbelievable. Epic bad writing.

The Intern: 7/10
Was surprisingly enjoyable, nothing spectacular or anything but just oke feel good movie without being too serious. Plus Anne Hathaway..........

Experimenter: 5/10
Very meh. Maybe a bit more enjoyable if you didn't already know about the experiments and stuff, I don't know. Felt like zero meaning to anything in it and hard to get attached to anything.

Straight Outta Compton: 6/10
Was super stoked for this, but was not particularly good. Hard to say how much of the events were true and not of course, but stuff felt a bit overly dramatized at times. Still enjoyed it though, was decent casting and stuff.

Autism in Love: 4/10
Was hoping this would be a little more interesting, but the stories weren't really too exciting and the people in the documentary were sort of boring.

Spectre: 5/10
zzzzzz, wow. Heard so much talk about this being the best new bond movie and it was equally shitty as the rest of them. dragged out like crazy and was boring as shit. bond character felt even more like a joke now even though this evolution is the most serious one in its intention. enjoyed nice title song + opening and waltz only, rest pretty skippable.

Bridge of Spies: 7/10
Didn't have too many expectations out of this one and was surprised by it to some extent. Was just hoping it wouldn't be super boring, and turned out to be somewhat catchy and kept my attention throughout most of it.

Been trying to catch up on the Oscars nominations:

Joy -7/10
I'm not a superfan of the Lawrence, Cooper, Russell combo. It's quite up and down. Silver Linings was good, American Hustle was a sleeping pill and Joy quite enjoyable. It had a good cast and kept me interested throughout.

Carol - 6/10
Quite slow-paced (not necessarily negative, just saying). Blanchett good as always, Mara too. Their Oscars nominations I can accept after seeing the movie. Didn't fully grip me and keep me interested.

The Big Short - 6/10
Haven't seen much of The Office but I can imagine the camera work is pretty much the same in The Big Short. In and out of focus, zooms, talking to the camera etc. The subject is high level economics and it was quite hard to follow the lingo. They did their best trying to explain it in various ways though. Can somewhat understand the Oscars nominations. Not mega-impressed however.

The Cobbler - 5/10
Went into this expecting nothing. Ended up being a nice 90 minute entertainment. At least wasn't bad.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas - 5/10
I remember when this came, I was subscribing this swedish movie magazine and they gave high praise to this movie and I've been wanting to see it since then, 2008. Haven't actively searched for it but it's now to be found on NetFlix so I gave it a try today. First of all, all actors are speaking flawless english though they are portraying germans. That bugged me. Second, it's too short. Didn't get any connection to any of the characters in that short time. Third, the cast was so-so, but the boy in the lead was pretty good.

Hateful Eight and The Revenant next weekend maybe.

The Revenant - 10/10 (9.5/10)
Such an awesome movie, the best Ive seen in quite a while. Beautiful visuals, long continous scenes with great camera work, intense, intriguing, great acting. It really lived up to my high expectations (12 Academy Award nominations, come on). Even though I hade been working 13h prior to the movie I hade no trouble staying sharp and awake waiting to see how the movie would unfold. It will be mega interesting to see if Inarritu will be the Academy Award winner for the 2nd year in a row. DiCaprio could very well win his Oscar as well.

My first 10 in just over 2 years.

Hořící keř (Burning Bush) (2013) - 10/10
For John it was the Revenant, for me, this miniseries (or rather a prolonged 3-part movie) is a 10/10 experience. Great (true) story, great acting, atmosphere and everything. It's situated in Czechoslovakia, and touches our lives very closely. Amazing, amazing.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) - 4/10
Well, disappointingly weak. Having the apes talk and stuff... idk, it was too cringeworthy.

Málmhaus (2013) - 6/10
Better than some average. Had that kind of 'art' in it... You know, burning churches and such.

Hercules (2014) - 3/10
What a shit. Total cringe and uninteresting, simply poor. Very poor. But now when I looked ad Legend of Hercules, I guess this was an entertaining movie. Will need to check the latter as well, just to compare.

Is it only me or did the IMDb movie layout change several days ago? Can't get used to it.

The Martian (2015) - 9/10
Wow, so well made movie. It felt trustworthy, it was funny and I like Matt Damon. All the strategies they came up with at NASA was cool.

Finally watched The Force Awakens and I was quite pleased with it. For some reason I was very skeptical and expected it to suck a lot, but it actually felt like a legit Star Wars movie. Of course I noticed some minor things I could complain about, but there were no serious problems like all the ridiculous love scenes in Attack of the Clones for example. The new main characters were surprisingly likeable, the confused villain was pretty interesting and seeing Luke at the end was simply awesome. Very excited for the next one. I guess I should watch Episode 3 in the meantime (I missed it because at the time I was in the movie snob stage or something and I mostly watched obscure art-house films

).

Oscar films...

Brooklyn - 4/10
Wouldn't recommend to anybody, illogical and stupid. You don't feel chemistry between anyone in this movie which kinda sucks since it's suppesed to be romance. Acting was merely OK, gave 4 only due to general atmosphere, costumes etc.

Room - 7/10
Nice idea, not so nice execution. The movie was good and somewhat unique but some actions don't feel like probable. Little Jack, hands down, overshadowed Ms. Larson, truly masterpiece performance by the kid.

Big Short - 7/10
Dunno, maybe rated it a little too high. Sorry, I'm not into all these financial stuff so did not understand 90% of terms used in the movie. They tried to use celebrities to explain some things but wouldn't say they managed to do it. Certainly film editing was unusual. And nice acting, especially by Mr Bale and Mr Carrell.

The Revenant - 7/10
It was good. Only good. The movie presented some breathtaking pictures, that's for sure. The revenge was schematic as fuck. As for the Oscar - let's say DiCaprio didn;t fuck up anything. He played what he had to play. Seriously, Hardy was much better, even Gleeson was better. That's not the role for Oscar, if he'll win, it's because weak competitors. Sad but true.

Creed - 7/10
Schematic but enjoyable, typical hot headed young man etc. Sly played surprisingly good, was pretty amazed by his acting. I hope he'll get the Oscar, he deserves.

Joy - 7/10
Again, 7/10. Typical O. Russell, though there were some unusual things like no romance etc. The story was not really entertaining but JLaw played well - no overacting, I'm surprised how she managed to portray her character.

Chappie (2015) - 4/10
I didn't find it very original, not even talking about that I just couldn't make myself believe what was happening. You know, when looking at The Martian, you actually think it is somehow plausible, but this was just pure yolofantasy. Die Antwoord was a bit of a plus in terms of colorfullness, but that's all.

The Giver (2014) - 6/10
Even when it was just a mediocre piece with semi-pleasant acting, at one moment it gave me feels so I rate it a bit above average. Again, the idea itself isn't very new, which lowered my rating a lot. It just feels like I am watching a movie I have seen a long ago again, just my memory of the details seems blurred.

World War Z (2013) - 6/10
Not a fan of zombie theme; this was somehow watchable and I wasn't really that bored.

Kolja (1996) - 8/10 I really love this movie, it's funny in the way I like it, and again is close to my home and situation. And is masterfully produced.

Gone in 60 seconds (2000) - 4/10
Heh I haven't seen this in a while, and rewatching it now was just a relax in front of the TV. As I wasn't expecting anything, this didn't give me anything. Little bit of fun, sometimes cringy, nothing special, just a mindless chill movie.

Avatar (2009) - 7/10
Didn't see it recently, just realised I didn't rate it yet. So 7 it is, for amazing visuals and music, but points deducted for primitive plot.

Edit: 300 titles rated on IMDb so far.

I watched The Revenant. I thought that the main survival part was really great: very intense and atmospheric, with amazing vistas and excellent acting by just about everyone. But the revenge segment at the end... It wasn't bad but just kinda cliched and inferior to the rest of the movie I guess. I think maybe I would prefer an ending where the bad guy actually gets away or... I dunno, just anything other than the predictable ending that we've got. It also felt kinda surreal how the main character went after that bastard on the next day after coming back. I think the overall "balance" in the movie was good but this bit seemed a bit contrived. So eh, very nice movie but the ending left me with confused feelings. Like perhaps it was unnecessary. Anyway, I had a great time with it. Well, I'm so into anime nowadays that I very rarely watch films, so watching almost any film is usually an interesting experience for me since live action is so different from animation.

kuchitsu: aren't you going to make vote on the movies you watch and write about here?

kuchitsu · Post by **kuchitsu** » 10 Feb 2016, 17:17

Nah, I don't like votes, I think conveying thoughts with words is easier.) Numbers don't tell much imo and they mean different things to different people, it's too confusing.

Revenant 6/10
I don't see how this movie deserves any oscars except for cinematography. The story was bleh, the flashbacks meh, the ending.. Reading a bit more into the story the movie is completely fiction compared to the real story, this made me even more disappointed in the movie :S

sunl · Post by **sunl** » 11 Feb 2016, 05:18

Also for the Revenant - as most people here live in snowy areas; how they handled how warm he was or not was very unrealistic imo

Järven tarina (2016) - 8/10

Would have put 9/10 but with Lousku's definitions it's 8. Several spectacular pieces that left me filled with awe. The film had narrating with Kalevala-themed (old Karelian mythology) story, which I really liked with occasional exceptions. Some added sound effects were a bit annoying. All in all the makers should get a medal.

Kon-Tiki - 6/10
A decent matinee adventure about the famous Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947. Sometimes laugh out loud funny which was quite unexpected. So was my overall impression of the movie. Wasn't expecting much but I liked it quite a bit. Strong 6.

The Hateful Eight - Eight/10
2h46m of Tarantino that never lost my interest. Nice visuals and cinematography. Solid cast (mostly), didn't really like Tatum's appearance though. Morricone's music was mostly good as well, some songs were a bit too weird (and almost experimental(?) sounding). Overall a very enjoyable movie.

Closing in on the Oscars now. I still have the opportunity to see The Danish Girl, Creed and possibly Mustang in theatres before the show.

imo not unrealistic. I don't want to go into many details but most of the clothing worn back then was wool and it keeps some of it's insulating abilities even though it's wet. That crawling into the horse I agree was a bit hardcore as I think it would get colder and colder and eventually freezing inside but I didn't think much else was unrealistic. I'm sure he must've been fucking cold at times, but imo most temperatures in the movie seemed to be around or slightly below 0 Celsius which believe it or not isn't that extreme temperatures for humans to survive in (especially not at that time, remember those humans had different lives than what we have now). And most of the techniques I can remember seeing - although extreme, they seemed realistic and based on good knowledge.

John · Post by **John** » 13 Feb 2016, 03:20

Also, inside the horse the small layer of warm air surrounding him doesn't blow away in the wind. Even if the horse itself is frozen it's still a shelter.

Creed - 7/10
Pretty good actually. Without spoiling too much I like the way things turned out. Michael B. Jordan did good in portraying a boxer with a heart (that is not being a fighting machine).

Really? Because I tried the link while I was logged out, and it worked still.
I also tried the link in IE now and I have never been logged in to IMDB in this browser, still worked!
