Recently Watched Movies/General Movie Discussion

Grenade wrote:Guardians of the Galaxy - pretty average movie, didn't live up to expectations and kind of dragged on most of the way through.

I thought it was pretty good and some of the self-parody moments were amusing.

Spoiler:

Anyone watch a film called Happiness?

Saw some movie called Boyhood because it had incredible reviews and there was nothing else to watch.

Probably the worst movie I've seen in my life.

Think dis is gonna be good.

I hope it is. 

Looking forward to: Foxcatcher, Inherent Vice, Gone Girl, Interstellar, Birdman, Fury, and Automata. Hopefully they can make up for a lackluster year in movies.

Whats that movie called with Jake Gyllenhall where he is an unhinged reporter? That looks good.

Also looking forward to The Imitation Game, apparently Cumberbatch is brilliant in it.

I finally watched a Wes Anderson film after Zzonked's recommendation.  Rushmore was very good, 8/10. I could listen to the soundtrack for the rest of my life as well.

I've got that downloaded. Haven't had much time for movies since classes started though.

It's a Friday night, mf.  Treat yourself to 90 minutes of non-studying.  Maybe even go out and get drunk with the lads after that.

You of all people should know I would never ingest alcohol.

Agreed, it is a disgusting killer.

Nice coincidence Glen as I downloaded Grand Budapest Hotel last night, though I havent yet watched

Rushmore is my favourite one. I have a few of the songs from that on my phone, favourite is the Kinks - Nothing in this World.

Saw that in cinemas. Quite entertaining. Ralph Fiennes is brilliant.

I'm going to watch it today.

Grand Budapest was entertaining, but if I had to choose a favorite Wes Anderson movie it would be between The Royal Tenenbaums and Moonrise Kingdom. I'd put Rushmore at a close third.

Enjoyed it.

The only Wes Anderson movie I've watched.

Ooh La La by The Faces is always poignant as well.

I watched The Darjeeling Limited tonight.  Not as good as Rushmore, but still very effective in creating that unique blend of sadness/hope/contentedness when the film ended.

It also had 3 of my favourite Kinks songs.

I love how his hair stays perfect no matter what the situation is.

Saw that new Denzel movie - The Equalizer. It was okay. A lot more cliche than I hoped.

I watched Pineapple Express last night. It has a great cast, but too bad it wasn't that funny.

I don't think that there are many funny films specifically made as comedies.

I think Pineapple Express is really funny, but it's more in the subtle dialogue and rhythm rather than the actual jokes.

Also I watched Edge of Tomorrow and it's really really good. Would definitely recommend it.

Yep, very underrated movie.

I just came back from watching The Equalizer. Good movie and I would recommend it if you like movies such as Taken. It's not as great as Taken and it did feel long (it's 2 hours and 12 minutes).

I want to watch A Walk Among the Tombstones.

Apparently Cumberbatch has the Oscar in the bag.  About time.

This makes me unbelievably excited for The Imitation Game.

Edge of Tomorrow was pretty sweet. Was not expecting anything special when i started watching. Had never heard of it prior to watching.
