Dread Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 MASH: First time watching in a very long time. Megan loved the TV show but had never seen the movie. It's not a story per se, but it is wonderfully shot and brilliantly acted. Funny shit. Altman's best film by a huge leap. I'd love to see a sequel with Skerritt, Sutherland, Williamsen, Duvall and Gould. Features: 77Shorts: 20Documentaries: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Trainwreck: I've liked Amy Schumer for years. Outside of her playing a character named Amy, she puts in a very nuanced performance. There are a couple of moments where it oozes into formulaic romantic comedy but there are others that it completely works against the mold. Also, being a native Ohioian, I found myself not hating LeBron James for the first time in a while. Also, John Cena can act. Never would have thought.Bring It On: It's a fun movie. Nothing too great but it works for what it is. Also, the sheer amount of actors and stuff that were also in Buffy. Just more of a random observation than anything else.Films: 45Rewatches: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never would have thought.I thought Trainwreck was really interesting, in that it's a fairly run of the mill romantic comedy, except that the female lead isn't a standard rom-com "I'm such a mess because I trip and fall down a lot, and my job keeps me so busy I don't have time for a man", but is legitimately broken, and as a result the tropes are viewed from another angle.

teenalphabro Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Looper: It's really good. Obviously, due to the fact that there's time travel involved, there's bound to be holes in the plot.
