Molly Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Horns: I liked it, well enough. Pretty heavy handed in some places, but overall it's a good time. Surprisingly gory in some places, but then I found out it's a Joe Hill story and it all made sense. Radcliffe shows that he's not just Harry Potter, here too. His American accent is a little weak, but nothing unforgivable. Fifty Shades of Grey: Yup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenalphabro Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 O Brother, Where Art Thou: I kinda have a weakness for Cohen Brothers movies. I also have a bit of a weakness for ancient Greek and Roman myths. And naturally, when you throw them together, I'm gonna go towards that thing like a moth to light. And this movie did not disappoint me at all, not the first time I saw it, or this time. Even after all these years, I still love this movie. The soundtrack doesn't hurt it, either. In fact, the soundtrack's one of the reasons I love it so much. Films watched: 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Boogie Nights, in gearing up for the next Hey! An Actor: This movie is long. It's LAWNNNG. It's really long. It's good, but it feels inexorably long. Wahlberg and pals all do great jobs, but I'm sure this would have more of an effect on me if I saw it back when it first hit in '97. Granted I was 8 years old then, but I think this is a case of seeing other stories like this where going back to the trendsetter of behind-the-seedy scenes types of movies doesn't have that huge effect they once had.

An Actor: I'm sure this would have more of an effect on me if I saw it back when it first hit in '97. I think that's accurate. This was a huge revelation in 1997 and the fact that there have been a hundred very much like it in the years since have diluted its impact, but it still holds up as a damn good film. Granted I was 8 years old then GODDAMMIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenalphabro Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Dead Man: This movie is one hell of an underrated piece of cinema. Everything from the soundtrack to the acting to the cinematography is on fine form, and it's a really big shame that this movie isn't a lot more popular.

Donomark Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 50 Shades of Grey: I really wanted this to be a laugh riot, but it was honestly dull and uneventful. Some emotion is riled up in the fact that Christian Grey is obviously an abusive A-hole, but really it's not as gleefully entertaining as Twilight was. MEH.

teenalphabro Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Watchmen: I know, I know. It's Watchmen. That said, I loved this movie, even with all the changes.

dc20willsave Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Much Ado About Nothing (2012): Thoughts in BDH 77 later this week. Assuming my throat doesn't give out again. Batman (1989): There are lots of problems with this movie. Michael Keaton isn't one. The art direction isn't another. That said, I always have and always will hate Jack Nicholson as Jack Nicholson as The Joker. Just... I have problems with it.

Dread Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Puppet Master II Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge Puppet Master 4 Remarkably, there has not yet been a group of "teenagers" being picked off or encountering the puppets yet. The fourth is the closest but they are twenty-somethings who clearly have pretty prominent jobs in research and development. Lots of grown-ups in the PM series.
