What Did You Watch Today?

I don't know, I kind of like that it shifted back and forth sporadically from a romantic comedy to a sci-fi, plus the B plot with Jake Johnson's character.

It wasn't today but... Guardians of the Galaxy.

I didn't think much of it, to be honest. I didn't dislike it but I certainly didn't think it was anything special. I felt the same about The Avengers, though, so I guess I'm just not really invested in superhero movies.

I watched Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995). Part 1 of the latest Gamera Trilogy, nice reboot with Gyoas vs. Gamera only missed the gold theme song

Also Benji how would you rank every scooby doo flick you've seen so far?

[Benji]

On mobile at the mo, will try and throw it up tomorrow.

Color of Money was okay, but not as good as I hoped.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Looking forward to it Benji!

Also, I've watched The Pleasure Garden (1925), Alfred Hitchcock's first film! And it's alright nothing special but I had to watch it because my Hitchcock journey has finally started! Never expected to see a man drown a woman, a man trying to kill a woman with a sword and a man getting shot in a 20's movie and with it all happening on screen.

I went and caught Man Up whilst I was briefly in Cardiff today because there was nothing else on I hadn't seen. I thought it was really fun, and I'd forgotten how wonderful Simon Pegg is.

Just finished Jurassic World. It was... okay. Dinosaurs were awesome, especially their action scenes, human characters not so much. A lot of it was stretching the logic to unacceptable lengths, I think, even by Jurassic Park standards. Basically whenever there were humans interacting with humans it was not as fun as the dino parts. Last action scene was pretty great, though.

The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927), the second Hitchcock film is a blast with his first cameo appearance!

[Benjamin]

Everybody should go see Broken Circle Breakdown. It's such a heartbreaking love story, and it's shot beautifully. Plus, there's a full cover of a Townes Van Zandt song that is fucking delicious.

I've just watched JCVD (2008) and now it's finally over: http://letterboxd.com/larziej/list/ranked-jean-claude-van-damme/

Just watched First a Girl (1935) on Netflix. It's the original Victor/Victoria, and it's quite fun.

[Benji]

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is so tacky and awful. I love it.

[Cymbols]

Jurassic World was great. A couple of tired cliches here and there, but well worth a watch. Probably the best film after the original.

Despite the warnings of the films, if they ever could actually open up an actual dinosaur theme park, they totally should, just saying.

[Nick Adams]

Just make it all herbivores or something?

[Benjamin]

So basically, it's doable

[LL!]

Despite its flaws, Jurassic World was a ton of fun and is definitely a welcome addition to the franchise. I had a blast.

[Benji]

Insidious is pretty good. First half far better than the second half though.

[Monkey D. Lars]

THe Ring (1927), another silent Hitchcock!

[LL!]

Insidious is pretty good. First half far better than the second half though.

This is how I felt too. So I never really bothered with the sequels.

[ZJ Penn]

Yeah the next two are the same, although the first acts aren't as strong. It's typical horror though, showing the monster nearly always negatively impacts the movie. It's why Paranormal Activity haven't done the show and tell in five films.
