What Did You Watch Today?

Munich (2005), another solid Spielberg flick but it kind of dragged at the end and WHY ARE ALL HIS FILMS THIS GODDAMN LONG! And I don't look forward to Warhorse

Wahorse is alright, but you should try and catch the show next time you're in London, it's so so good and impressive.

Might be a good idea! I read about the play and that it's awesome! Never knew it was in London though.

I was hoping for more from a film boasting Mike Judge, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Ben Affleck, JK Simmons and David Koechner, but Extract really falls short of anything beyond average.

Flying Padre: An RKO-Pathe Screenliner (1951), A early Kubrick shot about a Priest with a plane!

[Benji]

Let's Be Cops was pretty amusing. Basically the same humour as New Girl with a different setting.

Now watching Zoolander all the way through for the first time ever.

Finally got around to watching Transformers: Age of Extinction, due to insomnia. There were about five different plots, and none of them made sense. Still, explosions, chase scenes, the past coming back to bite humanity in the butt, and robots turning into cars and back again, so, basically what I expected.

[Benji]

Taken 2 was good, I liked how different it was from the original, despite the fact it could have easily just have done the same thing twice with little worried.

Every film should begin with Arnie kneeling on the ground, completely naked.

I still have no idea what I thought of Knock Knock. It was entertaining, and some bits worked kind of nicely, but I just can't tell if it's intentionally as funny as I found it because Keanu is totally channeling his Nic Cage to the max. 

I thought the 3rd Hunger Games was okay, but had absolutely nothing on the 2nd one, which still remains one of my biggest surprises for enjoyment of a film. I thought it did a good job of being an instalment in its on right, and I'm excited for the finale chapter. They've done a great job with assembling such a good cast. 

And finally got Mubi, so I just watched Grey Gardens (1975). It's an extraordinary piece of documentary filmmaking, but I didn't get emotionally invested until the final twenty minutes, which limited my connection to the character for the prior seventy. It's definitely a film I'lll be revisiting at some point. I appreciated it, and invested in some of it, but not all of it.

Only Nic Cage can channel Nic Cage!

Outside of Ethan Hawke's solid performance, there was nothing much to shout about with Good Kill. Everyone else had the stereotypical war film characteristics, and they were pretty uneven at that. 

[SlicedBread]

Inside Out is such a good movie, saw it yesterday and I couldn't imagine anyone not at least having a little bit of fun watching it.

[GhostMachine]

Kingsman: The Secret Service - Darn good movie. May buy it, and hope there's a sequel.

Jupiter Ascending - What THE FUCK is this shit?!

[livid]

There will be a Kingsman sequel. Vaughn's been working on breaking the story for it for a couple weeks now, even.

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009) is just a failed romantic comedy.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Genisys (2015), Arnie's smile is fucking amazing.

[Benji]

Attack The Block was decent, even if the final five minutes was eye-rollingly stupid.

[Benjamin]

The Wind that Shakes the Barley was amazing. Holy cow what a film. Why is Cillian Murphy not a bigger star?
