What Did You Watch Today?

[Benjamin]

Crime Story is amazing. I use to watch the shit out of that movie as a kid.

After watching Lincoln (2012) today, my Spielberg adventure is over.

Mad Max Fury Road was pretty awesome, I think.

[Forky]

Just started watching Game Of Thrones....2 episodes in and it's been pretty good. I'm still waiting for it to heat up though and really grab my interest.

I think it was episode 5 or 6 where I flipped shit and totally started to love the show.

It Follows - It Sucked!!!!

I watched Trading Places earlier. I've seen it before, but I love it. Great movie.

[Benjamin]

The D Train was strange.

[Nick Adams]

So I got around to watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the most recent movie, which Michael Bay produced), and I have to say, I don't see why it caught so much flak. It wasn't the complete and utter wreck which the reviews told me that it would be, that's for sure. Was it incredible or anything? Not even close. But it was, at the very least, watchable until the end.

The only really weird part was the discovery that mutant turtle shells are bullet proof.

I watched that the other week. I think it was just an unfair default reaction to a Michael Bay film. I thought it was decent, and outside Megan Fox's acting, didn't really have any issue with it.

[Benjamin]

That movie was awful. Even for a summer blockbuster where I generally excuse a lot of bad stuff, it was the dirt worst. It wasn't watchable at all for me, one of the worst visits to the cinema last year.

[livid]

Yeah it's not bad. It's a fun movie and the action is done well, especially the mountain scenes. 

[Benjamin]

The Iron Giant will always be amazing, I think.

[SlicedBread]

I was on a bit of a Disney kick recently so I checked out a few films I saw as a child but have very little memory of.

With that being said I watched the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I can't believe this was considered a kid's movie, it was pretty freaking dark.

[GhostMachine]

Watched about the first 10 minutes or so of Murder Of A Cat, which we got from Netflix based on the cast. Looked like rubbish, so it went back into the envelope and out to the mailbox fast.

Heidi decided to watch Ride, which was written and directed by its star, Helen Hunt. I ended up watching it while on the computer, and it was pretty good. Starts out fairly slow, however.

Harakiri (1962) is fucking amazing. Anyone else seen it?

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Snatch was great. Pretty sure I only understood about six words Brad Pitt said in that film though.

Mad Max: Fury Road review (spoilers within):

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN.

[VerbalPuke]

Mad Max Fury Road was pretty awesome, I think.

Well yeah, there isn't any other answer.

I finished both seasons of Peaky Blinders, and ready for the next. Great fucking show, love it man, fucking great stuff. Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy kick ass.

Started watching Hell on Wheels and Marco Polo, both are really fucking good.

[Jimmy]

Watched a bunch of stuff recently. Really enjoyed The Imitation Of Life and Storytelling. 

Straight Outta Compton and The Wolfpack, were both pretty good but had the potential to be so much better. 

Can't quite justify either, but also really enjoyed The Maze Runner and MacGruber for what they were.  

Watched Michael Haneke's first two films, The Seventh Continent and Benny's Video which I thought were a little disappointing. There was some really good stuff in both, but they feel overlong and don't engage me in the same way his later work does. 

And finally, I thought Dope was one of the most disappointing films I've seen recently. It looked great, but it has no idea what it wants to be, and it ends up feeling so superficial and fake that it completely undermines the point the film tries to make.
