MOVIE'S 2014

Saw Divergent with my girlfriend, it’s mildly entertaining but suffers in comparison to The Hunger Games.

The psychological and pharmaceutical elements of the story are interesting though.

@aequitas:

Woah ,what did they just do with TMNT?
Saw a Trailer on YouTube and I must admitt, Megan doesn’t make the movie any se$$ier!

. I thought the same thing, one could have mistaken the TMNT enemy as Cobra by watching the trailer.

I want my April O’Neil busty and wearing a yellow jumpsuit.

Megan Fox is one of the few actors whose off screen opinions/actions have soured me to her work. She has to be one of the least attractive beautiful women in the movies.

Cap: Winter Soldier was pretty good. The ending is a bit of a mess and there’s too much shaky cam that almost ruins some great fights (making the shaky cam even more frustrating) plus some why the frell is there shaky cam here crap. First movie in a while that has been so drug down for me from a technical aspect instead of a bad writing one. But the writers and Evans seem to get Cap and I really liked the story.

Easily a top 5 movie of the 9 “Avengers” films (a personal top 3 favorite of that group) arguably a top ten comic movie ever and probably an inarguable top ten since “Blade” in 1998 despite my problems with the tech. Some of the action is fist pumping spectacular even with the shaky cam.

If Winter Soldier was something you thought looked cool it will be worth the ticket.

Thanks for the analysis Frim. I am an interested party.

Transcendence= Lawnmowerman part deux

Saw “Godzilla” last night. Didn’t suck. Anytime a monster is on screen it is pretty cool. Cranston is cool. The rest is kind of “meh.” The third act kind of rocks and the one stupidity of the script doesn’t drag it down to much. There are some cool things in it but on the whole they didn’t add up to a cool movie. Better than “Pacific Rim” though. YMMV.

Good to know since I’ll probably wind up seeing it. Also is it just me or is Ken Wantanabe one of the few go-to guys for lead Japanese roles in Hollywood?

I think Ken is just one of the more easily recognized Japanese actors. But he does seem to get all of the more high profile roles.

I know I sounded “down” on the film and it would be fair to say I was a little disappointed. There is some very cool stuff in there but I can’t shake the feeling that they “missed.” Maybe it was just the stupid shaky-cam style they kept going to for what seemed no other reason than the previous few minutes weren’t shaky-cam. That whole technique has more than run its course with me.

Godzilla was pretty good. The best of these type of movies. Drawbacks are music and actors, all no names. I was hoping they revamped the original score but they just schlock filler music you will never remember. Oh and Godzilla has company in this version. People die in this one unlike the crappy Broderick version where everyone magically has a Parachute and PETA has no complaints.

This one pretty starkly points out how bad the '98 (Broderick) one is. Even with its faults the new version is not the pile of suck that is the mess Emmerich foisted on us.

Three generations of Worshams are watching the 1956 Godzilla classic tonight in preparation for the Godzilla movie tomorrow.

Broderick should make an sacrificial appearance in the new movie to rid the sins of that awful iguana movie of 1998.

Saw “Neighbors” this week, it was good (not great) with plenty of laughs and above average performances. However, it didn’t come close to “This is the End” which has become an instant classic.

They should watch “Destroy All Monsters” too. That one had the best music.

Godzilla was alright. Cranston rocked, but wasn’t there for that long. As for the rest, needed more Godzilla lol. Not as good as Pacific Rim, but all in all an enjoyable popcorn monster mash movie that’s worth your time.

Enjoyed Godzilla, my entire family did. Could used little more monsters.

Well, Toshiro Mifune is dead, so…
