I found Honeymoon to be a decent movie, and worth watching. It is the type of movie I have Netflix for (rarely do I discover something great on Netflix that I haven't watched already by another means).

I watched Detention. I know I'm not the first person to say this, everyone has said it, but I can't not say it. What the gently caress was that movie?! One of the reviews on Netflix said it was like a shark, in that a shark needs to keep swimming or else it will die. Detention can't stay still at any point, each scene seems to last for no longer than 2 minutes. It's a clusterfuck. I lost count of the times I thought, "Oh, okay, this scene is about...gently caress, it shifted again." I think I like it, but mainly because I appreciate how balls out crazy it went. I was also worried this thread had built up the insanity too much. It did not even scratch the surface. I'm trying very hard to not say anything about what the movie is actually about. Partially because it's hard to sum up, but also because I think going in blind helps. It's impressive it was even made in the first place. This is only the second feature film this director made. I never saw Torque, because it looked like a by-the-numbers action flick. But now? I think I have to watch it. I know it won't be as crazy as Detention (I mean, how could it be?) but is it insane as well? edit: Crank != Torque. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Feb 21, 2015 |

Crank is definitely insane. Awesome, too, I think. Being a big fan of Statham might help.

Both Cranks are incredible experiences. Get yourself a six pack of cheap horrible energy drink and double bill those fuckers.

It's like half the cast and crew recognized the joke, and half didn't.

Every time you guys mention Detention I think of the Dolph Lundgren flick. I wish that was on Netflix.

Watch The Overnighters, a documentary that just went up on Netflix about a North Dakota pastor who takes in the various men, some with shady backgrounds, who come to his town looking for work from the oil boom.

Samfucius posted:I don't think it has been posted in this thread yet, so if you all haven't been watching the 30 for 30's on Netflix, get on it. You absolutely do not have to be a sports person, almost all of them are really fascinating stories in their own right that just so happen to involve sports. I care about Oregon Duck football and pretty much nothing else in all of sports, and I have loved every one I have watched. Seriously every 30 for 30 seems great, except the Ice Cube one about the Raiders. Its like Cube just wanted to make a movie about himself and loosely tied it into the LA Raiders. My two absolute favorites aren't on Netflix but are easy to find on youtube in their entirety: Catching Hell, which is about a fan who interfered with a foul ball and the weird tendencies for fans to assign scape goats in sports to people who don't deserve it And Of Miracles & Men, about the Soviet team that lost the Miracle on Ice, but from the Soviet perspective. It's utterly fascinating and everyone should watch it.

The dog episode is probably the most beautifully profane bit of television I've ever had the privilege of watching. It is a masterpiece.

I never watch documentaries twice, and I broke that trend for Survive and Advance. I was two when all of it was going down and now I sincerely regret I wasn't able to watch every game.

Just finished watching Frank on Netflix, I enjoyed it quite a bit, though I had no idea what to expect going into it. I'm surprised I haven't seen anybody else mention it. I'm also pretty surprised it's billed as a comedy, because while it's quirky and has a few funny moments, it gets pretty drat dark in places.

I just received an email notifying me that Robocop 2014 was just added. What's the general consensus on it? The pg-13 rating is off-putting considering the content of the originals.

It's a Sci-Fi channel original movie with heart and a suitable budget. It was one of the best action movies of last year, though it's probably better if you go into it thinking of it as a remake of The Brain That Wouldn't Die.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Looks like someone didn't see John Wick, The Raid 2, Lucy or Edge Of Tomorrow I saw The Raid 2 (one of my top ten of the year) and Lucy (one of my favorites which wasn't necessarily top ten). And RoboCop is better than Edge of Tomorrow. EDIT: Well, I'll say this - RoboCop is definitely a better remake of The Brain That Wouldn't Die than Edge of Tomorrow was a remake of The Americanization of Emily.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:I thought the action was the weakest part of the movie. The cold open, the cafe gun fight, the assault on the warehouse, and the final tower raid are all competently-to-well shot scenes. The only scene that doesn't work in this regard is literally the one that looks like a video game and is constantly being interrupted by Gary Oldman commenting on why everything looks so mechanical and unexciting. This is all mute, however, because none of these films mentioned are as good as Fury, but there were plenty of great action films last year, and a lot of them were better than Edge of Tomorrow: The Raid 2, Lucy, Gunday, Age of Extinction, 22 Jump Street, Days of Future Past, Sabotage...

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Oh come on, you really disliked Edge of Tomorrow that much that you thought a loving Transformers movie was better? What did you think was so wrong with EoT? This has nothing to do with my overt dislike for Edge of Tomorrow, but with my relative indifference to it. Age of Extinction did a much better job of making me feel apocalyptic shock and existential dread than Edge of Tomorrow.

If there's one thing the Transformers movies are good at it's instilling a sense of existential dread into the audience. Edge of Tomorrow is pretty great. Robocop 2014 is okay. There are a couple great scenes, but neither of them involve action. Edit: If nothing else, Robocop 2014 should be commended for having a scene of body horror in a PG-13 film that's almost as effective as anything in the R-rated original.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Did the ending mess you up? Yeah, it got me. I don't think they could could have written a better ending for the film than that. I dunno why everyone singles out Fassbender's performance though, I thought the entire cast was great. I was really impressed with Gleeson, I (probably unfairly) wasn't expecting much from him, and Maggie Gyllenhaal nailed it.

Heads up, The Quest for Fire is not streaming in its original aspect ratio, but in a full screen version that appears to be a VHS transfer.
