Deepwater Horizon was a bit, well, cheesy at times but the whole build up to the disaster and then hell breaking lose was fantastic. I'm glad I saw it in the FlamingLiberal posted:I only watched the original which was dumb as all hell, never saw the sequel. It could have been worse, they could have used a shot of the stunt actor dying during the first XXX! (he both lived and died for this poo poo) Fun fun fact: he died on the second take of a stunt. They ended up using the first one.

Oh yeah, I said something about Underworld: Blood Wars in my terrible end of year summary.quote:Underworld: Blood Wars - A terrible movie that is saved by a scene near the end that made me laugh so hard. It features the male protagonist and the antagonist charging at each other while firing guns and screaming out loud. Only to find out that they are both bulletproof because of the uber blood they have been snacking on. Queue drab melee fight, because it couldn't get better after that. Also, the viking vampires (all of them Aryan as gently caress) fight with (cross)bows and swords. The werewolves attacking them all use guns. Are they dishonorable or are those vampires just dumb as hell? Spoiler: it is both. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Jan 2, 2017 |

Jonas Albrecht posted:Are we getting any video game property movies this year? Beyond Assassin's Creed and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter it seems there is just a whole bunch of TBA and speculation when it comes to video game franchises. I think the closest thing that is actually happening is another CGI Resident Evil movie. I think a Sly Cooper movie was planned for this year but that probably got shelved somewhere deep after the Ratchet & Clank movie.

The movie that hosed me as a kid was Laserblast. It's probably a low budget piece of trash in hindsight (it got the MST3K treatment at some point) but something about the lead character slowly turning into a mindless ghoul really got into my head. TBH it's not really the kind of movie that should air on an early Saturday afternoon. I saw it on a TV channel that had launched about a month earlier and I guess they still had trouble filling the gaps in their schedule. They also aired The Guyver on Sunday afternoons. Seeing an animated series with that much gore and screaming definitely was something new at that point in my life. Edit: I meant to say "hosed me UP" but I'll just leave it like that because it's amusing. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Jan 8, 2017 |

Vegetable posted:Eastwood's latest good movie is Sully, drat it. It has Tom Hanks knocking it out of the park in a role where he doesn't get to shout and cry. Made me cry like a baby. It's a good movie dragged down by it pretending there was a huge conflict that didn't happen. I know movies based on a true story aren't going to be 100% accurate but with Sully it was blatantly obvious they were exaggerating and creating villains because they feared the facts alone weren't entertaining enough. My issues with Sully are somewhat similar with those of Deepwater Horizon. Both are fantastic at depicting the disaster scenario and it's immediate aftermath, but both are also bogged down with the scenes that are deemed to be necessary to make it an "actual" movie.

I was under the impression that the bad cop doesn't die until Infernal Affairs 3 (with 2 being a prequel). Edit: quote:In mainland China, an alternate ending for the film was created, in which Lau exits the elevator and is informed by Cheung that the police have found evidence that he was a mole. Lau hands them his badge and is arrested without protest. The sequel, Infernal Affairs III, uses the original ending instead of the alternate one.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:If I go in expecting hilarious garbage, will I still end up hating it? How well does it fare compared to Underworld: Blood Wars? Underworld is hilarious at times because it plays it straight. The new xXx is a dumb action movie that knows it is a dumb action movie, but it while it is somewhat fun at times it is never funny. Xander Cage is still written like an x-treme version of James Bond: he makes cheesy comments, has sex with all the ladies, pretends to be a cool cat while behaving like a rebel without a cause. It was a terrible character back then, it is a terrible character now. They try to give this movie the Fast & Furious approach when it comes to the cast, by having a wide range of cool dudes and ladies. What Xander Cage really needs however is a sidekick, a straight man, that constantly calls him out on his stupid poo poo. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Jan 19, 2017 |

dont even fink about it posted:Are the Divergent movies any good? Because all I ever hear about them is "didn't make any money, hopefully we're done with two movies per book cash grabs now." Ever since I saw the first Divergent movie I have loved to hate them. They're terrible and I went to see them in the theatre because they are terrible. When I say that Jai Courtney is "wonderful" in those movies that's because his character delights in being the bad dude among all the mopey, overdramatic characters the movies offer. Want a good young adult series? Watch The Hunger Games. Want a young adult series to watch with friends and crack jokes about? Watch the Divergent trilogy.

well why not posted:I just bought a year-long cinema pass. I live 5 minutes from the cinema. I'm going to be seeing a lot of movies this year, and I'm excited to share the best and worst with my pals in CineD.  I've had a similar thing going on for the past 3 years and I've yet to walk out of a movie. It's amazing what you can stomach when time is the only thing you are spending. I'm sure the cinema would appreciate it if once in a while I bought some popcorn to go along with my ticket stub, but I usually just eat somewhere before/after the movie.

AlexF posted:I've seen John Wick 2 five times now (working on the German dub and all...) and it didn't get old yet. Quite the opposite. There's so much stuff happening and not explicitly spelled out that you'll pick up new things with every viewing. Without spoilering anything: I still don't know how you even begin to put together and then shoot something like the last set piece. Does the German voice actor who dubs Keanu dub every movie he is in? I know that is a thing in France, I'm curious if that applies to other countries too.

AlexF posted:[awesome German dub stories] Thank you for not just answering my question but also sharing that with us. I enjoyed it very much. I think the reason for that is because live-action dubbing is uncommon in The Netherlands (making it very fascinating). And when it happens it's all shows and movies aimed at children. This is the article that inspired that question BTW (a great read if you want more foreign VO stories): https://medium.com/matter/what-it-takes-to-be-the-french-jennifer-lawrence-9177abe68534#.m8sr5quq0

That's what I prefer, so I hear the real voice and the original actor's inflection during a scene. Dubbing live-action movies in countries like France and Germany has been a thing for more than half a century. At this point it's not about what is practical or accurate, it's just what they are used to.

I would have liked The Nice Guys a lot more if I hadn't seen any trailers for it. The trailers had some creative editing but they still gave away a lot of great scenes. I think the most memorable scenes for me ended up being all things that were not in the trailer (like Gosling seeking cover on a rotating car platform, Gosling grabbing Crowe's leg to look for a non-existent ankle revolver).A True Jar Jar Fan posted:No movie has ever made money. Warner Bros account(ant) spotted. Lemon posted:I almost liked God of Egypt but that lead hunk (not Jaime, the human) was just so, so bad. Easily the worst acting I've seen in a long time.

He felt like his father didn't give him the recognition he deserved and favored the other gods.

A lot of the "no skeletons in china" talk probably comes from seeing video game companies altering their own artwork/models for a release in China. From what I've heard that is not required tho, they basically alter things that might lead to objections by Chinese officials so that there won't be anything delaying the release of the game. They play it safe to be sure they don't miss out on a huge market. I know Valve went as far to expand these changes to a "low violence" mode which also removes a lot of the blood.

It seems almost like the best Jared Leto movies are the ones where his character dies or is forced to suffer greatly. And then there's Chapter 27, a movie for which the actor suffered by gaining massive amounts of weight, yet nobody watched it. And the mention of Tomb Raider has reminded me of another fantastic soundtrack album, the one for The Beach. It even has a great Sugar Ray song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJas7Q_yXXY (that might be because it's a cover of a song by Cale & Eno) Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 09:09 on Mar 10, 2017 |
