So is the cover a dealbreaker on whether or not you decide to watch the movie? I've noticed a lot of the ones you post in here are pretty similar.

Can't wait. Hardy is the best. You've seen Bronson, right?

I think he just likes trashy 70s stuff. He seems to love old porn music, grindhouse movies, and blaxploitation films.

Aw yuh, Bronson is great, and is probably the best example of Tom Hardy literally becoming somebody else. He has done so many fantastic characters. Bronson, Locke, Bane in DKR, Alfie in Peaky Blinders, Eames in Inception, Forrest in Lawless. Shieeet. And now Mad Max next year. Shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

![]() ![]() I wouldn't say it's "Enthralling from start to finish" as the poster claims, as at some point when you don't really know yet what's going on, the movie gets so slow I almost turned it off, generally I really liked it. Time travel is always tricky in movies, especially if treated seriously. I can't get into too much detail here as discovering what exactly is going on is a huge part of the fun here, but the movie delivers. The pace is slow and uneven, action is limited but even if you like I did, guess the big plot twist(s) early on, it is still fun. I can't say a bad word about acting though, I think everybody did a great job. It's based on Robert A Heinlein's story "All You Zombies" but I really wouldn't be surprised if it was based on something by Philip K. Dick. If you're into Dick ( :P ), you'll enjoy this. I also saw The Interview and I'll have to say I find most of what critics say funny. Come on, it's a movie from the guys that did such groundbreaking and important masterpieces like "Pineapple Express" (which I loved) and "this is the end" (which wasn't bad), what did you expect ? Well, I was expecting something of a bit higher quality to be honest. I knew it's a movie about putting things up your ass, not an insightful social commentary, still I was hoping it would be funnier. Generally a mediocre "stoner comedy". |

![]() ![]() Such a great movie, really is. That bit at the end- We're gonna break through the ceiling! Yes, yes he was. For what it's worth, Charlie made it. All he had to do was be honest with the right person. Quotes throughout that ring and pull even in adulthood. There's a magic about films like this one. It's sad when you meet people whom that concept is lost on. "Oh no! Stop!" As the bratty know-it-all gets sucked up into WonkaVision, transformed into a tiny, tiny, tiny little boy. "Don't worry about me mom! I'm fine, I'm on TV now! Wait'll my friends hear about this!" "They'll be quite all-right. When they leave here they'll be back to their normal, terrible selves. But maybe they'll be a little bit wiser for the wear."

![]() ![]() Nebraska I'm a little late to party on this one but damn did I love this movie. Humorous, sad and poigiant with beautiful cinematography and superb performances—all of the things my favorite movies tend to have. ![]() Blue Ruin Gritty little revenge story in the vein of Blood Simple and very, very well done. The fact that it was a low-budget, kickstarter-funded movie makes it all the more impressive. |

^both are wonderful films
![]() ![]() The Imitation Game putting aside the amazing performances by the entire cast....and putting aside the obvious social commentary on the treatment of homosexuals....seriously the term "medical castration" comes up far to many times in this film what this film is really about is exactly what Alan Turing did and how important it was not only for the immediate moment but for the advancement of computer technology if i had to choose a film from last year that i think everyone should see....it is this one. |
