I still really like the World's End though. But that abrupt tone shift. We were just talking about this; I don't even like to listen to music on shuffle because jumping around moods annoys me too much.

Ehhh yeah you got it twisted Basterd. Hot Fuzz is obviously classic, but as far as bat shit insane classic, that goes to The World's End. There's no just no debate dude. I'll never admit Hot Fuzz is a better film, cause it ain't.

Warm Bodies - Use to think Shaun of the Dead was the funniest zombie flick. Not anymore.

I LOL'd more during Warm Bodies than Shaun. They are two very different takes on the genre though. I like the aspect of being able to hear a zombie's take on everything that's going on during the movie. Especially a zombie with a wicked sense of humor.

It's not humourous, but have you seen V/H/S 2? One of the short films in the anthology is about a guy becoming and being a zombie and it's all shot from a Go-Pro. I thought it was one of the best twists on the genre since Pontypool tbh.

funny you mention this, i just re-watched the first V/H/S a couple nights ago. forgot just how good some of the shorts are.

Chula Vista 09-27-2017 09:53 AM

I'll check out Dead and Breakfast.

Re: Pontypool. Brilliant satire that so many people didn't "get". Someone should have asked Rush Limbaugh to write a review of it. :D

Chula Vista 09-27-2017 10:32 PM

Damn. Dead and Breakfast isn't on Amazon, Vudu, or Netflix.

Frequency. It's a time travel movie that has no characters who physically time travel. Well, they kinda sorta do. I think.

I watched X-Men Apocalypse for the first time yesterday.
I didn't think First Class was very good, but I liked Days of Future Past a lot. This one sits somewhere in the middle. It's got good bits, but overall it's a bit directionless and wears out its welcome. I'm pretty burned out on these super hero movies, but the X-men movies were always the best, so that's why I had to give this one a chance.

Big fan of the various related anime series and the two first animated movies, so I didn't dare go and watch this when it hit the theaters. I was sure I would hate it and simply didn't bother. Watched it yesterday and... it's actually not bad. It's very narratively coherent and works well as long as you forget about the original, since they've changed some details around in weird ways. The acting is a bit stiff and they use these drab image filters too much, leaving only the most neon laced scenes truly looking good.
Much better than what I'd heard about it and how it was reviewed, but no masterpiece.
I want to watch it again soon to notice some more of the details.

Fracture with Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling. Very taut murder, courtroom drama with Hopkins playing a character that comes within a half an inch of being just as brilliant and evil as Dr. Lector.

This doesn't really give anything away. The entire case is laid out within the first 15 minutes. It's how it gets resolved where things get fun.

I saw "American Made" (starring Tom Cruise)


(If it wasn't so late I would give a review.)

Always wanted to see this one. Thanks for the reminder.

I actually gave it a shot but wasn't in the right frame of mind for it so I bailed pretty quickly.

Watched 3 movies yesterday and this evening:

Apocalypse Now
https://static.rogerebert.com/upload...lqnVjvDdqd.jpg
I watched this years ago but couldn't remember much. Seeing it again, I was surprised at just how many scenes I'd completely forgotten. Most of the scenes I'd forgotten are really weird. Like that segment where Baldwin and his boat crew meet up with a rain soaked and muddy military outpost and pay two drums of boat fuel to fool around with a couple Playboy bunnies for a while. It's a strange way to make a war movie and I'm honestly not sure what to make of it. The long segment of the movie with the French land owners who protect their own little slice of family owned Vietnam was completely unexpected. Couldn't remember any of that at all. It was as if I was watching an entirely new movie at that point. The movie is frankly pretty surreal, right from the very beginning - not just when things get weird in Marlon Brando land.

Whiplash
http://is3.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/...1200x630bb.jpg
Pretty entertaining movie, but I really have to admit that I think it is silly as hell. No way could or would a teacher behave like that and keep his job for even one day. It's completely nuts, plus his motivations are pretty damn hard to call plausible. It's a good movie, but it has to be taken with a few buckets of salt. I felt like it's narrative was more suitable for a sports movie than a music movie. The music loving side of me finds the movie's portrayal of the world of professional jazz drumming completely preposterous.

The Martian

Being a big fan of Ridley Scott's movies, I'm not sure why it took me so long to watch this one. It was actually pretty damn good. It was surprisingly nice to see a sci-fi movie with such an uplifting attitude for once. I liked the whole cast in this movie and it was both funny and exciting. Definitely a modern Scott classic in my book. It belongs next to several of his finest movies. There's really no other space movie quite like this.

Watching Matt Damon be funny is just the best.
