Watched it last night on Netflix [1982 Theatrical Version]and surprisingly it's still a great film that has stood the test of time very well.
I might watch the Directors cut one day - but have reservations given it's supposed to have removed the voiceovers and changed the ending.
I've still never seen the original!Quote:

(Blade Runner) 2049 was a great movie, but not quite as good story wise imo. Visually stunning though
I thought I was the only one who hated this movie. The storyline was just godawful.Quote:

Spiderman: Homecoming NOT EVEN THE IMMORTAL MICHAEL KEATON COULD SAVE THAT SPIDEY CRAP.
GOTG 2: again, they had Kurt Russell and they ****ed it up.
Doctor Strange.
Black Panther.
The rest lie on the scale from 'meh' (Thor, IM2) to 'dope' (Winter Solider/Infinity War).
Now, again, this is a true and correct list, you can have a different opinion, and opinions are fine. But if your opinion is different from this list then you are wrong.
oh, and Logan was boring and all the X-Men movies are bad.
That's soo much effort for soo much wrong informationQuote:

You read the post. Whatever you think doesn't matter. Sorry pal, but rules are rules.Quote:

Highly recommend Restrepo to anybody. **** Jarhead and all those other war movies. This is the real deal
Has anyone watched the Ben Affleck Netflix heist movie yet?
Going to try and give it a run tonight.
Also: All of Narcos was dope. Drug movies and drug TV is awesome, especially the murders. Drug people never just kill someone. There's always a little extra effort put in.
Appreciate the hustle.
Really rated it hey. Don’t like Ben affleck but liked that oneQuote:

After 3 hours of sugary bullshit undoing all the cool bits of Infinity War only a big dose of absurdity will suffice.
But we'll prob just get some unknown 18yr old actor picking up Captain Americas shield and be all like "20 MORE MOVIES OF THIS BULLSHIT, ASSHOLES"
Edward Norton's Hulk? I actually liked it, although it might be because i reckon Norton and Roth are both awesome.Quote:

I watched Lincoln [The Spielberg Film] on Netflix last night.
Daniel Day Lewis is a superb actor - but that's not enough to save this terrible piss weak borefest of a movie.
I wish Spielberg would go back to what he does best action / suspense more so than biographic / historic pics which are not his forte.
Hard to believe the guy that made Duel could make this Lincoln shit.
I actually didn't mind Ready Player One (SHUT UP COMIC BOOK NERDY NERDS).
Apart from that I've no idea if I've seen a Spielberg flick since Saving Private Ryan.
i enjoyed it.Quote:

we are a lot closer than we think to big time movies being available at home as the same time as the theatre.
its only gonna take someone from one of these huge movie franchises like Mission Impossible, Fast N Furious, Marvel etc to do a deal and release one on the platform.
then its all gonna get wild.
im all for it, **** going to the movies, and ill happily pay $20 for direct access at home on day 1 for a new Vin Diesel masterpiece.
Really got my hopes up with this. I loved the Big Lebowski.Quote:

I watched Cafe Society last night on Netflix. Not Woody Allen's best pic by a long way but decent enough to pass the time.
A lot better than Blue Jasmine but not up to the level of a Midnight in Paris, Annie Hall, or Take the Money and Run.
Also, Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse is a ****ing visual masterpiece. Loved it.
Did you watch it in 4k HDR ?Quote:

The only person that thinks less of Taxi Driver than me is Jodie Foster - but there's not a lot in it.
Serious?? What didn't you like about it?Quote:

Ahhhh mate, with the over saturation of comic films these days, I'm not expecting anything decent..Quote:

Compared to someone like Fellini, Kubrick, Wilder, and Bergman he's a hack.
Ok, so its a personal/moral choice about the storyline that you mainly don't like?Quote:

I hated The Wolf Of Wallstreet.. I could see it was a good movie that was well done, but glorifying a prick that ripped people off, sorry plague, a bloke that "made great business decisions" was pretty sickening to me..
im going to give it a go for sure.Quote:

having said that though, anyone who hands over money to a cold caller under the assumption of instant wealth doesnt deserve their money to start with. those suckers were gonna lose their cash somehow, Belfort was just ahead of the game.
My issue with Scorsese is that he's got very limited range when it comes to conveying an idea / message / telling a story. It's not the genre or themes either - because Kubrick films like A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Lolita, and The Killing I've watched and enjoyed many many times.Quote:

In general I like simple movies that don't take themselves too seriously. Scorsese makes very simple films that take themselves far too seriously to the point of being almost parodies - though it's unintentional.
I'm a big fan of Woody Allen films - but I would not call them great movies - it's more a case of him making films which appeal to me. However, the films of Allen's that I don't like are the ones that try to be more serious. They fail to impress because he simply doesn't have the tools to make them work - much the same as Scorsese.
