Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
It doesn't really bother me that it's an all female cast but it just feels like so little effort was put into it. Maybe it's just a bad trailer, but I'm getting Scooby Doo (2002) vibe from it . My guess is it will be a passable experience that does well with a general audience, but the older fans probably won't be to impressed.

It'll be shit, take my word for it. Outrage at items of entertainment is pretty silly generally, doesn't matter really, Hollywood dictates how people think and behave since forever.Fragems wrote:It doesn't really bother me that it's an all female cast but it just feels like so little effort was put into it.

Sometimes it's fun to watch a train wreck though.
Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
I do feel that way sometimes, especially when watching older titles that I wouldn't have watched back in their day. But I can't have nostalgia for new dreck :PFragems wrote:Sometimes it's fun to watch a train wreck though.

Kinda/sorta/wanna see the forthcoming Ghostbusters reboot (or whatever it is), but I'm considering boycotting Sony until they free recording artist Kesha from having to work with Dr. Luke.
And I just finished watching:
It's on Netflix until the 10th.
The Belgian-Dutch drama, whose title is based on the leet version of the Dutch phrase "(ik) ben niks" (which translates to "(I) am nothing"), is based on the novel "Nothing Was All He Said" by Nic Balthazar (who directed Ben X).
The story follows a young man with Asperger's who retreats into the world of ArchLord (a real-life fantasy MMO that shut down on January 1, 2014, the better part of 7 years after Ben X's release) to escape his real-life, where he deals with bullying and alienation due to his autism.
Overall it was a good film, which from me is saying something since I'm hardly one for dramas.

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
It probably will be. (Based on what I've seen and read...that's how that works.). I just think it is unfair to judge a movie before its release based on the fact that it has a largely female cast.Pulsar_t wrote:It'll be shit, take my word for it.

AWESOME!!
It's only flaw is that it's only 30 minutes long. But apparently star/director David Sandberg and author Seth Grahame-Smith are working on a full-length version.
Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Well mom picked up some redbox movies, and watched one on netflix....
Gotta admit never seen this until now and it's not half bad. Funny and i'd honestly recommend it
then there was:
Why? Just why? The national Lampoon movies were great but this takes a decent series and smears shit all over it. Got to the "do anything amy" scene and I was done...couldn't watch anymore...
Finally:
Not bad but not great either. Adam...adam...adam, you did some good movies but man this one could've used some better writing. Some points felt rushed and others not explained well enough. *sigh* Now I need a palate cleanser...

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
I haven't posted in this thread in forever, so 'eh why not. The last two films I've seen in the past two weeks:
Expelled From Paradise
Taking place in the future, most of mankind has left the fouled earth to live virtual utopia lives in a massive VR spacestation. However the space station's network infrastructures have begun to be hacked by an external source apparently coming from earth. The space colony decides to send incarnated human agents to earth to find this hacker. One of these hunter agents is a young female who ends up being the one to find the hacker, along with the help of an earthborn mercenary (of sorts). The hacker ends up harboring some big surprises, and the story goes a way you wouldn't initially expect. This is high sci-fi that goes deep into some really existential stuff at times, but there's plenty of ecchi crotch shots and hardcore mech battling action to keep you awake. I enjoyed Expelled From Paradise and recommend it to anime fans.
The Homesman
I heard this was a feminist western so I was a little leery thinking it'd be preachy or whatever. Turns out, my fears were unfounded, this movie is full of strong yet believable female characters, who make a lot of hard decisions. It starts off about a spinster ranchwoman who takes on the task of delivering a few insane women to an asylum, with the help of a rapscallion lecherous old man she picks up along the way. Things don't go well, pretty much nothing goes well in this film, and some seriously dark shit happens before the end. I seriously doubt you'd be able to guess all the things that are going to happen as you watch. I don't want to ruin it so I'll just stop there. If you're a fan of westerns, dark drama, and strong plots that aren't concerned about fake assed happy endings, give The Homesman a watch.
