What was the last movie you've seen?

[Hobie-wan]

I did it...

Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) - 2h 45min of irritation.

Not much else to say.

You are a man on the mend, why would you do that to yourself?

Clueless and Fast & Furious

[REPO Man]

Only 30 minutes long but just as good, if not better, than most episodes of the series.

Released as a double bill with the Kamen Rider Gaim film Kamen Rider Gaim: Great Soccer Battle! Golden Fruit Cups!, which was also recently fansubbed by TV-Nihon.

The kids. Daddy is forced to watch with them otherwise it doesn't count.

Someone tried to make The Hobbit trilogy more like one long film, thank god: https://tolkieneditor.wordpress.com/

My wife barely survived her first, and possibly last, Star Wars marathon. I think out of the six or seven hours, my salacious crumb imitation was her favorite thing from the experience. That or the nachos.

For me the best part was her gentle quip of "Why in the fuck do these movies make your nostrils flare?". It's a good question.

As you may have heard, I recently watched Ressha Sentai ToQGer The Movie: Galaxy Line SOS, which was released as part of a double bill with:


Kamen Rider Gaim the Movie: Great Soccer Battle! Golden Fruits Cup!

Better than the ToQGer movie, and not just because it's twice the length.

It starts off just after (or around) episode 37, where Kouta finds himself in an alternate timeline where the heroes and villains play soccer in lieu of forming dance troupes. But soon, a new villain emerges, one who is tied to an experiment on the part of the Overlords (the denizens of the otherworldly Helheim Forest) to create a duplicate of the Golden Fruit (which is basically the same power as from various other creation legends and myths).

A.P.E.X.

In the future, we send probes into the past. Yet for some reason instead of trying to send small objects or things of that nature, we send faulty killbots. After sending one such killbot probe to the 1970s, Dr. Nicholas Sinclair decides to travel back in time to stop it from killing a family, only to unwittingly bring with him a super virus from the future which splits time. Sinclair returns to find killbots streaming from the actual timeline into the false one to try and correct it by killing off the incredibly contagious virus, which has destroyed Sinclair's present. So now he has to fix the problem by traveling to his facility in the alternate timeline and contacting the actual timeline while killer robots stalk him.

Unfortunately between the often wooden acting of the lead, the bland script, and the overemphasis on browns, reds, and blacks that just sap the life out of the film, A.P.E.X. just never seems to take off. The killbots look hokey, but Sinclair is just dull and never seems to exhibit much emotion about the events around him, and the continual shade of dirt that the cinematographer seemed obsessed with mutes the film to such extreme that it comes across as disinterested in itself. As for the rest of the characters, they try to liven things up but were written as stereotypes of action characters. I don't want to blame the actors though. The guys which make up the small squad of soldiers that Sinclair spends the majority of the film with seem to be genuinely trying, and really they're the only part worth watching the film for.

Yeah, it's bland and brought down by the slew of much better time travel films out there(like Terminator, which this film wishes it could be). I wouldn't recommend it to many folks.

A salacious crumb impersonation is always a treat to hear and I am also glad I'm not the only one who gets the glassy eyes and flaring nostrils.

I love these reviews. You are basically going back and watching all of the movies that 10-year-old prfsnl_gmr would have thought were awesome but that 34-year-old prfsnl_gmr would not watch.
