What was the last movie you've seen?

Finally saw "It Follows." It was ok - nicely paced and well shot, moody, well acted, etc...but the last act was shit and the ending worse. Have there been any stronger horror films yet this year?

I really loved "It Follows". It isn't the best movie I've seen, not even top 20 material...but, certainly the best horror of the year so far. I suppose it could be polarizing depending on how you view the material, and the motivations as mentioned. Is it meant to be symbolic? Or perhaps it just wants to play with some popular conventions of the horror genre in an unfamiliar way, this is the way I like to look at it. Check out the budget on the film, that makes it a little more impressive in my opinion, and I loved the lead.

The pool stuff was definitely walking a thin line, if not flat out cheesy. It wasn't enough to kill the film for me though. I really enjoyed it.

I think if Lynch made the same movie, minus the stuff mentioned in the spoiler above there would be a gang of people talking about how brilliant it was and how everyone just "didn't get it." I'm a Lynch fan, and I'm not drawing direct comparisons. I simply think the director of It Follows didn't have the following or the clout (perhaps even the skill) to pull off the same type of vague symbolic atmosphere that requires a bit more consideration than looking at the "whore crowd". That's just my opinion though.

I also saw It Follows, agree the pool scene was questionable, but I loved the movie.

Kung Fury

Fun and free, what else is there to say?

My Brother in law got to see it on the big screen at Comic Con. After the movie was over The HOFF came out and performed the title track.

More people need to know about this work of art. I only knew about the project about a couple of months and the trailer was really good

Just finished Ex Machina, which was pretty strong! If you are looking for a good recent sci fi film that favors cerebral writing and gorgeous shots over guns and tons of overdone CGI, it is an easy reccommendation.

Why does it have to be a choice? Why can't I have cerebral writing and gorgeous shots in between overdone CGI guns?

Kung Fu Hustle, still a feel good movie to me and so over the top in parts.

Okay...now I finally have scratched a mental itch that has been bothering me for a while.

The chubby dude in Netflix's DAREDEVIL is the bully from THE MIGHTY DUCKS.

Saw Ant-Man. I went in with low expectations and ended up having a really good time. It used the extended Marvel universe cleverly without feeling like a plug for the next movie (except for maybe one line where they slipped in reference to Spider-Man).

The characters were likable, the humor was decent and I liked what they did with Pym and thought it was brilliant that they went with the Scott Lang Ant-Man. It allowed them to basically make a fusion between a super hero film and a heist film instead of just another "science guy becomes super guy" film.

I also thought it was cool how Pym was still the original Ant-Man and he and Wasp were cold war era super heroes in this universe. It really fleshes out some of the continuity's history and shows that incredible super-heroic things didn't just stop happening after Captain America got frozen and only start up again recently.

I fully expected this to be a misstep for the Marvel movie franchise but I feel I was wrong.

Saw Kingsman. Fun, funny, surprisingly deliciously violent, but too long - the movie needed a better editor for the last half especially....
