BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Well, I will admit that my expectations were extremely high for this, after synecdoche, which I think might be the best movie I've ever seen. That was such a wonderful, emotional mind ****, that I was hoping for more of the same. It wasn't that, it didn't blow my mind. But I did laugh a lot. I don't feel like the crowd appreciated how weird and funny it was, I was basically the only one laughing. Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJon 175 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The Night Before (6.5/10) The best scenes were the ones with Seth Rogan. Not sure if this means he's actually a comedic genius, or that the rest of the movie sucked. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,751 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I saw it on December 29th, at a screening with a Q&A after that included CK. Of course you did. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Iphonenkinder 558 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Anomalisa It's just alright, I'd give it a C. Spot Light I loved it this movie. It's smart and well paced, shows the value of work. It might be my movie of the year.) I remember the date because that's the day I got towed. It was a public screening--tickets were general purchase, and LA has tons of these types of screenings, with creative types involved. I think the Q&As are supposed to appeal to academy voters. The q&a had Kaufmann, and two producers. The audience questions were almost all a oh how the film got made. No one asked in depth of CK story or plot. The project started off as a glorified radio play performed at UCLA. I don't know how they would have done the sex scenes on the stage. Has anyone else seen it? Link to post Share on other sites

hank213 1,823 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 trainwreck - for the better part of the movie there were only 2 likable characters: the surgeon and lebron. a few chuckles in it but often found myself wondering about why there was so much heat about this flick when it came out. found it low grade even by rom com standards. burnt - I hadn't heard much good about this. perhaps that's why I rather enjoyed it. i have to admit, they lulled me into a false sense of security enough that i didn't see the betrayal coming when it did.

Trainwreck (5/10) I like Amy's stand up, but why did she receive so much praise for writing this shit? I guess from all that I heard I was expecting some originality, or something groundbreaking in the ROM COM genre. Perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if I saw it without hearing any of the reviews. I will say that there were a few funny scenes with Hader, Lebron, and Cena. Also, the little feminine son had it's moments, but was already done in Chuck and Larry. Did we just become best friends?

Best review of this movie I've read so far. And Since I loved Rez Dogs, evil dead and unforgiven, it makes since I'm such a mark for this movie. Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJon 175 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Avengers: Age of Ultron (6/10) Meh. Looked amazing, but the story was wasn't great, and had me confused at times. First Avengers was much better. Link to post Share on other sites

GOCUBSGO 77 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Ex Machina... What a pleasant surprise. I knew nothing about it, and it was terrific I think I've considered getting this one the last two or three times I picked out a movie, but wasn't sold. Good to know it is worth watching.

brvheart 1,751 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 If Oscar Issac is in a starring role, you guys should just assume it's great. Lesson learned. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I didn't know any one who was in it, I was surprised Issac was in it. I apparently confused this movie with some other movie, that I never wanted to see. I'm sold on the writer/director. I really enjoyed 28 days later and sunshine ( which he wrote). This was his first directing job 1 Link to post Share on other sites
