Enough Said ...starring julia louis dreyfus and james gandolfini

It was a well done romantic comedy meant for a mature crowd

Basically about two middle aged divorcee falling in love with a twist

Dreyfus is an underrated comedic actress ... her show VEEP is dope

I give it a B+

Just finished NBC 90s comedy series Wings. Watched the entire 8 seasons over about 3 months. I remember watchin it off and on as kid, but I appreciate it now more as an adult. Its corny at times but its a solid comedy and under rated imo. My fav characters were Antonio and Brian. Show kinda lost steam when Lowell left after season 6 tho. The final season was kinda boring as you can tell the writers were running outta jokes. Overall very good comedy series and btw GOAT intro music.

what!? yall niggas dont like pain & gain? why not? it feel like a classic B-movie with mainstream actors, need more titties though

I thought that shit was ass as most Michael Bay movies are, it was also way too long as most Michael Bay movies are. Since it was a true story I felt they should've taken a more serious tone with it.

Watched another Matthew McConaughey flick called mud, It was ok 7.3/10

Finally watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, it was the last David Fincher movie I hadn't seen.

I gotta say this film moved me to the core like few have ever done. Easily one of my favorite movies now, even though I wouldn't even want to watch it again. It made me feel some kinda way about life and death and the people you meet and share times with throughout your life. Powerful shit.. By comparison Fincher's other films I was always a big fan of like Fight Club, Seven, Zodiac and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo are shallow. IMO this film is his first masterpiece.

Im late but i finally got to see 2 guns. I liked it, Denzel and Mark worked great together and i got to finally see White House Down, wasn't bad but Jamie looked funny ass hell trying to look like Obama lol

 

[lazypakman]

really enjoyed this one...was apprehensive about watching this cause its pretty fucked up putting yourself through something with this subject matter during ramadan but hey i managed thankfully, even if the cuban sandwiches did look delicious.

Favreau uses his likeable charm to maximum effect here, and John Leguizamo does a really solid job too.Awesome soundtrack as well.

not a great fan of the directors work thus far (hate his pacing, people seem to have misinterpreted that as a form of tension building) but i immediately wanted to watch after the initial viewing because the end of this film completely throws you off. Jake Gyllenhaal has one of those performances where he kinda kills it without you noticing.

if you like a real mind bender of a movie i'd recommend this.you can interpret it in several different ways once you think about it.

Gettysburg. Would've been better off searching for any History Channel documentary of the battle. Terrible music. Terrible fights..if that's what you want to them. Long as shit and felt like it was just build around the famous quotes. Does have some good stuff from Jeff Daniels and Sam Elliott though.

Hart of Dixie Seasons 1 and 2. Hard to get through with 25 episode seasons, but liked it a lot more than I was expecting.

Red Tails. Trash.

Working through John Adams and Warner Brothers 100 Film Collection now.

 

[Alkinduz]

Drive hard....

lol, John Cusack in Australia, he plays a thief that robs a bank and kidnaps an ex race car driver. Not a bad movie at all, couple hilarious scenes, suprising ending...if youre bored/aint got shit to do, check this shit out. Its a funny, laid back action flick with some funny twists/takes on traditional "on the run" films.

 

[BangEm_Bart]

Locke.

Horrible fucking movie. Don't waste your time.

Spoiler

The nigga drives around for a fucking hour and a half to London. He got some 43 yr old bitch pregnant. Wife breaks up with, kids talking sports. Job fires him. That's it.Really.

 

[BangEm_Bart]

School Dance

Saw the 1st 10 minutes and turned it off quick. Mike Epps is corny as fuck. The humor was definitely Nick Cannonish. Horrible acting, Bobb E. Thompson my nigga but that movie was trash unless you watching it for bitches with big tits and fat asses, don't expect anything else.

 

[BangEm_Bart]

BREATHLESS

Basically badguy develops a soft spot for a high school girl. This guy is an asshole who is belligerent degrading and a bully..has some hilarious parts especially as he meets the girl.. they have more in common than they both realize one night he has an epiphany brought on by and attempted suicide and is in the process of trying to change the best he can....

Definitely worth the watch if you happen to give it a watch hit me up

Available on Netflix

I will check this out

 

[rip.dilla]

Saw it two nights ago on TV ..

It is IMO Tarantino's best film. The pace of the story, the characters and casting. Excellent

Pam Grier's MILF ass sexy as fuck. Sam Jackson put on one of the most menacing hated characters in cinematic history.

Let's not forget Bob DeNiro underrated here playing a bum to perfection . ..

'Across 110th Street' started and ended the film..

rip. Bobby Womack

Had me a film orgy over the end of last month into the holiday. And it's not 4th of July without some MICHAEL BAYHAM.

(GRADE C + ) Michael Bay returns to worldwide blockbuster billion dollar franchise with the 4th installment of the "Transformers" series with "Age of the Extinction". The film is a sequel to the original "Transformers" trilogy but has none of the returning cast members outside of the Transformers. It's been 4 years since the battle of Chicago and the government has turned on the Transformers both Autobots and Decepticons. With both of them on the run they are being hunted down by not only the government but a headhunting Transformers Bounty hunter called "Lockdown". While on the Run Optimus finds himself beaten and battered away from his team as well as the protection of his old military buddy's. Sam and his family are not in the picture at this point and their whereabouts unknown. Marky Mark takes the lead in this chapter as a struggling inventor Cade Yaeger. When Cade buy's an old truck it sends the life of himself, his daughter and her boyfriend on an adventure of a lifetime.

I was unsure how this would go without Shia but honestly it wasn't that bad of a movie at all. Of course critics are going hate on it cause it's Michael Bay. But the action was some of the best in the franchise. Loved Lockdown, he has to be the best villain in the franchise. The fights were on point. Opitmus and Bubble Bee put in some work. This chapter also put even more focus on the robot's emotions as Ken Watanbe and John Goodman both provided great voices. As for the human characters. Shia and Megan's replacements weren't that good. The girl and the boyfriend were both annoying. Marky Mark did OK but he basically places himself in a lot of his role's. Also he wasn't that believable as a Dad here, more like a Big brother. Both Stanley Tucci and Kelsey Grammer were great in this. Loved the final battle in China. The Dinobots were the sh!t but they were way underdeveloped. It was like they just popped in for the final battle. Hopefully we see more of them in Part 5. Overall it was a good follow up to the Trilogy and bridge it pretty well. Loved the Transformers in the run concept. Liked how Galvatron was introduced. The story also sets up for the sequels to take place more in Space as the cartoon did. Overall Bay did it again.

(GRADE C +) In order for Michael Bay to come back to Transformers 4 the studio let him do a small film about the Sun Gym murders in Miami called "Pain and Gain". It stars Marky Mark, The Rock and Anthony Mackie's as 3 Gym rats who get caught up in a crazy kidnapping, murder and extortion plot. Even though this was a low budget film for Bay, Bayham was still here in full effect. Sex, Drugs, party and devious behavior puts these 3 guys on a road to some bad karma. I never heard of the story or the crimes so I went in blind. It was an interesting movie and all 3 actors did good. Again, Marky Mark was Marky Mark. The Rock was too funny in this trying to be religious. Anthony Mackie did good too. Ed Harris was great as the detective. But it was a pretty sick story. Bay took a more humorous look at the criminals as the tone was very comical in points, but as the movie goes on you clearly stop smiling seeing what these guys did. Overall I thought it was a pretty good movie. Reminded me of "Bad Boys" a little as the entire movie took place in Miami.

 

[rapmastermind]

(GRADE B) The Bad Boys are back in this blockbuster sequel to the 1995 Classic Buddy Cop Comedy "Bad Boys" which was Michael Bay's 1st film. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence star as Miami PD cops trying to take down the drug lords of Miami. In the 1st film it was about coke. This film it's about ecstasy. It's been over 8 years since the original film and Mike and Marcus are now apart of the TNT (Tactical Narcotics Team) which is a high tech militarized unit in the Miami PD. When a supposed big drug bust goes wrong against a KKK group. Mike and Marcus are forced to find a different way to take down the #1 Ecstasy dealer in Miami Johnny Taepai.

Matters only get more complicated when Marcus undercover DEA sister gets involved. Really loved this sequel. The action/gun fights were great. The highway car chase was one of the best action sequences in a car chase ever. I mean Dropping Cars on the freeway? That's Bayham all the way. The chemistry between Will and Martin was magic. You really feel like these guys are brothers. Gabrielle Union was a great addition to the cast. Joe Patliano as Captain Howard was great too. It was a little long once it got to the Cuba scene but the Hummer and the Shanty down made up for it. Overall great sequel and i'm looking forward for Bay, Will and Martin to all come back and finish out the trilogy with "Bad Boys III".

(GRADE B + ) Michael Bay 2nd film after the original "Bad Boys" was 1996's "The Rock". It was a movie that felt like a Classic Tony Scott film from the 80's. It stars Nic Cage and Sean Connery as two unlikely heroes that has to stop a chemical weapons attack by disgruntle ex-military soldiers. This was the one Michael Bay film that critics actually really enjoyed and gave it solid reviews. Ed Harris and Michael Beihn were great in this also. Again Very Tony Scott/James Cameron in the 80's action style. Connery was great in his as well as Nic Cage. Love the whole setting on Alcatraz Island.

Bay fell off after Pearl Harbour

Bad omen for him with that film

 

[DillaDeaf]

I love that flix, The Rock... you know it's so good when the guys in Call of Duty MW2 did the scene homage by making it a damn near playable level....I was geeked out.

I watched Another 48 Hours on Netflix, this movie holds up with time and the jokes are even funnier now that I'm older. The biker assassins reminds me of the SOA guys who work for Mr. Mayhem.

Give Another 48 Hours an solid A-

 

[TRILLip Brooks]

Watch "The Wolverine"

Shit wasn't that bad. It was actually kinda entertaining
