Already had a thread posted for it, but The Drop is a great movie. Tom Hardy is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors and it's bittersweet knowing it's the last time you'll ever see James Gandolfini.

Watched Sin City 2 yesterday. 6/10 id say. I dont think it was as bad as all of the reviews ive read say it was. For the movie they wrote 2 stories and the other 2 stories come from the comic book. Im not sure which ones were which, but the first 2 stories in the movie are dope. Story with Mickey Rourke and the story with Joseph Gordon Levitt. Then the last 2 stories were real boring to me. Well half of the 3rd was ok with Eva green.

Decent movie, worth the watch, but i would have been bummed paying 16 bucks to see it in theaters.

LOL. Y'all still put your faith in Michael Bay?

Anyway, recently I saw U. S. Marshals starring Tommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr.

It was the unofficial sequel to The Fugitive starring Jones and Harrison Ford

Man watching that I realised how versatile an actor Snipes was in his prime; action, sci-fi, drama, comedy, romance etc he dug his talents in

us marshalls was the shit. I haven't seen that movie in awhile.
 
watched Bad Neighbors, funny movie. lol at:

'Mario and Luigi before Thelma and Louisee..

Junk before Trunk, Balls before Dolls

Compadres before I sleep with 2 madres

Burt and Ernie before squirt and spermy'


the ones I remember at least

CAUTION TITAN GRAPH BELOW READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION :

i rented transformers age of extinction a few days ago(with hopes that things will be different. I give it a B for atleast it's (B)etter than revenge of the fallen which says a lot about this flick. 4 transformer movies in and I've come to the realization that I've been watching the same movie. a race of alien robots engaged in a civil war come to earth and brings their war here. here's what constitutes the transformers being the same movie in every sequel. the alien artifact. weather it's the cube, the matrix, space bridge components or a seed there is always some object that threatens to seal mankinds fate in some way. cheezy sexual innuendo jokes. they toned it down for this one but there was still some there. product placement. do movies really need to do this shit? a bud light truck gets wasted In the middle of a chase spilling the cargo and there it is right in our faces. to make it worse mark wahlbergs character(cade yeager) stoops down to pick up one of the bottles tosses his head back and down some brew in our faces making the movie look like a blatant advertisement. the robots same freaking thing I appreciate the movie makers giving the autobots more of a personality and slightly redesigning their look making them more distinguishable than a walking junk pile. also I'm glad they gave the new autobots as much equal dialogue and screen time as bumble bee and optimus but they were out of character. I found crosshair to be annoying(take note producers no brittish autobots leave that for the decepticons) bumble bee was an asshole. hound and drift were the best along with lockdown and optimus. galvatron wtf. lastly same type battles being played out with humans running frantically to get the alien artifact to a certain destination or keep it out of the hands of the enemy all while running in slow motion with pyrotechnics going off everywhere. and as usual there are two or three distinguishable franchise decepticons and a bunch of random unrecognizable no name robots. lastly the humans were annoying as usual especially with mark wahlbergs yeager as an overprotective dad. man look here that girl was graduating in a few days anyway break that chain and let that woman blossom pops. to wrap up this review I just want to say that i'm sick of Michael bay insulting moviegoers intelligence. I guess he knows most people are dumbasses that like big explosions and he's laughing all the way to the bank with it. just get it on with part 5 get that out of the way and then an immediate reboot because the transformer franchise needs to be done some justice. so there you have it a solid B. better than revenge of the fallen but almost as good as dark of the moon.

i agree
 
Panic Room - David Fincher crime thriller released in 2002 with Jodie Foster, Forest Whitaker and Jared Leto .. . since Fincher has a new film out (Gone Girl) his films are getting runs on TV (Film4). Another striking thing I liked about the film was the photography by the late Conrad Hall, who also shot American Beauty. Dude's use of light is exceptional .. .

The Good Shepherd - Robert DeNiro directed film about the CIA's involvement in the Bay of Pigs fiasco starring Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, Alec Bladwin, William Hurt, John Turturro and DeNiro himself. Its not an interesting film more like a historical document on screen with a little drama involved but I watched it late last night and was multi-tasking as I watched it. Its decent more for the production design of that era (1960s) .. .

Oldboy (2013) - This was the Spike Lee 'film' that was mauled by critics solely because it was a remake of a Korean cult classic so I actually spent money to watch it; I paid for an HD digital rental. I think its Lee's best film since 25th Hour over a decade ago. Josh Brolin excels as the morally bankrupt individual whose life undergoes torment and changes as he's locked in a room for 20 years (LOL). I liked the Oriental/far-east references. Spike included footage of major happenings over that period (9/11, Katrina, Obama's 2nd term) on the TV in the room. There was the signature 'doll movement' on a Spike joint, the photography was dope especially the aerial shots and the torture scenes were nasty but not too shocking (the editing was spot on) .. .

Good supporting cast too. Elizabeth Olsen and Samuel L. Jackson star. The main villain was control freak, good casting on that part. The twist and turns in the film flow well and the ending is shocking and hilarious; I was actually laughing.

The original cut of this film I read is 3 hours long. That was a 'Spike Lee Joint'

The studio cut it to over an hour and a couple minutes and it became a 'Spike Lee Film' ... both Brolin and Spike have expressed their disappointments in the original finished version stripped down but the studios don't give a fuck. The only colour they know is green

Its a 4/5 film for me. Spike did a great job
 
the inevitable defeat of mr. and pete-grade: A

this movie came out last year I believe and features Jennifer Hudson, Anthony mackee , Jordan sparks and that kid who played namond from the wire. the story revolve around a troubled Brooklyn(I think its brookyln) kid named mister who aspires to be an actor. he lives in his project bldg. with his drug addict prostitute mother(Hudson) who sometimes babysits pete who is the son of a prostitute friend. trouble starts when his mother is arrested during a sting and mister and pete are left on their own while dodging the housing authorities. it was a solid movie and the kid who played mister(I forget his name) did great. side note: @obnoxiouslyfresh I did not cry. i'm a man dammit! I drunk 3 cans of natural ice back to back just to make sure I didn't.

Last Man Standing starring Bruce Willis and Christopher Walken

It's a Western set in the 1930s with Willis as a contract hitman who heads over to Texas for some 'business'. For some odd reason there were 'wiseguys' involved too..

Very violent
 
the walking dead-A

I just finished the breaking b ad series on Netflix last june. I heard of these shows but back then true blood had my attention. thanks to Netflix I can catch up and see what the hype is about. i'm 2 episodes in and this show is the truth. this is show is more gory than the 2004 dawn of the dead movie. it is heavy on drama also with tense moments like the dude who couldn't shoot his zombified wife or suspenseful moments like when the cop first rode into Atlanta on horse back or when he and the little Asian dude covered themselves in zombie entrails and walked the streets so they wouldn't be detected by other zombies until it started raining. i'm hooked right now I might watch a six episode marathon this weekend.

1st season of The Walking Dead is GOAT. Shit got a emmy nod.

When they start looking for Sophia. Thats when the show takes a HUGE nose dive. Its still a fun watch, jus nowhere near as good as when it 1st started.
