kaputt Posted February 5, 2015 Last weekend I saw The Interview and really liked. Stupid movie, completely stupid, but pretty funny. Best James Franco comedic performance in my opinion. Also watched The Kid with a Bike, loved it. It's a small fable involving a kid, a bike, his terrible father and a really nice woman. Well, I don't know what to say without being spoilery, besides that it's a more grounded story, without many cathartic moments, but it resonates with you after the credits. Now I'm planning to watch All is Lost. I never had any really interest watching it, but last night I was sleepless and saw it on Netflix, so why not. But I got really interested and it wasn't helping me sleeping at all, so I just stopped to watch it at a better hour. Got hyped with it, loved that the film is just a silent Robert Redford trying to survive at the sea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwardinen Posted February 5, 2015 I would definitely go ahead and watch All is Lost. It's surprisingly gripping. It manages to command your attention despite the minimalism of performance. Still trying to decide whether I can be bothered to watch the Interview. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted February 6, 2015 I also really enjoyed The Interview. If you liked This Is The End, you'll like this. I preferred it to ********* Express. I watched The Machine, Ex Machina and Big Hero 6 recently and didn't think much of any of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick R Posted February 6, 2015 John Wick is a good solid action movie that doesn't insult your intelligence. Bit long, but the action scenes are really well shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mawd Posted February 6, 2015 I couldn't stand The Interview at all but I really liked This Is The End. Was my favourite latest Rogen show before I saw Neighbours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted February 6, 2015 I couldn't stand The Interview at all but I really liked This Is The End. Was my favourite latest Rogen show before I saw Neighbours. Damn. Okay, it's not guaranteed that fans of TITE will like The Interview. Maybe those that prefer TITE to Neighbours (which I thought was weak) are guaranteed to like The Interview..!

dartmonkey Posted February 6, 2015 Does anyone have a recommendation for a good adaptation of Hamlet?I'm surprised some wag hasn't posted this already. Don't worry, team, I'll be that guy, so you don't have to: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted February 6, 2015 I'm still waiting for opinions on Mel Gibson's Hamlet... Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe has started up again. First ep started off very strong but got bogged down in shitty contributors as usual - Philomena Clunk's sub-Ali G stuff is particularly dreadful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted February 6, 2015 John Wick is one of the best action movies I've seen in year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BusbyBerkeley Posted February 6, 2015 John Wick was a lot of campy fun. The action was pretty sweet too, but both The Raid movies have ruined cool looking fight scenes for me. They are just too fucking good. Watch those if ya like brutal mayhem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patrick R Posted February 6, 2015 John Wick was a lot of campy fun. The action was pretty sweet too, but both The Raid movies have ruined cool looking fight scenes for me. They are just too fucking good. Watch those if ya like brutal mayhem. I think "brutal" is the operative word for The Raid films. John Wick feels different, more balletic, more elegantly choreographed. Both have their place, but I prefer John Wick. After a while I grew numb to the Raid's endless brutality, even if the fights are all really impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted February 7, 2015 Netflix announces work on Zelda live action series, describes it as "“Game of Thrones” for a family audience, this person said." Ummm, what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twig Posted February 7, 2015 I said in IRC that I could actually see that making some sort of sense, if it didn't focus on the primary Link/Zelda/Ganondorf trifectaorce. It might be interesting to see the typical Zelda story from the perspective of Everyone Else. Of course I have little to no faith in this thing to deliver on anything like that.

SuperBiasedMan Posted February 7, 2015 I think when people make those kinds of comparisons they're probably basing it off a couple screenshots of the two series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henroid Posted February 7, 2015 Netflix announces work on Zelda live action series, describes it as "“Game of Thrones” for a family audience, this person said." Ummm, what? You don't remember all the politics in the Legend of Zelda? It makes total sense! Maybe they're assuming that Link is like Tyrion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigJKO Posted February 8, 2015 I quite liked The Interview. So if you liked ********* Express, haven't seen This is the End and liked the Neighbours trailer.. maybe you'll like The Interview? Wait, did that mess up Ben's formula for liking The Interview?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mawd Posted February 8, 2015 You're in luck - Neighbors 2 is on the way! I hope I do. I really liked that these were mostly one offs. The casts of these movies all have pretty amazing chemistry. I wouldn't mind them being thrown at different scripts/concepts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gormongous Posted February 9, 2015 Anyone seen the first few episodes of Wolf Hall yet? I'm enchanted so far. Even if the themes are slightly different, it preserves the guarded and meditative feel of the books, which is great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Ernst Posted February 9, 2015 A good movie is Enter the Void, even if the first scene makes me nauseous. You should watch it because for all its weird flaws, it is one of the most original viewing experiences you can have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
