What was the last movie that you looked at with your eyes or maybe just heard?

[Batty Krueger]

Monuments Men.
It had John Goodman, automatic sell for me.
It was a good movie, not even Clooney could ruin it for me, and I hate that guy.

I hated how they changed it from "victory through sacrifice, wits, and skill" to "we've got better guns".

When you say guns, you mean their voices and words, then yeah, maybe. I think it's passable. Like a lot of things in the movie, it was very original, IMO.

I'd Climb The Highest Mountain (1951):

A city girl marries a preacher and both move to the country, where they face both happy times as well as painful ones.
To me, it's a reminder that the so-called "good ol' days" in the country had their tragic moments, like then-cureless diseases and plagues.
It used to be only available on VHS, until, by request, a DVD was released this year. They claim that they used the best source material available. Still, it has no extras, not even English subtitles, so keep your ears sharp.

On the other side of the spectrum...

Christine:

I don't do horror, but as a car guy, I had to watch it.
Have to admit, it's really well made in terms of special f/x and camera shots. I loved how they used George Thorogood's Bad To The Bone in certain scenes. I cringed every time something happened to Christine's body work. I related to the guy that bought her. Part of me didn't want Christine to die.
I liked it too much for my own good.

Godzilla (2014). I already let my opinion be known on its thread.

And chunks of movies like Aliens, Forrest Gump and The Blues Brothers.

I too watched Ecks-Men: Days of Future Past. The time traveller in me questioned if some of the things shown in the movie's depiction of 1973 were accurate.

Anybody that hasn't seen any of the other films will be okay if they have the talent to put all the pieces together. But if, like me, missed an end-credit scene or skipped a movie all-together, you're gonna end up with nagging questions that may detract from viewing enjoyment.
Also, if I was a bigger fan, I'd let a similar list of inconsistencies like this one bother me.

The Grand Budapest Hotel:

For some reason, it reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite, which I liked. If you enjoyed that movie, you'll love this one. If not, shut up and watch it anyways. It's a little long and bittersweet, but enjoyable.
Don't get too hung up on actors like Bill Murray or Jeff Goldblum, as their roles are minor with little screentime, but don't let that spoil the fun.

The Gauntlet:

I was gonna say something about the movie, but JUST LOOK AT THE POSTER!!! IT'S SO BOSS!!1!

 

[Harbinger]

Just watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, damn, hit pretty close to home.

 

[RedLeFrench]

Watched X-Men DoFP, which was pretty awesome in a mindless fun way and Maleficient... Holy hell this movie is weird. It takes everything you know from the original Disney lore and destroys it. The movie doesn't know where it wants to go. It sometimes is really dumb, and sometimes really dark, but nothing flows well... I can't really say if I liked it or not to be honnest.

 

[DrDingo]

The Wolf of Wall Street.
Really powerful film; I like it when my Dad chooses what film we watch. If my Mum chooses, it's normally about zombie nazis, killer slugs or the like.

2/5.​

[Wolveon]

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, my first time ever seeing it. The first half was a little dull, but it really picked up after that.

 

[RabidLynx]

Frozen. I've seen it about four times now and it was my choice to watch it only two times...

 

[sniperfreak223]

*shame face*

Up.

 

[Kit H. Ruppell]

Gumiho (1994)

Equal parts supernatural horror and tragic romance.
The fox girl's 'true' form is NOT pretty in the least- but Korean fox mythology sucks anyway.

 

[NerdyMunk]

3/5.​

 

[Feste]

A local theater just screened Mulholland Drive. I may have fanboy'ed a little. Then I was evil and brought four friends while telling them it was a funny noir....It was a glorious night

 

[ElectricBlue1989]

Mad Max 2:

First time I watched it. Man, was it insane!! I feel that I don't need to watch it again any time soon. It's mind-boggling how such a graphically violent movie can only have like one bad word.
The movie poster's cool art belies the dirty, gritty nature of the movie.
The car guy in me winced when the last of the V8 Interceptors bites it.

 

[Batty Krueger]

A documentary called Naked Pictures, its not what you think.

 

[Kitsune Cross]

 

[ElectricBlue1989]

Zack and Miri Make a Porno:

This film made me wonder whatever happened to the NC-17 film rating. Funny, though.

3/5.​

 

[Stroodle]

Watched Teeth for the first time, I thought it was hilarious XD

 

[ElectricBlue1989]

How to Train Your Dragon 2:

Surprised no one has mentioned it here...
I think I fan-boy'd a little too hard for this.
It had that Kung-Fu Panda 2 smell to it: It was darker, more mature and even sadder when compared to the original. It was longer, too. It was really good, but I still prefer the feel of the first movies.

They didn't take advantage of anything from the TV series. And yet, it's because of the TV series that made every character more likable, making it harder for me to take the death of a key character in the second movie... and creeped out by how they portrayed Ruffnut.

Last one for me as well; though didn't watch the TV series at all, so... hmm... I could nit pick the hell out of the movie, but I still liked it / enjoyed it.
