Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

Extreme silliness but never gets old

I introduced my kids to this one when they were old enough. They still enjoy it. That, and Bogus Journey.
"Dude, that's your Step-mom!"

"Shut Up Ted!"

In all serious when did they last make a teen comedy not involving sex, drugs and/or violence?

I'm sure you are, but this thread is supposed to be about the movies you've seen so how about sticking to that subject rather than bragging about yourself!

B, we are going to enjoy our time when we finally break bread together.

Does anyone else (besides TOM) remember when the threat of "military school" was something to be taken seriously? I was starting high school when the Vietnam war finally ended.

Black Sea. So so.

Two fine films.

Look what they made a documentary film of--the book Hitchcock/Truffaut.

The first line of the review says it all, "It is, film people agree, one of the few indispensable books on the movies." My copy is about 40 years old. I never would have thought it could be made into a film. Apparently it's quite good.

Mad Max: Fury Road.

*** Great popcorn flick, and one of the most subversively feministic films ever made. Good Theron performance, with a nothing script. Guitar rocker guy was one of the best parts of the film.

Time Lapse: pretty decent sci-fi esque thriller providing another perspective about how trying to manipulate time can just screw life up!

The Apple Pushers

Black Swan... Saw it when it first came out. Liked it more this time. Portman is great.

Don't remember much about this movie other than a particularly "intriguing" scene with Portman and Mila Kunis.

I really should watch it again.

Sequel to Bladerunner

"The long-awaited sequel to "Blade Runner" appears to have found its director..."

Even if you liked this movie (I didn't), was everyone waiting for a sequel?

One of the seminal science-fiction movies of all time and the two movie buffs either haven't seen it or don't like it?

I had heard that the sequel was going to have Denis Villeneuve direct a few months ago. Should make for an interesting and beautifully shot movie.

I'm envious.

American Sniper

Mad Max - Fury Road

Awful. Terrible. Horrific. Sucks.

Seriously, how did it get such a high rating? I don't even know where to begin...

98% on Rotten Tomatoes with 92% audience score, must be the Citizen Kane of post-apocalyptic movies. However I think your review is probably right on the money.

American Sniper

maybe I expected more...

The only things that made this watchable (i.e., I didn't leave) were:
1) I went with friends and one was my ride home
2) Was a theatre with the new lounge seats that recline back quite a bit and are extra wide so you're not rubbing elbows with your neighbor
3) The theatre served beer
4) Did I mention I did not drive myself to the theatre?!

I thought Charlize Theron actually did a pretty good job in this film. But this is another one where you ask yourself . . . was anyone clamoring for a Mad Max redux?

Whiplash--81 pts.

American Sniper:

Meh...didn't care for it at all.

Reflections in a Golden Eye

That was an odd movie.

13 Assassins, first the original Eiichi Kudo one from '63 then the 2010 remake.

A favorite. Perhaps Elizabeth Taylor's greatest line:

Have you ever been collared and dragged out into the street and thrashed by a naked woman?

I have started American Sniper twice now and have fallen asleep both times within the first 30 mins. Not for me.

Loved the book, but the movie...nope. Too many "cringe moments" to count...

Time to watch A Beautiful Mind again!

Action in the North Atlantic - a fitting tribute to the men, and unsung heroes, of the Merchant Marine and the Battle of the Atlantic in WWII.
