Christian Bale really porked out for that one.
As for the plot, well I didn't see it coming.

Watched this last night for the first time (before the New Year's Eve heavy drinking celebrating really got started). You have to buy in to the underlying zombie mechanism, but once you do it's all good. I decided it was reasonably plausible.
There were still some stupid moments, but overall I found it to be surprisingly entertaining. That's the whole point of a movie, isn't it? I didn't think it was a total waste of time and turn it off anyway.
Elysium

Odd one this. It all _sounds_ great, setting, cast, director, but it's just not that engaging.
Agreed,

I felt it spent too much time on the rather dull main character, and not enough exposition on how the world ended up how it did, and the mindset and culture of Elysium.
Kona: GOT is essential IMO, it really is as good as it's made out to be.
God Bless America
is nowhere near as good as the trailer promised. Or at least it was made out to be more comedic perhaps, it was actually quite a sinister film.

I saw this tonight. Pretty good story. After watching it I realized that, basically the only actor was Sandra Bullock. Yeah, George Clooney was there and one other guy for a while anyway, but mostly just Sandra Bullock. And she did a very good job.
When it hit the fan (so to speak) the amount of space debris they needed to do the damage that was shown is pretty much not there. I don't think the world has put that much junk into space yet, and getting it to all home into one target is a whole 'nother story. Other than that it was pretty believable.
The special effects, free-fall stuff, space scenes, etc. all were very well done and convincing.
Sandra Bullock pretty much carries this show. She's a very attractive woman and turns 50 this year - hard to believe isn't it?

no mention of Prisoners yet? Just watched and want to highly recommend it. Very thrilling, dark, drama thriller. I don't want to watch it again but enjoyed the ride.
Man Of Steel

Good in parts, boring in parts (indestructible characters thumping each other, yawn...). It made me want to see a version of the story that focused on his parents struggling to cope with a child with superman's powers!

Even will all the typical TV series character drama, I thought Smallville did provide the proper beginning story to the Superman character. I believe it even inspired (format / story layout wise) the BBC Merlin series, which is another favourite of mine.
I did not enjoy the Man of Suck, the story was dumb, the special effects over the top, the environment depressing and dark and I did not feel like the Superman character inspire me with any hope.
Prometheus Actually Explained (With Real Answers) - I found this and it might help people understand or not the movie more. The film sounds better after watching this video, I will have to give it another chance. I thought it was dumb but apparently I missed all the clues and did not read the special website.

3 Idiots (2009): If you skip the dancing parts it is a funny and "deep" indian movie about some guys in university. I liked it a lot.
The Wolverine (2013): I liked it! Great work with music.
Big Night (1996): Pretty random but feel-good movie. Don't watch on an empty stomach.
PS: Still nothing about Prisoners? Watch it!
Lol Its Hardly Deep
#5287 posted by nitin on 2014/02/12 01:37:26
but I agree that its one of the few recent hindi movies worth watching.
Also agree re music in Wolverine, didnt like movie overall but its not bad and the midway action scene + music was fantastic.
#5288 posted by Spirit on 2014/02/12 09:24:49
well, deeper than wolverine for sure!
Elysium was interesting.. but the villians just totally out shone Matt Damon i thought.
I'd put off seing Aeon Flux movie because i wanted to take in the MTV first. Anyway... they both blew me away :). Hard pressed to say which was better.

A mostly feel-good dramedy about the bumbling, bungling antics of a bunch of down-on-their-luck Somalian pirates who end up biting off more than they can chew with the attempted hijacking of a large US container ship.
Heavy on the slapstick, it's written as a sidequel/sequel to both Forrest Gump and Castaway, and I enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the heartwarming "Aww shucks, see we can all get along!" ending.
Three stars.

Huh, I did get quite a different feeling from it. It was grim and not feel good at all. Great movie!

300: Rise of an empire
Expected a silly movie but got a dumb stupid one instead. Maybe if you want to see Eva Green's tits. 4/10
Well.
#5294 posted by Shambler on 2014/03/09 21:53:38
The original 300 was dull and pointless as fuck. Yeah yeah sepia filter, yeah art style WOTEVER. Can't say I'm tempted by the new one.

the moment I heard black sabbath being mixed with big a bassy orchestra for the trailer, it had casual blockbuster viewer written over it.

did you the see first one? what did you expect?
Heh
#5297 posted by Tronyn on 2014/03/10 01:04:37
I thought the first one was utterly mindless and silly, but Eva Green is lots of fun, even if she is getting typecast as a sexy evil witch. lol. Snyder is really hit and miss for me, but his movies tend to have great trailers.
I was just looking at all the movies coming out this year, and unless something surprises me there's really not much to look forward to until Interstellar in November.
