Been watching a lot of movies recently. 1. Creed, Amazing movie I have been a fan of Rocky since I was a little boy, I loved Rocky Balboa and this was even better. I had a lot of emotion, and amazing fight scenes. 8.5/10
2. The Hateful Eight, I really enjoyed The Hateful Eight, It's a Tarantino movie from start to finish. Everyone is extremely well made and it make me laugh and think just wonderful. 8/10
3. Sicario, This movie was a rollercoaster it built slowly but when it peaked it was great. but it Crashed down again fast in the end, I didn't care for the Tunnel scene or the end at all. Over all decent film 7/10
Is it just me, or does it seem like the Hateful 8 will be one of those movies people will appreciate more after its out on Bluray? I mean to go see it, but it has just been completely overshadowed.

The hipsters jumped on the Nolan express and hype his movies up to no end. Tarantino is yesterday's news so to say
I enjoyed The Hateful Eight btw and reviewed it on page 366 of this thread if you are interested.

I read it at the time, I'm down with Snake Pliskin any day of the week, I just have to figure out when I'll get to see it. I think I owe my fiancee the next movie which may be the force awakens with her mother.

How is it different from Fault in My Stars. Feels like a cash grub because of the premise being similar.
Bertman Berd Blood Bertwoman and Bertwin introductions.
This wasn't as good as the previous Bertman movies storywise, but the action was all there. + Show Spoiler +
No scary major villains since Heretic dies. I guess Batman becomes the major villain but it'd be better if he fought more than just Nightwing.
Talia starts to not care about Damian. I don't think this was her character in the first movie. It doesn't feel like she developed these feelings while training multiple Damians either. And I doubt she went mad from overuse of the Lazarus Pit since as far as we've seen she's only used it once.
I think they took every opportunity to introduce Bertwoman as a lesbian and it was overdone.
I actually enjoyed Me and Earl and the Dying Girl a little bit more than Fault in our Stars. Very similar indeed, but one just FEELS just a little bit better.

Mixed bag here, it takes a subject that the average person won't understand and attempts to modernize it and make some parts simple enough for people to understand, but then mixes that in with often lengthy conversations about complex business and economic terms. Definitely not a movie you can just have on in the background, there is basically zero action in the movie, you have to really pay attention to the script.
There are a lot of interesting techniques at work but I won't spoil the majority of them, one technique used is having famous people explain terms used in the movie as comedy, hard to explain.
The soundtrack is incredibly strange and sparse, it was often dead silent in the movie theatre.
There is a fair amount of both obvious humor and very subtle humor, felt the humor of the movie was spot on.
Overall it's a strangely paced movie with an incredible script that some of the cast members bolster and some unfortunately detract from it (Brad Pitt has no reason to even be in the movie, his storyline is incredibly stupid and serves little purpose) and Steve Carrell is unbearable at times with his poor acting (only seems to have one tone to his voice)
cool to watch a young Michael Caine. Interesting to see how pop culture viewed scientific research in the 60s. the cars are cool. brits with perfect use of the word "eh".
Me, Earl and the Dying Girl Like Fault in our stars is realistic.
I guess we need a new novel/film since the young adult work on dealing with sickness/death that people usually think of: Death be Not Proud is a bit outdated. Still I think Neither Fault in Our Stars nor Me, Earl, and they Dying Girl are outstanding.
Miss you Already I can't understand British accents and got bored. Not what I thought the story was going to be.

You should try watching Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels on VHS.
Just wanted to pop in and say that "The Fighter" "Warrior" and "Southpaw" are all much, much better boxing / fighting films than Creed is.
That film lacks so much emotion its not even funny, the script is terrible and there are some really terrible scenes, there was zero reason whatsoever for the woman to legitimately be in it except "Oh, we need a love story in this!" The whole thing just felt forced. Lets not even get started on the boxing, they didnt even try and adapt any realism and its painfully obvious to anyone whos ever seen a real boxing match to the point where while its entertaining to watch two guys beat the shit out of eachother like an anime, its nearly too cringeworthy to watch.
As someone whos never really seen the rocky films (ive seen parts of them over the years or watched them while in a busy gathering etc) I have to call Nostalgic loyalty on this one, much much better boxing/fighting films have been released.
Such a good horror/psycho thriller. One of the best horror movies of all time for sure. Second time i watched it and it still affected me greatly, i don't think you could have done the theme any better. NOT looking forward to the remake at all. They will butcher it 100% ..
