rodiziorobs Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Red Army, a really interesting doc. about Russian hockey during the cold war. I don't really like much sports (hockey is generally the exception), and I don't watch many documentaries, but this one was very fascinating. Quote
samurai-turtle Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I rewatched "G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra". As I watched it again I thought, when Scarlet was driving the bike it looked CGI'ed. I would of thought it could of been done with stuns doubles. Quote
Tariq j Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I watched Minions Last night, it was a good film, I must say I think the Appearance of young Gru at the end was a nice touch. Quote
Bornin1980something Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I recently had my first ever blu-ray night with my parents. The film was Apollo 13, already my favorite space movie, and the best way to remember James Horner. The last film I watched, however, was Space Camp. This story of juveniles blasted into space was overshadowed on release by the Challenger disaster, and has been unfairly panned since, IMO. It is loaded with technical errors, but in every other way it was better than I remembered it. It was one the first live action movies I saw on tv, and seeing it on a 'vanilla edition' dvd, in 4/3, on a large black tv brought back my childhood. Pure 1980something! Quote
K-Nut Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I watched Minions Last night, it was a good film, I must say I think the Appearance of young Gru at the end was a nice touch. I myself did not enjoy it. I thought that appearance was cool, but definitely forced. Michael Keaton was great, but I felt otherwise the movie was very generic and didn't have the charm of either of the Despicable Me movies nor the Minion characters in them. Quote
coffeefund Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 The last time I went to the cinema to watch a movie was so long ago that I couldn't even remember what it was... Quote
Iria Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 'Oblivion' and 'Moon'. I've really been into space movies lately. Need more. Quote
CMP Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I saw Ant-Man. Really funny. But the best moment was when they showed the Force Awakens trailer in the previews. As it finished a guy in front of us "woo'd", and immediately, like half the audience burst into intense applause. Best thing I've seen all year. Quote

I had a similar experience at the premier for Age of Ultron. I also saw Ant Man. It was very good, though some moments are a bit ridiculous, but in a good way. Quote
fred67 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) 'Oblivion' and 'Moon'. I've really been into space movies lately. Need more. I haven't seen oblivion, but I liked "Moon" a lot. I just watched some dumb horror flick called "The Town that Dreaded Sundown." It can safely be missed. Edited July 20, 2015 by fred67 Quote
-zenn Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Insurgent was the last movie I've seen... Thought it was pretty weak compared to Divergent. Quote
Vindicare Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Ant-Man. Sunday & today. I enjoyed it. Especially so because I didn't nit pick afterwards, since I don't know much about Ant-Man/Lang. it was cool, but predictable seeing the new Wasp suit. It looks rad. Falcons suit is also pretty awesome looking, great fight also. The second scene though...yes! So, we now see that Cap, Falcon, & Bucky are on one side(presumably Lang as well). What & why did they not want to tell Stark about Bucky though? I'm assuming it has something to do with the arm...or is it just what you see at face value, a set up for Civil War.

My guess is you've probably seen Solaris, Prometheus and Interstellar. So some lesser known recommendations; Makes me wanna watch a movie as well. Edited July 21, 2015 by -zenn Quote
Krikkit Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Ant-Man. If you liked moon and oblivion, try Elysium and edge of tomorrow. Quote
Iria Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 My guess is you've probably seen Solaris, Prometheus and Interstellar. So some lesser known recommendations; Makes me wanna watch a movie as well. Thanks for the recommendations! I haven't seen a bunch of them, including Solaris (though I have been looking for it lately). Quote
fred67 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Ooohhh.... Pandorum is a very under-rated movie; it has a horror slant to it, though, so if you like something like Aliens you'd probably like it. Of the other ones, I've also seen Sunshine, and thought it was really good, too. Quote
Iria Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) I haven't seen oblivion, but I liked "Moon" a lot. Oblivion and Moon have one common plot theme, but are otherwise opposites in many respects. Moon is a great hard sci-fi movie. I really appreciated and enjoyed it more on the second viewing. So sad. Oblivion's got great action and amazing visuals (same director as Tron Legacy). If you liked moon and oblivion, try Elysium and edge of tomorrow. Elysium has been on my 'need to watch' list for a while. Edge of Tomorrow was a bit too Ground Hog Day-ish for my liking. It wasn't at all a bad movie, but it still drove me a bit crazy . Ooohhh.... Pandorum is a very under-rated movie; it has a horror slant to it, though, so if you like something like Aliens you'd probably like it. Of the other ones, I've also seen Sunshine, and thought it was really good, too. I will be sure check these out. Thanks! Edited July 21, 2015 by Iria Quote
Vindicare Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Trainwreck. John Cena & LeBron James stole the show for me, they were hilarious. Great movie overall. A ton of comedian cameos. Quote
Ultron Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Ex Machina. Pretty good movie...although I was expecting more of a resolution. Quote
Artanis I Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Ex Machina. Pretty good movie...although I was expecting more of a resolution. I couldn't sleep after this movie! I wasn't really expecting that kind of ending. I'm a sucker for pretty girls, so the ending messed up my mind for a bit, haha. The thing is, the AI was such a success that she was able to manipulate others to serve her own personal interests. And with no conscience, the eventuality makes sense in the end. (Although, I'm not sure how long she would last before the battery runs out.) Quote
fred67 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Struck by Lightening. Fairly low budget movie with nobody I knew in it, but it was pretty good - over 4 (out of 5) stars on Amazon Prime. Quote
Kintobor Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Perfect Blue. Quite possibly one of my new favourite movies. The film's an excellent psychological thriller, and a great mind screw at times. The film's told from one characters viewpoints, even from scenes she's not in, so it makes for some creative storytelling. I'm starting to find appreciation for the work of the late, but definitely great Satoshi Kon. If you haven't seen it yet, you really owe it to yourself at least one viewing of it. Quote

Damn I forgot how much of a thriller that one was. It's a bit screwy and probably not for everyone, but I definitely enjoyed it. As for me, I rewatch MI4: Ghost Protocol in preparation for the new film tomorrow. Definitely my favorite of the series, especially with Jeremy Renner. Really hoping the new one can live up to this film. Quote
Vindicare Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) A LEGO Brickumentary. A fantastic movie. Showed a lot of the community, behind the scenes of a lot of projects, the life size X-Wing build, Nathan Sawaya and his exhibit, among many others. A fun look at brick films, Brick Arms. Definitely watch if you can. Sadly, no mention of Eurobricks. Edited August 1, 2015 by Legocrazy81 Quote
Jedi-Bendu Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Point Break (1991) A movie I've seen a few times (although the last time must have been 15+ years ago). Still perfect and it brought back some memories. Unbelievable that later this year a remake will be released. Quote
