Civil War last Thursday, and In the Heart of the Sea. As someone who first read the fantastic The Wreck of the Whaleship Essex in fourth grade and has read it many times since, the egregious inaccuracies were pretty disappointing, but I still liked the film for what it is.

Cloverfield. That is a movie that is seriously hated by most people i've talked to but I don't fully understand why? Yes there are some bad aspects of it. The party scene is one of the worst scenes I have ever seen in a movie and it goes on and on and on. I can also see how the camera shaking could be infuriating. Plot wise it's strange in the entire city of New York they keep running into the monster (although certain theories about there being two monsters actually explains that.)

However it's the only monster movie where the perspective is from the person on the ground who is just an average person. That's what I dig about the whole thing. If something like Godzilla or Clover attacked my city, I wouldn't be the guy running around trying to stop them. I like the main characters in Cloverfield would be trying to hightail my butt out of there.

Civil War, of course. Was pretty OK, though I'm getting tired of those grand moral dilemmas in superhero flicks. DC does that since Nolan's Batman, while Marvel stayed more action-oriented for a long time (and they are still un-realistic when it comes to technology and stuff), so it's still nice than DC cinematic productions.

Aside from the overall dilemma and the fact the film is non-stop brawl, it's cool. Love the newest rendition of Spidey, the best one to date.

Before the Captain America marathon, I re-watched Guardians of the Galaxy. Aside from first Iron Man flick, the best one that is in MCU.

My brother introduced me to Kill Bill.

It was weird. I can't say I appreciate most of Tarantino's art, but I can admit that it's art.

I think the reason that one fight scene in Vol. I turned Black and White was because they ran out of fake blood, and started using water.

Notice the blood becomes clear in those shots, instead of just black.

Here's a few I've seen recently...

Captain America: Civil War - Amazing. Spidey rocked.

Alice in Wonderland, the 1951 version - I haven't seen, like, any animated Disney classics, (I watched Mulan about a month ago) so I just felt like watching it. Pretty interesting. Minifigures in the CMF line are much cooler to me now.

Friday the 13th, 1980 - It was Friday the 13th yesterday, and again, I haven't seen this one in particular. Wasn't.. as great as I had expected. But it's the '80s. Eh.

I saw the live action Alice in Wonderland. Mentioned to me by someone before, I was kind of dismissing it due to silliness, and not being familiar with the source material and I didn't like the Disney's animated one very much. So how did this happen?

The one previous to that was the recent Alice Through the Looking Glass I went to see as I had an expiring ticket and my other options would've been been... no, just no.

I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and the prettiness and some time later when deciding on a movie on another event I gravitated towards Wonderland rather than the usual action movie.

I enjoyed those cute movies.

And got to admit to someone that they did tell me so! :classic:

I saw Song of the Sea. I thought it was fantastic. The animation was just gorgeous and the Celtic influences were really interesting.

Warcraft. There was a lot I liked, but more that I sort of just shrugged at. The animation on the orcs and the magic was really amazing, but that was about the only thing in the movie that seemed fully realized. As for the rest--story, script, characters, etc.--everything was lacking a little too much everywhere, to where the whole movie was largely unsatisfying. There was a little too much (nigh gratuitous) on-screen brutality for my taste, and some disturbing scenes; not a movie I am likely to see ever again. Lucky me I saw it for free.

(For context, I am only familiar with the franchise to the extent that the games were DOS-based :wink:)
