Seen all those movies. He was fine in "In Bruges" and "Seven Psychopaths", but he was overshadowed in those movies by other actors. Don't remember "Tigerland", been too long. He's just average to me. A wannabe leading man that had the looks but not the talent to take it to an elite level. Have to ad...

He's been slightly above average at best, he hasn't done anything that's made me really impressed with his talent. Agree that he chooses some awful material though.

Arsenal are doing what they do every year: shaky start, incredible finish. ¨ It's usually the other way around, actually. Last season we were leading the league until the collapse in March. Hmm, it hasn't felt that way watching them the last few years. Didn't they go on a 14 game run without a loss...

Finally got caught up on the games. Have to agree that it's not been a banner league for the EPL, but this time of year it's always compelling. Spurs finally Kane has been absolutely outstanding for Tottenham. I think at this point you get what you can for Paulinho in the offseason, and if you can g...

Really incredible documentary series. Even if they fudged the timeline at the end I don't care, I'm willing to give filmmakers dramatic license. If they really had that audio for years and didn't hand it over to the authorities that does deserve criticism as he's a goddamn murderer that could easily...

I hate Corolla. I hate his voice, his politics, and his monstrous ego. He really seems like he would be a huge asshole if you were to run into him in real life.

The movie looks pretty awful.

Hilarious finish. One of the all-time numbnuts plays in NFL history. It was the gods getting the Pats back for the ridiculous Tyree helmet catch from years ago. Sucks for Seahawks fans, but you guys won it last year so go fuck yourselves. Say what you will about the Patriots, but nobody wins like th...

I thought season 2 was fine, although the kid killing his own family was a bit ridiculous.

Hope Paige gets let in on the spy game. She's going to find out if nothing else.

Conquest... is the best apes sequel, fuck the bullshit you guys are talking about.

Thought this was fine, and Cumberbatch was deserving of a nomination, but Redmayne played the sick scientist better. I didn't really know much about the history of the Enigma, so I enjoyed learning about it. I wish they'd spent more time on the moral difficulty of allowing some German attacks to tak...

Saw this, and it's entertaining enough, but it's not a great movie by any stretch. It adds nothing new to the genre, and to say there aren't elements of propaganda here is a ridiculous assertion. Having said that, you almost always deal with propaganda in war films which doesn't necessarily make the...

Saw this recently. Very well crafted film, but didn't care much for the story at all. Keaton was born to play this role and he murdered it. Norton was brilliant and Galifinakis and Watts were really solid as well. I don't care for Stone in general, but she was palatable here despite being completely...

It's a poorly titled movie, but Oscar Isaac is brilliant in this. It's a dialogue heavy movie that's mostly well written and has a smattering of action throughout. Jessica Chastain is fine, and is always fun to watch but is given less to work with than Isaac. The rest of the cast holds their own her...

Talking animals is almost always a bad sign.

Honestly what sold me the most for some reason was Paul Rudd going '...huh..' and the 'change the name' line. I'm really not sure about him as an action hero and was thinking they would try to make him more gruff than he really is and it would come off forced, but those little moments were was so o...

The Scribbler Young Ones (2014) - I started out not liking this movie, but by the end of it I was a big fan which is a rare turnaround for me. Michael Shannon is the patriarch of a family stuck in a dust bowl type area in the future a la Interstellar. Water is hard to come by and life is a struggle...

Just watched The Equalizer. Thought it was fucking awesome, almost an 80's style actioner. I don't like Fuqua's stuff usually, but this was a ton of fun. Gonna have to add this to the collection. 8 outta 10.

The Scribbler (2014) - I'd heard some positive things about this, but what a derivative piece of crap this is. Some really poor writing backed up by mediocre special effects, and poor performances from actors that have done much better work than this (Garret Dillahunt, Michael Imperioli). Wholly pr...

It was the same actor.

Ok, so push it to early summer, or release it to smaller theaters that have more wiggle room with their release schedule. Something tells me the theaters can find a way to fit this movie into their schedule if they really want to.

Fuck these money grabbers that apparently don't give a shit about Artistic authenticity. The dude that made it changed to make a product that expressed his ideas and now they just shit all over it for a few bucks to make some overgrown man childs giddy. Can you honestly say that the movies are bett...

^^^ Kalel, my man, that makes no sense at all. That's beyond far-fetched. For real, he's on some Mulder I want to believe shit. Love you, Kalel. Jay knowing where Hae's car was trumps everything. If it wasn't Adnan and Jay it had to be Jay alone. No way it was some serial killer weirdo, plus the gu...

^Agree. The Interview stood to make a ton of money. What they should have done was just delay it a few weeks until after Christmas so the theaters wouldn't have been so worried about people not going to watch movies because of the "threat". It would also have given the intelligence agencies more tim...

C'mon now, she's pretty clearly been in Adnan's corner most of the way. She's probably going to say something like "I don't think the person I know now did it, but maybe the person he was in 1999 did." Her opinion really should have no bearing on any trial, I don't see why she wouldn't give it. In f...

Looks stunning as always.

I've never been a huge fan of Malick's storytelling, but his movies really are something to behold.

It would be so tired if that's the case. We've had six movies of that now, can we just make Luke secure in his goodness for once while he focuses on the new Sith emergence and Empire remnants?

This looks like it's going to be unbelievable, fuck anyone who has anything bad to say about the trailers. I'm fine with all of it.
