Into the Wild - Very good.

PorkSoda 10-21-2012 07:16 PM
Very good/10?

Blitz 10-22-2012 02:01 AM
I don't know how people disliked the ending to The Grey. I am assuming they are stupid.

Corporate CockSnogger 10-22-2012 08:06 AM
On the real! Not sure how having a 10 second fight between a man and a wolf would make the film any better.

stultiloquy 10-22-2012 12:24 PM
It may not have made the movie any better, but you would at least get a clear resolution from a final fight, no matter the outcome.

What I find to be the particularly glaring issue with the ending is that it felt severely misplaced to me, especially when you consider how absurd the rest of the movie is.

The entire movie is about
SPOILER: show
these guys surviving ridiculous circumstances - (circumstances which should have surely killed them 15 minutes into the film), all the while fighting off poorly rendered CG wolves, jumping off cliffs and surviving, making working tightropes out of shirts to cross chasms, and they cap it off with Liam Neeson taping shooters to his fists.

After all that they tack on a non-ending in an effort to induce a poignant cliffhanger, so they can try and get the audience to empathize with a character that's barely been developed.


When your movie has spent the previous 115 minutes fully embracing it's preposterous premise, it might as well commit to it through the end, rather than turn pretentious for the finale.

Like I said, it tried to take itself way more seriously than it should.

Just got out of Looper. Very well made. Acting from everyone is great. The end reveal is really sermon done. Loved this movie. 9/10

You get a very clear resolution to the film. I maintain that the ending is as perfect as it can get for this story. There is only one possible outcome to one man vs. a pack of wolves, and it isn't guy kills all wolves then a rescue helicopter flies over and everything is just dandy bars. The film ends with Ottway being done with running, making his stand, and knowing full well that he's done. But he's going out on his own terms. Not drowning in a river or falling off a cliff. Once more into the fray. That's the resolution, not something as pat as whether he gets rescued or not.

The main problem with The Grey was that it was marketed as Liam Neeson vs. Wolves, and that's not what it is at all. Just because the premise and some of the events of a film are preposterous, it doesn't mean the film itself was. There's not a lot of films that have genuinely realistic premises and characters. The characters are developed enough, it's just in a much more subtle way than most films. I didn't find any of them to be stock character like you might think you'd see in a film like this.

It was pretty funny but not the best hockey movie ever. Probably the best one since Slap Shot though.
Should give you a knuckle puck in the face right now.

Seven Psychopaths - 7/10

Sam Rockwell ruled in this.

The Condor 10-24-2012 01:32 AM
Finally got around to seing "Funny People." A solid 8/10, solid comedy and drama melding. The most amazing part is that I don't hate Seth Rogan in it, and it's probably Sandlers best movie since the Waterboy.

Bloodstained memoirs 5/10

feels like you weren't even paying attention to the film

Argo - 8/10

Road Warrior 10-25-2012 01:54 AM
Safety not Guaranteed 7.2/10

Droford 10-26-2012 12:13 AM
Cabin in the woods - wanted to like it..but in the end it felt like a spoof movie that took itself seriously enough to ruin the spoof aspect and just became a lame scary movie folloing a tired formulaic plot.

Not to forget to mention the fucking big snake both creeped me out and looked like something out of a low budget scyfy movie.
55/100

wwe2222 10-26-2012 10:19 AM
The Grey was so disappointingly terrible.

I thought Cabin in the Woods was alot of fun.

The Grey is a dope film. It's about Liam's journey and not fighting wolves.

PorkSoda 10-26-2012 01:03 PM
After Liam prays to God by yelling at Him, he says "I'll do it myself." I sure hope God didnt say "Good luck" to Liam.

Tactical Force - 2/10
Abduction 4/10. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Pretty intense at times with the hand-to-hand combat.
Knock Off - 3/10
I Can Do Bad All By Myself - 6/10.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - 10/10

Corporate CockSnogger 10-26-2012 01:20 PM
Amazing Spiderman - It was good but I found myself not really caring. I think I still prefer the first two from the last bunch of Spiderman films, although Garfield was better than Maguire and while I never really had a problem with Dunst as Mary-Jane like I know some people did, I think Stone as Gwen Stacy was done really well.

Everything to do with The Lizard was all very "meh" to me, even though The Lizard used to be one of my favourite villains of Spidermans in the cartoons.

Is that a joke?

PorkSoda 10-26-2012 03:34 PM
Yes. It's a reference to the movie "Taken"

The Wizard Of Oz - I give it 157/10

Damian Rey 10-27-2012 12:55 PM
Got around to Quantum of Solace. 7/10. Not as engaging as Casino Royale, but still pretty entertaining.

whiteyford 10-27-2012 05:37 PM
The Dictator 7/10

dronepool 10-27-2012 08:18 PM
Cloud Atlas 10/10


Movie of the year!!

El Fangel 10-29-2012 08:19 PM
Paranormal Activity 4 - 3/10 - Even for a PA movie it failed to deliver.

Eklipse 10-29-2012 10:18 PM
A Good Old Fashioned Orgy - 8/10
Fucking hillarious! It's on Netflix. Check that shit out.

whiteyford 10-31-2012 01:56 PM
American Reunion 7/10

Maybe i'm just too old but meh overall.

Lock Jaw 11-02-2012 12:12 AM
Never Say Never Again

8/10

I like the idea of an "over the hill" James Bond. Good to see Connery back in the role, but also "weird".

RoXer 11-02-2012 12:25 AM
5 Year Engagement - 35

Cloud Atlas was good, dunno what numerical number to give it

Blitz 11-02-2012 02:55 AM
Bigfoot-The Lost Coast Tapes-3.5/10. Incredibly generic and cliche with some of the worst acting and dialogue in recent memory.

Like Crazy-8/10. Beautifully directed. Story has me considering things, which is always a good sign.

Raven Reaper 11-02-2012 02:59 AM
Skyfall - 10/10

It felt like as if Christopher Nolan wrote the screenplay in invisible mode like in Dark Knight all over again.. And apparently, Bond even had a Bruce Wayne-ish kinda dark past on his dead parents gravestone.. :( And Lord Voldemort makes an appearance as his employer or shall we say a new one I guess.. To top it off, remember that black chick zombie slayer in 28 Days later? Well, she's now his sidekick agent.. Still this is much grittier on the same level as the first Dark Knight... Better than the last 2 Bond movies.

SPOILER: show
R.I.P. To M who died of an earlier gunshot after that dramatic rescue from Bond who killed that guy in No Country for Old Men.

RoXer 11-02-2012 11:02 PM
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World - 85

Really good first half of dark comedy. Ended up with a romantic ending.

RoXer 11-03-2012 01:33 AM
Safety Not Guaranteed - 86

Droford 11-03-2012 08:07 PM
Christmas story 2

Didn't actually watch it, but saw it was out on blu ray and looked at the trailer, and can safely say I'd probably rate it a
-77794777784336898/10

RoXer 11-04-2012 01:13 AM
The Campaign - 20

Tazz Dan 11-04-2012 01:18 AM
Magic Mike 6/10 - Kevin Nash deserves an Oscar for raising the movie from a 3 to the 6.

PorkSoda 11-04-2012 08:05 PM
Smokin Aces - 7/10
Maximum Conviction - 2/10. Steve Austin and Steven Seagal.
Dragon Eyes - 2/10.
Gingerdead Man 3 - 0/10. Some stupid movie I saw on Netflix about a *ahem* KILLER GINGERBREAD MAN! It sucked. It started off funny, but then sucked.
Snake Eyes - 8/10. The direction in this film is what made this film great. There was like a 12 minute one shot scene in the beginning and was fantastic.
The Amazing Spider Man - 6/10. I disliked the last 20 minutes, but everyone before I was into. Especially the part when Spidey catches the dude who killed his papi. Making him seem like a bad guy.
Safety Not Guaranteed - 9/10. Great. Just great.
