The Awakening - 6/10

This is portrayed as a horror movie but is more suspense. The acting, locale and the creation of a 1920s London setting was all done really well. It stars Rebecca Hall as a woman who likes to expose ghost theories and haunting's as being nothing more than a man made scam. And one of her cases brings her to an old English boarding school where there are reports of a ghost of a school boy haunting the school. The rest of the movie is about her trying to find out if the school is haunted or not. It also starts McNulty from the wire as the headmaster of the school. If you liked The Others then you will also like this movie.

Desperado
Four Rooms
Gladiator

I've never seen any of these and saw them all last night. They are all 8.5. Great action in Gladitor and Desperado. And Four Rooms was just overall entertaining. Particularly the last story.

There's a movie on Netflix worth watching, The Taking of Deborah Logan.

The movie, at first glance, seems like garbage and most will likely skip it. I nearly did. But.. It's actually really good. I'd give it a solid 7.5/10 for creepiness even if it starts out fairly slow.

There are some scenes towards the end that are pretty jarring. Definitely a movie to watch with your chick as she will get scared shitless.

I know I am late to the Interstellar party, but I just saw it Tuesday.

I honestly have no idea what to grade it. There were parts I loved and parts I absolutely detested. I certainly give a thumbs up to Nolan for what he attempted to do. It was an epic in every sense.

I have 2 big criticisms

1.) Matt Damon's character was terrible. He was obviously just thrust in to add a complication for the antagonists. The only human villain is only on screen for about 10 minutes, and isn't introduced until 2+ hours in. A made up natural disaster would've worked better.

2.) He tried to hard to tie everything up too nicely at the end. A movie with that many questions can't have that much hand waving at the end.

Matt Damon isn't the only human villain; in fact, he's like #3 on a long list. Remember, the primary antagonist in the movie is man himself; the deus ex machina is.. well.. you watched the movie, so there you go.

Also, I don't recall too many loose ends, but the movie ends almost exactly as Inception and Dark Knight Returns do; rapidly.. Nolan doesn't spend much time on film post-climax.

The Debt - 5.5/10

This is a good story with great acting but man was the pacing slow. The story by nature is not a fast paced one but I felt like the director made it even slower. The story is about 3 Mossad agents who have to go to East Germany during cold war and smuggle a Nazi doctor to Israel to stand and face trial. They fail. They return back to their country and lie that they killed the doctor. They are treated like heroes and years go by until reports surface that the doctor is found in Eastern Europe hospital.

I saw Interstellar a few days ago, I thought it was pretty good.

I REALLY liked it up to the point where

Spoiler

McCounaghey ejected inside the black hole

At that point, it just was too far out there for me.

Overall, definitely liked it, was disappointed in the final 30 minutes though.

Seeing great things about The Babadook. Trailers look creepy.

Supposed to be pretty deep psychologically, not just standard jump scares.

Really want to check this out when it comes out here.

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

Just saw Interstellar, and really liked it. 9/10. I'd agree that the Matt Damon angle was a bit...odd. And you could surely pick holes in some of the physics, and how the time debts rather conveniently "lined up" in the conclusion. But if you accept the idea of how/why the wormhole appeared, then all the technical quibbles regarding black holes and time flow kind of evaporate.

I personally like McConaughy as an actor, so that helped.

Found Babadook on youtube. It is really strong.

Very disturbing and depressing. I felt the same way I did during a lot of Requiem for a Dream during the beginning watching the mother struggle with her son.

Then it starts getting really scary...

@gourimoko @Nicky Check it out.

Saw Dumb and Dumber 2. Don't think it needs much of a review. It was pretty much the same. Had me giggling at times, but it was annoying how exact they tried to keep things. Like it's predecessor, it'll probably be funnier the next time I watch it, if that ever happens.

5/10.

I am saying I WISH there were more loose ends. He tried to tie up everything too nicely, and it didn't quite work for me.

Horrible Bosses 2 - 6/10

Pretty disappointing honestly. There were funny moments but overall just wasn't that funny. The first one was vastly superior. Oh well.

Didn't I just recommend Babadook in this thread? Weird you just posted this, I think my post didn't go through.. But definitely Babadook is worth watching...
