2012 was a gaping ass-canyon of a movie. only two kinds of people enjoyed it: enviro-porn afficionados and the mentally retarded

Black Swan. 6/10 bored the shit out of me.

I don't know what it is that people like about this film. Sure there was fairly good acting and the film making was good but it never pulled me in. The only thing that might make it gripping for a few is if they have a history of schizophrenia in their family and friends circle. I understand that Ballet is just the chosen vessel of the plot, but I have no interest on the subject so maybe that's why i couldn't really connect with anything going on.

the only reason it was good is because two hollywood stars got busy in front of the camera, which actually served to pull me away from the world of the film even more.

Tron Legacy, 7/10 (loses one point for making me watch it in 3D).

Did what it was expected to do, ending predictable and not really satisfying.

The Fighter - 8/10 - superb acting from the entire cast. only false note was the obligatory fight montage during Mickey's comeback. it didn't get caught up in the star-fucking (Ali) or pseudo-mythology (Raging Bull... no offense to either).

The Green Hornet = 1/10 - Fuck off.

The King's Speech = 7/10 - Pretty good.

The only way The Fighter could have been better is if it was in 3D and the punches came through the screen INTO YOUR FACE.

Interesting article on 3D:

Why 3D doesn't work and never will.

"I received a letter that ends, as far as I am concerned, the discussion about 3D. It doesn't work with our brains and it never will.

The notion that we are asked to pay a premium to witness an inferior and inherently brain-confusing image is outrageous. The case is closed.

This letter is from Walter Murch, seen at left, the most respected film editor and sound designer in the modern cinema. As a editor, he must be intimately expert with how an image interacts with the audience's eyes. He won an Academy Award in 1979 for his work on "Apocalypse Now," whose sound was a crucial aspect of its effect."

I thought because it had Seth Rogan it might be entertaining. I was wrong.

good read Lawl. The funny thing is, I have made most of these observations to myself every time i watched a 3D movie, but that bit about image choppiness is very interesting, I always thought it was all a matter of low fps more or less instead of a physical limitation.

Agreed.

But I am pretty sure that you're a huge consumer of Kleenex if you jack off to pictures of the ex-wife who divorced you and cry yourself to sleep every night.

Not sure though.

The Losers

Perfectly acceptable mindless popcorn movie. Even a few chuckles here and there.
Haven't seen the A-Team movie yet, but that should be like this, only with more recognizable characters.


Stone

Fucking :yawn:
You can just see De Niro and Norton both thinking: "Yeah, he's an interesting actor, let's do this project together".
(At least, I don't remember seeing them together in a movie before?)
Little did they know the script is one of the most boring yawnfests that got shat out in the past 5 years. Fucking tedious.

But what really slaughtered it was Milla Jovovich getting naked.
She probably prides herself for being 'all natural', etc., but with teats bigger than tits, one wishes she *had* shit done.

The Thaw

I'll admit, I have this morbid fascination where I like to watch movies dealing with the destruction of humanity.
Be it zombie apocalypse, aggressive viruses, meteors on a collision course with Earth, aliens out to harvest our...whatever, I eat that shit up.
Probably some misanthropy I cultivated over the years.

Anyways, desperately wanting to see a movie in that genre, I searched imdb and came across this stinker.

Please do not watch.
Very weak "The Thing" ripoff; poorly executed CGI shit (inch long parasites, no cool stuff), annoying actors and as a bonus bloated Val Kilmer on sedatives.
(What the fuck happened to that guy?)

In that case you might also not want to check out:

Skyline 2/10
All the inhabitants of LA get eaten and crushed by outer space aliens that use human brains to power their machines or something stupid like that. Unspeakably bad actors form a band of survivors that run between apartment buildings trying to avoid blatant CGI ripoffs of aliens you've seen in a dozen other movies, whilst screaming senseless dialogue that makes you want to punch yourself.

Really, really bad. Avoid.

Actually, I already did :olo:
Yup, awful.
Especially the ending OMG SPOILER ALERT where the guy defends the chick with his brain transferred into that alien body.
Although that was probably the entire movie's one and only redeeming factor, because it made me lulz over the credits.

Plus always sad to see actors like Dexter's Angel Batista grasp for straws in movies like this.
They've been perfectly casted for this one part, and it's kind of embarrassing to see how they think that's some sort of stepping stone to a Hollywood career.

Comes off a little "crotchety old man" to me.

Image is dark: big deal, known side effect of this particular tech.
Image is smaller: honestly not sure what he's on about here, the few I've seen I didn't notice this effect
"Strobe effect": He's comparing new to a movie he edited in the 80s, the tech is different even if he says it isn't.
Eye focus issues: Whine. If most people are getting headaches after 20 minutes they don't seem to be talking about them or leaving the theatre. He might be on to something here but I'd like to hear from someone who understands the eye and focus and all the first. I mean, we're constantly changing focus every time we look at something anyway. You'd think the brain would actually be more confused about a picture that we would expect to have depth being flat.

Like I said what he says may be true but I don't see it condemning the industry and I doubt 3D will be a passing fad, now. He comes off as an old man shaking his fist and going "chaaaaaaange".

"Won't work and never will. Case closed." lol, sounds like a foot in mouth moment.

Fair Game = 7/10 - Another movie about the Valerie Plamegate outing that'll simply remind you just how fucking slimey the Bush administration was. Decent performances but I have no idea how accurate the script was to reality in terms of conversations...which sorta diminished the overal impact.

And of course if you're a Republican or right-wing warmongering shithead then this movie will do nothing but further convince you that Joe Wilson was a traitor...because you're a fucking moron.

The Big Bang = 5.5/10 - An minimally entertaining film undermined by horrible acting, shitty production values and a throughly worthless plot.

Sienna Guillory is so hot, she really should do porn.
