Last movie you watched

[sushi]

"Lucy" and "transcendence"

 

[TheManBeyond]

last night i was watching "Colorful" but i was tired and leave it for tonight, so far so good.

 

[Valentas]

"Castaway on the Moon". Truly great movie.

 

[TheManBeyond]

"Castaway on the Moon". Truly great movie.

it was ok but too damn slow for me

 

[Jennywocky]

Aladdin.

Seen it so many times before, but I was in the mood for a pick-me-up.

 

[Valentas]

it was ok but too damn slow for me

Ugh? Well yes. But the idea was kind of unique and you had to always pay attention because it is not in English, so subtitles were a must. I believe that if you watch thos movie with your GF she would be very happy I recommended it to my friend and she was very impressed and you know...women

 

[nanook]

last movies that i liked a lot (8 stars material)

the hunt (about fucking moronic idiots aka 'good people' being their usual nazi selves. mad mikkelsen rocks as usual.)
the east (rage against the machine)
adore (about MILFS - best movie genre right. i dig naomi)
only god forgives (artistic / stylistic movie)
place beyond the pines (mixed movie, i like the initial main character and dare i say actor)
transcendence (exploration of ideas around the nature of consciousness, bit dry, but love the ideas)

 

[DropDeadRed]

What dreams may come. Weird enough. I like.

 

[B.C.P.]

The Fountain
Edge of Tomorrow
Brazil

 

[Cheeseumpuffs]

The Grand Budapest Hotel and Snatch.

Snatch always seems to remind me of Trainspotting for some reason. Maybe it's just the fact that it features unsavory characters from the UK, because I can't find any other reason that I put them in the same place in my mind.

 

[Solitaire U.]

Just saw Guardians of the Galaxy. Wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. Definitely my new favorite Marvel movie. I think this one maintains a much closer tie to its comic book roots than any other Marvel film. Two hours of pure action from start to finish with never a dull moment. Rocket Rac, Gamora, and Drax were portrayed just as I'd come to expect in the books. Star Lord was a bit of a disappointment, as I felt his character was watered down for comic effect, but that's also to be expected from any Marvel film. Gotta have the smart-assed lead character.

Was also kind of bummed that Thanos has a total of around 2 minutes of screen time. I guess they're saving him for the inevitable GotG 2/3/4 etc.

Just be forewarned...this flick, by its Marvel nature, is just as shackled in terms of vanilla-ized PG13 violence and profanity as all others in the genre. Still fun though.

 

[Reluctantly]

Blue is the Warmest Color

I liked it a lot. I felt like I got to experience another person's intimacies, though the movie does seem to border on softcore porn at times, which I guess some people might not like.

 

[Liebling]

Last movie I watched: About Time

I don't usually do love story, but while it was marketed as such, it really wasn't a love story at all. It was an important message about the perception of things, and how you judge your world by your own expectations and how to change that perception to make a happier you. I liked it overall, despite it's minor logical flaws.

 

[Jennywocky]

Captain America 2: The Winter's Soldier

Aside from minor disappointment in having the identity of the soldier spoiled for me on a general news site two days before I saw this (arrrrg, jerks), the action sequences in this movie were pretty amazing and the movie itself one of the best superhero and/or action installments. Just very solid and in alignment with the character of Captain America as well addressing topical themes in western culture and government and tech.



Shame

Great acting by Mulligan and Fassbender, and I like the complexity of their characters; both have some big problems, both make some good points. It's a surreal experience to watch and get inside the guy's head, but I don't remember much detail after seeing it last month except how it felt -- the obsessiveness, the empty thrill of the sex, the misery of feeling compelled to pursue behavior that led nowhere. The most amazing scenes in the movie didn't really show skin and/or hard sex; and the one real p0rn-ish sex scene near the end managed to be entirely non-provocative (which I think was the point). I like how the subway scene is revisted at the movie's end and wondering where he goes from here.

 

[Direwolf]

They are saving thanos for avengers 3 when the guardians team up with the avengers to beat thanos. Awesome right?

Last movie i saw was dracula untold. It was epic.

I really want to see Shame, you make it sound like a Palaniuk novel and that makes me only want to see it more. I like Fassbender in so many things so I will definitely add this to my watchlist.

 

[J-man]

Frozen. My favorite scene is where Elsa sings Let It Go. That's the part where I cry the hardest. I always cry during these kinds of movies. (the closest thing we have to a crying emoticon)

 

[Reluctantly]

Saw Gaspar Noe's "Enter the Void" the other day and that was a head trip of a movie. A first person perspective death story based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. More of a trippy experience than anything else. It's not for mixed company, though. It's unrated, but if it had a rating it would be NC-17, at minimum.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKRxDP--e-Y

Enter The Void

It made me feel sick and empty.

It's an experience, and one of the rare movies which remind me why I like this medium; I don't think I could stand watching it again when sober though.

It was a little depressing seeing him look into everything, but not being able to do anything about it. It felt empty. I thought the end was funny...with the rebirth concept.

 

[TheManBeyond]

Snatch, pretty overall, it has a few good jokes here and there, i saw the movie becuz of brad pitt's body, that's my goal right now to achieve that awesomeness. Besides that, great first combat + golden brown song. I'll give it 6.5/10

 

[grayskies]

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) with Winona Ryder & Gary Oldman.

 

[Jennywocky]

"X-Men: Days of Future Past"

It was a disappointment to me in terms of the source material it was based on; however, when I took it as its own entity, it was enjoyable enough.

Magneto is a total badass; both movies with Fassbender playing him, Magneto is perfect. he really gets the character.

The other highlight is Quicksilver: Finally someone managed to use a speedster in a convincing and entertaining way. I love the "Time in a Bottle" sequence.

 

[Pizzabeak]

Finally saw Radio Free Albemuth, I think it was made in 2008 but just now got distribution via Netflix Instant...

It was a fairly likeable adaptation but the book obviously went into more detail. Not sure how paranoid Dick was for this one but it's a fairly decent source concerning Illuminati for those interested.

 

[Direwolf]

Disturbia. Its been a while since i last watched it but it was good to see it again

 

[nanook]

dawn of the plantet of the apes. apes are great actors ♥
*nobody knows what it's like, to be the sad ape, named blue eyes.*

lucy. good experience and inspiring thoughts, that's a plus.

the homesman. excellent character study.

the grand budapest hotel. entertaining, lighthearted.

edge of tomorrow. exciting Sci-Fi.

i rate my subjective experience of these movies with eight stars.

 

[TheManBeyond]

Interstellar, probably the most INTP movie ever created, almost every character is one luls. Quite disturbing at some spots but it makes you want to know more about how the universe works.

 

[Reluctantly]

The Game. The main character is kind of annoying, he seems to play and be the role of what it means to grow up and be responsible and mature, I guess. But the mind-fuck he goes through due to the game he gets involved in is interesting. It's a game where reality gets manipulated and the player has to deal with the change in meaning of what's going on.

 

[Jennywocky]

Interstellar (Christopher Nolan)

Movie with lots of potential, although I think only some of it was realized. Still, I liked it a lot better than TDKR so it's hard to complain. I think in the end I took away a positive, inspiried spirit regardless and that was worth something. McConaughey was a lot more solid here than in "Contact" (similar-toned movie), but in the end "Contact" might have been the more solid movie overall in terms of cohesion and dramatic impact. Still, this movie had some great scenes and potentially poignant spots; the rational coherence is still being debated by fans.

Great movie, great acting... and I love how you just never know what's happening until maybe the last scene. If then. I think.

Also, it's an early David Fincher movie, and it has the thumbprint of his ambiance on it.

Interstellar (Christopher Nolan)

...the rational coherence is still being debated by fans.

i haven't actually watched the movie but i thought this review (which i'm too lazy to summarize) was uncommonly rational and coherent:

The article says little about the actual movie.

 

[PmjPmj]

Dog Soldiers.

So underrated

 

[Jennywocky]

Dog Soldiers.

So underrated

Oh yeah, decent movie. It's part of Neil Marshall's dual movies exploring gendered groups in balls-to-the-walls situations. (His female counterpart pic is "The Descent.")

 

[BrainVessel]

The History of Future Folk

It was like a good college film. Kinda pathetic but the patheticness made it somehow less pathetic. It didn't keep me well entertained, however. Could have fit the whole movie in about 20 minutes and it would have been a great short film but otherwise I give it a 3/10.

 

[Pizzabeak]

Unforgiven (1992). The character WW Beauchamp is definitely some depiction of INTP. Check it out

 

[Brontosaurie]

Predestination

kinda meh. i give it a 6/10. doctor who makes me kind of spoiled with dialogue and acting in time travel stories. or maybe desensitized to the finer nuances. not sure.

 

[StevenM]

Big Hero 6
It was 2 weeks ago I seen it.
I went with my friend and her daughter.
Very interesting, they used a different rendering engine for very impressive effects, including the very complex lighting calculations run on a 55, 000 core supercomputer.

Spoiler

Ok, I'll admit, I did enjoy the movie.

 

[PmjPmj]

No way! I had no idea that was the same guy.

I haven't watched The Descent yet, and if I'm honest I don't plan to.

Scary / I'm a softarse

 

[Yellow]

Expendables 3 at a $1 cinema. It had 2 clever lines of dialog. So, overall, an improvement over the first two.

I kinda liked the first one. Could barely stomach 20 minutes of the second.

The third has Mel Gibson as the antagonist, which helped a lot. Also, Wesley Snipes was released from prison in time to film this one, and he isn't a good actor, but he isn't awful (Blade doesn't count).

I forgot he was a convict! What was it, income tax evasion or something?

He was okay in Blade, at least. Better than Keanu in Matrix.

 

[Ex-User (9086)]

I saw "Primer".
I liked the idea and how it all ended as not something they would expect. As they wanted to have it contained and they can only hope that their final set of conditions was stable enough to continue.

I feel like I missed some of the intricacies too.

I saw that and still had to look at the time sequence chart I found online -- while watching, I followed it until somewhere in the middle somewhere, then got lost.

But I think their budget was only $7K? So that's pretty incredible.

 

[Brontosaurie]

interstellar

aesthetically impressive, sublime. some awkward plot moments and dialogue but overall the dramatic component is permissible and conducive to suspension of disbelief while assuming an appropriately subdued position. this is foremost a very immersive adventure film that pays homage to the thrills of cosmological speculation and provides a truly insightful visual representation of mind-boggling physical concepts. it is not held down in the least by its narrative structure and has bold, curious, joyful and refreshingly indulgent character. that goes to say it doesn't cop out and disappoint like so many stories do. in several ways it reminds me of another movie "contact" (which i also recommend).

interstellar is brilliant for its ostensible purpose and thoroughly agreeable but i'm not sure the level of psychological complexity is sufficient to make it a top tier film imo. nolan's best? probably.

sorry for writing like a sloppy english assignment lol

I'm amazed so many people liked that movie. I was seriously let down. The ending was bullshit IMO. I get the feeling I might like it if I saw it a second time though.

And I personally like The Prestige the most of all Nolan's films.

worst parts for me: the son refusing to move and dr brand being lovey-dovey then bitter in space. these moments made little sense emotionally. in what way did the ending disappoint you?

have not seen the prestige. my comparison is only batman trilogy, inception and memento iirc. recommendable?

 

[Cherry Cola]

the prestige is the best nolan film yes, it doesn't have a glaring weak spot like the rest of his movies, its consistently solid

havent seen interstellar, looking forward to doing that

I thought it was bullshit that he survived the black hole, let alone that he was transported to a 5-dimensional pseudo-Library of Babel where he could tap fucking quantum physics equations to his daughter in Morse code. And all that shit about love transcending time and space and other dimensions was stupid too.

I also had problems with how heavy-handed the film was in the beginning with the political arguments it was making. And Dr. Brand whining about her struggles with theory vs. application was dumb. It just wasn't a very subtle film in general.

And yeah, The Prestige is fantastic. Definitely worth seeing.

 

[nanook]

nightcrawler.

absolutely amazing character study.

this is how i imagine a smart TiNeSiFe type. A mind full of subjective planing, relating itself to a world of objective possibilities, exploiting reality and the world of objective thinking (ideologies, laws, social constructs, science) without participating in their construction, deconstructing their validity (to introversion, extroversion is an illusion, to Ti Te is illusion), fearless or uninhibited due to inferior Fe but also full of winning charme, due to excellent theory of mind.


i don't think TiNe has to be that antisocial though. my other major TiNe reference is a very nice guy and an idol of mine. i totally adore the social freedom of this type. i wish my FiTe can one day birth something of similar effectiveness. he makes youtube videos and is considered to be spiritually awake by his followers, yet he deconstructs all conventional concepts of spirituality. i don't want to mention his name, because he is not a real celebrity. don't hate me if i'm wrong about their type but in my mind there is no better way to conceptualize their skills but these three functions TiNeFe.
