Last movie you watched......

So much potential in the reboot of the Spidey series and it's just not there for me. I like the idea, direction, characters, but something just seems off. This Peter Parker hasn't learned anything. I feel there's no remorse for him like there was in the original. Hopefully the third is better.

 

Saw an advanced screening of Annabelle last night.
Annabelle has a couple of creepy, scary moments but it's really a boring 1:45 that feels like 2:30. Annabelle might make you jump twice, but you see one scene in the trailer. It's just not that scary.

I felt the same way about 'The Conjuring.'

I admit I loved 'Dark Skies,' though. I've got a thing about alien abduction.

I also liked the 'Paranormal Activity' movies. Some great gags in there.

 

Anyone find anything positive to say about the new Nic Cage movie "Left Behind", I have yet to see one good thing written.

 

"The Wolf of Wall St." - This is a really good movie for about 1:45. But, my god, it's fucking long. The phrase "crippled by overlength" has never been more apt.

I thought Jonah Hill was really good. Not a too role, sure, but it was the first movie where I wasn't thinking "Hey, that's Jonah Hill."

The movie certainly glorified the Wolf, but I thought the first half or so seemed to at least dance on the line of "wouldn't this be a fun life" and "isn't this guy an asshole." Then the last hour tried to make me feel sorry for him.

Still, this was far more fun and a far better movie than "American Hustle."

 

Gone girl is utterly fantastic. I have the book but hadn't read it and, for that, I am grateful.

Movie is two and a half hours but flies by. Just really well done. Great score. Sharp writing. Great acting. Tyler Perry is a revelation.

 

I agree in pretty much every sense. It was very well done. You know a movie scores when my wife and I talk about it all the way home and then some. I now, obviously, want to read the book.

 

Wife and I both read the book after Entertainment Weekly did a big spread on the movie a couple of months ago. Saw the movie last night.

Movie is very faithful to the book, almost in a "No Country For Old Men" way. Really enjoyed it.

 

The screen play is by the author. Got to think she was going to do a pretty good job with it! Or at least keep it within her vision.

 

Bought our tickets for the VIP cinema Tuesday night. Have been waiting for "Gone Girl" for months!!!

 

Hoping to catch a matinee of Gone Girl with the wife next weekend. Really looking forward to it. I thought it was interesting that Affleck delayed a directing project that he was already in pre-production because he couldn't miss out on being in this movie and working with Fincher.
