A Bug's Life - not a lot to say; it's Pixar, it's quality, and it's better than Antz.

Headhunters, Norwegian thriller and I would highly recommend it.

Tower Heist

I'd give it 5/10. The characters are unlikeable, but i actually like the story of the movie. Although i think a movie like this should've been a bit more serious.

Whiplash (2014)

8.5/10: Exhilarating, intense, raw, but major story elements are not tied into the ending and it feels unfinished. The final scene is spectacular, though, which earns it the extra 1.5.

Finally got around to watching Fury which i just finished. Fucking great movie, one of the best war movies ive seen in a while.

Just watched The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the reclusive, tragic genius Alan Turing. In my opinion, a very worthwhile movie that successfully humanizes Turing and brings him, his triumphs, and his tragedies deep into our hearts, and makes us regret how his life had played out - and ended too early - even more.

I always think of Turing as one of the most tragic figures of the 20th century. A genius who worked for a top-secret project that ultimately proved extremely valuable to the British war effort, a homosexual at a time when homosexual acts could get him - and other British citizens - thrown into prison, he lived under circumstances which practically did not allow him to exist (at least not without running into trouble with British law and society) and publicize his accomplishments. Instead of being hailed as a war hero, someone who had done much for Britain despite not serving on the battlefield, he spent the last years of his life persecuted by the law. All the fame and acclaim would only come long after he was gone.

Watched American Sniper recently. Wasn't awful actually it was fairly entertaining but I do have a good few gripes about it. Firstly the subpar writing which basically made Chris Kyle an infallible angle of Justice rather then a believable yet highly skilled human being. I to was to black and white and failed in regards to a lot of the themes it tried to cover. Basically Kyle was made out to be an infallible lawfully good character which hole not bad on its own really bogged down the film in regards to trying to connect with Chris Kyles character when the action sequences weren't there. The failed to really go deep into the subjects of war trauma and PTSD really only scheming the very top of this subject and really it devolved into a movie where we just got a look at Chris Kyles tours of duty with some nice action scenes thrown in. I guess what I'm trying to say is the Movie was to Black and White and that lead to Chris Kyles character being heard to relate to as he was always the good guy doing everything the way a good guy should rather then being just a Human being thats doing what he's doing out of ether survival or duty with times of amorality for the eventual greater good.

Aside from poor writing however the movie was great in my respects. The Cinematography was well handled and well executed, Bradly Cooper did an amazing job as Chris Kyle really rebounding the character given the subpar writing for the character. And the action scenes were very well executed and the Cunematography was a big aid in that regard.

If your big into war movies it's definetly worth the watch although it is given undeserved praise thanks to its subject matter. I'd give it a 7-7.5/10 for my personal enjoyment of the movie.

When Trumpets Fade, a low-budget WWII film about the Battle of Hurtgen Forest. It gets compared to Saving Private Ryan a lot (it came out the same year), but to me, it owes more to Sam Peckinpah's "Cross of Iron"---the mud, the broken battered bodies, guys getting tossed twenty feet in the air by huge explosions, the green fatigues of the soldiers contrasting the green washed out forests, etc....oh, and the cynical approach to the story. The film's main character is one of the more interesting anti-heroes to grace a war film; a cynical bastard who fights to save his own ass, not for ideals, who isn't above sacrificing the lives of others or making cold, logical (but completely immoral) decisions to achieve his goals. Two gripes: the low budget makes it so the scope of the battle is never really shown, plus the ending is sort of a let down. Otherwise, I heartily recommend it to anyone who's looking for something a little different from the war genre.

Labyrinth, with David Bowie and Jennifer Connolly. Still enjoyable.

That Tiger fight, easily the best tank battle ive seen in a movie, the other fight scenes were great as well, though the end battle kind of seeped back into classic Hollywood territory a bit

Does it surpass Battle of the Bulge with Nazi colonel Quinn?

Transformers: Age of Extinction

After watching it again, i decided that the first one is the best of them all. This one is a close second. It's not as bad as people say it is, but "good" is a strong word for it.

Good Morning Vietnam

An excellent film.

I'm pretty sure my brother and I were laughing at that movie for all the wrong reasons while we both watched it.

Kagemusha

Japanese film set in the Sengoku period. The brother of a clan daimyo comes across a thief about to be executed who bears an uncanny resemblance to the daimyo. The brother spares the thief's life in order to use him as the daimyo's double (kagemusha).
At first I wasn't really sure how the story would turn into something interesting, but it kept my attention throughout and overall was just very well done. Was thinking of giving it an 8 until the epic, powerful, and tragic ending; that alone made it deserve a 9.

Kurosawa's late-period masterpiece. I'm interested in watching it, but I don't think I have time for that.

It's only about 2 hours (well, I guess that is kind of long). You could watch half one day and the other half another.

I'd definitely try to watch it, it's a great movie. It definitely doesn't feel like a 2 hour movie.

What is the last movie you've seen?
