The more pertinent question would be "you actually watched Spring Breakers?"

Haha! I asked the same myself when i wrote it! I guess the noir elements. Actually it reminded me of a host of movies like inherent vice, the limey, coffy etc! (and i am sure i am missing a few more!)

I quite liked it! 😃

Qwiss

It reminded me of Spring Breakers because it was shit.

Saw 10 Cloverfield Lane and Green Room yesterday. Both were excellent.

QuincyAbeyie

10 Cloverfield Lane was great, yeah.

Looking forward to this one.

Qwiss

Watched the new Bourne last night, couple of really nice set pieces but overall a very bland, forgettable movie.

QuincyAbeyie

Watched X-Men: Apocalypse. First Class was great, Days of Future Past was decent, this was just bad. I really don't think Singer is a good director.

Lawless was worth a watch. I'll watch most things with Tom Hardy, and Guy Pearce is great as the hatable antagonist.

It's good, you should watch it just for Christian Bale. Don't know why this is in the TV thread though.

I'm not that big a Bale fan, like Steven Carrell very much though. I'm mostly interested in the plot though

QuincyAbeyie

I like Carrell as well, and Brad Pitt is underrated nowadays. Even if you don't love it, I doubt you will be thinking that it wasn't worth a couple of your hours.

jones

I'll try and watch it somewhen then, thanks.

Qwiss

I wasn't that bothered with Bale in it, seems a bit superfluous but I agree its a very good movie. Makes some very dry economics entertaining.

Mirth

😆 Still holds up.

QuincyAbeyie

Triple 9. Awful and boring. Only watched it because a friend put it on.

Green Room on for being my #1 film of the year atm, I looooved it!

Planning a double bill on Sunday, Anthropoid and either Hunt For The Wilderpeople (the trailer looked great) or Hell Or Highwater.

Hunt For The Wilderpeople is very very good in my opinion, one of the best films of the year.

Great fusion of quirky culturally specific comedy (with a dash of Edgar Wright about it), and strangely haunting, epic moments that reminded me of 80s kids films.

QuincyAbeyie

Waititi is the reason that Thor: Ragnarok, even though the Thor movies are known as the worst of the MCU, may be the most anticipated of the upcoming ones.

Burnwinter

The first Thor film is easily one of the best of the MCU, I've always maintained.

Solid light action comedy with Connecticut Yankee style time travel humour, charismatic lead performances and a fun supporting cast.

The second one's pretty patchy though, partly because the finale is such a typical MCU building-destroying CG clusterfuck. But the plot twists are still fun.

Qwiss

Yeah the first Thor is really good. Better than a lot of MCU films. Especially at the point it was released. I thought the second was terrible but I wouldn't say the Thor films are any worse than the Iron Man films.

Mirth

I thought the first Thor was poor tbh.

The first Iron Man movie was the best of the lot (particularly given the subsequent impact it's had), followed by the Winter Soldier. The rest have ranged from mildly entertaining to boring.

QuincyAbeyie

The worst thing about the Thor movies is Portman's character, and she's not in the next one.
