Today i saw Snowpiercer and i would rate 8/10 just for the train (cause if it was a post apocaliptic story in a town it would of been too common so i give them that ) and John Wick which i rate 7/10 for the scenario but 10/10 for the action ! better than most of todays movies.
Taken 3 5/10 and that is being overly generous for the action scenes
completely forgettable action movie which has no real connection to the Taken series of movies aside from the characters.
No one was taken, although someone was murdered. could easily have been a mediocre action movie with different main "Good Guy" characters and given a different name.
Time to put this franchise to bed tbh.
A Clockwork Orange (1971) - 8/10
Pretty stylistic and very interesting movie, but once again it suffers because of its age. Skipping the technical aspects, I also believe the movie's themes would have been explored more thoroughly and more interestingly had it been made today. As it is, I was a bit disappointed in the somewhat limited scope of it. Still, great movie.
Not understanding it doesn't mean there is a lack of explanations. Everything ties together perfectly in that movie.

The Interview - 6/10
I give it the score basically everyone was giving it. As much as I love Rogen and Franco, very meh movie. I did like the guy that played Kim though. I thought he was great, haha.
Hey I just watched that too! It has some good things about it. It had individual moments that were well done, and the actors did a great job. The story though was just a bit too out there. If you take the whole thing as a big metaphor, it is easier take, but it still comes off as "yeah but so what?". There's no great insight or revalation to this metaphor. I concur with 6/10.

Frank (2014) - 8/10
Reeeeally fucking good movie. I wish I payed more attention to it tho. I didn't expect much from it so I feel that I let somet stuff pass unnoticed.
Anyway, amazing movie, Frank's actor (not spoiling who it is haha) does an AMAAAZING job with and without the mask and succeeds all my expectations.
Will TRY to watch The Wolf of Wall Street. Scorses always fucks me up with his ENOURMOUS movies... Ain't nobody got time fo' dat!

Super (2010): 8.5/10.
I was expecting a quirky superhero movie, and more or less, that's what I got. I'd describe this movie as Kick-Ass meets Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job; it's bizarre and silly, and then it gets really violent and dark (and then silly, and then dark. And then...). Really enjoyed the movie, I only have two complaints: the rape scene, where Rainn Wilson's character gets raped by Ellen Paige's character, and that the opening felt like it was really trying too hard to elicit emotions. But it was really amusing to see The Crimson Bolt decimate people's faces with a wrench for petty 'crimes' (ranging from legit crimes, to cutting in line). Found it on Netflix, and was pleasantly surprised.
Shut up, crime!
I didn't see what happened to Ellen Paige coming...
Also the only problem I had was it would have been awesome if it would have just ended when the fight with kevin bacon on that line 'do you really think stabbing me to death will change anything?' and he replies 'I don't know until I try'. It would have been awesome if it ended there with the woman screaming. Proper good movie
Watched Interstellar. 8/10. Sci-fi without the science. Entertaining.
I saw her death coming, but I didn't see that rape coming...
I dunno, I agree it would have been a bad-ass way to finish it, but I rather liked the sappy ending...normally they don't do much for me, but it pulled it off, in my opinionhave been awesome if it would have just ended when -snip-
Definitely. Happy I gave it a chance.Proper good movie
The theory of everything 8/10
really good film, very sad in parts, but also really interesting. the actor who played Stephen was amazing, he played it fantastically.
Watched two movies today.
Grave of the Fireflies 10/10
Extremely heavy movie to watch, at least for me. Still feeling pretty damn sad. Everyone should watch this. What the hell.
Interstellar 9/10
Easily the best movie of 2014 (closely followed by Nightcrawler)
Django Unchained
10/10 easily. Great action move with a real story. Has awesome characters and good acting. Has subtle humor elements taken from old westerns.
