Hard Boiled is a staggeringly amazing piece of action film-making. The opening shootout is better than the climax of pretty much any American action film, and then the movie manages to escalate from there multiple times into the insane hospital battle. You know a movie is kicking ass when it's making greats like John McTiernan and James Cameron look weak and lazy by comparison. John Woo's mastery of continuity, editing, and choreography is second to none.
And for those people who say he "lost it", go watch Red Cliff and come back to me. He hasn't lost anything, Hollywood just had no idea what to do with him.
It's really grown on me over the past week too. This is actually a movie I wish WAYDM would do, because it almost explicitly does the opposite of everything Dorkman usually complains about in these movies. It's the anti-Prometheus.
There's several key decisions made throughout the movie where you think there will be some big melodramatic argument, and instead, the scientists calmly sit down and rationally come up with the best solution. It's also one of the most pro-science movies I've seen in ages, the message isn't "Space is terrifying", it's "Space is amazing and gaining knowledge is worth dying for".
Also, I can't overstate how great the music is. Bear McCreary is amazing
I saw Gravity today and it is all kinds of awesome. Even enjoyed the 3D, which I usually hate. ![]()
I really like Monsters Vs Aliens, it's great fun. Any animated kid's film that ends with Planet Claire by the B-52s is ok in my book.
Just watched MvA. Damn that was fun. I could definitely stand to do with a few more of these out in the world.
Dreamworks has pretty much superceded Pixar at this point.
I'm way more excited for How To Train Your Dragon 2 than I have been for any animated movie in like the last 5 years.
Oh gods dude. HTTYD2 looks to be amazing. Also Lego Movie. Way more excited for those 2 things than I have been for anything in a long time.
Got home last night and said to the wife, "You know you never saw Man of Steel, and its on VOD now. Wanna watch it?" She replied, "Nah, let's just watch 'The Godfather'."
*SWOON*
