I just saw Kingsman, really enjoyed it. The kind of fun movie that doesn't take itself too seriously that most will bemoan for not insisting on forcing a gag every two minutes.
It's funny that when you put it in the context of the movie landscape, it's light-years better than anything else out there. When was the last blockbuster where people bleed gratuitously when they get hit, tight story pacing, good writing, economy of storytelling (they can't afford to use sweeping CG shots for no reason, so they make each of them count).
Wouldn't shock me if this is HBO testing the waters for eventually doing the series finale as a big summer movie release a week ahead of the TV broadcast.
Holy crap that sounds amazing. Unfortunately the nearest Imax is 2 hours and 200km's of death defying black ice highways away.
Saw Kingsman, and pretty much what Avatar said above, ditto. Doesn't come together as beautifully as KickAss - some setups seemed to be missing payoffs and vice versa - but overall I had a good time with it. It's got some third-act choices that genuinely surprised me.
And Sam Jackson as a lisping supervillain was certainly a refreshing change of pace.
Yes, skip Zathura. Kristen Stewart gets frozen in that film (insert your own joke here).
Awwwe yeah baby, dat fresh Browncoat smell.
Ah, so they kept the house from the original movie? Good. I re-watched the live Rifftrax of the Vincent Price version last week with my sister (she missed the original show when it was in theaters). I assume the acid pool was part of FLW's original design.
Alright, my google-fu has entirely failed me. What the hell is an acid pool?
I'm assuming it's not some sort of James Bond-esque villain trap.
Star Trek Into Darkness.
Yep, I revisited it. I'm mildly adjusting my opinion, just due to the pacing of the film. The film can't be bothered to slow down enough for the emotional moments. I still find the characters very interesting, though, and quite enjoyable overall.
6/10
I finally saw The Grand Budapest Hotel. I generally enjoy Wes Anderson's movies (even though I can't explain why), and can understand why they wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea. But I can immediately see why this one was so well-received by most people. I thought it was absolutely lovely ![]()
(And I immediately bought the soundtrack. Haven't done that in yeeeears.)
