Machine Gun Preacher with Gerard Butler. 5/10. His character is admirable but the movie wasn't that good.
I watched the first two hunger games with my daughter's yesterday and took them to the third one today.
Awesome. 10/10
Seriously, I loved it.
It just crash landed in my top ten all time list.
Great story, sound track, great casting, good acting, good humour. It is clearly a teen movie but I totally loved it.
We went and saw Interstellar yesterday. I hate giving ratings, but I really enjoyed it. A few people here didn't like the ending - I thought it was a stretch, but didn't affect my enjoyment. My wife teared up several times!
Son and I saw Big Hero 6 last weekend. Excellent as well.
Mocking Jay Part 1- 6/10
This is the reason they should not get greedy and split movies. It was boring. I know that they are just setting up the finale, but it seemed like almost nothing happened. Loved the first two, and I will surely love the next one, but I wish I had saved my money and rented this one before watching part 2 next November.
The Chef- 8/10
Enjoyable movie.
Sin City 2- Not nearly as good as the first, but I still liked it.
RIP BroncosFreak and OrangeMane
Dumb and Dumber To - hard to rate this one. It was an awful movie that made me laugh but I won't recommend it to anyone. I liked it more than I should have and I loved how self deprecating it was. The first is a comedy classic, this was just a nostalgic distraction. The whole thing felt like a time capsule of 90's comedies in all the best and worst ways.
Thats the thing though, you can tell the guys were having a great time making it and I did like the movie, but I'm just afraid that my judgment on this one is clouded by nostalgia so its hard to give it a rating or recommendation. I think if you go into knowing that this is pretty much the same film as the first with a different setting you can enjoy it for what it is, but like most comedies you have to be on a certain wavelength while watching to get the most out of it.
What?! Movies NEVER borrow from one another. My favorite movie is about a young man (Luke, Harry Potter, or Neo... I can't remember his name) who is thrust into a new world where he finds an inner strength and power after being guided by a wise old man (I think his name was Obi-Morpheus Gandalf). After losing his wise old mentor, he must find the strength to carry on and destroy the Death Star Ring in the fires of Mount Voldermort.
All fantasy/action/adventure type movies are cut from the same basic mythological cloth. Hunger Games may have ripped off Battle Royale a bit but they are just taking common themes and adding new elements. Battle Royale even borrows from older movies like The Most Dangerous Game. As long as the movies explore these themes in new and interesting ways I say keep em coming. Still haven't seen Hunger Games, but Battle Royale was great.
Thats the problem for me though, the HG's flicks are very boring and uninteresting. While movies tend to borrow at times some are just flat out way better. But i admit, i have gotten pretty tired of all the remakes in the past few years as they are complete shit to me.
The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
Gah! I can't answer that either! I loved A Million Ways to Die in the West but most people I know hated it. Dumb and Dumber To is a different movie altogether. Dumb and Dumber To basically copied the formula of the first film in a new setting so it was funny in a familiar way and it was just nice to see Jim Carrey act in a comedy like that again.
A Million Ways to Die in the West on the other hand was a lot more edgier than people give it credit for and definitely only for people with a certain sense of humor, which I guess is just us.
