Oh, the discontent ain't quiet mateAll I can hear is the quiet discontent from fans of the DCEU as their movies continue to suffer with problematic stars.
Man, Luc Besson post 2000 has been super disappointing (only emission from a mediocre post 2000 list is Angel-A).Watched a bunch of movies since my last post. I will list them from my least favourite to most,
extremely generic take on a concept already done by Limitless. While I liked the first 20 minutes of the movie, the rest was just generic and boring. I was barely keeping myself from falling asleep the last 5-10 mins.
Now this is a weird one. Not sure how I feel about it, because this movie is not made for me... and the people it is made for absolutely love this movie. Not a movie for me, but at least it kept my attention unlike Lucy.
Another weird movie, not sure weather to recommend or not. Extremely racist towards the Turkish people, to the point the actual Billy Hayes apologized to the Turkish people for their portrayal. Based on a true story, but the movie takes extreme liberties with the true portion of it. Still a decent movie. The music was excellent, glad to see it won the oscar for the best score. I will include a link to the main theme song of the movie with the trailer. If the music sounds familiar, currently the ROH Tag Team champions FTR use a version of that song as their entrance theme, I'll include a link to that as well.
Surprisingly fun watch. Enjoyed it.
A classic that I first watched in University in my film class, watched it again still an amazing movie. If you haven't seen it. Highly recommended
I am not a horror movie fan. In fact it is the genre of movies I enjoy the least, not because they're bad movies. I have yet to find a horror movie that truly scares me. This is not a movie that scared me, in fact I would barely call this a horror movie. It was just a very good movie. That is all I will say, highly recommended.
Its alright. Dialogue is pretty corny in some places.
It's not Contact
Nolan's films are soulless entertainment. He feels like one of the magicians from The Prestige. I personally love Contact. One cause it's Carl Sagan, two cause it's Jodie Foster and three cause it's super interesting. There's some schmaltz and *****ry towards the end, but it's just a good movie.
My only issue of Contact was how Jake Busey's character got a bomb into a trillion dollar build site so easily.Nolan's films are soulless entertainment.

I've been thinking a lot about Insomnia lately, a film no one remembers.
Stalker is great. I love the book, Roadside Picnic, which it is based upon. Both different but super interesting.
Will definitely check that one out. Thanks for the suggestion.
