Whiplash (Damien Chazelle, 2014) Imdb Date Watched: 12/04/15 Cinema or Home: Home Reason For Watching: It was available on Starz Play Rewatch: No I'd heard nothing but great things about this film and, in particular, about the performance of J.K. Simmons. There's no doubt that Simmons deserves this praise. His performance is phenomenal. Fletcher's intensity and volcanic temper are riveting. He's so unlikable that he's almost likable. Andrew Neiman, on the other hand, I found totally unlikable and because of this, I struggled to connect with the film. I suppose I was meant to respect his drive, but he was far too self centered and arrogant for me to care. Still, there's more than enough in what Simmons has to offer to make for a compelling and very watchable film. I just don't know if it's something I'll revisit. - |
Re: The Resident Bitch's Movie Log
Personally I liked Andrew and felt that I could relate a lot to him. After I watched it, I got the urge to put everything I have into my own passions. It was a really inspiring movie. It's pretty amazing what a person can accomplish if they really give it their all. And it's possibly my favorite J.K. Simmons performance. He is such a beast the way he pulled off all that intensity.

Obviously I liked the movie way better than Miss Vicky did but I'm giving her a thumbs up because she didn't give it a bad rating at all. |

The Warriors (Walter Hill, 1979) Imdb Date Watched: 12/10/15 Cinema or Home: Home Reason For Watching: It seems to be popular on MoFo Rewatch: No This was a good bit of stupid fun. The acting was pretty terrible and the story was near non-existent but it had a cool soundtrack and was an entertaining watch. I did find the costume design a bit distracting and laughable though. Am I really meant to buy that these effeminate looking dudes in matching outfits are tough street gangs and not just people with s***ty fashion sense? Because they look more like poorly dressed dance troupes on their way to a competition than anybody to be feared. + |
Re: The Resident Bitch's Movie Log
The Warriors, classic. :up:
I pretty much agree with you about the acting and story. It's a fairly unique movie, so I liked it for that. |
Re: The Resident Bitch's Movie Log
The Warriors is brilliant. I love that film so much. It's a huge part of my childhood.
I was looking at when you watched it and wondered how the hell you managed to watch it tomorrow, considering that you're on the wrong side of the planet for that to be the case. Then I realised that you all put the date the wrong way around. :D |
Re: The Resident Bitch's Movie Log
All things considered, I find these "you haven't updated your thread in days" posts rather amusing.
Meanwhile, as much as I love The Warriors, I am not surprised to see people think of it as just good. |
Re: The Resident Bitch's Movie Log
The Warriors is a decent flick, I suppose.

The Warriors is good for a few laughs, nothing more. Actually, the best thing about this trailer is the Tangerine Dream music from Sorcerer.
