I'll very much agree with you on that last line. Movies aren't just that. I shouldn't have easily defined a form of art as just an "escape", so I admit I made a mistake there, and I thank you for...

That's fine, if that's what you prefer, then have at it. For me, I only wanted a more engaging character than I could lean on and like. I don't see that as a cheap dramatic device, I see it as a...

I don't deny that teens do mumble. Trust me I was like that too, but I don't see how this makes his character good. Just because a lot of teenagers are like that doesn't mean (in my view at least)...

Very interesting way of refuting my points, and inexplicably coming to the conclusion that I'm a moron who only enjoys Transformers... Good job, buddy.

Boyhood. If you're talking about the definition of stupidly overrated movies, you'd be talking about Boyhood.

The movie is empty, plain and simple. NOTHING happens in it. Sure, maybe in the first...

Re: Derek Vinyard's Top 75 Horror movies !

I don't know, The Conjuring failed to impress me. For me, it was just Insidious in an older setting, and that movie was much better IMO. James Wan is a solid horror director. I don't think he's...

Sounds like a mess to be honest. We got Batman seriously armoring up to fight Superman, so it appears that them fighting each other will take a LOT of time in the movie, Lex Luthor's in the picture,...

I've seen Death Proof. It's not that bad. It's a bit slow and methodical, but it's generally entertaining. Probably the worst Tarantino film in comparison with others, but I don't think it's bad in...

Re: A movie has universally awful reviews. You're still going to see i

Any Scorsese, Nolan or Tarantino film. Except for Nolan, I haven't seen any movie I didn't like from these directors, but I'd gladly watch one that is considered bad.

As for series, definitely...

Your multi-feature nights at the cinema.

So, recently I went on my first (and certainly not last) double-feature night in the theater with 3 of my friends. I watched Christopher Nolan's Interstellar and then David Fincher's Gone Girl....

Dat chin. He looks pretty cool. Reminds of Jim Lee's version of Batman, even though everyone compares him to the Dark Knight Returns version. I hope his voice is better than Bale's constant growling...

I'm pretty sure I saw this movie before that one came out. Shreck had just come out on DVD when I first saw it.

A horror movie with creepy little girls

OK, so there was this horror movie that my older cousin watched once when I was younger. It must've come out in the early 2000's, maybe even the late 90's.

I think the movie's premise was about a...

Glad I got to pick this beast up. Just a big fan of this band. Not really a movie, but it's a DVD so it counts.

I don't imagine many people have seen Brokeback Mountain with other people... they would just feel strange together.
I mean no offense, and it truly is a great movie, but that kind of is true.

It really depends on what movie it is you're watching. If you're watching a regular good movie, you can easily enjoy it on your own, but IMO I don't see much enjoyment to be had. I've done it once,...
