Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Daddy's Home (2015) -



It's alright. I'm not a Ferrell fan, or a comedy buff. I'm really not any kind of authority on comedies. I avoid them like the plague and after going to see Dumb and Dumberer, I swore I would never waste money seeing one in the theatre. My "AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs" list is at 30% and will probably stay there. I laughed a few times during this movie. The trailer(s) summed up the best parts. Many other parts were just stupid. They really tried and I can see they are making a lot of $$$ with this comedy. I expect a part 2.

I remember this was a very good movie when I was a kid, but DAMN I was too young to appreciate the cast they got! Mia Farrow, Alan Arkin, Angela Landbury, Frank Welker, Jeff Bridges, and CHRISTOPHER LEE!

Now I need to revisit Flight of Dragons and my Rankin-Bass nostalgia trip will be complete.

Fear and Loathing in MoFo... The Gunslinger 45's Top 50 Favorite Films

In the 10 Ring: Gunslinger45's reviews

Have had this recorded for ages so i decided to watch it. Since it was off Film 4 it was Dubbed. In general i hate dubs and always watch it subbed if i can. This was actually not bad dubbed, but i imagine i'd like it a bit more in Japanese. The only characters voice that really annoyed me was the cats though so it wasn't that big of a problem.

Gorgeous animation as always with Ghibli and Miyazaki. Man some of those flying scenes were just glorious. I liked the music too, it was very playful and reminded me of Final Fantasy or something. Kiki the character was pretty great, she could be a bit moody and she didn't treat Tombo that well at times but she was surprisingly complex and for the most part i thought her actions were understandable. One very minor thing that annoyed me was the characters randomly bursting into laughter. It comes across so unnatural and it happens in a lot of Anime i've watched. Not a big deal it just seems to be a fairly common thing that gets on my nerve.

Overall it was a nice, pleasant, simple film. How Miyazaki managed to make what is for the most part a teenage witch flying about doing deliveries and chores into a proper film is beyond me, but it worked. This won't become a major favourite but i enjoyed it and i'm glad to have watched it.

Are you trying to complete the MoFo Animation List?
If so, have fun with PMMM.

Probably at some point but i'm not actively trying to i just had that recorded and thought i may as well. May watch the other three Miyazaki's i have left soon.

And somehow i doubt i'll hate PMMM as much as everyone else.

Well not everyone hates it. It did make the countdown after all (with five votes). The animation is good, but I hated everything else about it.

I suppose. It only got 5 votes though. Guap and that other poster who really liked Anime obviously had it as their #1 and #2. Not sure who the others would've been. You hate it, pretty sure it's one of Rauls least favourite films ever and i know there are others. The animation does look great so i'm kinda looking forward to it.

*Whips out notes* (yes, I still have them after two years) ChardeeMacDennis, Frightened Inmate #2, Guapo, Pussy Galore, Voigan.

Yeah Raul hated it. I did hate it less than that K-On! thing Guap nominated for one of the HOFs though.

Yeah, Voigan was the one i was talking about. Forgot about PG i knew he would've. Surprised that Inmate did. I liked that ChardeeMacdennis guy but he didn't post much.

And that K-On! doesn't look like something i'd like at all either. PMMM seems to have some action and stuff so i think i might like that more. We'll see when i finally get to it. I've mostly been holding off because Guap said to watch a few episodes of the show beforehand since that is the second movie. I know i wouldn't have to and if i remember you didn't and you still followed it fine, but i'd like to watch it properly to give myself a better chance of liking it.

Yeah, I had no problem following it without having seen the show. It was doomed to be hated by me long before I pressed play anyway; watching the show would not have improved its chances. Magical girls? Forget it.

forgot i had PMMM on my list. that's partially because i didn't have a lot of other animated films i like, but i also just enjoyed it a lot more than i was expecting. i kind of hated every other anime thing guap nominated for the hall of fame though.

The Mummy (1932)


Classic horror that defies its age. Slightly prefer The Invisible Man though.





That's two in two days.

Four Lions (2010) 8/10

one of the best comedy movies i've seen.

the funniest line from the movie:

Fessal: 'Can I have 12 bottles of bleach please?'
Barry: What's that?
Fessal: It's a woman's voice 'cause... They'd want lots of liquid peroxide... So they can... Dye her hair or something...
Barry: And her beard.
Fessal: What?
Barry: You've got a beard!
Fessal: I covered it!
Barry: You covered your beard? How?
[Fessal covers his beard feebly with his own hands.]
Barry: So you went into a shop... With your hands on your face, like that, and asked for 12 bottles of bleach? So why has she got her hands on her face, Fess?
Fessal: [after an uncomfortably long silence.] 'Cause she's got a beard.

A generous rating from you, I would say.

I guess I'm around the same, though most likely with a minus added. And that's probably only if I'm in a good mood.

When The Bough Breaks...GARBAGE

Saw this over the summer, GREAT movie and yes, very funny movie.




Nice Guys Had been hyped to see this since I first saw the trailer last year and it did not disappoint.




Space Pirate Captain Harlock (Japan) (2013) Computer Graphics: Storyline:
The graphics would have been a solid 5 but some of the costumes seemed to have that old problem of looking more like a body mold than actual fabric that plagued early computer graphics WAAAY back in the day.
Scarcely remember the original series from my late teens/early twenties, but from my understanding they did a lousy job staying true to the original series (but then, who does, really?). Still, I'd echo one review I read when they stated they could have took some of the cash used for graphics and upped the story a bit. It really made it hard to make it through to the end.

I think I'll go find me an old version from the eighties or nineties and watch that

Edvard Munch

Captivating.
