I saw Interstellar today myself actually.

 

It was okay. It seems like it's trying to place itself as the next 2001, but I don't think it's there yet.

Though the OST is the best Hans Zimmer work I have heard. It's gorgeous.

Finnaly watched this................. It was "ok"

Halfway through Guardians for the first time, really enjoying it so far, best Marvel movie I've seen since Iron Man 1.

Just got back from the IMAX theater. WOW! I was stunned! 9/10 

 

Kubrick would've wept. Everyone keeps comparing this flick to 2001: a Space Odyssey, and with good reason. They both approach a perfect Sci-Fi film experience. Both are masterworks of veteran directors. Both films use cutting edge visual effects and science as a narrative tool. Both directors/editors reveled in sharp cuts and scenes of total silence to illustrate the extreme and brutal nature of space travel.

 

This is where however, in my opinion, the similarities end. Kubrick relied (in 2001) too heavily on pacing and stark composition. While the classical pieces by Strauss and the song "Daisy Bell" were wielded almost ruthlessly, to blast the audience into submission or a sense of dread, Zimmer's score was almost imperceptible in Interstellar, playing up emotion or an overwhelming sense of isolation. This leads me to the most striking difference between the films' protagonists. In 2001, Dave is likable enough, we identify with him. He is certainly a vessel for the audience's experience toward and into the third act of the movie, but we never really see enough about him to invest much into his story.  Cooper in Interstellar, on the other hand, is sympathetic from the opening scene. He is (especially to parents) a flawed, scarred father struggling to keep his children happy and relatively healthy. He is a widower and a farmer by circumstance, not necessarily by choice. He is portrayed beautifully by Matt McConaghey.  (I was not a huge fan of his before this film)

 

However unlikely the third act is, however mind-bending his situation becomes, I found myself routing for him to find a way back to his family, to Murph.

The rest of the cast is very good too, especially Caine and Chastain. The character Dr. Mann (Matt Damon) was particularly impressive, as he represented the "Murphy's Law" element, that is; when things go smooth for a while, it is simple nature/mathematics that states something will go awry. 

In my opinion, this film is possibly Nolan's best work. He has done for Sci-Fi what Tolkien did for Fantasy and what Shakespear did for tragedy; he made it accessible and real. He made it tangible and believable, while still keeping me guessing. He made the future seem possible. He made a black hole feel like a threat and a doorway simultaneously. He also made love for a child seem like the only true chord our destructive species had ever struck.

I watched the Giver just now. I was a bit disappointed with the liberties that the film makers made with the film, but it was still decent overall. Something to watch if nothing else is on. The other movie I watched, Wish I was here, was better. I'd choose that over the Giver.

Oh, I forgot to mention; it is AWESOME how there is a little nod to Luke Skywalker/R2-D2 at the end of Interstellar!

Great acting by Mel Gibson, Silvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Harrison Ford and Arnold Schwarzenegger (from the best to less great order). Newcomers were meh though. Very Good action and war scenes, and special effects, the villain's redshirts weren't anything special, but Mel Gibson did a great job as the main villain. Plot and Story was not masterpiece but "good" in my standards.

7.75/10

 

 

I liked Expendables 2 the most in this trilogy.

[ObserverStatus]

Kind of a stupid movie tbh

Caught this the other night on PBS. Classic:

Homesman


I saw it because it looked like an interesting movie about the West. The premise is that three wives have gone crazy while living with their families in failing homesteads, and have to be transported across the plains and prairie on a month long journey to a Minister in Omaha to be treated, housed, returned to their original families, or something like that. It is a pretty harsh story, and every time it gets so harsh as to become somewhat hilarious, it gets even darker and harsher. Usually Westerns are about people who survive and endure, this one is about people breaking.

Hard to say if I liked it, but it was interesting.

Totally forgot that one was around.

 

In my defense, anything poster/wallpaper related looks so much like a fan collage it's hard to remember that is indeed a real movie.

7/10 - Worth a watch.
