A good film that would have been a lot better if it didn't feel so Hollywood and "Americanized" for western audiences.

Cute low budget short film "Camp Belvidere"

So, first, if you've seen the ads, you should be warned that this is NOT an action movie. It is a moral (suspense?) drama about a self-destructive personality, who I never really felt any sympathy for. It is definitely not as good as Flight, which did something similar with its advertising campaign versus its actual story. There were quite a few dramatic monologues about life, decisions, and misbehavior which were thought provoking, but I was mostly just rolling my eyes at the main character's utterly stupid behavior.

I'd give it a B- because it is well produced, and I'd probably watch it again just for the supporting cast.

Was hoping for a fun stop-motion, swashbuckling throwback to the originals, even if it had a low budget. Much disappoint.

A lot.

I saw Both X-Men: Days of Future Past & Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I wasn't really blown away be either, but they were entertaining enough. X-men felt like a throwback to previous time travel bits in X-Men with a pinch of Inception in it. The twist near the middle was clever enough, but the prospect of the past affecting the future in the same timeline seems like fuzzy logic. Captain America had some great moments, like when he goes stealth on the tanker, or the antagonist with a metal arm, or all the crazy sci-fi stuff that confused the audience.

Wait a minute. o.O

I saw The Secret of Arriety, a Studio Ghibli film. If you know Ghibli, you probably can guess how it turned out.

I saw A Brony Tale:

Spoiler

It’s a massive improvement compared to Bronies, which is more akin to a glorified news piece than an actual film. ABT focuses on the personal journeys of Voice Actor Ashleigh Ball and specific faces from the MLP Community. One of the key differences between the other documentaries on the subject is a greater focus on the personal, with the majority of the film tapping on the histories and tragedies of artists and fans. Military Veterans, Singers, you name it. And naturally, bigger names like SaberSpark & DustyKatt make a debut as well. Stories from Bryan Mischke and MandoPony will definitely get people invested.

My kudos to the director. The Cinematography and Editing is light years better than the competing documentary. As much as I’ve lauded The Brony Chronicles, the Audio/Video quality isn’t really on the same bar as ABT. The “main plot” of ABT with Ashleigh Ball isn’t a huge focus, but does pop up often enough and helps keep the pacing on track. The original Bronies documentary felt very disjointed, and thankfully it isn't the same case here.

A Brony Tale reminds me that what makes MLP innovative has far less to do with narrative and more to do with culture, community, and the artistic potential created from what started as a girls show about talking horses. While that’s always been an underlying theme of the documentaries, ABT performs this with flying colors. My only complaint is it doesn't cover some of the harder questions about the fandom, which Brony Chronicles(especially Part 2) manages.

It was money and time well spent, and I’m happy with how it turned out.

I saw Battle For Terra, which was a very pleasant surprise. A Western CG movie that isn't filled with hamfisted comedy bits, and involves morally ambiguous theming? ORLY

While it's technically not a movie, I saw S2 of House of Cards. The Quality is still up there with Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and the better adult TV series available.

No. I actually thought about this, wanted it to happen:

No.

 

It should've been Jensen Ackles.

I've not seen the X-Men:DoFP. But CA:TWS was inferior to the first movie. But the three things that attracted people to the sequel were: S.L.Jackson, Modern Setting, Crazy sci-fi stuff. And maybe S.J.

[Dominus]

Never seen the first, but the only thing that impressed me in it was the action itself. The Cap crashes through windows more than Jason Bourne. The actiony bits with Project I at the end were pretty nuts.

I thought it was an excellent dark comedy, easily the funniest film Scorsese has made. Some have accused it of fetishizing Belfort's debauched lifestyle, but I think the film is doing something much more uncomfortable, which is implicating us, the audience, in Belfort's amoral exploits (this is particularly obvious in the film's ending). I'm not being original in citing this quote in connection with the film, but The Wolf of Wall Street really does call this Steinbeck quote to mind: "Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

[Vroom Vroom]

Despite having both Gary Oldman and Harrison Ford, I wouldn't recommend it. I was extremely disappointed by it, the pacing seemed to be really off and the ending just seemed too unbelievable to me, also none of the characters struck me as likable.
