Just watched Homefront, was alright. It reminded me a lot of the "Into the furnace" movie with the small town feel and drugs and illegal ways and what not. It was alright I guess.

Out of the Furnace

Into the Furnace sounds better.

That doesn't make it the title.

I've been on a Sam Rockwell kick lately, rewatching both "Seven Psychopaths" (awesome flick if you like "In Bruges") and "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind".

For those of you who have girlfriends I have two recommendations:

"Moon" if you want a passionate lay.

or

"Choke" if she's likes a bit of kink.

Rush

So I finally got around to watching "Rush" and HOLY SHIT. This is probably one of the best movies I've probably ever seen. I know that sounds like bullshit but honestly I loved this movie. The cinematography was incredible, the overall look was perfect. The work that Daniel Bruhl had as Niki Lauda was one of the finest works I've seen in awhile, exceptional performance. Chris Hemsworth was great, not amazing because he fits that type of character imo but he's great at it. Bruhl overshadows him though. The music for the film was on point as well, I was immediately drawn into the movie.

10/10 (don't fucking debate me on this)

Completely fucking agree, this was definitely my favourite movie of last year and probably top 5 of all-time for me, it was amazing.

Bruhl was so great.

I'm actually really pissed this isn't in the best picture category, Bruhl isn't up for Supporting Actor, Howard for director in the Oscars. It's incredible how overlooked it is.

I would argue that it isn't overlooked. There were a lot of strong films to come out this past year

I thought you said you hadn't seen Rush yet. Tongue

I would say Bruhl was definitely overlooked, he gave the best performance of last year year imo, definitely the one that has left the the longest lasting memory in my mind and he deserved to be nominated for best supporting at the very least

Others are definitely up for debate, that one shouldn't be imo.

All I can say is Rush was by far my favourite movie of last year, enjoyed it way better then I enjoyed most of the films nominated, the only two I would put close to it are Nesbraska and Gravity (but seeing this in 3D helped this film greatly, I usually hate 3D films because usually I don't find that they add much but with Gravity it added a lot).

9/10 - Absolutely hilarious. Sure, the comedy is not exactly, how do you say, mature, but that does not take away from it in the least. Every joke is quotable and absolutely hilarious. What is truly amazing is that this film is from 1980 and yet none of the jokes felt dated. Sure, a lot of them contained references to think from the 70's and 80's, yet they were still completely funny. One of the most satisfying comedies I have ever watched.

8/10 - Honestly, this one took a little bit for me to get into. It was never outright like, "Wow this is horrible," but it just did not manage to grip me. However, it eventually finally sank its teeth into me. First off, I loved the score. The score was so perfect for this film and really helped bring the film to life. In addition, the fight sequences were brilliantly choreographed and I also appreciate that while of course there has to be a lot of blood, it was never gratuitous. As for the acting, Russell Crowe did a really great job as Maximus, but for me, Joaquin Phoenix outshined him. Phoenix brought the consciously evil Commodus to life. I also loved seeing Tommy Flanagan in a small role here, as I love his current work in the TV series "Sons of Anarchy". Another plus for this film was certainly the screenplay. Tons of quotable lines and great speeches really helped to amplify this film.

My complaints would likely center around the forced and unnecessary romance. It did not help move the film forward in the least. In terms of providing character history, it works, but as the action unfolds, it no longer really serves a purpose and felt like excess. In addition, the aforementioned slow beginning sequence was not overly to my liking, though I certainly understand why it is there and cannot complain over its conclusion. It simply did not provide the necessary spark to grab the viewers attention in my mind, but regardless, its importance is clear. Other than that, while typically top-notch, the CGI at times was noticeable with some unrealistic deaths along the way, but that is to be expected, as no film is perfect.

Overall, Gladiator is a very good film that proves that these types of films can be done successfully if enough work is put into them. Very deserving of the praise it has received without a doubt.

7/10 - Pretty good film right here. I loved Clint Eastwood's performance and he really killed it here for sure. In addition, the cinematography was top-notch and the setting/decor was also really well done and really fit the "Western" theme extremely well. Another positive here was definitely the action sequences as well as the build-up of the conflict. Both really hooked you in and left you wanting more, while providing thrill after thrill.

Despite those positives, there are some definite negatives. One of the biggest ones would be the shootouts actually, as when somebody gets shot, it looks extremely fake. Now, watching this in 2014 and comparing it to films of today is unfair, but regardless, even with the 1960's technology available to them, I really wish that it at least looked somewhat realistic and not just completely acted. Another would be the dubbing. For when this film came out, it is impressive, but at times, it was painfully noticeable and really hampered my enjoyment of the film.

However, aside from these two things, I really enjoyed this one. It is a great way to kick off the "Man With No Name" trilogy and serves as a strong introduction to Clint Eastwood's character and, really, Sergio Leone's style.

9/10 - Absolutely hilarious, just like Airplane. The Naked Gun is a joke a minute satire that may be based around dirty jokes and gags, but it is entirely fantastic. It is a tad over the top, but that is the point. Much like Airplane, the pace is very very fast, especially when it comes to jokes, which leaves you laughing continously and having to pause the movie to stop laughing and catch your breath briefly. The great part about a comedy like this is that the plot is irrelevant. They try to establish one, of course, but really, it does not matter. The jokes cover up any type of plot and any cliches are entirely intentional. This and Airplane are clear pinnacles of comedy.

7/10 - Alfred Hitchcock's films are always fantastic and his mastery of suspense is on full display in this flm, though not really in the beginning. The build up suspense until it spills over is phenomenal and really helped this one out a ton, as the ending of this film was fantastic. In addition, the mystery aspect as everyone tries to figure out what did in fact happen was very interesting to follow as you try to put the pieces together in your head and, ultimately, come to the same conclusion as the characters. However, as the film kicks off, until the mystery element comes in, it was quite...boring. Barely anything happened and while it was of course pointing out key elements and getting you accustomed to the unique way in which this film is presented, the pace and the lack of anything really happening begins to tire you out until the film truly kicks in. For that reason, I cannot give this one a higher rating, but I really did enjoy it. Would certainly recommend.
