Pacific Rim - incredible silliness but a lot of fun...

 

The Lone Ranger - more silliness but not as much fun...still better than I was expecting considering the bad reviews...

Agree. I will watch again(eventually)

Elysium

My friend worked on that film. He couldn't talk about, but another friend guessed on his first try. His face was hilarious; both "how the hell did you know?!" and "I'm not saying anything" at the same time. Had to wait a year and a half to finally confirm. Great film.

A great drama of a bitter portrait of a deceitful relationship and painful truth. All 4 are amazing actors and each has a strong character attached, and even if this drama did nothing to you, at least seeing Natalie Portman in a sexy stripper thong might mean something :D

I'm having computer issues at home so I haven't been able to post my last couple of viewings.. here's some real quick capsule updates....

 

Inside Deep Throat (2005): Intriguing documentary about the infamous 1972 adult film that ever so briefly made porn "chic," made Linda Lovelace a household name, and became a lightning rod for discussions about censorship, obscenity and free speech.

Batman (1989): Tim Burton's Goth-pop rendition of the Dark Knight still holds up pretty well. Jack Nicholson totally steals the movie with his over-the-top portrayal of the Joker.

Unauthorized and Proud Of It: The Story of Rock N Roll Comics (2010)... Interesting documentary about upstart comics publisher Todd Loren, who became a symbol of the battle for Free Speech after his Revolutionary Comics line battled numerous copyright infringement lawsuits from rock stars...before he was mysteriously murdered in 1992 (a crime which remains unsolved). Interviewees include rockers like Alice Cooper and Mojo Nixon as well as a host of comics professionals.

Lovelace (2013): Amanda Seyfried portrays "Deep Throat" star Linda Lovelace in this bio-pic which can't decide if it wants to be a candy-coated 70s period piece about a plucky all-American gal's brief foray into porn stardom, or a gritty, tragic drama about domestic violence and spousal abuse. Great performances all around but the film never finds the right "tone."

"Machete Maidens Unleashed" -- hilarious documentary about the rise of the Filipino exploitation movie industry of the 70s, when U.S. filmmakers like Roger Corman and other schlock-meisters discovered that the islands' natural beauty (and low costs) made it the perfect place to crank out dozens of sleazy, t&a filled horror, action, kung fu and women-in-prison flicks. Tons of clips of boobs, decapitations, and stuff blowing up accompanies interviews with B movie royalty like John Landis, Dick Miller, Sid Haig and Corman himself. After watching this doc I added about a dozen titles I'd never heard of before to my "I gotta see that!" list.

Interesting...I just watched it again for the first time in about 15 years and I thought the exact opposite...I don't think it has held up very well...I'll take Batman Returns any day over Batman...

To be honest I've seen both of Burton's "Batman" flicks so many times now that I'm kinda burnt out on them, but I happened to be watching this one with my sons, who were seeing it for the first time ever (my 11 year old got the DVD for Christmas) and they both LOVED it. They were laughing at all of the Joker's stupid stunts, cheering whenever Batman punched out a goon, going "WHOAAA!" when he crashed thru a skylight or swooped off a rooftop, etc... so I enjoyed watching it through 'their' eyes way more than I probably would've if I were watching it yet again by myself.

I think that Keaton's acting was the worse part which is strange as I don.t remember it being that bad...he seemed very out of place...Nicholson was still very good...

    • Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think. 
    • H.E.A.T - 1000 Miles Vega - Hands In The Air The Defiants - Stay Issa - River of Love I'm at work right now so that's all I know off the top of my head but I'll look through my library for more when I get a chance.
    • Maybe anything by the Darkness
    • Wig wam - hard to be a rock n roller
    • Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary. First single and video:  
    • I want to compile quite an extensive playlist of hard rock songs that has a key change in the end. Why? Cause I think it sounds awesome Some well known exambles are: Bon Jovi - Living On a Prayer Wig Wam - In My Dreams Danger Danger - Don't Blame it on Love H.E.A.T - Beg Beg Beg
    • My Japan copy showed up today. I was critical of the Part I album as that one just did very little for me.  Basically, I just didn't think the songs were all that catchy and/or memorable.  I played that album a handful of times trying to get into it and gave up rather quickly which was disappointing as I loved Wired.  Maybe I just had too high of expectations or something.  I know many liked that album but for me at least, that Megalomanium I album would be ranked toward the bottom of their discography. Well, after hearing this new one, I'm feeling the opposite....Here I feel like they nailed it and I'm digging this one after the first listen.  I basically couldn't wait to start it over and listen again. The first 5 songs just come out guns a blazing with catchy, hook filled songs.  Yeah, we've heard 4 of those songs as singles but I almost purposely haven't listened to those songs much so they'd still sound fresh when the album dropped.  Then the one song we hadn't heard, All I Want, is just another upbeat, catchy tune. The 2nd half though is where things probably get more interesting.  Songs like Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye are the kinds of varied balladish/mid-tempo type songs I've been wanting Eclipse to mix things up with and there's 2 of those songs here, both very well done IMO.  Then there's a couple heavier tunes like Divide & Conquer and One In A Million that sound like stuff that could've been on Bleed & Scream.  And then a couple other melodic rockers with Until the War is Over and Pieces. I also feel like this has some of the better lyrics that Eclipse has had in awhile.  I think a lot of their material recently has been just been sort of lighter subject matter, 3 minute "simplistic" romps.  I felt Part I had a lot of that which kind of contributed to it being less interesting.  Here though, it seems like some of these songs get a bit deeper and can feel more emotion in songs like Still My Hero, Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye for example.   Anyways, where Part I is among my least favorite Eclipse albums, I'd say my early impression of Part II is that it'll be among my favorite Eclipse albums. 
    • New song 'Unbreakable'.    
    • Solid hard rock album. Nothing really stood out to me, but it’s solid.
