Just came back from watching the latest Hunger Games. Kinda meh... doesn't really seem to go anywhere. Comparing it to the previous movies is kinda like comparing the Matrix sequels to the original Matrix, too much fall-to-your-knees dramaaaaaa and talking about freedom & underground rebellions and shit than the fun actiony stuff that made the previous movies kinda fun. Kinda. Not a massive fan of the series in general but not enough "Games" in this one for my personal entertainment.

To be honest, all 2-parters have this issue.

trying to milk a shitload of cash out of the last part of the story by splitting it in two.

The first part is always tedious and basically slow moving, the second part is the better half, but it is entirely conceivable that the two movies could be made into just one and still serve the story well.

Finally got around to seeing Rush, with Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl. Is a dramatisation of the F1 rivalry between James hunt and Nikki Lauda in the mid-1970s culminating in their fight for the 1976 F1 Driver's Championship. Was directed by Ron Howard.

I gave it an 8/10 as plenty goes on to keep you interested all the way through it. Whilst it was a dramatization, many of the events depicted in the movie actually happened. You get good racing scenes and strong performances from Hemsworth as James Hunt and Bruhl as Nikki Lauda. It is topped off by a great score by Hans Zimmer.

Well worth watching if you haven't seen it. Even Nikki Lauda himself was impressed by the movie as he said "When I saw it the first time I was impressed. There was no Hollywood changes or things changed a little bit Hollywood-like. It is very accurate. And this really surprised me very positively."

Interstellar - Great movie, really makes you think and further cements Nolan as the best director today IMO

I can understand why some people might not like it when some things got a little ridiculous (bookcase scene) but it is science fiction.
Hans Zimmer score worked perfectly, however in some instances it was so loud that I could barely hear the dialogue.

Rush is brilliant.

The only contentious part of the story (because Hunt never commented on it himself) was the scene when Hunt bashes the journo when Luada is in the press conference announcing his return to the F1 (it has never been confirmed or denied)

Girlfriend took me to see Let's be Cops on Sunday.

Predictable movie with a couple of funny moments thrown in.

Wait until it's on DVD and even then think about it.

Nolan said in an interview that this was done on purpose. Really enjoyed this film. 8/10

People are comparing to Saving Private Ryan. To be honest Ryan is not one of my favorites. Hoping for better.

^How is it possible to not like Ryan?

 

[Zoidberg]

It's got the grittiness and dirtiness of Ryan. It's pretty non-stop, always on the move with only one portion which settles the movie down before the ending. Tbh I think I enjoyed Ryan more on first viewing (maybe because I'd not seen anything like it before) but Fury definitely has the same "real" feel to it.

Just saw These Final Hours. The Australian end of the world movie set in Perth. Good but pretty heavy and overall depressing.

That actually looks like a solid Apoc film with a decent plot. Will check it out and get hurt right in the feels ;-)

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

The fault in our stars. Great film, would watch again.

Fury.

Good not great. Shia's most mature performance.
