Recently Watched Films

Just watched Deadpool. Now that´s what I call a superhero movie. Damn that was great entertainment. Gory, funny, nuts, and action packed. And a beautiful girl. I can´t ask for more.

Finally went to go see the new Star Wars tonight, and it was actually pretty good. Yeah, it took quite a bit from A New Hope and Kylo Ren was pretty whiny, but I still enjoyed it.

I've watched Mad Max: Fury Road and X-Men: Days of Future Past in the last week, both of which I liked a lot. Days of Future Past I would say is even the best of the X-Men films so far.

I used to be a huge horror and splatter movie fan and I´ve watched a lot of films in that genre in the past, but it´s very few in that genre which aren´t filled with boring cliches and I´ve gotten tired of essentially watching the same film over and over Again....and I´ve gotten soft too .

I need to rewatch it sometime when I eventually catch up with the pile of DVD's I haven't watched at all yet. Watched a horror film called Treehouse last night. It was okay in parts but unfortunately a bit thin on plot with one notable plot point left abandoned and unanswered throughout the whole film, and the film ended so abruptly that it felt like half the story was missing as well. Disappointing.

Yeah Inception can certainly be watched more than one time.

Finally watched "Inception" last night. Pretty entertaining.

I'd seen part 1 before, but wanted to watch it again in advance of seeing part 2 for the first time. I loved it overall, and felt some scenes were as good as the book if not better, but a couple key scenes didn't quite work as well on screen, so while I loved it overall, it's hard to say which version I prefer. I've got both Mockingjays sitting there ready to watch. Was quite impressed with the first two movies, and liked the books more than I thought I would. Also impressed with Jennifer Lawrence's acting. I'd thought she was a bit overrated, and she's hardly stretched in these films, but it needed a strong female lead. I liked the first movie, but already by number 2 I wasn´t that interested anymore, and number 3 meh...made me not want to bother with number 4.   I watched "The Book of Eli" tonight and while it´s not a perfect post-apocalyptic movie, it had it´s moments and a nice dark atmosphere. Worth watching for sure.   Watch "San Andreas" too. Other than the effects it was a shitty cliché disaster movie. But that daughter mm...mm .

The Book of Eli was pretty good, but the end was a bit of a... um... borrowing from Fahrenheit 451 (also an excellent movie from about 1966).

I have avoided San Andreas. Having lived through real major earthquakes, I don't want to sit through idiotic bullshit like that.

And on the Jennifer Lawrence front, I saw her front  Silver Linings Playbook the other night. I can see where her acting kudos comes from now. Oscar well deserved. Was far more surprised at how good Bradley Cooper was. I'd always considered him a bit of a lightweight actor, considering some of the shit he's been in, but his portrayal of a man recovering from a nervous breakdown was excellent.
