Any revenge film is entertaining for me. Not sure what my favorite is. :)
EDIT: Just watched 'Neighbors.' It was pretty funny, it had its moments, but definitely not all it was amped up to be. I feel like comedy and horror films receive way too much praise lately, and anytime one is recommended to me, it's nowhere near as top quality as everyone says it is.
Probably my second favourite film of the year so far (only The Raid 2 beats it). Well worth a watch.
10/10
I also saw Godzilla, which I felt was a let down. Wish I'd gone to see Bad Neighbours instead. Never seen a Godzilla film before but I found it really boring. Special effects were good but it was really slow paced, I lost interest halfway through, and the only character I really liked died about 20 minutes in. The rest of the characters were really bland. Even the final fight was a let down because of how slow it was.
Bryan Cranston was brilliant as always but he was barely any it. He has a minor role, Aaron Taylor Johnson is the lead. The studio just used Cranston in all the marketing to capitalise on how massively popular he is at the moment thanks to Breaking Bad. Really pissed me off, he was one of the main reasons I went to see it and he had really little screen time. I felt tricked.
Also I thought the ending was silly.
6/10. It wasn't really a bad film but I did think it was a boring one.
:O
What were your thoughts?
As for me, just watched 'Terror Train' for the first time. On a bit of a Jamie Lee Curtis/horror fix, and I decided to watch this. Honestly, I'm not a fan of it. Incredibly slow-paced and it lacked on showing almost any of the kills.
What a nutty stupid ridiculous movie. I loved it.
Well, I guess I liked it a bit... It had some cool moments. I like the scenes with Willis, and you gotta love Jackson and Travolta. And the reason I watched it: Walken! He´s my favourite villain, so I thought it would be fun to see him act in something else, since I´ve only seen him in "Catch Me If You Can" and AVTAK. I was really pissed off when I found out that he was only in the film for three minutes! It was three amazing minutes, but still!!
One can say the same about DAD, if you remove that last part...
I haven't seen this in years, all I knew is that demon faces pop up randomly throughout the movie, and something about a stairwell and puke, it's been that long. But, this movie came out in the 70's, it's been hailed the scariest movie of all time by so many people, but I figured "Hey, if it didn't leave a lasting impression on me when I was a kid, it won't now." Plus, the movie is roughly 40 years old, so it's more than likely incredibly corny now.
Nope! Took me hours to get through this movie. It gave me chills, made my heart race, just the sheer creepiness (and damn good jump scares) that had me freaking out. Had to turn on all the lights while I watched it. Took to IMDB's trivia page afterward and learned a lot of unique stuff about it, too (like I usually do), which was pretty cool and helped ease the tension afterward.
I also liked the twist. Everyone on the internet was bitching about it but (I say this as someone who doesn't read comics) I thought it was a good twist. I didn't see it coming. Ben Kingsley was great too, he pretty much plays two characters and he's great at both. It reminded me of RDJ in Tropic Thunder actually (an actor playing an actor playing a character).
The Wicker Man The Nic Cage remake. I think the original is brilliant but this one is great for an entirely different reason: it's so bad it's funny. If I want to see a brilliant creepy horror film that manages to make you feel uneasy without relying on jump scares and gore then I can watch the first one. But I also really enjoy watching Nic Cage punch a woman in the face while dressed as a bear.
Yeah it was amazing. It had everything that made the first one brilliant and more but it wasn't just a retread of the first one. A great example of a sequel done right.
I think with some better action/fight sequences, I would love a sequel to 'Predators.' I loved the setting and the characters, especially Brody's main character. However, the upcoming Predator work we're getting is more of a sequel to 'Predator' than a reboot.
@thelivingroyale, agreed. I saw some people complaining that it wasn't just like the first one, but honestly, I'm glad it stretched out beyond one location, giving us numerous scenarios for fight scenes and many, many more characters to learn about. Oh, and:

I particularly like the Arnie/Danny Glover team-up for a direct sequel to the second film. How epic would that be!
It is a great film and Caine is just pure class!
Maurice Micklewhite is still going strong at 81.
That was the name he was born with.No wonder he changed it. :)
A wonderful Korean film that is all around intense with a few good fight scenes, wonderful acting and cinematography, a typical plot with an exciting twist, and a great finale. Now that I'm on a foreign fix, time to rewatch 'The Raid: Redemption.'
Funny romantic comedy with Jim Gandolfini and Elaine. It has some good acting and interesting twists.
I really enjoy it but it was also sad because it was one of Jim's final movies.
I hated it the first time I watched it, loved it the first time I rewatched it, and it's "so-so" upon my second rewatch. Doesn't stand out in any sense, pretty generic, the hand-to-hand fight scenes are mediocre, but I love the driving sequences and a good portion of the dialogue. Other than that, it's just alright.
'Enemy'
Directed by the same guy (Villeneuve) who directed 'Prisoners,' and both of these films starred Gyllenhaal. A history teacher watches a movie, and he sees someone in the movie that looks exactly like him. He sets out to find this man. That's all you need to know. Sounds simple enough, but this film will have you itching for me, chewing at every detail to figure out what in the hell is going on until those unbelievable few seconds of the movie that changes everything. Just watch it. Don't read up on it. Don't watch any trailers. Just jump right into it. This film seriously blew my mind.
Ah, so you're coming around to my opinion of the movie, eh? ;) That's exactly how I'd describe it: just alright, and a bit "meh." Even Tom couldn't save that film.
A cracking actioner that anybody who is into action movies needs to have seen or should not be considered a fan of the genre.
I really like Predator but just because others may not, doesn't mean they can't be a fan of the genre.
I did not say like, they should at least have seen the movie!
Fair point. I assume you've seen The Raid movies?
