With me.....Lego Movie.   And to be honest, it was quite a hilarious film to watch.  I recommend folks to watch this with kids, b/c I think they'll get a kick out of it, .

Saw Non-Stop last night. Thought it was pretty good. At 40,000ft with 150 suspects, someone has made a threat on a non-stop flight from New York City to London, a threat that only Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) can stop. If the person doesn’t get 150 million transferred into their account, they will kill someone onboard the flight every twenty minutes. Despite a cast of rather clichéd characters, the plot is actually pretty good. Complex enough to keep the viewer guessing up to the big reveal at the end, which is surprising in the face of the events that lead up to it.

 

                Although the music is a bit ambient, the characterization is what falls flattest. Bill Marks is your typical Liam Neeson character who brushes his teeth with bourbon and has his “awesome fighting moves”. Beyond Bill’s character, not much thought was really applied to anybody else. The villains are the clichéd mustache twirlers and the supporting cast really has no depth or anything to make them memorable at all. Jen Summers (Julianne Moore) has admittedly a little more thought than the rest of the supporting cast, but beyond her there is little more than filler characters. There’s the foreign man and the creepy looking bald guy who are obvious red herrings, and the little girl on her first lone flight who all provide nice filling for an otherwise fine plot that could have done much better with their characters better thought out.

 

                The editing was also a detractor from the film, and the editor should seriously consider going back to film school on this one. The messages between Bill Marks and the villains are shown to the viewer through text bubbles that pop up on the screen and really bring the viewer out of the world. What would have worked much better would have been to continue as the texts are originally viewed: through first person. This would have made the threat element that Bill’s character has to deal with a much more personal level.

 

In all, the film was decent, but it likely won’t be winning any awards in the Oscars. Its plot is good, but the film has a potential to be so much more. With all said and done, the film gets a 7/10 rating, and it is suggested that others view this movie as well.

Just rewatched Anastasia. In my opinion, one of the best animation films ever made. Up there with the greatest Disney films of the renaissance era. And it brings back so many memories.

[Treble Bolt 1,122]

Prince of Egypt....a Breathtaking animated experiance

[RainGloom 6]

The Truman Show on Euro Brony Night

I saw part of it when I was very little and now it felt good to know how it got to that end.

[Khaoios 1,970]

Godzilla.......yes, the American one.  TBH, i loved the design, and setting, but it should've never been called Godzilla. 

[Greywolfin 102]

Wolf Children... It's a lot like a Studio Ghibli film (Howls Moving Castle, Spirited Away, etc) but by a different company. It was excellent, I'd highly recommend it.

[Khaoios 1,970]

I will never........ever sit through Akira..........ever again.  Such a slow film......so slow, that I ended up on here.

[Rift enchanted 380]

The Lego movie. But I only watched it cause it had Morgan freeman in it.

The Grant Budapest Hotel (rated R), starring Ralph Fiennes and Tony Revolori, recounts the adventurous yet strange tale of lobby boy Ziro Moustapha (Revolori) and the eccentric yet ever devoted concierge M. Gustave H. (Fiennes) who both work at the Grand Budapest Hotel. By the time of the present, the Grand Budapest remains lavish, beautiful, remote, yet… dying. A story within the story, a man by the name of The Author tells his story of his visit to the hotel in the late 1960’s, where he met the elderly hotel owner, who recounts his own tale of the Grand Budapest Hotel that occurred in 1932.

 

In this all-star casted film that co-stars the likes of Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Edward Norton, Willem Dafoe, Jude Law, and more, Wes Anderson presents us to a both visual and narrative treat in the fictional alpine country of Zubrowka. Anderson constructs an intricate yet not unfamiliar world within this European country, with its own currency, customs, police, and even history to be told of. What is truly a masterpiece in this film isn’t its quirky and subtle humor, the masterpieces of art within it, its lovable cast of characters, or the artful way the film is presented. No, the true masterpiece is the story. Twisting and winding with many stops on the way, the story can become moderately predictable, but it is fun nonetheless.

 

The music resembles that of the strong yet not overbearing string instruments of Eastern Europe, adding quite nicely to the atmosphere of Turkish Baths, snowy slopes, armored fortresses, and barley fields that is the landscape of Zubrowka. With all the action flicks that explode the silver screen these days, it’s nice to unwind at the 4.5 out of 5 star Grand Budapest Hotel.

Frozen on Blu ray last night, and I'll say it was as good as everybody said. 

[Radiance64 7,053]

Watched Frozen last night- probably not my favorite animated movie ever, but I thought it was pretty great overall. Perhaps a slight bit overrated, but a very nice and heartfelt movie that mostly lives up to all its hype.

[TwilightFire 55]

Spirited Away was the last movie I watched recently. Howling's Moving Castle was also interesting to watch.

I watched Out For Justice about a couple weeks ago. So much fun watching Steven Seagal beat the crap out everyone.
