The Last Samurai - 9/10 - I had seen this but not in probably a decade so I snagged it on Amazon a while ago for $5. I really liked this movie. I love the setting, the music, the battles, the characters, everything about it. The movie flew by too it did not feel like it was 2.5 hours long. I only deducted 1 point just because Tom Cruise learned the Samurai way a bit too quick IMO, although he was there for a while and was a soldier already, but still a bit hard to believe. But it's a movie so it's okay.
I love that movie. The Hans Zimmer score was also perfect.

i finally watched The Lobster
anyone that likes weird movies should watch it
overall it was good
but there are a few things that i just couldn't buy, ie slightly lazy script writing

The Lobster is one of those movies that are pretty niche.

I liked it myself, but many people would not.

My wife was not thrilled at any rate.

Punch Drunk Love
what did I just watch / 10

Honestly, it was a decent movie. Had it's funny moments. Had some of the independent vibe to it .... t was an independent film. It was enjoyable but when it ended my friend and I were both like, WTF did we just watch?

Have you seen Dogtooth from the same director? It's incredible. I loved the The Lobster. The director's sense of humour is just awesome and I love it. What parts did you think were lazy?

I rewatched this not long ago. Still love it. I guess it's a bit weird, but it's about a weird dude so it makes sense. Some awesome PSH in this one too.

Baskets S02E01 Freaks - 7/10

The second season of Baskets has begun. Very good opening episode. Lonesome loser, black comedy(?), sometimes hard to watch, but always well done. I love Martha, although she only had a small part in this episode. There isn't a more realistic character on TV today.

Good show and character development, but I feel like they ran out of story lines with season 3 (you probably can see why given its plot/setting). I'll still watch the new season but it may have jumped the shark at that point.

I'll probably finish up season 1 today and start season 2. Looking forward to it.

Storks: 6/10

Good enough to keep the kid entertained. Had a few funny parts but overall, I just didn't think it was great.

i had nothing better to do:

Alien Vs Predator: Requiem - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758730/reference

currently at 4.7 on IMDb

spoilers!

Immediately continuing from the ending of AVP, the body of Scar - the Predator who kicked alien butt in AVP is being taken back to the world of the Predators, but a chestbuster emerges from the body .. a PREDALIEN!
So the spaceship crashes in Colorado, and a bunch of facehuggers escape the wreckage. On Planet Predator, what must be the boss of the Predators says "this is a job for me, PredaBoss" and comes to earth in a zip to kick some predalien butt".
While the facehuggers infect everyone with due diligence and impressive speed (body count doesn't even spare young children), the predaboss come to colorado and starts a massacre. Cue a bunch of random youths that starts falling dead in a manner resembling the best Friday 13 films.
Then BOOM, they nuke it from orbit.

Ok, i enjoyed this crapfest way more than i should have. Yes, the photography is dark (which you need, when you have the model of the monster is FULL VIEW), but the fanboy will get many juicy details about both aliens and predators; and yes the story is nonexistent, but if you see this as a splatter-horror, you get death upon death, all in creative and unapologetic ways.

I suspect that the reason for this film failing so bad, is that it's a Alien=franchise film; if it had been directed at the horror fan, they would have made much more money. Think of the scenes in A2 when the marines are shooting up the place, it's that, but for the whole film. And if it had a protagonist, you could almost call it an action film.

It's a stupid film whose sole purpose is to show aliens kill people in ways that fanboys have imagined before this even existed. I vote: 6.5/10

There are many good heist movies and yes, I love GOOD heist movies but because the character development was so bad in this movie, the whole movie failed. This is no where near the Ocean movies at all. Even the weakest Ocean movie, Ocean's Twelve, is much better than Rogue One.

Any Oceans movie besides the first Oceans 11 sucked terribly. I'd rather watch Rogue One than any of the Oceans 11 sequels any day of the week and twice on Sundays

Good call. It's about time I watched this movie again. I remember thinking it was excellent and brought a tear to my eye.

the remake with an all girl crew is out already?!
I could totally see that happening. The one from the 60s was okay, but the one from 2001 was just a lot slicker. I'm a sucker for these things, so they could crank one out every year or two and I'd be happy.
