I actually liked this the best of the three.

Amy

7.5/10. Amy Winehouse movie. It was good from a musical perspective and gave you an inside look into her personal life with lots of videos. She was really a raw talent and a unique individual and more than the drug addicted maniac the press made her out to be.

The Dissapearance of Eleanor Rigby(2014) Jessica Chastain. James Mcavoy
what a borefest 4/10

I didn't plan on watching this flick but finally gave in because of Pike.

Gone Girl 6.5 of 10 - I love Rosamund Pike but really hate Ben Affleck, annoyingly hate so because of that I dug the movie and how it came together.

Worst of the bunch.

Expendables 3 - 5/10

I will say Antonio Banderas killed me, the best of show. I dug his role so much it's probably the reason I kept watch.


Maybe I'll watch it again, sometimes I don't give shows a chance or I'm interrupted but I had a hard time watching this one with the whole younger crew and shit. I didn't like the cast.

Coonskin - Ralph Bakshi really could create comic art on film that falls somewhere in between cool and crap - this one is somewhere in between. Is it blatantly racist, is it a warning tale on the then modern society( 1975 ), is it pseudo porn.... all the above? Probably. Surprised he didn't get knifed back in the day. 5/10

Penthouse North(2013) Michelle Monaghan and Michael Keaton 6.5/10

Far cry from the reviews I've seen. This was so fucking generic and lame. There's no pay-off, the movie is slow as fuck, and it has this gay-ass Christian vibe to boot. Absolutely sucks as a horror movie. It's like an episode of 7th Heaven where Reverend childfucker performs a half-assed exorcism and Jessica Biel isn't hot. Blech.

Is that the one that "Annabelle" was supposed to be a prequel to?

City of the Living Dead (the TV version) -El Rey Network did a pretty good job of leaving the gore in overall 5/10

Hector and the Search for Happiness(2014) Simon Pegg & Rosemund Pike

Kinda like eat pray love but with a guy 6.5/10

It Follows - the score was cool, very 70's/80's style that definitely helped the creepy factor in an otherwise not scary film. First 15min were cool, after that it was a one trick pony. Might be as overhyped as Babadook as the "best horror film in years". 6/10

Yellowbrickroad (2010) - 6/10. Low-budget indy horror with some good ideas and pretty great atmosphere, but it ultimately fails in a Blair Witch Project kinda way and leaves you feeling cheated.

Nurse 3D (2013) - 3/10. Even if you pretend this was deliberately made as a horror parody (I doubt it), it pretty much sucks. Katrina Bowden is hot in it and Paz de la Huerta is, at least, naked more often than not. I'm not sure if she's really the worst actress of all time, genuinely retarded, or just fucking with her directors.

Don't know that one, but it starts and ends with a stupid doll called "Annabelle", so probably.

An officer and a gentleman(1981) 10/10 One of my all time favorite
Ill never get sick of this movie Gere is great,Winger super hot,gossett jr ruled

Ant-Man! 8/10

Kinda like the first Iron Man movie without all the RDJ fast talking but more heart. Plus it's also been way too long since a big budget shrinking movie. Great effects, great humor and just enough connectors to the MCU to get everyone excited for Civil War next year.

BONUS: Michael Peña should narrate everything.

I took my niece to see this movie, knowing nothing about it. Great movie that will hit you right in the feels.

Echo this, took my 4th old daughter, we both loved it.

AGREED... take your kids, take your nieces, neighbors, etc... take 'em all.
Loved this one.

Mungo Lake.

I've seen it a number of times and am still seeing things I missed. Interesting Australian film. Not quite horror at all, or a thriller. It's a quiet film if that makes sense. The closest I can come to is "Picnic at Hanging Rock".

Ouija(2014) zzzzzzz 4/10

Agreed. And very refreshing to have a superhero movie that wasn't "OMG the whole city/country/world is going to be destroyed!" Well thought out story and well told. Michael Douglas was also really good and had a bigger role than iI expected, too. And that clip after the credits end ROCKED!

Terminator Genisys.
It was better than anyone would have expected.
We thought would have been a giant pile of suck, but we were pleasantly
surprised.

Did he bitch-slap his wife?

The Baytown Outlaws - 7/10

Trainwreck. Actually pretty fucking funny. 7/10

3-Headed Shark Attack (2015): 6/10

I had Syfy's Sharknado Week on all day yesterday. This was the last movie I watched (I had to DVR Zombie Shark, which I'll watch tonight maybe), and I'm a bit torn. On the plus side, the shark itself was phenomenal. Way above and beyond normal Syfy standards. Also, Danny Trejo. W00t! I hate to spoil anything but the homage to Samuel L. Jackson in Deep Blue Sea, though obvious, was nice. However... the ham-handed attempt to add a "green" lesson to a Syfy film pisses me off to no end. I don't watch these movies to be lectured about the dangers of pollution. Just show me mutated sharks eating people and STFU about your causes.

Southpaw
*Attended an advanced screening last night*
8/10
Jake's best movie IMO is "End Of Watch". If you have not seen the movie, go do that right away.
"Southpaw" was shot so well and the fight scenes looked very legit. I would be surprised if Jake was not giving and taking real punches.
Rachel(his wife) was so fine. Without giving anything away, she stole some scenes.
Movie would have been better with another ending.
Not better than Rocky or Raging Bull, but still a very strong film with terrific boxing sequences.
