Justice League 1/5 Avoid this movie if you liked Man of Steel, Batman v Superman and Wonder Woman because those movies have nothing to do with this one. If you liked Suicide Squad then this is a perfect movie for you and fits in that same universe. | |

Not as bad as feared, but still bad.

Last night my son and I watched The Last Two-Thirds Of A Movie, and what a movie! I won't tell you what it was, but I'll give you a hint:

a bit too quickly, probably. i think i'd do better service to most of the movies if i spaced my viewings out a bit more. december's going to be busy for me anyway, so i'll likely be taking my feet off the pedal for a spell.

I actually saw that one on a REALLY crappy airplane TV screen. As far as I can recall, it really didn't deserve anthing more than that. I'm no expert, but I suppose WB is shitting its pants at the moment. They can't seem to get it right, except WW, which I haven't seen (I guess Gal Gadot will be filthy rich in some years because of the leverage she has now - good for her!). Hey loudmouth, shut the fuck up, right? | |

Cause the gal i was dating at the time wanted to see it. I swore that it seemed like it was actually PIECED together from rushes and was missing a complete 3rd act. Instead there was a prolonged (*and WIDE SHOT) sequence of will Smith fighting these shitty prune drones.....i say WIDE SHOT cause it occurred to me that it was never intended to be that long of a scene and they lacked the reshooting schedule or budget to close in on close ups (*if it WERE intended to have been so long). That film was freakinf dreadful. Never mind the plot flaws that they could've just killed the enchantress and avoided everything all together and never mind the comically bad gyrating final "boss stage" with that corny dancing gal and the golem guy. I was insulted going to see that crap. The pandering was put on so hard as to make me cringe. Felt like a corporate table chop up from executives One thing I'm grateful for though, .....was they cut out that phony hipster wigger wanksta gay ass joker. What a joke. ♫"Trollin, Trolling!

three billboards outside ebbing, missouri - 3.5/5 it's hard for me to pinpoint exactly why, but i found myself struggling to get on this movie's wavelenght for the first third or so. it's a touch scattershot & shambolic, but that would normally be a selling point for me, & i don't think that was the issue. more so that many of the early scenes felt stagey & artificial, & i never found myself settling into the story. i did find its rhythm as it moved along, and really enjoyed it once i did so. i'd like to watch it again to see if i have the same reaction to it, but as it currently stands i'd slot this a little below martin mcdonagh's other movies, especially in bruges.

the lost city of z - 3.75/5 based (loosely, i'm sure) on the life of british explorer percy fawcett & his repeated journeys through the amazon in the early 1900s. a thoroughly enjoyable throwback to classic adventure cinema. also a bit of a mirror image of werner herzog's fitzcarraldo & aguirre in that fawcett approaches the amazon with humility instead of hubris. not perfect by any means - it sports some cliches, shortcuts & caricatures - but i really, really liked it.

I really liked that... really, really funny at times. Villain wasn't strong but Peter Parker / Spiderman and Tony Stark made up for that. 7/10 Hey loudmouth, shut the fuck up, right? | |

I saw the new Thor movie finally last night with my girlfriend, and I absolutely loved it.
I haven't seen the first two (I have a lot of catching up to do before Infinity Wars), but Ragnarok looked to be a far less heavy, more fun film than a lot of other MCU efforts, and the cast in this one was fantastic (I was particularly excited for Jeff Goldblum; he's in the same category as Christopher Walken and Steve Buscemi where he has a particular set of bizarre quirks that make him entertaining no matter what he's in).
The film was great: it was a delicate balance of fun and serious, with great special effects, a ton of laughs and just the right amount of more dramatic elements. Hemsworth and Hiddleston still don't look bored in their roles yet, they still seem to be finding new nuances and dynamics that weren't in previous films. Ruffalo's still the best Banner to date, and Blanchett and Goldblum were awesome villians; it's always great watching big name dramatic actors play the villians in these films and chew the scenery (Nicholson as the Joker, Defoe as the Green Goblin), and Blanchett just looks like she had a blast.
Overall, I give the film a 9/10, making it one of MCU's best films to date. | |

We just got back from "Three Billboards Outside of East Bumblef***, Missouri". During the movie, a storm passed through and the power went out. [Edited 12/3/17 20:18pm] | |
