Movie topic.

Now here's a question, does it have to be in theaters? Because I saw a pretty unique movie on showtime a few months ago.

Theathre preferred, but occasional TV OK.

Watched the new Total Recall yesterday.

It was crap.

How could you support such blasphemy!!!!

Total Recall is by very, V E R Y far my favourite Schwarzenegger movie. So you could say I'm a bit biased. But I must honestly tell you I liked the new Total Recall. I knew from the beginning they would be too chicken shit to be as daring, dirty and violent as the original. But I liked that they didn't try to imitate the original. Changed the setting from Mars to Earth, lots of eyecandy cgi, Beckinsale and Biel were also easy on the eyes And I have to say, Beckinsale basically pulling off playing Michael Ironside's role, being badass and all. I liked it. Farell is a polar opposite of Schwarzenegger (both in physique and talent). While it doesn't even come close to the original movie it was a fun action/ scifi movie. But I'm a really remake-friendly guy anyway as it's always a win/win situation.

saw pacific rim last friday. wouldn't tell anyone to run off to the cinema for it but it's def worth a watch. drama was alright but a bit hollywood dumbed-down, especially when considering evangelion as an influence. action tho was really satisfying.

re:alien - watched all of them for the first time a few years ago. #1's basically a solid horror-movie, #2 an action spectacle and #3 some kinda freaky-thriller-thingy. they're all fine, but quality-wise i'd place them in release order. #4 i'd already seen and it's basically the worst movie ever conceived and pretty much killed both the franchise and the genre. max payne might be worse, but the damage done by alien 4 left a cgi-stain on the movie industry from 1998 and forward.

I rewatched Alien recently - and it hasn't aged very well.  I had very fond memories of it, and would have rated it in my top 10 movies, but the scenes i remembered as atmospheric, and moody, now just seem to come across as a bit dull and boring.  Maybe it was just the frame of mind i was in, but i didn't enjoy it at all.

when i saw it in '09 or something i thought the ships interior and dashboard looked comically primitive, like a typical 70's image of the "future", but i actually got past that pretty quickly and really enjoyed the movie for what it was. and that's despite me not really liking any movies pre-1980.

Went to see Night at the Museum 3, it was quite dissapointing.
Forced jokes and only thing that made me smirk a bit was the Pompeii thing and even that was in the trailer already.
Rebel Wilson was shit.
Anyway: RIP Robin Williams.

I also went to see Kingsman which was actually pretty good, and last 20 or minutes were really cracking me up.

I enjoyed the Interview. I didn't know who Katy Perry was before watching it, but now I am not ashamed to admit I like her. She's a great singer. I watched Hot Tub Time Machine on Xbox for free this weekend. I'm a fan of stupid comedies.

Night at the Museum was pretty blah and I like Affleck and Williams.

Just watched the Martian.

Somewhat realistic movie.
I liked it.

Looking forward to seeing it, but I probably won't see it in the theaters since we rarely go anymore.  I'll definately get in on Blue Ray when it comes out.

There is a meme going around that jokes about how much money we've spent on "bringing Matt Damon back"  (Saving Private Ryan, Interstellar, & The Martian)

Never thought of that.

I really enjoyed The Visit. The Nanna played her part well.

The Martian was awesome.  I highly recommend going to see it if you get the chance.  There was a lot going on in the movie, and I never found myself looking at my watch.

Yesterday I watched Hotel Transylvania 2... Was OK.

Today I watched Spectre... Was OK too... But getting stale.
