What was the last movie you watched? (2014 Edition)


Recommended Posts

Tropa de Elite. Happens to be one of two favourite Brazilian films of mine; the other being City of God (Y)

 

Watch the sequel, it's pretty great. Less gunfights but a very engaging story, especially if you know a bit about Brazil. A 3rd movie would be great.

I've watched it many times and yep, just as great as the first film with Wagner Moura's exceptional acting - just happens to be more political, if anything. I'd love to see the series topped off with a 3rd film too.

It's an evolving portrait and commentary about Brazil. First the violence, then the corruption, and it can only go up from there. A 3rd movie focused on the current troubles with the World Cup, which mirror some of the issues of the Pope's visit referred to in the first movie (BOTA NA CONTA DA COPA!), would be something special.

I agree, though I wonder who could fill the shoes of Matias/Neto alongside Nascimento.

Maybe they advance the movie a couple of years and we see it from the perspective of Rafael, as a student involved in the protests. (If the producers use this, I WANT CREDIT!)

Much like Thor 2, the Captain America sequel improves greatly upon the foundation laid by the first one. Solid, entertaining, fun, and a kick-ass superhero movie (like all of them should be). Give it a watch. (There are 2 after the credits scenes, stick around)

True Grit (2010)

 

7.5/10

 

It's a coen movie. I loved them back in the days of Fargo, Lebowski, Brother and the man who was not there but i think these days they are as overrated as Woody Allen. It's a good movie it's just too much coenesque filled with useless boring dialogs which are not bringing anything to the story and unlike Fargo most of them are not funny at all.

 

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

 

7.5/10

 

I really loved this movie. I don't say that often but i think it's better than the first. Never read the book so can't say if it follows the book or not. My fan score would be between 8 and 8.5. But there's obvious flaws and there's too much of them. This serie could have been the new Star Wars but sadly the script is too much shallow and PG13esque.

 

You're Next (2011)

 

5.5/10

 

Had potential. That's it. Too much holes in the script the more the movie progress to worse it is.

The Way Way Back (2013)

 

7/10

 

Nice coming of age. Just nothing special but definately worth a watch if you like this kind of movies.

 

Winter's Bone (2010)

 

7/10

 

I'm still not sure if this movie was about a bunch of Aliens or Humans. Are rednecks really acting like this? If i had to deal with people that dumb and antisocial i would quickly lose it.

7/10

 If you're going to scrutinize whether it follows the KJV Bible then you will be disappointed. If you are going to see it because it is a great story, great effects and great acting, then you will be pleased.

Concept was intriguing, acting superb, unexpected ending.  Nice ass kicking scenes.  Tarantino-ish plot directed by Spike Lee.

Josh Brolin goes into Jason Statham mode.

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
