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


Recommended Posts

Watched Miyazaki's last film "The Wind Rises" yesterday with the girlfriend, great historical drama with Hideki Anno voicing the lead character amazingly well and beautiful artwork as usual by Studio Ghibli.

I'm really going to miss watching his magical animation/storytelling on the big screen.

2.5/5

Can't argue with the rating, but this is a classic. Saw it as a kid at drive-in. 2nd Movie was Pretty Baby with Brooke Shields, but Susan Sarandon's naked breasts brought on early puberty for me.

4.5/5

9.5/10

Along with Lore, one of my top 10, both found here.

Gareth Edwards knows monster movies and he did a great job with Godzilla. It's a great movie overall and a worthy addition to the genre. Loved it.

 

The only way this movie would be better was if in the after the credits scene Gipsy Danger somehow showed up. Also, there is no after the credits scene.

How would that be possible when Gipsy was destroyed? I mean, it pretty much self destructed.

That's why I said somehow. Maybe some kind of easter egg. My dream trilogy for Pacific Rim would be a sequel and a prequel based on the Mark I Jaegers. Cherno Alpha is the best Jaeger.

I think it would have to be in the same series/universe in order for a Easter Egg to happen. lol.

Couldn't agree more, watched it yesterday in 3D. I liked the fact the lead actors had just the right amount of screen presence that didn't make you overlook what the movie was truly about (Y)

Godzilla (2014) 7.5/10. I liked it, but not really impressed by it. I hated how it was edited.

Say there's a build up to a scene revealing Godzilla, then it shows him, then cuts away to another scene. I feel like.. uhhhh.. I kinda want to see the whole thing unfold. PUT ME ON GROUND ZERO, not the TV.

The Hobbit 1: 6/10

I am tempted to give it a 7, I didn't fall asleep and there were a few moments I thought were well done. It was a solid meh. I didn't feel pulled into the movie, like the previous trilogy and it was obvious he was dragging the movie out, so he could make a trilogy out of a single movie worth of content.

 

Star Trek: Heart of Darkness: 8/10

Despite horrible use of fake science, shaky cam and light reflections gone wild... it was a very entertaining movie. Every time my hard science fiction geek reared up and said "oh my gawd, that has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard", I was quickly shut up by rather entertaining action sequences. I wish shaky cam dude, would hire some guys to work with his writers in coming up better "fake science", but I can't fault the guy in creating an entertaining movie.

The Dark Knight - 8.5/10 - It drags on just a tiny bit too much. I found myself getting a bit bored towards the end. Still though, even after the hype train, this movie is awesome.

 

Which in turn made me watch:

Batman - 7.5/10 - I forgot how good this movie was. It hasn't aged well to be honest, but I really enjoyed it. I think Jack NIcholson is on par with Heath Ledger.

I haven't seen The Dark Knight, but I loved Nicholson as the Joker in Batman.

 

One of his best lines: "He stole my balloons! Why didn't somebody tell me that he had one of those...THINGS?"

    • 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.
