just saw the new trailer looks promising

Godzilla, not for me.

I watched Lifeboat (1944) recently. I didn't really see the point of it being a movie, it felt like and was acted like it was a play. It kept me watching to the end anyway. 6/10

Also watched The adventures of Robin hood (1938). Apart from the image quality being really well preserved everything else has aged horribly. The crowd scenes may be impressive but I didn't make it to the end of the movie, turned it off. 4/10

Then we watched The lion king again with the kids. Still awesome although I already know every line before they say it. One of Disney's best. Looks great on blu-ray.

Mr postman braved the freezing cold today and got me Summer wars, Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, Captain Phillips, The spectacular now and Rush. Good times ahead.

Maybe if I had seen Adventures of Robin hood when I was young I might have nostalgic feelings about it, just as I still have a soft spot for Willy Wonka & the chocolate factory.

First movie we have watched was The Spectacular Now. Well I watched it anyway, my wife fell asleep during the movie. It was pretty good but I found Sutter unconvincing, it felt more like he was narrating most of the time instead of living in the scene, or better said, the now. Other performances were great, loser dad was spot on, best scenes in the movie. 7/10

very enjoyable with a sad little ending based on a true story.

9/10

7/10

the devils backbone

6/10

and I watched 2 hours of inland empire 1 hour remaining...i dont know what is happening but I liked it

7/10 for now

Ha I immediately heard Sazu singing in my head when I saw that title. Nobody knows the troubles I've seen, nobody knows my sorrow.

Captain Phillips was pretty good. I liked it despite the usual Hollywood hero adjustments. The story might not be accurate, but the authenticity of the visuals and procedures certainly are. I'm a sucker for details and this movie didn't disappoint. They hired a freight ship (sister ship of the actual ship) and did all the filming on board, most out at sea. Filming inside the life pod was a big challenge and it paid off. Just be sure to watch it in a completely dark room, any ambient light will blot out half the detail in a lot of scenes.

Sound design was excellent, all the ambient surround effects do a great job at drawing you into the movie.

Usually the ending kinda falls flat in these kind of movies, but not this time. Tom Hanks is finally allowed to become human for the last 30 minutes and the last scene in the infirmary, which wasn't even planned, is a brilliant way to end the movie. 8/10


The extras were fun too. Paul Greengrass asking the engineer, what can my guys do in the engine room, they need to look busy at departure. Engineer: Erm nothing, everything is set. Paul: Can they can turn these handles over here. Engineer: Then when an engineer sees the movie he'll be scratching his head, why are they activating the toilet flush. Paul: Just press some buttons over there then. Engineer: Sure, that doesn't do anything anyway.

Yesterday I watched The Possession (2012) on Amazon Prime.
I don't watch horror very much, but I thought it was a decent movie; it didn't scare me as much as I thought it would however.

I watched lone survior. I that it started out slow,but after that it was really good in my opinion. I liked it. I also saw captain philips. Another really good movie,but I thought lone survior was better.

Lone survivor, the plot synopsis makes me think of a movie I saw a long time ago, a tank crew lost somewhere in the desert. Thanks to the internet memory refresher: The beast of war 1988.
I don't know if I'll watch it, I'm not really into modern war movies, especially not ones that deal with US' obsession with Al'Qaeda.

We watched Cloudy with a chance of meatballs today. The kids liked it, it was fun. Yet how fast cgi animation ages, can't believe it was only a 2009 movie. Candy crush in Wreck it Ralph looks so much better. Entertaining movie anyway, achieves what it set out to do. 7/10
