Skyfall

Was pretty disappointing. I love Bond and I even like Daniel Craig as Bond but this movie just felt aimless and pointless. Like it was searching for a plot.

Star Trek Into Darkness.

Was MUCH better than I expected but I still have a hard time accepting the characters. I think it'll be probably 20 years before I don't look and immediately think "That guy does kind of look like Spock".

The Hunt for Red October [1990]

One of my favorites. In fact, I haven't seen it for years. I think I'll see if I still have it.

Bad Influence.

I had forgotten this awesome and creepy movie from the 90s but it's one of those movies that really surprised me back in the day when I rented it not expecting much.

Raw Deal

The Punisher(1989)

I remember both of these. In fact, I remember renting both of them at Blockbuster when they first came out. I should say I remember the names of the movies and the posters. I don't have the vaguest memory what they were about.

Stand By Me

The Fly (1986 version)

 

[WillYouStopDave]

The Mosquito Coast (I remember seeing it many years ago but it's better than I remembered it being)

I finally saw Interstellar.

I swear every time I see one of Nolan's films I can't shake this feeling I get that the man is almost a genius but just isn't quite there. He's probably the most talented director of all of the big names working today but I always get this feeling that he should team up with someone who can fill in some of the gaps in his work.

The film left me..........almost mesmerized but something was missing. I don't know what. I tell you what really bugs me about his films. He almost expects his viewers to be mind readers. He wastes little time explaining a lot of things that (while not extremely important) he felt were important enough to be part of the story and wouldn't have added that much fat.

I also can't shake the feeling that someday he'll do something that will just top everything that's ever been done in film.

I tried to watch the 2003 version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I never saw the original so I didn't really know what to expect. It was kind of OK for like half an hour but it quickly became so stupid it hurt to watch it. I had to turn it off. So I actually didn't really watch it.

Watchmen - Had a really strange vibe that I never really got used to but was kind of irresistible at the same time. Weird movie.

 

[WillYouStopDave]

Cast Away - Haven't seen it in years. The DVD has been sitting at the top of the pile for a long time. Just haven't really been in a heavy movie watching mood for a long time.

It's my first time watching them all, so I watched the Alien movies first, then the Predators, then the crossovers, and ending it with Prometheus.

Also, I really want to see that movie! I loved the first one.

I don't think I have the patience to sit through every Alien movie but man I loved the first two.

It's odd to see they're still so relevant. I just watched them a few weeks ago.

I didn't enjoy the Predator movies as much but I remember I did like the first Predator a lot when it first came out. So many of these movies just don't lend themselves very well to sequels and remakes. They can have all the passion in the world for the work and still mess it up.

Frankenstein

Duel

Dr No - Gonna try to watch all the Bonds chronologically with my dad. Even I haven't seen them all (and not in order either). Though I don't think I can stand to watch Moonraker again. Have to admit I kinda lost interest when Brosnan came along (Which is weird because I always thought he was perfect to play Bond). GoldenEye was good though.

Jurrasic World.
Got bored at 30mins...such a bad movie.

It wasn't THAT bad. The Jurassic theme is just worn out and it just felt like a bad remake of the original. There were some good ideas but there were some terrible parts too.

Even with the original I often find myself getting bored during the kitchen scene. The first time you see it, that's one of the best scenes. Lots of movies are like that.

I've watched all of the Bond films and have watched most of them with my dad since they might be his favourite movies. I wasn't a fan of the Brosnan films either. Have you seen Casino Royale? I think Daniel Craig is the best Bond along with Sean Connery. Timothy Dalton was a good Bond too. He's underrated.

Yeah. I've only seen Casino Royale a couple of times but obviously, yes. Craig is a great Bond. I thought Dalton was good too.

But...yeah. Bond is kind of a thing with me. Always loved Bond films. I was always really into all those gadgets and stuff. When I was a kid, there weren't too many movies where they just went crazy with the villains and their gadgets and lairs. I saw that and I just loved it.

I started watching Fight Club a couple of hours ago but only got about ten minutes in. It seemed unbelievably stupid for such a popular movie and I couldn't take it anymore so turned it off. I'm tempted to try and push on but I don't see how this movie could possibly get any better from the nonsensical way it started.

I watched part of 2010 last night (probably will watch the rest today sometimes). I kept feeling like I was watching Jaws in space. Roy Scheider seems like the same guy as he was in Jaws almost. It's been a long time since I saw this one and now I'm feeling like I wish it didn't exist. It takes away from the other movie.

 

[WillYouStopDave]

I don't really watch movies so much anymore. Mostly documentaries. Been watching a lot of ship documentaries lately. Any kind of engineering documentary interests me pretty much.
