The Hateful Eight
What was the last movie you watched? Rate it :)
(Like, shouldn't my post count have been halved with the deletion of the old one?)
Apocalypto
The fact that it's subtitled totally makes it more realistic and personally involves you in the scenario, because Mayan tribesmen communicated by reading text accompanied by an unfamiliar language.

I'll definitely add it to my watch list. It kinda sounds like another film that I've seen recently which I've just realised is by the same director (5 centimeters per second). Short-ish, visually impressive stuff seems to be his cup of tea lol.It's definitely a gorgeous movie, no question, as are all of Makoto Shinkai's films :] It's slightly on the shorter side, about 45 mins if I recall correctly, and not a whole lot is happening plot-wise (the story is focused on the 2 main characters), still I think it's worth checking out for the emotional interactions between the 2 protagonists. If all else fails, every single scene is pure eye candy so you won't be disappointed in that regard.
I just watched this again too. Thanks for the reminder. It was his inspiration for making Django, right?The Hateful Eight
The last few I saw were:
War for the Planet of the Apes
Beauty & the Beast
Despicable Me 3
The Uninvited

I don't know the details behind it but this one came out after Django, could have been on the backburner all along though, lots of movie ideas sit untouched for years before they are made. Either way, I laughed like a madman, lolI just watched this again too. Thanks for the reminder. It was his inspiration for making Django, right?
The Avengers (2012)
My third viewing. It gets better with each watch. Really enjoy seeing the elements they pulled from each of the first 4. Not much more to say, really.
4/5
Here’s how I rank Phase I:
The Incredible Hulk (I liked how it was more of a monster-movie. Felt different from your usual super-hero movie
Captain America: The First Avenger (liked the WWII setting)
The Avengers
Iron Man 2
Thor (felt too much like a prologue to TA)
Iron Man (Tony Stark’s too cocky for me in this)
The Patriot (2000)
Have seen long parts of this before, but this is my first true viewing.
All the actors do really well. Really, really liked Jason Isaacs (aka Lucious Malfoy) as Tavington. I know some people don’t like historical movies that really aren’t all that historical, but I don’t mind. Also really, really liked John Williams’ score, (I’m a big fan of his) and the swamp base set piece. The final battle makes the whole movie worth it. Wish we had seen more of that. Those goods being said, the movie was a little slow in some places.
4/5
Project Nim (2011)
A documentary about a chimpanzee that was taught sign language. The more satisfying plot is what becomes of Nim after he reaches adulthood.
4/5
Flyboys (2006)
My second viewing. The ariel combat action scenes are excellent, including a wide-range of missions: one-on-one dogfights, an attack on a zeppelin, a bombing run, and a couple others. The drama scenes in the middle of the battles aren’t as interesting, and James Franco’s character Rawlings seems to be a Mary Stu. I would’ve preferred the rest of the squadron to be more fleshed out, but we got to know each of them. My big problem with the movie is it’s drama scene to battle scene to drama scene to battle scene, and that gets repetitive. Not sure how that could’ve been spiced up because that’s how these kinds of movies tend to be. Overall though, I liked this movie and recommend it if you’re into war movies.

Dunkirk in IMAX
The most exhilarating time I've ever had in a movie theater. I lament the fact that once this film is out of theaters you will never be able to replicate how you felt in the theater when you watch it at home on blu-ray. It felt like a totally immersive VR experience, you could feel every percussion in your chest, the seat vibrated as if you were in the airplanes. I've never seen anything like that... and it wasn't even in 3D! Nolan has many great qualities, but he nails the last 5-10 minutes of a film better than any director I've ever seen. The Prestige, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Inception, and now Dunkirk all have stunner finales that give you goosebumps or blow your mind.
4.5/5

Spider-Man: Homecoming in 3D. This was actually pretty good, probably the best Spidey movie since Spider-Man 2, and one of the better MCU movies. This despite the unwanted, obvious, and oppressive SJW idiocy coursing through it. I didn't like Holland in Captain America: Civil War, but he's really good in this. A much more comedic Spidey was the way to go. I liked Maguire and Garfield (and still think the '02 film is the best of the post-2000 crop of superhero movies), but in retrospect, they were a tad too mopey. Holland strikes a good balance. It's sad that some crackpots are actively rooting for this Spidey to be killed off soon to make way for the SJW experiment known as "miles morales." One thing I didn't like about this movie is the fact that the suit was made by Stark. Spidey's suit should be nothing but a body sock, but this is like a fabric Iron Man suit. That fact is a big factor in the plot throughout, and it just didn't feel right.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
I did not like it.
