cirmuell:

armadeo:

Guykhena:
You should try watching The Man From U.N.C.L.E your perspective might change.

Guykhena:
The Revenant .

DiCaprio is one hell of an actor,he put on an awesome performance,his dedication to the role was glaring.

dolphinheart:
Kk, was it you that mentioned the books " a song of ice and fire"?
Really enjoyed it, it did give more details about the series. The issue is that the stories had both taken different directions. But I like the direction the book took better.

Guykhena:
I applaud him,the sacrifices he made, even going out of his own comfort zone just to portray the character 'Glass'.

You recall the scene in which he ate a raw Bison meat ? DiCaprio actually did eat the raw meat(that might not mean much until you realise that Leonardo DiCaprio in real life is a VEGETARIAN ,so him doing that for the sake of being in character is just,,,,,,wow,the dude is amazing).
Oscar Bait right there .

dolphinheart:
Most spy films nowadays are generally unrealistic .
Maybe since non of them can come up with something near or better than the Bourne series.

Even the spy books I read sef are no where near.

cirmuell:
the animation Home? It's a nice one too.

"HOME" is so entertaining, one of the earliest movies I watched for dis year

Nicolas Cage actually ate the cockroach in a scene in Vampire's Kiss, it took three takes - yes, he ate 3 cockroaches...

The Man from U.N.C.L.E is certainly one of the most stylish films I've ever seen & also probably the most stylish [vanilla] film Guy Richie has ever directed, but it didn't really change the spy genre. Bearing in mind, I've actually watched the original tv series (I'm not that old,I just liked really old stuff, I used to live on TCM AND Cartoon Network when I was younger) .

Glad you clarified that out,cus I was actually wondering after reading "I've actually watched the original tv series" I was like woah how old are you Miss?

I think I really liked the film because I liked the actors and it does have potential. Although, I did find it odd that a Brit was playing an American, an American was playing a Russian, a Swede was playing a German and Hugh Grant playing Hugh Grant for 10 minutes. Plus, Armie Hammer will forever be a weird name, regardless of how many times I see or hear it.

boofydon:
Guy, nawa for you o. The release date is December 25 na. How did you see the movie already?

ummmmm,special viewing ..Merry Xmas

Guykhena:
Really? Ah,the length in which an actor would go. I think what really made DiCaprio stand out is that he went against his own morals,most Vegetarians are so strict to their diet,on no circumstance do they compromise,but Leo on the sake of being in character actually did.

Glad you clarified that out,cus I was actually wondering after reading "I've actually watched the original tv series" I was like woah how old are you Miss?

The chemistry dynamic b/w Henry and Hammer was great,fun to watch. Though I agree with you it was awkward watching the actors playing characters of different nationalities.
I enjoyed the movie,Henry Cavill was great,I never thought I would ever like him after the God awful 'Man Of Steel',but wow he really did impress me.

Merry Xmas

for me o! "Insurgent" is one hell of a boring movie, I just don't like it.

15 Hated movies of 2015
My list is coming soon

snrman:
13. Hitman: Agent 47
Why Critics Hated It: As if rebooting a
“franchise” critics didn’t like the first time wasn’t
bad enough (the 2007 original scored just 14%),
this second attempt at the classic video game
series still didn’t get it right, losing the essence
of the titular character amid brainless, over-the-
top action loaded with terrible CGI, bad acting
and hilariously blatant product placement.
This is exactly the reason why video game
movies never get good reviews, because whether
or not you’re a fan of the source material, they
treat the audience with sheer contempt. It
borders on incoherence and isn’t even satisfying
on a visceral level because all the gunplay and
big ‘splosions are haphazardly edited and soaked
in crappy visual effects.

I really enjoyed old black and white films, The Maltese Falcon being one my favourite films, along with Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (that wasn't B&W), I even got my sister into the latter film. That's where I first heard the word "mendacity". I'll stop now before I start waxing all poetic about musicals, Humphrey Bogart and Gene Kelly. I even watched some episodes of the original Mission Impossible...

Is it wrong, that I kept hoping he'd take his shirt off and leave it off for the whole duration of the film? Henry Cavill looks like a proper rugby man, he really does have the body of superman and can also pull the gentle giant trope when needed.

Dang,I guess that's one of the reason I probably disliked him ,he's got the perfect body likened to a greek god . MOS was nothing to write home about,but damn he did get the Superman physique right,no muscle pad in the suit,just sheer muscles.

After watching Ex Machina, I'd watch Alicia Vikander in anything, if I remember correctly I already did, she was in the disappointment that was seventh son (I can't remember the rest of the name).

Merry Christmas to you too and to you all.

UPDATE: Richard E. Grant, a British actor, who's a teetotaller (doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, plus he actually has a medical condition) basically played a drunk, Whitnall in Whitnall & I. He went all in and drank like a fish to get the experience. Although, the director did have a hand in that, but he still agreed.

armadeo:
Slept off during the movie. Was tired.

Will start them up later today.

Another binge fest coming up.
