PFA Movie Critique/Recommendation Thread

[Hockey Guy]

Just watched Captain Phillips. Not bad but hard to believe it's up for best picture. I give it 3*.

Also watched Flight with Denzel Washington. Pretty predictable & tedious after the crash scene. I give 2.5*.

Captain Phillips- Solid movie, good acting all around. None of it is really Oscar worthy IMO, but definitely worth seeing. Can't really talk about it without giving too much away, obv everyone knows what it's about, so...

3 stars.

All Is Lost- Very solid movie. Robert Redford was good as always, but again, not a movie or performance that's worth an Oscar IMO. I think anyone can appreciate the subject matter and the desperation depicted in this film whether or not you are into boating or have ever been on a sail boat. However, I do think it adds a bit more to it if you are familiar with maritime subject matter and the difficulties/survival skills you may face if you end up in a predicament such as what this movie presents. Either way I think most people will enjoy this, even though it can be extremely depressing. The only complaint I would have about it was that it drug on just a little. Either way...

3 1/2 stars.

Wife and I watched Drive based on the PFA recommendation.

For us this movie rated one old jewish penis on the 5 black cock scale. Just didn't work at all. It was a half hour short stretched into an hour and a half timeslot.

ill be cross posting this in the super moist thread too, obv

[DABADASS]

Overrated: wolf of wall street, American hustle, gravity, captain Phillips

Properly rated: Dallas buyers club, 12 years a slave

Underrated: rush, before midnight, about time, fruitvale station, blue jasmine

Good documentaries: blackfish, the Armstrong lie

Best movie of the year: Nebraska

[DABADASS]

Also thought Her had the potential for something mind-blowing. But it came up just short.

Saving mr banks was entertaining although it deserved all the criticism it received.

Inside Llewyn Davis was the most overrated movie of the year. I love the Cohen brothers but this was a futile mess.

This is the end was the best comedy of the past 10 years.

Don Jon tried and failed -- but still entertaining.

The spectacular now is the type of movie that always gets me. I'm sure Weiss loved it.

Philomena -- how could I have forgotten this gem! Go see it now -- deserved more love from the academy.

Drinking Buddies - available on netflix - you'll either love it or hate it. I loved it. The dialogue was top notch.

Mandela -- meh. The trailer was the best part of the movie. Probably worth a watch if you see it on hbo.

I love the Cohen brothers

Philomena -- how could I have forgotten this gem! Go see it now -- deserved more love from the academy..

You called a movie a "gem" then used the words " deserved more love from the academy"

In short,

[sonatine]

can something be done about DABADASS before garrett starts to suspect hes not the dumbest motherfucker on the internet?

CTH is this true?

It seems that you at least married someone that you're compatible with.

sorry couldnt resist

So i have to tell you, I've stolen your quote here.
I tell everyone to see it,. "its like a novel"
I love it

The other thing I can't get past is the "score" as the kids call it.
Not so much the soundtrack, but the way he used the background noise to set the tone and quickly change the tones of each scene.
W/ Gosling in so many scenes w/out words, you needed that.

also, I'd say that was Ray Liotta's best performance since Good fellas, I loved that movie, haven't really been a big fan of his since.
(and glad he turned down the tony Soprano part) but this one, wow.
That scene where he is just watching Bradley Cooper, while talking to his boss is just eerie.

You see "Narc"? I wasn't really a Liotta fan until that.

I watched the first 20 minutes, wow, that looks good.

I had just watched "Killing them Softly", and Ryan Gosling's PIC in this movie, Ben Mendelsohn, was one of the criminals there.
So just watched "Animal Kingdom" where he is a criminal yet again,
This is set in Australia, based on a true story of a crime family that killed a couple of cops.
Great.

Alright, should have wrote this earlier. If you haven't had been able to see "The Way Way Back" with Sam Rockwell, Steve Carrell, Toni Collette, Rob Corddry, you should. Written by Jim Rash of The Descendants, and Community fame. Being a Sam Rockwell fan, I went to the theater to see this flick. Was the only one in the theater for the afternoon showing, perfect.

The story is about a broken home, awkward teenager heading to The Hamptons with an overbearing stepfather played by Steve Carrell in a 180 role. Coming of Age film. Also, any flick with Sam Rockwell is a must see in my book. Cmon, even Charlie Angels had its moments, right?

Check it out let me know what you think. Great flick to see with the honey or alone. Squeeze it in, you won't regret it. It is on DVD, also in most countries on Netflix streaming if you have Hola UNblocker installed.

Story checks out. "The Way Way Back" is an excellent flick. Rockwell is great.

"Dallas Buyers Club" was great. Matthew McConaughey killed it and Jared Leto played a very convincing transsexual.

Here's the article the movie was based on:
