2013 Movies

[dcmetal108]

Thought I'd start this thread.

Just saw Stand Up Guys today and it is great. Pacino and Walken are perfect together.

I'll end up giving it a good 8/10.

[ShatteredFlame]

So far I've seen Texas Chainsaw 3D (sucked), A Haunted House (meh), and Mama (surprisingly not bad at all).

I'm most looking forward to Evil Dead. Has anyone else seen the red band trailer? :drool:

Also S-VHS (sequel to V/H/S) has directors from Hobo With a Shotgun and The Raid: Redemption so I'm pretty pumped for it even if I thought the first was disappointing.

[BloodoftheKings]

I'm most looking forward to Evil Dead. Has anyone else seen the red band trailer? :drool:


That new Evil Dead trailer is sick but i'm remaining doubtful, I don't want to get hyped up only to be disappointed.

I haven't been to the movies yet this month but I want to see The Last Stand.

[mastodon421]

I saw The Last Stand on Friday. It was a fucking great B-action movie (one of the better ones to come in the past few years tbh.) Definitely a fitting comeback for Schwarzenegger.

I also saw Gangster Squad which was also a really good and entertaining action movie with an excellent cast.

[powerslave_85]

I'm looking forward to:

Iron Man 3
Thor 2
Pacific Rim
Kick Ass 2
Place Beyond the Pines
Star Treck: Into Darkness
The World's End
World War Z
Ender's Game
Sin City 2
Warm Bodies
Monsters University
Machete Kills
The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug
Anchorman 2
Jack Ryan

[dcmetal108]

Texas Chainsaw was decent. I think I liked it more since I am a die hard fan of the series. 3D sucked though.

Evil Dead I think will be great because they aren't holding back on anything for the movie.

I still really want to see Gangster Squad.

[dcmetal108]

Just saw Gangster Squad. It was fucking fantastic.

Anyone else see it?

[hinder5050]

i saw it though it was pretty good gave it a 8 out of 10 my only complaint is i wanted a bit more of ema stone

[Epidemic Reign]

Based on everything Evil Dead has going for it, it has no right to be anything less than amazing.

[adamclark52]

I'm a bit late but I saw Django Unchained tonight. I didn't really like it. The violence was gratuitus (sp) but got a little too over the top. And it seemed to me a few times like it didn't know what genre it wanted to be. It went from serious, to a comedy then back. I know with Tarentino that's part of his style. And I didn't like the integration of hip-hop in the soundtrack. It pretty much lost me in the dinner scene, where they were buying Broomheilda. I was ready for it to be over then.

I always feel like Tarentino is a closet racist with his liberal usage of the "N-word". Yeah, yeah, I know this movie was all about slavery. But I remember it being used a lot in the Bonnie Situation segment of Pulp Fiction and I thought the guy seemed to be enjoying using his artistic freedom a little too much.

Jamie Foxx was really good though. I can't believe that's the same guy who played Wanda on In Living Colour. He's done well.

[ravenheart]

Saw A Good Day To Die Hard on Friday.

Enjoyed it, and liked the fact that it's nothing like a typical Die Hard movie.

Fuck cinema prices though. I knew there was a reason I hadn't seen anything in the cinema since The Dark Knight Rises. £13 (~$20) each? I'll wait for DVDs.

[dcmetal108]

Saw Snitch the other day.

Actually really good drama with a serious message.

bloody hell m8
I thought $11 was bad here.

[Sinister_Chalupa666]

$10 here with $5 matinee.

I like going to Regal on Tuesday's since it's $6 all day :D

[SomewhereInTime72]

$14 here.

I don't see movies anymore.

[powerslave_85]

I haven't been to a movie in ages. The time between Christmas and Memorial Day is a wasteland. Though I have been contemplating checking out Oz the Great and Powerful.

[dcmetal108]

Oz was awesome.

21 and over was generic.

[hinder5050]

did anyone see this redband trailer for kickass 2 pretty badass

Yeah it looks awesome.

[DethMaiden]

Haven't seen any 2013 movies yet but in the coming weeks I'm checking out Stoker, Like Someone in Love, and, theaters willing, The Place Beyond the Pines. Pretty much the only pre-summer movies grabbing my attention.

[ravenheart]

Haven't seen any 2013 movies

What.

[DethMaiden]

What.

The post-Oscar, pre-summer slog has been especially awful this year I feel like. All reappropriated fairytales and sequels to sequels and fart comedies.

[dcmetal108]

Everyone go see Burt Wonderstone. Shits funny as hell.

[hinder5050]

Yeah it looks awesome.

Dude the trailer was better than i thought it coulbe be and for that i give them credit for

[ravenheart]

Yeah, but this is you we're talking about. You go and see everything anyway ;)

Although I guess you're not getting student ticket prices anymore?

[DethMaiden]

Although I guess you're not getting student ticket prices anymore?

Not very many places make a distinction. But tickets are pretty cheap here. Matinees are $5, and I rarely go to evening shows (those are 10).

[ravenheart]

So what you're saying is, you have no excuse ;)

Admittedly though most of what I've wanted to see in 2013 is stuff the US had at the tail end of 2012, like Django Unchained and Lincoln.

Only thing I've seen is Die Hard 5.

[XDoomsayerX]

This. 2013 seems like a whatever year for movies

:lol: I got my laugh reading this comment so I'm good.

[mastodon421]

I haven't seen anything in a month, Hopefully I can catch Spring Breakers and/or Olympus Has Fallen this weekend. The Last Stand and Gangster Squad are the only movies I've seen so far this year that I thoroughly enjoyed.

[Dextrimental]

Very little to take interest in alright. Cloud Atlas looks awesome but I've yet to finish the book so probably won't catch that in the cinema. Warm Bodies looked decent but I didn't get to see it. I seen The Hardy Bucks film and that sucked pretty hard. Wreck-It Ralph is so far the only stand out film I've seen this year.

[powerslave_85]

Yep, pretty stoked on the Kick-Ass 2 trailer. I don't think it'll be as good as the first one, because a.) Matt Vaughan isn't directing and b.) part of the charm of the first one was that it was fairly original as far as superhero movies go. I'm sure I'll nitpick it a lot, but frankly as long as Hit-Girl shoots a lot of people in the face, I'll enjoy it.

[dcmetal108]

:lol: I got my laugh reading this comment so I'm good.

Burt Wonderstone is one movie where its getting a lot of shit because if you don't like the other movies the stars make then you will hate this.

[ravenheart]

Makes sense. Stupidity isn't funny.

[ravenheart]

Ah yes, Gangster Squad, Warm Bodies and Cloud Atlas are on my list too. More cheap DVDs for the future :)

[dcmetal108]

Makes sense. Stupidity isn't funny.

And the British are wrong again. ;)

[XDoomsayerX]

Makes sense. Stupidity isn't funny.

Yup. I hate those comedies not funny one bit. Adam Sandler movies are perfect examples of stupid comedies :barf:

[hellawaits77ny]

S-VHS, Evil Dead are the only 2 that I know for sure will be released this year that I'm really looking forward to.

[mastodon421]

I saw Spring Breakers last night and I'm still trying to process it. Parts of it are brilliant, parts of it are god awful. There is no doubt in my mind that no film will get stronger reactions (good or bad) from audiences this year.

[kalfitegrdan]

I just saw the trailer for that today. I really want to see it. It looked absolutely ridiculous. :lol: Parts of it did look god awful though.

Check it out, it's interesting to say the least. I have to watch it again to form a firm opinion on it, but I'm giving it 3/5 atm.

The thing that's killing me though is the amount of backlash it's getting from mainstream audiences. It's a social commentary on how batshit crazy the party culture is in the United States right now (it really does a great job of capturing just how insane it is) and everyone is just saying it's a borderline porno with no plot. It's a lot to take in and the story is told in non-linear fashion with a lot of voiceovers and other abstract filmmaking techniques I can completely understand someone absolutely hating it (Like I said earlier, there were parts of it I hated.) Everyone is entitled to their opinion, just know what it's trying to accomplish before writing it off as a mindless piece of shit people.

It just doesn't look good to me. And with it coming out the same weekend as The Croods, Olympus Has Fallen, and whatever the one with Tina Fey/Paul Rudd is I don't see it doing amazing. Most people will write it off as a raunchy teen cash in movie.

(unless there is a part where we see selena gomez and Vanessa hugdens makeout)

It still blows my mind that those two Disney chicks are in it. :lol: I saw the poster and their names and assumed it was some feel-good Disney movie.

[dcmetal108]

I'm just shocked James Franco is in it. Dude seems to be in any movie that will offer him a role.

[Dextrimental]

Oz The Great and The Powerful is worth a watch, pretty good!

Olympus Has Fallen is meant to be pretty good from what I'm hearing, anyone got any opinions?

[powerslave_85]

Olympus Has Fallen is meant to be pretty good from what I'm hearing, anyone got any opinions?It was enjoyable for what it is: a brainless action flick that's literally Die Hard in the White House. I've seen worse. I wanted to see Spring Breakers, but it's only playing in one theater here for some reason and it's one of the shitty ones, so I'll wait to see if it comes to the good one next week. I was pissed because they're still showing that shitty Nicholas Sparks movie Safe Haven. Who the fuck went to see that in the first place, let alone a month and a half later?

I'm definitely going to see Jurassic Park 3D when it comes out. I don't like 3D, but I'll take any excuse to see Jurassic Park in a theater.

Im shocked you like a lot of movies, like everything including the baaad stuff. :eyes:

Still a cool nig though! :tongue:

[dcmetal108]

Yeah I like a lot of movies and a lot of shit stuff but Spring Breakers just isn't doing anything for me. Normally I'd be loving that type of movie or anything with James Franco or a large amount of hot women in it :lol:. I'll watch it when it comes out on dvd though.

Really? This is about the only movie all year that I think might actually drag me out to the theater. Warm Bodies was close, but I was too lazy.

[DethMaiden]

Stoker is pretty good. Kinda has that director-working-in-not-his-native-tongue thing but is very Parkian nonetheless, and a lot subtler than his Korean revenge stuff.

[Sinister_Chalupa666]

My body is ready for GI Joe: Retaliation

Also my girl got me an Evil Dead shirt for next week's midnight showing. MY BODY IS READY TO BE RAPED AND TORTURED :rocker::rocker:

[dcmetal108]

Olympus Has Fallen was really good. Good action packed movie but the concept was really cool.

[ravenheart]

Anyone else think Kick Ass 2 looks a bit shit?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc6tL8cd9KQ

[powerslave_85]

No, but it looks like the dialog is going to be closer to what it is in the comics, which is...not ideal.

[dcmetal108]

No, but it looks like the dialog is going to be closer to what it is in the comics, which is...not ideal.

Vulgar and raunchy?

They said they are sticking to the comics minus a few things which is good.

[masterguy49]

Anyone else think Kick Ass 2 looks a bit shit?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc6tL8cd9KQ

If it's like the comics, it will be mostly shit.

[DethMaiden]

Have finally been getting out to some stuff. Far and away the best thing I've seen is Spring Breakers.

[dcmetal108]

Just saw Spring Breakers.

I don't know if I enjoyed it or hated it yet.

[Natrlhi]

Anyone else think Kick Ass 2 looks a bit shit?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc6tL8cd9KQJudging by that particular trailer, sure - but check out the red band trailer on IMDB and see if you still think that.

[mastodon421]

Saw 42 and Trance over the weekend. Both great movies that broke my streak of seeing movies that were either shit or only pretty good.

[dcmetal108]

Going to see Through The Pines And Trees or whatever its called Wednesday. The new one with Ryan Gosling and Bradly Cooper made by the guy that did Drive.

[powerslave_85]

Actually, it's the director of Blue Valentine, not Drive.

I saw it today and loved it. I think most people will be put off by the length and the slow pace, though.

[mastodon421]

I've been wanting to see Place Beyond the Pines badly. Haven't seen any of Derek Cianfrance's previous work, but the trailer and cast are excellent.

[larvtard]

saw Place Beyond the Pines last night. Holy christ that was incredible. I think I'm gonna have to give Blue valentine a real chance now

[dcmetal108]

Going to see Place Beyond The Pines today, saw Scary Movie 5 today since that was all I could go see in the time between picking people up.

Holy fuck was it horrible, I mean like 0.5/10 bad. I gave a quick laugh once and that was all. No one in the theater (not even the 13 year olds) were really laughing at all even.

[BloodoftheKings]

None of the Scary Movies were good but those things just get worse and worse. The first one was about a 5/10 and with each movie it just gets worse. I'd say they've been under 1.0 since Epic Movie.

[dcmetal108]

Place Beyond The Pines was fucking fantastic.

[masterguy49]

Place Beyond The Pines was good, the 1st and 2nd 3rd of the movie was great (though the 2nd 3rd was a little cliche), the last 3rd was just way too predictable and wasn't nearly as good as the rest of the film. It was a solid film though.

I also saw Trance, which was really entertaining and solid.

[masterguy49]

It was quite brilliant really, so many people despised it and were disgusted by it, but that was the point. Korine did a great job commenting on our current society and it was beautiful to look at. Most people don't like watching movies that make them thing though, so whatever.

Stoker is pretty good. Kinda has that director-working-in-not-his-native-tongue thing but is very Parkian nonetheless, and a lot subtler than his Korean revenge stuff.

Yeah, I enjoyed it. It was way more subtle, which some may or may not like. Not as great as Oldboy or Thirst, though.

[powerslave_85]

Blue Valentine is also outstanding.

I thought the 3rd part was great but dragged a small bit sometimes. Didn't end like I expected though.

I'm with you on that, Korine brilliantly gets his point across about the excess of the party culture in the United States and he was 100% aware when he put Disney Channel starlets in the movie that was going to hook mainstream audiences and disgust a majority of them with the content of the movie. The more I think about it, the more I like it and I'm really intrigued to watch it again when it comes out on DVD and form a more solid opinion on it.

[masterguy49]

I don't know, it was too predictable and it felt forced at times. Still liked the movie regardless.

Yeah exactly, any film that provokes such great amount of thought is awesome in my books.

[hb420]

Going to see The Lords of Salem tonight! :party:

[dcmetal108]

Going to see The Lords of Salem tonight! :party:

I'm going Wed! I've heard mixed things but it looks amazing.

[hb420]

Going to see The Lords of Salem tonight! :party:

This sadly was a complete dud and did not live up to my level of expectations at all. Nowhere near how great the book was as well.

[John The Drummer]

I didn't even know that movie was out :lol:

[dcmetal108]

This sadly was a complete dud and did not live up to my level of expectations at all. Nowhere near how great the book was as well.

See I fucking loved it! Odds are it will be within my top three movies to come out this year.

[BloodoftheKings]

I don't think i'll bother with Lords of Salem. I can't enjoy Rob Zombie's movies at all, not even The Devil's Rejects.

[mastodon421]

I don't think i'll bother with Lords of Salem. I can't enjoy Rob Zombie's movies at all, not even The Devil's Rejects.
Yeah Devil's Rejects was the only one of his movies I even mildly enjoyed, House of 1000 Corpses is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'm heard nothing but terrible things about Lords of Salem so I'll be steering clear.

Meanwhile I saw Pain & Gain last night and it was actually really good. One of the most absurdly entertaining movies I've seen in the past few years. It's not at all the type of movie you would expect Michael Bay to make. It's very much story and character-driven movie that's extremely funny at times and features a trio of great performances from Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Mackie as the whacked-out, bodybuilding leads as well as solid turns from the supporting cast including Tony Shaloub, Ed Harris and Rebel Wilson. A great piece of satire about achieving the American dream under any means necessary.

[ShatteredFlame]

A DVDRip of Lords of Salem is already out online.

The Maniac remake is also finally out and I've heard great things about that one.

[hb420]

The Maniac remake is also finally out and I've heard great things about that one.

:party:
Just saw this today, fucking great movie. Elijah Wood's performance is outstanding.

[masterguy49]

Saw Upstream Color, it was beautiful and definitely my favorite movie of the year so far.

[dcmetal108]

Pain and Gain was actually extremely entertaining.

[dcmetal108]

Just saw The Big Wedding. Had time to kill and went and saw it not knowing who was in it or what it was about and I have to say it was fucking hysterical.

[kalfitegrdan]

Finally saw my first new movie of 2013 yesterday. :lol: Gangster Squad. It was pretty damn good. Nothing too special though. Emma Stone though...:lovedup:

[XDoomsayerX]

Ironman 3 was bleh.

[OraclesofAgony]

I saw The Great Gatsby earlier today. It was alright. Probably wouldn't watch it again but it's a good movie to see in the theater. I was skeptical when I saw the reviews but since the average was in the mixed range I was willing to give it a shot.
