Watched Sicrio last night. Had it's up and down pace but the story was interesting enough to get over Emily Blunts horrible acting in this pic. Felt like Black Mass kinda feel. Worth watching on DVD, maybe at movie if you're board and want to still go to a movie. Couple of dark scenes with Del Toro.
Going to see Crimson Peak tonight. Hey the wife is board....:dunno:
Crimson Peak.......soooo..........soooooo..........sooooo. ........longgggggg
Damn felt like watching a LofTR movies...
Good story felt like something form Edgar Allen Poe.
Never heard Sicrio :dunno:
So what are you trying to say here? Your wife has no chest or what? :confused: :hmm:Quote:

The last movie I saw was Inside Out.
Nothing that looks worth paying $10 per person to see is out right now.
I was going to see Spectre, but after Daniel Craig's recent whiny fest about being Bond, I'll wait on that one too.
I don't understand why actors who would've remained a nobody if not for being in a cash cow franchise that made them millions, suddenly feel the need to whine about said franchise, as if their impeccable acting skills are somehow now being held back.

FFS, I can't believe all the ranting on Daniel Craig.
The Bond series is arguably the best produced series of all-time. And Daniel Craig has done nothing but elevate that status. These are some of the best action films to date. The latest Mission Impossible is the only flick to come close that I can think of off the top of my head.

I thought Casino Royale and Skyfall were both great.
Quantum of Solace did suck though.
I was just commenting that I don't understand why when the Bond movies have made Craig an international superstar, he feels the need to disparage it when he would be an unknown without the franchise.

Perhaps a definition of what you expect Bond to be would promote an argument in your favor? So define that first, if you could.Quote:

Skyfall was a very good Bond movie. Not as good as Casino Royale, but still very good. I read about Craig's whiny fest. I'm not going to boycott a movie that I'll probably like just because some actor does something stupid. Spectre looks like it's going to be very good.
Watched The Last Which Hunter (Vin Diesel) not too bad, not sure why it bomb at the theater, must be that time of yr where ppl are tired of going to the movies.
Spectre and The Hateful Eight are the only ones left this yr I'm looking forward too.
Next yr is Dead Pool.
Christian Bale complained about being Batman for the same reasons but the movies were still pretty damn good at the end of the day.Quote:

I dunno...either way I think the new Bond will be good. Some people like the darker modern Bond films and some dont. I personally like them but I still like the older movies as well.Quote:

It's funny how those same cry babies have no issues cashing those checks for those big roles. It may be that those movies demand a lot of time and effort and that's why they bitch about it.
It may be that they haven't hit rock bottom in their careers; Look at RDJ with Iron Man. If not for that role I don't think he would be as big as he is now. Johnny Depp - some of his roles I haven't liked but a great many of them he has knocked them out. The Black Mass movie - he showed he could be scary serious too instead of his quirky roles he normally plays.
I think it's because many of these big budget box office money draws offer a lesser degree of creativity, character development along with added stress for the actors and from a purely acting perspective, they don't like it. But of course they take on the roles for the huge purse and global exposure.Quote:
