    Another movie that I have loved like crazy was The Butler. We studied it in history and it is very historically accurate. As well as that it is based on a true story and well, it did such a good job of showing all the events, making us love the characters and also showing so much culture. Watch it!

    So The Fast and Furious: it was actually pretty good. I was expecting to be a bit baffled by watching this seeing as I know 0 about cars, but the action was interesting enough. I liked that they had a girl who was in driving the cars just as much as the guys - although many of the other girls featured seemed to be not in the best light although I guess there are girls like that around the world >.>

    Back on point though, a pretty decent movie. And I am always interested in why gangs work the way they do, which is almost like family.

    The End of The Tour is fantastic. Jason Segal delivers a career performance. See that and Love & Mercy.

    The new Steve Jobs movie looks absolutely fantastic!

    Speaking of Star Wars....here's all 6 movies playing at the same time.

    Why the hell would someone want to watch all 6 movies at the same time? Why not? So quick, watch it before Disney's lawyers take it down!

    Ever wondered what kind of movies your favorite director/actor/musician watched? Now you can find out!

    The Criterion Collection does the occasional article which features the top 10 (or more) movies of a certain notable person (well, movies that are featured within the Criterion Collection, at least).

    Such people include: Wes Anderson (Director of the Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, and the Royal Tenenbaums)

    Edgar Wright (Director of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World)

    Christopher Nolan (Director of the Dark Knight series, Interstellar, and Inception)

    Martin Scorcese (Director of the Wolf of Wallstreet, the Departed, and Goodfellas)

    James Franco (Most famous for the James Franco roast)

    Sonic Youth (Major innovator in the alternative rock scene)

    and Richard Ayoade (Moss from the IT Crowd. Also directed Submarine and the Double).

    Where else can you learn about a film maker's influences (other than anything you find off a quick google search)?

    Sorry if this doesn't fit in with the club/is considered spam. Just feel free to scream at me if you think it falls into one of those categories.

    I was given a little over a week to write, direct, act in, and edit a short film.

    I feel that it's been done a bit better than the last film I made (although that's not saying much), however it's still kind of mediocre. For example, the cinematography still needs quite a bit of work (and the limited amount of time we had to film really didn't help).

    Feedback is appreciated, and don't be afraid to be as nitpicky as possible.

    On a somewhat related note, it seems that my acting can best be described as "WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS?"

    Avengers 2: A decent movie actually. I was expecting it to be a lot worse because I thought it would be the kind of recycled plot points, but there were a lot more things. They finally put a bit more light on Black Widow and Hawkeye which I definitely wanted. We still have some rules being broken, for example some about Thor's hammer and also Hulk being able to control his abilities almost all the time, but oh well.

    It was funny at times. Some new characters who I don't especially like but I guess maybe in time?

    Action scenes were good, but the epic battle in the end felt like it was very overdone at time and had me rolling my eyes. And also, one of the new characters is a bit weird and he had me rolling my eyes as well. I mean, really >.>

    But I was impressed enough to be satisfied ^.^

    Fast and Furious 7 - A great movie. There were two scenes (the bus/cliff one and also the three buildings one) which were super cool. At times I did have to suspend my belief, especially when it came to the number of crashes that happened which suspiciously no one seemed to die in, and when certain people who had a whole load of injuries were suddenly back in action. But otherwise, loved it.

    The ending had a sort of tribute thing to Paul that fit right into the movie. I really admire them for doing it and doing it so well. Overall, I am happy with the movie :)

    Apocalypse Now was interesting . . .

    It was beautiful and the sound/performances were amazing but it was just so HELLISH! I couldn't take it. I bet if I was a lot manlier and heartless I'd like it more, but it was pretty cool nonetheless.

    The new Cinderella movie - I liked it, but it was sort of boring or pointless in some way? I found that they did a great job with the casting, costumes and everything like that. But I wanted something more than a story I already knew. I think maybe they should've done the Maleficent effect and shown it from a different characters point of view.

    The latest Godzilla - dead boring >.> I can't believe I sat through and watched the whole thing. The beginning was a bit sad, but other than that I was underwhelmed. I am going to try the older version instead ;)

    birk replied · Apr 11, 2015

    By older version, do you mean the original 1954 version, or the 1998 one? Cause the 98 one is horrible.

    I loved last year's Godzilla though. Got everything I wanted with it. Can't believe you found it boring. O.o


    Deanie replied · Apr 11, 2015

    Well, by older one I /now/ mean the 1954 version if the 98 one was terrible :)

    Cinderella Man?
