Fury Road is looking more in line with road warrior than the other two films going by the trailers
That's what I'm hearing. Fury Road looks like complete insanity. I can't wait!

I liked Batman Begins and The Prestige and I sort of want to like this just for the fact of it being an original IP and a big budget work of science fiction, considering how rare both of those things are in modern Hollywood, but man, Interstellar was pretty bad in most of the ways that count. The fact that Nolan has been so repeatedly successful with this kind of stuff makes me fairly sure that he's falling into the trap of becoming too big for anyone close to him to really properly criticize or say no to, so good luck on ever getting another Memento out of that secret janitor stand-in again.
The Warriors. Now this is a movie. Definitely Walter Hill's best, and one of the best movies in the genre. Never a dull moment, intense, shocking, fantastic cinematography, great "faces", atmosphere, soundtrack. The sense of time and space is perfect, the execution is flawless. A true classic, 9.5/10
"Warriors come out play-ay". Glad that you dug it as it is one of my favs. I love the neon cinematography and costume design. The whole Greek mythology it is based on set in 70s New York really fits well into the journey through the night.
Not that shiny of a package.
The movie is pretty ugly looking at times, especially if you compare it to other Disney animation recent 3d movies (Tangled, Ralph, BigHero6).
Frozen: this movie felt weird, didn't enjoy it at all. Story is incredibly poor, even by Disney standards, there are serious pacing and editing issues, characters are laughably poor, songs are godawful compared to other movies in the same category, it's pure nothingness wrapped into a shiny package. Yeah, I guess it looks good, but it's so obviously a movie made solely to cater to the modern teenage audience: terrible, 3/10
Wreck It Ralph is the only one worth watching out of those.have yet to watch any of those. Are they worthy? They seem a bit uninteresting

All these CG animated movies are not great if we're getting down to it (Pixar post-Wall E; like even Up is only interesting for the first few minutes), so just go watch Princess Kaguya. Or The Wind Rises. Or a frickin' DC animated movie like Justice League War if you just want a good action movie. Or Coraline and Paranorman.
Over Tangled? Pls.Wreck It Ralph is the only one worth watching out of those.
World Of Tomorrow (Don Hertzfeldt)
This is for all the existential sci fi fans out there. A pretty great piece about appreciating the now. It's a bit depressing but has touches of dark comedy. Clones, consciousnesses, and coping with loss. If you liked Black Mirror, this cautionary tale will be right up your alley.

It's a three-and-a-half hour long movie chopped down by an hour.Age of Ultron I noticed that some scenes from the trailers didn't make it into the final film. I wonder why, maybe me wasn't paying attention?
Overall, disappointed. The first Avenger film was better, and I'm not even a fan of that one (I liked it at first, but it got worse on repeated viewing).
P.S. I feel like there are some problems with the film editing. I can't point out why, so I won't criticize the film for that.
World of Tomorrow looks phenomenal, gonna catch that.everybody watch World of Tomorrow. it's great great great. think I'll get a third viewing in before my rental expires.
the HTTYD art is decent. Tangled and Brave were good in that department too.
overall 3D CG animation ring cold and uncanny though. I didn't hate Frozen but that is an ugly movie.

Snowman replying to Icarus. What year is this?
glad to see you back
this was really interesting. The "joke" got kinda tiring and repetitive right away so I didn't find it funny throughout, but the way the motion and the order of the lines are backwards while the actual spoken words are forwards forces active viewing and makes this like watching two movies at once. as I watched I was trying to reconstruct the "forwards" version and trying to comprehend the new meaning created by reversing. Fun experiment.Guys! If you have an hour to spare I highly recommend this 1967 czech comedy, Happy End. The entire film is presented backwards but in a very clever way, seriously one of the most original thing I've seen. Very funny and charming.
I just saw Ghost in the Shell (1995) and wow wow wow. It might not appeal to everyone because of its heavy handed bouts of philosophy... but i enjoyed the hell out of it. the lead voice was weird, so i could not tell if it was on purpose or if she was terrible, but i enjoyed it nonetheless.
this movie was crazy, from the music, to the atmospheric shots... this is a masterpiece, and i don't even like most anime.
Been wanting to get into Kurosawa's samurai work for a while, but I found myself quite bored with Yojimbo, so I shelved his stuff for a bit]
How were you bored by Yojimbo?? It's like his most non-stop entertaining, accessible film.
