thats how ninjutsu is in real life though, you take out the opponent as fast as possible using the most efficient means so you can continue cover which is the goal of a ninja. That's why the action sequences seemed abrupt but, swift strikes to prevent a disadvantage.

there are a lot of movies that show realistic martial arts fighting without looking so stiff

but the tim burton batman was like that too, guess its just hard for the actors to move around in the heavy suits

interested to see how batman v superman will look 
 
"Whiplash":

Miles Teller was humorous and sarcastic in "That Awkward Moment," a guilty pleasure of mine. Anyway, instead of providing a rating, I'll highlight elements of the film I identified with.

J.K. Simmons played the villain well. But was he really a villain, or just a perfectionist pushing his students/performers for more? Obviously lying about the suicide is immoral and void of all culpability.

From Andrew's (Teller) perspective, I identified with many elements. First, his family not understanding his passion (dinner table scene). Not showing respect for music, as opposed to say, football or politics. Secondly, sacrificing his relationship to pursue and devote himself to his musical dream. Which he seems to ultimately regret when things go all wrong. Lastly and most importantly, human drive and spirit. Pushing yourself beyond any measure, paying a costly price, rising up.

Whether you're self-motivated or influenced more by others, "Whiplash" explores the premise of extracting more blood from the stone. Does it work? Is it right?

Why don't you send me that copy of Whiplash and I will put $10 in your paypal, and send it back when finished. 

We aren't getting it in Oklahoma.
 
"Unbroken":

First thing I identified with in the film was brotherhood. Pete saved Louis' life in a way with track. Every human being needs someone else that believes in them, motivates them, pushes them to be better. I've long appreciated the relationship between brothers that is explored in movies. "Slumdog Millionaire" being a prime example for me personally.

Secondly, young Louis feeling like he's worthless. "I'm nothing," he says. Some of us are more lost than others enduring a longer soul-searching process. For the lucky ones, there's a moment of self-actualization through sport, art, etc. Whatever you niche in the world may be.

Leadership and keeping your wits about you. I believe in the "no rattle" philosophy. Whether you're swamped at work with creeping deadlines or stranded at sea for over a month, the same basic concept applies. Stay as positive as the situation allows, stay calm and keep your head, don't give in to the circumstances.

Sacrifice. Whether it's rations of chocolate and water. Or sparing a hurting comrade additional pain. Picking up the slack of others. If you can't take it, I will.

Refusal to quit. Louis was broken physically, but would not give up or give in mentally to "The Bird." Despite constant prodding and digs from Watanabe.

You're probably right.
 
"The Judge":

Identify with the disparity in generational thinking. Stubborn parents set in their ways, for better or worse. Sometimes it's better to let it play out with a hands-off approach. RDJ ultimately had to concede this. Robert Duvall had his own concept of duty and honor. Stringent belief in the law and respect to the court.

Every man can relate to the father-son relationship. Tough love. I was an underachiever in high school and my pops toughened me up mentally to be successful. No free rides or pats on the back. Fulfill your responsibilities. Do it right, do it well. Don't expect praise.

Doing the right thing vs. the easy thing. Throughout daily life, you can often take the easy road in relation to the consequences of your actions. How many people have the guts to accept full responsibility all the time, and is it worth it?
 
finally got my family and family friends that were over christmas weekend to see my favourite movie, Children of Men. Didn't realise that Charlie Hunnam was in it after all these years. the Dreads masked his usual Sons of Anarchy swag.

Saw Gone Girl a while back. holy cow:x I think its my movie of the year. like 10 mins in and the detective was going through Amy's office and I just thought crap this movie is dope in like a euphoria. adding in that I kept thinking throughout the movie who was I cheering for made was extra dopeness. The ending was excellent because it was the worst possible ending! OMG:x
 
I saw my most anticipated movie of the year this past weekend. Foxcatcher.

In all honesty, I don't know what to say about the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I could definitely understand someone who would say they didn't enjoy it. I went with my girlfriend (as per usual :lol:), she said she didn't like it and it was confusing. It's sort of a weird comparison, but I think some of you would understand. If movies are alcohol, this movie would be something like an 18 year whiskey. It's a movie for a more "refined" palate. And I would say a movie like Guardians of the Galaxy would be something like a very regular vodka. It's the type of movie casual movie goer would love it. Just as a casual drinker typically would go for a mixed drink with vodka.

Anyway, I loved the hard cuts in the movie. I loved the acting. The whole ambiance of the movie was extremely unsettling.. in the best way possible way. Channing Tatum was really great and so was Steve Carrell. I was very surprised in just how good both of them were. I was actually expecting the violence in the movie to be a little more amplified just based on Capote but if the real life story doesn't fit it I understand.

I would definitely recommend going to see the movie without any knowledge of the story if you can. It makes the end of the movie a little bit more satisfying.
 
5 days into the 2015 100 movie challenge and ive gone through 11 movies

was able to watch 5 on the way back from china

arthur christmas 6/8

chef 7.3/8

skeleton twins 6.6/8

this is where i leave you 6.1/8

TMNT 3.5/8
 
Watch Metro Manila and it was worth watching. However, the movie is well to similar to other foreign movie. The struggle, the decision, the outcome.

The sad truth is that their situation was not the exemption but rather somewhat of the norm. The decision good people have to make to be able to survive or provide for their family.

Thanks for the recommendation. Wait till tomorrow to pick another movie.

People aren't used to seeing him with long hair. When he said his line to Queen Gorgo about her not enjoying him clapping her cheeks I was like damn. Dude is a scumbag.

There were a lot of stuff like this... Rust making his menagerie of beer-can men.

1000


Which strangely looked like the creepy pic of Dora Lange in her mother's house.

1000


Which also looked like the scene laid out by Audrey's dolls (Marty's daughter).

1000



Also the painting on the wall at Marty's house in this scene...

1000


Matched the mural at the psych ward.

1000


A lot of people were hugely disappointed these didn't factor into everything but I loved it even if it didn't end up adding up to anything...

I thought the cans were from everything that man had in his head like the scene from the video ... The dolls on the floor however had me ... I was wondering where she got that from. In honesty I didn't pay no mind to the other things .. Didn't even notice them.

I actually thought why Russ was taking it easy when he saw the killer the first time .. Usually dude has more question and is trying to interrogate them. Kind of knew that dude was shady ...

Oh and I knew that Russ was going to **** the wife eventually.
