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
TIWILY was that good?

And TMNT is that bad?

What say ye, congress?
i would say its about average, i might have rated it a bit higher since it was my 4th movie in a row so i was pretty tired by then

i enjoyed it

TMNT needed to focus on the turtles more, any movie with megan fox as the main character is probably going to score a 4/8 or lower

O you really was going to do 100 movies. Nice, I also feel I will watch 100 this year
i feel like i watched at least 100 last year so i figure that it would be cool to keep track of all the movies i watch this year 
 
Finally got to Foxcatcher over the weekend. 7.6/8. Tatum and Carrel were the goods; Ruffalo did great as expected. This movie was really, really good. I dont think it'll jump Birdman for my favorite of the year*, but it's certainly on my short list. I can see why Venom was so hyped about this when he was posting earlier this year. This was master story telling at it's finest. And I'm not a wrestler or have seen much outside of a few friends' matches in high school, but I'm assuming the wrestling in the film was done very well and as close to reality as possible. Great stuff by Tatum and Ruffalo.

*Havent seen Whiplash or A Most Violent Year yet, among others.

Speaking of Mark Ruffalo, **** 'Now You See Me.' Stupid *** movie.
 
The Drop

A typical slow burning drama that builds to climax quite nicely. Plus I'm a sucker for Tom Hardy. Characters are interesting enough and acting is top notch.

Strong 6.5/8

@sea manup  3.5/8 is kinda generous for TMNT, personally had it at 2/8.... and I actually sort of enjoyed/appreciated it

agreed on there needing to be more focus on the turtles however
 
Whiplash:

Amazing movie. Loved every second of it, right now my favorite of the year (haven't seen Birdman yet). Miles Teller blew me away, J.K Simmons was phenomenal. I'm not as big on Teller as a few people on here are, but this movie definitely showed that he has a bright future if he picks good roles. Just a story about a man chasing his dream coming to head with someone who pushes him to the brink of insanity. Very well done, definitely recommend you guys watch it for mainly two stellar performances.

glad you enjoyed it

and yes - Now You See Me was pretty awful. I'm a magic nerd so this was a major disappointment. Sequel is coming out
 
Did they go too far in Whiplash?
They teetered the line without a doubt. Holy **** and ****.

we need more people like that imo (talking about jk simmons character)

in order to be an all time great at everything you have to go "too far"
 
So is anyone talking about Metro Manila? Or ya said **** that? LoL

Anyways, more recommendations for the next movie.

I agree man. I mean everybody who is like his character no matter what line of work goes too far at some point, myself included. We all have to be reeled back in. But honestly, these kids today are so self righteous and deserving and its because there are not enough people like him. I know feathers will be ruffled with my view here but, when you can't spank your kid, to me that's not evolution, at all.

Anyway, The World does need more of that, not sure if you were serious, but I sure AF am.

i already had really low expectations for the movie so i wasnt too disappointed after watching it

for me 3-4 range is a movie where there are a few moments that make me laugh or are cool moments, 1-2 range is when im

and the thing is, its not like dude is out there trying to push everyone to the limits. its only if you have the potential to be great, then he will bring that greatness out of you. having someone push you like that isnt for everyone, but its vital for the rare people who can handle all of it and come out a legend 
 
For me I don't care ... Anything but a documentary unless is really interesting.

I watch Metro as someone suggested it for the weekly movie ...
