Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit was actually a really fun/entertaining little film.

 

Really liked The Wolf of Wall Street, but I'm left with the same feeling I had after American Hustle. That it was perhaps 20-30 minutes too long, and I would have preferred watching Margot Robbie another 20+ minutes over Jonah Hill or another drug abuse scene. If you watch The Great Gatsby together with this one, he's almost playing the same exact character, just from a different era.

 

Or Matthew McConaughey "mentoring" him more in the beginning, that would have a better addition, as well.

Speaking of Jonah Hill and the Wolf of Wall Street, not only did Jonah demand that he have to audition for a part in the movie, but he accepted "the lowest possible pay" he could for the movie. He made something like $60K for this movie!

Hill said if he is making great movies, he is fine just being able to pay rent and have a family.

 

 

I read some things that referenced the fact that Scorsese is Hill's all time favorite Director. He said that Goodfellas is his all time favorite film and he'd basically do anything for Marty.

Went to the movies yesterday for the first time in a year and a half, saw American Hustle. Entertaining movie, Jennifer Lawrence is just so awesome.

This is the End was hilarious

I loved it. The wife hated it.

So this weekend AMC was playing the Godfather movies a bunch of times. I ended up watching about an hour of the 1st and 2nd movies as I was doing some things around the house. This morning I found this:

Pretty cool then and now of the 1st Godfather shooting locations.

Has anyone seen Dallas Buyers Club? It was phenomenal. McConaughey was great and it's no wonder that Jared Leto is going to win Best Supporting Actor. Just really good stuff.

It might be Michael Bay (bad), it might have Megan Fox as April O'Neil (worse), but it does have Will Arnett (bonus) and these wicked character designs.

William Fichter as Shredder is an interesting choice, but I like that guy. Even in his short opening scene of the Dark Knight, he killed it

Michael Bay would actually be an upgrade at director in this case as Jonathan Liebesman has basically only directed horrendous movies. There is no way that movie isn't really bad.

It's gonna be awful. Michael Bay is terrible. Shredder is a white guy for crying out loud.

You are forgetting the best part, in that Thad Castle and Mickey Milkovich are going to be turtles.

This should absolutely not be played while at work or in the company of anyone who isn't ready to attend an R-Rated movie.

That looked pretty awful.

That pretty awful looking film with easily be one of the top 5 comedies of the year.

It looks about 0%

 

Looks like a drunk netflix movie.

Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Alfred cast in upcoming Superman/Batman movie.

Is Lone Survivor appropriate for a 10 & 12 year old boy? Not really worried about language - more concerned about graphic violence that might lead to nightmares.

It's not very gore IMHO.

I'm sorry, 12 years a slave is so incredibly cliche to me. It had some good acting, but a very predictable arc.

Some assistant must have read the "Cast Heisenberg" email wrong.

 

But really, seems like an odd choice. He's a good actor though so I bet it works out

If it wasn't Snyder directing maybe. That movie seems like it is going to be an absolute clusterf*** with how many characters they are introducing and Snyder isn't talented enough to pull that off.

Took the words out of my mouth. I wasn't a fan of MOS anyway but this one is starting to resemble DareDevil.

I'm not a Superman fan, but I would think that Jeremy Irons would play a much better Lex Luthor, right?

A lot of these parts in Superman/Batman could be small parts. Setting up for bigger parts down the road.
