shipps Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Couldnt they have taken a page from the book of Hellboy costume design to get the more realistic comic book driven look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Yep, fun, simple film, great visuals, some of the best in a Marvel flick. A few good laughs, Rudd, and Douglas were great, Lily was the major weak link. But that might be on the writers/directing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Trainwreck was outstanding. Amy Schumer is hilarious. The Colin Quinn character is great and Lebron steals the scenes that he's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSox05 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Ant-Man was fine. Pretty formulaic Marvel movie at this point. Had a few laughs, that you seen coming a mile away. Plot was bland. Â The action was fun and Paul Rudd was by far the best thing about the movie. Â Â Would have loved to have seen what Edgar Wright would have done with the movie. He obviously wanted to do something different with it and Marvel put the brakes on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movie...121-column.html  A Girl Walks Alone at Night...still don't know what to make of it, but it keeps your attention, that's for sure. Saw it on the plane from Chicago to HK.  Shot in black and white, it's the first Iranian skateboarding vampire female revenge flick/western, haha.

I expected Michael Douglas to phone it in on this performance but no, he really sold Hank Pym.  Michael Pena, TI and friends added some levity as well...I thought it was very good, definitely better than I expected going in.  It's a pretty unknown character except to hardcore comics followers...no cool suit or merchandising treasure trove, but it all worked.  As far as female heroines...the character could have easily been exchanged with Bryce Dallas Howard in Jurassic World. You don't want the girl to be too much like Gal Gadot in the F&F series or she'll distract too much from the lead. She's built to be a complementary piece in the background and undergo her cool foe to warm supporter metamorphosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It's pretty clear the dinosaurs were intentionally designed to be cartoonish looking which is odd given that the rest of the animation is gorgeous. I'm sure this will end up being good since Pixar hasn't had a real miss on an original film yet (although I didn't really care for Brave).

greg775 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Went to see Trainwreck today as I have a few days off. First of all, kudos to LeBron. Good job acting. Pretty funny. As far as the movie, I'll be honest probably at the 3/4 mark I was getting antsy, kind of wanting it to end. But it was pretty funny, made me snicker out loud a few times (not guffaw like the women in the audience who seemed to LOVE it), and certainly some of the lines were pretty damn creative/funny. I'd give Trainwreck a B. I feel dirty giving it a B- cause I feel the acting was good and there were some great lines for a movie. I wouldn't argue with anybody who gave it a low A-minus.
