Mmmmm Daddario You're watching for the "sensuous curves" or acting skills? I guess she wasn't (by a long stretch) the worst element of the Percy Jackson films. As long as you're not a Taylor Kitsch fan. Or Rihanna the thespian. Edited May 29, 2015 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 QUOTE (Brian @ May 28, 2015 -> 07:23 PM) Looks like another dud for Cameron Crowe. "ALOHA" getting 11% on RT. Think Almost Famous is the only film of his I really liked. Say Anything was fine and Jerry McGuire is highly overrated. Singles was pretty good with a great soundtrack. Obviously his best work was as the writer for Fast Times at Ridgemont High Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 QUOTE (Brian @ May 29, 2015 -> 03:05 PM) Deep Impact is so cheesy. More dramatic than over the top action. Tea Leoni is just so hard to watch act...that movie has too many contrived personal narratives that attempt to make you care about their imminent doom (like the beach scene with her father) which lead to just get on with the megadestruction, will you? Armaggedon has the Bayness about it...so that you can watch it over and over again. (Somehow it helps if you imagine Borat singing the national anthem of Kazakhstan in the background, America always shows up in the white hat to save the day...and there has to be a cool theme song, a hot girl, at least one scene with the whole gang walking in stride towards the camera with the concrete shimmering and flags unfurling and kissing wives or gfs goodbye.) Plus Con-Air has Vanessa Marcil in one of her few movie appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else, for sheer shock value to see how Emmy Rossum's changed so much from that point and Phantom of the Opera to current day. Plus you have helicopters with rotor blades freezing...rabid Russian dogs on container ships..and the scene where they have to let the father die (cutting the rope) when they break the glass while unknowingly walking on top of a NJ mall. And you can never root against Dennis Quaid. He's doggedly persistent in that one. The best one is in 2012 where the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy wipes out Danny Glover's White House.

whitesoxfan99 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The reviews for Inside Out are absolutely incredible so far and a lot of people have said it was easily the best film at Cannes. Looks like a return to form for Pixar. I'm excited for that movie coming out in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good timing...we've had a lot of "empty" movies recently without many redeeming qualities other than mindless entertainment. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/inside_out_2015/# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
