What movies did you recently watch?

Not a movie but Neon Genesis Evangelion (The series)
10/10. People need to stop shitting on Shinji, he is a realistic character. His emotions and actions are very reasonable. The ending is still as trippy good as I remember it from bootlegged copies from earlier days.

Movies

End of Evangelion.
10/10.

I am still not sure whether or not this is supposed to replace the series ending or be an alternate time-line. I've read conflicting things.

Evangelion 1.11
6.5/10

This movie is basically a completely reanimated and voice acted version of the first quarter of the series. There's some very minor changes but I can not in good conscience consider this to be a true adaptation. It's too similar to the original. It's gorgeous and the storytelling is amazing but as a rebuild of the series, it doesn't add much.

Evangelion 2.22
10/10

Unlike the first movie in the Rebuild of Evangelion series, there's some major changes. There's new characters, there are characters that do things that other characters did previously. There plot furthers along on a much quicker pace and it ends almost where the ends despite there being two more movies to go before the tetralog that is Rebuild of Evangelion ends, ergo more story to tell.

 

The Hunger Games - 8/10

Other than the shaky camera in the beginning, I thoroughly enjoyed this film.

 

The Cabin in the Woods (2012) - 3.5/5 - A fun, genre-bending roller coaster ride!

 

The Hunger Games 9/10 - A bit cliché, predictable. But still nice, and exciting!

The Avengers. On a scale of 1-10... Infinity xD Just AWESOME! My nerdy side fangirled wayyy too much xD

 

Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express

Been in a comedy mood these last few nights and hadn't seen either of these movies in a few years. Both hold up really well, but Tropic Thunder is more quotable.

"I'm just like a little boy playing with his dick when he's nervous."

 

I would agree with that. Found a DVD rip of it finally the other night. Pretty cool movie.

 

The Expendables 2 (7/10) better than the first one easily, but overall it was an alright popcorn flick. Some great one liners and cameos

Total Recall (2012) (7/10) Visually fucking amazing, everything else not so much.

 

The Bourne Trilogy - 10/10 Flawless. Im surprised that they didnt rely on cliches like making the new girl his love interest just because one of them is a man and one of them is a woman lol. The ending gave me chills. Very well told story. Very well shot movies.

 

SLC Punk! 8/10

What I really enjoy about the movie is that it's character bits can be enjoyed just as much separately as much as they can be enjoyed in the context of the whole film.

 

The Raid: Redemption - 10/10

Fucking brutal movie. Definitely better watching it in Indonesian with English subtitles, than the English dubbed version. Also, Mad Dog is a fucking beast.

 

This!

The Jungle Book - 10/10. Pure nostalgia! It has been more than probably ten years since I last saw the movie. Loved it!

Tangled - 8/10. Yes, I've been in a Disney mood! Tangled is a nice movie. Solid story, great animation (although I prefer 2D) and a crazy bitch as the villain. Love the humor in this one as well. I seriously hope Disney keeps making these kind of movies.

 

High Fidelity - classic

 

Detention (2011) - 7/10

This...was a very strange watch. It was like if Scott Pilgrim and Super had a movie baby. It's not a great movie, it's actually kind of dumb, but it's also very aware of the fact that its dumb. The fact that it embraces it so well makes it kind of endearing. It also has a lot of culture parody in it, lots of 90s and hipster references that are entertaining. Give it a chance if you're bored and don't want to watch anything that makes you think too hard.

Edit: Gonna amend my rating to a 6. With time I haven't found any further appreciation for this movie.

 

Prometheus 7.5/10 I think...

 

Scott Pilgrim and Super were some of my favorites of the last year... I need to check out this movie

 

The Prestige 9/10
Run, Fatboy, Run 7.5/10

 

True Romance - 5/5 (1993) - You can't go wrong with a Tarantino script. Perfect film.

 

The Viral Factor

6/10

High production values for a Hong Kong actioner film. Unfortunately, 'The Viral Factor' is wrought with flaws all around and features an annoying, generic OST. Ultimately, the flick does absolutely nothing to help the A-listers and/or the upcoming rising stars cast in this film; a waste of time.

 

Detention - 6.5/10

This movie was fucked up, I don't even know how else to describe it. I did enjoy all the 90s references though, because I'm old enough to remember when all that shit was going on. That one scene depicting 1998 where people were wearing a lot of white and wearing visors upside down was disturbingly on point.

 

My five last movies:

The Love of Siam (2007) - 8/10
If Only (2004) - 8/10
The Duchess (2008) - 7/10
Awakenings (1990) - 8/10
Tokyo Sonata (2008) - 8/10
