Logan - Good movie, Hugh Hackman's best as the Wolverine. I don't really get the extra high praise though.
Split - A M. NIght Shyamalan movie that didn't suck balls :weee:

Spy Game - Enjoyable movie.

Safe House - I didn't like it, quite meh and predictable.

Pulp Fiction - I really liked it.

Fences - Great performances, enjoyable, but found it overrated.

The Replacements - Horrible.

Lion - Decent. Considering it's a true story I guess it's fine to watch.

Legends of the Fall
- Great, I really liked it. Nostalgic movie.

Highlander - Horrible.

Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles - Really bad.

The LEGO Batman Movie - Really bad.

Hidden Figures - Very good, enjoyed it a lot.

Resurrecting the Champ - Decent, enjoyable to watch.

Donnie Brasco - Nice. It has ups and dows but overall worth watching.

Raging Bull - De Niro was great but I found the movie quite overrated.

The Untouchables - Decent, nothing special.

Alien, Aliens - :tup: great.

Big Trouble in Little China - I liked it.

Geronimo: An American Legend - It was fine but the ending was horrible.
I thought you got employed :D

No. He is the Wolverine. He was by far the best choice for that role and there's no way there will ever be anyone as suitable for it as him imo.

:D I watched that in a period of like 2-3 months which is not much by my standards, haha.

And no, I'm jobless again. I quit long time ago cause I was constantly paying for losses and theft in our store, each month they took a big share from my salary cause... why not.

speaking about Batman, is there any hope left Nolan could continue the Dark Knight trilogy with a Robin / New Batman spinoff with Joseph Gordon Lewitt?
I don't think he's gonna get invovled with it again.

I'm not sure why Matt Reeves (dunno if it's official) is directing the new movie, though, while I still think Ben Affleck can be a good Batman.

maybe Affleck can, but with the material he's working with I don't think he will be, the Batman vs Superman movie was lame, it didn't matter much if Ben Affleck or Christian Bale or Owen Wilson was the Batman, because the movie was bad anyway

I was pretty excited when Ben Affleck was poised to direct the standalone movie. Now I'm just bummed.

To be fair to Affleck. He's a pretty good director and while the temptation to take over Batman is there, I think he realizes what helming a major superhero franchise would do to his opportunities to direct other stuff.

Well, people change. Opinions change. I used to dislike The Matrix, but I watched it as a kid. I decided to give it another go last night, so I watched it again (I'm talking about part I). Okay, so I think this movie is brilliant. I missed way too much, or actually, I missed pretty much everything 10 years ago. It's filled with symbolism. But not just that, I think it was subtle and it gets you thinking throughout the whole movie. There's a whole lot of philosophy in there. First off, I think the whole world behind Morpheus (God of dreams) was neat, while Trinity (the trinity) has a unique role when it comes to the revival, new hope, etc. It's also the dialogs, there were way too many that were deep which covered the hardest subjects like truth, dreams, the creator, and pretty much everything else being carried by the one. The beginning it self reminded me of Josef K, Kafka's work, where he's being chased by the unknown for the arrest for something he's not aware of, so it has quite the extensionalism covered in it. Cast was also quite decent, special effects good (great enough in that period when it came it out), so overall a really great sci-fi, which gives a whole lot while being re-watchable. I wish there were more movies like this one, which aren't just an action-show being thrown left and right without any purpouse but entertain the average Joe.
