    Does the show eventually let off with "muh poor repressed puppy-eyed negroes"? I'm in the middle of ep.2, and they're laying it on thicker than anything else.

    I'm afraid you have to put up with the shallow negro. It's all good since Clive's dickish badass character carries the show.

    The Age of Adaline (2015)

    I've always been a sucker for good movies about death, love and life, .. the big things.
    The story is kind of the silly simple, boy-meets-girl stuff we all know, but it works. It's kind of the Benjamin Button of the 1900s, but still different (Benjamin does age and is not immortal in the which Adaline is).

    This movie is pretty good, it plays with the idea of immortality vs mortality, the passage of time and concepts of loneliness and despair but also strong love and companionship.
    If you ever had a great love slip through your fingers, this movie will hit home.

    Blake Lively is pretty convincing as a 105 year old woman with a psysique and beautiful looks of a 28 year old girl.
    Harrison Ford is great in this, and so is the guy playing him as a young guy (Anthony Ingruber), who looks and acts exactly like him.

    Maps to the Stars (2014)

    David Cronenberg is a lot of hit & miss. This one though is definitely a hit once you get to appreaciate the multi-layered characters wrapped into this David Lynch-esqe surreal account on Hollywood depravity. A story about incest, abuse, greed, secrecy and celebrity whining/depravity, all delivered in an outstanding script and a small but fine cast of actors. Mia Wasikowska for the first time demonstrates acting abilities, John Cusack is excellent as always and Robert Patterson can't act for shit. But that's alright 'cause he's only playing the asshole chauffeur.

    4.5/5

    A truly major work of cinema achieved within a small budget and ignored by retarded film "critics".

    Eh, he was just taking a page out of MI2, which was literally John Woo copying everything from his older movies (and I mean EVERYTHING - you could tell he was just reshooting on muscle memory) except made dumber.

    Knock Knock (2015)

    :2/5:

    One troll for the hot girls and boobs and the other for it not being a complete trash.

    Ok, the movie is mediocre at best. We have a loving husband and a father. The wife is an artist, he is an architect, upperclass and all that. One weekend the wife takes their kids to the beach for the weekend and the husband (Keanu Reeves) stays home to work on his designs.

    When he is working into the night, somebody knocks on his door. He answers and sees two hot girls that tell him that they are looking for some friend's party, and since they are apparently lost and its raining, Keanu invites them inside. Skip half an hour of flirtation, and Keanu bangs both of them in the marital bed after the initial "No no, I love my wife, I cant!".

    Next morning the girls all like "Last night was great, we will stay with you forever!". When Keanu wants to call the cops to take them away, they tell him they are underaged, and since he had sex with them, he is a pedo now, and gonna go to rape-jail if they tell!

    Later on, one of the girls knocks Keanu unconcious and the "torture" begins. All in all, they want him to suffer for the infidelity ect. There is some boring torture, some fighting, some other action scenes, they make a video of him fucking on of them that they post to his Facebook page at the end. They also trash his place, and treaten to kill him, which they dont do, laugh at him and leave him buried neck deep in his garden.

    I have no idea what was the moral lesson that one should take from this movie? That every guy will cheat given two hot chicks? That cheating is bad? Hell, it was Eli Roth's film so there was probably nothing deeper than a vagina in it.

    But the reediming factors of this movie are:

    4/5 cuz it was cool but a little bit too long and I don't like how he survived in the insane temperatures doing stupid shit like swimming in a frozen river for half a day every day.
    Also those guys keep eating raw meat when there's always a fire right there.

    Believe me, you wont be watching this thing for the plot anyway. Also, I though the pictures were a bit bigger and would be a problem with the layout.

    Lethal Weapon series are bad? LOL. Troll post.

    Only the 4th is kind of shitty, but 1-3 are solid buddy-cop movies with good acting, story and believeability.

    The Driver with Ryan O'Neill and Bruce Dern is IMO very underrated great cops'n'robbers film with very good driving/chase scenes in it. It's way too little known gem of the late 70s film making.

    I love to see the butthurt my Lethal Weapon reviews are getting.

    Until now, I haven't seen any reason to answer the tears, but in hindsight I would like to make one correction.

    The first Lethal Weapon film isn't trying to be a comedy, it's trying to be a somewhat serious action film - that's why I rated it so low, because I made the mistake of comparing it to the sequels (especially 3 and 4) which are clearly built up to be comedies. The second film is treading the line on whether it's a comedy or a serious action film.

    What I should have been doing is comparing the sequels to the original. The end result is that some trolls get moved around, resulting in a 3/3/0/1 spread on the ratings. A stupid mistake that I should have realized earlier, but there you go.

    I'd also like to point out the biggest reason why LW3 is by far the worst film in the series - the events of the second film. In LW2 Riggs and Murtaugh are facing crooked but highly-ranked diplomatic envoys of the South African government, and the only way they can take them down is by putting their badges away and going vigilante on them - Riggs and Murtaugh may be acting in the name of Justice and self-defence, but don't think for one moment that their actions wouldn't have serious repercussions for them. It is frankly impossible for them to walk away from all that unscathed. Captain Murphy may be lenient on them for various reasons, but don't think for one minute that Internal Affairs or even the State Department agrees with him.

    Which is why the third film is so stupid - it starts on exactly that premise, that they suffered no repercussions for murdering an entire diplomatic envoy of a foreign nation, yet they do suffer repercussions for tampering with a bomb that results in an entire building being levelled, and are busted down to patrolmen walking the beat. Want to fix LW3? Cut out the entire opening scene with the bomb and the cat. Have the film starting with Riggs and Murtaugh as flatfoots, then go from there.

    ZOG hated White South Africa, so its probably realistic that vigilantes going murderhobo on them would have zero repercussions. A fucking KGB terrorist was put in the presidency by CIA in the mid90s ffs

    Unlike Quentin, I don't think this one is his best movie. Doesn't even come close to Pulp Fiction. Perhaps #3 or #4.

    Saw this with my 3 year old today. All the KFP movies are good so I was happy to see this one was as well. Funny with a lot of action and decent art direction.

    I liked the Revenant apart from all the 21st century values smushed into it.

    The whole thing with the mutt son was cringe worthy

    The Revenant :5/5:

    Do yourselves a favor and watch this in the cinema, preferably with a pretty big screen. One of the most beautifully-shot movies I've seen. The story is simple, but remains interesting with the help some great direction and incredible photography providing some of the most amazing landscape-scenes ever. The action is brutal and at times inventive. The pace was just right, traversing from atmospheric scenes, to survival strife, to hectic chasing. The opening battle is masterfully choreographed. Both Di Caprio and Hardy are very good.
