What is the last movie you saw? and rate it.

I saw "Creed" the other night. It's the seventh (I think) Rocky film -- I didn't see 5 or 6, but enjoyed the others, especially the original. In addition, "Creed" has been mentioned as one reason to boycott the Oscars for racism, because Michael Jordan (no, not the shoe salesman) wasn't nominated for best actor (despite, supposedly, being deserving). Sly Stallone gave a decent performance as Rocky, redolent of nostalgia, but the movie didn't quite cut it. Why root for a millionaire who takes up boxing? It lacks the "underdog" panache of the original "Rocky". There was no reason to nominate Jordan for best actor -- the role is slight. Save your money.

Whatever Works: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/whatever_works/

This is a delightful Woody Allen movie. The main character is an anti-social, depressed, negatively spun quantum physicist and the three women in his life. Although he is supposedly brilliant, an almost Nobel Prize winner, the easiest way he can think of to leave a woman is by jumping out the window. That would work, but his suicide attempts are never successful. He always falls onto something that breaks his fall right at the bottom sort of like the universe sparing him for his next ordeal or wife. Of course he doesn't believe the universe cares enough about him to waste its time plotting against him, or that it could care at all, but for someone who doesn't believe in the significance of coincidences, his life is full of them pairing him with women whose views of reality oppose his own.

Score: 10/10

Went to see Deadpool, pandering to my love of all things spandex-clad.

I felt rather let down by it actually, having expected to enjoy it. Though stylish, it was nowhere near as clever as it thought it was, the plot was non-existent, and it rapidly fell into the tired narrative tropes that it had initially set out to mock. For all its big Holywood budget, it somehow felt cheap and nasty.

"Mustang"
A film about 5 girls (sisters)that live in Turkey and what they do to escape repression.
Lovely, sad and revolting. Rate:8,5

...pandering to my love of all things spandex-clad....

lokasenna, have you seen kick-***?

its overly vulgar, ridiculously violent, and tremendously absurd, but I found in spite of that, I still liked it...

that's funny---the forum software's editing out "mass" minus the "m."

Yes, I've seen Kick-(m)*** - I really enjoyed it, thinking it a clever riff on superhero films. The second film, though, was utterly awful.

i agree, and given how much i liked the original, i soooo wanted it to be good. i enjoyed snippets, but on the whole boy it was a movie that probably shouldn't have been made.

We were planning to see Deadpool, but when we had the opportunity the weather kept us home.

I've seen a couple of the Marvel movies: Ant-Man and The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Ant-Man was the best of the two, because the underlying conflict in the human relationships seemed better done. They both deserved an 8 out of 10.

I saw Victor Frankenstein, the new take on the old story with Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy. McAvoy, of whom I am generally a fan, overacted his way through this evening constitutional as the the title character. Daniel Radcliffe was impressive enough, I've come to discover he's actually rather good in his post-Potter life (see Horns if you haven't.) Jessica Brown Findley is loveliness itself, and Andrew Scott was his characteristic self. Not all bad, but ultimately leading nowhere and tedious. Too little of Jessica and too much of James McAvoy vying for Ham of the Year.

Deadpool, I enjoyed it a lot

The Clouds of Sils Maria. Very meta, I gather. I loved it, being a fan of Kristen Stewart (who won a Cesar for her trouble) and Juliette Binoche.

Meant to ask you if this includes Scarlett Johansson's rear end?

Watched Solace last week and liked it. Anthony Hopkins was great and so was Colin Farrel. 7/10

Harry and the Hendersons: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/harr...he_hendersons/

This is an old movie from the 20th century, but entertaining. It was the best Bigfoot movie I've ever seen as well as the only Bigfoot movie I've ever seen unless those Messing with Sasquatch ads count as movies. I know Rotten Tomatoes thought it was rotten.

Score: 9/10
