Do you want a good Transformers movie? Here is the only one:

Beyond Good, Beyond Evil, Beyond your wildest imagination!

And it has Orson Wells in the cast, that beats everything all bayformers have!

´cause then it was the Fun Factory with Transformers, He-Man and some other action cartoon serie, that I forgot the name of.

Just watched The Great Gatsby because I've just recently read the book.

Excellent.

Read the book first if you haven't.

For me the surprise of the year.
I expected not much from the movie and ended up being very well entertained and laughing a lot.
Tom Cruise fans as well as anti-fans will love this movie - I don't want to spoil things though.

When it was over I had this "What, already?!" feeling you get after being sucked in for 90+minutes,
not realizing how fast time goes by, which for me is a sign the movie did its job.

Of course, not everyone will agree with this and I can't judge your movie taste.
I'd suggest to spend a bit of your life time for this movie though

Great movie, and it gets extra points for using a lot of traditional stunt work and "live" effects/pyrotechnics as opposed to over-relying computer graphics - which I think gives it a lot of that entertainment value and "oomph" that the more CG-heavy action movies often lack.

I guess I'll add it to the list of stuff to watch this week.

Rush

Possibly the new favorite movie. Absolutely loved it.

Agree, it was so much better than expected.
Daniel Brühl - surely not my favorite Actor - was so phenomenal in this one, it was proof that the Academy is biased and money-driven instead of objective.

Brühl delivered an Oscar-worthy performance... but the whole movie wasn't even nominated...

I went into watching it knowing two things

1) It's about F1
2) It's supposed to be a true story

After I finished it, I researched the true story and the movie seems to stick very well with what actually happened. The crash on the 'Ring is recreated so well.

The actors/actresses even looked EXACTLY like the real life people. I felt like that movie should've won some awards...but I had never even heard of it until a couple weeks ago.

Just sat thru Interseller! good flick; predictable; great effects- thank heavens for the early bird rate and my senior discount. There are four Oscar winners in the movie so talent is not lacking...

I didn't even know they'd made this into a film. Anyone seen it? Any good?

Rhodes · 11-24-14, 07:24 PM

Just come back from Interstellar. As Aktung said, predictable but it is a great sci-fi film. Liked very much, as some degree of 2001/Kubrick in some moments!
