The Amazing Spider-man Two





Overall I enjoyed it but.....

Jamie Foxx was wasted as Electro IMO
Too many villains once again, dilutes and ruins these movies for me
I'm warming up to Andrew Garfield. He still tries to do the cool, quiet burn thing which doesn't work...he is better when there's humor though
Liked the cinematography, slow mo when the scene needed it worked well
Guy who played Harry Osborn looked more Goblinish without the make up



and a question for folks that have seen it....

 

How did Gwen die? Did she hit the ground before Spidey's web caught her?

Yes, Peter was a second or two too late. And by killing her off, they've killed, by far, the most enjoyable character in the series.

more Spidey 2 stuff

 

yeah they could of shown her head crack open, blood and brain matter spewing out in slo-mo

I loved the creepy stalking overtones that they turned into something sweet...

Gwen - Have you been watching me?
Peter - Just every day, mostly once a day.....

The Expendables 3






I liked this cheese fest. A lot of wasted talent though. Gibson and Banderas were good...the writing could have been a lot better IMO in terms of the banter and jokes the characters share. Then I saw Stallone was heavily involved in the screenplay and writing duties

I'm not a movie snob but there are mountains of gold there with this cast and most of the banter/exchanges fell flat (Stallone and Statham for example).

..and I could watch Statham fight all day long..

Tracks





True story of Robyn Davidson, who in 1977 walked from Alice Springs west to the Indian ocean, a journey of 1700 miles. She took four camels and her dog, Diggity

If you didn't like all of the walking in Lord of the Rings, this movie probably isn't for you

Beautifully shot and acted...it's a slow journey with lots of lingering longshots of the stark Australian landscape.

Davidson has led an interesting life. Member of The Push, lover of Salman Rushdie in the 80's...she's traveled everywhere studying aboriginal people.

When I saw it, i thought they stayed true to the comic book and it was actually the sudden stop by catching her with the webbing that snapped her neck before she hit the ground.

From Wikipedia:
Cause of death

Gwen Stacy's death in The Amazing Spider-Man #121.
The original comic features a "snap" sound effect next to Gwen Stacy's head in the panel in which Spider-Man's webbing catches her, however some later reprints remove the effect. In The Amazing Spider-Man #125 (Oct. 1973), Marvel Comics editor Roy Thomas wrote in the letters column that "it saddens us to have to say that the whiplash effect she underwent when Spidey's webbing stopped her so suddenly was, in fact, what killed her. In short, it was impossible for Peter to save her. He couldn't have swung down in time; the action he did take resulted in her death; if he had done nothing, she still would certainly have perished. There was no way out."

In the History Channel special Spider-Man Tech, Stan Lee suggests that her neck may have indeed been snapped.

Physicist and comic collector James Kakalios, in his book The Physics of Superheroes, states that in the real world, the whiplash effect would have killed her.

oh, and i thought spiderman 2 wasn't very good tbh

it was maybe just bad timing for me because i had just seen the winter soldier a week or so before spiderman 2. winter soldier might be my favorite "super hero" movie so far

If you liked the first one I'm sure you would like this one, and the girl.from Penny Dreadful is in it batting taken to pound town

Oculus






I liked this one. A sister and brother witness their Dad lose his mind and kill their Mom. Boy goes to a psychiatric ward for 12 years, while the sister plans to prove that it was an old mirror that's responsible. Slow paced, creepy and I liked how it flipped back and forth between the two timelines to tell the story.

Not jump-scare frightening, certainly well made and interesting though. I liked that the two leads in their early 20's were both intelligent, in different ways.

Good date movie

I'll have to check that out.

I just got back from this:



You're not missing much if you skip it, but if you want some brain dead entertainment and you like Dwayne Johnson, by all means, go ahead and smell what the Rock is cooking.
