- DirectorGavin O'ConnorStarsTom HardyNick NolteJoel EdgertonThe youngest son of an alcoholic former boxer returns home, where he's trained by his father for competition in a mixed martial arts tournament - a path that puts the fighter on a collision course with his estranged, older brother.great movie, the level of the tension that could be sensed between the three main characters was real - like life jumped from the screen
hardy and edgerton were fenomenal (especially hardy), but nolte was on a completly different stadium of acting - oscar is a petty reward for him
9/10 - StarsMick WingertKari WahlgrenFred TatascioreThe further adventures of Po the Dragon Warrior and his friends.it starts great with all the comic stuff from movies and black as po is hilarious as hoffman is as shifu but others can't follow, and then the stories get tiresome with too much croc gang and that pig evil guy dude, and it just gets perpetuous - just a great chance blown up
5/10 - DirectorNicolas Winding RefnStarsRyan GoslingCarey MulliganBryan CranstonA mysterious Hollywood action film stuntman gets in trouble with gangsters when he tries to help his neighbor's husband rob a pawn shop while serving as his getaway driver.i taught that this is just gonna be another heist driving action flick, but thank God I was wrong, violence is wisely incorporated in the story and the unrestfulness of gosling's character is superb - the cast did an awesome job in general: carey mulligan was sweet and we can feel for her, oscar isaac does a vivid portrait of a ne'er do good loser husband of mulligan's character, cranston kind'a didn't try too much on this one but his performance even like that was more than satisfying, ron perlman gives us his standard bad guy portfolio but then we have albert brooks - wow, almost forgotten in mainstream, brooks lives again in this ruthless portrail of a low level mobster with dangerous love for cold weaponry
8/10 - it would've beeen 9 if gosling's character could be a little bit more consistent in his behaviour - he's a little to jumpy from almost apathicly calm to wildly murderous and psycho - DirectorMarcus NispelStarsJason MomoaRon PerlmanRose McGowanA vengeful barbarian warrior sets off to get his revenge on the evil warlord who attacked his village and murdered his father when he was a boy.story was ok, the level of howard's mythology and details incorporated were good, rose mcgowan is great, she is dangerous and sexy and really only character that has the range of emotions that make the audience feel they watch a movie rather than a lego cartoon
momoa is miscast, so is lang
lang is to conservative - he gives this impression albeit; so he cannot give us a believable evil and incestuous intentions towards his daughter, plus - phisically he's no match to momoa , so we cannot be worried for conan
momoa is ok as a "plastic" conan and his sword wielding is ok also, but conan is wild and cuning, and he reacts almost completly based on insticts, and momoa i just too tame for this
shame
6/10 - with better conan and better main villain, it would've been at least 8/10 - DirectorMatthijs van Heijningen Jr.StarsMary Elizabeth WinsteadJoel EdgertonUlrich ThomsenAt an Antarctica research site, the discovery of an alien craft leads to a confrontation between graduate student Kate Lloyd and scientist Dr. Sander Halvorson.5/10
decent enough remake/prequel of the great carpenter's the thing but the ending ruined it all
i mean why WHY would the writers do that to edgertons character - it has no sense, that killing with flamethrower of edgerton's character by winstead's character is just so bad that puts you to the limit of sickness toward the whole movie
it is stupid, it is moronic and it add's to the whole gossip that the hollywood is just the machinery without any feel for what is actually a good movie - DirectorJon FavreauStarsDaniel CraigHarrison FordOlivia WildeA spaceship arrives in 1873 Arizona to take over the Earth, starting with the Wild West region. All that stands in their way: a posse of cowboys and natives.3/10
bad
sad to see ford and carradine in this
decent special effects - CreatorJoe GaytonTony GaytonStarsAnson MountColm MeaneyRobin McLeavyThe Civil War is past, but former Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon can't put it behind him. Fresh are the memories of the death of his wife, killed at the hands of Union soldiers, an act that sets him on a course of revenge.7'5/10
very good tv show
depiction of a time very well caught
mount is a bit wooden but meany and common are fantastic as well as levine
wild west as it should be shown
enough drama and violence
