Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno

A far better movie than the first, in my opinion. The opening is epic as all hell, the characters are perfect, and it's a great adaption that doesn't make the prior's mistake of squeezing too much stuff into its run time.

Well, it's a great adaption until the end, when it kind of falls off the rails. The giant Kyoto battle happens ahead of schedule (unless they're going to do ANOTHER one in the second movie), Kaoru gets kidnapped (which irritates me), and Kenshin fights a bunch of cameos before nearly drowning and washing up on a beach that Seijuro luckily was hanging out at on one of the rare jaunts he takes off his mountain? Still eager to see the next one next month, though.

If you close your eyes, your life a naked truth revealed
Dreams you never lived and scars never healed
In the darkness light will take you to the other side
And find me waiting there, you'll see if you just close your eyes.
If you just close your eyes.
If you just close your eyes.

Merry Christmas.

Frozen

I know it was already released last year, but I haven't got chance to watch it until now... It's a awesome Disney movie.
I should have watched last year, but better now than ♩let it go, let it go! Can't hold it back anymore! ♩

The salvation

The most western western to ever western, which is to say that it's very nice and entertaining in a very western way, but it's also not really original or distinctive in nearly any way, even if there is some Danish spoken in it. I liked the focus on realism and the shootout at the end was very good. Worth a watch if you like westerns.

The grand budapest hotel

A funny, offbeat and heartfelt comedy about a guy who fucks old people and steals a painting he already kinda owns. Very good and really makes me want to watch more Wes Anderson movies.

Yeah, that works.

No witty quotes though.

[The only one worthy of my love!]

Yeah, Grand Budapest Hotel is like Anderson 101, in that it's a good starting point for people who want to go further down the rabbit hole. As far as where to go next, it kinda just depends on your tastes. The best two traditionally were Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, although I also give huge props to Fantastic Mr. Fox (his only not-live-action movie) and The Darjeeling Limited (which is kind of like him deconstructing his own style). However, do not, I repeat, do NOT make the next movie be The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, because it's really hard to get into until you're more familiar with how Anderson operates.

[The only one worthy of my love!]

UselessLurker told me to watch this movie months ago and I finally got around to it.

Scanners

It's 1981, and the world's population contains a very small population of humans known as "scanners" who have grotesque telekinetic powers, which cause them to become social misfits and develop schizophrenia. A homeless bum named Cameron Vale is one of these scanners, and he is picked up by the mysterious Dr. Paul Ruth who teaches him how to control his powers. He is immediately tasked with a mission to bring down a rogue scanner named Darryl Revok, who is trying to bring down Dr. Ruth's company and its operations.

Anyone who has been on the internet for at least a good amount of time has seen at least one scene from this movie (this one, warning NSFW). That being said, there are quite a few iconic scenes in this movie that are a lot more impressive (although I can't go over them because they contain massive spoilers). The practical effects somehow manage to look both totally fake and really cool at the same time, inspiring both laughs and queasiness at the same time. I can't really describe the feeling. Another thing I have to give credit to is the movie's use of sound. You can never tell when you're getting a suspenseful music cue or if it's a scanner scanning someone. Sometimes it feels like the scanner is scanning you, and it's quite trippy. It manages to make moments that look like overacting actually feel like someone's head is about to explode.

Now I have to give you a fair warning before you watch this movie: the plot is ridiculous. I'm sure you probably guessed this already but it bears repeating, there are quite a few twists in the plot, and they're both cliche and nonsensical, one which involves an ability scanners have. And if you don't like people getting shot and lots of blood and bodies flying everywhere, you're not going to like this movie.

I, for one, loved it.

8/10

Christmas isn't about getting into clubs, Zorak!

13 HOUR MOVIE MARATHON (YESTERDAY)

Into The Woods
Stephen Sondheim's acclaimed fairy tale musical finally makes it to the big screen after several aborted attempts. After spending the first half of the movie retelling of several famous fairy tales, things take a decidedly darker turn as the movie explores what happens after you get what you wish for. It's pretty good! I haven't seen the stage version but I could tell that there were some odd cuts/changes (some for time, some to make the movie less dark/more palatable for a Disney audience), but the movie still retains its essential darkness (at least as far as I can tell from reading about what was changed) and none of the changes ruins the movie, I think.

Big Eyes
The real life story of a painter (Amy Adams) whose work was falsely claimed and sold by her husband (Christoph Waltz) as his own; her unique paintings (of giant-eyed, sad children) became a cultural phenomenon, selling millions of prints. For over a decade she was forced to lie to the entire world to keep up this charade, and was forced to spend the majority of her time in virtual isolation in her studio cranking out new paintings. This is also a pretty good movie! Adams and Waltz are great, and it's really nice to see Tim Burton reteaming with the screenwriters of Ed Wood, because this is easily the best Burton movie in a over a decade.

Top Five
Written, directed, and starring Chris Rock, this movie is about a comedian who has to confront his past and present life and career when he spends a day in NYC being interviewed by a journalist (Rosario Dawson). This movie is fantastic, simply incredible. It's whip-smart and absolutely hysterical. I can't recommend this highly enough!

Wild
Another true story type deals: following the death of her mother, her divorce, and years of drug abuse and self-destructive behavior, a Cheryl Strayed (Reese Witherspoon) impulsively decides to hike over a thousand miles on the Pacific Crest Trail (going from southern California to Washington state), alone, with no prior experience. An incredibly powerful, incredibly great movie. Witherspoon is simply incredible and now I really wanna start reading Cheryl Strayed's memoir that this was based on, and also her other writing.

The Hobbit: battle of five armies or something (no trailer for this)
these Hobbit movies are so fucking frustrating because there's clearly a good/decent movie underneath all this stupid drawn out shit and weightless, terrible CGI sequences. It's such a depressing thing to watch, and I truly believe a good movie can be made of these three piles; the performances are there! Martin Freeman is great and Bilbo actually does have a whole arc, even though it's stretched out to the point of parody and hacked to pieces because of all the random irrelevant shit added in between.

Also I'm glad that Peter Jackson finally found a place for climax of the second movie (where Smaug attacks Laketown gets killed) by jamming it into the opening of the third movie. I guess this must be a new innovation in cinema like 48FPS and stuff, but it sure is weird jamming an ending of one movie into the first 10 minutes of a different movie!

Selma
A historical drama about the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches spearheaded by Martin Luther King, Jr. This is the best movie of the year, easily. Intensely gripping, incredibly written, directed, and acted, and immensely emotionally powerful. I simply cannot recommend this movie enough. It is a movie whose message is not only incredibly relevant because of last year's striking down of key provisions of the Voting Rights act these marches achieved (the loss of said provisions have led almost immediately to incredibly restrictive voting registration limits that have overwhelmingly disenfranchised minority voters, all in the service of literally non-existent voter fraud), but also because of the events in Ferguson and elsewhere in the past few months. This is a movie everyone should see.

does this look like the face of mercy?

someone was busy watching really bad movies!!!

Meanwhile I watched

Hensel and gretel : A japanese movie about a man that gets lost in the woods and comes across a house filled with children and their "apparently" happy parents! Little does he know that the house is haunted and he too is now locked into a horror fairytale.

Maze Runner- It was both confusing and kinda weird, the ending had absolutely no payoff!!

I Origin- Researcher keeps bugging his religious wife about how GOD doesnt exist and hes gonna prove it, it had a basic good storylien involving researching eyes but it went nowhere fast!

TMNT - there is some semblant of a decent tmnt movie under all the bad cgi and awful dialogue, the sequence where they drop into the sewer and recreate the opening of the cartoon was great.

Dawn of the planet of the apes: Great movie, Caesar had a lot of weight and the movie had great pacing. I had to pick up subtitles for the sign language!

Boxtrolls
-Incredibly underwhelming, Laika without Gaiman is almost nothing. even Paranorman was better.

I was expecting that, so I read the three books in the series prior to watching the movie. They were just as, if not more, confusing as the movie. The whole story behind what's going on in the outside world and the whole WICKED experiment gets described in the second and third books, so it might pay off then. The third book was rubbish, so I hope the movie doesn't turn out the same way. It was as if I was reading Psycho-Pass 2 but in the form of a novel with the same pace and qualities as the anime.

tl;dr second movie will explain some of the confusing stuff, and the third book sucked ass.

LET THE SWAGGING COMMENCE
Online

I'm pretty sure this is considered a movie. If not, feel free to correct me.

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Volume 7

The Unicorn VS Neo Zeong fight was HORRIBLE! I was expecting a super epic final battle, but instead I got something only a real life Newtype will understand. Also, last time I remember, I was watching Gundam, not Neon Genesis Evangelion. Though, the scene where the previous events of the Universal Century was fucking orgasmic, especially the part with the Big Zam.

Overall, I thought the movie was a train wreck. But it had sick Mobile Suit designs, so I'll let it slide.
