Merged: The Movies Thread

[punch it in]

Trying to watch all the oscar nominees before Sunday. Last nite was American Hustle. Thought it was much better than Wolf of Wall Street. Both movies are so spun out Lol. Tonite - 12 years a slave.

I watched American Hustle, but to be honest I didn't like it that much. I though it would be really good but I was surprisingly disappointed. I definitely enjoyed Wolf of Wall Street though, I thought it was on par with the book. 12 Years A Slave is definitely great too.

Maleficent was legit. I went to a late show and while there were some small children, it was mostly adults in there.

Not your typical Disney movie. It IS typical in the happy ending, etc. But the action was pretty good and Angelina Jolie was masterful, as she usually is. I saw it in 3D too, but not IMAX. Probably worth the money if you saw it on IMAX, otherwise, just skip it and do the 2D version.

It's now one of my favorite movies, along with Frozen, Aladdin and The Lion King.

5/5

Godzilla and Xmen: Days of Future Past were good. I think they did redeemed Godzilla from that monstrosity 15 years ago. Xmen I thought was a very good installment. Stay for the end of the credits to see who the next villain is going to be.

I wanted to see Godzilla because all my friends raved about it. But it looks like I might end up seeing A Million Ways to Die in the West.

I liked Ted a lot but I feel like this movie is going to be a bunch of dick and fart jokes.

Coen brothers, I have a love/not hate, but don't love, maybe I think they get too cute sometimes relationship with their films. Well just saw inside Llewyn Davis, I gotta admit, it's brilliant,but the whole time watching I was like....this isn't that great, and I don't like it. But by the end of the film you kinda get it and it's like....damn how did they do that? A serious man, Barton fink, o brother,.....and it's not all of their films that have that style to them. Just really great film

I just watched it last night. It was pretty good, but I had my hopes really high for it. The cast is pretty sick and there are definitely some cool sequences. Its worth a viewing I think.

Yeah i went ahead and watched it too. Same here...very high hopes. Reminded me of Mad Max from a science fiction perspective crossed with The Road. Ummm...I dont know how I feel about it, but your right worth the view.

I thought it was really good, a bit long, but overall really good and definitely sets up well for the end of the trilogy.

Film Industry Has Worst Summer Since 1997

Or at least if they have, it isn't in a theater. Ticket sales to movie theaters in the U.S. and Canada are expected to sink to about $3.9 billion, a 15 percent decline when compared to summer of 2013, according to box office company Rentrak. In July, box office sales were down 30 percent, the New York Times reports.

For the first time in 13 years, no summer film netted $300 million in ticket sales domestically. Not even Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy," the highly-anticipated superhero film that led this summer's box office sales, could save the summer. And as Vox notes, a dry summer is an especially hefty hit. Summer is when the film industry banks on people heading to theaters, typically producing the greatest months of ticket sales.
