Film/Movie Recommendations

A few recent viewings of films I hadn't caught at the cinema so plumped for the (3D) Blu-Rays:

Thor: The Dark World... or "Thor: The CGI World" as it is probably better titled.
Not bad. Tom Hiddleston is a great British actor and he tends to steal the scenes he is in.
But 6 or 7/10 - depending on mood.

Guardians of the Galaxy... or "Guardians of the CGI" as it is probably better titled.
Very enjoyable film. Didn't know much/anything about the comics, so was a blank slate in terms of expectation. But it was fun and should make a reasonable franchise. 9/10

X-Men: Days of Future Past... or "X-Men: Days of Future CGI" as it is probably better titled.
Another good film. A glaring plot hole mid-way through but otherwise a good film. 8.5/10

The Lego Movie... or "The CGI Movie" as it is probably better titled.
Fun film, if possibly for the nostalgia of my days spent building stuff with it. 7.5/10

Expatriate... or "Expatriate" as it is probably better titled.
Shock! No CGI!! (and not 3D).
It's a sort of poor-man's Bourne. It's not all-action but is somewhat more about the relationship of the guy with his daughter as he tries to work out what's going on. 5/10

I've already seen the first 3 and will check out the last 2.
 
I just watched the following movie (Very funny) if your in the mood for comedy. I enjoyed it very much.
Let's Be Cops
2014 R 104 minutes

When two pals show up at a costume party dressed as cops, they end up being mistaken for the real thing and get drawn into a bona-fide crime drama. Despite a lack of experience in police work, the duo takes their new roles seriously.

Cast: Damon Wayans Jr., Jake Johnson, Rob Riggle

Really? I think you must have been drunk or something. It stunk as far as I was concerned. Watching Depp talking on a giant TV screen for most of the movie wasn't very appealing to me. Actually the whole movie was a bunch of crap.

Here's what Rotten Tomatoes rated it at.

TOMATOMETER
19%
Average Rating: 4.6/10
Reviews Counted: 194
Fresh: 36
Rotten: 158

Critics Consensus: In his directorial debut, ace cinematographer Wally Pfister remains a distinctive visual stylist, but Transcendence's thought-provoking themes exceed the movie's narrative grasp.


That was 19% which is very low score and it only made 23 million dollars which means it cost more than it was made.

Well I thought Animal House was "fun" but this movie was terrible and had nothing funny about it. To each their own, I'm glad you enjoyed it but I'm warning others about buying it or renting it for, to me, they will be disappointed.

The trailer is about the best part of the movie, watch it and you'll have seen about the only parts of the movie that are worthwhile.
 
I finaly watched "Kill Bill"... an i give it a B+ for everthang except the cartoon part... an the over the top mindless never-endin kung-fu sword-fight parts.!!!

So over all it gets a C+ from me.!!!
