Rotten Tomatoes: Top Movies: 63% The Maze Runner
posted on September 22, 2014

With strong acting, a solid premise, and a refreshingly dark approach to its dystopian setting, The Maze Runner stands out from the crowded field of YA sci-fi adventures.

Rotten Tomatoes: Top Movies: 65% A Walk Among the Tombstones
posted on September 22, 2014

A Walk Among the Tombstones doesn't entirely transcend its genre clich�s, but it does offer Liam Neeson one of his more compelling roles in recent memory, and that's often enough.

Rotten Tomatoes: Top Movies: 43% This Is Where I Leave You
posted on September 22, 2014

This Is Where I Leave You has its moments, but given the amount of talent assembled onscreen, the rather pedestrian results can't help but feel like a letdown.

@AnkitSharma I'd rather opt for yet another Liam Neeson thriller than yet another Hunger Games/Divergent/City of Bones/The Host/Did I Miss Anything. But maybe it isn't too bad, afterall the Hunger Games was quite enjoyable, so maybe this one will be, too.

@ChristianRau already watched the movie you said in list except Divergent. So didn't want to re-watch them.
@TomatoBot so you also have issues with special charter handling in chat....reminded me about my office work.

@AnkitSharma I've only seen the Hunger Games from this list, and I'm not too inclined to change that at the moment.

I liked the host. Specially the love triangle/square thing :D
City of bone is ok ok.
Hunger Games is good but looks overrated to me
@ChristianRau after this question, i am thinking to watch dressed to kill someday. During searching for answer, got to know about it.

@AnkitSharma So you wrote an answer but didn't know the movie at all?

Q: Why did Stephen pretend to have a limp in Django Unchained?

laggingreflexWhy did Stephen pretend to have a limp in Django Unchained? And why stop pretending then? When he said he counted 6 bullets, and even if he believed it to be true as he was saying it, what exactly did he think was gonna happen that made him to stop pretending?

It is quite good. It's a very classic DePalma thriller, from split screens, to an overly sexualized image of women, to Hitchcock references all over the place. It's basically a complete homage to Psycho.

All sources says that its fantasy rape scene.

@AnkitSharma Didn't bother to check those at all. Just switched it on in the DVR, right before going to work, haha.

@ChristianRau didn't watched any Hitchcock film. I just entered into non indian films quite late, around 2005. Before that only watched 3 or 4 and after that ....never counted :D

But I was very happy to actually find a question about it, let alone one I could answer.

Watched maleficent, Disney logic of true love kiss is changed but still the same. Frozen and now maleficent, don't know how long it will go.

@MovieReel I don't completely get what this question is about at all, but maybe it's just too long that I've seen this.
@AnkitSharma Haven't seen either of them, yet.

@ChristianRau both are Disney-ish. Didn't expected much.

@ChristianRau Oh, and not to forget the voyeurism aspects and the film-making-nerd character. If that isn't DePalma, then I don't know what.

@AnkitSharma Well, Frozen has quite a good reputation. But Maleficent seemed to me from trailers like some pseudo-truestorybehindthemyth-lordoftheringization of the original story, but don't know much about it, I admit. Something like Snow WHite and the Huntsman or the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland.
@AnkitSharma Well, unfortunately I can't directly link it to the original. SE doesn't seem very soliloquy-friendly.

Agree with you.
I just hate their slow nature.

@ChristianRau Resident Curmudgeon here. ;) I thought Frozen would be nice but was kind of disappointed. Maybe I'm naive, but I didn't think it would be that much of a musical (the first half is almost constant singing). I hate most musicals, especially ones with clunky lyrics and forced rhymes. And the rest was just usual Disney schticks with a sudden and arbitrary denouement. Can't even imagine what the film was like before Lasseter stepped in.
It's not awful (the kids are in love with it, of course), but I wouldn't go past maybe 6.5/10, which I didn't expect.

Just been to IMDb to see how many musicals I watched and was surprised by the number (though some don't really count, like Marx bros films where I just fast-forward most of the musical bits).
So here's a question: How many movies\shows have you rated\reviewed on IMDb (or Letterboxd or similar sites)? I'd say the number but I want to make sure I'm not the only nut around here!!

Q: Was Sharknado planned as a trash movie?

Obl ToblI just watched the movie Sharknado and i wondered myself, if this movie was planned as a Trash-Movie or if this 'just happened'. There are so much really strange scenes, cuts, dialogs etc. so that i just can't believe it's meant serious. Maybe somebody knows more about the background of this movie.

Not sure if this will work outside the US, but Netflix has built a website that will provide you with a random spoiler from a movie or TV show. spoilers.netflix.com/spoil-yourself
