Here's my list so far.

Clear and Present Danger
Patriot Games
42
Cowboys and Aliens
Paranoia
Random Hearts
Morning Glory
Six Days Seven Nights

Obviously I've seen Star Wars, Indy, Blade Runner, Sabrina, Air Force One.

No desire to see the ones where Ford plays the computer guy (Firewall) or the cop. Those look shitty.

BigMeatballDave 06-04-2014 12:58 PM

Firewall wasn't bad.

Dayze 06-04-2014 12:58 PM

I'm the opposite. I can't stand Harrison Ford fo some reason.
I think he is to acting what Steven Segal is to running.

BigMeatballDave 06-04-2014 01:00 PM

Didn't care for Six Days Seven Nights.

The Fugitive was very good.

Hollywood Homicide wasn't terrible.

Dude seriously. Watch Regarding Henry. He's got range that often goes unused since he's kind of typecast.

Dayze 06-04-2014 01:25 PM

Best thing is that the character he plays is a completely different person at the start of the movie. He's a complete dick who turns into a nice guy.

Dayze 06-04-2014 01:33 PM

as you mentioned, part of my not liking him is he seems a bit type-cast. so, maybe something out of the norm will change my mind

That 'The Fault is in our Stars' movie might be the best movie in the history of movies, and I would not watch it due to all the click bait it has littered social media with this week.

I read the book. If teen cancer romance is your cup of tea, go for it.

I actually really like John Green, but I wasn't crazy about this book. The whole concept seemed so... obvious... or something. It does have his usual witty, interesting characters, though.

It's one of my life's goals to get into an argument with a girl and give her "The Ford Finger."

Also, I watched Random Hearts with him and Kristin Scott Thomas the other night. Weak movie but he is so good in it. A lot of nuance in his performance.

Pepe Silvia 06-08-2014 07:50 PM

He even made Working Girl watchable.

Holy crap Maleficent was excellent. Must watch.

Meh. Pretty sure Thor needs to be confined to Avengers films. Loki actually a lot more interesting as a potential lead.

I first saw it when I was about 9 or 10. My older sister and I watched The Breakfast Club so much growing up we wore out the vhs tape. Movie holds up tremendously and still totally relevant.

Maybe Lucas can remaster that too, and add in iphones and texting alerts, etc.

My understanding the biggest complaint is they completely ****ed up the story. Made the evil queen just misunderstood. Disney-fied one of the original Disney villains.

Well there will be angered fans but there will be new fans to make up for it. If you are like him you may not like it, but it is well done. Well told, well paced, and looks amazing.

Watched "I, Frankenstein" last night. Holy **** was the acting atrocious but it was a decent rent for $1.

Cap and Iron Man can carry movies. Especially Cap since he's such a fish out of water/time. I just feel like there isn't much to Thor besides swinging his big hammer. He's best as a foil to Loki.

I will say that visually, the Thor movies are ****ing spectacular. They're fun to look at.

Critical response says otherwise. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a dog in this fight, I simply urged caution since it's received "mixed reviews" at best. I was telling what I've heard about it. And before anyone says "but it's got 75 percent from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes," keep in mind that actually good movies generally get good reviews from critics and audiences alike. Audiences that go to Maleficent are predisposed to liking it.

NewChief 06-10-2014 10:12 AM

Watched "End of Watch" the other night. I really enjoyed it, though I'm not sure what I thought about the weird narrative convention of having a lot of it shot through handheld cameras by actors. It didn't really make any sense the way they did it. Still the story was pretty decent and characters compelling.

Star Trek: Into Darkness was a lot of fun as well.

I've seen quite a few positive reviews from my friends on Facebook (most of whom are parents of children), but most people aren't going to get on FB and talk about how they just paid to see a movie and it sucked.

NewChief 06-10-2014 10:16 AM

Oh. And I think I fell in love with Anna Kendrick a little bit when her and Gyllenhall's characters were dueting on "Hey Ma" while driving in the car. Freaking sneaky cute.

Yeah, I don't know. I kind of got my hopes up for Snow White and the Huntsman. They sold it as giant epic battles and it wasn't. But all in all, it is unfortunate that Kristen Stewart's no-acting ass killed really good performances from Hemsworth and Theron. Point is, this looks like a knock off of that, and I was disappointed by Snow White.

I care not about the story, but if it's good I'd rent it. It's just hard for me to get wound up after Snow White. It's a tough niche. I was kind of "meh" after seeing Hansel and Gretel, but that's probably the best of this new type of movie (Stewart was THAT bad in Snow White).

Interestingly, I read an article awhile back that this may be Jolie's last hurrah as a headliner. She's really losing her appeal and may not be able to carry a movie anymore. IIRC, the last thing she did well in was Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and the last thing she headlined at all was either Salt or Wanted, I can't remember, but either one did well. The article postulated that she may be washed up.

Don't get me started. I was on the fence in regards to JJ Abrams as a filmmaker before this movie. Now I'm almost falling off the fence, and a bad Episode VII will incite me to rage.

By the way, mock me all you want, but check out Pitch Perfect. I was joking about it and mentioned it to my brother and he said he was also a big fan of the movie.

I only recently found out that she started singing and doing Broadway from a really young age.

It's good in a similar vein as Easy A. Total high school semi chick flick that seems to go beyond those boundaries. It's worth checking out, for sure. My wife and I caught it on HBO and immediately bought the DVD.

Edge feels like a mix of previous films. It's good, but original concepts hold my interest better.

Really well made hard sci-fi though.

I think the same time every time I see that one. That one is just laughably bad; it has not aged well at all.

I can't tell what is more incredible though: how bad the effects were or how small Jackman was compared to now..

I really enjoyed it. There were a several moments that made me laugh actually. Was kind of surprised that there were that many comedic moments in a science fiction, but I thought it worked. Emily Blunt is real easy on the eyes too.
