Saw Lost in Translation last night. What a magnificent film. The pairing between Bill and Scarlett is mesmerising. Do yourself a favour and watch it if you haven't already!
Actually she is quite attractive a woman on so many levels (see what I did there? ) especially in this movie >>>>>>>> He's Just Not That into You
Just saw The Hobbit in 3D, great movie. Quite a few differences from the book, but that's to be expected.
48 fps? If yes, what'd you think about it? I felt the storyline was just not as tight as LotR, and it is a slight disappointment to me. But Parts 2 & 3 could change my opinion!
Going to see The Hobbit in 3D and 48 FPS right now! Been a long time since I've read the book and watched the LOTR trilogy.
I've read that in 48 fps there are problems with people seeming to move too fast at times. Fast motion. I'm curious to know if anyone has seen it in 48 fps and NOT experienced that.
Yeah, if it is 48fps you'd be certain to notice it. It isn't available in all countries or all 3D theaters too.
Enjoyed The Hobbit. Some parts were quite slow due to how much they're stretching it out. Amazing filmography and action scenes though. Didn't really like the 48 FPS too much. That just made it feel like I was watching an HDTV for the most part. Great actors as always. I laughed way too much throughout the film. Can't wait to see part 2 next December. Middle Earth really is one of the most interesting fantasy settings out there. Getting my little brother (10) all 4 books for Christmas. First birthday/Christmas that I didn't get him video games in years. He's getting a PS3 from the parents though. Next movie to see this break: Django Unchained.
The Lone Ranger is pretty much the only movie I'm looking forward to. The rest just seem so generic. I mean Tom Cruise's Oblivion? Lol come on. That's just incredibly unoriginal.
Ok, so I re-watched The Hobbit in 48fps/3D today, and well, it was actually really good! I had no "eye sickness" seeing the 3D because everything was so smooth. The pictures are really sharp. Everything appears to move "faster" though (like 2x as fast) due to the higher framerate, but tbrh, I think it was pretty good. I watched it in 24fps/2D last week, so I can make a valid comparison. I think the general consensus that 48fps was bad is misplaced...it was good and I didn't feel much awkwardness. You heard it here first - 48fps is the future and it will start prospering in 2014, if not next year itself. However, all I wish for is 48fps to come to 2D as well, because I am no fan of 3D in movies that consist of "real actors". (In animations it is acceptable)
Nope. I was pretty pissed cause I watched it in Digital 2D expecting 48fps. I was certain it didn't look different, and true enough when I checked on the Internet 48fps is only available in regular 3D (not in iMax 3D). But yeah, smart thinking from the movie studios cause lots of people (like me!) will be watching it twice to see the difference. Some even thrice (3D/48, 3D/24, 2D/24)! lol
Just watched Haywire. Thank goodness I didn't see it in theaters in Jan. Slow, confusing, and just completely different from what the reviews describe.
Finished the two Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movies. Meh to bleh was my reaction. Those movies could've been sooo good had they just stuck to the source material: Holmes was a manic-depressive drug addict who was a talented musician and chemist, and logical thinker who very often solved cases without leaving his apartment. He was proficient in boxing and fencing, but he was by no means an action star who constantly got into gun and fistfights. The movie neither showed not implied his constant (thrice daily coke or morphine depending on preference) injections when not on a case, nor his musical talent, nor his steady, bonding relationship with Watson (who, by the way, fought and ran around very well for all his war wounds), nor his long walks around London learning every inch of the place, nor his army of street boys he would employ to scour the streets for imformation, nor his chemistry work/knowledge, nor his depression mood swings. He died in 1902 (or 1901, can't remember which) not 1892 as the movie depicts, and he most certainly didn't survive the fatal waterfall. Mortiaty was terribly written and acted, he wasn't menacing or calculating or cold or intelligent in the least, just a very, very generic villain. He played a huge game of chess and back and forth moves with Holmes in crime and evidence trails, yet the movie neither shows or alludes to it. He isn't crafty, he doesn't match Holmes on an intellectual level at all. It's just pathetic. I was very much looking forward to a big budget adaptation of the Final Adventure, and I love Downey as an actor, but the final movie especially was just crap. I felt like I was watching a movie geared towards 12 year olds.
