Yeah, daredevil is quite good like that. The hero actually gets bashed up too.

Periodic reminder that The Americans is crazily good. Just catching up on the last season.
It wasn't as good as the prior ones I thought but still very watchable.

I'm looking forward to Dawn of the Walking Dead (which would have been a better title, IMO). I think there may be a lot less zombies in this, so some may be disappointed.

A real drama that just happens to be set in a zombie filled world could be amazing.

That's pretty much what vanilla Walking Dead has become for the most part.

Flight World War 2- a film by The Assylum, the famed mockbuster studio...but I'm not sure what film it is ripping off.
It sounded like it had a good synopsis. A plane gets sent back in time to WW2. Wonderful. Will we see a badly acted Churchill?
It sucked. Entire thing is set on the plane as it flies over 1940 France trying to avoid attacks by German jet fighters and surface to air missiles.

I always wish somebody went and did a version of The Final Countdown were the Nimitz carrier actually goes and tries to win the war single-handedly. Talk about an unfulfilled premise.

Agreed on that.

The Japanese did it, for land warfare that is, with G.I Samurai a.k.a Timeslip (Sengoku Jieitai in the latin Japanese transcription).

Fury Road; B- Should have developed the dialog and background better.

I Kissed a Girl (Toute première fois)

I'm down for a good rom com of a gay guy that falls head over heels for a straight girl, but this feels like the set up of the scenario was of most interest to the writers and then they didn't really know what to do after that. Also could do with the standard criticism of more "show and less tell."  Gay guy's straight friend (Franck Gastambide) definitely stole the show.

French male cover of I Kissed A Girl was a nice touch in the credits. :D

Worthy of the franchise, but more story and dialog would have been a plus. Presently the movie was a small fallout side quest.

Let's use the list in another way. Which is the highest ranking movie that you have not watched?

#36 Andrei Rublev

So yeah, finally saw Alien. I'm not a huge fan of horror movies, but it was quite well done.

Also saw Open Range, a solid Western but nothing special. And Ex Machina. [spoiler]Not sure why the robot girl left the tester trapped in the house.  :hmm:[/spoiler] It was ok.

It had plenty of story and character development, and as much dialogue as needed, IMO. I found it refreshing to watch a movie that didn't feel the need to blab exposition about the story, setting, or feelings of the characters to me all the time. If I want that I watch a Christopher Nolan movie.

Finally did that thing (bored at work -_-) - 129/500.

Was happy to see that The Last Seduction made the list - above Fatal Attraction!
