I'm surprised you liked it, Webstar! I thought it wouldn't be dark enough for you...

hahahahahahaha come on man!!! I'm not that bad am I?????????????? I loved it. You?

[fernandito]

I'm just teasing, man. I actually haven't seen it. I'm not a big McCarthy fan.

[Still Servant]

Thanks, guys! It's been a strong year so far. A lot of the blockbuster films have been pretty good so far.

Webstar, I'm with you on Pitch Perfect 2. Not horrible, but no where near as good as the first film.

Killjoy, I really enjoyed Spy. I like McCarthy. I'm always a little surprised when I hear that people don't like her. It seems like there's a lot of people that dislike her for some reason. It kind of reminds me of all the people that started popping up hating Will Ferrell. I'm not really sure why people don't like her. She's the female Chris Farley. Who doesn't like Chris Farley?

Anyway, Spy isn't hilarious by any means, but it's a solid action/comedy.

I hope you have fun at the drive-in, Webstar. They are getting harder and harder to find. I used to love going when I was a kid. The one near me only plays old movies now. My hunch is you hate Fantastic 4 more than you thought you would, but like Vacation more than you thought you would.

[webstar1000]

I will report as soon as each one is done! Lol

Wow... You called that brother! F4 was BRUTAL... I mean how they dropped the ball so bad I can't imagine! It's a border line rental... Reminds me of the first attempts back in the day at comic book movies. Just bad....

Vacation was funny. PERIOD. Solid 7/10 for me and thought it's too bad it did not do better cause there was lots of out loud laughs! Where I would give F4 a 3/10. So... You called it!

Nice! I'm thinking that's what will happen when I watch both films, although I'm not sure when I will see Fant4stic (seriously, who's idea was it to spell the name of the film like that, probably the same guy who had the idea to name Terminator Genisys).

It's funny you should mention that Fantastic Four feels like early comic book movie making, that's what I'm hearing from a lot of people and I can't think of a worse way to describe a superhero film.

[DoctorZaius]

PHEW! I am so glad that I saw Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation instead of F4. Mission Impossible really delivers the summer fun. Killing-maiming-stylized fighting-car chases-motorcyle chases-and some good humor. A really good night out!

From his go-to white-on-black Windsor typeface (in use since 1977) onward, there’s a particular solace to be found in entering the latest film from Woody Allen. Here is a filmmaker who, year after year (and for nearly 50), churns out (mostly) quality work. In honor of his latest, the Joaquin Phoenix-led drama Irrational Man, I’ve updated a feature from a few years ago in which I combed through his entire filmography, revisiting classics and going through a handful of features I’d previously never encountered.

While the list ranges from my least- to most-preferred films, one owes it to themselves to seek out any entry from the director you may have missed. As you can see in my first pick, it’s remarkable that, after nearly half-a-century in the business, his complete filmography is still something to be admired. Discounting his team-up with Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola in 1989’s New York Stories, his 1994 TV movie Don’t Drink the Water, and the featurette Men of Crisis, you can see, below, our rundown of Allen’s entire body of directorial work and let us know your favorites in the comments.

Just wow:

What's everyone looking forward to the rest of the year?

[fernandito]

The Revenant for sure. Dicaprio and Gonzles Inarritu is a strong pedigree.

Sicario looks brutal and unforgiving. I'm there.

I'm not sure about The Martian... Scott has lost his touch.

Spectre because I love the James Bond franchise.

Black Mass even though they slapped those ugly, too fake looking by half vampire colored contacts on Depp.

Oh and this one film called... The Force Awakens, I think? Have ya'll heard of it?

[fernandito]

I typed that^ before watching the video, but now that I've watched it...



Spotlight looks fascinating. It's a shame that it will most likely be slammed unanimously as being unfairly acerbic by the pious population.

Trumbo earns my money solely because of my baby boo, Bryan Cranston.

Steve Jobs, YES. Forget about that tepid effort starring Kutcher, this will the true romanticized retelling of the visionary's life. Fassbender will knock it out of the park.

The Walk....meh.

[Still Servant]

I love Screen Junkies! I've had two of my questions asked on Movie Fights.

Anyway, like Fernando, I'm really looking forward to Sicario. That trailer is just intense. The Revenant, Black Mass and Spectre are all must see films for me.

Unlike Fernando, I'm not "meh" on The Walk. I love Robert Zemeckis and JGL. I also loved the documentary Man on Wire, which the film is based on. Bridge of Spies also looks interesting and I can't forget about Crimson Peak.

Possibly the film I'm looking most forward to is Legend. Tom Hardy has become one of my favorite, most dependable actors.

[killjoy72]

Thanks for the video, Pablo! Ranked in order of interest:

The Force Awakens
Crimson Peak
Spectre
Steve Jobs
Sicario
Trumbo
Black Mass
The Martian
The Walk

I just hope I'll be able to see them all!

[webstar1000]

The Force Awakens
Crimson Peak... Black Mass is interesting but in the theaters... just these two. Never know when reviews are out though... could be a hidden gem.

[fernandito]

There are early rumblings of Depp having turned in an Oscar worthy performance in Black Mass.

Heard that....

[Still Servant]

That's too bad. I was looking forward to this one. There was a lot of Oscar buzz surrounding it.

That whole Snowden saga fascinates me. I actually have Citizen Four up next on my Netflix queue.

Citizen Four is fascinating and kind of disturbing on many levels.

[Heather19]

I just watched Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger. Pretty interesting, and it's crazy how much corruption is in our government. I'd definitely recommend it for those that like documentaries, or are interested in the case. I had no idea how crazy the story actually was.

Today is Oliver Stone's 69th birthday.
