And what did you think of them

World War Z

Second time. Think it’s a decent movie, nothing too great. It’s on now, looking forward to seeing the rest of it.

40 movies left from 2013 after this, 17 rewatches, and 23 first time viewings.

That movie is pretty average, but it gets points for making the zombies suicidal terminators. By contrast, The Walking Dead's... er, walkers, are so much less threatening.

It's just a clumsy telling of the story with an annoying metatextual twist, very plain and artless on a visual level, with at least three highly questionable casting choices. It has its charms, I like Saoirsie Ronan a lot, but the 94 adaptation is better in every way.

From that list watch The Owners. I don't really know what it is.

What are the three highly questionable casting choices? Bob Odenkirk is one. Meryl Streep, too. Who is three?

This Is The End

Saw this just four years ago for the first time. Very enjoyable. Don’t think an early rewatch for my 2013-run will be off.

Paths of Glory

Very stuffy, small in scope, simple, bland. But with Kubrick you always get some beautiful shots and memorable, quirky moments. Seems it was a victim of its time. I’m sure it was great for its time. Would like to see a more fleshed out remake.

The Other Guys - I've seen this a few times and it does a lot of things that work really, well and others not so much. The latter seemed to stick out more to me this time, so i'll probably not watch it ever again. Not even if there's a fire.

Blade Runner (The Final Cut) - I watched the first half a few weeks ago, in anticipation of finishing it the next day and watching 2049 soon after. Neither happened and I forgot, so I finished it last evening. I believe this is my only second time seeing this version, and it's definitely the preferred, but still there's always been something that just doesn't take it to the level of it's acclaim. I wish it didn't.

Witness - This was a beautiful movie outside of the thriller scenes. Kelly McGillis had a weird looking chest.

I spent a few days with Lukas Haas once. Had no idea who he was until later.

It’ll sound too outlandish, none of you would believe me. But I swear on my life it happened.

I saw him at Cannes Lions once. He looked really weird and out, almost scared. He was staying at Hotel Martinez and every night everyone went partying at that lobby.

I recognized him and thought about talking to him but didnt do it.

Gravity

Remember my colleagues loving this back in 2013. Thought it was decent when I saw it. First rewatch now.

A really well made movie.
