DRAGONLORD'S 2016 MOVIE GUIDE

[EvilDDS]

I saw Christina Applegate on Conan the other night. She looks great, and the clip they showed from Bad Moms looked hilarious

Think I'm seeing it today or tomorrow with the gf

 

[Bonos]

particularly lackluster summer in my opinion.

It has to be the worst in recent memory. I'm surprised by all the poor Bourne reviews.

 

[Swiftie]

I saw Jason Bourne last night. You know what you're getting in this movie, lots of action and fight scenes. Tommy Lee Jones is looking rough these days. I never heard of Alicia Vikander, but found her smoking hot while watching the movie. I'm sure they'll come out with a Bourne 4, 5, and 6.

It has to be the worst in recent memory. I'm surprised by all the poor Bourne reviews.

If they couldn't make a good one, they shouldn't have re-visited the property at all. I say that as someone who thought Bourne Legacy was relatively entertaining but not something I'd go out of my way to watch again.

She's very sexy.

I agree. But I guess I had more faith in the director and Damon coming back. The trilogy is slightly overrated imo so seeing all these reviews, i'm going to pass on it and wait.

 

[Amerikuracana]

Looks like mostly rehash..

Into the forest may be well acted, making it ok. I have already seen "the day after," however.

Critics' Reviews for JASON BOURNE

Rotten Tomatoes: 57% approval rating (104 out of 184 critics like it)

Critics Consensus: Jason Bourne delivers fans of the franchise more of what they've come to expect -- which is this sequel's biggest selling point as well as its greatest flaw.

Entertainment Weekly - Jason Bourne has already given us a hero who transcends two dimensions. We just need to know more about what he's fighting for. B+

Newark Star-Ledger - If this is the best "Bourne" this team can deliver after nine years away - maybe it'd just be better next time if they forgot the whole thing. 1.5/4

Richard Roeper - Jason Bourne is the best action thriller of the year so far, with a half-dozen terrific chase sequences and fight scenes. At one point the action swings to Vegas, and while some of what transpires is almost cartoonishly over-the-top, it's great fun. 3.5/4

James Berardinelli - Despite regurgitating elements from the founding trilogy, Jason Bourne represents the best the series has yet offered. 3.5/4

Rolling Stone - Damon owns the role and the movie. It's a tense, twisty mindbender anchored by something no computer can generate: soul. 3.5/4

Critics' Reviews for BAD MOMS

Rotten Tomatoes: 64% approval rating (57 out of 89 critics like it)

Critics Consensus: Bad Moms boasts a terrific cast and a welcome twist on domestic comedy -- and they're often enough to compensate for the movie's unfortunate inability to take full advantage of its assets.

Entertainment Weekly - Beneath all of its hard-R partying, rebellious debauchery, and profanity, it taps into something very real and insidious in the zeitgeist. It's one of the funniest movies of the year-and one of the most necessary. A-

New York Daily News - If you've birthed a tiny human or know someone who has, it's time to find a babysitter, call the girlfriends and get to "Bad Moms" - the raucous, sexy and crass comedy packed with loads of mother-funny jokes. 4/5

Newark Star-Ledger - If only these "Bad Moms" were a little worse, their movie would be a hell of a lot better. 2.5/4

Richard Roeper - Something tells me a lot of good moms will find some real truths contained within the bawdy antics of Bad Moms. 3/4

Rolling Stone - The movie cops out by going soft in the end, but it's still hardcore hilarity for stressed moms looking for a girls night out. 2.5/4

 

[EvilDDS]

Saw Bad Moms today, I found it hilarious. Made me want to call my mother afterwards, some sniffly parts.

Kathryn Hahn is hilarious, as is Kristen Bell. Mila Kunis does an excellent job. Married dudes, take your wife, others take your gf's. They'll love it, and you'll have some laughs too.

End credits where the actresses chat with their moms is a nice touch. Jada Pinkett Smith's mom looks so young

8/10

 

[EvilDDS]

And the previews, they showed a movie with Jason Bateman, Jen Aniston, Olivia Munn that looked funny, didn't catch the name, but the premise is a secret office Christmas party they try to throw, looks like Jen Aniston is the boss who doesn't want the party to happen

Edit. Ha, well I'm dumb, it's called Office Christmas Party

 

[ExitLUPin]

This sucked. Semi ruined a GOAT trilogy.

 

[Peteyandjia]

Into the Forest looks interesting. I will probably check that out.

 

[Pugilistic]

Bourne was meh.

And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories.

Looks like a good week for movies at the cinemas. All five films have a good RT score (all are 82% or above).

Sausage Party

7/10


There were funny moments throughout. I'm numb to racist jokes , sexist jokes and violence so I'm running though some of them that gave me a chuckle in my head and thinking this would piss a lot of people that take things way too seriously. It also pokes fun at religion and has an eyeful of suggestive scenes that will make homophobes cringe. Also very cheeky in that it's a parody or satire of Pixar's Toy Story.

[lion paw]

Sausage Party will beat all mentioned above at the box office. Blood father looks good, but has a limited release. Pete's dragon, idk. That movie with meryl streep will get good reviews.

 

[heavyarms21]

I'm going to see Pete's Dragon tomorrow , I liked the original as a kid and I like Robert Redford a lot.
