Movie Critics Thread

Too all the NFL fans, there is a new movie out there to rent which i watched the other day

Draft Day

Stars Kevin Costner Dennis Leary Jennifer Garner and others

Its a drama kind of Movie which is based on what happens behind the scenes on NFL draft day from the Cleveland browns perspective (I am sure it's a little creative) not much football is seen in the movie but I enjoyed it far more then I thought I would

Kind of like any given Sunday....worth the watch

Draft Day is very enjoyable. A few exaggerations but a good effort.

Finally saw Guardians of the Galaxy on Tuesday and like most I really enjoyed it. I get the music, how they used it as a tool to link Quill to Earth even though he was on this wild space adventure and I think it was very cleverly done. Plus it was an awesome selection of songs (yes I downloaded "Awesome mix Volume 1"). I think my wife is starting to get sick of The Piña Coloda song.

Interesting note. After the first trailer featuring "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede sales for that song increased by 700%

My girlfriend took me to see TMNT (ruddy lucky i know) and in all honesty twas quite enjoyable! Some parts were a tad stupid but in general overall I thought it was quite good, I'd recommend it!

Watched "Flashpoint Paradox" and I didn't get why Thawne was still the same when the world was changed.

Put me down as one who enjoyed Draft Day as well. Given they had the NFL license (unlike Any Given Sunday which had to make up an entire league), I would've rated it higher if they had featured more 'real-life' players. Dan Marino and Brett Favre were great in Ace Ventura and Something About Mary respectively IMO.

I would probably rate this in my top 15 football movies but definitely not in my top 5.

My top 5 football movies -

Any Given Sunday
Rudy
Varsity Blues
Remember the Titans
Friday Night Lights

Just saw an advanced screening of Sin City 2

Awesome!!!

I didn't think that the fwd messages, facebook posts, urban legend, etc about a student versus professor was actually made into a movie.

Watched "God's Not Dead" - too superficial and fake for me.

Anyone seen Felony yet?

[GoktimusPrime]

I finally saw X-Men: Days of Future Past last night. Freakin' awesome!

One question though...

How come Professor X has his original body in the future? I remember him being disintegrated in X3, and I know that his consciousness was transferred into that brain dead patient -- so how does he still look like his pre-disintegrated self? Have I missed something?

Recently saw Kevin Smith's Tusk.

Totally dug it. Michael Parks is incredible, as is the unnamed actor playing the Canadian detective.
