I'm not a Wes Anderson fanboy. I've probably liked about half of his movies. What are your thoughts on his other films?

For me, it was one of those "makes you smile" kind of movies. The quirk humor worked, I thought Ed Norton and Bill Murray played hilarious characters, the cinematography and costumes were vivid and colorful, the children characters felt geniune to me, it was just so unique. That was my take...

Premium Rush doesn't "kind of suck."

Fun, well-made chase film.

Killer Joe is pretty good, but not as good as the hype out there about the movie.

Baseclogger in a Magic Mike screening... :facepalm:

The lead acting is solid and there are some exciting chase scenes, but the supporting cast is weak, much of the dialogue and plot holes made me cringe, and some of the stylistic effects looked dated (this all coming from a self-proffesed JGL and Michael Shannon fanboy)...

Seriously? I've held off b/c of the subject matter but sounds like I need to give it a try...

Not in the theater though.

I adore Michael Shannon's performance in this movie and Gordon-Levitt is always solid... allowed me to overlook the rough edges.

The Best:
Looper (10/10)
Seven Psychopaths (9/10)
Silver Linings Playbook (9/10)
Django Unchained (9/10)
Moonrise Kingdom (9/10)

These Were Pretty Durned Good Too:
Prometheus (8/10)
Argo (8/10)
Wreck-It Ralph (7/10)
Skyfall (7/10)
Lincoln (7/10)
The Dark Knight Rises (7/10)

I Also Reccomend:
Magic Mike (7/10)
The Avengers (7/10)
Lawless (7/10)
The Hunger Games (6/10)
Ted (6/10)
Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap (6/10)

I Was Disappointed, But They Weren't Bad:
Safety Not Guaranteed (6/10)
Killing Them Softly (6/10)
The Master (6/10)
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (5/10)

These Are Kinda Indie/Artsy But They're K:
Jeff, Who Lives at Home (6/10)
Bernie (5/10)
Take This Waltz (5/10)

These Probably Got As Much Out Of Their Formula As They Could:
Safe House (5/10)
Savages (5/10)
Men in Black 3 (5/10)
Haywire (4/10)
The Dictator (4/10)
The Grey (4/10)
The Goon (4/10)

I Was Disappointed, Oh And They Kinda Sucked:
The Campaign (4/10)
Sleepwalk with Me (4/10) ***caveat: I think this material works great as stand-up***
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (4/10)
Premium Rush (4/10)

They Sucked:
Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (3/10)
Mansome (3/10)
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2/10)

I Wasn't Smart Enough To Watch And Had To Turn It Off After 10 Minutes:
Coriolanus

Still Eagerly Anticipating:
Zero Dark Thirty
Killer Joe
End of Watch
The Imposter
Detropia
21 Jump Street

Wouldn't Mind Seeing:
The Cabin in the Woods
We Need to Talk About Kevin
Chronicle
Rampart
Project X
Casa de Mi Padre
The Pirates! Band of Misfits
Your Sister's Sister
To Rome with Love
Cosmopolis
Dredd
Cloud Atlas
Flight
This Is 40
If the ones I've seen, this is a pretty good list. I'd bump up Killing Them Softly and DKR. And I'd drop Savages to They Sucked.

Killer Joe and Cabin in the Woods were really good.

I'd also agree that Looper was the best of all.

Re: Official RedsZone Movie Thread (pt. III)
I watched a really cool doc last night called "Searching for Sugarman" about a singer songwriter from the 60s and 70s named Rodriguez. I don't want to give away the story, but it was really really good.

Re: Official RedsZone Movie Thread (pt. III)
Has anyone seen that documentary about those tiles that have been popping up all over the world? Can't remember the title, I'm sure someone here knows what I'm talking about...

Really odd but pretty fascinating...

That was a documentary? I thought that was a NyQuil hallucination I had.
