Time for Ryan Gosling to take a sabbatical. Dude's been in 16 movies in the last 7 years. Great for the wallet but oversaturation is setting in.

Just got back from seeing Blade Runner. It's been years since I've been to a theater that I can recall, and I tried not to get my hopes up because I seldom enjoy contemporary cinema.

I tried to put aside the explosions, the overdone CGI, the unnecessary fight scenes, and the action movie one-liners, but after that there wasn't much film left to enjoy.

That's all right though, I didn't go to see the film. I was more interested in how Hans Zimmer would handle it. It was three hours of sawtooth waveforms. Highly dramatic and cinematic. There's no such thing as bad Zimmer but I'll stick to the original Esper Retirement Edition for my soundtrack needs.

Doesn't sound like it's getting an easy ride. I think some movies are better just left alone as the classics they are. Of course, if there's folding green in it...

Source Code for the second time. Love everything about this flick. Oh, and....

Jake Gyllenhaal > Ryan Gosling

*but not by much*

Yes please, I will take a list of what you consider terrible.

CGI wasn't overdone in the Blade Runner 2049. It was so well done that it wasn't distracting at all. They merged practical effects with it seemlessly. I enjoyed it for the most part even though they glossed over a few themes they could have dug deeper into. With that long run time style ruled out over substance and it would have stretched out the movie even more. I need to watch it again but would rather do it at home so I can pause it and see the little easter eggs.

3:10 to Yuma.

With each passing decade it gets harder and harder to pull off a western for mass audiences. This the best since Unforgiven. Hands down.

Bale and Crowe are superb, as are the rest of the supporting cast. Exceptionally made and simply a fun, fun, fun movie watch.

I don't even remember what I said in that little rant about the movie, but I'm sure my thoughts could have been better expressed. If I saw the movie again I could try to give a more level headed opinion on it, but that isn't going to happen for a good, long while yet.

Here's a short, random list of movies that I hate and movies that - like Blade Runner 2049 - just fell very, very short of being a good movie despite great critical and/or audience reception:

-All Christopher Nolan movies, except Interstallar, which I actually like.
-Guardians of the Galaxy
-The Avengers
-the two first Iron Man movies (didn't bother with the 3rd)
-any Shyamalan movie
-any Spielberg movie from the 90's and above. Except Jurassic Park and Catch Me If You Can. Those were good.
-any Villeneuve movie that I've seen: Sicario, Incendies, Blade Runner 2049 of course
-Fight Club, The Social Network, Seven, Gone Girl (all bad movies from the same talented director. I forgive him since he made Zodiac.)
-the Silent Hill movie was terrible. The sequel even worse.
-all Resident Evil movies are complete ****. Even the first one.
-Battle Los Angeles
-Terminator 3 and Terminator Salvation. Didn't watch the newest one because I've learned my lesson.
-both Alien vs Predator movies
-Cubic (aka Equilibrium) and Ultraviolet. Two stylish but dumb action sci-fi movies by the same incompetent director.
-Predator 1 and 2


And as a bonus, a random few action/entertainment/super hero/fantasy/etc. movies that I enjoy, just so you don't accuse me of being a snob or something. Consider this a list of movies NOT to watch then?:

-Sucker Punch
-Reign of fire
-Shoot 'Em Up
-Spring Breakers
-Watchmen
-Xmen 1, 2, Days of Future Past, Apocalypse
-Man of Steel, Batman v Superman
-the Brian De Palma movie Passion. Trashy but fun.
-Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events
-Snow White & the Huntsman
-Maleficent
-The Craft
-The Golden Compass
