Man, Tom Cruise is gonna fuck you up.

I doubt it. He's 20 years older and a foot shorter

Saw Edge of Tomorrow. Wasn't impressed . You could tell 5 minutes in bascially how it was gone to end

If you haven't seen them, I think you'd at least like Edge of Tomorrow and Whiplash.

Sometimes you can just tell from a trailer you're not going to like a movie.

Well you can't complain about not having seen any movies when you refuse to watch movies that people tell you are good.

I thought Unbreakable was his only good movie, tbh. Of course I haven't seen them all soooo

[SPX]

No. Some of those I wouldn't watch with a gun to my head. The ones I did were just okay. Even Gone Girl is highly overated .

I don't HATE hate it, but for the most part yeah I don't like it. As the guy said in that quote, the whole "really, water kills them?" is a groaner of epic proportions that really ruins the whole movie. I mean the entire atmosphere of the earth is water. If it really was holy water, one would expect this point would be expressed in a lot less subtle manner. Also, during M Night Shymalallaldnladingdong's cameo, he tells Mel Gibson he's going to a lake because "they don't like water".

I did enjoy some of the predeterminism. ie: 'Swing away, Merrill' and then we get to see Joaquin Phoenix go to town on an alien with a baseball bat. That was pretty sweet.

I wasn't crazy about the water element but I enjoyed the movie as a whole so much that I was willing to suspend my disbelief. Like I said in an earlier post, I think The Village is his best (which is itself a movie that gets a lot of criticism), but I think Signs is his clear #2.

I'm excited as fuck to see Straight Outta Compton this weekend.

It does look good.

Yeah, I want to see that too

Really, you think Signs sucks? I wholly disagree, but that's another subject really.

As for the theory, you could be right. It's interesting how people can build these sorts of grand theories that, like you say, may have nothing to do with reality. If you want to see the ultimate example of this, watch Room 237 if you haven't already.

But then again, on the other hand, I think the dude makes a lot of interesting points and Shyamalan's work has always tended to have a religious tinge to it so it wouldn't shock me to learn that there's some actual truth here.

The only one of the movies that I though was good is Nightcrawler. The rest..........

Speaking of movies, really haven't seen many good ones in the last 1-2 years

I think 2015 has been pretty damn weak in terms of movies. But 2014 was good.

In 2014 we got Gone Girl, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Birdman, Boyhood, Edge of Tomorrow, Nightcrawler, just to name a few that come to mind.

And I'd like to give special attention to this bad boy:
