Impact Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 From yesterday: Lone Survivor 2:50 PM About 75% full, mostly older people. Trailers: That Awkward Moment: Looks a little too serious, some laughs. Robocop: Not much. Railway Man: Never heard of this till yesterday. Looks interesting. Non Stop: Does not look that bad. Though don't see if you are afraid of flying! Transcendence: Best trailer, looks pretty good. Neighbors; Some laughs-I hope Rogen destroys Effron in it Movie: Really good. Controversy is dumb behind this to be honest. I think this should of been nominated for more (Actor, screenplay and cinematography). It was sad also but well made. Audience really loved it.

stripe Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 12 Years a Slave Jan 21, 22.20, 35% full (almost everyone over 35 years old) Cinesa Diagonal, Barcelona Trailers Mindscape - my wife is really anticipating this Saving Mr Banks - no reactions. I'm very interested in this film, though American Hustle - some talk. Best reaction Film Very solid, with many intense and memorable scenes but I had a few problems. Some scenes were too long. Some characters were underdeveloped or finished apruptly. From my point of view, this is too cold/hard to take the Oscars. I found interesting that no one complained about the hard Patsey's whiplash scene . Just reminded me of Passion of the Christ controversy Audience reactions were correct, but near me there was an old couple that were annoyed with the length and the slow pace the movie has at certain scenes. 8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekShooster Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 That Awkward Moment 3:45PM Friday, January 31st AMC Boston Common 19 & Lie-MAX Theater Capacity: ~250 (25% full, everyone looked to be in their 20's and crowd was a bit female-leaning... no surprise for this genre of film, though) Ticket Price: $10.75 Concessions: Powerade, $4.25 TRAILERS: See No Evil - pretty scary trailer, good reaction Veronica Mars - never watched the show, but the trailer was funny and got a good reaction Neighbors - awesome trailer, lots of talking, and great audience reaction About Last Night - looks okay I guess, got some giggles from the ladies A Haunted House 2 - very funny trailer and great reaction, lots of laughs The Other Women - more giggling, looks interesting Bad Words - YES! JASON BATEMAN!!! SO FUNNY!!! THE FILM: Whomever wrote this movie should be banned from writing screenplays ever again. That Awkward Moment was such cheesy, predictable garbage story-wise that I'm left wondering why the talented young actors in it agreed to participate in the first place. The movie was funny in doses and dramatic in others, but so much of it feels disconnected and improbable. I really do believe Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Imogen Potts, and Mackenzie Davis are talented actors and have believable chemistry with each other on screen. I just cannot get past the garbage scenarios they had to work around. When awkward moments were played for comic effect, they worked brilliantly. But any time there was an awkward moment that was sad, dramatic, or just plain wrong, you could actually hear audience members commenting disapprovingly in the theater (*actually, there was this moment when two people "break up" in the film that a guy in our audience shouted, "NO!" like Carl Fredricksen in the first couple minutes of Up... that was funny!). The film's music is great--it has some sort of 1980's, John Hughes vibe which I really dig. And based on my own personal experiences in New York City, I liked that they shot seemingly everything on location and actually show the city for how it is--not how some movies make it out to falsely be. But overall, the pic ended with me giving a big thumbs down to the screen. It works 50% of the time as a comedy--that might be enough for some people, but it wasn't enough for me. Experience - 25/30 Story/Writing - 4/20 Acting - 13/15 Tech Specs (Editing, Effects, Cinematography) - 11/15 Directing - 5/10 Music - 9/10 THE VERDICT: 67/100, C Comments, Likes, and Feedback are always appreciated.

DerekShooster Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The Lego Movie 11:25AM Friday, February 7th AMC Boston Common 19 & Lie-MAX Theater Capacity: 300 (10% full; almost entirely families with young children) Ticket Price: $7.00 (Still cannot believe how much cheaper early morning shows are) Concessions: N/A TRAILERS: (*side observation - every time a new trailer would start, the same group of kids in the theater would say, "The movie's starting!", quickly followed by, "NO! That's another preview." It was kind of adorable.) The Boxtrolls - great little featurette about how the stop motion movie is made; some whispers from the kids watching. Muppets Most Wanted - lots of talking and laughing; best reaction from kids. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - great trailer, lots of talking, and the kids like it a lot too. I can't wait for it. Mr. Peabody and Sherman - funny trailer... very loud laughs at the quick "Ooh La La!" line. Island of Lemurs: Madagascar - shot in IMAX and looks very stunning. No reaction from crowd. THE FILM: "Everything is awesome!" These three titular lyrics of The Lego Movie's signature song very accurately summarize the movie best. The imaginative-yet-familiar Lego universe projected on screen is such a feast for the senses, it feels like a mash-up of the Toy Story and Wreck-It-Ralph universes... in LEGO! But the line delivery and overall screenplay are real treats as well for people of all ages and genders. The A+ voice cast did spot on work for each of their characters, especially Will Arnet as Batman and Elizabeth Banks as Wyldstyle. Some of the jokes alluding to big industry aimed for the older viewers (Lord/President Business, moments of B-rated stop motion/puppetry) left a few others and I belly laughing in the theater. But so much of the humor was non-crude slapstick and situationally awkward, everyone in the theater really identified with it. Also, whomever came up with the names for one of the Lego lands based on Middle Earth deserves a medal. The music was very catchy and changed expectedly for multiple Lego realms/worlds that the characters ended up in, but I guess I would've liked it more if there was better cohesion there. The direction was spot on. All things considered, the graphics were phenomenal. And the screenplay is a slam dunk. Everyone in our theater loved this movie, and by the sound of it every child and adult walking out of that film wants to play with Lego bricks immediately. If you enjoyed Toy Story (1-3), Wreck-It Ralph, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and have watched any major, big budget blockbusters in the last 20 years, you will fall in love with The Lego Movie. Experience - 27/30 Story/Writing - 19/20 Voice Acting - 15/15 Tech Specs (Editing, Effects, Cinematography) - 15/15 Directing - 10/10 Music - 8/10 THE VERDICT: 94/100, A Comments, Likes, and Feedback are always appreciated.

Not good, not bad, just ok. Which is kind of a disappointment when you think of the cast involved. Dragged in some points. Balaban and Murray were the highlights for me, with Cate and Matt's story being the low point. The crowd was mostly senior citizens so not much reaction when it was over.

Mr. Peabody: Quite a few laughs, looks better then the show, not that its hard to do. Lemurs of Madagascar: Amusing comments how they look nothing like King Julian Movie: Very funny and clever. Best film of 2014...Oh wait I pretty much figured that it was a kid playing with his toys after some of the sound and stuff The lego characters were funny, I thought the spaceman was the best character. The style of animation was good.

foleef Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 RoboCop 2/17/14 12:00 PM 50% Full(or is it 50% empty) Regal Cinemas-Kingston, MA Trailers: Brick Mansions--you could hear people talking when they saw Paul Walker, a few awwws Noah X-Men: Days of Future Past--I think it's time for a new trailer The Purge: Anarchy--if you know the Purge is happening, then why are you even out on the road?? The Amazing Spider-Man 2 22 Jump Street Movie: I'll admit I've never seen the original RoboCop all the way through, so it's hard for me to determine if this remake adds anything new to the story. But what I did get was the feeling of a political undertone. Most recently, the city of St. Louis was proposing using drones to search and scan the city for illegal activity. It raises the question of whether or not as a society do we want a machine to do the job of a police officer. In a way I feel as though this movie was trying to tackle thus issue and in many aspects succeeded. This wasn't just a shoot em up popcorn flick, but it also had an agenda that tackled real world issues. I'd give it a solid B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
