Movie Diary June 2015

I wanted to love it...but I just didn't.

Rewatch

I love Futurama, but I didn't LOVE this. I liked it, but didn't LOVE.

I actually really enjoyed this film. I thought that it was a gritty and realistic look into the world of a modern day teenager in the world of technology. The plot's central elements are ones we've seen before, but Waechter's film puts a fresh, tautly wound spin on them.

Don't even know why I tried...

Least favorite Futurama episode/movie yet :/

I love Kevin Hart. He was really the only reason I enjoyed this movie. Although Hugo's little line at the end was perfection.

The story of a man who becomes an amateur crime scene recorder who begin to blur the lines between observing these horrific crimes and participating in, possible even engineering, them.

Seeing it at the drive in was the best movie going decision i've made since seeing cabin in the woods blind.

It was really humid and kind of hot when we got there, and of course you are in your car/outside. my parents set up chairs next to the car and I sat in the passengers seat and opened the door. Because of that i had to turn the volume way up so they could hear; so I was encased in sound.
Right around the time things started to go awry in the film, lightening started flashing way off in the distance behind the screen. The temperature dropped quite a bit from the start to finish, and during the last 20 minutes it was raining kind of lightly, and still super humid
It felt like I was there. Right there in the jungle with him and a raptor was going to eat me. There was even a huge lightening bolt during the very last frames of the movie when the T-rex looks over the trampled park. OMG.

Rewatching this knowing that it was produced by Jackass and a prank video was a much better experience. The first time I had seen it in theaters with no background knowledge. So I hated it. This time was better.
