mirkwood Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Spectre. What an awful movie. I think they made it just because Craig said it was his last Bond movie. They should have skipped it. 0/5 stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MormonGator Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Anvil. The Story of Anvil.. Great doc on one of the most influential metal bands in history. I've seen it a bunch of times, but it's still a favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prisonchaplain Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I just watched a filtered version of ROOM. The concept was interesting, but the execution was predictable all the way. There were no twists, turns, surprises, or any unique insights at all. Ironically, there's not even a claim that this is based on a real story--which at least would have made it a C-grade documentary. Ah well, it was only $1 on vidangel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironhold Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 FYI - according to Box Office Mojo, only three films have crossed the $100m US Domestic mark to date: Deadpool ($328m), Zootopia ($142.6m), and Kung-Fu Panda {$136m). Ride Along 2 is at $89.7m. Everything else is below $55m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a ghost story but has lighter moments. By no means as grim or dark as that later masterpiece 'The Innocents'.

unixknight Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Saw The Martian over the weekend. I liked it a lot. It was basically "Robinson Crusoe... In Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!" but it was very well done. Blackmarch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmarch Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Zootopia. Really enjoyed it. Havent enjoyed an anthro story that much since disney's robinhood cartoon, altho if I had to vote between those two i'd vote for robinhood over zootopia.

Ironhold Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Just saw Miracles From Heaven. They show a fair bit of detail concerning the medical treatment, so it's not for the squeamish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zil Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Last movie I watched: Me driving around the block on my new "dash cam". Excellent video and audio, with map and mph, and stuff like that. Very cool. Blackmarch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anatess2 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 On 3/12/2016 at 8:58 PM, Ironhold said: 10 Cloverfield Lane. You need to be familiar with the associated ARG (alternate reality game) to understand the background of the film and how it ties in with the larger "Cloverfield" mythos, but if you get too deeply in to the ARG then it'll spoil the film for you. I watched this twice. First time I was hiding behind the blanket for half the movie. Second time I took my kids with me. Kids said it would have been better if they didn't know anything about Cloverfield. They said the "Cloverfield monster" was a bitter disappointment. I thought it was the best part of the film! Okay, so I really loved John Goodman here. And the girl... she as awesome too. Actually all 3 of them were great... all 3 just had the right chemistry!

anatess2 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 London has Fallen. Good movie but the Olympus one was better. Zootopia. It was just ok for me. Watching Superman/Batman later today. I don't expect much out of this movie. I hated the last Superman reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MormonGator Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 The last movie I saw was "Evil Things" an absolutely horrible horror movie. It's from the "found footage" genre (a style I love!) so I was greatly disappointed. You know a movie is in trouble when the characters are falling asleep and you don't blame them because let's face it-if you were in the movie, you'd fall asleep too.

The writing team tried to cram too many story lines into too short a film, which is why the film's as disjointed as it is. Warner Brothers is moving at a stupidly fast pace to try and catch up with Marvel's own movie universe, and so this film was the side effect. A lot of kids were actually very upset in the theater today thanks to the ending that the film had to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.C. will never beat Marvel in the big screen if they continue to make dark, lead-footed movies out of everything. Batman is dark. Gotham is dark. Superman and Wonder Woman are not. So when you make a dark Superman it doesn't work. Yes, the fanatics are now old people, but superheroes are always kiddy stuff. Even the aged fanatics love it because they can be kids again. So having too complicated a plot line that's all adult-angst... flop. Marvel succeeded because it's fun and doesn't take itself too seriously... the ones that do - Wolverine, XMen 2 and 3... flop. The current X-Men is more adult but they throw in some bones for the kiddos - quicksilver for one. Avengers is super fun. Dark is really... Batman, Deadpool (and even that, Marvel decided to go fun), Punisher... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
