What’s the last movie you watched?

[anatess2]

The Accountant.  Again.  Doesn't get old, this movie.

[beefche]

Dr. Strange. Definitely added to the Avengers universe. 

Cumberbatch was great....I just like him. But for me, the best character? The Cape. The Cape was so quirky, compassionate, loyal, fierce, and just wonderful. 

Stay until the after credits scene....sets up the next movie.

We definitely agree on this one. I might have to go see it again.

That was #4 at the theaters for us!  I wouldn't be surprised if my boys ask to see it 4 more times... we haven't even seen Dr. Strange yet!

Dr. Strange: or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned

I hear the ending is funny, but I've never

Just to clarify for those who are not familiar with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  Marvel has now adopted the tradition of doing mid-credit scenes and post-credit scenes to set up the next offerings of the MCU.  So, in Dr. Strange, the mid-credit scene sets up the next appearance of Dr. Strange in the MCU while the post-credit scene sets up the Dr. Strange sequel.

So, my family has made it a tradition to talk about what we liked, not liked, wondered about, etc. in the movie while the credits are rolling.  So far, the movie audiences have not cared about us moving seats and chattering all throughout the credits as long as we go shhhh during the mid-credit and post-credit scenes.

We did a double-feature:

Dr. Strange at 7:15

The movie was good but I didn't like the abstract imagery.  It looks like how movies portray "tripping on acid".  For a while there I thought one of the masters was Black Panther... those 2 actors could be in a movie where they're twins...

The Arrival at 10:00

Not a good choice for a 2nd movie on a double-feature... this one required a fresh brain to follow.  It was really good though.  I'm going to put this on my list of watch again movies.

Shut-In. 

Yet another 0 / 10. 

[Sunday21]

9 lives. With VidAngel although it is pg. lots of fun. Christopher Wlalken was great!

[Blackmarch]

War of the worlds (the classic one). I loved it

[Sunday21]

The huntsman. VidAngel! Great movie. Editing especially at the beginning has issues. Still great movie. Too scary for kids under 12, IMO.

Me too!

Snowden, great film, really enjoyed it.

[Ironhold]

"Fantastic Beasts"

The film had an alarming tendency to undercut itself thanks to its cliches and its tendency towards foreshadowing to the point of telegraphing. 

And yes, I agree with those individuals who have drawn comparisons between Scamander and The Doctor.

I heard The Arrival was a great movie, and lots of fun for linguistic types (especially for SF-geek linguistic types).

0.6 star. Fractions are so old school.

[beefche]

To Kill A Mockingbird with Gregory Peck. Very good.

Hamlet with Benedict Cumberbatch. Very well done (technically, it's a play that was filmed, but we still watched it on the big screen for a special showing).

 

[anatess2]

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them.

Fun movie with shallow characters.  The shallowness is fine if it gets deepened in the sequels....

Redmayne is one of my favorite actors.

Independence Day Resurgence  1/5 stars.  Ugh.  What a waste...

Hell Or High Water  2/5 stars.  Some funny one liners kept it from being 1/5.

 

[NeuroTypical]

Kubo and the two strings.  Family loved it.  Me too, it's just that when I'm surprised by a movie involving dead parents, well...

I would love for you to give us a full review of this movie.  I'll even pay for your ticket...

I didn't like it.  I'm not quite sure what it is that was just off... Charlize Theron was part of it.  Her voice as monkey was just not quite right with the monkey's expressions.  But it was more than that... the movie just felt off for me.

[anatess2]

Wanted on TNT.  It was rated-R at the movies but it was edited for TV14.  Didn't matter.  The overdubs just made the bad words even more highlighted because you notice it being off (like you get thrown into a Chinese movie all of a sudden) and there's no editing the violence in the movie and the sexual stuff was in your face.  I'm kinda surprised it passed TV14 rating...

So, okay, the movie had a good concept but the cinematography was just too distracting.  Great actors, bad movie.
