Maureen Posted November 29, 2016 Report Posted November 29, 2016 I saw Moana, it was wonderful. M. Quote
Ironhold Posted November 30, 2016 Report Posted November 30, 2016 Also saw Moana. Music and animation were good, but the writing was a bit rough in places; past a certain point, it was hard to feel sorry for some of the characters. Quote

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). Have you seen the Kevin Kline version of Hamlet? Very good! Quote

Vort Posted November 30, 2016 Report Posted November 30, 2016 Here he is, in the flesh, along with Linda Ronstadt and a few other random people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1dy44jV8EM Quote

Guest Posted November 30, 2016 Report Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Watched an edited version of the best movie of all time, The Terminator, thanks to Clean Play DVD! Funny how the movie goes from being R-rated to PG-rated, once they take out all the cussing... (Oh OK, maybe PG-13 rated...) Edited November 30, 2016 by DoctorLemon Quote

I'm not sure which characters you found repellent; I thought they were all entertaining and quite likeable. I enjoyed the idea that one of the characters might be considered a "bad guy" and then come to realize that this character was very likeable and even funny. M. Quote

Moana keeps getting bogged down with her own indecision, and Maui is a bit of a blow-hard about his hook. Quote
mirkwood Posted December 1, 2016 Report Posted December 1, 2016 Daylight's End. 3/5. If it had not been a lower budget movie this could easily be a 4/5 star movie. Quote
Ironhold Posted December 3, 2016 Report Posted December 3, 2016 "Incarnate". I'm pretty well sick of R-rated horror films at this point, as it seems like nobody can do one without botching it. This one had an interesting premise, but they kept throwing twist after twist at it until it dropped. Quote

anatess2 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Posted December 9, 2016 Jack Reacher 2. The whole time I was thinking... Man, Tom Cruise is oooold! He looked and moved like a rusty tractor. I enjoyed Cobie Smulders though. She's awesome. She's even more awesome here than she is in Avengers and she is already awesome there. Inferno. I don't know... it was just blah to me. I didn't read the book even. I was more interested in checking out the actress that is gonna be on Rogue One - which I can't wait to see on opening day next week! @Vort, I'm still desperately seeking your review of Arrival. You need me to send you a ticket or what? Quote
Vort Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 Is it in theaters now? I kind of think it won't be Sister Vort's kind of movie, so I might have to wait for it to come out on video (or sneak off to the movie theater sometime). Quote

It's got some chickiness to it... love story and family and all that jazz... yes, theaters. Won't be on video for a while since it's popular... Quote
Vort Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 We have a date to see it tomorrow. Here's hoping... Quote
