Typically I don't like the arthouse type movies much anymore, but I felt like both of them there's a chance I'll enjoy it. Let me know what you think about this. I hear nothing but rave stuff about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nex_Gen Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Days of Future Past. Yep. It still is one of the better superhero movies ever made. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamRod Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 With Parasite winning Best Picture felt like a good time to revisit Snowpiercer. The scene where they fight the men with axes is so badass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not independent and Its a fairly high budget international movie with mass appeal. Lighthouse is great as long as you take it for what it is instead of what it is not. William Dafoe should have gotten a best acting nom. WHY"D YA SPILL YER BEANS? HARK YE HARK! YE LIKE ME LOBSTER!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamRod Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Gemini Man Interesting premise but it's ultimately wasted. The CGI wasn't great but settled into it after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Really don't understand the hype of the original Blade Runner. I watched both the final cut and BR: 2049 on Wednesday night and BR: 2049 was the far superior picture. It was just so much more well put together and actually had a story line that I could follow that didn't make me go "wut." Someone make me understand why BR was such an iconic film? It was poorly acted, poorly written and really choppy. I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just so well-made that everyone who says they liked it is just convincing themselves that they liked it when they didn’t actually like it. I’ve tried to enjoy it three times. Convinced myself once I liked it. Questioned myself the second time. The third time I was honest with myself. As far as entertainment, it is absolute crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was missing something lol. I get it from an era standpoint in film-making but, good lord, is it just totally bland and not very good. Totally different from how I felt about 2049. I really enjoyed 2049. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrILL! Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Sonic turned out to be a fun movie and my kids loved it. Ben Schwartz was hilarious as Sonic (he's so good in the brilliant DuckTales TV show on Disney+). Jim Carey channeled some of his 90's zany performances for Robotnik. The Quicksilver/X-Men ripoff/homage scenes were funny and well done. They used the rings in a better manner than the game or cartoons ever did. Of course there were tons of story problems for adults to pick apart put pretty remarkable that Paramount salvaged what looked to be a disaster of John Carter proportions.

Apparition Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Parasite Did not expect it to get as intense as it did. Loved it, though. Slides nicely into that Nightcrawler/Sorry to Bother You canon of 21st century films that have great commentary on class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfatron Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 the Other Guys is hilarious, and i rewatched it, and had to turn it off because Rob Riggle annoyed me so much sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
