thebestever6 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Mandy is fantastic the shots are superb at its heart it's a simple story that we've seen done dozens of times before, but imo it's done in the best way that's a 5/5 for me I loved it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrILL! Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 23 hours ago, thebestever6 said: I saw John Carpenters in the mouth of madness last night because I want to watch his apocalypse trilogy one more to go. I loved the shots, loved the directing, loved the story within the story I don't know if I dug Sam Neil in the lead role something just wasn't working for me. That being said I still give it a 3.5/5 . Loved the ending! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel with a true A list type lead this is up there as one of Carpenters best films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minutemancl Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I saw The Fall Guy on streaming Saturday night and loved it. What an awesome, awesome movie. I've said it before and I'll say it again (and again and again), but nobody does physical comedy as well as Ryan Gosling. It's unreal.

Bowler1215 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Deadpool & Wolverine was a lot of fun. The opening action sequence to Bye Bye Bye was fun. I thought the villains were on the weak side, especially Paradox. My audience was roaring at the end credits scene. But the banter between Deadpool and Wolverine was great, along with the times they're kicking butt, whether it's each others or bad guys. Very fun, funny and enjoyable movie. I just wish it had better villains. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really amazed by foreign movies you have masterpieces like this and godzilla minus 1 made for 8.5 million and 10 million respectively. In amaerica you'll be lucky to get a good movie with 5 times the budget lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. I love how the actual tough threats are done first, and then he has to deal with the real revenge stuff after and just mows em down That scene of nic cage chugging the alcohol while that cartoon commercial plays And i love the slow early burn and its never boring either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chainsaw scene was awesome to me to Idk it felt like it was paying a nod to phantasm 2. I love the character building and atmospheric building It makes it predictable yet completely satisfying. My favorite type of revenge story is Man on Fire with Denzel, but this movie will definitely be played was well when I'm in the mood because they're things about it I absolutely love that you don't necessarily get in man on fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) The Gentlemen is a movie that has aged really well in my opinion. I dare say that it might be my second favorite Guy Ritchie movie only after Sn@tch. Just tremendous character work from a large portion of the cast, but particularly from Colin Farrell, Charlie Hunnam, and Matthew McConaughey. I think the ending got a little too mixed, but it still works and the story really drives through well. If you haven't given this one a watch, it's on Netflix currently.

INbengalfan Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 On 7/10/2024 at 8:08 AM, THE DUKE said: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was a mess, but all in all it was more enjoyable than I expected. Where it really worked was the interactions between Mamoa and Wilson, they have good chemistry and most of the humor that lands comes from their interactions. Story was a bit all over the place, may as well have called it Aquaman and the Lost MacGuffin, the lost city is just a tool to get where they want to go much more than any real part of the story. Mamoa leaned a little too hard into the Dude Bro persona to be taken entirely seriously though, but at least his sense of fun is a bit infectious. However, when it's time to be serious, it doesn't really land either. Atlantis also comes off as a bit incompetent and a bit genocidey considering the council pretty much only talks about wiping out the surface world. C- Agreed. I think the two actors had way more fun making this movie than I did watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I watched Rec last night, and it's a very well done found footage film. There's great tension, a good atmosphere, and escalating situation, a great 3rd act imo. But it's still has the flaws of a found footage movie and I'm generally not crazy about them because there is little to no character development and everything is just random acts. I give it a 4/5 and recommend it but I won't remember it 3 months from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I'm torn on Trap on one hand I think it's Josh Hartnetts best performance ever, and that's saying something because I'm a big fan of the faculty. The trailer gives away everything, alot of instances in the movie stretch beyond your believability. M. Nights daughter can sing but she can not act. This may be the last M. Night movie I ever see in theaters. 5/10 and those 5 rating is because of Josh Hartnett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
