I went to see it twice in theaters, just to be sure. It’s okay. Love or hate Crystal Skull, it still had a Spielberg sense of wonder about it that Mangold just couldn’t quite recreate here.
I...
Finally saw Nobody. It was fun, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as others. If anything, it’s Odenkirk’s charisma that carries the movie, but it doesn’t really take it over an average rating. I hope he...
There’s no way Whedon will be involved. He recently did his first in-depth interview about all the accusations against him, and holy crap….he didn’t even attempt to save his name! In fact, he just...
I’m kind of at the point that I avoid all news about the Rona just because it feels like we’re spinning our wheels. Got the vaccines, I take the safety precautions, but other than that I’m just...
Afterlife is now out on digital in the US. Which means you should be able to find a HD rip quite easily right now. ;)
Ever since Arrival, Villineuve is really leaning into science fiction! I’ll certainly see anything he puts out. One of the best directors working today.
:lol:
He handled it like the living legend that he is!
As MZ says, it’s enjoyable enough, we just don’t really know where it’s going yet. By the closing for the pilot episode of Mandalorian, we knew the show was going to be about Grogu(Baby Yoda, at the...
Personal favorite is Ghostbusters Afterlife. Shocking, right??
Others include Dune, I really enjoyed the OTT satire in Don’t Look Up, The Suicide Squad was a bloody fun time, Spider-Man: No Way...
I’m certainly up for a more brutal Batman, but Batfleck was already branding criminals so they’d be murdered in prison and I remember people not liking it….
Nolan’s realistic take was wonderful,...
I’ve enjoyed all three, but the original is the crowning jewel. The sequels have gotten a bit “busy”. Like the Matrix sequels, it’s like they’re taking their ideas too far, when the simplicity is...
The woke whining really does seem to be over the top these days….
I have to give NTTD another viewing, but I was underwhelmed with the first spin. It wasn’t bad, I enjoyed it, just felt a bit flat...
Holy shit, Cody the blowjob guy! Thanks for sharing!
It looks good and Reeves makes good movies, but I can’t really get excited about it. Feels too similar to Nolan’s trilogy and the “ gritty realism” thing is feeling played out. We shall see, hoping...
I liked it! It’s not the first movie at all, yet it references it very heavily. In a lot of ways, this movie feels like Wachowski’s Gremlins 2….
There are some pretty major differences. I’ve seen both and the DC is by far my favorite of the two.
Gonna try to keep it brief because the movie isn’t really out yet, but MZ….you in particular are in for a treat, my friend. As we’ve talked about before, if GB is your Star Wars, this movie is tailor...
I enjoyed this. It’s not as good as Hereditary before it, but still worth a viewing. Several VERY memorable set pieces, it just doesn’t come together quite as well as his previous film.
Last Crusade is often battling it out with Raiders as my favorite of the series. I also enjoy Crystal Skull. There are obviously several issues, but as a whole it works for me…
I rolled my eyes when I first saw headlines about this. However, like Neil, I’m intrigued by it being an anthology series. At least that’s a slightly different spin on this worn out IP.
If you’re worried about spoilers, you may want to avoid the final trailer that will be dropping soon. It doesn’t directly spoil the plot like a lot of modern trailers, but a GB fan such as MZ can...
Looks pretty good. Out of Lana’s recent work, hopefully it’s more like Sense8, which I loved, and less like Jupiter Ascending.
Mike Flanagan has been one of my favorite working directors for several years now. His first season of Hill House was phenomenal, then he made a worthy sequel to The Shining, which I honestly didn’t...
I seem to remember Vaughn saying he had a plan for a trilogy before filming the second entry. I believe it was shortly before he started talking about the idea of a prequel. As you say, the second...
