I should have said closer to the original animated movie, I've not read the book it is based on but I would guess the Disney movie is a good bit different.

Thom Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Looks good. A live action remake of a cartoon original should try to emulate it's look and feel rather than try and be too different. Looking at you Mulan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I just saw this on YouTube last night & the animation is really well done, surprisingly this was not made by a Japanese company. I wasn't sure where to post this though it is considered a "Short Film", so Mods, do your thing if this belongs somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeszekely Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) Dunno where else to mention this, but Cinemark is celebrating their 40th anniversary by playing movies all week from 40 years ago. I'm going to see Terminator tonight and Ghostbusters on Friday. If I can get some friends to go with I also want to see Temple of Doom on Sunday. Haven't decided if I want to go see Gremlins tomorrow or if that's too many evenings spent watching movies that are way better than the movies they make today...

Nah, go watch Gremlins, even if it isn’t Christmas. The greatest Christmas movie of all time came out in the summer as well, so it won’t be so strange. Maybe in a few years they’ll add showings of Die Hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But half the theaters around here closed, and the closest one playing these movies is still a PITA drive.

Still scared of the dark, she won't admit it but I think being in a dark theater makes her anxious by itself. Stuff like Gremlins would probably give her nightmares. As for me, though, my friend I've been going to see these movies with had never seen Gremlins at all*, so I figured even if it's a bit of a PITA to get to the theater we're having fun and we can take turns driving, we went. We'll be back Friday for Ghostbusters and Sunday for Temple of Doom. *He's never seen Robocop, either. Unfortunately that one's not in theaters (as it wouldn't come out for another three years), but I think we're going to have to do a movie night at home one evening.

Gremlins is definitely a great movie and is one of those where the dated comments add to the hilarity. One of my favorite bits of dated lines happened when the guy from the bank tries to flaunt how much money he has by bringing up the fact that he has cable. Robocop is a must watch movie as well and is a true treasure of absolute absurd humor and extreme violence the likes of which really hadn’t been seen in a non horror film up to that point.

mikeszekely Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Ugh, didn't get to see Ghostbusters after all. Don't ask me why it is I go to see Gremlins and there's like four people in the entire theater, but Ghostbusters was completely sold out before I even got there.

505thAirborne Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) So... We just watched HORIZON An American Saga on MAX. Yep, it's a 3-hour plus movie that isn't terrible, or the worst film ever made, but it is no Dances with Wolves or Open Range, films that Kevin Costner clearly thought through from start to finish. HORIZON has a lot of faults, above all is a weak script & dialog, way too much back & forth, one minute you're in Montana, then Wyoming, Western Kansas then Apache territory & back again & again & again. Also, too many characters that don't really matter... like, you don't know them on any personal level, the final frustration is the last couple minutes of the film, it feels completely out of place. Kevin Costner's character & the female costar he's with almost plays out almost like Tom Selleck's character in "Quigley Down Under". (You either loved that duo's chemistry or you didn't.) Cinematography & costumes are top notch, no expenses spared there. The musical score is decent but hiring Bear McCreary, John Williams or Hans Zimmer would have been a better choice. In the end, it's a 3-hour movie where lots of things are happening, but it's so incoherent at times it makes it hard to stay focused. Maybe Part 2 will be better at putting the pieces together but, I'm not holding my breath. Edited August 26 by 505thAirborne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
