TangledThorns Posted October 15 Author Posted October 15 Re-watching Interview With the Vampire (1994) on Hulu with my wife who has never seen it. Though it has 1990s cinema looks (so many wigs!!) it still holds up today. Still think Tom Cruise was miscast as Lestat and I think most will agree. Daniel Day-Lewis would have been a better fit as Lestat imho. May have to check out the series now. Quote

Dynaman Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Love Wallace and Gromit so I'm in. Not a fan of Shawn the Sheep though. Quote

Looks like a bigger, more bombastic, more American Dog Soldiers, aka one of the finest Werewolf films ever made, I'm in! Quote

That was a good case of a great story overcoming no budget and bad effects. Quote

I thought the suits looked pretty good, at the time it was released, compared to, say, the Underworld films, all practical werewolves were awesome. Everyone in Hollywood started switching to ugly CG for everything, Dog Soldiers had a solid story, a bit of heart, and buckets of bullets and blood, it was great! Quote

The underworld suits for the werewolves were really well done, so much so that they didn’t want to use hair, because it would hide all their sculpted details. Dog soldiers did the opposite since they had zero budget and hid the flaws and such with fur and ripped clothes. Two very different approaches to the same monster for various reasons. Quote

TangledThorns Posted October 18 Author Posted October 18 Looks interesting but not enough for me to re-subscribe to Netflix. Quote

I don't remember any physical suits in Underworld except maybe some close-up shots, what I do remember is lots of dodgy CG because they had the wolves do crazy crap no suit actor could do. To each their own, I may be in for another viewing of one of the earlier Underworld films before they fully committed to CG garbage, but I remember Dog Soldiers being head and shoulders more impressive then any other werewolf film since Bad Moon, the Dog Soldier suits looked incredible.

Thom Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Happy with Netflix and will be watching when this comes out. Brown and Pratt, together! The story almost doesn't matter!😁 Quote

Underworld used cg for transformation and some effect scenes, but the Lycans were actual suits. Quote

I’m not super familiar with the true story behind the movie, but it makes it seem like her whole part of it is rather insignificant and more of a distraction from what was going on. It’s also kind of a man hater movie where every male character is either stupid or a rapist or both with the exception of the janitor, but that kind of thing can be ignored in a better movie, unfortunately this one’s just easily forgettable Quote

TangledThorns Posted November 6 Author Posted November 6 Fascinating how well they made Billy Zane look like Marlon Brando. Quote

kajnrig Posted November 9 Posted November 9 Thought for sure I've seen this previewed here already, but can't find the post. Anyway, saw it a couple days ago. Very good, solid movie. Typical high A24 quality. Quote

Thom Posted November 10 Posted November 10 It gives you sooo much, action, adventure, suspense, drama, pretty much throughout the entire movie, and yet at the end you just want 20 or 30 seconds more in order to see Coop and Brand reunite.. and we don't get it. AAArgh!! In that way it reminds me of Oblivion, though at least that one gives us Jack 2.0 seeing Julia and her daughter just before the credits. Quote
