Thom Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 No thanks! After 2020 I want some damn Happily Ever Afters! Although, at the moment in the trailer when it mentioned the virus attacking the brain tissue I thought this was going to turn into a massive zombie movie. Quote

But I've supported it since then by buying it on DVD and then again on Blu Ray. -b. Quote
jvmacross Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 Anyone watch this one? Kind of a fun movie with a very predictable ending in terms of his "quest"...still slim picking out there, but this one was not all that bad.... Quote

A girl I dated years ago kind a shot me down when I first asked her out, she basically said "I don't think we have much in common". I replied "That's cool, see you tomorrow and I guess I'll head home, maybe watch Shawshank Redemption tonight". LATER THAT NIGHT We ordered in pizza at her place, watched it & then found out AKIRA was her other favorite... Good times! Quote

505thAirborne Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 @jvmacross Cool, I'll give Love & Monsters a shot, The Head Hunter looks cool, at least for me I'm getting kind of a Ralph Bakshi vibe from the poster. Quote

FYI....I gave The Headhunter a shot...it is sort of slow moving, most of the scenes basically build the dread in your head.....very ominous and the cinematography is very good.....hardly any dialogue, but you know what is basically going on....the end of the movie delivers a twist that was not entirely expected, at least for me....I'd say it's worth the $3.99 rental fee on FandangoNow Quote
sqidd Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 I watched this with the wife last night. Not bad, not good. More a family "drama" than a disaster movie. I was pretty "meh" about it. She liked it a lot. That probably sums it up. Quote

sqidd Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I watched this. It had an interesting premise (that wasn't revealed until the end). It could have been done well. But the movie was pretty horrible. A few notable issues (could be spoilers): Spoiler -Putting a bi pod on a H&K G36C to take a 30m shot. So much wrong on so many levels! -Not working a line like "I'm not the f$%cking Terminator", or something like that in. -Why does the de-commissioned nuclear power plant have power? -If it has power because of some sort of skeleton crew, where are they? -Who has been maintaining the nuclear missiles? -Why so many American cars in the Ukraine? -Why do the Gumps shoot, move and behave like people? -Why do the Gumps carry weapons? Why aren't they built into their forearms? Why not both? -Why are the Gumps carrying what appears to be a gun that shoots .308? Why not a bigger round? Why not a smaller and bigger round (like the Russian Gumps) -Why don't the troops like the Gumps? What solider wouldn't want to send a robot in first? Quote
sqidd Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I watched this too. Not too shabby. Really good for a straight to Netflix movie. The ending is set up for sequels. I'd watch them. Quote
TangledThorns Posted January 17, 2021 Author Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Went old school and watched The Last Unicorn on HBO MAX with my six year daughter, she loved it! I remember talk of a live action remake more than fifteen years ago but sadly that went nowhere. Edited January 17, 2021 by TangledThorns Quote
sqidd Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Watched this last night. Fantastic movie (if it's the kind of movie you want to watch). I'm not sure how to classify it though. I guess it's a drama. But that doesn't really do it justice. Edited January 18, 2021 by sqidd Quote
sh9000 Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 My wife and I are rewatching the Marvel movies in chronological order and we finished Spider-Man Homecoming yesterday. We found it boring in a lot of parts. Quote
TangledThorns Posted January 23, 2021 Author Posted January 23, 2021 Bored and watched Ad Astra on HBOMax last night. Drab and humorless. The kind of movie I'd watch on a international flight (if we still flew) and never watch again. I bet Brad Pitt and the director in their small minds thought it was a smart film. Quote
TangledThorns Posted January 29, 2021 Author Posted January 29, 2021 Last night was throwback Thursday by watching Pulp Fiction. I've seen it dozens of times but it was my wife's first! She was kinda meh about it... But now she knows where I get some of my movie quotes from, lol. Quote

Some you can even apply to real life situations (sometimes at your own risk)! Quote

Ad Astra is one of those movies where after you've watched it you can feel yourself saying "they had a good idea & story to tell" and then it just derailed. It feels like a first draft story and it needed to start from scratch as it feels more like random scenes at times. PULP FICTION, I saw this twice when it first released in theaters and is still one of my Top 10 favorite movies. Tarantino was at his best with this one. I still have Ezekiel 25:17 memorized. Quote
derex3592 Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Pulp Fiction is one of the all time greats! SO many quotable lines! Quote
TangledThorns Posted February 12, 2021 Author Posted February 12, 2021 The Elephant Man is on PRIME and watched it last night, first time in decades. Great movie, love the classic and gothic black & white filming. One of Lynch's best films!! Quote
505thAirborne Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Going to watch this one tonight, looks like a lot of fun. Quote
Dynaman Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Just watched "News of the World". While not a must see movie it a good solid film that is well worth the time to watch. Tom Hanks does a great job, as always, and his young costar is excellent as well. Quote

Watched this over three nights. Good SFX but it's too long and too... Korean? Noticed Kim Tae-ri is in it and she was really good in The Handmaiden that another Macross forumer recommended in this thread. Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 If you want to watch a a movie that will cause your blood pressure to skyrocket from having so much hatred towards a main character or realizing this movie is based on some actual facts that if you are an Elderly person, these court appointed guardians can legally (mostly) take everything away from you, everything that you own including your family, this is the film for you. The highlight is Peter Dinklage as he is just such an awesome actor. Overall it's a good movie and Rosamund Pike proves she's a damn skilled actress. Quote
electric indigo Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 There seems to be a bit of review bombing going on at IMDB with this movie. It looses steam in the second half, but Pike & Tyrion are great – though my favorite scene ist between Pike and Chris Messina as the oily mob lawyer. Quote
