WestRider Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 The Huntsman: Winter's War - 8/10 - Impressive way of prequel/sequel in one movie. I was happily pleased with it Good to hear. I'm one of like 3 people who actually sort of liked Snow White & the Huntsman, so I've been wanting to check this one out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 miss peregrine's home for peculiar children I promised to take my daughter to this. Although, it is a children's movie, it is not a film for small children or even 10 year old children. My daughter hid her eyes several times. It is can be scary. The film develops slowly. The characters develop. There are a few plot holes, but I liked it overall. 7/10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bigglesworth Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Stakeland Very solid indie vampire film. I hate vampire stuff but thoroughly enjoyed this. I am legend kind of vamps. 8/10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Determined to not allow Elizabeth, his beloved, leave him, he reaches deep into his brain to figure out how to save her. Not family friendly. Ha! Saw that one in the theater at a 24-hour horror movie marathon when I was a tenneager. I loved it! Had forgotten all about it, now I have to find it again. All I really remember was... "Do you want a date?" or some variation thereof. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hacksaw Ridge - 8/10 - very good movie. Took the wife to see it and was a bit worried because I had read that it was quite graphic...which it is, but done in a way that just supports the brutality of war instead of being gory for the sake of being gory. So basically, she was fine with it. Almost an unbelievable story, and the fact that it is true is just mind boggling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't Panic Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 The Big Short Obviously has been out for a year now, but holy cow. One of the best movies I've seen in a while. 10/10 ... The acting was good, but the story was just that good and influential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Doctor Strange 7/10 Anything I know about Doctor Strange comes from Marvel 1602 and Venture Bros. That being said, it felt like Marvception: The Last Cloakbender. Visually, it was like that time I took LSD and watched The Lion King in my younger days, mixed with a lil DMT to really drive the existential grandeur home. The Game Boss was like that time Reed Richards talked Galactus into not eating the earth, you know, back before Galactus became Franklin's bitch. I was really worried they were gonna turn Dorrmammu into a space cloud, it had that same feel to it. I don't know if this is because of a lack of creativity at the time from the Comic Writers back in the day, Doc Strange vs the Big D compared to Mr Fantastic vs the Big G. Again, not familiar with the source material. Beyond that, it was an enjoyable flick, and I must say, I want that Tea mug. Will watch again, and is of the visual caliber that makes me want a 4k setup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombking Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 The Wrecking Crew : 9/10 : A documentary about a core group of studio musicians who are who you are really hearing on a whole lot of late 50's and 60's records instead of the actual band members. These guys really did EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Doctor Strange - 9/10 - I really liked it. (Remember to stay for the mid and post credit teasers!) I don't have history with Dr. Strange so it's all new to me. Find it quite funny ... sorry that's spoiler. I think they did a great job of inserting humor in it in some great spots. I get what Infested is saying, but feel it was presented well as its own... or I'm naive enough to like it for what it is. I have to say, the previews for the coming movies look bomb! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkieft Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Dr Strange: Perfect 5/7 I liked it... but I am not sure how I feel about it. The visuals and effects were fantastic, but I felt they were often moving too fast to absorb. As far as character and story, I feel like Strange was a bit too much of a Mary Sue... Just too good at everything and nothing really challenged him. But, I still liked it, 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrizic Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Good to hear. I'm one of like 3 people who actually sort of liked Snow White & the Huntsman, so I've been wanting to check this one out. The only thing I didn't like about Snow White & the Huntsman was Kristen Stewart, she has the emotional range of a hormonal 13 year old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 I thought she was fine. My problem with it was that the three screenwriters didn't seem to have talked to each other at all, and each wrote a very different take on the film, and then the director seemed to be jumping between the three more or less at random. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombking Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 The Howling : 8/10 : Werewolves done modern by Joe Dante. Open with a lady reporter tracking on a serial killer, her wire gets out of range and the cops show up just in time to kill the bad guy who is making some pretty odd growling noises. Nightmares and stress from the event are getting to her so psychiatrist Patrick MacNee tells her to come out to his retreat where everyone seems to only eat meat what possibly could be going on here. Good build to the werwolf fun for a final act. Look for a bit parts played by John Sayles, Roger Corman and Forrest J. Ackerman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Star Trek Beyond 2/5 Yorktown was pretty. Villain was predictable. Blowing up the Enterprise was a given. Curious how they are going to steal a Klingon Ship for the fourth installment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Prometheus. To be honest, kinda just *meh* 5/10 Agreed. Predictable. I called who done what when they were introduced. :( Some fun stuff. Lots of dumb stuff. Bitch wouldn't be doing that [big bad swear word] with staples on her abdomen, 80 years in the future or not.

Purplepeopleeater Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Range 15 - 10/5 - that is if you understand military barracks humor and like zombie movies. If neither of these grab your attention and you dislike Mat Best, probably a 1/10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Satanic (2016). Back when Sphere was first adapted as a movie, I saw a review of it that started "Sphere is a great 90 minute movie. Unfortunately, it's well over two hours long." Satanic takes this even further. It could have been a great episode of some TV show, something tied together by theme rather than plot or characters, something like maybe a new, harder version of The Twilight Zone or something. But they just didn't have enough to stretch it into an actual movie, even a short one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Hot Tub Time Machine - watched it with a buddy who hadn't seen it. They laughed. A lot. I laughed having seen it twice already. Good times. Plus the best credit scene I've seen in quite a while. 10/10 simply for the references, humor and quick n' dirty boy humor and comebacks. Juvenile and silly but if you're expecting Citizen Kane from a movie with the title "Hot Tub Time Machine" then that's on you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombking Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 That Guy Dick Miller : 9/10 : Documentary about veteran character actor Dick Miller. Wonderful interview footage with Dick, his wife, Roger Corman who got him started in acting and many directors and writers who saw him on the screen when they were still kids and love having him in their work.
