The Latest Movie/TV show You Watched Topic 2.0

Instant Family - Wow, a movie with Mark Walhburg that I actually liked. It's got a good message that wasn't overly cheeky, and heartwarming characters. Going into it I thought it would be a straight up comedy, but it's not and was better than I expected. 7/10.

Angel Town, this was a very fun film. I shouldn't be surprised by the fact that there is always going to be some great movies to discover.

The plot is nothing too special, your standard martial arts hero saves a poor neighbourhood from street gang. But the acting is top notch and the action keeps coming strong and fast.

Us.

Jordan Peele's sophomore film after Get Out. It's basically a mix of The Strangers and Body Snatchers and I must say the results are kinda mixed. The first and second act are entertaining, but the third act (especially the final scene) was somewhat sluggish and boring. It's an enjoyable first time viewing, but nothing I would rewatch.

7/10

The Autopsy of Jane Doe( Netflix )

Good stuff. Wish more horror movies were like this. If I'd seen this in a theater, I'd have been happy. Anyone who likes scary movies should check this out...

Watched Terminator 2 for the first time in probably about twenty years.

Yeah, it's every bit as cheesy and half-assed as I remembered, if not more so. There really is only the one worthwhile Terminator movie.

I just watched Finding Nemo while babysitting. Very underwhelming in the shadow of its mountainous praise. I'm just not a fan of the rapid pace that allows for nearly no breathing room, and the amount of convenient coincidences that pile on mercilessly (so a pelican just happens to enjoy dentistry as a spectator sport?). And this might be silly, but I find it disturbing when animals are portrayed with human expressions in cgi animation. It just feels unnatural.

On a slightly related note (Disney and water being the main themes), I saw Moana a short while ago and thought to myself "Wow, I had no clue a movie could be so whitewashed despite there being no white characters."

Watched Terminator 2 for the first time in probably about twenty years.

For some reason I'm relieved to see someone say this. I understand its appeal but when I get right down to it it's a very empty experience that leaves me scratching my head.

Hellraiser:

Extremely good. One of the best horror films of the 80's. Not for the weak-stomached though.

9/10

A true classic.

I quite like Hellbound: Hellraiser II as well (although the older I get, the more strongly I prefer the original).

The Silence. Just watched it on Netflix and it the latest in the "don't make noise" subgenre of horror. I found it to rather dull, and the more I thought about what was happening the more it doesn't make sense that these small pterodactyl looking things causes the world to change over night.

Also, the film has human villain who makes the stupidest face while trying like hell to be threatening. He's pretending to snarl while not making a noise, it is so fucking stupid i felt bad for the poor actor. I think that this will perfect riffing material for MST3K or Rifftrax.

Fuller's The Steel Helmet. Great documentation of an often forgotten war. A couple of corny bits and production flaws don't detract from it's raw direction.

[Monster Zero]

Fire In The Sky - That was pretty interesting. Good movie.
A Boy And His Dog - A fun little romp that got really fucking weird at the end. It was entertaining, though a little fucked with the sexism and all that.
Threads - Holy fuck I didn't know what I was getting into when I put this on. I should've researched this movie. See, I'm a huge fan of horror movies and I can handle pretty much everything... But then I put Threads on. I knew the main premise: A realistic look at what a nuclear holocaust would be like. I was interested. I put it on, it's a slow start, and then BAM! Everything just hit the fan. The scene of the bombs going off was fucking terrifying and the image of the woman with the melted face will haunt me for a long time. Though my reaction makes it seem like I hated it, it's actually the opposite. It was... definitely an experience. I can't say I loved it or I enjoyed it, because it's definitely not an entertaining movie at all... And I can only imagine what it was like to watch this movie back when it first aired... When the Cold War was still raging on...

Black Summer on Netflix. Anyone seen this? WOW is it intense!

[godzilla98rules]

I would've posted this the other day, but due to a setback, I had to wait til now.....

Frozen (2013):

After a long time of avoiding this film because of its over saturation, I saw it on Blu-Ray for a cheap price and gave it a look. Overall, unsurprisingly, it was pretty good. The animation is gorgeous, the music is great, and the characters are fun and entertaining. I was thankful that the song that drilled into my head when this film came out didn't bother me this time around. Seeing the build-up to "Let It Go" allowed me to appreciate it more than annoy me. If I had one negative thing to say, it's that Hans was an unneeded villain. In these kind of movies you do need some conflict for the Protagonist to engage in. The problem with Hans is that this film already has the conflict: Elsa's power. With the concern and fear over what Elsa can do and how Anna can help her gave the movie the conflict it needed, making Hans just stick out like a sore thumb. Other than that, this film was as good as people have said it is.

4.5/5

Black Summer on Netflix. Anyone seen this? WOW is it intense!

I just finished watching this the other day on Netflix since I'm a huge fan of any and all things zombies, and I must say it's pretty good. It's a little slow and repetitive in spots, but overall, me like.

I'm hoping we get a season 2 that shows the military's perspective.

Bruce Lee Fights Back from the Grave (1976):

Pretty entertaining. Didn't know what was going on most of the time though.

7/10

[KManX89]

I just rewatched the unrated version of Dawn of the Dead (2004) the other day, and it still holds up fairly well to this day. The added story scenes and gore effects made an already pretty good zombie movie that much better. This movie proved that Zack Snyder can and has made good movies, though it still doesn't hold a candle to the original. Then again, nothing touches the original DotD except for maybe Night of the Living Dead, another Romero classic (R.I.P.).

[MikeSTZillak]

New Police Story (2004)

Pretty damn good. Jackie Chan was awesome as always.

9/10

[Tyrant_Lizard_King]

Finally started watching Warrior on Cinemax. A period martial arts/crime drama set in the late 1800s and based on ideas and concepts originally conceived by Bruce Lee. Pretty good so far. Of course being on Cinemax there's a lot of senseless sex and nudity but the main guy is pretty badass and the fights scenes have been pretty good.

[KManX89]

I'm watching a movie called Captivity on HBO Go. First thought just a few minutes in: "what am I watching?" This movie is fuckin' disgusting, and that's putting it lightly. I don't mind a little hard violence here and there, but this movie is gross just for the sake of it. I'm surprised HBO even wanted this on their streaming service TBH. It's too bad because Elisha Cuthbert should be able to make anything watchable by herself, yet I already feel like shutting this shit off. I know the Saw movies are disgustingly violent and gory (at least 3-onwards fit the mold), but at least it has a point to it with Jigsaw's whole appreciation of life angle. This just aims to be vomit-inducing just for the sake of being vomit-inducing.

Seriously, I may need a puke bucket after this. 

Oh, and apparently, there's an Unrated Version of this available. Oh God, I don't even want to THINK about how much worse it could be, I'm watching the standard version.

Re-watching Hilda currently.

These are the kind of cartoons that needs to get made more. Not ones you see nowadays where they rely on slapstick humor and potty humor...
