canuckhound73 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Finally saw The Magnificent Seven last night. Solid. I felt they broke it down into its specific parts well. Very entertaining 7.5/10 maybe an 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really cool concept and at least it didn't have another super depressing ending. I HATED this episode. This was as if they said, "We've got 5 episodes penned and need another one due to contractual obligations. How about we borrow a sh*tty script from the Lifetime Network that they won't even use?"

The Bookie Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Faults 9/10 This came ouf of left field, off the radar, and through a solid wall. From a couple of years ago. Starts like a low-rent Coen Bros homage then drifts into one of the weirdest locked room psychological thrillers I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 It (1990): 4/10 First half is good, but obviously (totally) dated. Second half is so dreary, uninteresting, poorly written, and poorly acted--and it literally includes a giant spider beast--that it undoes almost everything that was good about the first half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Doctor Strange - 8.5/10 Pretty good overall, expected this from a marvel movie. Can't wait to see doc strange with the other avengers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookie Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes Without a Face) 8/10 Some old french horror movie I decided to watch on youtube after coming home late last night a little wobbly. Frankenstein type theme - mad surgeon experimenting in his basement. Beautifully framed and shot, couple of squirm inducing scenes I won't be able to unsee. Fun!

Every year, this thread takes a serious turn for the worse between October 15-Halloween. Well that's all the encouragement I need. Sorry I've been waiting for a remake of this movie for quite some time. First time I saw it, was because a reviewer mentioned a gratuitous shot of a naked woman in handcuffs. Was a decent flick 7/10- Has Anne Pappilud(sp)- also was in the original La Femme Nakita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Better Call Saul, Also Mike While We're At It - season 2 - 7.5/10 It kinda feels like two different shows that happen to take place in the same city now. Saul with his law story and Mike doing the Breaking Bad prequel (to be fair I thought his character was the high point of s.1). I really thought they'd tie them back together by the end. Also, while I appreciate the artistic choices of the long shots and montage scenes, eventually it becomes filler of sorts. For ~46 minute content not a ton would happen most episodes. But, complaints aside, still enjoying it moment to moment, episode to episode. Odenkirk appears to have gained a bit of confidence in his acting Both stories are worth following. And they tightened up the plotting compared to s.1 - I really didn't like the turn it took in the finale. At least not getting around to watching it so long means I don't have to wait a year to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started out pretty strong but when it got into the actual back story of "It" and it's history, it just spiraled from there. The last 1/3 of the book complete dissolved any fear factor it previously had going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Vince Gilligan created such amazing characters in Breaking Bad, that the fact that he's telling the story of two characters right now is fine by me.

The Bookie Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Full documentary 'Before the Flood' is streaming free on yt until Nov. 6th. It's a National Geographic doc hosted/narrated by DiCaprio on climate change. Watching it now. Fantastically depressing/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Because my mother in-law has been over for the past two weeks, very limited to what I can watch. Been able to sneak in Black Mirror in the bedroom, though. So, after years of watching horror/terrible horror films over the past several years, because my mother in-law is over, yesterday I watched (for the second time): Captain Phillips It's good. But I really didn't want to watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 rocky horror picture show: first half gets a solid 8. second half gets a piddling 5. overall its somewhere in between. young susan sarandon gets a 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Central Intelligence: haha I can't believe I'm saying I watched it but the misses wanted to watch something light and silly so it did the trick. Kind of funny that Kevin Hart played the equivalent role of the 'girl that needs protecting'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
