If anything I could say it reminded me just how little I cared about 95% of the characters (The 5% was Jin). Should have really went into greater detail in my comment, like you i really didn't care about the characters other than Jyn,how could you ? she was the only one with a backstory other than her father. You don't really invest in caring about the others like Cassian,hell the only character i did like really care about was K-2SO. The battle scenes in the last 40 to 30 minutes to me made up for the first hour and 20 minutes which i though were a mess.The movie was more of a teaser for the next Star Wars movie in 2017 so i wans't really expecting much.

Alflives Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Saw "Ant Man" online the other day. I didn't mind it for it's humorous side, and I was actually entertained. I just don't get how a guy the size of an ant just doesn't get stepped on, and it's over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has its comedy, but then it sobers up for moments where everything all of a sudden feels very real. They have problems and situations that amount to more than being boiled down to moments to pause and make a canned studio audience go "Awwww....", like in The Big Bang Theory, or any such similar show that's full of awful people. Particularly so as the show has progressed. The last 2 episodes (12 and 13), were specifically made to make you feel a bit emotional. It made me jump from a position about this show being underrated, to one of the show just being outright great. 4 hours ago, Hugor Hill said: How come the commercials / trailers CBC shows us suck so bad? Their trailers make me NOT want to watch the show. I dunno. I can't say the trailers don't accurately depict the show as being one about observational cultural humour, because that's a given with the premise. It does it very well though, on top of other things. It starts off awkward, and not every episode is a hit or anything, but there's a lot under the surface of the show, which is why it picks up as it does.

Yeah I'd definitely like a second opinion on this one. I feel like I missed something big in the fog I was in (literally don't remember how it ended, just that it was very sudden, like I was expecting a whole other act). There should have been something there to tie the three stories together. Maybe there was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookie Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Does Jaws 3 get better or worse if you watch it at Monty's house? How tall is the ski pyramid? Is this a current or archived picture of Monty? These are relevant to the evaluation of Nocturnal Animals. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 In the Valley of Violence 2016 seems to be the year of West Texas and killing the protagonist's dog. Nevertheless, I'm a sucker for a Western. 7.5/10. Liked the chambermaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure1994Mclean Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The Peanuts Movie - 8/10. Absolutely beautiful animation, funny at times, charming story. Rogue One - 9/10. Loved the battle sequence at the end, and how menacing you-know-who was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugor Hill Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Rogue One - 7.5/10 Good characters, but the two leads weren't very charismatic. The supporting cast, including Hannibal and the bad brother from Bloodline, overshadows them. Good storyline. Great battle scene in the end. IMO it's the best battle scene since episode 4. Speaking of episode 4, the worst parts of Rogue One are when they forced to bridge this movie with episode 4. Unnecessary. This is a strong movie on it's own. Leia showing up at the end was so cheesy, like Luke at the end of episode 7. "Hope" Com'on guys.... un-cheesy this for me and Rogue One would be a great movie.

I saw the last one, where Han was killed by his son, and really enjoyed it. I though the actor playing Han's son was brilliant. I thought the guy was Alan Rickman good for being bad.
