Hugor Hill Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 11 hours ago, Monty said: Anon Netflix movie starring Clive Owen and some girl. Horrible. Absolutely horrible. The idea itself was interesting, so props to the writer for coming up with an interesting idea for the foundation of the film. Shame on writer/director Andrew Nichol (Gattaca, Truman Show) for coming up with such a terrible story once he put pen to paper. So uninteresting. Speaking of Nichol, has anyone else fallen off a cliff more than he has? Ever since Truman Show (which he only wrote), he has only come up with duds. And not just duds, by awful films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Wife’s birthday was a week and a half ago, while mine was yesterday. So we’re getting a sitter tonight, have a few drinks, and then watch Solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it in Swedish (trying to improve my Swedish....it isn't working) but love the author and the genre but heard the movie was a mess and it would ruin the good feels I had for the book.

Rob_Zepp Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Just off a very long flight. Watched Lady Bird - knew nothing about it and thought it was great. Some really good acting. Harmless movie, well-directed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Solo: Another Star Wars Story Fatique has fully set in to these additional films. Didn’t feel attached to any of the characterather. A little boring and empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 A Quiet Place: 8/10 If you are going to review a movie, I think it is good to rate it on what it is, not on what you wish it would have been. However, sometimes you just wish a movie took a great idea and went in a different direction with it. I think that everything about this movie was great but that it could have been much better. 95% of the movie happens in the span of a couple hours. It was just too intense. I would have preferred backstory, character development, understanding what happened, why they were on the farm, etc. Maybe this is unreasonable given that it is a movie and not a TV series, but sometimes I found myself just wanting a break .

Monty Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Washing the extremely bad taste of Anon and the “meh” of Solo out of my mouth by watching the 1959 version of Ben-Hur. This will be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift-4 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Solo - justalright/10 This movie could have been so much more for me. It wasn't bad like Last Jedi. But still a far cry from being great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was more like Rogue One, in that you didn’t care about the characters at all. They didn’t do poorly in their roles, even replacement Han. He was fine. It’s just that it was completely hallow. And, for a heist film, not really fun. I will say that the dynamic between Han and Chewy was handled well and was fun. However, the robot was not as bad as Jar-Jar, but she was close. #Feminism-Bot 3000 #RobotLivesMatter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would stop. Best part about Rogue One was no love interest. Han-Leia worked but it isn't going to work that well every time. Spoiler I am not sure a Han that is scorned by his first love fits with the Han we know from the original trilogy.

nuckin_futz Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Atomic Blonde 6.5/10 Mildly entertaining, good use of late 80's music. Full disclosure - Really only a 5 but , 1 point for starring Charlize Theron, 1/2 point for Charlize nekked. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
