2023 Gold Donors Darkstone Posted February 17, 2018 2023 Gold Donors Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Just rewatched this great doco. If you're of my vintage, grew up on arcade games and haven't seen it. You're welcome.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 It was my 10-year-old's turn to pick a movie. This is what we got: "The Emoji Movie" (2017) Inside a teenager's cell phone, a trio of non-conforming "emojis" escape from their program and go on an adventure through the digital landscape, visiting various apps and avoiding anti-virus enforcers. This was one of 2017's most critically-hated films, and I'd say they had good reason. This isn't a movie, it's a feature-length commercial for Spotify, YouTube, Facebook, etc. It's a nicely animated little dumpster fire but that's about all the praise "The Emoji Movie" will get from me.

This one is in my Netflix cue and looking forward to it as the previous 2 installments for me were excellent. It-Again. This 2017 reboot of the Stephen King classic is so very good. I can't stop watching it and I am anxiously awaiting the next installment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Little Pony KarpetRydOFunk Posted February 18, 2018 My Little Pony Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Rec 3: Genesis (2012) Not as bad as the reviews might have you believe, but the first two are just so good. Still, it was a decent gory time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of the usual drug trafficking related 'epic' movies. Not as good as Goodfellas, nor is it as good as The Wolf Of Wallstreet which were made in the same vein. Still, interesting enough to keep me happy for a couple of hours. American Made was ok, it was also similar to recent movie Gold (with Matthew McConaughey) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinsane Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Snow days and some binge watching of nothing earth shattering. My Little Pony The Movie ~ Kids loved this new installment in the pony franchise and I agreed for what it is it was well done. Fate of the Furious ~ These movies are sooooo over the top anymore amazing how they have morphed from the barrio street thugs and their antics in street racing to highly trained and elite secret squirrel spy hunter types. That said still some above average fodder with a budget that could sustain all of us and our kids for ever. A Bad Mom's Christmas ~ "NUff said. Girls behaving badly, Catherine Hahn is a stone cold fox and is certainly worthy of your attentions. Cottage Country ~ This one was a lot of fun and certainly well off everyone's radar. Malin Akerman is gorgeous and Tyler Labine is a solid actor, you will remember him from Tucker and Dale VS Evil. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Freddy Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 "Zombieland" (2009) A nervous nerd, a tough guy and two con-artist sisters make their way across a zombie-ravaged USA on their way to a fabled undead-free zone in California in this cult classic horror comedy. I've seen this one a bunch of times and it never gets old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Freddy Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 "Deep Red" (1975)  A British musician living in Rome witnesses the brutal murder of a psychic, then teams up with a lady reporter to uncover the killer's identity and stop the string of deaths that follow. Dario Argento's mix of European arthouse visuals and American grindhouse gore is nice to look at but the story becomes a confused muddle pretty quickly. That may be due to the fact that the version I watched was the American "theatrical" cut (1 hr, 40 minutes), I'm told that Argento's original Italian release (which runs 20 minutes longer) is easier to follow. Either way, it was an entertainingly weird, gory murder mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 "Inside Metal: The L.A. Metal Scene Explodes" (2016) Part 1 of a 2-part documentary about the early '80s metal boom in Los Angeles. Past and present members of Dokken, Stryper, Quiet Riot, Metallica, Armored Saint, W.A.S.P. and many more tell some good stories and reminisce about the good ol' days, interspersed with lotsa vintage concert posters, photos and video clips. I didn't really learn anything new from this doc, but it was a fun trip down memory lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simo Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Half Baked Thinking about watching Scent of a Woman, has anyone seen it and would you recommend it?

Dead Planet Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Ghost In The Shell (2017) - pretty good sci-fi film... Atomic Blonde (2017) - very good action flick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (2017) Â The third time is the charm for the Web-head, who's been rebooted (again) back to his roots as a dorky teenage science genius. This "new" Spidey is still trying to navigate his awkward high school years while tangling with a gang of crooks led by The Vulture (Michael Keaton) who use stolen alien tech to create super weapons. Cameos by Iron Man, Captain America, and of course Stan "The Man" Lee add to the fun. This 21st century update is a little different from the Spidey I grew up with, but it's more entertaining than the last several Spider-Man movies combined. Color me pleasantly surprised.

CureTheSane Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 My 16 year old daughter wanted to watch Rambo II after seeing First Blood a few weeks ago. I hadn't seen it since it came out. Didn't hold up too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Freddy Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Rainy Sunday double feature: "Happy Death Day" (2017) A self-obsessed sorority girl is murdered on her birthday... and then wakes up at the start of the same day, so she has to re-live it all over again, unless she can figure out who the masked slasher is and stop the cycle. An entertaining hybrid of "Scream" and "Groundhog Day," with some good one liners and a plot that keeps you guessing. I wasn't expecting much from this one but was pleasantly surprised. And then for something completely different... "A Dog's Purpose" (2017) Warm, fuzzy (in both senses of the word) family film about a dog whose spirit is "reborn" into new bodies and lives numerous lives over the decades until he's re-united with the now-grown-up boy who was his best friend. If you don't tear up at least once during this one, you have no soul. Two paws up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Planet Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Guardians Of The Tomb (2018) - decent adventure flick...
