metaltrekman Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Just finished watching "Transformers The Last Knight". Im not big on the transformer movies, but Ive seen them all. This one was pretty good. Always Lots of CGI/Special Effects. War For The Planets Of The Apes. Really enjoyed this one. I think its my favorite of all the ones Ive seen. And For Anyone that is old enough to have seen/watched the originals or the TV show there were hints/references to those old ones. Or clues to things that went on in them.

CureTheSane Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I was debating whether to watch either of those two movies. Transformers is pretty old hat now - best thing that came from them is the ride at Universal Studios which is pretty wicked. Would have been nice to wrap them up in to 3 movies and call it a day. Same with Planet Of The Apes. My favorite is the Mark Wahlberg movie. Also love the original. I've seen the more recent movies and they are a bit yawny. I'll probably see these. Hopefully going in with low hopes will hold me pleasantly surprised... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 ^^ Cool, man -- glad you enjoyed it. I hadn't heard about it either, till my kids (both avid YouTubers) asked me if I'd seen it. Apparently it's been blowing up big time on the F13 fan circuit. Who knew?

Fat Freddy Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Back on topic: Since it's the last weekend before Halloween, we'd usually be OD'ing on horror movies around my house. Unfortunately, we had to have our old dog put to sleep yesterday ... so to make my 10 year old son feel better I watched this with him while we both had a good cry. "Hotel For Dogs" (2009) A pair of street-savvy orphans and dog lovers (one of whom is played by a young Emma Roberts) set up shop in an abandoned luxury hotel and turn it into a secret hangout for stray pooches and the kids who love them. Naturally, they can't keep it a secret forever and soon they have to protect their pups from Animal Control and the police. Charming, silly kid stuff with lots of cute canine hi-jinks, just what the doctor ordered after a rough day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Back in the Halloween groove... "Trick 'r' Treat" (2009) Michael "Krampus" Doughterty's way-cool "Creepshow" style anthology of scary tales set in the same small town on Oct. 31st is tons of spooky fun and has become a Halloween perennial for me.

This one is quite good indeed. Watched the latest Transformers and it was fine by me SPOILER certainly an Empire-esque ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeRendon Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 I'd say THE WIND RISES by Hayao Miyazaki. It was supposed to be his last and then he'd retire. He came out of retirement again for (I think) the 6th time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CureTheSane Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Dawn Of The Dead. Fun movie. Kids didn't think it was that great. They didn't like some of the poor decisions that the characters made - especially the chick with the dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Gold Donors Darkstone Posted November 4, 2017 2023 Gold Donors Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 I wiped the dust off this classic this afternoon. I remember watching this on TV when i was very young and it captivated me. Very much ahead of its time. Forget the "nature vs nurture" debate. Apparently the Nazi's replicated the nature aspect and were now attempting to replicate the nurture component just for good measure. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favour.

Fat Freddy Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 "Alien: Covenant" (2017) In Ridley Scott's latest "Alien" flick, a crew of space colonists land on a seemingly-perfect undiscovered planet ... which naturally turns out to be less than perfect. The first half of "Covenant" is a bit of a slog, spending way too much time on set up - probably due to its picking up plot threads from Scott's sluggish "Prometheus." When the chest-bursting and xenomorph nastiness finally kicks in during the second half, it's fun to watch but overall I'd rate this installment as a disappointment.

metaltrekman Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 The Hateful Eight. Slow start. Long and bloody. It was ok but I wont watch it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaltrekman Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 The Dark Tower. Liked it a lot. But I hate that they killed the dark man in one movie. There is a whole series of books. Will the movies continue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CureTheSane Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 The Last Samuri. My wife's choice tonight and some of the kids watched with us. Haven't seen it for ages, still holds up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Little Pony KarpetRydOFunk Posted November 5, 2017 My Little Pony Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 A Ghost Story (2017) Starring Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara, the film follows the ghost of a recently deceased man. It's a really artsy film. I can't honestly say I fully understand what the film was about, but I doubt I'll ever forget it. It was very interesting. I might even watch it again to see if I can pick out the themes mentioned in its respective reviews and write-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth the time investment? The Magnificent Seven (reboot). As to be expected. Epic gunfights and such to save the town by gathering well you guessed it, the magnificent seven. The cast was solid and the acting above par. Haley Bennett is certainly worth a couple "watches"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Boys from Brazil interesting, i am not sure if I've ever seen this so I will check it out... not too long ago I watched The Odessa File with Jon Voight, which was also an older movie about Nazi war criminals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 "Stephen King's 'It'" (1990) Six friends who defeated a child-eating monster when they were kids return to their hometown as adults when the evil resurfaces 30 years later. This two part mini-series adaptation of Stephen King's epic suffers in some areas due to its made-for-TV limitations - boiling an 1100 page book down into three and a half hours of TV will do that -- but it features great performances all around (particularly Tim Curry's bravura turn as the evil clown "Pennywise") and manages to sport some genuinely creepy moments. Surprisingly enough, this "It" is still holding up pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
