What's the last movie you saw?

[Nascar24]

Wrath of Man - 6/10

[Munkus]

So mostly the backgrounds. Makes sense, I dont pay attention to the backgrounds all that much while watching a movie I guess.

They turned the Depth of Field setting up to 9000.

[koralis]

Tenet... 6/10. Disappointing.

But then it was written by Chris Nolan, not Jonathan who rarely comes up with a clunker. Inception a clear hit, Tenet a clear miss. Inception was easy to follow, if not to fuilly comprehend... Tenet is hard to grasp the rules, and frankly I feel like the rules were broken several times but i don't have the mental fortitude to break it down to prove it.

Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if Jonathan collaborated with his brother on Inception to help him keep everything straight. It has his fingerprints all over it. Tenet doesn't.


Disappointing on another level, in that I was a big fan of the Sator square and wanted to be wowed with a very intricate plot.

Agreed, and don't get me started with the sound mix.

[Cyko]

What’s wrong with the sound???

[acroig]

What’s wrong with the sound???

His sound mixes are horrid, you can't hear spoken dialogue, he does it on purpose too.

[KAC]

You gays don’t have dialog enhancing options on your TV?

[Akumajo]

Picked up "I am Legend" with Will Smith Blu Ray 1080p release and World War Z also regular 1080p Blu Ray release... extremely sharp image quality and excellent sound despite being 1080p lol

Fairly corny, apologetic, wimpy movies full of pop corn and imho not real attempts at being riské but they are still fun movies... got both as used Blu Rays... sadly World War Z has a fine scratch on the Blu Ray if you could believe that so an hour into the movie you see some artifacts and skipping the frames... as corny as WWZ was I'm gonna have to buy another copy.

Also I know it's old but wow WWZ sure suffered from bad directing and production... at some point there's a major traffic jam and in the next second set piece, there's no traffic to justify some b.s. set piece.

Also picked up Scarface... bloody hell does it look great.

The Conjuring: The Devil made me do it - 5/10

[Cyko]

The Conjuring: The Devil made me do it - 5/10

Aww. I had high hopes for this one. Why the low score?

[Nascar24]

Aww. I had high hopes for this one. Why the low score?

Maybe I low balled it, it’s an ok popcorn flick I guess. You might like it it.

[Cyko]

Going to watch it tomorrow. As long as it’s entertaining and there’s a few scares I’ll be good.

[Silent-Runner]

Raya and the last dragon. It was well done, nice entertainment. We liked it.

[nutcrackr]

The Voices (2015) - 7.5/10 yeah quite a good dark comedy and reynolds does well with the voices. AK is nice as usual. Funny musical number at the end too.

[SubCog]

Raya and the last dragon. It was well done, nice entertainment. We liked it.

Yup, I really enjoyed it too. Beyond the first viewing, I've caught bits an pieces of it since, as my kids watch it almost every day.

[Nascar24]

Those that wish me dead - 5/10 - Knocked off 1 for the comical lightning scenes. That storm had some of the greatest aim EVEA!

[Exposed]

Going to watch Conjuring 3 tomorrow but I won't be expecting it to be as good as the first two.

That's because James Wan didn't direct this one. A Conjuring movie without James Wan just won't be the same. In essence, it's going to be on the same level as the other spinoff movies like Annabelle, The Nun, etc.. that had different directors. Okayish but pales to the original Conjuring movies from where they came from.

Which is a shame, James Wan really knows his horror and why his movies that he directed are so good. Next one from him should be Malignant which I think is set to release in September.

[Renocide]

Stowaway

It gets you right in your feels...

[GravY]

Raya and the Last Dragon. Family liked it. 7.75/10

[nutcrackr]

Jack the Giant Slayer - 7.5/10 liked it well enough. Light entertainment and the giants are pretty cool.

[Akumajo]

finally watched Justice League Snyder cut and Wonder Why Woman 1984

Snyder was cheated from making his vision and I feel he made a monsterpiece film... would have been better if it had been set up as a trilogy or two 4 hour movies but oh well..


Wonder Why Woman??!! what the frack?? I actually fell asleep watching it... atrocious first part, horrible second act and embarrassing third act... whoever directed it should never touch any films ever again... I vote for Snyder to handle Wonder Woman...

[KAC]

Xtreme. The rich Spanish girl was hot/10.

[Kain]

Watched the following movies over the past week:

Stowaway. Thought it was alright but the ending didn't quite feel as emotional as the movie might of wanted it to be. Could be because I dozed off a few times as it was late.
Dead Silence (2007). First rewatch since it came out. Thought it was great. Really liked the atmosphere in certain scenes.
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. Surprisingly thought it was really good, especially given it was not directed by James Wan. Sound mix was great as well.
Spiral: From the Book of Saw. Pretty good.

[Cyko]

Conjuring: Devil Made Me Do It

7/10

Great sound mix, acceptable story if they delve deeper into a certain group mentioned in the film.

[Jay20016]

Bo Burnham: Inside (on Netflix) 10/10

A "comedy" special that I've now watched a handful of times and it hits every time. Don't think it will be for everyone, but my god, this thing is a work of art. One person doing all of it; writing, directing, lighting, song production, etc. in a single room that morphs for every sketch into something that is completely different from some awesome use of lighting and filming techniques. The songs are absolute bangers.

Bo Burnham: Inside (on Netflix) 10/10

I've avoided him because I haven't cared much for musical comedy. This looks interesting and so does he. He doesn't look like a 14 year old boy any more. So I'll check it out.

The clip was funny.

[Greasy]

The old guard. 7/10. I want to see a sequel. They left it wide open for one.

These are probably the furthest from musical comedy that he has been. The acoustic guitar song could quite frankly be a Simon and Garfunkel cover or a hundred other folk singers. My friend and I were talking about it at work today and it is kind of like Childish Gambino/Donald Glover. People sort of just go "oh, its that guy from Community with some jokes in his raps" and then he drops some of the best songs of the decade unironically.

While trying to stay out of politics, the song with the sock puppet is some truth bombs that some people are not ready to hear.

[huskylord]

Riders of Justice. 8.5/10

[UberBeavis]

Conjuring: Devil Made Me Do It

I enjoyed it, but I've mostly forgotten it by today.
Did that with the other two conjurings, too.
I like that this one did a lot with atmosphere, and relatively few jump scares.

[Renocide]

Nobody.


Good clean fun.

Your kids will love it.

[KAC]

Infinite. 5/10.

[Cyko]

Good clean fun.

[huskylord]

Watched Predator last night with my 10 year old son.
Was probably a bit too soon with the swearing, but having him say "Get to tha choppa!"....priceless!

[KAC]

Misfits. 4/10.

[andino]

Happy Gilmore with the older kiddos.

9/10! Still funny stuff...

[Sundance Kid V2]

Devil made me do it 6.66 / 10 . Enjoyed it

Spiral 6/10. Was good.

[Lazy8s]

Without Remorse.

Kinda shaky/10

[Kain]

Recently watched the following movies:

Awake
Army of the Dead
Blue Velvet

Awake was alright but still worth the watch. Army of the Dead was great. As for Blue Velvet, this must be one of David Lynch's more "straightforward" movies with not much of his usual "weirdness". As of now, if I had to rank all the David Lynch movies I've seen, it would probably be like this:

Mulholland Drive
Eraserhead
Lost Highway
Inland Empire
Blue Velvet

What no Dune? The one with Sting and Dale Cooper? Or the Elephant Man?
