That's too bad. What did you think of the 2nd one Star Trek Into Darkness?

Elle (2016)

https://s4.postimg.org/640iaar19/Elle.jpg

Michele Leblanc, the daughter of a notorious mass murderer is now the head of a successful video game company. A successful businesswoman who always brings the same open & ruthless attitude to her professional life as to her sex/love life. But after she was attacked & raped in her home by an unknown assailant, she gets caught up in a curious game to tracking down that man down...a game that may, get any moment, spiral out of control!

From the director of the original RoboCop, Total Recall & Basic Instinct; it was nothing great but an interesting psychologically twisted drama with little dose of both thriller & comedic elements.

All Through the House (2015)

Plenty of gore but it actually more had the elements for a Slasher-Porn!

>>: C-

I found it pretty popcorn.
Personally I have to disagree with the comparison.
I thought the first one was quite good, respectful of the source material, trying to make new of old and I think they did ok.
I actually liked the second one more.
More action heavy but the inner-fleet turmoil and a more interesting villain.
Anyways.

The third, though?
Just inferior in almost every way.
Wasn't really anything about the music for me though...just the whole...the plot was weak, the bad guys motivation if you can even call it that was pathetic...not to mention entirely overused in movies like this.
Their "new and interesting" side character just felt forced. I found it "ok" but pretty shallow...and that whole MAJOR plothole: How was the girl "hiding out" in a cloaked ship from the enemy exactly? It had crashed and remained stationary, and it was HIS ship...so what, he just forgot it was there?


It's not without its fun moments. But you can tell it's been largely handed off to someone else. JJA strikes again. Alias went to shit because of him doing this, LOST became a mess when he left too. Now this.

I'd see it if you kind of enjoy the characters, but it was almost like some of the actors had gotten pretty tired with it too, I found a lot of their energy seemed to be gone.
I'd give it a 5/10 honestly.

Haven't seen it yet. I only watch these type of films when I need to have my brain almost completely turned off. I'll see it eventually at least 'cause of Cumberbatch. I thought the first one was bad too.(not original, but these awful alternate reality ones)

SCI-FI BOYS (2005). Pretty good retrospective of the children of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine, including John Landis, Peter Jackson, Don Glut and others. Lots of Forrest J Ackerman footage also.
Like Jackson (and many others , I'm sure), I can remember my first FM vividly. In a short version, was in a TG&Y in Jonesboro Arkansas (Five and Dime Store) in probably early October 1969. It was Issue #59 with the great Basil Gogos cover of Barnabas Collins.. Was a big DARK SHADOWS fan, so got it strictly for that and became hooked for the next several years until all the STAR WARS coverage began-and was really more into music by that time anyway. Still, a great intro and despite the juvenile thrust FM often took, I remember that time fondly and certainly enjoying brewing a pot of coffee and poking through my many back issues. ***

The Girl on the Train (2016)

Loved the book, loved the movie. It takes a while to get going, but it gets really suspenseful in the second half. The directing was great. It gave a disorienting feel to the film that makes sense since the movie is from the points of view of three women, and one of those women is a depressed drunk divorcee. The directing choices justified the first half's slowness in retrospect. You don't know which point of view or which memory is real, but it's all put together nicely at the end. Emily Blunt is incredible.

Watched it. Still meh. Cumberbach is always great, but that's about it. 3/10

Great! I loved the book too, so naturally I was a little wary of what the movie might be like. Your review is one of three I've seen in the last 4 hours or so, and the other two were totally thumbs up. Now I have any to see it even more.

Patient Seven (2016)
B-
Several mental patients tell their story to a doctor (Michael Ironside).
One patient ties them all together.

This was pretty good. Bit different from what you'd expect but interesting and entertaining enough. And Michael Ironside is great as usual.

Desierto (2015)

https://s10.postimg.org/idrytf8eh/Desierto.jpg

After their truck breaks down, a group of undocumented Mexican workers tries to cross the border but they get caught in a 'most Dangerous Game' scenario orchestrated by a psychotic American sniper (played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

Mother's Day (2010)
I.M.D.B.
The sadistic members of a villainous family return to their childhood home to terrorize the new home owners and their guests.

Some good violence in this one, but the run time is too long for the material and the characters are unlikable. A nuanced performance from the titular Mother would have gone a long way to hold it all together and make it interesting, but Rebecca De Mornay's performance was shallow and uninteresting.
5.5/10

::shocked::*Multiple wolf whistles from the crowd*.

Just watched Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I liked it. Mostly because i like period movies. if you don't like period movies you might not like it, but i enjoyed it.nice to see Girls kick some butt.

That looked interesting. Ill have to check it out.

That sounds pretty cool, kinda wolf creek-esque. I like Jeffrey Dean Morgan too, ill have to check that out

I wasn't happy with the core of the first film (2009), but I still found it interesting and enjoyable enough. It wasn't the tone/core of the original series in many ways to me, and in other ways is was (of course), but it's an alternate universe, and I like new material, so I wasn't complaining.

I liked the 2nd one much better. It captured the serious tone the original series would do so well often enough. It was a pretty tight and gripping story. Haven't seen the 3rd.

I hear ya. Certainly wasn't a home run.

Second film, Into the Darkness, was a 3/10 for ya?

I agree, it wasn't a very good or great film, but I thought it was overall very competent... had momentum, twists and was entertaining. It has a
90% audience rating at rottentomatoes. Vast majority of folks liked it. I'm guessing the subject matter and/or genre really isn't something you like. Or just too much of this series too soon.

Lights Out (2016)
I.M.D.B.
When her little brother, Martin, experiences the same events that once tested her sanity, Rebecca works to unlock the truth behind the terror, which brings her face to face with an entity that has an attachment to their mother, Sophie.

There are a few scary moments, but this won't be giving me a fear of the dark any time soon. The tension is not amped up enough, the buildup is too sparse, and the jump scares are too obvious. It quickly turned into more of a monster movie than a scary movie. Where's Vin Diesel when you need him?

Cliched. Bad dialogue. Acting, while not requiring that much, was less than mediocre. They tried to put story into an action film, but they ended up doing very little story and it felt like filler between action scenes. No great social/political commentary like original star trek. It feels like they took star trek and made it into the various super hero movies we've been getting which I also dislike. Not all super hero movies, but the ones for the past 5 years. Making money instead of making an at least decent film. I do like sci-fi and fantastic fiction.

I love this movie. Hands-down my favorite werewolf movie.

Just glorious!

Yah. Its very very good. I haven't seen Silver Bullet in ages, but I remember loving it as a kid. Might be a favorite too. I haven't seen A Werewolf in London yet though.

Trailer made it look very good. Not predictable.

The fact that you think Vin Diesel wouldve made me this makes me seriously question your taste in movies

Wow im surprised. Ive heard only good things

I was gonna watch it for my werewolf week but couldn'tfind a way to

Don't rely on my opinions

I usually always formulate my own opinion but i like to see what others think as well

Patient Seven, 2016. 7/10

Dude, it was a joke - because he played Riddick and can see in the dark. He would have fucked that ghost up.

Although had I been serious, I like to think that my taste in movies would more be established by my near daily posts in this thread rather than a throwaway comment on one of them.

Villain: I own the DVD. I happened upon it at an FYE (yes, we still have some of those around here). Couldn't believe my luck when I saw it!

Over Your Dead Body (2014)
I.M.D.B.
A star, Miyuki Goto (Ko Shibasaki) plays Oiwa, the protagonist in a new play based on the ghost story Yotsuya Kaidan. She pulls some strings to get her lover, Kosuke Hasegawa (Ebizo Ichikawa) cast in the play, even though he's a relatively unknown actor. Other performers Rio Asahina (Miho Nakanishi) and Jun Suzuki (Hideaki Ito) lust after Miyuki. Off stage the cast's possessive love and obsessions exist as reality. Trapped between the play and reality, the cast's feelings for each other are amplified. When it becomes clear that love is not meant to be both on and off stage, love turns into a grudge and crosses the blurred line between reality and fantasy.

Takeshi Miike has made a lot of movies, some good, some bad, some great, and a whole lot of bizarre. This movies blurs the line between theater and film, giving a slow paced but interesting first half, before delving into more Miike-like madness and gore in the second half. It's all very interesting and somewhat hypnotic to watch, while you wonder just what on earth is going on, but it all comes together and makes (a semblance) of sense. This is a movie that deserves a deeper, more studious review, but overall it was an interesting and enjoyable film, and very well made.
8/10
