Gone

THE WALKING DECEASED 2015

A spoof on numerous Zombie movies and shows. I found it quite humorous but it didn't seem to get very good reviews.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

Probably one of the weirdest blockbuster movies I've ever seen, but it's really fun, ambitious and visually stunning, even if the story is pretty thin. I'd love to see more of this universe.

7/10

That's what my sister's family said.

Interesting, this is based on a French comic book series. it's written, directed and produced by French director Luc Besson, who also wrote and directed The Fifth Element, and Lucy.

DON'T BREATHE (2016). This was better than I thought it would be..three small time crooks decide to do an "easy" robbery and get a whole lot more than they bargained for. ***1/2

"Shot Caller" 8/10




"Blood In Blood Out aka Bound by Honor" 9-10/10


Both movies are badass with solid acting, but Bound by Honor wins by a better story.

Corpse Bride

GRUMPY OLD MEN (1993). Decent comedy that could have been better...some scenes weren't really needed. However, I like the cast (Jack Lemmon was a favorite...he always seemed so vulnerable and for Ann-Margret ::love::::love::::love::) and there are some genuinely funny moments. Stick around for the end credits. ***

Not a bad film, a different look at the zombie genre.

Plotdigger FX did the effects and Ryan Nicholson had a part as a zombie.

Dunkirk (2017)

https://s2.postimg.org/t2zu2if2h/Dunk.jpg

As for the 'critical praise' goes, I understand Nolan tried to capture here a macro point of view of the historic event/evacuation story of Dunkirk but it turned out another disappointment (after Interstellar)! Thing is most of the epic & classic war movies comes with an individual or a set of characters, backed up by a rich screenplay that eventually made us started to care for them while we witnessed the horror of war to gradually unfold with a graceful touch of heart or humanity at some point in the story. In Nolan's Dunkirk, the single character development was minor issue with mere importance, as I guess he was more interested to depict the event as a "character" itself that's facing a struggle to survive in one of the most awfully cornered situations in the history of world wars for an allied force. Most of the "major characters" were either desperately trying to escape or determined to follow the course of their duties without much portraying emotional aspects of their convictions. Frustrating part is, after all these years it was a great opportunity (missed!) for a film maker like Nolan to really make a remarkably true epic war movie based on such an intriguing war event like Dunkirk...started from the point of Nazi war plan to skillfully corner the Brit & French allied force and their historic rescues at the end! I understand that not every war movie needs to be character driven with great cast like PATTON, RIVER KWAI, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN or SCHINDLER'S LIST and there was even war film made in such approach where they remarkably portrayed an horrifying event of war without much focusing a set of characters i.e. COME AND SEE (one of the best war movies ever made, IMO) but Dunkirk sadly failed to left any sort of moving impression on me as a viewer.

Though the presence was there but directly (with characters) there wasn't much portrayal of German enemy side in Dunkirk. The irony is actually the 'real enemy' were flat & one dimensional characters and the only real winner in this movie was cinematography, stunning!

BESETMENT 2016


An old woman's intentions are perverse and taboo when she hires on a young woman to work at her small-town hotel.

Parts were cringeworthy but I enjoyed it.

Interesting points. I have always been interested in films that let the historical events be the story, rather than the characters. Straight history documentaries tend to be exactly that, especially war docs.

I'm not quite sure what you mean in your post at times. I understood you were saying Dunkirk isn't very character driven, and they aren't very emotional. What are you saying is missing from Dunkirk, in regards to the 'missed opportunity'? That it didn't display the Nasi side, the historical/military context, that it didn't offer the Nasi military as an interesting protaganist?

It's of course very typical of Hollywood war films to be extremely character driven, like Saving Ryan and Schindler's List. Beyond the characters, the film expresses things about humanity, but very little about the historical event.

I haven't seen Dunkirk, but sounds like Nolan was going for a 'you were there' experience as the basis for the audiences' entertainment (which is probably the basic element of a horror film); with some 'horrors of war', 'help your fellow man' and 'duty' thrown in.

Oh, and are you saying you didn't like Intersteller?

Camera Obscura, 2017. 7/10





A tad boring but yet a bit brutal..

Contracted

8/10

Currently streaming on Netflix

I love that movie! The sequel isn't too bad but it lacks the intensity that the first has. There's also a particularly annoying character that I could NOT stand. I don't know, maybe it was the person portraying the character but I just wanted to ignore them whenever they popped up in a scene.
But, I digress. The first one is a blast!

Not only that, I think this whole event could have been portrayed in more epic scale with the involvement of French side also as well as the civilians who bravely took part in the evacuation process. Most of those aspects were in there though but in a quite smaller scale that disappointed me. And this was the missed opportunity for Nolan as he didn't enough even try to explore those sides and thus his Dunkirk failed to become a memorable war film for me.

In terms of 'you were there' experience...for me I felt far more invested in many war films before but in Dunkirk, it didn't work for me as an audience. Mostly because I didn't much care or feel for most of the major characters in there. While watching it, at some point I was even thinking it'd be better for Nolan if he could make a Dunkirk documentary instead. The same goes for INTERSTELLAR too, yeah...I didn't like that much too, a bit dull sci-fi drama, IMO.

Time to catch up on some of the stuff I have seen lately:

Cop car - 6.5/10

For my liking, Bacon and the (other) bad guy were a bit too bumbling for this movie to be really gripping. Overall, it was alright, though, and Bacon's performance was solid, as (nearly) always.

Split - 7/10

An effort that can redeem Shyamalaan a bit. Granted, some of the dialogues still are a bit "wuuuut?", but I liked the idea behind the film and McAvoy really delivers a strong performance. After "The last king of Scotland" I knew the boy could act, but this takes it a step further.

Road kill -3/10

Pretty bland crap. The writing was dull, the characters were annoying,... Somewhere in the wasteland between meh and bullshit, you will find Road Kill.

Will try a few more later.

I haven't been able to find the sequel streaming anywhere.

I watched it on NutFux but it may not be available there any more.

I got stuck on stupid. It's on Netflix. Thanks, guys!

Contracted has been on NettyFix a long time. I think I passed on it cause I was burnt out on the subject after watching Rec. ::smile::

Extortion (2017)

DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004). Can't hold a candle to the Romero film, but on it's own merits, pretty damn good. Much better than most remakes. ****

The Emoji Movie (2017)

The only reason I saw this was because I get to see all movies for free since I work at a movie theater. It's arguably the worst movie I've seen in theaters.

Nice perk. Ever see someone faint or freak out and leave during a horror movie. You should volunteer to be the guy that walks in with the flashlight-looking thing, stands near the screen staring at the crowd, then walks away.

No not yet because we haven't shown any big blockbuster horror movies since I've started working there. Annabelle seems promising though lol

This reminds me of a story...

I went to see the advance screening of House of 1000 Corpses. It was packed, we had to sit in the front row. There was a group of teenagers about halfway up that was loud a shit. They lit up a joint about when the slow draw back head shot happened. The guy next to them started throwing punches and there was a brawl. The cops came and escorted about 8 people away in cuffs. And the movie was awesome... Lol!

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
7/10

It was OK.

Was it better than Rami's Spiderman 2 (2004)? I don't think people have very good memories... No, really not even close. Tom Holland does a good job as a young Spiderman, though I really would have liked the script and director to give him a lot more character and acting range... cause the wide-eyed earnest and nervous routine was wearing thin (thinking of the richer character depictions of Macchio/Karate Kid and McGuire/Spiderman). Finally, in the last car scene with Keaton, Holland actually was able to display another dimension to a rather one-dimensional caricature.

All the other characters were very forgettable and flat.

At least the subject matter of Spiderman Homecoming was somewhat fresh in the Superhero genre: coming of age, wanting to grow-up too fast. However, considering the amount of time dedicated to Parker's high school life, it was noticeably unengaging and inconsequential.
