88Comrade2000 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Just saw the Ghostbuster reboot. I'll give it a C. An average movie at best. Loved the cameos from some of the original cast and loved the homages paid to the original movie. It started off real slow and then picked up. It felt more of a SNL movie to me. I won't give it the hate that it has gotten; but it was unnecessary remake. I had no problem with an all female cast, this cast though was mediocre at best. Ghostbusters is 67% Fresh on RT and 3.5 on IMDB. Not sure I've ever seen such a disparity quite like that.Looking forward to some reviews in here.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksun247 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 The Infiltrator is pretty good. Based on a true story. I briefly remember what happened when I was younger. Enjoyed this movie. Might not be for everyone though, but it is worthy of some recognition, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Watch a couple of old movies I never bothered to watch when they came out: The Right Stuff 1983. It was OK. Not great to me. A little too long. Far and Away 1992. Pretty good. Not what I expected. Nicole Kidman looking pretty hot, even with chicken feathers in her hair.

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Kung Fury: So it's a real short movie (30 minutes) and it's filmed like it was the 80s and takes place in the 80s. B-side movie, but hilarious to me if you like that kind of silly humor. Think of it more like a cult movie. I give it a solid A based on the fact of what they were trying to accomplish and the simple humor/satire along with it making no sense at times. The grade was based on other movies of this type, not for acting, etc. I just love these types of movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Ryu, Hitler, dinos, Merlin, and 80's martial arts nostalgia. Sounds good. Edited July 17, 2016 by Mr. Sinister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Straight Outta Compton 10/10. Absolute masterpiece. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Finally got around to watching batman vs superman. I liked it. In fact I thought it was much better than people were saying. Long dark wonderfully violent super hero story. Affleck exorcised his super hero demons and wonder woman was a bad ass. I'm glad they didn't try to make her a "use her smarts" character to keep her from simply being an ass kicker like the boys. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornaSkinsFan83 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Yeah I loved this. Really fascinating look at how that went down. I had never heard this story anyway so I was on the edge of my seat. I'm sure it's embellished Donovan had some serious balls Yeah Donovan is absolutely an American hero. Shame that he died so young (52 iirc of a heart attack) Straight Outta Compton 10/10. Absolute masterpiece. Utter bull**** that it didn't at least get an Oscar nomination I thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and Batman actually kinda hides for most of the final fight because he is unprepared and knows he can't go toe to toe. I loved the way they did that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I watched The Sting yesterday (Newman and Redford). If you enjoy movies like Ocean 11 or whatever, you will enjoy this flick. Check it out gambling, violence, con game, etc. Solid B+ at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Caught Concussion on HBO. Wasnt sure it would be compelling for me since I followed the story so closely already, but it actually was. It could've been 30 minutes longer cuz it kinda felt like they skipped over a bunch of dramatic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportjunkie07 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Sometimes upon reaching movies I realize just how good some of them are.. the prestige is an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Sometimes upon reaching movies I realize just how good some of them are.. the prestige is an example. Yeah that movie is so well done and there are a ton of little pieces of dialogue and subtle details you don't pick up on like the way the story is framed as the three parts of a magic trick that Michael Caine's character starts and ends the movie explaining. Or Bale being so enamored and impressed with the old Chinese magician in the beginning living his trick as the old and frail man. Or Jackman's past being given in a throwaway line only to come back later. Seems surprising the first time you see it but then watching again you see that it was setup. And there is a lot of heart in that movie which I always Seem to have in my favorite movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) You only gave a B+ to The Sting? Winner of the Best Picture (edit..add in Director, Original Screenplay,Original Song Score, and Film Editing) Oscars in 1974? Wow..tough crowd.

88Comrade2000 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I give Star Trek: Beyond a B+ I liked the movie and yes, the plot was weak. I was entertained and that all I want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I saw Dinesh D'Souza's "Hillary's America". Actually, it was about the Democratic party than Hillary. The old people in the audience liked it. I think I fell asleep for part of it. It gets a C. I liked his Obama ones better. I also saw "Ice Age 5". It gets a C also. Why are they still making this? Well, Scatt gets more screen time this time. Your little ones will probably like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I finally watched Straight Outta Compton. Never really heard any of their music before but I liked it. They should make a whole movie about that "Cube" guy. I really didn't care about any of the other characters...3/5 stars. Needs more Cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I just watched Captain Phillips today. If you've got Apple TV they've got a great deal this month where you can buy a movie on the iTunes store for 5 bucks, they have a different one featured each day. They've had some stuff that I haven't been interested in but Captain Phillips is up there today and I jumped all over it. Awesome, I give it an A-. Gripping from beginning to end, doesn't waste any time in getting to the action. Hanks is great as usual, the guys playing the Somali pirates were great too.

TradeTheBeal! Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 You have never listened to Ice Cube or NWA? Lol. I had a couple beers last night and I was trying to do a comedic, goofy post. I'm a big fan from way back...damn good movie, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Star Trek Beyond. It was good, but I'm not a huge trekkie, so if they stopped making these, I wouldnt be fazed. Karl Urban as Bones is the best part, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Sitting here waiting for The Killing Joke to start ... Edit: and it was awesome. It's a quality DC animated movie right up there with Mask of the Phantasm and Under the Red Hood as the best of them. Stuck to the graphic novel really well and had top voice acting. Not sure they completely embraced the R rating but it was pretty violent for an animated movie. Prior to the movie they had a special feature showing Mark Hamill discussing how he got th role of the Joker for Batman The Animated Series back in the early 90s and describing the process of doing it for first time and how much he loves the char where etc. I really enjoyed that Comes out on DVD tomorrow for anyone interested Edited July 26, 2016 by Momma There Goes That Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornaSkinsFan83 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Saw "Lights Out" tonight. We see any quality horror flick in the theaters (think horror is so much better on the big screen) and this has a 77% on Rotten Tomatoes https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lights_out_2016/ What a stupid ****ing movie. But it'll also make you jump and **** yourself. Nicely done on that front. They also go hard with the ending. B to B- territory. Worth checking out if you like horror or at home if it's a Netflix and chill night Edited July 27, 2016 by BornaSkinsFan83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
