Spaceman Spiff Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Atomic Blonde. I give it a 3/5. Charlize is great, the action is great. Um, the hot lesbian scene between her and the French spy is great... Not gonna lie though, when I heard one of the characters say something along the lines of "There's a list with a name of spies on it and we need to get it back..." I kinda rolled my eyes and lost some interest. Kinda confusing movie, a lot of twists and stuff. But the action is great, the colors and feel are nice. Awesome 80s soundtrack.

Top 10 car chase of all-time? 7-series BMW vs the 4-banger turbo through the city streets. DeNiro was giving that e-brake the business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing that in the theater and thinking "I wonder what this heist is gonna be like" and then they pulled out the rocket launcher at the start.

Could this be the end of Matthew McConaughey? I sure hope so! Most of the reviews are slamming the movie for trying to over simplify a very complex story. An odd complaint being that this is the only thing Hollywood writers ever do. It's all they can do. This is at the heart of why people so often say "the book was better than the movie." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Baby Driver was good. I did not like the ending at all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I saw "The Dark Tower" yesterday. I haven't read the books; so I don't know how the translation to the big screen went. I liked the movie though. It was a little slow in parts but still a good movie to me. Idris Elba was perfect as The Gunslinger. I'll give it a B-.

DM72 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Detroit was very good and VERY powerful. Playing a racist cop probably won't get him nominated, but the young man playing that cop should win an Oscar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mournblade Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Saw "Edge of Tommorow", at long last. Killer story, Cruise and Blunt are both terrific in it. But wow the CGI is so terrible to the point that it is distracting. I give it a solid B, mainly because of the great story and Emily Blunt is SO damn hot in it (she has to be one of the most beautiful women on the planet. John Krasinski is one lucky guy). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Finally Keith! I knew we'd get there eventually. I loved the movie but didn't care for the alien design. Still one of my favorite sci-fi movies to come out recently 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Looooved Edge of Tomorrow. Prolly the best Tom Cruise movie ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrFan Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I didn't like Valerian, poor acting and screenplay (compared to the comics). On the other hand I liked the screenplay of planet of the apes supremacy, and Woody delivers another great performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Cruise has been crushing the Sci-Fi game for a while now. Edge of Tomorrow, Minority Report, Oblivion, Vanilla Sky, War of the Worlds. Some were better than others but I enjoyed them all. I was pretty bummed out that Mummy was so bad, I didn't like it at all. Snatched - Meh. It was pretty bad but I laughed really hard a few times. I enjoy crude humor but Schumor always forcing it is getting old. Nowhere near as good as Trainwreck. D. The Belko Experiment - Man, I had high hopes for this. It was okay, but wasn't impressed. C+.

Because before that was The Mummy in 1959 starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. And prior to that was The Mummy in 1932 with Boris Karloff.

True and I am aware of previous mummy movies but I am not familiar enough with their plots to consider them the genesis of this Cruise mummy.

From what I've seen, it seems most all mummy movies have the same plot: Mummy wakes up, attacks those who desecrated his tomb, and stalks the reincarnation of his lady-friend. The Mummy played by Boris Karloff is named Imhotep, same as the 1999 movie. Anyways, I just looked up the Tom Cruise one on IMDB. All I had to see was that it was directed by Alex Kurtzman. That should be reason enough to skip it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
