The Director's cut is about 4.5 hours. Based on the pacing in Black Panther, and how I still wanted to see more, I would love to see Coogler's cut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I watched a movie on Netflix called the Preppie Connection. It's based off a true story about a prep school kid who smuggled cocaine by flying directly to Columbia to score. It's got an absolutely terrible Rotten Tomatoes rating but I didn't think it was that bad. B-. Kinda predictable but can't expect a happy ending.

Destino Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The Ritual (Netflix Original) - Four guys go hiking and things go badly. Not great, not original, but this one is fun. Good original monster and they actually show it to you, which I prefer. Another reason not to go hiking. Good use of visuals and sounds to create a creepy atmosphere. I've recommended this before and I'll keep doing it, if you want to enjoy most horror movies watch them with a good pair of head phones at night. This is especially true for this movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanboyOf91 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) I'll give credit to Eric Garland: Annihilation is Original Content and takes ridiculous risks (more so than The Last Jedi). Spoiler What the **** was with those bones? You should probably see this in the theaters; the visuals are mindbending.

SoulSkin Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Anyone who's seen Black Panther think it would be worth shelling out the extra couple of bucks for 3D? I usually don't go for 3D, but I think it actually kind of saved The Last Jedi for me. Usually I find it doesn't really add much, and actually can be a little distracting. The previews make it seem like it might be kind of cool for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Three Billboards Pretty wild ride. Well acted, great storytelling. Roller coaster of emotions. Would recommend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinwhiteduke Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Finally saw the most recent Star Wars the last day before the theatre wasn't going to show it anymore. Lol they really botched who they picked as the bad guy for these last two movies. He looks more like just some annoying, whiny Jewish kid then some ruler of a evil army lol. And they just make the hero some idiot savant who just starts using the force out of the blue. But its still as a movie an entertaining big budget piece. It's a tradition to go see since I've been alive to see them all originally. They certainly left the door wide open for the next sequel. Lol I am.a little disappointed that it was obvious they made 3 women the most heroic in the movie. I guess in the high tech age you don't need muscle anymore lol. Note : 12.50 for a ticket on a Wednesday night and 13.00 for a small coke and a medium popcorn. Although..that small coke was more like a medium and lasted a while..and the medium popcorn was big and I didn't finish it. But the price kept me from adding a box of Jr mints Edited February 25, 2018 by thinwhiteduke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you quote part of my post in Russian, or do I have some sort of issue I might need to be aware of? --- Not sure if documentaries count, but I watched this on a recommendation. Don't think it would have ever caught my interest otherwise. PBS doc called Mine Wars. It's about the West Virginia coal miners' struggles in the early 20th century, and the effort to unionize. Pretty crazy historical stuff. It might be familiar knowledge to some people, but I never really knew about a lot of this. It's a little slow, but if you like PBS style documentaries, this is a pretty good one. I'm only posting about it because I felt I needed to mention something while I was asking about the Russian text. http://www.pbs.org/video/american-experience-mine-wars/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Game Night is a good movie. Nothing amazing but it does what it sets out to do really well and the characters are wonderful. I'd rate it a solid 8/10 for comedies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAsically, a new species is being formed. God makes mistakes. Spoiler I didn’t think it was ambiguous whether it was the real Kane or not. As soon as they mentioned the shimmer creating duplicates and showed the deer I started to think that’s what the Kane we saw was. The only real ambiguous part was the shimmer still in her eyes at the end. I wonder if it all was destroyed or if the being somehow can continue in those too. I like that they made the point that it wasn’t destroying, it was just building something new. I liked that the self destruction/self harm/damged people could go in and in some cases could find themselves made new, like the girl with the glasses growing flowers where she had previously cut her arms. Aise Note: that decomposing bear that absorbed the screams of Cass as she was dying was probably the most horrifying idea I’ve seen in a long time. That voice, wow. Somebody should get a raise for thinking of that. 2 hours ago, thinwhiteduke said: Lol they really botched who they picked as the bad guy for these last two movies.

drowland Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 The trailers for Game Night were meh but it actually turned out to be an enjoyable movie. I little over the top but had several lol moments and interesting characters. They shot the movie like it was an action thriller like “The Game.” Good movie to take a date on.

After that, probably Cap America: Winter Soldier. Then the first Avengers. We'll see if Black Panther can crack that top 3. Are you me? Because I have always rated the Captain America movies best from the Avengers Universe. Just got out of Black Panther and they killed with this one... Cap will have to make some room for T'challa... Maybe it is the level of personal depth from the origins stories... we get tip notch with Cap and Panther... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinwhiteduke Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Had free movie channels on directv last weekend. So I saw Xmen Apocalypse. The only interest I have in watching it is Jennifer Lawrence and Olivia Munn. So I find it hilarious and disappointing that Munn is barely on screen for a total of possibly barely 2 minutes or less through the entire movie lol.I wonder how much she got paid for that? Other than that I liked the whole Egyptian thing at the beginning. And I don't like J Lawrence as a blue lizard woman haaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s because they’ve gotten better with each one or it’s the Russo Bros. They’ve handled that character and others so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the only reason I watched that movie too. Aaron Rodgers really dropped the ball on that one. Saw Atomic Blonde last night. Very good looking flick, kind of reminded of Gross Pointe Blank for some reason (probably because of all the 80s nostalgia). Charlize Theron really impresses in all the fight scenes she is in (assuming that is her and not a stunt double). Give it a solid B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most hollywood marriages are fake anyway. just used her to deflect gay rumors.. or cause more... and use his name to boost her career. Hollywood is..

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I watched 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' last night. HIGHLY recommend that. There were a few unrealistic plot lines, but as a whole in context what a wonderfully cutting, black-humoured through heart-wrenching human drama. With just magnificent performances from the whole cast. Not least Frances McDormand who always excels in these roles. Hail 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
