Which movie did you watch lastֻ

“Nice marmot….”

I kinda agree. I’ve now read several positive reviews of this one and I just don’t get it. If you were to take the story elements/ideas themselves, I think it could’ve been a good if not great movie, but it was horribly executed, so much so that in several places I was just thinking “wtf” (Is Harley just pooping colors?!!) Someone has some ’splaining to do…or not.

Maybe a Zack Snyder-type cut would help…as long as it’s not 4 hours long :stuck_out_tongue:

SHUTUP DONNY! :smiley:

I have some 4k content “backed up” on my HTPC with an 8TB HD, but I don’t consider it a permanent solution since I don’t have enough room for redundancy. Anything I want “permanently” I own on disk. That way I get lossless audio and Extras too. I’ll check out Blacklist sometime :+1:

“It’s uh… uh… it’s down there somewhere, let me take another look.”

It’s good to confirm I’m not the only one who wasn’t ecstatic about the movie. It’s hard for me to even pinpoint exactly where the execution goes wrong but the whole thing feels so _off _to me.

Regarding the Harley Quinn “fight” I think the CGI flower confetti everywhere was a really bad decision. It made me think about the action too much. I was snapped me back to reality as I started wondering if the flowers got the movie a lower MPAA rating. Actually, that’s the second time; I was snapped back to reality earlier when the non-muscular 125lb woman somehow overpowered and snapped the neck of a bodybuilder twice her size. That and her walking into rooms full of enemies and shooting everyone without so much as getting grazed. Apparently there is nothing so special about Deadshot after all…

Simply beautiful movie. 9/10 I will see it again for sure.

The Dig

I saw Final Destination 5 (2011).

[One of my favorite movies of all time.]

This movie is excellent.

It's the best film in the series, with the best acting and the violence is done the best.

The opening credits are done extremely well.

The last two scenes are impressive, which is nice to have a strong ending.

It's kinda surprising for a Part 5 of a series to be so good.

I keep telling myself I need to watch the Final Destination movies but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

The Orphanage [2007]

The Orphanage might be more thriller than horror movie, but it can be genuinely creepy at times. This is one of those movies that I wish I could watch again for the first time due to the mystery of it. I think that some story elements are left a little too open for interpretation in a way that makes theory-crafting difficult. Some movies, like The Prestige, are great second watches because you get to reanalyze the performances in a new context. The Orphanage seems to be thoughtful on more of a pseudo-spiritual level though rather than a cerebral one. The questions it raises are more important than the answers it doesn’t supply.

Seconded. I’ve seen it twice. Once with a close friend another time with my mother while she was recuperating from an accident. It’s slow, by today’s standards. But that’s a good thing. You almost feel like this was made a couple decades ago and remastered.

I love the feeling of history conveyed.

Another media production with that kind of feeling is “The Detectorists.” It’s a TV series, 3 seasons. It’s WEIRD at first, but then you get into it. The acting is truly superb. Very real people. Diana Rigg is in it, as well as her daughter (small parts). Plus that very recognizable pirate from Pirates of the Caribbean movie series.

Johnny Depp? Whut?

I’ve been meaning to watch The Dig but keep putting it off. I’ll have to do it now…

As far as FD 5, I agree, it’s very good in the series and I did NOT see that coming.
If you liked the first one but started to get tired after so many sequels, at least see that one…after 1 & probably 2 of course (who doesn’t like Ali Larter?) :stuck_out_tongue:

The Orphanage (2007) sounds like a good movie for me to take on vacation with me that my wife will like, ty

After The Dig (not before) watch this:

THE VAULT 2021

that Vault picture (like so many others) has characters
all “armored up” but no head protection. no helmets.
of course, it is just a movie, but this guy was in a movie:

and her, too:

yes, we are “picky” like that.

I know… I’m picky as well.

Another that I see all the time…
A thief going to rob a safe without using gloves and leaving fingerprints all over… :person_facepalming:

PANDORUM (2009)

I saw A Quiet Place Part II (2020).

This movie is a disappointment.

I really liked Part 1, but did not like Part 2.

The acting and music are top notch.

The problem is that the movie is extremely slow.

I much prefer tightly edited films.

About half of Part 2 could have been cut, and the movie would have been much more entertaining.

Also, the ending is incredibly weak.

Pretty good sci-fi flick. I keep it on the shelf next to Event Horizon.

Hmm, had to goggle it. Looks interesting.

Nothing to do with pandas, though.

No rum either :frowning:
