Which movie did you watch lastֻ

I saw Dead and Buried (1981).

This movie is "from the creators of Alien."

You could have fooled me.

Alien (1979), is, or course, a masterpiece.

This movie is terrible.

The acting is not very good.

The dialogue is pretty bad.

There are petty arguments between couples in this movie.

No one wants to hear that garbage.

The music is actually decent.

The film isn't overly boring, but it isn't very entertaining.

This movie is a waste of space.

update on Dune….

posted my opinion before, and these
are from friends/family who saw it.

essentially, there were 5 types:

1. those who read the book(s). they are fans and might see it again.
2. teenagers who did not read the book and did not like this boooring movie.
3. children who did not understand much, but liked going to see any movie.
4. women in general did not like it. especially my two sisters and their daughters.
4. fathers who were dragged to the movie under duress. they used profanity afterwards.

Hahaa, Thanks for that description turkeydance! I take it you were in the #1 group?

well, no.

i was in the “muggle” group who had not read any of the books.

and, as a result, i was completely out-of-my-element for being
able to adequately understand exactly why anyone did anything.

Yeh, when I watched the original movie, I wondered why they all had fruit-punch mouth.

Benicio Del Toro at his finest. 7.5/10
I would watch again.
Things We Lost in the Fire

Demetrius and the Gladiators .

Did you see The Dead Don’t Die? I didn’t care for the movie as a whole but Tilda Swinton’s part in it was pretty great. :smiley:

When I was young I bought it on DVD to watch because gladiators. Boy was I disappointed. The way I remember it those fight scenes were some real stinkers. They had better film duels in the 1930s! :person_facepalming:

Sure I did. I’m big Jim Jarmusch fan.
I really admired Tilda in Orlando

Hmm interesting filmography. Looks like he only makes the movies he wants to make. I can respect that.

I haven’t seen Orlando so I can’t comment on it.

Since you’re our resident expert (pun intended ) on Resident Evil, how would you rank the SEVEN movies of the franchise? I’m not a huge fan of this genre, so if you could pick just one or two movies you’d say are the best of the Resident Evil series, what would they be?

I finally saw the new Dune movie.

I liked it! Better than I expected. Of course, highly disappointing that this is only part one… leaving us hanging. And it’s quite long. A few things depicted differently than I hoped. But overall… quite good & respectful of the book.

It's been a while since I've seen most of them, and I didn't write short movie reviews for any of them except part seven.

I think that the first six movies are very good, and part seven is just good.

Sorry, but that's the best I can do without re-watching all of them.

If you’re only gonna watch two, watch the 1st two (RE, and RE: Apocalypse). IMO those are the best. Hard to put one over the other.
The 1st one introduces everything so if you don’t know what it’s about, you kinda need to see it.
They’re all good though.

Very good movie. Scary, heartbreaking, it hits you like a train. 8.5/10
Not entertaining or funny. Sad, brutal life many of us don’t know.
Lilja 4-ever

Re-watched the movie “Hackers” last night. Was a fun blast from the past.

Lilya 4-ever looks interesting - I’ll try to see that one

Jim Jarmusch is the Todd Rundgren of US filmmaking. I was impressed when I saw “Stranger Than Paradise,” back in 1984, but I had not seen another one of his movies (except for “The Dead Don’t Die”) until I recently saw “Paterson,” and again I was impressed. I have to see “Down By Law” one of these days.

“Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?”

:laughing:

Cool - thanks! Sometimes with a long running series like this, there can be significant improvements in production and story writing such that the original feels dated and lackluster. Thanks!
EDIT: Saw RE #1. Meh… not for me. Not my style of movie.

:laughing: x 100!
