Quote from: guest on 04/12/2018, 09:27 PMI still haven't watched that korean movie and that kung fu dub still haunts my mind at night.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LZ9C1VJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526231221&sr=8-1&pi=PI_PJPrime-Sash-Extra-Large-2017,TopLeft,0,0_AC_SX118_SY170_QL70&keywords=the+handmaiden+movie+amazon&dpPl=1&dpID=51unPsQZryL&ref=plSrch

It is free now on Amazon Prime it seems, so maybe it is good you held off.

In the theaters the Korean and Japanese language were color coded in subtitles, which was helpful. I heard some versions of the home released didn't do this, but haven't watched yet to confirm.

Re:Born: JP knife-fu action flick. Had some Metal Gear Solid vibe. Solid action flick.

Revenge: camera and cinematography is great, but you really need to leave you suspension of disbelief at the door. I think if the director made it more campy or fantasy, the story would have been more believable. Still, good stuff and recommend.

I will when it hits video, though I don't expect anything as good as The Winter Soldier (I guess that's been my favorite of all these non stop Marvel Universe flurry of super hero movies). That was all kinds of major ass-kicking from Captain America and Bucky, fun throughout the whole flick! Like Epic Voice Guy said, they "didn't skip leg day" and their team genuinely liked it.

Finally watched Inglorius Basterds, was quite awesome...

Bloufo · 05/15/2018, 12:18 AM

Hell or High Water (2016)

Old West meets the modern West. A soulful crime drama about desperate brothers pitted against the system.
Great writing, top performances. And superb cinematography to boot.

Finally got to the movies to watch Infinity Wars.

It was a lot better than I thought it would be.

It was cool seeing characters from different movies interacting with everyone.

Winter Soldier may very well still be my favorite Marvel flick, but.... I feel like its important to go see Infinity War at your earliest convenience... and then meditate. May discover a different way to live. <3

Saw that last year as I was looking for Jeff Bridges movies. Decent bank robbery movie which leads me to Den of Thieves (2018), the latest variation of bank robbery plot starring Gerald Butler. I think it ranks pretty high as one of the best in the genre. Almost felt like watching a bit of Sicario (2015) with Benicio del Toro, Josh Brolin, Emily Blunt...

aslbozz · 05/16/2018, 11:33 PM

Just finished watching Killer Klowns from Outer Space again, man I love that movie!

Gypsy · 05/17/2018, 09:41 AM

The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) and The 400 Blows

Both very good flicks.

bob · 05/18/2018, 01:43 PM

i havent really read this thread, but has anybody seen It Came From the Desert?

NightWolve · 05/18/2018, 02:57 PM

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4288674/

Ah, so they did adapt it into a movie, heh. I think someone made a thread years ago about the possibility.

Let's see, how low was the budget ?

IMDB: A cool 1 million dollars...

EDIT: Here it goes:

Appears to be an el cheapo Starship Troopers-esque knockoff, but hey, I'd watch it some time judging by this old proof of concept trailer!

420GOAT · 05/18/2018, 06:08 PM

Chasing the Dragon....pretty bad ass.

What's the most intellectually challenging movie you've ever seen? This one?

NightWolve · 05/20/2018, 12:36 AM

I gave a chance to The Disaster Artist (2017) with James Franco which was surprisingly good, charming and Ready Player One (2018) which I was excited about but let down... It's worth seeing, it is directed by Steven Spielberg, there are good messages in there, but I was bored at times... I'm sure the kids loved it as it is geared toward a young demographic even with the references only us old farts will recognize.

Warbucks · 05/21/2018, 08:59 AM

I am about half way through Ready Player One.

I agree, my son is enjoying it, and there are some references that are over his head that I got.

Um... den of thieves is at 49 on metacritic and 41 on tomato meter. That's borderline "might pass on Netflix" territory let alone best of the genre

NightWolve · 05/21/2018, 09:26 PM

That's fine, my opinion doesn't have to match a website of pro movie critics/fans. What they hate I might really enjoy. Speaking of Rotten Tomatoes, they gave the new Cobra Kai series 100% which I was very happy to see!

schweaty · 05/23/2018, 12:29 AM

Cobra Kai was excellent. Really hope they bring back Bobby, Tommy, Dutch and even an Allie cameo would be nice

NightWolve · 06/01/2018, 09:24 PM

Does anybody care about the new SW tale, "Solo: A Star Wars Story" ?? Will you "help Solo out" at the box office ?

Word on the street is that relative to Star Wars standards Solo is bombing, BUT, if you alter the standards by judging it as "some heist movie" instead (as some spinmeisters suggest), well, then it's the greatest opening weekend for such a genre... ;)

Personally I just can't get too excited after seeing the last one at theaters (I like Rogue One the most though)... So yeah, I'm not gonna help Solo out myself... I'll happily wait till it hits video. Sorry Solo/Disney, just not feeling it anymore (Star Wars magic), gonna sit this one out, but good luck all the same! :/

After the horror that was the Last Jedi this is the kind of movie I might watch on Netflix with friends to sit and make snide comments and make fun of. I wouldn't pay to see this in theatres.

Flare65 · 06/04/2018, 09:17 AM

Saw the movie Upgrade in the theater over the weekend. Probably best movie I have seen this year. Lots of violence, action, plot and plenty of plot twist. Ending was a shocker as well. I highly recommend it.

NightWolve · 06/09/2018, 09:13 PM

It's coming...

TR0N · 06/10/2018, 01:12 AM

Just saw dead pool 2 just like the original,action with a comedic tone mixed in.This one seems to push it more with the humor and action compared to the last one.Which i'm fine with i was just a little disappointed how short the movie was.Also josh brolin,did well enough playing as a cable being the straight man for the movie.After this i don't know how they can top it.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

Thoughts: Well, I sat down with it a couple of days ago, and eh, I liked it - not bad, but not "great" either. It's a respectable installment in the Star Wars legacy with a little bit of old skool movie magic I think.

Woody Harrelson was pretty good despite how his character plays out in the end and I kinda appreciated the backstory of how Solo and Chewbacca befriended each other being played out here. Ron Howard was at the director's chair after all, he has been able to produce something worth watching more times than not.

I give it a ~6.5/7 out of 10 or a "C+" type of deal... Here's a review by Happy Console Gamer via his Film Fury channel which I watch now and then. I agree with their "NetFlix version of Star Wars" characterization:

EvilEvoIX · 10/11/2018, 08:10 PM

The Hunt for Red October. Damn good movie. They handle the language barrier pretty good even though Connery still has a thick Scottish accent.
