Which Good Movie Have You Seen Recently?

[Latrinsorm]

How can anyone enjoy that movie with Bane's voice?I didn't know that was even a thing. People didn't like Bane's voice?

[Gelston]

The Hateful Eight. It wasn't a great Tarantino movie, but it was good enough.

[Gsgeek]

The Hateful Eight. It wasn't a great Tarantino movie, but it was good enough.

Yeah, the first 2/3 of the movie were great, classic Tarantino. The last 1/3 or so, ehh, it was too much, too overkill for me. Wont go into it too much for those who haven't seen it, but in some ways I was disappointed because it started so good I thought. I don't know, maybe he couldn't see a clean end for the movie. Anyway, worth seeing but its no kill bill or pulp fiction.

That planet was a mobile base, they were only there until the star was gone and then they were going to cruise on to a different one.

I imagine the core was still hot as fuck and radiated heat. Either that or "Star Wars technology"

Probably for the same reason people in horror movies have to be the biggest fucking morons on the planet that can't make a half-decent decision to save their lives: It would be a short movie.

Disclaimer: I've never watched these Star Wars movies, so I have no idea when this all happened and for all I know it could have been toward the end of a four hour flick. Star Wars is dumb.

[Wesley]

Look, I've been watching through Star Trek series' from my childhood while I've been mastering forging, so I want to weigh in here, since Star Trek was considered "the more sciency one" of the two series'.

The answer is magic. Fucking magic. To all of it. Nothing holds up. Not even the more sciency one. It's all ridiculous. Be entertained or don't. I enjoy Star Wars now in the same way I enjoyed Pacific Rim, and the same way I enjoy the new Star Trek movies. As fun, exciting action flicks. If you want real science in a movie, you can watch Interstellar or Europa Report. We're lucky to even have those now as relatively large budget sciency movies. A decade ago, that shit didn't really exist in the mainstream.

Edit to add: I neglected to mention the Martian of course, which I intentionally left out but changed my mind. While it too is largely scientifically accurate, it chose to ignore the fact that without some more "sciencing the shit out of it", one could not just grow potatoes on martian soil because it's toxic. It's still a fun movie that's mostly scientifically accurate. It makes you think about a lot of things, while glossing or skipping over entirely things that'd make the plot not make sense.

[Latrinsorm]

I still want to know why everyone on the planet didn't instantly freeze to death as the star disappeared.For the same reason a pan doesn't instantly reach room temperature when you remove it from the stove top: that's just not how matter works. (Please do not test this with any part of your body.) Everyone on the planet would eventually reach the temperature of the surrounding environment (i.e. the quite cold depths of space) but on top of Newton's law of cooling a breathable atmosphere turns out to be an amazingly good insulator, oceans turn out to be an amazing heat sink, and so on and so forth. Of far greater concern to my mind are the gravitational consequences, but draining the star is a gradual process so it's plausible those are gradual as well.

Saw Sully last night with my firm. It is the best new aviation movie we've all seen together and we've gone to almost everyone non-cartoon since Snakes on a Plane (it doesn't top the Top Gun re-release).

It was an extremely effective movie when it came to the actual depiction of the flight, which it showed multiple times from different viewpoints. I also enjoyed the scenes from the ATC tower and the few attempts in inject humor (grey goose with a splash of water as the Sully drink). Tom Hanks was also very good as Sully. I needed a reminder that he could act after the Inferno trailer, where they took 3 fantastic actors (Hanks, Felicity Jones, and Irrfan Khan) and gave them the shittiest dialog. It seems like Dan Brown insists that the movie dialog has to be as bad as in his books, which are unreadable. Anyway...

Where Eastwood goes wrong is spending too much time on portraying the NTSB investigators as evil idiots, which they're not, and in reality the NTSB didn't need any prompting from Sully to add 35 seconds to the sims to account for the human factor, so the entire last 20 minutes of the movie has zero relevance to the actual story. I don't know why Eastwood felt like he had to skew the story for added drama, maybe to push his "all government is incompetent" agenda. The story is fantastic without any added bad guys. What they could have done instead was show more of Sully's flying history. There were two flashbacks, but neither one included his glider pilot experience, I would have loved to see that.

Although it's not in my wheelhouse as far as preferred movie genres go, it is offered free to Amazon Prime members so I just watched Sicario. Loved it. Has me hardcore crushing on Benicio Del Toro.

[Gelston]

Hacksaw Ridge

I'd say I agree with the reviews, that it is the best WW2 movie since Saving Private Ryan. Saving Private Ryan was better, quite I bit so, IMO... But that is like comparing Disneyland to Disney World.

There was just something off about the combat scenes. Either it was the way they filmed it or just using way too much fire. The explosions and artillery impacts didn't seem to have much force either. Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan display all that a lot better. A lot of it kind of reminded me of Windtalkers I guess. Quite a few "medal of honor" runs.

Anyways, I enjoyed it, but I didn't see the value of watching it in the theater. So, hey, if you want to go watch a movie, this is a good one, otherwise, just wait to watch it on your own TV.

She was deaf. Most deaf people are not mute. Most can make noises and some, with training can speak clearly.

Although it's never made clear in the movie narrative, I think the crossbow guy was on a killing spree and just came across her randomly.

I agree about the peripheral vision being troubling. Who wouldn't, in that circumstance, see someone outside a window you are sitting right next to?

I thought they were planet bouncing at the beginning of Rogue One a bit too much at first too, but still a pretty great movie.

I watched The Visit with low expectations, being written and directed by Shyamalan, but it was good.

The Night Before was funnier than I expected. I like Seth Rogen being goofy Seth Rogen, but even if you don't Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anthony Mackie are good enough to still watch it.

I liked it... I didn't love it though. I really didn't like the beginning much when they were switching from planet to planet to planet in a haphazard manner. Seemed junky to me.

Overall though, it was pretty good.

Saw this today. I enjoyed the fast pace of the beginning. I liked that so many characters and locales were thrown in too. I've read some complaints elsewhere about how confusing that was but it felt to me like the writers and director trusted the audience to follow along. If they'd done otherwise they'd have people complaining about that too.

The only complaint I have is a minor one too: the CGI Peter Cushing was a little freaky. I didn't mind them using a CGI character but did they have to give him such a large role? I feel like it detracted from the movie. The CGI Leia was okay but, then again, she only had a small role so it wasn't as jarring as I found Cushing to be. I think there were other, better ways they could have handled his role.

Overall fantastic movie that will end up part of our home movie library for sure.

Edit: oh and using the footage from the original movie of Red Leader and Gold Leader was pretty cool too. Had us thinking they were CGI too but Google tells me otherwise.

[Gelston]

You know, thinking about Rogue One, it was almost a throw back to RotJ. And honestly, I didn't know the CGI Tarkin until after it was brought to my attention when I looked at the internet later. I thought they found actors and made them look like Tarkin and Leia.

Wolf Totem

it's a Chinese/French film with subtitles, which I rarely have the patience for, but I watched 5 minutes for the cinematography as I was going to bed last night and decided I had to watch the rest and recorded it. The plot is a little all over the place, but telling the story of the Mongols relationship with the land and the wolves and the interference of the Chinese during the Cultural Revolution is a lot of story to tell. It's gruesome, haunting and beautiful.

Interview with the wolf trainer: https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/wolf-totem-trainer-talks-about-working-with-ornery-animal-actors/2015/09/10/ffe88ca2-527c-11e5-933e-7d06c647a395_story.html

Not a recent movie, but Creed is surprisingly good.

[Latrinsorm]

Went waaay back into the archives to rewatch Iria: Zeiram. It was the first anime I ever saw on Sci Fi, back when it was still called Sci Fi. It turns out to be a six part OVA rather than an actual movie but it was shown that way back then and can be easily treated that way now. The animation doesn't quite hold up to memory but mostly because at the time it was unprecedented for me. I'm sure it would look archaic to a first time viewer but not drastically so. The dubbing in retrospect is brutal. I had to turn it off after part one but turned it back on for part six because Tradition.

Have to agree with Gelston, Daredevil is a terrible movie.

Just cause you have a well known cast doesn't mean its good. Like Batman 4.

Though I did like the new Arrival. Slow at parts but ultimately satisfying.

Most of Clooney's body of work is awful. Never understood his box office appeal.

He has never come across as a very dynamic actor to me. Like Nicholas Cage... He is always the same guy in all his movies.

[Viekn]

Out of what I'd consider his notable performances (good or bad), I'd say...

The Descendants - solid
Ocean's series - good
Intolerable Cruelty - Awesome
Perfect Storm - fair
Three Kings - solid
Out of Sight - Great
The Peacemaker - damn good
From Dusk Till Dawn - good

Anything else in my book was meh.

[Tisket]

I agree that many of those were decent movies but I disagree they were so because Clooney starred in them.

[Gelston]

They were good despite Clooney. I don't care for the Ocean's series though. Three Kings was good, but that wasn't because of Clooney.

The only one I think might have suffered without him was From Dusk to Dawn.

Spectral. A made for Netflix film that turned out to be pretty good. Whoever wrote the blurb giving a synopsis of the film never actually saw the film though. Good acting, not great, but solid. Interesting plot with the exception of one Hollywood-MacGyver moment, and it kept my interest through the whole film. And believable reactions to the threat from the military guys involved.

Yeah, I saw that one. Surprisingly good for what what it was.

[Archigeek]

Watched Upside Down yesterday. It was a movie that started with a fascinating concept, but unfortunately the plot execution and conflict elements just weren't handled well enough. The ending was also weak. All that said, I thought the concept was interesting enough that I still enjoyed the film.

Captain FantasticKina liked this a lot too, I didn't love it except for the last thirty or so seconds. Which parts did you like?

[Back]

Get Out.

Jordan Peele continues to be brilliant. Get Out has elements of Hitchcock, Tarantino, and Kubrick. The slow reveal of the intricate story punctuated by brutal violence is really what makes this movie hilarious. I say hilarious because, while suspenseful and thought provoking, it is also fantastic and ultimately only trying to be funny. In this, and in many other ways, it succeeds.

[Tisket]

Kina liked this a lot too, I didn't love it except for the last thirty or so seconds. Which parts did you like?

I liked the whole family dynamic. The fact that the love between the members was strong and true and, even when the actuality of how appropriate that lifestyle was for children was called into question, you never doubted the love between the members. Even the grandparents, you never doubted their genuine concern and love even though they could easily have been cast as the villains in the movie. I guess the part I disliked was the way they left the grandparents, that felt unresolved to me. But then again, most families have unresolved issues so that felt honest in it's own way too.

I just liked the message, that it's not the end of the world (or a family) when mistakes are made. You learn from them and move on and hopefully do better.

The Dressmaker (on Amazon Prime)

Just finished watching this last night. With a half hour left, we were wondering what was left in the story. Oh boy.

[Candor]

Saw the live action Beauty and the Beast movie last night. The choreography and score are masterfully done, and the movie flows very well. Although there are some minor additions the plot is essentially the same as the 1991 animated film, so don't expect a new story. However it is definitely worth seeing (especially in IMAX format).

I liked Logan. But I had a lot of thoughts. None of this is really a spoiler, but if you want to go in blind read no further.

.

So I get it. It's rated R, and they want to drop f bombs, #gritty. But the overwhelming majority of them felt forced, like a high school freshman trying to fit in. Some were organic but a lot more could very easily have been cut, and should have.

The depiction of agedness was very well done. The indestructible killing machine reduced to reading glasses and limping around was wildly affective, same with the world's most powerful mind struck down by our most terrifying illness.

All comic books have this problem where they eventually need to clear the decks, and the storytelling mechanisms they use are always awfully contrived. The movie was smart not to put too much explanatory weight on any of the flimsy (but novel!) ones used here, instead relying on emotional weight and the acting ability of Sir Patrick Stewart. Smart, but still. The idea that the hordes of mutants we've seen were eradicated in 15 years was a clang of dissonance. Why not push the horizon out a few more decades? The famously powerful Days of Future Past comics storyline gave itself 35 years, the just as excellent TV storyline 50. Give yourself a little breathing room.

Another smart thing was giving Wolverine several problems he couldn't punch(/claw/savage) his way through. We all know Jean-Luc can act, giving Hugh a chance to do something besides bellow and punch things was a nice change of pace.

The X-Men have always been the most hopeful of all the hero movies. Spiderman can never save Uncle Ben, Batman can never save his parents, Superman can never make the world into his Boy Scout ideal. The X-Men's fundamental goal as a minority is just to be treated decently. No matter how grievous their losses, no matter how horrifying the atrocities committed by and to their fellow mutants, their goal is obtainable... but in Logan the goal has lost all meaning, and so the movie doesn't really have any either. It still has profound emotional impact because of the depth of this loss and the nobility of those (human and mutant) who stand up to it, but that nobility is so impactful precisely because the movie makes clear its futility.

If you intend on seeing Alien or Baywatch, hurry, they aren't going to last long (especially Baywatch). Best move of the year for me was far and away, Dr. Strange.

I am not a big GOTG fan (they ain't the Guardians I remember), so I skipped that. I am too picky in my advancing years.
