Went to see the new Terminator t'other night. I was dreading even going tbh, however it wasn't that bad. To the point where there were some decent ideas and bits in it. That said there were some horrendous eye rolling moments. Arnie being an interior decorator for the last twenty years being the biggest one. I'm actually baffled at why that idea passed.
Anything was going to be better than the absolute abomination that was Genisys. |
1978 Halloween and Slumber Party Massacre 2.

Watched Suspiria last night, the one with Tilda Swinton. I like the original, but wouldn't say that Suspiria is non-remakeable. The new one was pretty solid, some nasty body horror in it. Body horror is always enjoyable.

Mama (2013)
It was pretty bad. If it weren't for the acting chops of Jessica Chastain and those two girls (incredibly talented for child actresses), I'd have even come away thinking it was downright terrible. What little goodwill it builds up with some moody sets and skillful cinematography, it immediately ruins with cheap jump scares and some atrocious writing. And that ending just left me emotionally confused. And I don't mean that in a vague, nuanced or ambiguous way, more in a "which kind of narcotics were involved in the conception of that scene?" kind of way. |

Original is an all-time fave of mine, new one was surprisingly striking in its own way. The gore, though. My god. |

These two must be amongst Trump's favourite movies:
 Quote:
 It's got everything that Trump finds amazing: - Mexican villains - a giant Wall between USA and Mexico - Guns, bombs, even ultra mega big bombs - a heroic US President - Sofia Vergara shooting rounds and rounds and rounds of bullets from her tits and hips - there's no golfing though, perhaps that will be included in the next sequel .... when Machete kills again, in space Both movies are pretty stupid, but Machete Kills is stupid in a funny way :-) |
Bohemian Rhapsody.
Even with all the factual errors that I know exist, it's a good nostalgia trip for some eternal music. |
 saw this one actually a while ago, but I don't think I ever posted about it. This ain't the ordinary stupid Van Damme movie. It's filmed as if it's (auto-)biographical and it's comical too, but in a self-reflective way. I would highly recommend it, but note that as far as I recall the language is mostly French and even some Dutch. And possibly what I liked most about it was that it is shot mostly in one place, a post office in Brussels, and since I know Brussels quite well, it doesn't happen so often that there's a movie that feels like it's shot in my neighbourhood. I won't give out too many spoilers, but basically he plays himself, he just got out of the airport so he's tired and in a cab and urgently needs to visit the post office to get some money. Turns out that the post office is being robbed and the villains use him as a contact person to the police, so everybody thinks that he's the robber.  pacino & de niro, nothing much more to say. Just watch it |
whoa, for a moment i confused jcvd with jean claude van johnson, the tv show with... jcvd playing an intelligence operative. is it the same character? i loved the show and wanted more but the second season didn’t happen....
|
I don't know the series, only found out just now that it exists while seaching for a picture. Don't think it's the same, judging from the trailer. He plays "himself", not a secret agent that is an actor as a decoy as I think the series is about.

oh. check it out. you might like. it’s hilarious/ridiculous/sad/hilarious. great self-parody

I love that film to bits but part of me really wishes the Pacino-DeNiro angle wasn't there. I'm a fan of both but while I definitely think DeNiro is brilliant in it, for me Pacino's performance (although not bad in its own right) doesn't quite fit with the film's overall tone. Still a great great movie though. |

Why would you say that?  |
 Hell yeah. |

classic 90s—improves on the original jane austen |
Makes you wonder:
1) How many 90s teen movies were reimaginings of classic stories 2) How many people realize it and would enjoy the original works after seeing movies based on them. |
Quote:
it’s been refried variously as “dangerous liaisons” (80s? but not teen) “valmont” (malkovich? or a different one?) “cruel intentions” (there’s the 90s teen movie i was looking for) & various others. such a potent story holds up to many remakes. but the original novel! HOLY FUCK. nothing like it. it was written by a fortress designer— no joke, he worked for napoleon. the novel is kind of like a fortress in itself— very intelligently constructed, and as you approach it you will be blown away multiple times by the cannons. highly highly highly recommended. it’s an old book, and the english translations are very good. |
me no enjoy boring comedy of manners books...... ;)

I hate books/movies where the only plot point is that rich white people are inconvenienced by something they can't buy their way out of.

 Simply Amazing! I didn't know they had colour tv during WOI :rolleyes: Brilliantly made documentary  Not a great movie but very entertaining with some funny moments. De Niro has actually the worst role of the family. The ladies steal the show |
Colorized version, it's vignettes of the experiences of Englishmen on the trench line of WW1. As vignettes, it has no real single POV, nor an overarching theme. It's very tragic. Better done documentary was the 3 part series done called American Experience: the Great War, which provides the essential overview, background, history and follow up to the entire period. Among one of the biggest absences is the presence of any other than white Englishmen. The English "colonies" provided a lot of troops, and there is also little mention of any of the other protagonists, French, American, little is shown about the Germans until the very end. It is also overly long. As a drama, the Cieux de 14 series (French) is a lot better at illustrating the overall feeling of the war for the common troops. So, it's not all that good. Your mileage may vary.
