Black Sabbath Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 It Comes At Night 3.5/5 - The Mist mixed with a dash of Cabin Fever and less cheese than both. It had its moments and it's more tension-based than anything, but it wasn't bad. Worth watching. Power Rangers 2/5 - This was pretty "meh". Most of the acting is not very good outside of the guys that play the Red and Blue rangers. Whether you're a fan of the original series or not, this movie isn't really worth seeing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Mother Of Tears it's a Dario Argento movie which means plenty of gore, nudity not much plot, nothing new anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdeyahlxp Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 On my "Lynch Binge" I watched season 1 & 2 of Twin Peaks and the prequel movie "Fire Walk with Me". Loved the series (except for middle part of season 2 with all those unnessecary plot lines), the movie however is just fucking weird. Some scenes are really great, but it doesn't blend together very well in the final product. I still need to watch Inland Empire, Wild at Heart, Elephant Man, The Straight Story, Dune and of course the new 3rd season of Twin Peaks.

bucketfoot Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Saw The Mummy last week and fuck me, while it was pretty terrible, I somehow found it quite entertaining. I'd seen that the reviews were shocking but still quite fancied seeing it. It didn't seem to know whether it wanted to be a horror or a comedy, so was a weird mix of both, the main problem being it wasn't particularly scary or funny enough to be either, although there were a couple of decent gags in there and some good action. I found myself chuckling away through the second half as it got more and more ridiculous (Russell Crowe) and came out thinking 'what the fuck was that?' Still, it killed a couple of hours I suppose. Honestly don't know what score to give it. Edited June 20, 2017 by bucketfoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with Dune it's incomprehensible gibberish for the most part... if only Jodorowsky had managed to complete his version. The Straight Story is absolutely outstanding and not even a little bit weird... which is very weird for Lynch. Wild at Heart is great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Logan. Didn't really like it. Ouija: Origin of Evil. This was actually pretty good. Better than I expected. I don't even think I watched Oujia, but this story was told in a way so the first movie isn't a must watch first. I doubt I even watch the first one now since I've heard it sucks.

AxlsFavoriteRose Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Surfer Dude 2008 Matthew McConaughey Woody Harrelson wow i didn't realize this was so old. the plot was okay, Matthew and Woody were superb and seeing the ocean and the waves made me ache to go to the ocean. all in all i'd rather watch Endless Summer again but it was pretty good. 7.2/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlsFavoriteRose Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 To Joey,With Love the true story of Joey and Rory Feek, a country duo. Joey ,who didn't want a baby because she was afraid she would be a bad mother but finally decided she did want a one. she has the baby but it turns out the baby has Down's Syndrome but the the couple are fine with it and they love their baby so much. but then it turns out Joey has cancer. things seem to be okay but then the cancer takes a turn for the worse. finally Joey decides to stop treatment. she makes it past the holidays but dies March 4,2016. it was based on Rory Feek's blog who narrates the show and was absolutely hearbreaking and uplifting at the same time. 10/10... i highly recommend it.

J Dog Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Yea Scorsese knows how to use music too. I love his selections on Goodfellas. I liked the radio station they listened to all during Dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlsFavoriteRose Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) ok @Len Cnut this is for you. watched Trainspotting again. had to turn away during the toilet scene. and the baby death was terrible not really sure what the point was...they couldn't face living a normal life so they used heroin? Robert Carlyse... i finally remembered where i saw him before One Upon A Time but he was a dick. Jonny Lee Miller was sooo hot! looked up what he looks like now and he's still doable. the end was great though so it was better than the first time i watched it.. might even watch the sequel Edited June 24, 2017 by AxlsFavoriteRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it was the fuckin' upbeat zeitgeist movie of the 90s, it's hardly grimy as films about junkies go. It has grim aspects to it but it generally very upbeat at its heart and soul, begins with Lust for Life and a long rant about a rejection of the boring soul-destroying aspects of modern life and ends in extoling them, its a redemption tale overall and it did star a bunch of young fresh faced new kids on the block like Ewan and Johnny Lee Miller and them. I remember reading on the inside sleeve of some a Johnny Thunders CD that if they had used his Chinese Rocks instead of Lust for Life as the junkie rock n roll anthem to begin the film with its redemptive ending would've been harder to pull off. Films like Story of a Junkie and The Man With the Golden Arm and Requiem For A Dream and The Panic in Needle Park are a lot more grim as stories about junkies go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised if it doesn't really translate that well across the pond. Imagine them trying to get their heads around the jock accents.... especially Spud?
