What Movies Have You Seen III

[Parra]

Margin Call - 8.5/10, one of the better stock market crash / yuppie culture movies. It's all dialogue and acting and it's seriously good.

The Big Short was great. I see Margin Call in comparisons - will give it a watch

 

[PJ]

Margin Call is a bit heavier and doesn't have Margot Robbie in a bath, so even though both are very good Big Short is better

 

[Aragorn]

Stupid Crazy Love

Lots of good laughs. Great casting too.

9/10

 

[PJ]

GOTG 2. Good, but a big step down from the first one.

 

[axl rose]

The Fate of the Furious. First one in the series ive seen, seems I wasn't missing much.

Both equally good but different types of movies.
Margin Call is more in Glengarry Glen Ross territory, it's all in the acting and atmosphere.

 

[Parra]

Ok , that got me. Now I have to see it.

Split - 8/10. Wow that was different. Should have flopped and died at even the thought of the concept, but the direction and incredible performance from McAvoy sells the daftness. It's a pity Shyamalan insists on writing his own stories, they rarely stick and when they don't the crash is spectacular. The man can direct though, if given solid material he can potentially do wonders.

Just got back from watching Alien Cov worth the price of admission

Loved GOTG2, can't directly compare it to the first one, they're different beasts.

I thought Guardians 2 was more of the same, which is really cool given the original maybe the most enjoyable film to come out of the Marvel renaissance.

Even if you ignore the interesting characters and enjoyable action set pieces, the films can almost be grouped alongside movies like Heavy Metal for the OST and psychedelic visuals.

I saw "Alien: Covenant". I simply could not get into it. It was surprisingly boring and the characters were pretty bland. Ridley Scott is normally so reliable but he has made a lemon here.

I will get laughed at here, but "Life" was soooo much better....and that had some weaknesses, although it was very good. The main weakness of "Life" was funny enough the characters.

2 out of 5 for me. Time the Alien franchise faces the same fate as the Terminator one.

I like their soundtracks. What was it this time? The 80's

There are still questions that need to be answered If David created the xenomorph that was introduce in the first Alien Film, than what was the Mural found depicting homeage to the Xenomorph in prometheus:

The events on prometheus happened in LV223, the Events of Alien happened in LV426 when the Nostromo arrived.

More 70s style pop/soft rock, it's just set to more extravagant locales and intense set pieces.

I haven't been able to get Silver's 'Wham Bam' out of my head since leaving the theatres.

Aesthetically it was more of the same but I think thematically it was heavier and more personal. The main characters were already established so there was room for a lot more interpersonal drama in this one than the first.

Get out....very very very good

 

[Wizardman]

Get out....very very very good

Yep, it is a bloody shame that it probably won't do well here and people will flock to see the more high profile releases out at the moment. Only movie I've seen that I'd give five stars this year....original and brilliant!!!

 

[Wizardman]

I have only ever seen two movies twice in the cinemas. "Get Out" was one of them...that is how good it was.
