Done on zero budget, really impressed with the FX and cinematography. The directer did very well. I dislike FF but this was a delight.

A bit of a drag in parts. Images were kinda cool. Always love black vomit.

I'm a part of that group already haha

Wonder Woman and Get Out are my favorites of the year so far

Oh, ok.....never mind then.

Pride prejudice and zombies - 6.5/10 - Predictable romance, but some fun bits. I liked the contrast between the gore (could have done with a bit more, though) and the stiff upper lip.

Pretty impressive. The best DC film I have seen in recent times.

And I think I am in love. My kind of Gal.

Did you like Alien Covenant?

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas-2008. That ending was unexpected, it's been awhile since a movie has upset me in such a way.

It was a fine film in terms of visuals & effects.

As for story and continuing the alien storyline, meh. So much anticipation built up after the Prometheus debacle and Scott just rehashes the same story with elements of the original Alien thrown in.
Neither the Neomorph nor the Xenomorph were scary, and we had another crew of 15 for which nobody cared about. At least Elizabeth Shaw had a strong vibe going in Prometheus, whereas Daniels was just another crew member in Covenant. Disappointing.
The only one who did anything worth his salt was Fassbender, but there's only so much one talent can do, in a film designed to dazzle and make you go oohs and aahs by throwing a Xenomorph into the fray.
Ridley has definitely lost his touch. High time someone replaces him and continues the mythology. I dread to imagine what all they will conjure up for the 3rd part, and connect it with the original Alien. Whatever it will be, I am sure we should brace ourselves for another disappointment.

My rating would be 2 and half stars. I think I liked Prometheus better than this one, plotholes aside.

In a way it was like a slasher, introducing characters just to kill them off one by one in gruesome fashion. But that being said: spines out!

I Spit on Your Grave III, 2015. 5/10



Clearly the worst of the three with II being the superior.

Genesis, 1998. 10/10




Such an amazing piece of cinema. Masterpiece. Always gets me when I watch it. Always new. ::love::

Couldn't agree more! After all these years, Ridley tried to give us an Alien origin story...and surprised or actually disappointed to see him came up with this lame idea of an android went rogue & created this whole mess! Miserably killing off the Engineers from the plot (expected to see & know more about them), this movie was more of like a daring fan-effort with their own convoluted version of a forced origin story rather than something came out from the original writer & director of the franchise.
Instead of wasting time & money on this so called "origin trilogy" or whatever, I think it'd be lot better & interesting if they launched an anthology-style 3 or 4 part independent series with different promising directors i.e. Neill Blomkamp, Denis Villeneuve, Matt Reeves or Daniel Espinosa (the guy who made a solid Alien-esque sci-fi horror LIFE this year!) to treat the Alien mythology in their own way.

A Man Called Ove (2015)

https://s3.postimg.org/wbuwo6tab/Ove.jpg

Ove, an ill-tempered, isolated retiree who spends his days enforcing block association rules and visiting his wife's grave, has finally given up on life just as an unlikely friendship develops with his boisterous new neighbors.

A wonderfully moving comedy-drama from Sweden, nominated for Best Foreign language film category in Oscar 2017. Loved it!

One Man & his Cow aka La Vache (2016)

http://i64.tinypic.com/b46z5g.jpg

After years of applying for it, Fatah, an Algerian peasant from an obscure village, finally gets an invitation to attend & take his beloved cow 'Jacqueline' to the Paris agricultural fair and competition. With the help of his fellow villagers, Jacqeline and Fatah crosses the Mediterranean and start walking across France for Paris. Fatah meets many good people who helps him for his innocence & determination.

A delightful, feelgood French comedy.

>>: B+

It Comes At Night. Really braised off at the misleading title. The movie was good but I can't really sing it's praises considering it tries to pass itself off as a monster movie and there's no, bloody, monster in it whatsoever.

By the way does anyone know why the forum was down for so long?

Saw it not to long ago and loved it! I think the thing you say is missing is its budget. It had a low one but it worked around it somewhat well, IMO.

In case of another crash, you can find me and a couple of other members over here

If more of you join, we could turn it into a second HDC.

Saw it last year or early this year. Best movie I've seen in a long time.
I highly recommend it to everyone.

Budget didn't bother me. Thought the story was a little too thin. Or maybe it's just my taste.

Black Dog (1998)

It's been quite a long time since I've last seen a decent, old school-entertaining road-action flick like this. Good for a change.

Spider-Man: Homecoming or Stark Internship (2017)

https://s14.postimg.org/4nhqb3n7l/Sp...omecoming1.jpg

May be overall not as great as Raimi's Spider-Man 2 but still quite a fun & grounded teen superhero flick for MCU. Loved Tom Holland's take on Spider-Man and Michael Keaton as Vulture. Stark's update on Spidey's new suit (Suit Lady - Karen, voiced by Jennifer Connelly) was somewhat over the top though in the middle segment.

Anyway, another solid Marvel entertainer, the 2nd best superhero flick of the year after LOGAN; by a margin, I guess but now Wonder Woman comes third, IMO.

The Blackcoat's Daughter

Well, at the risk of sounding like an idiot......I don't get it. I didn't understand this movie at all. And what's with everyone whispering their lines?!

BURN AFTER READING (2008). Decent Coen Brother film, but strange/convoluted in the extreme. Funny turns by Brad pitt and John Malkovich. ***

It's not you, it's the movie.

I quite dislike stories like this and I always wonder who in their right mind would fund this after reading the script.

You made me feel better, Baron! Thanks!

Bad Frank, 2017. 6/10

http://www.joblo.com/images_arrownews/badfrank-out.jpg


This wasn't too bad, having two old friends going up against one another, which one is more insane then the other. Some interesting sick dialog from Tom Sizemore's character just wish it was put to screen. Brutal.

DREAM HOUSE 2011


A family move into a new home but find out a woman and her two young children were murdered there. I really enjoyed it.

I give it an A as well. Homecoming is the best Spider-Man film overall, even beating out Spider-Man 2, IMO.

Tom Holland is hands down superb and is the best live action representation of the character, bar none! Tobey Maguire was great as Peter Parker but was ok as Spider-Man.

Andrew Garfield was awesome as Spider-Man and wasn't to bad as Parker but didn't quite capture The Web Singers alter ego.

Holland portrayed both sides of The Wall Crawler to a tee. He showed PP's angst and frustration in his normal, every day life as an unpopular, nerdy kid; getting bullied constantly. But when he slapped on the costume he had SP's wit and humour down pat while still making you realize it was Peter underneath the mask. It's my favorite super-hero movie of the year.

A Man Called Ove, 2015. 8/10

Wonder Woman

I was impressed... out of all the DC films we've gotten in the past decade, this was probably the best I've seen. It was brighter, bolder, and had the strength of a superhero without the overkill on angst that we're so used to seeing from DC these days. The scene were Wonder Woman takes back ''No Man's Land'' still gives me chills thinking about it (how friggin hot she was aside), it was a game changer for superhero movies, and I hope others take note from it and improve.

SPOILERS!! -highlight below to see-
Of course it couldn't last though... The end got REALLY hammy. At one point when Wonder Woman finishes off the bad guy and all should be well but it isn't, she realizes that humans aren't perfect, and sometimes people are just horrible for the sake of being horrible. It was an interesting take and I enjoyed it at that point. But then Aries shows up and it just went to shit. Although I enjoy seeing David Thewlis playing a badass villain... I'm sorry, hun, but you're just not mean to be the God of War.

The movie takes place during WWI, before the evil of Hitler... so how does Aries being DEAD explain any other violence there after? After the big fight soldiers from both sides just start hugging and getting all affectionate, and it seems there's a very obvious difference with Aries's death. It just doesn't make sense. It could've ended on a high note, they instead went a cheesy safe route that just didn't work.

That is to say it's not worth a buy when it comes out on DVD and after a while drops in price. I'll certainly look to grab it to savor that battlefield scene again.

Wonder Woman (2017)
8/10

People were mentioning some surprises, or surprising things, in Wonder Woman. I don't know what they were referring to... ???? The 'who was Ares' was going to be a surprise -- which isn't surprising... I'm assuming people meant something(s) besides that....???

It had a good display of values: love, self sacrifice, peace, and refreshingly... grace. We really don't want to always get exactly what we deserve. In fact we are so fortunate we don't. It's a concept probably little explored these days.

"Wonder Woman as invincible god" -- can't be injured/killed... boring!!!
I always had a problem with characters/superheroes who were basically invincible. It's really boring. LIke Superman fighting another Superman or a Thor... they hit each other in the face... with their fist, or a tank... and what is that supposed to do anyway? It appears to hurt, or stun them... just how exactly is it hurting or stunning them? It's never explained... Can't really be injured or killed by hits, so what's the point, no consequences... it's so boring.

So they are going to have Wonder Woman be a 'god'? She's as strong and invincible as Superman, and doesn't even have a "Kryptonite" to harm her? Boring. These 'invincible superhero' fights are so ridiculous -- like the Wonder Woman Vs Ares fight -- so they smack each other with a tank and it knocks them back without injuring them... why are we watching this? If they have a consequential attack, please just get to it already... we've seen a 1000 of these pointless CG fights already... so boring.

Well said. I saw the soldiers hugging, but I couldn't tell they were from different sides from the shots... I just kinda assumed it. In actual history... the week of Christmas 1914 French, German, and British soldiers crossed trenches to exchange seasonal greetings, talk, ventured into no man's land on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to mingle and exchange food and souvenirs. There were joint burial ceremonies and prisoner swaps, while several meetings ended in carol-singing. A great F-U to the gods of war.

As far the movie goes with Aries causing war, I think the film was also saying it didn't take much prodding from Aries... so I didn't really wonder about WWII without Aries around... but you know these films, maybe he isn't reallyh dead. ::big grin::

lolz! Valid points though. On other thing that lately I was thinking about DC films is about its Villains. From MAN OF STEEL to the upcoming JUSTICE LEAGUE...so far most of villains were either extraterrestrial, supernatural or mythological super human character(s). The thing is other than psychotic Luthor in BvS, DC is throwing villains with otherworldly abilities or characteristics. This may get somewhat 'boring' in time or 'less interesting' than Marvel where you can find a good number of human character villains also leading the main bad guy role in MCU i.e. Iron Man films, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Ant-Man, Captain America: Civil War and lastly Spider-Man: Homecoming which is providing diversity in stories, characters & their settings.

Black Butterfly (2017)

https://s12.postimg.org/jhk1rfzul/Black-_Butterfly.jpg

It was a good change for Banderas to see him in the role of a broke, failed writer but the young actor Jonathon Rhys Meyers mainly steals the show in his psychotic drifter character until the 2-part "twisted endings" emerged at the finale. The first twist was kinda nonsensical or exaggerated. The 2nd or the final twist was just awful! The kind of a WTF ending that would make you feel "why the hell I wasted my time watching this shit?!"

Personal Shopper (2016)

https://s22.postimg.org/a5yzwf9ap/image.jpg

A dull film (like Kristen Stewart was throughout this & most other films) about one or two little ghostly encounters and her character texting messages on her phone most of the time!
