Just watched the new Ghostbusters and it's so good. It's also a great example of how to do cameos

I plan on seeing that one soon.  I wasn't going to at first after that trailer, but from what I've read it sounds like a lot of fun.

Edit: At this point I also want to see it on general principle as a big "fuck you" to the sexists and racists.

I enjoyed it too. Although I'm looking forward to the extended release because I thought it seemed a little roughly edited in a couple spots. There's been a couple articles saying there'll be an additional fifteen minutes.

Saw the BFG today and loved it. V different from most modern children's movies. Visuals were astonishingly good and, for once,  the 3D added to the experience. Warmly recommended.

Saw the new Star Trek last week, in IMAX. I enjoyed it and thought it was more even than the previous movies in the new series, but it wasn't spectacular or extraordinary. Felt like an extremely well produced episode of a TV show. Don't see it in 3D, it adds nothing and makes everything way too dark and dull.

The Purge Anarchy. Sequel better than original. Better execution of the concept and more interesting characters.

Saw Star Trek Beyond.

Its.....a decent film. I mean, it wasn't disappointing, but at the same time it wasn't going to light the world on fire.

I just watched the Boy and the Beast and Hateful Eight.

The Boy and the Beast was made by Mamoru Hosoda and as such was amazing, just like Summer Wars and Wolf Children.
Hateful 8 wasn't as great

Over on his Twitter feed, Jeph sarcastically suggested that the mysoginist crowd be sated by remaking Splash! but with a merman rather  than a mermaid. Yes; ha-ha, very ironic and...

And...

And actually I like that idea! I actually think that you could make it work! :-D

Suicide Squad

Potentially excellent but ultimately flawed movie that could have been as enjoyable as GotG and Deadpool if the fuckwits at DC hadn't decided to weigh it down with way too much cgi-laden crap and a whole lot of unnecessary Leto. Made parts of the movie disjointed in a bad way. If they'd cut 95% of the cgi-monsters and/or added 30-45 mins to the runtime it may have been better. Still, I liked it. Don't see it in 3D. Post-credits scene is, of course, related to Justice League.

Ghostbusters

Fuck the internet, I had a good time :)

Some problems with pacing and comic timing.

Most of the cast was good but Kate McKinnon stole the show.

I gotta admit, I'm really looking forward to a sequel... but I hope they get a different director.

I gotta admit, I'm really looking forward to a sequel... but I hope they get a different director.

Same here, I was expecting blandness (like the Robocop reboot), but it was actually halfway decent.

From the trailers and the fact that Paul Fieg is the director I was also expecting juvenile humor.... and that's what I got.
Aaaaand those were the parts I didn't like. Fart jokes and ghosts suddenly vomiting ectoplasm for no reason doesn't fit the humor of the other Ghostbusters movies.

There's a superior little thriller/horror called The Invitation on Netflix. Very good at ratcheting up tension, quite lavishly shot and very subtly acted.

Watched a little indie film called He Never Died starring Henry Rollins as an immortal cannibal. I quite enjoyed it. It was weird in a low key kind of way.

Watched "Dark Was the Night" yesterday, though I just found out it was called "Monster Hunter" in the Uk and Ireland.

Its basically a small town sheriff has to deal with increasingly disturbed events happening around town, while also dealing with a recent personal loss. The film feels like its leading to his breakdown or something drastic before it becomes more of a traditional horror. I mean, its a decent film and maybe one to watch if there nothing else on, but its not a particularly scary horror film.

To be fair, very few horror films are actually scary. I can't really remember the last one I saw that was.

True, most horror films these days tend to rely on gore or disgust to horrify, which is not the same thing as fear. Also jump scares? Not scary. They, like every other cheap trick in those films, have been played to death.

But like you, I can't remember the last genuinely scary horror film I watched. The ones these days, I just zone out or I just forget it altogether.

That said, the last genuinely scary film I remember was Lord of the Flies, but that's not a horror.

Watched 10 Cloverfield Lane last night, which is amazing for like 90 minutes and then goes off the fucking rails at the end.

Also watched Days Of Future Past the other day, finally, and what a disappointment that movie turned out to be. When I heard the two casts were uniting I expected a lot more - you know, like actual conversation between some of the characters from the two movies? Patrick Stewart barely said anything, same with Ian McKellan. Fuck that, man. And the plot was boring.

I will say this much though, Peter Dinklage is someone quite extraordinary. I'm well aware that his fame-defining role is as a character whose main thing is that he is a dwarf - but everything else I see him in, the character is not a dwarf. They are just a guy. And that guy is played by Peter Dinklage.

When you consider how hard it is for people to be cast in a part when they're black, let alone another racial minority, without that being expressly acknowledged in the part, I think Dinklage's success in this regard is miraculous. Whether that's to do with him or simply piggy backing on the GOT success I don't know, but it's something to think about.

Watched two films on a date last night. Byzantium and Tallulah. Both were fantastic.

Byzantium was a really interesting take on the vampire story. Starred Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton who both gave fantastic performances.

Tallulah totally deserves the praise it's bern getting. Ellen Page was amazing and her chemistry with  Allison Janney was incredible. The film hit all the right comedic and dramatic notes. You got a real feel for all of the characters, none of whom came off cliché or one note, just all real flawed people.

I can. The Witch earlier this year. Although maybe Green Room, which I saw slightly more recently. The Witch was definitely scarier, but both were just organically terrifying, not relying on jump scares at all.

So it's not strictly speaking a movie, but I just finished Netflix's Stranger Things. It was pretty good, but it definitely had its issues. Without getting into the plot, despite being displayed as a series...it's really not. It's just a six-seven hour long movie that's stored in eight places. That's not inherently a bad thing, and it's a good time killer, but it doesn't really feel like an actual show.

Just watched the first 3 episodes of "Stranger Things."  Its really good.  Like if Spielberg and Stephen King had a baby in the 80s.  The intro music itself is awesome.

I saw Kubo and the Two Strings today. I have a great love for Laika's films, so I broke my usual standard and went in with high hopes that I was going to see something special. Not only was I not disappointed, but the movie exceeded my expectations. The design work and stop motion animation was top notice. My draw especially dropped during several fight scenes when I realized now only how awesome everything flowed, but remembering all this was done using puppets shot one frame at a time. This is a far cry from the awesome-at-the-time jerky animation of Ray Harryhausen's skeletons.

The character interactions and chemistry was beautiful. The cast was limited of course, that is typical for Laika's productions. Which makes having the right chemistry between actors and characters all the more important. Character design is also top notch. My favorite being the primary antagonists the Sisters. I expect they will be very popular to cosplay. I know I would like to do so.

The story is probably the weakest part here, but I found I didn't mind. 'Surprise' second and third act reveals are pretty obvious from well before they happen. The story is familiar, and has been told many times before. In this case though, it felt to me more like I was watching a retelling of a classic story than someone just throwing plot points in a blender and pouring the results onto paper. While you could clearly see where the story was going well ahead of time, it all felt right. I may call the writing the weakest part, but that's just because everything else was so exceptional. Being predictable is not a bad thing when it makes you think you are watching an adaption of an ancient fairy tale.

In the end, I recommend this whole heartedly. Anyone from young teens to adults will probably like this, and it is well worth the price of admission. For younger children you will want to know their tolerance level to some scary scenes. The main point of the plot is that Kubo is the grandson of the immortal Moon King, who stole his left eye as an infant, and now wants to take his right one. The tale gets dark at times, as does their movies. So for the younger set, the scary parts might be to much. For them you might want to wait for it to come out on video, so that you can pause or stop it if things get to much for them.

I just watched it today and i loved it too! I wouldn't say it was their best work though, I think that's still with Paranorman. I would say it's either better or tied with Coraline. For me the first act was kind of slow and I found myself yawning a bit, but the other two acts made up for it. I'm still blown away by all the scenery and action, it having to be meticulously planned out and filmed over a long period of time.

I also watched Trumbo and the original Tron
-Trumbo was amazing and I might even say it should have one the oscar instead of the Revenant. Everyone in it was amazing
-Original Tron was weirder than I expected, especially since I saw the sequel back around when it first came out. Interesting aesthetics in the film.

Saw Hardcore Henry. It was even more like Breakdown than I expected.
I knew exactly how the movie was going to end 5 minutes after it started, but was entertained all the way through.

So I've been catching up on standup specials on Netflix :o

It all began with Aziz Ansari's "Buried Alive". I've had a soft spot for Aziz ever since we stalked him on our wedding day but I've always been a little ambivalent about his shows. Even so, "Buried Alive" was even more fun than his Netflix special in MSG and I've recommended all my friends who're in or entering that settle-down-have-kids phase of life to see it :o

After this I of course had to re-watch classics like Raw, Bring the Pain and Bigger & Blacker, For What It's Worth and Killing Them Softly, Live on Broadway etc after which I was hungry for new stuff so I ploughed through

Chris Rock - Live (bad. He wasn't really in it, his eyes were dead, kept laughing at his own jokes, the jokes frequently didn't land, nothing really felt genuine and it felt like a rip-off of Raw etc.)

Hannibal Buress - Comedy Kamisado (vulgar, sly, fun, better while drunk)

John Mulaney - The Comeback Kid (friendly, relaxed, well-written with perfect delivery... extremely white and a little Catholic)

Chelsea Peretti - One of the Greats (Gina from Brooklyn 99. Clever, confident, heartfelt and an absolute delight from beginning to end minus the weird gimmicks for the special)

Gabriel Iglesias - The Fluffy Movie (he gets pretty real, and it's like that part of Raw where Murphy talks about his dad... but Iglesias makes people happy instead of bumming them out)



I also finally got around to seeing Focus, because it was mentioned in like every review of Suicide Squad. I liked it, it was fun and exciting. Decent writing, great casting, solid performances even from the supporting actors. Margot Robbie was great, Smith was a little boring but still decent.

Just saw the Magnificent Seven remake. The performances were good, and the action scenes were ok, but overall...meh. Then again, I still need to see the original (and the real original, the Seven Samurai).

Def watch Seven Samurai, it is a masterpiece of filmmaking.

I've had a busy month doing the October Horror Movie Challenge, the 31 movies in 31 days version, and here's a breakdown of the movies I watched

Just watched The Maze Runner and enjoyed it.

Then I went to fanfiction.net and... there isn't one crossover with Portal! I mean, if there was any film that I've seen that absolutely cries out for it to all be one of GLaDOS's sadistic rats-in-a-maze 'experiments' it's that one! I mean, when they got into the service tunnel beyond the maze, I honestly expected to hear Still Alive start playing!

They couldn't have played Still Alive, else all the geeks would have stayed behind when it was in the cinema to sing along. Once the credits roll, they just want you gone. :claireface:

Just saw Arrival and my brain is still in a knot trying to re-organise the film in light of the final reel revelations.

Finally, a bit of crossover madness for Arrival and a certain major computer RPG:

Saw Fantastic  Beasts. Excellent production values, good direction,  decent script, lame leads. The supporting cast was awesome but Redmayne's stupid facial contortions and overacting annoyed me in the first part of the movie and Waterston kept failing to find the right level of anxiousness. Jakob and Queenie were great, as was Colin Farrell. Ezra Miller was meh and Johnny Depp earned a turkey in his two minutes of screen time, low point of his career. The Niffler stole the show.

The CGI-laden monster-movie-channeling climactic third act was not good, didn't do the rest of the movie justice at all, and the gimmicky solution near the end was lame but as a whole the film was thoroughly enjoyable and we were very pleased :)

That's the most damning positive review I've ever read.

I just watched the Spirit. It's campy as fuck, especially Samuel L Jackson, but not in a way I would call good.
