Fun The Last Movie That You Watched?

[TheCatShamus]

Last film I saw in theater, John Wick Chapter 2. The action scenes were amazing. I'd give the movie a 7.5/10, actually slightly preferred the first (8/10). IMDb users seem to prefer Chapter 2, so my opinion seems to be in the minority.

Most recent movie I've watched, A Simple Plan (1998), just a few hrs ago, on a movie channel.

Give me any Ed Wood film over most of the big budget Hollywood films cranked out these days. Or some Full Moon Entertainment.

Batman and Robin. Really stupid movie, but (in my opinion) its a nice throwback to the old 1960's Batman with Adam West. It helps if I consider the movie a parody of Batman rather than an actual adaptation.

The Cat in the Hat. I can't stand some of the adult humor in the movie, and the screenplay is terrible, but the movie is freakin' hilarious.

Sharknado (2013)
Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014)
Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! (2015)
Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens (2016)

These have to be the dumbest movies out there, but my family and I still love to get together every time a new one is released.

Meet the Feebles

That movie is really something.

Just saw Poltergeist and the two previous films were also incredibly famous movies between 35 and 42 years old which I'd been aware of since they came out and never actually watched.

I read a review of the movie by Jeff Rovin, who wrote, "This movie should be called 'Logan's Ruin' because that's what it does to the excellent novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson." I agree completely!

The movie is OK, if you haven't read the book. But if you have read the book, the movie is a major disappointment. This is a rare instance where a remake could be better than the original. Given Hollywood's penchant for remaking every familiar title in sight, I'm surprised it hasn't happened to "Logan's Run" yet.

Whenever I read the original three LOGAN novels, I always picture Jenny Agutter as Jessica 6.

I'll always be grateful to the film for that, if nothing else.

It's a mixed bag. It looks good and is well cast - except for Flash and Dale! The Queen song is great. Overall, the movie is kind of "meh".

One is on the cards and has reached the script stage as of December 2016...

There have been earlier attempts to do a remake. Bryan Singer was attached to direct at one point.

The casting was one of the things they did right. The script was the problem. So many memorable scenes from the book were left out. They changed the ending too. Furthermore, Peter Ustinov's old man character was a poor substitute for Ballard from the book.

The trouble is that to be truly accurate to the novels, the cast needs to be mainly teenagers - and one middle-aged man who acts and looks like a teenager.

And no... William Shatner is too old now.

Girlfriend made me watch Jenny's Wedding which was just the most awful pile of crap (2/10).

Hunt For the Wilderpeople was great. Not as good as everyone made out but yeah, very good (7.5/10).

FAIL SAFE (1964) 5/5.

An absolutely brilliant Cold War thriller directed by Sidney Lumet. It’s based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Eugene Burdick and Harvey Wheeler. It stars Henry Fonda, Dan O'Herlihy, Walter Matthau, Larry Hagman, Fritz Weaver and Dom DeLuise. It’s the gritty and realistic portrayal of a fictional nuclear crisis. The fact that it was filmed in black and white, has no musical underscoring and contains many claustrophobic close-ups, sharp shadows and ponderous silences between several characters, gives it a very dramatic style.

Tend to think that the more accessible Taika Waititi's films become, the more the magic gets watered down - guess that's the price you've got to pay for reaching a broader audience. Though the funeral scene did have me in stitches, and matches it with the best he's ever done.

If you haven't already seen it, the kid Julian Dennison was in an ad Waititi did a while back, which was a kind of throw back to Two Cars, One Night

The priest was genius.

I loved What we do in the shadows too (we're werewolves, not swearwolves).
