Sweeping Strings 2,352 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Escape From New York - it's many years since I last saw this slice of dystopian sci-fi from John Carpenter, with Kurt Russell at his most gruffly anti-heroic (a persona he'd send up in Carpenter's Big Trouble In Little China, just 5 years after this) and support from the likes of Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Isaac Hayes, Harry Dean Stanton and Adrienne Barbeau and her fine rack (sadly kept under wraps in this, but as Google has shown me that was very much not the case in other parts she played). Wyrmwood : Road Of The Dead - this Aussie action-horror is basically Mad Max with zombies. Looks much better than it has any right to on its budget, and has an energy and a few original touches (and some humour) that make it well worth a go.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 BMW Films presents... Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation While I enjoyed both of these, they lose a lot of identity compared to the first three films with Bad Robot overseeing production. They feel like a continuation of the Abrams aesthetic rather than having their own style. The set pieces are all pretty fantastic, but there were some pretty goofy CGI stunts that felt out of place as well, but all in the good name of promoting the amazing safety features of BMWs! Paula Patton didn't do any favors to 4, and Josh Holloway and Lea Seydoux were underutilized. I also found it underwhelming that they blew the main stunt right at the beginning of 5. It didn't even have a proper resolution, just cut straight to credits when he pulled the chute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now wonder if there was some truth in what Elizabeth Banks said about his movies in a not-so-diplomatic way. Besides The Color Purple and Sugarland Express, he's often shied away from using female leads. Although in RPO's case, it was based on a novel afterall.

mstrox 6,651 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Watched a handful this weekend! 1) The Princess and the Frog - pretty good Disney animated musical. I wasn't hooked until the midpoint, but heck if I wasn't tearing up by the end of it. Twelve stars! 2) Alice in Wonderland - The Disney version. I know I'd seen this as a kid, but I remembered zero of it. I was surprised with how aimless/plotless it was - kind of by necessity, given the looniness and source material. It was pretty good. Ten stars! 3) Iron Man - We started a slow rewatch of the Marvel universe. The villain was cheesy once he suited up, and Robert Downey Jr.'s hair was very bad in a 2008 sort of way. Otherwise held up well. Two thumbs up! 4) Inside Out - this was a rewatch, too. First time for my kid. She was very sad when we lost "Ding Dong." Also noted some good scoring that I forgot about towards the end. I love this one. Four stars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
