Ryan Reynolds is such a strange action lead since he conveys such a sissy persona with a high, girly voice. Oddly so many seemingly simple shots in this movie look like they were shot with green screen on a sound stage - it always takes me out of it when they do that! And yet it works great when he's Deadpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Godzilla 2: City on the Edge of Battle These anime flicks have been a huge disappointment so far. Maybe I just don't get the format or the neon-tech-gee-wiz appeal of these movies, but it's too much talk-talk-talk and not enough actual monster stuff. The one good scene is where that guy tells that other guy about a monster worse than Godzilla, he whispers it and we don't hear it, but we all know he's saying "Ghidorah".

SteveMc 2,674 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Amistad (1997) An excellent effort from Spielberg. He manages to find an engaging balance between drama and comedy, brutality and humanity, presenting it all as different sides of the same coin. Some fine performances here from the cast (Hounsou is vital and McConaughey rather charming indeed) and from the crew, Kaminiski and Khan especially bringing their A games. Williams's score is also fantastic. Some definitely moving passages in this film, even if Spielberg goes over the top a couple of times. Only this, historical discrepancies, and the structural problem of having McConaughey's character recede a bit into the woodwork towards the end to make way for Anthony Hopkins, keep me from giving it full marks. 3.5/4 The Illustrious Jerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Watching The Day the Earth Stood Still. The only version anyone should ever watch. This is such a great film. The acting and direction is superb. The effects are terrific for the time. The score is exceptional at provoking paranoia. I have it on disc but I watch it whenever it comes on tv. Love the score as its used in Lost in Space. Fabulin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,338 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Now you see me 2. Not bad, if a little too long and convoluted, but that might be because it's been ages since I've watched the first film. This was also my first Daniel Radcliffe movie in which he didn't play Harry Potter and I liked him in the beginning, though he and his character became rather annoying and unconvincing later on. Lizzy Caplan was great, except when she spoke in a British accent, but Morgan Freeman's final scene was really absurd. I also found myself losing some interest during the final trick, though that quickly changed and Mark Ruffalo's casting was spot on. The score's opening cue was amazing, but the soprano/alto near the end of the film didn't work at all. Some nice bits scattered throughout the rest.

Great special effects, funny script, Michael Peña kills it. Probably my favourite Marvel film from last year. I much prefer these standalone entries than the assemble ones.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 1976 Carrie. This is a B-film masterpiece. This is film where everything seems to fall into place. The direction is superb, DePalma seems to have so much fun. The acting is remarkable. Featuring an ensemble cast full of soon to be familiar faces. It features a star making role as Sissy Spacek is Carrie, for which she receives an Academy Award nomination for best actress. Piper Laurie as Margaret White is terrifying. The rest of the cast would make their mark here or elsewhere. What can you say about Pino Donaggio's score that hasn't been said. For me its one of the essentials. And that ending with its dream like quality. And yes that is Spacek's hand at the end. ACTING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very, very small doses. For the most part, his aesthetic gives me an actual headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
