SteveMc 2,674 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 What's the consensus here about Malek and Rhapsody winning the Globes? I didn't watch the film, but I get the sense from reading reviews and summaries that it was just solid all 'round, but nothing spectacular.

John 2,032 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Wow, I really, really loved this. Great writing, great soundtrack, fun characters, solid emotional beats; it ticked off every box for me. And the animation; man, this is a beautiful looking movie. Visually, it blew me away. This will be remembered as a groundbreaker in the animation genre. Without a doubt the best Spider-Man movie, and maybe the best Marvel movie, period. It’s that good.

The first one was actually quite good, with some really imaginative animation. It was whimsical and heartfelt. The latter was... ok. I liked some of the music.

Music is strangely better mixed here than it was when I saw this in theatres. Or at least, I can actually hear it this time. We just watched it tonight as well, the credits are still rolling. The music was delightful, ie all the appearances of classic themes interspersed at appropriate times. Nice action flick for kids, a good cast, but the main actor only has one acting style: smile like a goofball the whole time. I had to explain to my wife that the hologram was who she thought.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Did a horror double feature. The Nun and Hell Fest. Probably should have said horrible double feature but despite both films having issues I found something to like in each film. I loved the demonic nun in The Nun. What I really liked was the totally ballsy ending to Hell Fest. Wonderfully completely disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, well. Their loss. Some of my favourite apocalyptic films are the MAD MAX trilogy, ON THE BEACH, THE DAY AFTER, BBC's THREADS, WHEN THE WIND BLOWS, WAR OF THE WORLDS (either version), SHAUN OF THE DEAD, and THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE. The BBC also did three good apocalyptic TV shows - SURVIVORS ('70s version) THE CHANGES, and THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS. Oh, yeah, there's also WHOOPS APOCALYPSE.

Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 No, Joe, you wouldn't. The Howard Keel DOTT, is not good. The BBC DOTT, is not bad, mainly because of John Duttine's central performance. Oh, yeah; the BBC also did an adaptation of THE TRIPODS. It wasn't brilliant. Hey, guys, would either 1984, or the MATRIX trilogy count as "post-apocalyptic"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The Matrix is overrated. The sequels are crap. I never thought of it as apocalyptic. Richard I liked the Howard Keel Triffids as kid and thought it was cool. I love the basic story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
