  1. I don't usually mind plot problems as much. I just enjoyed KOTCS for what it was.
  2. I'll be an odd-man out, and say despite its problem, I quite enjoyed KOTCS. I think it's an entertaning adventure film anyway. Its biggest issue is the overreliance on CGI, and even then that doesn't bother me as much as it should. The first half is pretty solid too. I'm looking forward to the fifth film.
  3. Adam's Rib - Those old Tracy and Hepburn films were pretty good, I'll admit. This one's no exception. 7.5 / 10
  4. A Quiet Place - A very intense almost dialogue free horror film, that relies more on the characters constant state of fear, and strong performances to carry it, along with Krasinki's solid direction. It's early, but I predict this'll end up on my top ten of the year. I liked it a lot. - 9 / 10
  5. Isle of Dogs - Anderson's latest stop-motion offering may not hit the highs of say Fantastic Mr. Fox, but it's still a great clever entertaining time, with memorable characters, Plus igreat animation, strong vocal performances, and some surprisingly really good political commentary. Plus it's really funny too. - 8 / 10
  6. Wow, sad unexpected news. In addition to Amadeus, and Cuckoo's Nest, I saw Hair for the first time only a month ago. What a strange impressive counter-culture musical that film is. I've also been meaning to see Ragtime for some time, but haven't gotten around to it yet (that'll change soon, hopefully). Forman was a superb filmmaker.
  7. Very nerve-racking, and fitting for a film about constant dread. It's nothing something I'd really want to listen on my own though, save for a cue or two, but it works great in the film. As for the film itself, I'm a fan, I especially love the cinematography, it just makes the whole thing look "raw", and the editing is fantastic too. This time I also saw the film with my mom, who's not a big fan of war films, but she found the film effective enough.
  8. The score has been growing-on me on more listens. I love the themes, and the music cameos. I would have liked to have seen Williams score this, but I'm quite fine that we got Silvestri instead.
  9. Not to the extent that they used to, especially when a film could say have a 6X multipler. Shorter theater runs ensure something like that doesn't happen though, but I digress. Without sounding a bit biased (I think Spielberg's recent films are just as good as his older films), I'll say that as directors get older, things can change. Someone like Spielberg's 71. He doesn't really have much to prove at this point. It's true of a lot of artists as they get older, and move into comfortable terrority. Some make worse films, others just make samesy films and so-on. For me, I mostly really enjoy those new Spielberg films, and find I get a lot out of them, so I can't complain.
  10. Well Spielberg will never have another E.T. or Jaws like run, because the box office is much different now, that doesn't mean RPO is a failure though. It dropped 41% this weekend, and is likely going to do over 600mww (it's blowing-up in China). A Quiet Place is doing great business too, but that's not really effecting RPO's box office. It's looking to have a solid run in terms of BO and legs.
  11. A Prophet - Pretty great French drama about an Iran Man that's sent to prison. Given the acclaim, I'm surprised it's taken me so long to see it. A long film, but I found most of it quite compelling - 8.5 / 10
  12. Yeah, kinda. I assumed you were complaining about the music in the film in general. A lot of trailers are scored like that way honestly. My bad.
  13. The music in the trailer was likely trailer music, save for the use of the SW theme at the end. I doubt it'll be in the actual score.
  14. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/ready-player-one-what-is-james-hallidays-motivation-1098908 While Ready Player One is still going strong in theaters, Silvestri is just weeks away from releasing his next big film. “It’s funny because I feel like everything is still shaking… the dust hasn’t quite settled just yet," he said last week by phone. "I wrapped Infinity War yesterday, and it was a really different experience than anything I’d done before, especially in regard to the approach and balancing quick shifts in tone."
  15. This was (un)surprisingly hard to do. 1. The Last Jedi 2. Prisoner of Azkaban 3. The Force Awakens 4. Memoirs of a Geisha 5. Revenge of The Sith 6. Sorcerer's Stone 7. The Adventures of Tintin 8. War Horse 9. Lincoln 10. Catch Me if You Can / The Terminal (hard to choose between one or the other right now).
  16. Watched the second season entirely yesterday. Really fun, captures the dark humorous tone of the books quite well. It was especially great to see The Carnivorous Carnival adapted. As for the music, I quite liked what I heard, sounded dark and whimsical. I wouldn't mind listening to it on its own
