Jamie Dutton 7,700 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Spider-Man in 4K UHD. It's an impeccable transfer of a solid movie made mostly pre-9/11 when everything had started to suck and released slightly edited post-9/11, arguably retelling the mythos of the character's origin the best we've ever seen in a movie. I didn't care for the change to Norman Osborn's death scene. Not sure why that even happened, really. Lady Dimitrescu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Dutton 7,700 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Spider-Man 3 4K UHD This is an over-bashed third entry. There's a lot going on here and many characters with arcs that lead them down the path to the dark side before they turn back or get exploded by a pumpkin bomb with an alien substance. I think this is MJ's movie. After a disastrous opening musical number, she's fired and elicits the only consistently sympathetic performance as she's beat down by life, unable to confide in her man because she's so ashamed and he's acting like such an ass. The men in this flick are acting like a bunch of nutjobs and MJ of course ends up in the crossfire of these freaks. Kirsten gives her most naturalistic performance and you can't help but root for her. Lady Dimitrescu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 9,632 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Jurassic World 1 is on TV. I really like the Indominus Wrecks sequence, the editing and Giacchino's score really sell the growing desperation and horror. Now, the movie overall is crap. But it's still watchable and mostly entertaining. One of those shit movies that I don't mind the crappiness. The sequels though...
