JJ Husker Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Thought it might be handy to have a location for people to post their thoughts, likes and dislikes for movies they've recently watched. I know we have the Netflix thread and dedicated topics for some individual movies but this can be used as sort of a catch all for movies that don't fit those other threads well and that may not be worthy of their own topic. I'll start it off with the movie Life. Thought it was pretty good, better than I was expecting. Reminded me of Alien in many aspects but was not as dark and was faster paced. I'd recommend it. Don't think anyone will be pissed they watched it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Dunkirk was the sh#t. See it. 5/5 Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 King. Excellent story - should win some awards. The more I thought about it afterward I think I'd have focused more on certain years/themes but excellent. Quote Link to comment

Hooked on Huskers Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 21st century movies are mostly crap. Name one excellent movie from 2000 thru 2017 ?? None IMO ..... Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 21st century movies are mostly crap. Name one excellent movie from 2000 release or later ?? None IMO ..... Seems like folks have already suggested a few above that are after 2000. Your comment is not helpful at all. 1 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 21st century movies are mostly crap. Name one excellent movie from 2000 release or later ?? None IMO ..... There Will Be Blood, The Dark Knight, Moonlight, foreign films like L'Enfant... You either a) haven't seen enough of the right movies or b) are a curmudgeon. 4 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I saw Spiderman: Homecoming last night. Super enjoyable and Tom Holland is great as Spiderman. Probably my favorite Spiderman casting of the last 15 years. There are a couple plot issues I had concerns with, and one dinky storytelling decision they made, but it's also in the modern Marvel universe. That's the way they approach some of these films, so I'm OK with it. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment
Army_Allen Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Saw Despicable Me 3 with the family the other day and it was surprisingly good. The bad guy was straight from the 80's which had me and my wife in stitches for some reason. Spiderman was really good. Echoing what Enhance said with Tom Holland being great in it (not sure about better than Toby but that's for another time) and Keaton was a really relatable Vulture as well. But Wonder Woman is still my favorite movie of the year so far with a great story, good visuals and a hard carry from Gal Gadot. Chris Pine was tolerable I guess, and the rest of the cast had good chemistry. I still really want to see War etc of the Apes, Baby Driver, and Dunkirk though and have heard great things so fingers crossed. After a slower summer start with bombs like Pirates and Baywatch, it will be nice to see some solid summer flicks. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 21st century movies are mostly crap. Name one excellent movie from 2000 release or later ?? None IMO ..... Uh, Lord of the Rings I-III 1 Quote Link to comment

You either a) haven't seen enough of the right movies or b) are a curmudgeon. Most days, curmudgeon ..... Definition of curmudgeon : a crusty, ill-tempered, and usually old man......... that's right; my age is 64 years old . Never attended movie theater for the past 15 years or so ..... me and Curtis Reeves were buddies 1 Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Saw Dunkirk yesterday. This is the movie I was looking forward to seeing the most this summer. It was good, but I didn't like it as much as I wanted to, I want more than just non stop action. I felt the same way about the newest Mad Max movie. Have also seen Spider Man, Wonder Woman, and Dispicable me 3. All three were pretty good. I think I liked Spider Man the best, I liked the humor and slant they took with it. Wonder Wonman was by far the best DC movie made not directed by Chris Nolan. D3 was good, but not as good as the first 2. I loved the villan, but the brother story line was weak.

The Dude Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The Edge of Seventeen was an excellent comedy-drama. Woody Harrelson is the man. That awesome little girl from the True Grit remake is still awesome. Watch it with your wife/gf. She'll like it. Quote Link to comment
