NUinID Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Went with my son to see Alita Battle Angle. It was his birthday, he likes Japanese Anima and some of his internet geek movie critics ,that he trusts, said it was pretty good. I wasn't expecting much. It was actually a pretty entertaining movie. A good popcorn movie. It reminded me of Ready Player One mixed with a toned down Sin City. Which would make sense as it was directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Cdog923 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Saw Captain Marvel this weekend. Good for an MCU movie, great for all the little girls it will inspire to become comic book fans. I would give it an 8/10. 1 Quote Link to comment
Xmas32 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I echo all the BR stuff. It was a really entertaining flick. I'm pretty familiar with Queen's music but it's still a little jaw dropping how many hit records they have. Quote Link to comment
RedSavage Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Went and saw Us yesterday. Probably an unpopular opinion but I didn’t think it was that good. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Just watched "Arrival" movie via Amazon Prime Video. Hollywood is tricking us again! Believe it or not, this movie nominate best picture . My review: 2 hours of my life gone. Snooze fest .... most boring movie ever. Pure rubbish. Horrible, dreadful, awful, lousy actors, monotonous, downright ridiculous, utter garbage, slow, boring as hell .... did I miss any ? And flashbacks was WAY too many. Quote Link to comment

Agreed, good movie, not excellent though IMO. I didn't realize India root (Mercury). However Freddie's real life was somewhat timid outside stage. This movie was just the opposite Mercury's personality Quote Link to comment

So if you've had it for 3 weeks, might as well keep it cuz you already own it. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't think you're that alone, to be honest. I just saw it last night and, while I thought it was good, it had too much parable for my taste. Something was missing from it and I left the movie asking some good thought provoking questions and some bad plot/narrative questions. Plus, it's natural to compare it to Get Out, and that movie was very good. Quote Link to comment

Hooked on Huskers Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I loved real story movies. I always checked numerous REAL events via internet encyclopedias and/or articles ...... accurate or not? BTW, not documentary films but movies. Myself, the most accurate was "Vendetta" .... lynching of eleven Italians-Americans in New Orleans, March 14 1892. It was the largest single mass lynching in U.S. history. My first thoughts, the most "stretch the truth" movie, advertised real story ...........1973 Walking Tall. Or else A Beautiful Mind Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Anyone else find it crazy that Walken is almost 80 years old? I am not sure if he is over appreciated or underappreciated as an actor. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 Watched The Mule last night. I was very disappointed. I've grown accustomed to expecting a lot from these types of Clint Eastwood movies but this one just didn't do it for me. Might be a case of having too high expectations but it just didn't seem on par with his last 10-20 years. Quote Link to comment

It is crazy to think that he has been with (Warner?) for like 60 years now and they gave him a lifetime contract. What an amazing career. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 It's pretty rare that we see a movie in a theatre on it's opening weekend but we went to Rocketman last night. I've got mixed feelings. On one hand, it was interesting, pretty well done and I learned a bit about Elton John that didn't know. But on the other hand, it felt pretty superficial and was nowhere near the same level as Bohemian Rhapsody. That may be an unfair comparison but it is somewhat unavoidable due to subject matter and timing. Anyway, I guess I'd recommend waiting for a less expensive than theatre trip to see it. Not sure the big screen did much for the experience that you couldn't get at home. Quote Link to comment
