That's why Watchmen and The Dark Knight were such great movies. They didn't even come close to that format.

Well that isn't too hard. BvS still brings a smile to my face when I think of Martha.

I went to watch Wonder Woman and thought it was easily the best DCU movie yet. It was very solid, almost Marvel like. In fact it reminded me of a mixture of the first Cap and Thor movies with the setting of a World War, and the fish out of water and mythology stuff.

The first act was a little slow and kind of boring on the island. Once they were in London it got interesting helped by the fish out of water comedy. The third act and climax was very satisfying with David Thewlis putting in a terrific performance.

I went with my eleven year old niece not because she needed to see a woman led film but because she was visiting my parents and I wanted to spend some time with her. She liked it but agreed with me that Guardians was better.

I actually prefer my Wonder Woman depiction to be more like a Spartan from 300. Gal Gadot did a decent job though.

The soundtrack was good but that terrible guitar was distracting. It's sad they'll probably try to keep using it in future films cause it's really awful.

The CG was hit and miss. Sometimes it looked really bad. I have mixed feelings about the Matrix approach to the fight scenes also. The ending fight with Ares was fun.

Overall I was pleased it turned out so well. Justice League looks like a hot mess from the trailer but I'm sure I'll go see it. 7/10

I thought that the theme song is pretty epic.

To each his own I guess. It felt out of place in BvS and that carried over because most of the score was really good. Different composer for both films too.

Just saw WW and liked it too. Still not up to Marvel snuff, but much closer than the previous efforts. Both Guardians movies are my high-water mark of what a comic book movie should be.

Quite liked how they made WW like 1/3rd Captain America, 1/3rd Leonidas, and 1/3rd Indiana Jones. Those lasso moves were badass!

I thought Wonder Woman was pretty good, all I kept thinking in the begining was I wish I was stranded on that island.

Just watched this on our flight to Denver. Quite the rollercoaster story...I enjoyed it. 7.5 popcorns.

Those women would crack your spine

alien the original has fully stood the test of time for me.

I saw alien when it came out. I convinced my grandmother to take me and my brother. The poster helped. Vague but r rated. I was in 5th grade going into sixth. My friend had seen it but no spoilers from him. He just said beyond everything else. I needed to see it.

Then grandma took us me and my brother. He was in like 1st grade awesome.

The movie was like no other instantly, then that thing in the guy's face. The speed began.

When the chest burster scene occured it was cinema magic.

My grandma said Michael why did you take me to this?

My brother had his eyes covered.

I watched with my fingers gripping the chair. Until the end. And the lights came on.

That is movie magic. I don't think it will happen again. But who knows.

Went to see The Mummy in 3D. Yikes, what a shit show! Made no sense. I paid for another film and then snuck in to see the Mummy as I will not put one dollar in cult member Tom Cruise's pocket. I just hope they don't screw up Creature From the Black lagoon!

Wait what? Are they doing CFTBL again? Bad ass.

The "Dark Universe" is doing them all in this re-imagined fashion. Dracula, etc.... But after seeing this I just hope they don't screw up Creature.

For me the creature was the epitome of universal monsters. As a young child the others did not even remotely interest me. The suit is still amazing. What a creature.

That creature, just look at his moves.

Did you watch it in 3D??

creature 3d screen.jpg (resized).JPG

I have. Saw it at a theatre in Los Angeles back in the lat eighties that was running a bunch of 3D movies and shorts.

You can get it in 3D on Blu Ray.....it's worth it!

Amen to that. Give me the Porkchop Express!

You should watch the sequel. I've only seen it on MST3K but the suit still looked amazing.

Just watched Children of Men again for the millionth time. I'm not sure why I watched it the first time. I can't remember if I saw Cuaron's Harry Potter film (which is the best one) before or after. Every time I watch it though it's amazing. It's one of my favorite films. So unique and intense. Almost spiritual. 10/10

11/10. So, so good. It's the closest thing to my favorite video game, The Last Of Us. You might enjoy this:

Speaking of '50s 3D movies, anyone else ever see It Came from Outer Space?

I got this last fall on sale. Had never seen it before. Even in 2D (I don't have a 3D system) it looks impressive. Very good story for 1953. Also features a young Russel Johnson. If you get this, DO watch it again with the commentary track. Lots of interesting info about the making of the movie and Things You might have not noticed in the story.

At a deadly pace it came from outer space.

Do the old 3D movies look any good on modern setups? I always wondered and would be one the few reasons for me to get a modern 3D TV.

Children of men. Fewer movies have been made that good recently. You are in for a great movie. I envy you.

I think I'll pop it in today later and watch it too. Children of men should not be missed.

They look fantastic! Just go for Passive Glasses (no batteries) and enjoy! I've bought just about every 3D film available....love it!
Every time I have visitors I have to watch Avatar again!

Get a 2016 or 2015 4K TV with passive 3D. I splurged for the 2016 LG OLED model with passive 3D and it looks amazing.

Watched two movies yesterday: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and Bob Roberts.

First AOTKT: I have no idea how this movie ended up being dubbed 'the worst ever'. Maybe people were expecting a serious horror film. It's a very silly comedy, similar to Hot Shots or Flying High/Airplane- except that AOTKT takes itself even less seriously than those movies. Some jokes fall flat but there are plenty that don't. Some of the absurdist humour wouldn't be out of place in a Monty Python sketch. 7.5/10.

Bob Roberts: I watched this mainly because I loved the Simpsons episode 'Sideshow Bob Roberts'. This movie was just...bizarre, and I'm kind of surprised it actually got a mainstream release. It's more a propaganda film than satire, an unsubtle diatribe written, directed by and starring Tim Robbins. While there are a couple of funny moments, the political/social commentary never rises above the level of "four legs good, two legs bad". No wonder Robbins landed himself a starring role in Team America. 1/10.

I did mean old 3D movies from long ago unlike Avatar.

I'm more interested in seeing movies from the 50s or 60s in 3D.

House of Wax original starring Vincent Price as the mad professor, Charles Bronson as the mute assistant Igor, and Carolyn Jones (Morticia Addams) as the pursued victim.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045888/?ref_=nm_knf_t2

Classic 3D movie and one of the first made.

House of wax is awesome, the original.

Saw 47 meters down last night. What a turd.

But does make great fodder for the best episode of Mystery Science Theater 300.

I read that they are remaking Logans Run. I can't wait.

I have mixed emotions. I love the original and if it is like most re-bakes it will be a reason to use CGI.

I love the MST episode of Manos. But I can't imagine sitting through the actual movie without the crew.

Gosh I hope this Logan's run doesn't suck.

I mean the original is so good, why bother even remaking it. That's my opinion.

i remember being so excited as a child that the movie kept going.

So epic.

This guy.
