Movies - General Discussion

Agree on Jack Reacher movie. Entertaining. Wifey said but it is probably time for Tom Cruise to give up taking his shirt off on camera.

Saw the Accountant today and it was damned good. It wasnt one of those retarded shoot'em up movies, it had a really great story to it along with a backstory. Fantastic flick

Nice. That looked like something that would be a good movie.
Well, I might be wrong about "Doctor Strange" after just reading it's first review.... 93% on Rotten Tomatoes right now. That doesn't necessarily mean it will be a good movie...

I need to see some horror movies over the next couple of days.
'28 Days Later", "Halloween", "Halloween III: Season of the Witch", any of the Evil Dead movies... George A Romero zombie movies... and "The Thing."

I think the point with Dr. Strange and some of the critic reviews is that they don't like the Marvel formula. In the end Dr. Stranges tale is going to be very close to that of Iron Man, Hulk, and even Ant Man. Where they were normalish people that got into a situation where they quickly become powerful super heros. Usually because a randomish villain shows up near the end of the arc of them learning their powers that then require them to go through a trial of fire. I think if you like IM1 or AM you will probably like Dr. S.

User reviews for Doctor Starnge have been really well recieved. I'm really looking forward to this.

Hacksaw Ridge is a great movie but as one review put it. . . this movie "out Private Ryan, Private Ryans", for battlefield gore. There is a lot of close proximity combat, and very graphic war violence, but you certainly do come away with a strong sense of the bravery of this young skinny kid. What he accomplished is almost unbelievable.

[jaadam4]

lol.. These reviewers know how many people died in these wars right? I'm sure the movies don't do it justice even tho we think it's over the top.

[Forsh]

Yeah Dr Strange was solid and Hacksaw Ridge quite good

We saw Arrival on Friday right and when it was over we looked at each other and said "what was that?".

[jaadam4]

So it wasn't good?

[edindetroit]

No, it was really good, just a bit bizarre.

[jaadam4]

I was wondering because the movie go'er review have been pretty good. I'll have to check it out

[Cody_Russell]

"Arrival" was directed by the guy that directed "Sicario" and "Prisoners." No way it's not good.

If anyone has Netflix, you should check out "Sing Street" on Netflix. I might have said this before a couple months ago. One of my favorite movies of 2016. With all the busts this year... remakes and sequels... this movie is very refreshing.

I never said it wasn't good dopey.

I was agreeing with you even though I haven't seen it lol. My fault for confusion in the wording.
