Film What's the Last Film You Saw? v. Tell Us What You Thought!

12 monkeys for the first time. I had always seen it in Rogers video and later on (like 7 years later) heard good things.

Finally saw it the other day and for a movie from the 90's, I feel like it's aged quite well. Brad Pitt plays a great twitchy unstable character, and Bruce Willis seems to get more into the role after the first few minutes of the film. Post apocalyptic scifi kind of deal. Overall, pretty trippy theme and an enjoyable viewing experience. I'll have to take a gander at some of the others mentioned on this list. Yall have good taste in many things, I'd wager movies are definitely something bluelighters have an eye for as well.

Yall have interesting minds.

Annihilation

I really enjoyed Ex Machina (I'd rate it a 8/10) and thus on the basis of my fondness for this director's prior film decided to give it a watch finally. It was very intriguing right up till the end, but much more gory than I expected. It honestly is a bit of a horror film in many ways. The plot is hard to explain, basically there's this exponentially expanding thing of sorts that's enveloping everything. Natalie Portman and a team of 4 other female scientists enter it in search of answers, though only one of many who have entered has ever come back. It gets much weirder after that, with a cliffhanger style ending that left a sour taste in my mouth.

All the actors/actresses did great performances, the visual effects and style were stunning and enthralling, but I didn't really care for the overarching plot once it was fully revealed to me. Some people are bound to really like this film, but it wasn't that way for me. None the less, it was an entertaining watch.

6.5/10
 
I watched ‘Triangle’ from 2009 with Melissa George and it my head in. Watched on Amazon Prime. A yacht capsized so they got on a huge boat like the titanic. Things go horribly wrong. I’m think If it’s your times, it’s your time.
 
I didn't much care for "Annihilation". IMO it was one of those movies that looked intriguing in the previews/trailers (and due to the fact that I enjoyed "Ex Machina") but didn't really live up to my expectations

Yeah it's pretty far down my list of good sci-fi flicks. Even among more recent ones... Ex Machina was significantly better. Her was pretty good. Ad Astra was decent. Interstellar was... an okay remake of 2001. Annihilation is hardly sci-fi, the gore scenes are SO GORY that it's horror, and not sci-fi horror the way Alien pulled it off... just... Horror. Actually, the movie quite unsettled me, due to the gore; the plot was rather incomplete in the end.

Never even heard of it, I'm pretty out of the loop on modern TV shows especially if they aren't on Netflix/Prime (don't have Hulu). I'll look it up. Is it really recent?

Oh yeah then I'll have to pass, I already wana cancel Netflix because $$$... OH! New Clone Wars episode today though! My sister gave me access to Disney+, so there's that. I wonder how many episodes will be in the final season, 5 so far... Anyways, I digress.
 
Braindead, kiwi's version of corona, the pangolin makes an appearance even, poor little bugger. The kills are amazing, very gratuitous.

The flu, completely realistic pandemic movie from a korean perspective, lot's of drama and puking blood, this is how I imagine china was a month ago.
 
Blow the Man Down (2020)

It’s a new Amazon movie and really good! These 2 sisters just lost their mom. One of them went out at night angry and reckless. Looking for trouble. She encountered a sociopathic cunt who of course was waiting on his chance to prey on a woman like her who was vulnerable and hurting. Well shit hits the fan. The night takes a terribly dark turn. Now the other sister has to get involved to help her out. The sisters discover dark, sinister secrets about people in that town as it goes along, even things about their mom they didn’t know.

The major thing I got from it is be very careful what you do when you’re angry, too emotional and impulsive. It only takes a split second to make the wrong decision in that state of mind. You can’t take it back and it haunts you forever.

I’d give it 8/10. Worth watching.
 
Just watched Doctor Sleep last night followed by The Shining (I wanted to see them back to back to analyze). Badass movie!

I dont have time to read the book so let me know if the film holds true to the novel for the most part because I fuckibg loved the movie.

Supposedly Kubrick’s The Shining deviates heavily from King’s novel, while Dr. Sleep follows it much more closely. Idgaf, I don’t read Steven king novels. Loved Kubrick’s film though.

Yeah The Shining (Kubricks) was heavily criticized by King. In fact King made a 3 part miniseries of The Shining in '97 after Kubrick literally tossed out the script that King gave him for the original film.
They did not like eachother at all haha. Still a good film though.

How did Doctor Sleep compare with the book?
 
Speaking of Kubrick ( you guys know how much I love to talk about his filmography), gave Dr. Strangelove an umpteenth watch the other day, coming down off a trip. I laughed so fucking hard.

"Gentlemen! You can't fight in here, this is the War Room!"

"Mein FUHRER, I can VVALK!!!"

10/10 would watch the world burn again.

I recall I had a long discussion with an English teacher of mine about Barry Lyndon in high school, he was so shocked that I was a Kubrick film buff that he passed me through the class despite frequent absence and not turning in my final project lol. I think he knew I had it in me but was too bored with school, he exclaimed, "Alright! Ridin' the lightening!" when I was the only kid not to turn in a final project. Passed with a C.
