This is on par with "Tommy" as a film that deliberately spurns everything I hold dear in storytelling.

At least it makes sense in some ways. It's just incredibly poorly realised. It's a lot like The Deer Hunter, a story that looks good in synopsis but somehow misses every chance to connect with me in the style it was made.

Yes! Deer Hunter one of the most overrated films of all time, imo.

Oh, well then fuck that noise

It's one of the worst films I've endured through it's entirety.

Dolomite is My Name.

Pretty funny

The Wicker Man was one of the first "cult" films I ever saw. My dad let me have a couple of beers. I hated it but the beer was good.

The remake is a classic, if only cause of the punch scene.

Dolemite Is My Name - 6/10

Wesley Snipes should make more funny films.


Dolemite Is My Name - 3/4

A sympathetic bio of an enduring cultural reference and perfect example of "moment in time" film making. Dolemite, the original, is an embarrassingly bad film in modern review. I think even then it was more of a "so bad it's good" at the right time kind of film. To watch it now and expect anything other than that is a misunderstanding of why it mattered, why it was successful and why oh why anybody spent their time, effort and money making it.

All of those questions are answered with Eddie Murphy's new bio of the man behind the blaxploitation. In this film we see Rudy Ray Moore exploit an exploitative genre using a character he stole from an alcoholic hobo and yet we are shown why and how this is fair and also a huge boost to many people. The good balances out the bad, much like the film in question and the man behind it.

The performances of Snipes and Murphy are polar opposites but they work brilliantly, Snipes takes more than his fair share of the laughs and to be honest it is great seeing him do comedy.

I would recommend this, it is quite sweet as well as funny.

GD 11-02-2019 09:59 PM

How did I not recognize Snipes :nono:

Seanny One Ball 11-02-2019 10:00 PM

Somehow the answer is likely racism

Snipes is VERY black, but his eyes. Those should tell you that's Snipes.

Damian Rey 2.0 11-02-2019 10:41 PM

Snipes was hilarious and perfect in his role. Eddie Murphy deserved a good comedy. I'm glad he got Dolemite.

Black Widow 11-02-2019 10:42 PM

Someone say it sucked i don't like agreeing with ya'll

Terminator: Dark Fate - 7.5/10

Was very fun, and like Damian Rey said, the best since the first two, and the only one really worth watching since T3. (Though I need to give Salvation another opportunity)

My gut reaction to it is that I think that they did sacrifice making a possible better movie without Arnold to shoehorn Arnold into it.... that it could have been a better story without him...... but I might change my mind on this, and it isn't like I'm ever really disappointed to see Arnold.

I loved Arnold in this. It made sense what they did with him and how they added anotherlater to his consciousness. And he wasn't useless against a superior model. Much like against the T1000, he could overpower it with brute force.

But I admit I'm a sucker for Arnold.

Parasite - 9/10

El Vaquero de Infierno 11-03-2019 03:59 PM

Olympus Has Fallen 7.2/10
London Has Fallen 7/10

Nothing special, but as mindless action films, they do the job. They also don't have the shaky camera and up-close action sequences that usually spoil action films these days, which is a plus.

Sixx 11-05-2019 07:46 AM

John Wick 3 - 9/10

Great, mindless fun. Ideal for how I am right now. Needed no thinking and shit, just good, brutal stuff. Sweet. And Halle Berry is still hot.

SPOILER: show
The scenes with the horses were great, patting them so they kick the enemy.

Stupid things - enemies coming at him one at a time, especially those dudes with knives once he got to Morocco. But that's typical action movie stuff, so it was expected.

Oh, and fuck that Asia Kate Dillon thing. Fuck them and their non-binary, pansexual ways. You ugly as fuck, whether you're a dude or a chick.

Sixx 11-05-2019 07:48 AM

Might need to give John Wick 2 another try the next time I'm like this.

Sure. Looks hot in the movie, though.

Blue Demon 11-05-2019 11:24 AM

Terminator: Dark Fate...7/10. It was pretty fun. Definitely a bit of a return to form for Terminator, worth watching.

By the way, I love how many moves used in "pro wrestling" are in these films. Hope we get to see Wick powerbomb someone next.

Seanny One Ball 11-05-2019 05:54 PM

I found Wick 3 to be disappointing. The fight choreography was still great though.

El Vaquero de Infierno 11-08-2019 11:15 AM

The Aeronauts 7/10

A gentle yarn.

Doctor Sleep - 9/10

I didn't have any expectations for this and I surprisingly really loved it overall. Works great as a sequel to The Shining. The story, acting, really everything just hits the spot. Mike Flanagan continues to impress (he did Haunting of Hill House on Netflix). Rose The Hat is one of my favorite horror villains in a long time.

I'm about to go see it and it better be worth wasting 2 and a half hours.

Great movie.

Black Widow 11-10-2019 08:47 AM

I really enjoyed Doctor Sleep. Good acting from everyone.

Wasn't expecting much but turned out i didn't regret watching it.

I'm still thinking about this wonderful film.

I hope somebody else takes the chance to see it, it was so note-perfect.

Seanny One Ball 11-12-2019 09:44 PM

Re-watching "Hunt For The Wilderpeople" to ascertain it's true value.

17 minutes in and it is quite reassuringly the best film that I have ever seen.

Just magic.
