Godzilla, please. Given your other ratings that seems really low.

SimonCat posted:Convoy A 70s trucker moving starring Kris Kristofferson, based on a novelty song about CB radios, and directed by Sam Peckinpah. WTF? And it slowly turns into some kind of Kingfisher esque right-left hybrid populist uprising movie. Peck was a hell of a dude

I Before E posted:I don't remember anyone in Drive farming in medieval Europe Also autistic is not a synonym for reserved, or weird. A love story about two average functioning autistic people could be legit cool though, but probably not until it dies down as the psychological fad diagnosis of the day.

Do you just categorically dislike picaresque? I mean it's not strictly picaresque but it's a plotless, horizontally structured film about low class schmos, so similar

Spatulater bro! posted:It seemed to me that Nashville did have definite arcs, they just weren't very punctuated. My favorite was the infidelity story with Lily Tomlin's character. I also really loved the one with the girl who had sex appeal but couldn't hold a tune to save her life. Most were definitely low key, but I found each one really compelling. That actress does a great job, sadly she barely has any other credits cause she died young of anal cancer.

Rick posted:I loved Tron Legacy but I also saw it in IMAX which seems to be a big difference maker. That's funny, you're the second person this week I've heard/read talk about the "rob zombie version of Texas chainsaw massacre". He wasn't involved, the remake was directed by Marcus Nispel

Rick posted:This was the most difficult of the "Mondo" (local theater's bad movie night) movies to get through, because a whole lot of nothing happens for a whole lot of the movie, and what does happen barely makes sense, but Satan's Cheerleaders is the rare naked pro-Satan propaganda film, and it was so bold in that stance that I kind of admired the bravado of it, so it's worth watching for that reason, maybe in a media format where you can fast forward through long scenes of running nowhere, or people staring at each other, or staring at the wind. Maybe it's a common idea. Zombie did Halloween and is a famous name, Nispel did TCM and F13 and isn't well known.

Harime Nui posted:The movie is absolutely brought down by what a thinly-written character The Operative is. I think if you take yourself back to 2005 there was something interesting about the idea of nemesis-as-cipher, but watching it now he's just a collection of cool lines. But honestly the thing that kills it for me is how literally they take the "space western" thing. The dialect Mal, Kaylee and to an extent Zoe speak absolutely couldn't be done outside a time where steampunk was still sort of a novelty. Characters speaking the way confederate generals would write letters was kinda fresh and funny. Looked back at a decade on though, it just kinda kills the setting as this weird hyperaffected theatrical thing. if the rest of the movie were that stagey and ridiculous it would be a big improvement

morestuff posted:Watched A Cure For Wellness and Apostle within a few weeks of each other and they ended up being basically identical movies. I’ve loved that basic structure before but both felt like they needed to be 45 minutes shorter and 50% more hysterical Apostle could stand to be less restrained but Cure For Wellness is already loving bonkers

Chewbot posted:Twilight is a great bad movie series, fun to rip on, silly stupid poo poo that at least attempts to connect to its demographic even if that target audience is not us. By no means the worst thing out there, just an easy target to find internet concensus. Lobster is a special kind of bad made for elitists who are quite proud of their quirky taste in movies and “getting it”, setting you apart from the filthy movie-going proletariat who would like something is ghastly as Twilight. Despite some beautiful cinematography and capable actors, Lobster is as empty as the inflatable tanks of world war two, but not half as clever. It is the equivalent of finding joy and meaning in a Jackson Pollock. It is not actually pretty good, you have been bamboozled. Fight me. The Lobster and Twilight are both good

bitterandtwisted posted:Rocky Balboa B+ Watching the others makes Creed feel more "realistic" but I just rewatched the big fight from that and it's also like 1 billion undefended power shots to the head and liver. I want to see a Rocky movie where the opponent is a Rocky style supernaturally good Lomachenko, just teleporting around the ring and gluing his glove to rocky/creed/whoever's face

Point Blank is absolutely one of the best edited action films of all time. It makes San Francisco seem more like a layer of purgatory

The Perfect Element posted:Just that classic horror sequel mistake of thinking bigger = better. There’s only one Godspeed track in 28 Days Later, East Hastings over the scene of Cillian Murphy’s character wandering around deserted London and then being chased ending in the gas station explosion. The rest of the score is by John Murphy with one track by Brian Eno iirc

check out the production history on this one, studio interference basically changed it into an entirely different movie. Craven was originally aiming to do a sci fi romance in the style of Starman
