Speaking of Amber Heard

Haha.

Maybe it's Amber Heard or her lawyer?

 

Part of the WannaCry virus hacking group?

 

It would be a shocker if that movie was actually any good in the first place. Oh, the irony of pirates stealing from pirates literally and figuratively (depending on your perspective regarding Disney and Johnny Depp going to the well one final time too often).

Hackers aren't dumb enough to steal Snyder's movies.

I enjoyed Alien Covenant. Came in with lower expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

Glad to see a new Apes movie is coming out. Loved the last 2.

Just saw the second Guardians of the Galaxy. My initial reaction is that it was at least as good as the first one. Kind of dreading their inclusion in the next Avengers movie.

LIFE was a nifty little sci-fi flick, albeit derivative and 95% predictable. At least more entertaining than I expected. Has an unusual twist/ending for those who haven't seen it, at least for typical Hollywood fare. Solid casting, too.

 

Kind of a mixture of Gravity and Aliens.

I saw it the other night, and thought it paled in comparison to the first one. This second one felt like, as I think someone here noted earlier, a mashed together series of skits, only some of which landed well. The dialogue was clunky. They did make some characters more interesting, but others became plastic. Step down for me.

The Gamora and Nebula sibling rivalry turned "partnership" sucked as well...didn't feel earned.

Alien Covenant was good and made me appreciate Prometheus more, which I didn't care for. The final prequel should be good.

Top Gun 2 confirmed. Welcome to the End Times.

I enjoyed Pirates 5. Didn't see 4, I'm going to pick it up tomorrow.

Wow, can't believe Joshua gave a Pirates movie a thumb's up...

Stranger Tides, I think is what it was called, was brutal. Was hoping the new one would make up for it but majority of reviews are poor. Roeper liked it though.

Oh, misunderstood what he wrote....now I see he hasn't watched it yet.

 

Kaya Scodelario is the female lead, she can't be any worse than the girl who played the "mage" in King Arthur.

 

 

Guess I'll check it out Friday afternoon here in China.

Its really bad.

 

The newest one did get a lot of good reactions when they screened it at Cinema Con, didn't know the reviews were that bad.

I really like the Pirates movies, my not so guilty-guilty pleasure

Not able to see as much as I used to but "Get Out" maybe the movie of the year for me. The last 30 mins are so well done.

Biggest movie flops of the year so far...still have no idea what happened with Life, really enjoyed that one.

 

Pirates was better than I expected going into it. At least it was watchable. Was expecting truly awful, like CHIPs or Baywatch bad.

 

The Circle wasn't even one of Eggers' better works of fiction, wish they would make Zeitoun into a film, though.

Do you ever watch old movies on TV? I saw Butterflies are Free with Goldie Hawn and Edward Albert last night and found it fairly compelling. Then I watched the Odd Couple with Lemmon and Matheau and again was pleasantly stunned. Finally tonight I watched Paul Newman and Woodward and Anthony Perkins in a somewhat odd movie called WUSA. Were actors better in the old days? All 3 of these movies were well acted IMO. Have you seen any of these flicks? I'd give 3 of 4 stars to the first two mentioned and 2 of 4 to the third movie.

I need Baby Driver in my life like now, it sure as s*** looks like Edgar Wright went full Edgar Wright and I am 100% down.

Co-sign. Early reviews get me more giddy.

The Mummy quite easily could be the worst movie of the year. Just terrible. And not in a fun way.

Is The Dark Tower going to be a series or are they going to cram 7 books into one movie?

Seems like the first point maybe, the second point no. This movie is going to be different, Eddy and Susannah won't even be in it
