caulfield12 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 They were a very tough couple to watch together...well-acted, but far from enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 OK SoxTalkers, help me out. The newest Planet of the Apes movie is coming out, and I am seeing lots of positive reviews. I've never seen any of them (other than the very old school original), because I can't get my head around the idea of liking what seems just so silly. Are these actually good movies? Do I need to see earlier ones for the more recent ones to sink in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Loved both of the movies, and I am really looking forward to WotPotA An oscar needs to be created specifically for Andy Serkis. His mo-cap work is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have never actually said something like I enjoyed the reboot more than the original series, either. I mean it isn't the best thing ever, but it is definitely entertaining.

The James Franco one is great, 2nd one is good. Noticed the reviews of War are off the chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gylenhaal's overacting really knocked it out of Best Picture category, but very strong recent progress in Asian cinema. Snowpiercer, another example. "Your Name" (Kimi No Na Wa), Japanese animation, also very well-received. Set box office records all over the place. Cool soundtrack.

joejoedairy Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Baby Driver was great. The editing/directing and the use of music was so impressive. It was fast paced and the action scenes were well done. I would definitely recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 The Big Sick 3.75 out of 4 (excellent movie!) Spider-Man (3.5 out of 4) Still have to see Planet of the Apes, Baby Driver, Valerian (although Carla Delivigne does little to nothing for me, can't figure her cult status out quite yet) and Dunkirk is getting 97% at RT.com. Simply can't miss Nolan movies these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Going to see the big sick tonight Watched Get Out and Lion on my last flight. I'd only recommend Lion from those two. I was in tears Edited July 20, 2017 by RockRaines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Baby Driver 3.5/4 (so much better than the slicker and cooler Gosling version of a similar story, this one has 10X the heart, that said, the Blade Runner 2049 remake has potential) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Some movies just get you. Field of Dreams, for similar reasons, the scene with Ray's father back to his younger days playing catch near the end. Up! Gladiator, the scene where Maximus turns around in the Colosseum and takes off his mask and stares down Commodus. Beauty and the Beast Hachi: A Dog's Tale (anyone with a dog, no way to watch that without getting emotional, much moreso than Marley & Me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Dunkirk is way intense....you have to watch on IMAX with surround sound. Excellent work from Nolan as usual.
