Rate The Last Movie You Saw.

WELL said on the grief thing. I felt that was the biggest part of Pet S when I read it back in the day. It was so missing here from the movie. Horror movies are all the same. I loved US and before that? IT was the last one I liked... I detest 80% of them.

I know. I love horror movies, but I rarely go to see them in theaters these days. I even skip most of them once they hit dvd. They're just all the same. However there's a few gems in the mix. I really enjoyed US as well. Have you seen Hereditary yet? If not I'd highly recommend that. It's a slow burn, but that one actually flat out terrified me. It was so tense. And that's really hard to come by in horror films these days.

Free Solo 5/5 - Excellent movie. Definitely deserving of its Oscar win. It follows a climber who attempts to climb up El Capitan without ropes! Even though I knew the outcome this film was so intense and nerve wracking. I was so nervous to even watch parts of it.

Exactly how I felt, too. I knew the ending (to a degree), but it was still so tense. I can't get over how he did that with no ropes. Some of those "handholds" he was using were like the size of pebbles!

Pet Semetary - Well I wasn't expecting to like this one so I guess I'm not really disappointed. I didn't really care for it at all. They changed a lot and I feel like the main theme of the book, dealing with grief and the loss of loved ones really seemed to be missing from this one. It felt like just another forgettable generic horror film that's been getting put out these days. Also like RF mentioned I'm so confused as to why they spoiled a key thing in the trailer because it was filmed in such a way as it was meant to shock you, but there was no shock because you already knew it happened. Leads me to further believe that they should only release teaser trailers because they typically give away way too much.

Oh man. Bummer. You pretty much included all my fears about what this movie would be. I'm going to lower my expectations ever further now.

Yes, my expectations were fairly low. But then I started hearing good things so I thought it might be better than I was anticipating, but sadly I wasn't a fan. Maybe you'll enjoy it more than me though.

As for Alex, I still can't even understand how that's even possible to do. He's like a real life spider man

Last movie - Pet Sematary - I've had a week to reflect on this now...I give it a C+. The "big change" really didn't detract from the movie or story ( to ME. Maybe it was the whiskey sours though). In the end it was nothing to write home about

Shazam:


Viewed in XD.


Cute and mildly amusing story and performances. I must say that I'm suffering a bit of superhero fatigue. Endless battles, and the introduction of new superheroes is approaching the ridiculous.


3.5/6 Beers on the RFSRS.

[Garrell]

Marwen- It was ok but very strange, Carrolls' cup of tea in most movies he in in. Not for everyone but I have seen worse (Birdman). 2/6

[Shannon]

Light It Up. 5/5

Came out about twenty years ago (wow) but it never really approached my radar. Put it on a few nights ago before I went to bed and wow. Just wow. Fantastic movie. If you're a fan of Dangerous Minds, The Principal, and the tv show Boston Public, check this movie out. Don't read a synopsis, don't look at the cast list (pleasantly surprised with a bunch of familiar actors), just go into it blind.

You're saying you enjoyed Welcome to Marwen more than Birdman?

[Garrell]

Yes. I hated Birdman more than About Schmidt

[Shannon]

Just the way most scenes were shot in Birdman should make most people appreciate the movie.

[Garrell]

Nope, story was really bad. Two hours of my life lost on bad writing and good camera work

I loved the movie. Technical aspects were superior, and the story and acting were also great.

[fernandito]

Birdman is a technical wonder, and while I enjoyed it immensely I could see why some people wouldn't.

[Mattrick]

Yes. I hated Birdman more than About Schmidt

Wait wait wait wait.... You hated About Schmidt? :O That's possible?

[Mattrick]

I could tell from the trailer Pet Semetary would suck and the themes of the book would be lost. Then it seems like they added more crap to it. And then the trailer showed it's Achilles Heel. Sad!

Instead of seeing Pet Semetary, I'm going to see Howl's Moving Castle instead.

[Garrell]

A nude scene with Kathy Bates and Jack Nicholson, should have had a warning on the screen beforehand

Good choice. It was playing in theaters here the other week but I didn't get a chance to go

That's one of the best parts of the movie!

[Shannon]

Echoing Jerome, Rose and I saw Shazam! an hour or so ago, and while I laughed and found the numerous parts numerous, any and all "straight" parts just weren't that good. Like ... did the forgettable bad guy even have a name besides Thaddeus? Lol

Which is a sad statement about the quality of the movie. I am with Garrell on this because that movie bored the hell out of me. The only thing I actually remember of it is the nude scene because at least that was surprising.

I like Mark Strong in everything.

Funny as it actually was, and horrific at the same time. It still gives me nightmares.

As do I, but I meant his codename. Just looked it up, apparently his name was Doctor Sivana

Aquaman

I am amazed, freaking AMAZED that this film grossed over a billion dollars at the box office. This might be the worst comic book movie I've ever seen. It is almost insultingly bad. Nothing works here. Not the acting, the cheesy ham fisted dialogue, special effects. Only reason I finished it is because I paid $3.99 to rent it lol. Wow, just wow.

1/5

1/5? Come on man. Lol you should have seen in the theatre. It was fun on the big screen!

[fernandito]

I'm livid at having paid money for this turd fest. It's fucking God awful.

[mae]

Hm I thought Aquaman was a lot of fun. The chase scene alone was worth it. Or that Nicole Kidman fight sequence. Lots of cool moments, like Aquaman riding a seahorse just like on Superfriends. Not as good as Wonder Woman or Shazam, but very good still.
