Nothing...All right, it's over and i survived. <br /><br />Nothing much happen in Twilight 4. They get married, they go on honeymoon, she gets pregnant, gets sick, the baby pop out and everybody is happy<br /><br />Twilight 5 has a bit more happening. The writing should be better considering all that's going on, but it was expected. The final battle is the worst i've ever seen, but has a somewhat clever plot twist at the end that i didn't hate<br /><br />I'll be honest here, the movies are not as bad as we were told. Though, they're not masterpieces, far from it. But i'm sure at the time it was a game 'let's shit on it because it's popular'. The writing is not always good, the acting is wooden at best (but martin sheen is chewing the scenery like there's not tomorrow), the cgi baby is weird and the imprinting thing is the creepiest thing evee. The directing and editing got a lot better since the first movie, so that helped. <br /><br />All in all, not great, but not that bad either. A nice romance that starts weird and finish with the happiest ending ever. I'll never watch them again, but at least now i know what the movies are. <br />Kuniderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872530831159876322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-16925671403239991102018-09-16T14:25:50.108-05:002018-09-16T14:25:50.108-05:00I saw Operation Finale, which is good but feels li...I saw Operation Finale, which is good but feels like it should be better. I liked it. Oscar Isaac is great. So are Kingsley and Laurent.

The biggest problem with it is that Carrie Coon has kind of a cold presence on screen. She is a great actress, I couldn't really root for her like I did with the Solversons in the first two seasons. McGregor is great, but neither character he plays is particularly likable. That leaves kind of a void in the early parts of the show, before you can get a good read on Winstead's Swango and realize that she is great.<br /><br />I rewatched it recently. The first time I absolutely believed that Coon was telling the truth at the end. I don't have that faith anymore.

I especially remember watching The Great Escape and The Wild Bunch with him. <br /><br />Watching movies was a common activity while visiting my father on weekends as a kid. There were numerous video stores I went to with him throughout those years. When he had HBO in the late 1980s, we watched a lot of the action films of the period. That was the time when new films got a run on cable before being released on home video. It is now amazing to think about having to wait close to a year after a theatrical release to rent a film.

The energy of the film is still potent after three decades. The final dance number was a great way to end the film. It is easy to understand having a crush on Lucinda Dickey. <br /><br />Gymkata is a strange film. Gymnastics, martial arts, sword and sandal action, international intrigue and a Most Dangerous Game plot randomly thrown together. It really does not gel together well. Some of the scenes were at least interesting, like the pommel horse fight with the crazy villagers.

I wanted to like it more than I did because of the premise and Zazie Beetz, but it just really didn't come together at all.<br /><br />Like a lot of other people have been saying online, Mandy is amazing. I'll be picking the blu-ray up when it drops. Don't want to say a single other thing about it since there's probably a lot of people here who haven't seen it yet.<br /><br />Picked up The Caine Mutiny on my dad's recommendation and watched it with him. It's really good, and José Ferrer manages to steal the show despite only really being in the last 1/3 or so of the movie.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129602094443434975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-57796173228814126132018-09-15T21:38:11.993-05:002018-09-15T21:38:11.993-05:00Did you know there’s a 10 hour long crime movie st...Did you know there’s a 10 hour long crime movie starring Ewan McGregor in a dual role? It’s called Fargo Season 3 and it is amazing. Fargo, True Detective, Twin Peaks the Return, etc. are blurring the line between movies and TV and should not be missed. Highly recommended.

The flat acting by itself was enough to discourage me from continuing. <br /><br />Perhaps the most surprising thing about the Twilight films is that they go back almost a decade. Time inexorably moves on. Heck, the first Harry Potter films are closing in on twenty years.

And, whew. I laughed quite a few times, but I thought the story was insultingly bad. Olivia Munn is cast well as a scientist, but woefully miscast as an action heroine. The rest of the cast does well, in spite of the script. The editing is really poor too, important characters are sometimes dispatched so quickly (like, half second shots) that I couldn't tell what had happened. But like I said earlier, the real culprit seems to be the script. I hate to feel this way, because I love Shane Black and Fred Dekker, but my god. It sometimes has really corny stuff (like subtitled Predators) but it's all surrounded by really grisly violence. Like, it takes advantage of its R rating with graphic violence, but has a plot better suited for PG-13. Patrick tweeted out that Predators was still the 2nd best Predator movie, I'll go as far to say that Predator 2 is still the 3rd best. This one is still probably better than the AvP movies, but not by much. <br /><br />Anyway, I watched Murder Party too and that's a lot of fun, so...Brian Sagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15266020828208581370noreply@blogger.com
