The Babadook: 8/10 good slow burn

Ip Man: 9/10 - I haven't seen a good martial arts movie like this in ages. Just fantastic!

Jurassic World -- 8/10. Great sequel, and a more natural sequel to Jurassic Park than either Lost World or JP3. And, it corrected a lot of the problems with JP2 and JP3.

In retrospect, I thought the biggest problem with JP3 was that there was no plan, and nobody who knew what they were doing. They got stranded on the island. All of their gunmen died fast. And then they wandered to the coast, and, surprise, the Marines picked them up. That's not a plan. It's an accident. In each of the other three movies, there's been a badass with a plan. And, one of the main problems with TLW was that the badass with the plan was supposed to be the villain. Which was stupid. Vince Vaughn's character, an alleged good guy, caused a bunch of the mess with his hippie nonsense (releasing the dinos, destroying the camp, and disarming the hunter). The 'villain' got them out of it.

JP4 turned all of it back the way it should be. There is a hero. There is a plan. The hero is the guy with the plan. They got away from the 'naturalist' stuff to get back to the 'technology run amok' theme of JP1. The action was great. The dinos were awesome. The T-Rex returned as the hero, as opposed to getting offed by the new dino (like in JP3). And, I thought the 'training' and weaponization of the raptors was done extremely well.

Maleficent -- 6/10. Not bad. Best part was Jolie's appearance and speech at the Christening. She was completely awesome in that scene -- and that scene makes me irritated at the rewrite of the rest of the tale. She would've been a completely badass villain. They should've made her the pure villain Maleficent should be. Watching the Sleeping Beauty tale from the perspective of the villain would've been very interesting ... rewriting the Sleeping Beauty tale to make the villain the hero is just annoying. I was fine with the King part -- making him the reason for her turn. But, not with making Maleficent change her mind, or be the deliverer of 'true love's kiss'. Irritating revision. Make her a sympathetic villain if you must, but don't turn her into the hero ... it ruins the character.

Minority Report 8/10. Really good movie. Aged special effects pulled me out of the movie a few times.... but it had some terrific ideas about the future.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

The Addams Family - 9/10

The Addams Family Values - 7/10

 

[Pork Chop Express]

Nightcrawler, 7/10.

Gyllenhaal did a good job and you really get a feel for noctunal L.A., movie was good but not great.

Red Challenger was cool,

The wife and kids are away, so it has been a movie marathon weekend. Some good, others not as much. Just watched Jack Reacher 7.5/10, Jurassic Park 9/10, and Escape from LA 4/10. Next up: Passenger 57. Always bet on black!

Psycho - 10/10

I just can't get into that film. I know it's a classic, but it's never floated my boat.

I just can't get into that film. I know it's a classic, but it's never floated my boat.

Psycho has such a palpable feeling of suspense the entire film. It's a true classic IMO. Maybe give it another watch. It grew on me.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I prefer Anthony Perkins in 'The Black Hole' actually.

 

[cmiller99]

I think to an extent Psycho has been spoiled by overexposure. It's truly a great film, but it's been payed homage to, parodied, and ripped off too much for its own good.

Like Patriot said, the film has a great feeling of suspense running through it. But due to the homages, parodies and ripoffs, the film's twists don't really fire like they would have back in 1960. The film isn't dated as such, but in a way it is the victim of its own popularity.

 

[Cixx]

Mad Max Fury Road.

Boring as hell/10

Some of you kids are easily impressed.


Avengers AOU 6.5/10

Yeah that's a pretty fair summation I guess. I vaguely recall the first time I saw snippets of 'the shower scene' on TV when I was very young, & it was frightening. FF 30+ years later, & while I've seen it right through a few times, it just has no impact on me, & I don't find it engaging at all.

The Addams Family - 9/10

The Addams Family Values - 7/10

That sounds about right.

 

[cmiller99]

A Clockwork Orange - 9/10

The Exorcist - 9/10

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome - 5.5/10. What a strange movie this is.

Big Hero 6 - 10/10 fantastic movie

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Jurassic World - 73/100 before the Riding With Raptors bit at the end, -4297/100 with its inclusion. It's even worse than sharks with friggin' lasers on their heads and that was played for laughs.

SW (Harmy Despecialized Edition) - 92/100.

ESB (Harmy Despecialized Edition) - 96/100.

ROTJ (Harmy Despecialized Edition) - 85/100.

Harmy's the only way to watch the OT, but oddly enough, I missed some of George's later adds. For example, the original Death Star explosions are really, really, REALLY underwhelming.

Chappie - 74/100. It's almost impossible to watch Die Antwoord bumble along on screen without wanting to pluck your own eyes out.

Pompeii - 51/100. Kiefer Sutherland's turn as a Roman senator is laughably bad. And he's the best part about the movie.

The Godfather - 98/100.

Bully - 81/100.

Splash - 80/100. The premise is ridiculous, but the love story's pretty good.
