The Witch: 7/10

Well made, creepy movie. Not as good as It Follows, though. Or We Are Still Here. But really well done. Nice that we have a creepy horror renaissance of sorts going on.

Heck, I like Final Frontier more than Undiscovered Country because it was a fun camp fest.

Star Trek 3 is fun, though. Christopher Lloyd as a Klingon, FTW. Not as good as 2, 4, or 6 obviously.

Star Wars The Force Awakens - 8/10

Caught it again yesterday at home. Second viewing on Blu, three times in the theater. I like it a little more each time I see it. John and Daisy have great chemistry. I'm warming up to Kylo as being a great villain but I'm really looking forward to seeing how he developes.

Any time I can pop a movie in at home that I've seen already and still be thoroughly entertained I'll give it high marks. TFA is highly rewatchable for me.

Do you have the Harmy OT? I've marathoned all four films (SW/ESB/ROTJ/TFA) twice now since TFA hit blu-ray and once with TFA first and then the OT. It's *amazing* to have these "old" characters in TFA (Han/Luke/Leia) and then go back to the OT as if *it* was the prequel trilogy but have it perfectly match because the younger versions of the characters are really them! It connects TFA to the OT in a way that the OT can never ever truly connect to the PT.

I still need to see It Follows.

 

[karamazov80]

Really unsettling film.

Sin City 2 6.5/10

Huge fan of the neo-noir genre as well as the art direction and stylization. Didn't feel like Eva Green was utilized other than her goddess body, and it seemed as if the movie was rushing twards the conclusion rather than telling a complete story.

ST 1-4 and First Contact are great. III the only weak one of the group.

First Contact just felt like one painfully drawn out TV episode to me, & while I'm sure I'll get backlash for this, the Borg just come across as a lame way to try & make ST 'hip' & edgy.

Sure do and I agree. As Luke and Leia continue to develope as characters in the new films( as well as the books. Bloodline was a great Leia story. )it will make the OT all the more enjoyable. I imagine even Chewie will become more fleshed out too. Really looking forward to what's in store for SW.

As far as the PT goes, EM's performance as Obi-Wan is definitive for me and the only thing as a whole I look back on fondly from those films. He embodies young Ben in my mind and makes a great and only memorable connection to the OT for me. TFA however seemlessly continues the main three's story.

Well it did the job. That's the film that cemented Star Trek for me as something I should properly be watching as opposed to just something I would watch if I happened to find it on.

It's a good movie. I grew up a fan of the original crew and next generation and First Contact is still one of my favorites.

 

[a-dev]

Granted my fandom did wane for the last couple of seasons of Voyager and I didn't watch very much of Enterprise at all. I felt TNG really had starship-based Trek covered and those were getting quite repetitious. Having said that maybe I'd enjoy them well enough now, I dunno.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I really dig TNG, DS9 & Voyager. Even when Enterprise originally aired, I was into it. Back in the day though, I couldn't get into DS9; the bigger story didn't resonate with me, so I lost interest in that series for a long time. Basically, I didn't appreciate it properly back then.

That said, the TNG based films lost me. I tried watching Insurrection & Nemesis again a little while back, & they just felt meh to me. Generations however, is cool (from memory).

 

[a-dev]

A lot of the humour in Insurrection and Nemesis sucked. I also kinda got sick of Data taking centre stage. Why not Worf? Even in Generations where there were other Klingons he took a back seat.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I guess Worf got some face time in DS9 though. Weren't there entire arcs based on him at a certain point?

 

[RIDDICK]

Yeah, he was a big part of post-Generations DS9.
It was funny to see him tryin' to fit in.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

One thing that always made me laugh with Worf, he was never any good with the ladies.

He was like a bull in a china shop.

The Witch: 7/10

Well made, creepy movie. Not as good as It Follows, though. Or We Are Still Here.

Dude, you're killin' me! Since It Follows isn't available to stream on Netflix I watched We Are Still Here last night instead because of your recommendation. What was that? Such an awesome and creepy (even had the hair on my neck standing up) first half and then it just all unraveled into such absurdity. I know I praise films like 10 Cloverfield Lane or The Shallows that take "a turn" right at the end but you just can't have a film be that moody and creepy and sinister and then go right off the deep end and turn into a 90's style Peter Jackson splatter gore comedy at the end. It just ruined it all. The ghosts became a joke, the townspeople became jokes, the internal logic of the ghosts' motivations made no sense, the husband's last line as he looked down the stairs made no sense. Bleh.

Didn't come close to The Witch IMO.

 

[Centurion]

We Are Still Here.... I wanted to watch this movie. Maybe not.

 

[karamazov80]

One of the things I liked most about it was that it transforms from this moody suspense horror into Dead Alive at the end. But ymmv of course.

At least you agree that that's exactly what it did. I love Dead Alive but I was frustrated by the fact that such a genuinely creepy horror film just went so off the rails like that.
