The Changeling: 7/10

Extremely well made, great performance by George C Scott, and very creepy. This was supposedly a major influence on Guillermo del Toro.

But the ending was weird and not too satisfying. Not sure why everything that happened earlier was necessary for the ultimate resolution.

Star Trek: Voyager - "One"

It was very good.. a nice showcase for Seven of Nine,
as she is the only crew member (besides the holographic Doctor)
who has not had to be put in stasis to travel through a nebula.
Borg - and even ex - Borg.. don't do very well alone.

Oh yeah I vaguely remember that. Long time since I watched Voyager.

One of the truly forgettable movies I've ever seen. I can't remember much about it except that it looked nice and the ending was unsatisfying.

 

[karamazov80]

I can see that. The pacing was slow and the story was unnecessarily convoluted at points. Plus, it was made in that weird transition period between the 70s and 80s so that it doesn't have a style connecting it to one era or the other. But it was really well made for what it was, which separates it from the cheaply made, by the numbers slasher horror movies that were common at the time. And it had its moments, though they started to lose their impact near the end of the film.

Captain Marvel - 4/10

Replaces IM3 as my least liked in the series. Hated how Fury was written and

Spoiler

how he lost his eye...jeez. Also, the use of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the movie was a nono according to what Coulson said in IM2.

Larson did a fine job though. I have no problem with how she handled the character.

The award for worst action scene music choice goes to this movie too with the use of No Doubt’s little diddy.

 

[Khev]

Yeah No Doubt is okay as a band but their inclusion during the final action sequence was just bizarre and even a bit embarrassing. I might be able to see it working for Harley Quinn or something but not CM. And I'm just going to assume that this Fury was a Skrull because his TWS line "the last time I trusted someone I lost an eye" just doesn't gel with this flick at all IMO.

 

[a-dev]

They pulled a Whedonesque humorous subversion there. I don't like it.

And what the ****, seemed like it was no biggie at all to him. There was a jovial dinner scene right after that if I recall. Pretty sure I'd be wanting to get that eye looked at immediately.

It just didn’t fit at all. I’ve seen action sequences with quirky songs used that really added to the scene but this was just distracting and, like you said, bizarre.

I forgot about that line in TWS. I’d like to forget about a lot in Captain Marvel too.

The choice of song was a little on the nose, but. . .I was a pretty early fan of No Doubt, buying their album right after seeing that song for the first time on 120 Minutes. It was an important part of the soundtrack of my youth, and from that POV, I liked hearing it there. But I would have been just a happy with Smashing Pumpkins or Bad Religion (won't hear that in a Disney movie for 100 years ) or something.

Well Brie definitely wouldn't ever disarm someone with a smile so maybe all they were left with was just a girl, lol. Maybe next movie she can punch bad guys to the tune of What's Up by 4 Non-blondes which if I remember correctly was a big favorite of yours...

Thanks for bringing that song up, now I've got 4 Non Blondes lousy song stuck in my head.

I'll return the favor....

Crash Test Dummies : Mmmmm Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmmmm.

Once there was this girl who...





I do agree, the song didn't fit in that kind of scene. I get the message, but it didn't work in a fight scene.

The CM directors were just hired on to direct the next Superman DCEU flick where he saves the world from Solomon Grundy but then is mad that he doesn't make any money from it.

Same name, different film. I was wondering how George C Scott managed to pop up in a 2008 Angelina Jolie-led Clint Eastwood movie.

 

[karamazov80]

LOL I'm so out of touch, I'm almost as clueless with modern movies as I am with modern music. The one I saw is no Shining or Texas Chainsaw Massacre, though.

I decided to sit down and watch Hereditary after seeing that weird looking person in Jye's signature for the past year. Not knowing anything about it, I thought it'd be some kind of "The Hills have Eyes" inbred cannibal type movie, to my shock that thing in Jye's avatar is a little girl! And she's not even wearing SFX makeup!

Hereditary- 9 out of 10: Highly suspenseful, disturbing and frightening sums it up right. It starts off as a tragic drama, then a ghost story, but it's not that in the end. It's expertly shot and edited with convincing special effects, and fantastic performances by the cast, especially Toni Collette and Alex Wolff. Be warned that it's more graphic than I thought it would be. The filmmakers know how to make a great horror movie; no boo editing, just long and suspensive shots with creepy stuff happening in the background. It ends on a dour note so not a very good feeling afterwards.

So wanting to wash that unpleasantness out of my brain, I watched Annihilation for some Sci-Fi.

Annihilation- 6 out of 10. Interesting but forgetful. Based only on what little I saw in trailers this was not the kind of movie I was expecting, it's a somewhat creepy body horror Sci-Fi that at times can be a little gory with a good idea for an alien encounter that we haven't seen much of, but left me a bit unsatisfied. The move is shot and edited well enough and the performances by Portman and Isaac were really good, but I didn't like the other actors much. Good to see Jennifer Jason Leigh again, too bad I didn't care for her performance either. There's some good special effects but I don't think they went far enough, I would've liked the stuff in the Shimmer to be more disturbing and alien.

I went out like a light shortly thereafter, good news is I didn't have nightmares after watching these.

These are both available to watch on Amazon Prime at the moment.
