Star Wars , Bond, Moby Dick and other holiday Blockbusters

If the soundtrack is any indication to what kind of movie Suicide Squad will be then DC is probably done with at the movies for a while.

Central Intelligence was pretty funny - some surprise cameos - very enjoyable.

Finding dory was entertaining but the 3rd act climax is a bit pushing it and to be honest - the story was wrapped up so well with the first film, it doesn't seem like it was really necessary to make a sequel. But anywhoo. Ed O Neil steals the show as an octopus.

After the outlash from The Ghostbuster Remake Cast & Crew, are you still looking to go? I can't wait for it to flop and they continue to flip their shit on the audience as if we're at fault.

Yes, i love ghostbusters and I won't sit there and nit pick how it's not like the original because it has girls or a straight up remake of the original ( *cough* FORCE AWAKENS!!! *COUGH*). It's rejuvenating interest in a property I love and opening it up for a new generation.

As for the outlash, Well in their defense , they have received nothing but criticism, even before the movie got off the ground. ("Girls have cooties and girls don't belong in ghostbusters, your pissing all over our childhood, your ruining everything i love) day in and day out, so i can understand their frustration.

Besides it's a ghostbusters movie and hollywood has been doing remakes, Some awesome, some terrible for years, why this movie did everyone choose to get up in arms about?

maybe it's a piece of shit and maybe it's not. but at the end of the day, it just a movie. Hollywood is going to continue to do remakes and reboots. been doing it for years and they will continue to do it.

INDEPENDENCE DAY RESURGENCE IN 3D this weekend. and TARZAN 3D next weekend. I am actually really interested to

Conjuring 2 will give you the heebie Jeebies

Shallows - was ok. Blake Lively Looked amazing in her bikini and does an admirable job of attempting to carry the film, but it slows down midway through before picking back up for the third act and climax. Some decent scares and gore. Plays mnore like open water then Jaws. When it's good its good, just that the parts it's good at are few and far in-between.
This movie would have been super awesome had blake done what the sexy Susan Blanchard had done in open water (YOU KNOW WHAT SCENE IM TALKING ABOUT ;-)

Popstar: Stupid funny, nothing you need to run out and see and not as good as Walk Hard: the dewey cox story of which this movie is similar except the, rise, fall, and redemption of the musician is a Justin beiber parody rather then a johnny cash esque character. If you hate Lonely Island, you will not like this movie.

Independence day 2: Sucked - will smith made the right idea on passing. the film lacks heart or depth of the original and seems unsure of where to go. The epic scale of the first film seems scaled back and the film also seems to be somewhat of a remake of the original complete with nearly identical climaxes. It sucks. Jeff Goldblum is the best part.

Nope never seen Open Water so I have no idea what you're talking about. I had already knew about ID2 sucking ass but wanted to see what one of you would say first.

The wife in open water is hot.

and then randomly, there is this big full frontal nudity scene,

were talking full on birthday suit scene and it's just awesome cause it's like a bonus to seeing the movie.

Agree..... Independence Day sucked!!! It was just a remake of the first one. They shoulda just left it alone if it wasn't have a different outcome.

self sacrifice and climatic battle over area 51

The BFG - The Purge : Election Year and Tarzan - 3D open this weekend.
Probably will try and see purge and Tarzan - still want to see Nick Refns Neon Demon - since I loved Drive and Only God forgives

[cr76]

LEGEND OF TARZAN 3D - it was decent for the most part. Alexander Skarsgard looked the part(dude got jacked -he definitely did not miss his crossfit days) but has no charisma or depth. Other the. That , the action was decent and it was ranger tainting despite being slow in some parts.

Open Water is a great example of how a film can be minimalist/low budget but still very psychologically effective and scary. Shallows seems like it's trying to get in that direction, but it's a lot harder to get into it mentally when you know it's a named/famous actress. Stars ruin it (imho).

Finally saw X-Men. It was ok...must have been very confusing for people that have never read much of the books. I would have preferred they used characters from the previous movies for the horsemen rather than introducing new characters and giving them almost no background. Ugh. Phoenix was great, however.

Purge :election year - disappointing follow up to anarchy, where anarchy expanded upon ideas - this one - didn't really break new ground - there are still those fighting against the purge , traps, live executions.....nothing really new....which is disappointing

[Fishpie]

Damn P:Anarchy actually had a plot? I skipped it thinking it was going to be retarded sequel that falls flat. Might have to check it out then.
