the new episode of rick and morty was god damn funny

 

[Ackmed]

Big Little Lies (8.5/10) is an HBO mini series based off the book. While the book was better as usual, not by much. Some pretty big name actors/actresses in it, we really enjoyed it. 7 episodes, but only like 50 mins per actually. I would recommend it. The authors next book, In the dark wood, is going to be a movie soon as well. Which was an even better book.

Life

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5442430/

"The film follows a six-member crew of the International Space Station that uncovers what initially seems to be the first evidence of life on Mars; however, the crew finds their discovery might not be what it seems."

Haven't we heard and seen this story before, a zillion times? Portrayal of spaceship living and working is decent enough but this story zooms to the bottom and starts to dig.

1/10

It was bad, but it wasn't 1/10 bad. Come on, it was at least a 5.
1/10 is like you're comparing it to The Room.

Devil's Pass aka The Dyatlov Pass Incident 6/10.i just watched this again after watching a couple of documentaries on the subject.(the docs were far more interesting) a mystery thats for sure.

Stratton
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3567666/

A team from the U.K. Special Boat Service along with MI6 battle a coordinated attack to spray gas over London. Excellent urban shooter with interesting SEAL like scenarios for counter terrorism.

But the real story is about the shooting.

If you ever wanted to join swat , this is it.


7.5

 

[JEDI]

Judas Contract (Teen Titans animated movie 2017)
4/10

I have the comic books for this story arc.
the betrayal at the end was stupid.
made for a nicely wrapped up ending.

i watched:

The Ides Of March - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1124035/reference

political drama directed by George Clooney, and starring everyone. Clooney is the - mostly absent - villain, Ryan Gosling is the "hero", Philip Seymour Hoffman is the main antagonist, Paul Giamatti is the devil, Marisa Tomei is "we had some spare casting budget".

Gosling is a junior campaign manager in the democratic primaries, trying to get Clooney's character to win. Giamatti is a dirty cheating SoB who gets Gosling in trouble. Then Gosling wises up, and it's his turn to become the bad guy.

Basically, a 1:1 copy of the plot of a film [whose name i dont remember] i watched years ago. Superbly acted, but lacking any memorable scenes, the clone plot means i was bored most of the time. The resolution and character arc are also implausible and weak.

A decent way to spend an evening, nothing more. 7/10

and also

The Founder - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4276820/reference

"Birdman" Michael Keaton is The Founder, AKA Roy Kroc, sleazy salesman and father of the McDonalds multinational. Nick "Ron Swanson" Offerman is Dick McDonald, original owner of the burger business.John Caroll Lynch (never heard of him before) is Dick's brother Mac McDonald.

While working relentlessly in his door-to-door sales job, Roy meets the McDonald brothers, with Mac being the friendlier one, and Dick the wise, cautious one. They get in business together, and it goes well, but not well enough. Roy becomes greedy and he clashes with the McDonalds.

This was a much more enjoyable film. The pacing isn't the best and the film could use some romanticization, but the story was very interesting, painting an unusual picture of Roy Kroc, where he's alternatively both the hero and the villain. Solid work from Michael Keaton, again.

7.5/10 - a well spent evening.

 

[Chaotic42]

Hive Alive - Netflix - 10/10

It's a great two part documentary about bees. It covers a lot of what I'm assuming most of us know, but it's really well done and I could watch these kinds of documentaries all day. I really enjoyed it. If I had land, I'd definitely look into bee keeping.

 

[Mayne]

watched the first 2 episodes of this new western show from AMC starring Pierce Brosnan. I'm really liking it.

The film crew built a replica of the first McDonald's restaurant in a parking lot next to my apartment complex. Disrupted things for months. The convenience store they closed down and dressed-up never re-opened. I hope the owner was well compensated.

I do want to watch that because I know I'll see a lot of my town in it.

 

[Charmonium]

watched the first 2 episodes of this new western show from AMC starring Pierce Brosnan. I'm really liking it.

It looks good but I'm not really hooked yet. I like that it's a historical drama and I don't know much about that period so I'll probably keep watching.

Aftermath

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4581576/

Stars:
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maggie Grace, Scoot McNairy

Inspired by actual events and tells a story of guilt and revenge after an air traffic controller's error causes the death of a construction foreman's (Arnold Schwarzenegger) wife and daughter as well as two hundred other passengers.

Here is a report on the original plane crash over eastern europe.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...victims-guilty-of-revenge-killing-322535.html

Arnold gives a strong performance but essentially this is a very grim story which falters IMHO by having a murderer as the central character. Sure the guy lost his immediate family to a blunder in the control tower. But to track down the controller and kill him years later in front of his family ? Like the deaths of his family was a deliberate murder ? No sympathy here my friends.

Be like a biography of Hitler giving his childhood as a basis for his later war crimes.

Uh, no thanks.

Hang'em high.

6.5

 

[ImpulsE69]

Dimension 404 - Hulu TV series - 9/10 - only 3 episodes out so far. This show is in the vein of Twilight Zone and Black Mirror (more like black mirror as it is modern day - future issues). It REALLY steals some things from Twilight Zone (you'll know what I mean if you watch it), but doesn't take itself as seriously as Black Mirror I think. The stories are not as dark and have a sense of humor about them. Lots of faces you'll recognize in them as well. I'm not going to rate per episode as with these they can swing widely and differently due to personal taste, but I enjoyed them all. Can't wait for more.

I'd rate it that or higher. It is really an interesting film. I wasn't really sure how accurate it was though, and well..too lazy to go look

 

[SAWYER]

Walking Dead finale 5/10 This show has never been top shelf tv but this was just bad

Brimstone 8/10

[Zanovar]

Van Diemen's Land 7.5/10.

 

[shortylickens]

Jessica Jones is pretty bad.
Its a show full of stupid selfish people constantly doing stupid selfish things.

Kinda makes me hope theres no Defender series and Marvel just focuses on Daredevil from now on.

Arrival 6/10 Don't get what the fuzz is all about.
