NOW CLOSED ; List some movies you've watched recently. Theatre, rental, TV... and give a */10

Moon is exactly like a Twilight Zone episode, except it's missing all the chilling bits, the dialogue is crap, and it throws away every opportunity to make something out of itself.

6/10

you'll disagree, but then tell me what is, in your opinion, the dominant feeling espressed by that film; sadness? mystery? fear? tension? loneliness?

I recently watched Lemmy on Netflix. It's a 2 hour documentary about Lemmy Kilmister who is the former front man from Motorhead. The movie is interesting because Lemmy was a rather unique individual and he didn't give a damn what others thought about him. I was most surprised by where he lived, the way he lived his hobbies and hoarding.

Ah, I figured it was posthumous, but it's from 2010. I just put a hold on it at my local library.

Yeah, he was the kind of guy who did what he wanted and took no prisoners. I like some of his music a lot. Some of it, not so much. I used to wonder how he did that for so long without destroying his vocal chords.

Man 13 Hours is taking a long time to come out on DVD. I saw it in the theater but would like to see it again. It came out in theater around the time of The Revenant which has been out on disc for a couple weeks.

The Huntsman - Winter's War - 6/10

Tempted to give it a 7 but I can't. It really is a typical fairy tale but it has some unusual features and very well executed special effects. It's entertaining and except for the ending, not horribly predictable. You're always going to have movies like this follow a certain formula but they can still be original and I think this one is.

The word you are looking for is pity

The word you are looking for is pity

nah i think it looked entertaining. pretty much the only bad things i heard about it was that it was not the same exact plot as the first one and just comparisons to the original. not that there's anything wrong with that but i don't watch movies to compare them to originals, i watch them to be entertained. from the trailers though it looked like it should have been named something else.

You didn't think it would be? The porn industry rarely misses such low-hanging fruit.

I didn't/won't go see it, but even I want my money back. You know somehow our tax dollars were wasted on this in some manner.

lol yep. it was pretty f'ing bad. had some really cool scenery in it though and some neat scenes, but other than that it's pretty bad. i'd say like 4/10. all the criticism was well deserved.

you know what my friend said? he said, "hey, you know what you would enjoy watching? Risen!"

ok, so i am not the best person to review this title; i happen to be very picky about my Romans

and i have very short patience for christian stuff. But i will try to be objective ,, when i can.

It is the story of the resurrection of christ, pretty much identical to the film The Robe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Robe_(film) where a roman soldier witnesses the resurrection and becomes a believer.

First off, it's really, really hard to pull off casting romans properly and this film doesn't do well in this regard. The blue eyed, blonde actors look and act out of place, this might not make it unwatchable to you, but it's pretty bad to me.
The "historical accuracy" is firmly on the meh side, there aren't any obvious abominations like The Gladiator had, but it's clear that the producers had no interest in displaying how awesome the Romans were.

Production-wise, it's not as rich as Gladiator, but it makes an effort to be "gritty and realistic", which i would like, were it not for the FUCKING HORRENDOUS beige color that the entire film is coated in.

note the color palette which rivals the Revenant for "How Many Colors Can You Make The Same 2016" prize.

As for the plot / acting / direction, meh, i'm sure they tried, but the film really lacks punhc, something strong and interesting to focus on.

So, for my vote, i would give Risen a solid 5/10. For someone who bats for the other team, 7/10 would be appropriate. Even if you are into this Jesus stuff, you'll still have to deal with the bad photography and lack of ooomph.
