Ghost in the Shell - 7/10 if you haven't watched the original movies/series and just want a cool movie to watch, 5/10 if you've seen the the source anime stuff.

As someone in the latter category, this movie just felt weird. The plot is largely different than the source material (and as a stand-alone, it's okay), but then there's ample amounts of shot-for-shot recreations of the same scenes from the first two anime movies. It's like this movie couldn't quite decide whether it's a sequel or remake. It's like taking the footage from Alien and Aliens to the editing room and trying to cut it into a new movie with a different plot.

Also, Johansson in her robot nude bodysuit is surprisingly unsexy. She waddles around like she's in soiled diapers and it's a little distracting in the wrong way.

Noticed Who Framed Roger Rabbit was new on Netflix. Put it up for childhood nostalgia. Still a great movie

new for a few months now actually*


* old! but funny!


I decided to watch the Final Fantasy VII movie again. Been over 10 years I think since I last saw that. Obviously the entire movie is one big fanservice (as disclaimed at the start) so there's not much there plotwise.
It was not as good as I remember it - especially the CG is actually pretty low res, it was kind of distracting. The animations themselves are topnotch tho.. and that last shot with Aeris gets me everytime

Oh, I didn't know. It was still listed under the newly added category.

I'd like to hear your review.

Well I went to see it today as it was the last screening in the area.
Short story is I enjoyed it end to end so watch it if you get the chance.
7.5/10

The Void

Said to be so cool Lovecraftian-Horror with outrageous practical effects and blah...
No. Not to me. I thought it was boring and I couldn't enjoy the effects. 5/10

I did enjoy "Last Shift", though. Way better on either terms, 7/10, imo.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2, how can I put this...

Just got back from Guardians 2 and I'm now convinced that Marvel's screenplays are written by autistic 10-yr olds.

>Marvel
>autistic

say it ain't so

But it had wonderful character driven plot with yet another amazing soundtrack

La La Land.

Like watching Hollywood jerk off into its own mouth.

Terrible film.

I watched Prometheus again in readiness for Alien: Covenant later in the week.

Guardians 2

Much fun if a little too long in my opinions. Also some of the visuals were very Dr Strange, which is no bad thing really. Very colourful.
Some of the comedy seemed a little force, but still some quality in there.

Hoping this is the first marvel film to be released in 4k

Passengers. What the fuck is that ending?

AAAHHH MY NIPPLES HAHAHA AAH I'M POINTING AT THE THING YOU SHOULD BE LAUGHING AT AS I AM ALSO LAUGHING AT IT AAAAAHAHAHAHA

I didn't realize movies only came in two flavours: Shakespeare and autistic screeching

I thought he was holding his straps and twas funny

One of the minor gripes I had was what I think you were getting at, that almost every serious moment that got you thinking required a joke, but, I think the point being that this is supposed to be a fun film that's not to be taken too seriously and seems a bit of a cheap shot considering it was still done rather well, just in a different flavour of storytelling.

I was personally impressed by it a lot, especially the way they managed to pad the characters out, interconnect their stories and visually speaking I think this is one of the most impressive Marvel films. I liked the humour, I liked the story tone, I liked the way each character had enough dialogue and backstory put into them to make every decision they made believable. It's on par with the 1st easily imo and was a really fun watch.

Most impressive though I think is that it felt like the director gave a shit about the movie, the source material and every detail in it.

I didn't like it nearly as much as the first.

It was like an autistic kid after eating too many skittles, both visually and narratively.

Yeah its was a bit over the top. Definitely has some funny, but seemed like they were trying too hard with the funny in your fucking face every other second. Then it would get serious and the pacing felt weird.

Most of the Groot stuff was dumb, the intro, him trying to get Yando's fin, and the detonator button. Everything Nebula was dumb too.

That's fair enough, the the serious to joke to serious was something I noticed and figured it would grate on some but I could take it for what it was which was goofy. Groot was a gimmick simply put, but a good one, didnt really spoil it for me .

Idk, to me it was one of those films that was just so good to sit down and enjoy but it was one of those films that I was eagerly awaiting having found the Marvel universe to be turning somewhat bland and finding Guardians to be quite refreshing. I really dont want it to crossover with Avengers.

That and Deadpool makes everything else look pretty shit in comparison.

Guardians of Galaxy 2 but i think i am done with these action hero movies.
