If Bladerunner 2049 was going to be directed by Ridley Scott, I wouldn't care about it. But since it has a director in his prime working on it, I'm excited about it. I haven't seen any of the trailers except the first one because I want to go in as blind as possible.

Same here

Kong: Skull Island was pretty good.

+1. I had actually forgotten that Ridley was not directing in this when talking with a friend recently. Expectations are boosted from extremely low to moderate

Hey, have any of you watched World of Tomorrow yet? It's only 16 minutes.

I watched it last year and really enjoyed it. It's a nice short film with some good humor mixed in.

Same here, tonight in theaters was the first time I (was forced to) watch a trailer for BR:2049. Thought it looked great. Gotta trust Villeneuve.

And on that topic, BR:2049 was a trailer before catching Dunkirk in IMAX 70mm.

Really fantastic. Nolan's own spin on WWII. Technical achievement. Cinematography was gorgeous. The best part of it all I think was the sound and editing. The sounds were just magnificent. Pretty low on the dialogue and virtually no gore.

Lounge is I would say fairly divisive over Nolan but he shows his range in spades here. One of the best alive right now.

9/10

Hope Nolan gets his dues for this one.

Plus, we got "I saw Dunkirk in IMAX 70mm" t-shirts on the way out of the theater. lol!

To put it in a crude way. Where Interstellar was almost ear-rape; Dunkirk is the best rough sex ever. Incredibly intense and almost overwhelming.

Mr. Rudolpho's Jubilee (2017)

I'm not sure where you might be able to see this. The director/producer are a married couple and they travel around being hippies and doing music and making movies. It's a pretty polished movie considering with a big cast and a few different locations. Mostly they show in Europe, but I saw it at a house party (pop-up cinema).

It was good. The plot is thrillerish or something, but it's a comedy. Wes Andersonish. I don't want to oversell it. There were imperfections, but for a very small independent film it was very good and the director and producer were very nice.

It'll be on itunes at least.

Dunkirk was... eh.

There is really not much to sink your teeth into.... characters, dialog, storytelling are just plain... well... plain. The only thing there is, is the technical acheivement... and it's so conventional, like the movies effects, its underwhelming.

I am extremely Luke warm on this movie and I thought it suffered greatly from many continuity errors... that is until you realize the movie is jumping around the three stories in different time signatures until the end of the movie. The movie also had severe issues with a very sterile look and feel... not lush and filled with period detail.

I am thankful for the one redeeming scene Where Someone is captured.

this is actually a thing?

Dunkirk in 70mm was amazing. Somehow both over-powering and understated at the same time. Loved the structure and music.

Watched Alien and Aliens back to back and really enjoyed them. I had never seen them before. I had seen bits and pieces of Alien over the years but never from start to finish. Not really a fan of the SciFi genre but these were pretty good.

Aliens was a very solid sequel. I have Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection on deck but I am expecting a quality dip as these are probably pure money grabs.

I also recently watched Passengers which I also thought was alright. Pretty sure it got lots of hate here? I don't really like that doofus from Parks and Rec and think Jennifer whatshername is 100% overrated but still enjoyed the movie.

Alien 3 and Resurrection are bad. 3 I'd say isn't worth watching at all. Resurrection has at least a couple of memorable scenes in it though.
07-21-2017 , 10:58 PM
I don't think they're bad...they're just not up to the first two
07-21-2017 , 11:40 PM
I always remembered Alien as >>> Aliens but maybe I need to watch Aliens again (it's been a long time)
07-21-2017 , 11:43 PM
nope you got it right the first time

Alien is better, but Aliens is a nearly perfect action movie. It is just that Alien is an even more perfect horror movie. Sometimes I would rather watch an action movie, however.

Aliens is good and very entertaining, but Alien is a great movie.
07-22-2017 , 12:40 AM
Alien is a masterpiece
