"Aniston in her prime"

Bridgette Wilson in Billy Madison isnt exactly unattractive either

Bloodsport 5/6 , best US based MA movie besides Enter Dragon ?

 

[murdomac]

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 3/10 Defiantly one of his worst, very boring with little payoff, waste of a great cast.

Rise of Skywalker 6.5/10, Actually enjoyed it way more than expected, did it's best to right the wrongs of the previous piece of garbage, especially enjoyed the virtually non existence of Rose.

Spies in Disguise 6/10 I really like to catch the 3D versions of Animated films but sorry to say don't bother,it's not a very good rendition.

Frozen 2

Boring as batsh**/10

Maybe it was because the cinema was too cold and I was caught out with a T-shirt.
Maybe it was because I bought my daughter and her friend $7 ice creams that they forgot to eat and then went everywhere by the time they opened them.

Spoiler:

But the songs were forgettable and derivative... Kristoff had nothing to do except fret about a marriage proposal where there was otherwise no romantic tension. Fire gecko had no purpose except being merchandiseably cute... and there were few memorable set pieces and comic moments.

Then again, the ten-year olds loved it, so what do I know/10

1917 - a 10 out of 10

An instant classic, already one of my all time favorite War films.

This movie demands to be seen in a Dolby theater, the shaking/bass in the audience seats is absolutely perfect for this film. Makes many scenes very immersive.

Dr. Dolittle - so effing awful/10

Took my 4 year old to see this, no other way I would have sat through the whole thing. Can't really put into words how bad this movie is. It's highpoint involved RDJ pulling stuff out of someone/something's ass. If you think I just spoiled the movie, I didn't, I just provided a public service.

This makes me think RDJ just lucked into Iron Man, because if he chose to be in this film, he has no business picking scripts.

Bad Boys For Life 4.5/10.. lots of action,terrible dialog,stupid story,all just to set up #4.Watched it in IMAX and that didn't help. watcha'gonna do?

 

[a-dev]

^Sounds much like the second one from what I recall of it. I don't know that a third was necessary let alone a planned fourth.


Terminator Dark Fate - 6.5/10

It puts too many barriers in the way to truly embrace it as the 'true sequel' to Terminator 2 that it purports to be. However, if by now you're accustomed to Terminator movies that you immediately write off as 'non-canon' then its pretty much what you expect. It's somewhat enjoyable and may indeed be the 'best since T2' that all the earliest reviews said. It makes for decent fan fiction until some of the later action set-pieces go stupidly over the top.

As to those barriers

Spoiler:

Killing John Connor in the opening scene. Moreover, doing so merely so you can tell the exact same basic story and repeat the exact same Terminator formula all over again. Cameron had talked about updating the franchise but seemingly that meant nothing more than changing the gender of the savior of humanity and changing key names here and there. Hardly worthwhile and probably trying to appeal to the wrong crowd for a Terminator movie.

Furthermore, having John killed by a T-800 that looks like Uncle Bob is an incredibly cruel and bleak twist after the emotional ending of Terminator 2 and Sarah Connor's optimistic final narration about looking towards the future with a sense of hope. Cameron really pulled an Alien 3 here which was a bizarre choice from him - his disgust at Alien 3 is well documented for doing this very thing with the characters he created in Aliens.

There's also the issue of Carl and ageing Terminators generally that some have had a problem with. On the ageing front, I can kinda buy that the flesh will age but exactly in the way that real people's flesh ages? And in real people it's not just the flesh but the skeleton. Arnold's whole posture and the way he moves has probably changed in his older years whereas a solid Terminator Endoskeleton would not change in these regards.

Aside from that is the Carl storyline - which really requires you to....call into question...the whole ''it can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with - it doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear'' line from the first film. And according to Carl he had no further orders from Skynet beyond killing John Connor - how likely is that? Seems like it would be prudent of Skynet to have backup orders to safeguard or otherwise ensure its own existence and certainly not to allow a T-800 to become a blank slate that can be influenced by humanity to actually turn against Skynet of its own volition.

But well, that's what happened. Admittedly I found it a somewhat interesting premise and it generated a lot of great discussion in the All things Terminator thread.

The frustrating thing is that even if you're on board with it they go and kill Carl off at the end so that point of interest and the drama with Sarah Connor was going to be confined to this one film in their trilogy plan. Perhaps it could have been drawn out and expanded on more. It also seemed foolish to kill off Carl with 2 more films planned when it meant - presuming they would want further involvement from Arnie - having to come up with yet another really old T-800 model 101 and he'd probably be a good guy aswell because ever since T2 they just can't seem to resist going that way.

So for these reasons - combined with the aforementioned OTT action set pieces that feel cartoonish and a further step beyond plausibility from what happens in T1 and T2 - I file Dark Fate alongside T3, Salvation and Genisys as non-canon.

Great assessment a-dev.

 

[rushmore223]

In many ways, Terminator : Dark Fate had much in common with The Force Awakens.

Yeah, I thought about TFA while I was watching it too. it was a decent palate-cleanser but not enduring. Disappointed we didn’t see Tim again.

The Rhythm Section 2/10..

The Lighthouse - 5/10 - Great looking film. Interesting imagery. Simple story, but very boring.

Robert Eggers (director) is now 0/2 with me. First The VVitch and now The Lighthouse.
