Pulp Fiction always good .

Watched ”Demolition" Jake Gyllenhaal is spectacular playing another almost psycho character like in 'Nightcrawler'. Great script and story. jake is Mesmerizing good . brilliant. 8/10.

"Full contact" best explained as low budget movie 'drone operator on acid trip lucid dreams does mma'. Great cinematography. Great directing. Good acting. Highly watchable. French ending. 7/10.

'Beyond the Call to Duty' directed by Aleksandar Ivicic. imagine a B-grade zombie call of duty porn movie but with zero porn. that bad acting. totally wasted my time. 1/10.

Train to Busan ( Korean Movie ) but it had English Subtitles when we watched in in theaters. I'd give the Plot 8/10, not your typical Zombie movie which is played out with Shooting, Cool soldiers and high tech weapons. It's more of the realist side, what would happen to Regular Civilians if something like it happens. Its more drama-ish inclined but every minute of the movie guarantees thrill and suspense

Overall I'd recommend you watch it

[Off-topic] SciFiSurfer:
Growing up, I was all about sci-fi movies, mostly Star Wars and Star Trek, but others here and there. I liked, and am still fond of the relatively cheesy Black Hole, which starred Robert Forster, Anthony Perkins, Maximilian Schell, Joseph Bottoms, Yvette Mimieux, Ernest Borgnine, and also featured the voices of Roddy McDowell and Slim Pickens as V.I.N.CENT and B.O.B., respectively.

I also used to like spy movies and am still (kind of) a fan of the James Bond franchise. However, as much as I really liked Daniel Craig's work and his style, I thought the first two of his three movies were nothing more than Jason Borne ripoffs. That said, I also happened to like the first three Jason Borne movies.

But now, I'm all over the map. It's hard, though not impossible, for me to find a movie I like. The Incredibles, A Bug's Life, Ratatouille, Toy Story, Man of Steel, Red, the first two Spider-Man movies, The Devil Wears Prada, LotR, Harry Potter, The Mask, the first Zorro movie... I liked those. There's others out there, but they are the ones that come to mind. Oh, and Hot Tub Time Machine.

I haven't liked any of the new Star Trek movies, there were bits and pieces of Star Wars Ep. I - III that were interesting but I didn't like them either, the new Star Wars movie, the stuff I've seen from Rogue I, District 9, V for Vendetta, that one from a few years back where the priests were the law enforcers in some kind of dystopian future, or pretty much anything else I've seen from J.J. Abrams. I never really could get into Firefly, so Serenity... not so much.

StarTrekBeyond - bad CGI, too much CGI, bad script, disappointing for me 4/10. I like Star trek but its just getting silly nowadays.

Snowden - great directing, great acting by the Snowden and Greenwald actors. Great cinematograohy. Great how they "simplified" the complex technical specifics so the masses could understand. even the would-be dull bits (like Snowden taking an exam or just answering the phone from lobby) became very interesting the way Oliver Stone builds suspense and drama...I give it a 9/10.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out of the Shadows - Really bad CGI, really bad predictable script, silly and cartoonish, but probably kids would love it. I fell asleep a bit midway it was so bad. I give it a 2/10.

I binged both series of Narcos when they came out. I love the show but I always skip every scene with his family. Can't wait to see what they do with S03.

Been a bad year for movies but a few stand out. Green Room, The Neon Demon and Captain Fantastic are the ones I've really enjoyed. Looking forward to Arrival, later in the year. Dunkirk too, when that comes out.

Are you trying the 7.1.1 Dev Beta on your 5X? I'm 100% stock on mine, plus Beta program ofc. Liking it so far. Support tab is completely unnecessary. Want it gone!
[Off-topic] roofrider:
Added all those to the watchlist. Many seem to be going gaga over La La Land but I'm not really a fan of musicals so I might give it a miss. Definitely stoked for Arrival and Rogue One and I think Hacksaw Ridge will be good as well. Just came to know that Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk is shot at 120 fps so I'm interested in finding out how that looks on the big screen since I missed watching The Hobbit at 48 fps. Passengers and Nocturnal Animals seem interesting, hope they don't disappoint.

Nope, I'm not on the Beta just yet. I would've jumped ship from PN had Google implemented fingerprint scanner gestures, but sadly it looks like that will remain a Pixel exclusive.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Passengers is another i have had on my list for a while. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm not a fan of musicals either, in fact i hate them! Hadn't heard of either Hacksaw Ridge or Nocturnal Animals, but they're on my list now. I've heard the former story before but the movie looks promising. The latter looks awesome! Jake G? Sign me up man!

As far as High Framerate for movies..it's an awful gimmick. The soap opera effect is real! HFR is great for Sports but it takes all the art out of cinematography. Like watching a home movie...or a stage play. You can experience it on your PC using:

Or just turn on motion smoothing on your TV! (And then turn it off again when your done)! :D

I've been hearing a lot about it but needed a push I guess, lol. Watching the first episode now.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Can't wait to hear what you think. It's gripping from the start, but as the Season goes on the show gets more and more rewarding. It's a huge boon to have Jonathan Nolan as co writer. There's a degree of unreliable narrator as well as possibly shifting timelines that give Westworld huge depth. The more you consider what's going on the deeper you get into the ethical and moral implications, and realising the possibilities in the plot have kept me dying to see each new episode. There's definitely a Memento feel to the writing. A movie that J. Nolan co wrote I should point out. It's certainly one that will have you tuning in to post-show breakdown podcasts, or rushing to Reddit to discuss favourite theories, of which there are many! It's easily the best thing I'm watching at the moment!

Also, Anthony Hopkins. There's more charisma and screen presence in that one man than in any dozen of his contemporaries. The rest of the cast aren't shabby either. Ed Harris too deserves particular mention. Everyone should be watching this! :)

Watching Lawrence Of Arabia - 4K Remaster. The 50th Anniversary Remaster is an absolute work of art! It looks spectacular, and much better than anything i've seen in recent years. It's old classics like this that make you realise the things that are missing in modern cinema. Of course the movie is as great as it always was, but you need to set aside some time to watch it as it does run to almost four hours! I've recently finished reading The Seven Pillars Of Wisdom, written by T.E Lawrence, and if you can find time to do both your lives will be enriched by the experience.

finished watching,

Dr.Strange - brilliant. hilarious. great acting (when serious) , good cgi, some laugh out loud moments. really enjoyed. one of best marvel movies. for me its a 9/10.

Death Riders - nice fighting but boring and predoctable. Segal is good. 5/10

The Iceman - great movie. great acting. didnt realize Chris Evans (Captain America) was in the movie as icecream van driver . True story about Richard Kuklinski the assasin. 8/10

The Man With The Iron Fists 2 - bad. bad acting bad editing bad predictable sctipt almost like a low budget movie. 3/10

The Thing (remake) - not the original version. not good. nice to see the alien ship inside but not much else. original version was better. this remake is a 5/10.

The Infiltrator - Bryan Cranston in a true story of undercover dea/fbi agents. brilliant . gritting.. good acting 8/10.

Westworld is getting better with each episode, and now I need to find a way to keep myself occupied till next Sunday. I binged on Narcos last week and loved it. I think I'll miss Wagner Moura next season, he has been pivotal all along.

I'll try and catch it this weekend at an IMAX.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
There's a part of me that wishes I could binge Westworld, but only because I'm dying to see where it goes. The anticipation is killing me! It's better the traditional, weekly format though. Looking forward to each episode and using the time in between to listen to post show breakdowns of various podcasts.

Did you like how Season 2 of Narcos ended? I thought it was very well done!

"Suicide Squad" . fell asleep half way. had to restart the movie. it is as bas as they say, mainly really bad acting and really really bad script and bad dialogue. could have been a great movie but it's just a flat movie.

also seems Batmain gained 10kgs and why his suit and car was so awful? as I said could have been great but seems the directors completely lost the plot. . 2/10.
[Off-topic] Planterz:
I don't know about that. "Raising Arizona" is one my favorites (btw, nobody talks like that in AZ). "Matchstick Men" was good, "Kick-Ass" was good (though it was a supporting role), and even the "National Treasure" movies were entertaining in a don't-think-too-hard-about-it sort of way. His good to bad ratio is definitely weighted in favor of turds though. Ever seen "Wicker Man"? Holy hell. Fun to watch though, in the vein of "The Room", "Birdemic", or "Plan 9 From Outer Space".
[Off-topic] simonbigwave:
watched new "Star Wars - Rogue one" i had very high hopes..but in the end not impressed. it was good but not "epic great spectacular" like the previous one. sermed to lack laugh out loud bits, and "the Force" seemed forced or inauthentic in this movie. Some good cgi and good fight scenes, but seemed more like "Ip Man goes Back to the Future". lack of Jedi stuff and no Luke was disappointing. Darth Vader seemed to have gained a few inches in height and 20kg in weight (compared with the Original Star Wars). Definitely will not be watching this movie a second time.

also script /dialogue was monotonous and boring at times.

so for me it's a 5/10 ..Disappointing.

Make your own mind up about it. It's my favourite Star Wars film now, and I've been a fan since I saw A New Hope in the cinema as a small boy.

Most of what simonbigwave said is a negative way of seeing the things that made it great for me. For example, there are no "laugh out loud bits" (not sure I agree), but that's because it's a more serious movie that doesn't employ some of the slapstick type humour from the originals.

It's all perspective. Watch it and get your own ;)

ya I watched the original star wars movie, it was called Star Wars 1 then when it first csme to the screen in cinema. that was in 1977. I seen that movie over 100 times now. The Force Awakens I seen already over 10 times.. I agree people should make their own opinions of Rogue One. But for me, being familiar with the Ip Man movies , Rogue One was a step in wrong dorection and was just boring. The script was too predictable and there was some really monotonous lines...In The Force Wakens there was not a dull moment for me and it reminded me of the original style of the original first star wars movie.

I just wont be watching Rogue One for a second time on dvd or cinema. it Didnt really feel as "spiritual" (if you know what I mean) with the "Force" compared with The Force Awakens. For me, Donnie Yen actor was just not a convincing Jedi. He just seemed to play his same Ip Man role . just worse this time .

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

watched "Spectral" (2016] scifi thriller. interesting. highly watchable. 7/10.
[Off-topic] Archer:
I too saw it in the cinema when it was first released, and I know it was billed as "Star Wars" (without the 1), but we know differently now so I call it by the correct name - that's all.

I think you've missed the point of Rogue One somewhat. The reasons you give for disliking it are the exact points they were trying to get across. It's not meant to be a film about Jedis and Siths - Donnie Yen is not playing a Jedi in the film at all. There's a vast difference between being a Jedi and being force sensitive, and he is the latter.

They didn't linger on it, but they did specifically say he is not a Jedi.

Incidentally, I loved The Force Awakens, but it was a blatant copy as opposed to something new. The storyline was so close to A New Hope that it was almost cringe-worthy. Thankfully, only almost in my opinion.

I'm not being funny with you, but you make a lot of assumptions from the things people don't say. I don't feel the need to specify that I saw the first Star Wars film in the cinema when it was released, so you assume that I didn't. I also didn't mention anything about IP man movies so you assume I know nothing of them. I just expressed my opinion. You come across as argumentative and if you respond in the same manner then I'll just assume you are and end the conversation. Like I said - I'm not being funny, but it's just how you come across.
