The Fall of the Roman Empire 1964

I haven't seen that one. How was it? Worth watching?

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

The first hour is great with James Mason and Alex Guinness. The movie suffers a bit after this .Great sets as they spent a fortune building a mini Rome from around 200 AD. Charlton Heston was suppose to play Livius but turned it down because he didn't like the script.

I finished up The Good the Bad and the Ugly at 2:30am.
It’s a tradition to watch that every New Years Eve

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

That's cool. I've seen The Good the Bad and the Ugly only once. I thought it was good, but not great and rated it a 7/10. Is The Good the Bad and the Ugly one of your all time favourites or is there a special reason you watch that one on New years eve?

reply

[–] yatzo376 (7717) 5 years ago

It’s in my top ten all time favorites.
It also reminds me of my dad who passed away in 2009.
It’s a very nostalgic movie for me , a serene way to end the year.

Mallrats!! 4 outta ten. L4 in space 7 outta 10. ive seen mallrats 20 times, love it. I saw L4 in space once and can hardly remember it. But each to there own. When did you last watch mallrats?

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I watched Mallrats February 23 2018. Personally, I thought it was stupid, unfunny and not very enjoyable.

reply

[–] davodikum (6198) 5 years ago

Fair enough , what is your opinion of say, Happy Gilmore?

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I didn't really like Happy Gilmore, rating it a 5/10. I find a lot of Sandler's comedies to be stupid and unfunny.

reply

[–] davodikum (6198) 5 years ago

I mean as much as it vexes me that you would rate L4 in space 7/10. And i would rate HG 9/10. I must digress. When did you watch L4 and the rest of the L's?

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I watched Leprechaun 4 last night. I watched Leprechaun 3 December 28, Leprechaun 2 December 26, and the first Leprechaun a few years ago. I haven't watched the later Leprechaun films yet, but I have them on dvd.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but i haven't heard anyone describe there age as a certain number then add a half since i was in primary school. I means is it exactly half? how precise can we get?

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I added the "and a half" to be silly. I like being silly. It isn't exactly a half though. My birthday is in May.

Knives Out (2019) Very good movie and lots of fun. 8/10

reply

[–] davodikum (6198) 5 years ago

thats the last movie i watched last year aswell, loved it.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I enjoyed Knives Out as well and agree with your rating of 8/10.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

southbound. i've probably watched it a few too many times at this point - it doesn't really hold any surprises for me now - but i still love getting wrapped up in its atmosphere. it's definitely one of my favourite horror films of the decade, & certainly my favourite anthology horror film.

i also caught war for the planet of the apes since it was yanked off of netflix as of today. that was the first time i'd caught it since it played in the theatres, & i liked it just as much this time as i did then. in fact, i might go as far as to say i think that apes series was one of the best large scale big budget series of films of the recent past.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I haven't seen Southbound yet, but I might watch it today or sometime later this month. I enjoyed War for the planet of the apes.

Ford vs. Ferrari
It was excellent

I haven't seen Ford vs Ferrari yet, but I eventually will. What Oscar nominations do you think it could get?

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77577) 5 years ago

Visual effects and supporting actor for Bale would be good noms

[–] davodikum (6198) 5 years ago

i think christian might just win aye. and for sure will get some visual or sound editing noms.

Toy Story 4 on the plane to Mexico 3 weeks ago.

I loved Toy Story 4. What did you think of it?

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (38427) 5 years ago

I thought it was fine, but probably the weakest of the four. Duke Kaboom was a great addition, although I felt that many of the regular characters didn’t get too much of a look in.

Spies in Disguise

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

How was it?

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 5 years ago

My son loves it. Me, not so much. It was more like a parody of James Bond than a real kids movie.

reply

[–] davodikum (6198) 5 years ago

Haven't seen it but it seems they didn't get the ratio of jokes right. Parody jokes for the adults who need some refo's . And then some dumb stuff for the kiddo's. You need the right mix so we can all just get along.

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 5 years ago

Idk about the ratio, but I think James Bond parody has been done too many times like say in Austin Powers, Get Smart, Johnny English, Spy Kids, etc. Those jokes are just not funny anymore for the adults / parents. I've seen all those movies myself.

While the kids obviously would have never experienced James Bond. My son doesn't even know what a spy is. The parody was simply irrelevant for him.

So I guess, that was their missed shot. They should've just make it a straight goodguy vs badguy story and leave out the James Bond parody angle. It's an old tired trope.

reply

[–] davodikum (6198) 5 years ago

yeah i get ya. Must be hard though to right a movie for both kids and parents to enjoy.

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 5 years ago

To be fair, my kid likes it and it's all that's matter, right? At least it was on the better side of 2019 animated movies. Better than Angry Birds 2, better than The LEGO Movie 2, Wonder Park, etc.

reply

[–] davodikum (6198) 5 years ago

I dont think it is all that matters, I mean the best kids movies are enjoyed by kids and adults alike, i mean in a perfect world. 'Cause fuck sitting through garbage with a fake smile.

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 5 years ago

Don't get me wrong, Spies in Disguise is not garbage. Yes, the James Bond parody aspect is a little bit tiring, but the rest of the movie itself is fine. Like I said, better than The LEGO Movie 2 (that was terrible), etc. Afterall, 2019 didn't have a particularly strong lineup of animated movies.
