Spoilers What Movie Are You Watching?

[Huntn]

This thread needs a new title (Like what-movie-are-you-watching in 2021) or 2022.
I really have no interest in what was playing in 2010. I just watch "The Power of the dog" in NetFlix for what it's worth. Great flick IMO.

It’s what movie are you watching, regardless of when the movie was made such as:

​

Aliens (1986)- In HD, seeing the blemishes on screaming faces is special. 😉 I never liked the Special Edition, because the story is better for the audience not knowing in advance what happened to the colonists on LV-426, just let the tension build, until… I can still remember the first time I watched this at the theater, they run a bypass, the facility door slides open and omg. Soon after that, the motion sensor always produced an adverse psychological effect whenever I hear it. . 🙂

Number one most stupid decision, that made me say oh hell, flame units only, time to buckle up. : D

Q: What does Sulaco mean? ...

Q: Are those power-loaders real?
A: Based on the Collectors Version of Aliens on Laserdisc, which comes
with a disk that shows some of the secrets of the making of the movie,
the loader is part real, part fake. The actual loader is real, but
has an external power supply. Since the loader is extremely heavy, it
is supported by cables which are masked out for the final print.
A power loader was on display at the Boston Museum of Science as
part of a special effects exhibit. This power loader was worked by a
person inside, behind and below the actor, that is with their legs down
in the power-loader's legs and their torso in the power-loader's back.
Different constructs of the power loader were used depending on the
action it had to perform in front of the camera.

I love Jumanji's movie. Reviewing Almost every year.

Enchanted (2007)- This is really a delightful parody, homage to classic Disney fairytale cinema, especially if you grew up with it in the 50-60s time period. 😀

Just finished Deadpool 2. My first time watching it. Yea, I'm not exactly the watch the latest movie guy.

Anyways, this movie was hilarious. Some of the best writing and comedy I've seen in a long time. Long live X-Force... ooh never mind, farewell X-Force.

Peter was the best character, behind Deadpool that is. He needs his own MCU series on Disney+.

Duke, Douglass, Howard Keel​

The War Wagon (1967)- (again) A favorite 60s Western vibe, John Wayne, Kirk Douglass heist movie. A rancher with gold on his land is framed, shot, and sent to prison, and now he’s out and gonna get his stuff back. Exteriors filmed in Mexico.

Watched Murder on the Orient Express (2017).

I read some of Agatha Christie's books a while back, so I quite enjoyed this movie. I like the classic detective mystery plot without any need to bombastic actions. The casts are just great. Definitely not for the casual viewers nowadays though, as most people will probably be bored by it. Looking forward for Death on the Nile.

The Tender Bar.

And I loved it. Ben Affleck 👌

1917. This simple, powerful movie begins and ends with a man sitting against a tree. Prepare to be blown away.

I Want to Live (1956)

Susan Hayward is superb in the role of Bab's. No CGI, no gimmicks, no forced diversity/representation. A solid storyline & powerful performance by all. Simply a hard look into a world you would never want to enter....

I Want to Live is a compelling watch. Very much serving to illustrate just how far Hollywood has fallen. Over relying on CGI tricks & bells to entertain opposed to solid storyline's, executed by competent actors & directors, most of all getting it right...

TBH directors & creators would all do themselves a big favour by completely ignoring the Twitter Rage Mob. Pandering to 1% of the population is only ever going to result in empty seats...

How The West Was Won (1962)- This is an impressive piece of 20 Century movie making and story telling. I’m probably biased, but though it’s not an all encompassing story, a 50 year time frame, it misses what would be considered today, important social historical aspects. However it does show corporate America rolling over the Indians. But imo it is outstanding for what it shows in a 2:44 hr movie. It focuses on 1 family, the Prescott Family who had landed in America prior to 1839 but are now headed west. Two sisters head in different directions, one settling in Ohio (I think) the other continues west ending up in San Francisco.

​

I first saw this in the theater, filmed in Cinerama, the iMax of its day, 3 synchronized 35mm cameras, curved screen, and I’m not sure of the proper term, but because it was wide screen they used wide angle perspective that makes it look panoramic. It’s a perspective that I can’t say I’ve seen in another film. It’s bold and beautiful with an all star cast. As a 9 year old it blew me away. 🙂

We recently tried to watch this via streaming. I pulled up the preview and the image although it was listed as HD, was mediocre resolution with prominent lines that separated the cameras. I found a Blu Ray version, remastered I believe, for $14, a winner, great image! 😀

Just finished 'The Power of the Dog'. Great acting...'Interesting' movie. Did not like the ending but movie was worth watching . No explosions or gun battles; just fine acting and a good pace. 'Gravity' is currently on HBOMax...if you haven't watched it do so...excellent movie. Also on HBOMax is the series 'Station Eleven' which is well produced and very interesting.

In memory - Sidney Poitier 1927 - 2022

The Bedford Incident

Powerful performance's by actors at the top of their game. The Bedford Incident is not to be under estimated nor missed...

A class act, enough said...

How The West Was Won
reminded me of the classic western;

Once Upon a Time in the West

Solid acting and an awesome soundtrack by Ennio Morricone
