James Bond vs James T. Kirk #12
A redemption/comedy/ecological warning movie. Copped a bit of criticism for not being serious enough because some of it was played for laughs ("where are the nuclear wessels?"), but also had some very serious messages.  Some truly cringeworthy moments, but a lot of fun otherwise.And then this:  Spaghetti Western at it's comedic best. You can't go past Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer for over-the-top slapstick western fight scenes. And I also learned both men were Italian!

 Once you get past the animated dog, this is actually a pretty good family friendly adventure movie. Having never read the book, I had no idea what to expect. I now want to.

I get why it would appeal to the kind of chimps who review movies on IMDB, but yeah it's really generic

I didn't care for [REC]. I don't like the found footage format in general, though there have been a few movies that worked for me in the way they conveyed tension. [REC], in spite of its reputation as one of the better ones, isn't one of them that works for me. Can't even remember why now, that's how much of an impression the movie made on me.

 overrated, not very interesting once you figure out what's going on 15 minutes in

 Citizen Kane is not a movie that blew me away when I saw it (though I may watch it again because of this); I watched this because I do like David Fincher as a director. This is his first feature film since Gone Girl in 2014. Doubtful that this will go down with Se7en and Fight Club (or even The Social Network) as an all time great, but it was pretty decent, though not the best movie to present a behind the scenes look at Golden Age Hollywood (that would probably have to be Trumbo).

 Okay so on one hand I don't think this is half as bad as some may make it out to be and it does make interesting reading on Wikipedia to see how post-Weinstein people suddenly realised that this movie was calling out that kind of crap, but the whole idea seems to have lost some steam at this point. It's a rehash of a rehash and it's not surprising that it was over ten years before Scream 4, a movie that felt completely unnecessary to me when I first saw it and I don't feel any desire to see it again (not that I even own it).

 For a film that so intentionally rehashes the first one to the point that the first one has been made into a film within the film, Scream 2 is pretty good and like the first one, better than I remember it.

 Argento was just the right amount of crazy when he made this one

And a re-watch, which was almost like seeing it for the first time as it has been a lot of years since I last saw this movie, despite owning it all that time:  I think I enjoyed this more because I have a stronger knowledge of classic horror movies now, which I didn't when I saw this the first time around. I get the references now. Edited by adg211288 - 03 Dec 2020 at 8:52am |

 Started promising, but this three hour film soon devolved into a complete snoozefest. Overrated as fuck. Looked at how long I had left at one point and saw that it still had over an hour on the clock. I really lost interest at that point. Saw it through due to how far in I was already, but this ended up one of those like watching paint dry experiences. No wonder RYM loves it. I've also seen Fellini's 8 1/2 and didn't mind it but wasn't blown away. I don't expect to be trying any more of his films in a hurry (if ever).

For that one, just Thriller as primary. Drama and Survival as secondary. I added Crime as a primary, but some twit will shoot it down quicker than you can say 'piracy is a crime'. If there's one thing RYM hates it's someone trying to add a new genre tag years after release. The exception being a new tag which they'll vote willy-nilly with no consideration instead. Like how Alien Invasion has shown up on movies with one lone alien in them (Alien: check; Invasion, check a dictionary) or in movies better described as first contact scenarios. Or Post-Metal on albums they previously declared weren't metal.

What sort of genre do these dumbasses suggest instead?

 RYM Satire time: Captain Phillips, a biographical movie telling the tale of modern day pirates, who attack a cargo ship and subsequently kidnap the captain. RYM Genre Police: This is not a biopic, or a crime movie!
