Recently Watched Films

Plan for the weekend includes:

Clockwise (1986) - John Cleese film.

Mars Attacks! (1996) - another sci-fi I've never seen.

And on Netflix:

Housebound (2014) - comedy horror that's supposed to be good. I've had it on my list for ages but Netflix suddenly started displaying that it disappears on March 1st. I hate that Netflix doesn't display that until one week to go. Amazon lets you know a whole month in advance.

Z for Zachariah (2015) - another one that's suddenly expiring with little notice.

Inside Metal: The L.A. Metal Scene Explodes (2016)

Part 1 of a 2-part documentary. Past and present members of Dokken, Stryper, Quiet Riot, Armored Saint, Metallica, and many more tell some stories and reminisce about the good ol' days of the early '80s Los Angeles metal boom. I didn't really learn anything new but this was a fun trip down memory lane.

Just saw the new Star Wars tonight, and I have very mixed thoughts. I don't necessarily think it's a rehash like VII was, so much as it felt like the director either had no clue what he wanted to do with it, or he had a vision but the studio interfered with it. Either way, it felt like an absolute muddled mess, one of the most tonally chaotic movies I've ever seen. It had parts I genuinely enjoyed, parts I enjoyed laughing at because they were so stupid, and parts I loathed. It was just all over the bloody place. I actually find it hard to believe some people are saying it's the best since Empire Strikes back, just like I also have a hard time seeing how people could call it the worst film of all time, because to me it's way too damn inconsistent to fall into either extreme. I definitely need to rewatch it at some point, to make a proper judgement.

I agree with most of the things you said. I thought it was plain bad. Such poor story telling, totally disrespectful (to use a polite word) to the original trilogy. Some annoying new characters. The main character Rey is so perfect, it's a head scratcher, why and how, there's no explanation. They got rid of the main villain (Snoke) so easily. And obviously there's no charcter development, no back stories/arcs, etc, etc, etc... Confused

If you watch it a second time, you may find it even more disappointing. LOL

An unnecessary sequel if you ask me, some movies should not be touched, messed with. Yes, visually it's great but that's all. I read that the director was initially unwilling to participate but joined because he thought the script was great. So did Harrison Ford. Really? I thought the story line was weak.

I must be getting old and grumpy or something, I dunno...

Nope I agree...hmm...maybe I´m getting old and grumpy too

I thought I was getting old and grumpy, but I loved it. LOL

Have you seen the original (well, I bet you have). I for one cannot help but compare the two, hence my disappointment.

The Emoji Movie - 2017's most hated animated dumpster fire. This is not a movie, it's a feature length advertisement for phone apps.

The Founder - Michael Keaton is great as Ray Kroc, a salesman whose chance meeting with the McDonald brothers eventually turned into the biggest fast food chain in the world.

Ms. 45 - New York rape victim turns vigilante. Grimy and sleazy in all the right ways.

Resident Evil - Somewhat watchable but mostly pointless shoot-em-up video-game adaptation. Why have they made a half dozen of these?

Top Dog - A tough cop is saddled with a new canine partner. Chuck Norris' film career bottomed out with this "K-9"/"Turner & Hooch" ripoff with more roundhouse kicks.

Cherry 2000 - cult dystopian sci-fi/action/cyberpunk Western comedy set in 2017, with Melanie Griffith as a "tracker" hired to guide a city slicker thru the wastelands to find a replacement for his robot wife. Weird as hell but somehow it works.
