Merged: The Movies Thread

Togo -- good family movie. Balto is a bitch.

Crawl - the alligator movie. Wasnt bad but with the reviews and rotten tomatoes score, I was hoping for something a little but more. Kind of wished it embraced a more of a 'zombieland" type action movie, where the gore was a bit more over the top, action characters were true caractures.

The movie tried to stay to realistic in an unrealistic premise/setting.

I liked Crawl !

Deep Blue Sea 3 is decent too.

They are both TNT Sunday afternoon movies you will rewatch someday and take a nap through half it.

Crawl was good, this is a "me" problem but when I see high rotten tomato scores and read reviews sometimes my expectations of the movie pre-screening become unachievable. Crawl was good but I was expecting a kinda cult hit. and I love the tnt sunday afternoon movies too.

but I do feel like the director was trying to straddle 2 different genres and ended up with an uneven movie and failed at achieving either genre .. one trying to make it seem realistic "could happen" and the other being an action crowd pleaser. Like it wanted to be a fun movie theater scare joint but also wanted to not come close to the sharknadoo category.

I wish it embraced a more "zoombieland" fun action movie but also high production value, character development and coherent story arc ... the gators looked great, the shooting and lighting and camera angles were well done ... it could have been more.

I do it to myself. often. usually in the dark.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood -- have it on netflix dvd and have watched it 3 times in the past 5 nights. just really good, dicaprio's acting is amazing, brad pitt's character was one note and he didnt get the same opportunity as leo to show a full spectrum but he did a great job acting like he was on acid. that bit of scene acting he did there was awesome.

love the movie, love the details, love the feel

really hope Tarantino doesnt stop at 10 movies (his next is no. 10)

+1 for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Another classic Tarantino flick.

The ending makes the movie,IMO.My wife and I went to the movies to see it and we walked out about 3/4 thru,I kept waiting for something to happen,thought it was pretty fucking boring.Fast forward a month when I see it again at home and see the ending and boom ok now I get it.It's hard for me to grade this movie because I thought it was pretty boring till the end,while all of tarantino's other films I enjoyed as i was watching them

I agree , it all comes together at the end ,wasn't sure I would like Leo in this but he and Brad both did a great job in it. I realize Taratino's movies are over the top but the gore at the end did start to get to me.

I hear what Htown is saying, I thought it was kinda disappointing when I watched it in the movies. I was expecting some Kill Bill Pulp Fiction shit.

But, Ive watched the movie maybe 5 times in a week span and it grew on me. Its some masterful cinematography and acting and feel .. its kinda odd bc it doesnt have a real compass. There is no traditional "conflict-resolution" so the "plot" seems plotless and the "hero" ends up being Brad Pitt's character Cliff who bashes a hippies brains in savagely and enjoyably while on acid (which is what the manson followers were supposed to do).

If you watch it just going in looking to watch a good movie and not expecting Kill Bill 3, its awesome and pretty amazing.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was great, I thought DiCaprio was brilliant

The Florida Project -- with the hand held camera feel and the "day in the life" type story telling it was like a less interesting Gummo. It was good and Im glad i watched it .. but also feel kinda flat. The mother's over acting and inconsistent weird accent at times bothered me.

It was good, id recommend it if you like indie movies but I wont be watching it again.
