The Descent is good, but imho only good for a single watch, never got the urge to watch it again like some other horrors, e.g. What Lies Beneath, Fright Night, Dead Silence, The Ring (Hollywood version).

Fright night was a fun movie, I probably do need to watch that again.

The extended cut/alternative ending definitely makes it a one-time watch for me, very depressing ending, so much so that it was cut from the US version!

The original was a favorite of my daughter's and mine.

Watched Bullet Train in theaters today. Good, funny, and enjoyable movie. It’s like an action-packed “Murder On The Orient Express” for modern days.

TXSTYLE · 08-06-2022, 12:23 PM

Watched this last night in the Home Theater.
It was even better than I expected!
And I expected it to be good.

Watched Everything Everywhere All At Once the other day. Became an instant favorite. Love A24 Studios

Agreed, it was good. Loved the throwback with "if it bleeds, we can kill it"

I've seen it twice now in theaters, excellent movie, so many people laughing and then crying when I saw it both times.

Captain Blood · 08-07-2022, 11:19 AM

I haven't read the book, but know the story. I hope it's a great movie

Agreed, it was good.
I think the second best in the franchise, behind the original.

The CGI was distractingly weak, my biggest gripe.

Solid characters. Great story line. Good writing. Good acting. Beautiful locations. A lot of the "original" feel.

The Cariboo Trail.
Love this vintage film with Randolph Scott as Redfern fighting off thugs wanting to rob him of his cattle and gold.

I watched a random B-list movie called Edison.

I think it was Justin Timberlake's first movie right before Alpha Dog.

It is filled with tons of talent Morgan Freeman, LL Cool J, Dylan McDermott, Cary Elwes, Piper Perabo, and "that guy that used to be on House of Cards".

It's that good? That's promising because the trailer looked so bad.

THat's my impression, the trailer is worryingly bad. I'll still watch it though.

Flawed, for sure.
YMMV.

Two biggest gripes, the CGI and the fact that the hero is a kid.

Sedan_Clan · 08-09-2022, 02:08 PM

Prey was pretty good for a Predator flick.

Passable CGI I can accept, but a kid hero? Never!!

Then again, we're talking about some primitives (tech-wise) presumably taking down an advanced warrior race from outer space, so I guess I'll try to suspend disbelief.

Just watched the Thirteen Lives movie on PRIME. Kept me on the edge of my seat even thought I knew what happened.
