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.

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.

I have an extremely vivid imagination. I could easily project this to anyone who smiles, whether in real life, or my dreams (if I could ever sleep again)

And I BET there's at least one of those funky creatures that shakes it's head really fast, or a body that contorts and then walks on the ceiling, somewhere in this movie.

Okay, I'm going to have to put my flame suit on for what I'm about to post.

My wife and I went to the movie show yesterday and saw Where the Crawdads Sing. It was a simple, slow-paced story with beautiful scenery, great acting by the main character. This is not a shoot 'em up action movie. It's just a straight forward story-well-told based on a best-selling novel. We loved it!

Wait, what's this about needing a flame suit? Here it comes: One of the best parts of the movie was the soundtrack written and performed by Taylor Swift. She wrote this in Appalachian Folk style and recorded it in one take using all pre-1953 instruments to keep it authentic with the movie time period. She can actually sing! Possibly Academy Award soundtrack.

Check it out of you dare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q94kA7llGw

I love a great soundtrack, and great cinematography.
Some of my favorites are:
Leon the professional
Glory
Star Wars and the Empire strikes back
Star Trek 2
Last of the Mohicans
O brother where art thou

No need for the flame suit, the song is great, she's actually recently changed musical styles and gone a bit back to her roots further away from pop and with some slower more instrumental almost folk-ish songs with her last albums Folklore and Evermore and I think she's better for it.

After seeing Where the Crawdads sing and seeing the lyrics to the soundtrack, I'm really impressed by how well she nailed it. I cannot tell my grand kids that I'm becoming a Taylor Swift fan.

This is the Edison film I mentioned a day or so ago: https://amzn.to/3PqQ3br

It is free to watch on that rebranded IMDBTV Freevee channel.

This looks like it should be good, love a good satire.

Donut Lord · 08-13-2022, 12:00 PM

Watched a movie called Bushwick with Dave Bautista and Brittany Snow. Pretty good.
