What movie did you last see?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Sweet!

Just watch those depth charge racks or you won't be able to count to six.

[M.Linoge]

A deeply depressive environmental documentary.

IT part 2. Took a couple nights, it's unnecessarily long. After awhile it became less "scary" movie and more "action adventure" movie, or worse, "Summer blockbuster action adventure!" movie. The last thirty minutes or so was like watching one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies- fun to watch the special effects, but not worth investing much attention in because at a frantic pace Important Things Keep Happening!!! But cool special effects and some creepy shit here and there.

Just watched John Wick 3. Now watching John Wick 4, in my head. The lead to the Dark Side is just a big flag being waved.

National Treasure 2

I think I'm about an hour into this one. I'm watching it in 30 minute gulps. Watching a movie from beginning to end in one sitting tends to be the exception for me.




The Goose and Maverick Funtime Hour

Nicolas Cage .......  barf, barf, barf.

"I have an idea about that."

Bad movie. Sean Bean doesn't die.

Sooooooo, is it very good?

Atomic Blonde.

Starting from Friday just gone, watching one a day until yesterday [Sunday] myself and Mrs. Oaktree watched the Lord of The Rings : Extended Editions.

I've really grown to love LOTR over the years - when it was released in the cinema, I went to watch them all yet wasn't hugely bothered. Back then as well I wasn't really big into reading so had never read any of the Tolkien books either.

My wife is a huge fan of these, so I've had chance to re-watch them a few times, but this has bee the first time since I was in the cinema to really take the time to sit down and properly watch them, and with them being the extended versions, to try and see everything that was filmed/the entire story where possible.

All in all - they are fantastic. Really well made, a healthy mix of CGI and models/practical effects, spot-on acting and of course the story is great. It's taken me a while but I've really come to appreciated the LOTR movies for great stories and for genuinely well made films

I do have the books, and have since read The Hobbit as well, so once I'm able to do so I'll get to reading the classics themselves

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Yeah. LOTR and Harry Potter, the two epic movie series of the day.

If we take into account the actors and their acting, the costumes, the story, the effects, this just might be the best movie ever made. For me, definitely in the top 5 or 10 movies. If we, as a species, had to choose one movie to rule them all, I wouldn't have anything against LOTR taking that position. Absolute masterpiece.

I probably watch the extended versions of the trilogy three times annually. 

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Now that's a shocker.

[Filox]

I don't watch them that often, but I would challenge you to see who knows more dialogue, once the movie starts.    

The world has changed...
I feel it in the water...
I feel it in the earth...
I smell it in the air...

This shit gets me every time. Plus, don't know about you, but I have a great stereo system with big speakers. This is the only movie that goes to 11 and I don't care about my neighbors. My ears bleed a little when the Witch King comes on his Nazgul, you know, the scene at Minas Morgul. Fuckin A!

Star Wars : Rise of Skywalker

Plot:
Following on from episodes 7 and 8, it all comes to a conclusion! [Maybe, until Disney want more money.]

Thoughts:
I enjoyed it - The movie was still lacking in certain areas, although that for me at least comes down to having to essentially retcon what happened in the last movie, giving us less time to move forward/trying to introduce a new "big bad" after 2 movies of building up another/without any hint that this one was coming.

Even then, to me it "felt" like a star wars movie. Which is honestly all I want out of these films. Love the original trilogy [Obviously], have fond memories of the prequels despite them being a tad pants [episode 3 though, yes], loved Rogue One, thought Solo was "OK" [at least better than I thought it would be] and now enjoyed the most of this new trilogy.

Overall it attempts to wrap everything up, and does an "alright" job of it considering the place it essentially starts from.

It's on Disney+ now for those who havent seen it, so get on board and check it out

Too little to work with on the alien side. It would have been nice to know what those glands on their throats was for. 
Given the growth-rate/lifespan of the creatures, someone should have noticed that couples disappear on a regular basis, all having gone to the same realtor. 
It would have been more efficient to use the couples several times. There would be some pushback but most people would probably rather be alien babysitters than be wrapped in plastic. 
It was unclear whether having that office served any other purpose than luring couples away. It should, seeing as the "father" died there and we don't see them anywhere else doing anything else.

It was obvious from the start they weren't getting out. I would have placed the scene with the girl finding the bird at the end. Then there might have been some suspense as to why the creatures want their offspring raised by humans.

Not bad. it was just too narrow. Like Bright Burn with less horror and less information.

That's why I do internet searches for the meanings behind movies, to have them explained to me when I don't understand them. hehe
