RCT3Bross Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 yesterday night I saw Rogue One A Star Wars Story and I believe I got a new favorite Star Wars movie. I had no idea what to expect but this movie changed the way I look at the original movie. I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed the easter eggs to the original and the Rebels tv-serie. The characters really drove the story and I think K2SO is my new favorite droid, he really is the best of C3PO combined with the "free spirit" of R2-D2. My advise is to go and enjoy the movie. Just for the sake of rating this: 8 to a 9 out of 10
ytterbiumanalyst Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 ^ We went to see Rogue One yesterday, and I really agree. This is the absolute best of any Star Wars movie after the original trilogy without a doubt--and maybe even better than the originals. I'll need to digest, but I think my ranking would go 5/Rogue One/6/4/7/3/all the rest are crap. The storytelling is amazing, and the ending is emotionally moving. I won't say any more, because I don't want to spoil anything. But if you've been on the fence about it, go see it. Whereas Force Awakens was very much dependent on nostalgia, Rogue One nods to the original but is very much its own story. Go see this; it's one of the best movies of the year. Seriously.
DILinator Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 I quite enjoyed Rogue One as well! It's not my favorite Star Wars movie, but I like it about as much as I do The Force Awakens, which would place it just behind Empire Strikes Back and the original. That last few minutes of the movie however... Possibly my favorite part of ANY Star Wars movie! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome!!!
sfriday1998 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 New movie update: Rogue One - Sing - Moana - Fantastic Beasts -
viking86 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I watched Spectral the other night. The movie was released directly on Netflix a few weeks ago. While not a brilliant movie by any means, it was good enough to keep me entertained for an evening.
jray21 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I saw Moana again and liked it more than the first time. They did a really great job with it. Also, I've been listening to the music more and I like it more and more. Not nearly at the Frozen level, but it's still a great soundtrack. Has anyone seen Passenger? I'm thinking of seeing that one, but not sure it's worth the money.
Nrthwnd Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 We just saw SING. Fun movie, with a lot of song bites (?) throughout it. Loved the original song for Ash. And enjoyed a lot more, beyond the repeating trailers. I definitely want to get the DVD of it, when it's released. 8 out of 10 Popcorn Boxes. (And hooray for light up squids!)
viking86 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Went to see Rogue One yesterday. I thought it was a pretty good movie, I really enjoyed it. The final battle was awesome!
Muntic0re Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Yesterday I saw The Autopsy of Jane Doe it's a scary movie, I like it
luckypony Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I am going to watch The Holiday. It is one of my mom's favorite movies. Two women troubled with guy-problems swap homes in each other's countries, where they each meet a local guy and fall in love. Hope it will be interesting.
MisterP Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 I love the Deadpool poster. It's hilarious. And I loved that movie. It was a lot of fun. But some people are seriously talking like it deserves a Best Picture nomination. But if it get a BP nom, Hollywood is officially dead. Close up shop. Just watch indie or French or German or Korean movies...
Nrthwnd Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Interesting, that while they now allow up to ten films to be Oscar nominated, only nine got the nom, today. And "La La Land" got 14 nominations? Matching "Titanic's" noms? That's wild. About 5 more noms than "Chicago" got. http://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/2017 Also, I choose ZOOTOPIA over MOANA...and why no Finding Dory Oscar Nom Love? Recent thought. I am now wondering what the 10th film was, available for an Oscar Nom? Could it be possible that DEADPOOL actually hit the top ten in votes, but The Academy couldn't bring them self to allowing the nomination?
Nrthwnd Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I found a page about the "cost" of running the Academy Awards, everything from where it it's held, to the envelopes, the statues, and swag bags of course! They went through the 2015 Awards as an example. Total cost to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the 2015 Oscars: US$42,651,300 And you complained about Cineplex prices.
wmay Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 That was awkward but fun (tourist bus stunt) Hoping that Moonlight will take the main prize!
CP Maverick Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 And the best picture award goes to La La Land! oh, wait a minute Moonlight! Steve Harvey is probably enjoying this immensely.
wmay Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Yeah, that was crazy! Anticlimax for both parties I imagine. Wow...
Nrthwnd Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Whoever handed Beatty the other Best Actress envelope (it was explained, there were two sets of envelopes in two cases, opposite sides of the stage), wasn't paying attention. So, they'll just cut his hand off, I suppose. Congrats to Moonlight for the actual Win, and all the other nominees and winners!
Nrthwnd Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 ...and the (yes!) Great News about the BEST PICTURE flub, was that the "La La Land" group was so gracious, and got off the stage as best/fast as they could, under the circumstances. They were very classy in handling it. Kudos to them!
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 I really enjoyed seeing the Moana group. I have become quite a fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda in the last year. I basically watched the awards just to see him.
Nrthwnd Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 ^ Actually I enjoyed it, and the choreography was beautifully done, and the Sting number, instead of the one that won, from "La La Land". Either of those I'd of been happy with, winning. (I'm still not a Huge Totally HAMILTON Fanboi, sorry.)
B&MBoy1982 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 So, I was wondering what everyone thought about the new Beauty and the Beast. All shows were sold out when I went. I did manage to get 2 seats together Saturday night that wasn't right at the screen. I want to go see it again! What did everyone think? I think the entire cast did an awesome job. Was very impressed with Emma Watson in this. Josh Gad and Luke Evans were hysterical together. There was a bit more information in this movie than there was in the 1991 version. You find out what happened to Belle's mother. Timelines seem to be fixed and it makes sense.

I haven't seen the Disney original since I was a kid and I don't remember caring much for it back then, but this one was really well made!
