General movie discussion

[Ridley Prime 402]

Have heard mixed things on it so far, but good to hear. Even with the lack of films this year due to current events, out of some of the films we did get (Birds of Prey, New Mutants, and such), figured WW 1984 couldn't be any worse than those.

I plan to see WW1984 tomorrow.

Detective Pikachu/BR

--Brother got it as a gift and I had kind of wanted to see it on the low myself.  Not bad but the end kind of channeled the final scene from Batman and then.... Pokefloats LOL.  I actually didn't find it that bad for what it was.

Soul. Honestly, glad I saw this too.
 
As for WW84, not everyone will enjoy it. But I haven’t watched much movies this year, and because I’m one of the unlucky saps who can’t work at my local movie theater now... I honestly needed this.

I've heard good things about Soul.

 

I saw WW84 tonight, it was pretty solid IMO.

Soul was fantastic. Story, visuals, everything.

 

Onward was better than I expected. Can already see them milking sequeling it

I did not like the play they made at the end of Onward.  Somehow that didn't sit well with me considering the theme/plot of the movie.

Just rewatched Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Still love it. 8/10

 

 

Saw this back in December. 

 

Akira - 8/10

 

Pretty good movie. It almost seems to be an allegory about nuclear energy.

Its not a bad anime per se' and while I don't dislike it I wouldn't say it would have "universal" appeal.  Nothing against its SciFi nature but amine from that time I am more into would be like Golgo13, Ninja Scroll, and the original Ghost in the Shell.  Maybe some Vampire Hunter D ( although, truth be told, I was more into the sequel).

It's more that it's one "the" animes people always mention and hits a lot of like top 10 lists.

Cox Spotted On "Spider-Man" Set? - Dark Horizons

 

Hmm.  I'd say I liked all of the casting for the Marvel shows from Netflix.  Maybe now that some of the rights deals between Disney, Fox, Netflix, and Marvel get right it can actually be a reality those actors get to reprise them.

 

Allen Still Hopeful For "Galaxy Quest 2" - Dark Horizons

 

Man, I'd love a sequel.  I thought the first one was great.... basically Star Wars/Spaceballs equivalent for Star Trek.
