TV & Film Movie Lounge

Last week's movies: The Maze Runner. It was pretty good and based on a YA novel series.
Thor Ragnarok. I love these Marvel movies. They are fun!
The Meg. Jaws ripoff. Some scenes were outright stolen from Jaws! Still entertaining!
Inferno. Tom Hanks solving mystery and saving the world! It was ok. I fell asleep in the middle.

I want to watch Green Book.

That looks like a good movie. I would like to see it also. I watched the following movies on DVD this past week:

Tron not the original, the sequel. I loved the original Tron from the 80's. This one was just ok.
The Justice League More fun from comics. I think I like Marvel movies better though, more humor.
Passengers Rather boring scifi starring "A list" actors, Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. Nice visuals.
Ready Player One This is about a virtual world/game that everybody plays. Not a bad movie but struck a nerve.

You and I would be great movie buddies if we lived near each other. :D I loved Thor Ragnarok.

I haven't seen Ready Player One, but I read the book. It was very entertaining.
 
We loved Ready Player One!

Watched Velvet Buzzsaw on Netflix last week - weird characters & the storyline has no context or explanation behind it. Really would not recommend. 4/10
 
I thought Ready Player One was really dull.:ignore:

I only saw one film at the cinema last year. Halloween 40 years on. I loved it!:starshower:

I am having a lot of fun with Marvel movies! :D I watched Dr. Strange this past week and it was cool. I am getting to know the characters! It was another fun movie.
Ready Player One struck a nerve with me because Jeremy was (and still is I'm sure) so immersed in game playing and the virtual world of Second Life that it destroyed our relationship.
 
Movies I watched this past week:

A Quiet Place This movie was pretty awesome! Very tense and scary! Some disturbing scenes. Recommended if you like scary movies.
Seventh Son Ok fantasy movie with some big name actors, namely Julianne Moore and Jeff Bridges. Nothing special.
The Girl on the Train I think this movie which was taken from a book was not that good. I imagine the book was much better. It did pick up at the end but was supposed to be a "thriller".
The Post Meryl Streep is outstanding in this true story about the Pentagon Papers which happened in the Nixon era. Good movie. Also starred Tom Hanks.

I need to see The Post. I read The Girl on the Train, and I thought it was awful. Most people I know who read it loved it, but I found most of the characters completely unlikable and mostly annoying, especially the main character. I couldn't understand what all the hype was about.
 
I want to watch Green Book.

The more I hear about the movie, the less I want to see it ... :(

In a disappointing but not altogether surprising left-turn that soured one of the most inclusive, entertaining Oscar ceremonies in memory, Green Book, a racial reconciliation fantasy written for white people, by white people secured the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Leave No Trace. I absolutely loved the young actress (New Zealander) in this film.
Serenity. Bad as it gets but MM is absolutely brillant.
Blythe Spirit. Always a winner. Margaret Rutherford is a hoot.

Earthsea typical fantasy. The acting was pretty bad!
Fantastic Beasts and where to find them Pretty cool!
Into the Forest Not a bad post apocalyptic story about 2 sisters alone after the power grid goes down.
Soul Surfer True story of champion surfer who loses her arm to a shark. Ok movie.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider Not the original one which I haven't seen yet. It was ok but I fell asleep in the middle.
