Starets Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 On 2/10/2017 at 8:03 PM, DominicanHeart said: Did anyone see La La Land? yes it is a decent little film. lighthearted and enjoyable. lots of great jazz music. I saw Ben Hur last thursday. the 2016 version is much different than the 1959 version. Juda and Messala are brothers this time. Messala has a backstory and is less malevolent. Jesus is much more talkative in this version, although the back of his head in 1959 was very eloquent! Ilderim is a darker and far more cynical character this time around, a departure from the Wise Old Man that Morgan Freeman has played ince Shawshank Redemption. its good but not as good as the 1959 version.. its an action movie not an epic movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not A Mallard Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Anastasia (1997) First time watching. I actually really enjoyed it except for the out-of-place villain and the clunky last few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrysostom Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) I watched La La Land on a plane. Wasn't expecting to like it but I did! Also, I luuuurve John Legend's voice. Also, this was my 1,000th post! Edited September 9, 2017 by chrysostom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not A Mallard Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Most of this is stuff I've come across on Netflix: Dead Poets Society (1989) - It took a while for the story to grab me, and even then, I wasn't a fan of it. The Iron Giant (1999) - Rediscovered it last year by finding it cheap on DVD at Walmart; thank God it turned out to be an "I can appreciate it more now than I could as a kid" movie. Carrie Pilby (2016) - It engaged me throughout due to how much I related to the main character, but it has problems that prevent me from recommending it. The Road to El Dorado (2000) - Sadly, unlike The Iron Giant, I'm now glad that I often forget about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 風の谷のナウシカ (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind) (Studio Ghibli) 1984 Mankind has destroyed the earth. Poisoned it. Tries to escape from his own destruction. Insects attack when man steps out of bounds. Princess Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind comes to the rescue when Ohms threaten her village. I enjoyed it, but not as much as I enjoy other Studio Ghibli films... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not A Mallard Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Minority Report (2002) - First viewing; pretty good. Jurassic Park (1993) - Millionth viewing; still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not A Mallard Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) - First viewing; it was freaking devastating. My Neighbor Totoro (1988) - Got the 90s VHS English dub working for the first time in years; not the best voice acting, but massive nostalgia attack.

Not A Mallard Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 The Way Back (2010) - Sometimes engaging WWII-based survival story with serious pacing issues. My Life as a Zucchini (2016) - Eye-opening claymation French film about a group of orphans with abusive pasts and the bonds that they share. Edward Scissorhands (1990) - I'm not sure why I wanted to rent this one since I'm not a fan of Tim Burton; needless to say, it didn't win me over to his weirdness. Before Sunrise (1995) - I heard it was one of the greatest romance movies; it was...alright. Beauty and the Beast (1991) - Certainly the best of the Disney Renaissance; not my favorite Disney movie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not A Mallard Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) - Best popcorn movie in recent years (since The Avengers). The Peanuts Movie (2015) - First time since I saw it in theaters; made me realize how much of an empty nostalgia trip it is. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - It's impressive, but I'm not a big fan of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
