A Quiet Place (2018)
What a fantastic sophomore entry for John Krasinki as a director. I had no idea he directed this until the end credits. A solid modern creature feature.
The second is one of my favorite movies of all time, I even got S.S. Wilson to autograph my blu-ray copy. But “people” generally consider it worse than the first.
Short Circuit (1986) - Amusing if slight story. Doesn’t do much to make me care all that much about anything going on. Cool robot I guess. C

The back-up stories may or may not be canon. But apparently the main stories are?
Is there a Video game that has the look and atmosphere of…Sci-fi - Horror Movies from the 50s
There’s THE DEADLY TOWER OF MONSTERS the premise of which is the game is actually a 1950s Sci-Fi film and the director is recording the commentary track as you play. I own it but haven’t given it a go yet.
There was I WAS AN ATOMIC MUTANT a budget title from 2003, that had an amazing soundtrack…and that was pretty much it.
And finally there are the classics ROCKET RANGER and IT CAME FROM THE DESERT from Cinemaware.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard you with a positive opinion of anything, so that’s not saying much.
Here’s My List.
Journey to the Center of the Earth. In 4D!
I’m going to assume you mean this version to make Frink cry:
Added trailer for:
The Darkest Minds
What was the last movie Nic Cage was in that was actually good? Seems he’s been in nothing but schlock since the mid '00s.
I don’t know about you but I’m looking forward to checking these out as soon as I get a chance:
An Army of One (2016)
Mom and Dad (2018)
The Humanity Bureau (2018)
Wow. That’s highly offensive to any other film series. Michael Bay projects are a special level of awful all unto themselves.
Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)
A pretty fun ride. It’s not quite as good as the first but I commend them for staying true to the spirit of the original. The only thing that really drags it down is their reliance on the kid genius trope toward the beginning. Thankfully it’s not overdone and the rest of the film carries its own weight. Hopefully Guillermo will return if they decide to do a third entry.
Well we did just get Skull Island and have the sequel to Godzilla to look forward to!
I gotta hold out hope! Especially since I already bought an IMAX ticket…
I’ve gotten to see a few. It’s always great when I get the chance:
There’s probably a few I’m forgetting. But my dream theatrical experience is to see the original 3D presentation of Creature From the Black Lagoon. If I ever catch wind of them doing it again I will go out of my way to drive out to wherever it may be.
Pacific Rim (2013)
A fun film. Gorgeous visuals and great fight scenes. It gets bogged down a bit by the needlessly convoluted drift concept and the decision to set the film 12 years into the Kaiju war. But the main plot is decent and the character writing is solid. I wonder if del Toro had hoped they could turn the first 12 years into an animated series. It would certainly lend itself to that. In any case, I hope the sequel can live up to the visuals and character moments from the first.
Added trailers for:
Fahrenheit 451
The Titan
Nightflyers
My opinion is that the joke is funny, not that the film is bad. I don’t have an opinion of the film, though I do think the twelve year shoot is inherently pretentious if it isn’t good.
That’s a dumb thing to think. If it isn’t good it’s not pretension, it’s just a failed experiment.
Yeah. Whereas A Wrinkle in Time was both pretentious and a failed experiment. 😉
Boy(ʰᵒᵒᵈ), this conversation sure feels like it’s gone on for 12 years.
The sequels aren’t better, either. In Europe the covers are different at this point at least.
Batman - Watching Spider-Man got me in the mood to watch another superhero movie with Michael Keaton.
Check out Birdman if you haven’t, and while not a super hero film, I highly recommend The Founder.
The Land Before Time (1988) - Would have been a great movie if the dinosaurs didn’t talk. C+ > >
Dom is dead to me as well. And this one isn’t nostalgia, I’ve watched it in the last year. Still one of the best Don Bluth films.I didn’t even say it was bad.
You gave it the same score as A Wrinkle in Time.
The Land Before Time (1988) - Would have been a great movie if the dinosaurs didn’t talk. C+

I did a double take because I thought I saw Sebastian Shaw in the cast list. 😛
How deep does this rabbit hole go?
