I enjoyed Terminator Genisys when I rented it.

Tonight I will watch Sharknado 4 on SyFy.

From all the negative reviews i heard on Genisys, i was surprised at how much i liked it!

Just starting Logan's Run. Somebody was nice enough to give warning of its appearance on TCM. The opening is making me want my hyperloop.

Logan's Run was one of the shows I watched daily as a child. I LOVED it to pieces.

I just watched the last two episodes of Jessica Jones. Watched the first one and most of the second one. Couldn't stand the mopey story and just went to the last two so I could see how it ended. It ended good. I'm glad I watched the last TWO eps instead of the last ep because of story and intro to last ep.

Next on to Daredevil Season 2.

For movies I recently saw Star Trek Beyond and Star Trek Reboot. One of my friends who has NEVER seen Star Trek EVER loved Beyond. The Reboot bored her. I saw Beyond on the new Three screen special thing where there are two screens on either side of the main screen that show the picture all around you. That was AWESOME.

And I recently saw the new Ghostbusters. And now I can't find any mad scientist toys in the stores. ;) I liked the movie. It was fun. I wish the cameos had been them playing THEIR characters twenty years later. Rather than just random characters. I dislike the full rebootness of the new movie. :( But it was fun.

Next up...time to find out if Green Lantern will maintain its run as best DC Live Action Movie of the last decade when I see Suicide Squad on Friday.

;)

Last night I watched The Hunger Games, tonight I intend to watch The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Sometime this weekend I'll watch The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Parts 1 & 2.

Just finished Frozen. It's only been on the DVR for a year and half. It was a nice little movie, but I prefer the older animation style from Mermaid and Lion King times. And being a hopeless nerd, I started working on ideas for adding their realm to my next campaign world before the movie was half over.

If you liked the Hunger Games and want to watch a decent spoof try to find The Starving Games.

just watched the new ghostbusters...
suprisingly for a re make it own and does stand on its own merits....

"Star Trek Beyond" for date night with the wife; both enjoyed it very much.

Brother Jim · « **Reply #1392 on:** 06 August 2016, 16:00:53 »

I am going to watch 2 Lava 2 Lantula tonight on SyFy @9PM.

It is the sequel to Lavalantula which is getting repeated tonight on SyFy @7PM.

Medron Pryde · « **Reply #1393 on:** 07 August 2016, 11:25:27 »

I just watched Suicide Squad.

Good movie.

Subpar story, but awesome characters. Deadshot and Harley Quinn did stellar jobs of making the movie fun to watch. And Amanda Waller and Joker did awesome jobs pushing the story forward with their scheming.

Best Joker since Nicholson IMHO. And both he and Harley Quinn took MAJOR pointers from their animated versions. I could almost hear Mark Hamill and Tara Strong in the way those actors played the characters. Somebody HAD to spend a lot of time watching the animated show when they were figuring out how to write or deliver the stuff in this movie.

It was a fun movie to watch. Can we count this as the new tent poll film for the new universe? Please? This is the first DC movie that has been FUN to watch since Green Lantern. Think about that statement for a moment...

I loved this movie when it first came out. I remember seeing it in the theaters

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #1399 on:** 10 August 2016, 02:20:49 »

So cheesy but so much fun... I miss those old classic sci-fi cheese fest movies. Time Bandits anyone?

garhkal · « **Reply #1400 on:** 10 August 2016, 02:46:29 »

Surprisingly i can't even remember seeing time bandits..

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #1401 on:** 10 August 2016, 05:00:47 »

I think its on Netflix still. I thought about watching it a few months ago but decided not to.

Time Bandits was so much fun to watch. I had expected continuation, but i'm glad they didn't it didn't need it.

Brother Jim · « **Reply #1404 on:** 10 August 2016, 07:26:02 »

I watched We're the Millers (2013) last night on TNT. I liked it, it wasn't laugh out loud a lot funny, but it was entertaining enough I don't feel like I wasted my time.

I own it and at times I think it has aged terribly. Same with Fawlty Towers and to a lesser extent, Python. Good for their times, surely. I like Terry Gilliam's work, but for some reason the cinematography of Time Bandits makes me queezy.

This weekend i'm going to fire up Dark Days, which has been sitting in my collection for some time.

Just picked up Travolta's I am Wrath from the library to watch...

It's so bad and Bruce Campbell don't help it but McHales Navy.

Suicide Squad... Meh! Joker's role was a glorified cameo, boring bad guys, even boringer good guys. Harley Quinn has a higher kill count than the SEALs and all she uses is a mallet and baseball bat!? 4/10 ???
