The Hibbity Hobbit. Sucked. The first hour of any movie shouldn't be a bunch of guys sitting around a house.

Ryan Gosling directorial debut, clearly influenced by Nicholas Winding Refn. Interesting visuals, good performances, excellent soundtrack, but the story is just meh.
The movie was pretty poorly reviewed from what I recall.

I was channel surfing and came across The Signal. Missed the first 40 minutes or so, so I came in at both an awkward time and intriguing time since the display was bugged and didn't tell me WHAT I was watching.
I found it interesting. I was wondering if anyone else had seen it.

I have. Solid film. Nothing special. I'd give it a 6.9/10 or thereabouts.

Decent. The second best one in the catalog I suppose. Without going back through this thread, I want to say a few board members said this was the best of the bunch. That idea is simply ludicrous. The special effects, acting and overall sense of wonderment was far greater in the first.
And to whoever raved about Pratt and how he's been in two blockbusters, let me just say, relax. The dude did some really good things in this, some others (too mechanical in his body language, his running to name a couple), not so much. That said, while I loved him in Parks and Rec, he's growing on me as a legitimate actor.
Just finished...
The Lady Vanishes (1938) | Criterion #3

It starts off a little slow but it'll draw you in soon enough. Margaret Lockwood is great in it and she's not too bad to look at. The movie is a classic Hitchcock mystery and I can see why it's #3 on the Criterion list.
A solid 98% on RT.

Do you get to see Christina Hendricks bewbs?
Well if it's influenced by Refn that makes sense. "Only God Forgives" got pretty bad reviews IIRC but it was a good movie. Some people get it, a lot of people don't. I will have to check it out to see if it's any good.

Focus was clearly more on the visuals than the story. Wasted some good performances, Matt Smith was pretty good in this.
The story of Tim Burton's Superman movie starring Nicholas Cage that never happened. pretty fascinating, much like Jodorowsky's Dune

Yeah, but Jodorowsky's movies are amazing and Tim Burton/Nicholas Cage sounds like it has the potential to be the worst movie ever (though it would have thoroughly entertaining).

Bowie: 5 Years (2014)
I recently went to a Mick Rock/ David Bowie photography exhibit based on a recently released book
https://www.taschen.com/pages/en/ca...ick_rock_the_rise_of_david_bowie_19721973.htm
and it reminded me that I had this Showtime documentary that I had not watched.

While I knew Bowie's music like most, I never considered myself a Bowieite. I think that's pretty much changed since watching this doc. There's some really great footage and interviews in the documentary and it's really well made. I'll def be looking to pick up some of his work in the bear future.
Dude is pretty prolific.

James Bond 007: Spectre
Not as good as Skyfall (pretty hard to beat really let's face it), but you know what, for $12.50 you still can't beat the production value. Surprisingly it was actually the french (?) girl who held this film together. She was wonderful, just so real and refreshing. There were some amazing and memorable sequences in this one, but together they just don't add up to a cohesive whole unfortunately.... Christopher Waltz was surprisingly a bit disappointing too.
I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5.

Burton in the 90's was still making decent movies. Not saying it would be oscar worthy or anything like that but it had potential to be the best superman movie.
I just found the documentary as a whole pretty fascinating, everything that went into it, excellent interviews, well researched. Recommend it to everyone.
It's a 250 million dollar movie, what the Weinstein are you talking about? Production value? Please advise.
