Message: [QUOTE="Mano, post: 3485227, member: 3300"] [B]Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark[/B] - Some decently chilling creature design, a basic story, and underwhelming main baddie. Like most horror movies, I find it really wasn't scary. [B]Onward[/B] - Followed the Pixar formula pretty closely, but the central plot hit pretty close to home for the wife (father died when she was 9) so it made the whole proceedings oddly personal. Good movie. [B]Knives Out[/B] - It think it thought it was much more clever than it actually was. IMO it was merely ok, I don't think I need to see any more of Benoit Blanc's cases. Who throws up if they lie? So dumb. [B]Terminator: Dark Fate[/B] - I don't know why I stay up to date on some of these long running franchises that ran out of ideas a long time ago. Oh, we now have a new savior of the future humans because the machines sent a Terminator back and wiped out the last savior you say? And now they sent another Terminator to wipe out this one? But the humans sent back someone to protect that savior? And now they are going on a Pepé Le Pew style chase where we know the savior will eventually win out because, well, they have to otherwise the franchise ends? Why not just give us the future timeline all-out war movie that the Terminator franchise should have ended on 4 movies ago now? Oh, right because then the franchise ends. Put it out of it's misery Cameron! [B]Midway[/B] - You know how sometimes with shoddy CGI the animators can't get the weight, physics and sizing quite right for the action set pieces? That's kind of a metaphor for this whole movie. There was no weight behind the portrayals because the cast were largely chosen for their looks instead of their chops. The physics (bear with me) of Ed Skrein attempting an American accent that was constantly betrayed by his natural English one and a Jonas brother trying to sound like he was an Italian from NYC were both laughable. And the sizing was wrong because, although it had a big story to tell, it felt long as it just wasn't very good. See? Perfectly terrible metaphor. Lol. Also I had no issues with the subtitles, all the scenes with the Japanese were subtitled. [B]Abominable[/B] - Some nice animation, plot was fine, but kind of really weird how they Americanized a lot of things for a movie that took place entirely in mainland China. [B]Spies in Disguise[/B] - We're only a week in and we've exhausted the new kid's movie library pretty much, not good. It was passable, kind of hard to get invested in it. [/QUOTE]
