"The Great Escape"

Worth watching for Steve McQueen's motor cycle rides.

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Today at 07:49:00 AMSo I finally got around to watching The Flash while I was on the plane and perhaps its just my super low expectations of anything DC, but I actually enjoyed it! I thought it was supposed to be horrendously bad.

I'm with you on this one.

Alien Resurrection
This film does so many things right and dammit, so many things wrong.

Positives: it's a great-looking film with an excellent cast (for the most part). But its gothic horror and quirkiness whilst admirable in trying to do something different just doesn't fit in with the previous 3 films.

This film leaves me with so many questions though. The `moving and alive' hive for example.

Fight Club.
Is was 18 in 1999 and when I saw this film in the cinema I was bored to death watching it. Very disappointed.
Now, I've seen it a dozen times at least and it's in my top ten films of all time. An absolute masterpiece that makes me very nostalgic for probably the best years of my life between 1998 and 2001.

Solomon Kane

Pretty good outside of some wonky logic and that dumb fire demon at the end.

The Terminator

Immediately killing Shao Kahn is certainly one way to make an entrance.

Alien 35mm print scan.

The highly compressed audio really highlights every detail of the ambience and background sound in a way that's not strictly ideal, but fascinating highlighting the absolute depth of the sound mix.

This is definitely my favourite way to look at the film though.

Quote from: Stitch on May 03, 2024, 07:49:30 PMLast Action Hero

Got it in 4K, only put it on to check the picture quality, ended up watching it all...

Killer soundtrack on that album.


AvP Requiem. Massive drop off in all departments even from the original AvP. Take all the human characters out and it would be a half-decent AvP brawl film. Absolutely comical characters, even worse story. Cheap looking xenos (though the Predalien is very good). Wolf is the only real highlight of the film.

Absolutely piss poor film. See @Local Trouble, I do dislike some things :-D
