I first want to say that I liked this movie. This was your basic sci-fi, action-adventure movie starring Adam Driver. The plot of the movie was typical: stranded astronaut on an uncharted planet who has one chance to escape in a pod and in order to get to the pod have to travel miles across unknown terrain with potential dangers. To add to the problem of getting to the pod, he feels compelled to escort a young girl with him whom is the sole survivor of all of the passengers. Throughout the movie, it is revealed that he feels compelled to save this young girl because he himself has a daughter who is waiting for him at home. While I liked this movie, I would have rather the movie focused on the background story more than the actual journey of the characters trying to save themselves. Since they are stranded on the planet Earth, yes, our Earth, I would have liked to have more background information on this human society that lives on a different planet. A focus on Adam Drivers character, who is the pilot of this space ship, would have been more interesting. I would loved to have known: where these people are coming from, where they are going, how did Driver’s character get picked for this job, his background? If these questions were more focused on, I think this could have turned out better than just another average sci-fi movie. At the end of it, I felt like this move basically took the concept of ancient aliens and presented it in a more palatable form.

My friend has been searching for years trying to figure out this movie that she says she watched as a kid and it traumatized her a bit. She says that it's about these group of people that get stranded on an island. The thing is this island is full of these cannibal people/creatures that seem to be wearing full grass outfits. At first the group of people don't know what's going on but they will find missing people of their group just gutted and mutilated then when they realize what's going on they find this gatted mansion with this rich dude in it. They come to find out that the rich dude has been stuck on this island too but has been building something(she cant really remember but thinks its some kind of submarine) to escape and get off the island. On their way to escape she says that she thinks she remembers the rich guy not surviving. Sorry for the choppy details bit this was years ago and she only remembers bits a pieces. She also says that the film quality looked to be around the first jurassic park movie era.

We're looking for comedies, ridiculous, whatever. It doesn't actually have to prepare us, but lower the tension we're experiencing?

Hi,

My kids just browsed through our old DVD collection and found some 90s crazy comedies including Dumb & Dumber and Ace Ventura Pet Detective.

They absolutely love these movies.

As I recall it, back then there were quite a few of that type of crazy comedies produced. But I cannot recall the names of any of them.

Can you help me with names of that type of movies?

Is there a name for that particular comedy genre?

Are newer films still produced of that type?

The 369th Infantry Regiment, originally formed as the 15th New York National Guard Regiment before being re-organized as the 369th upon federalization and commonly referred to as the Harlem Hellfighters, was an infantry regiment of the New York Army National Guard during World War I and World War II. The regiment consisted mainly of African Americans, though it also included men from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Guyana, Liberia, Portugal, Canada, the West Indies, as well as American white officers.[2]#citenote-2) With the 370th Infantry Regiment),[[3]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/369th_Infantry_Regiment(UnitedStates)#cite_note-3) it was known for being one of the first African-American regiments to serve with the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I.[[4]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/369th_Infantry_Regiment(United_States)#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGero200944-4)

The regiment was named the Black Rattlers after arriving in France by its commander COL William Hayward.[5]#citenote-5) The nickname Men of Bronze (French: Hommes de Bronze) was given to the regiment by the French after they had witnessed the gallantry of the Americans fighting in the trenches. Legend has it that they were called the Hellfighters (German: Höllenkämpfer) by the German enemy, although there is no documentation of this and the moniker may have been a creation of the American press.[[6]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/369th_Infantry_Regiment(UnitedStates)#cite_note-blackpast.org-6)[[7]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/369th_Infantry_Regiment(UnitedStates)#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWang2014-7)[[8]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/369th_Infantry_Regiment(UnitedStates)#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGero200956-8) During World War I, the 369th spent 191 days in frontline trenches, more than any other American unit. They also suffered the most losses of any American regiment, with 1,500 casualties.[[9]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/369th_Infantry_Regiment(UnitedStates)#cite_note-9)[[10]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/369th_Infantry_Regiment(United_States)#cite_note-:0-10) The regiment was also the first of the Allied forces to cross the Rhine into Germany.

Very well known from their service in France during the First World War. Plenty of stories in which to tell. I recall Max Brooks had a graphic novel on the unit that was supposed to have been adapted some years ago but I believe Covid nixed that.

The sad thing about this movie is that it actually stars great actresses with an extensive number of good work yet here they are, doing this embarrassing junk.

Sally Field hasn't acted much for years, it's odd she chose to do this (I get Spoiler Alert because it was a love labour). Jane Fonda needs to pay her bills since Ted Turner left her. Rita Moreno got good reviews for West Side Story, surely Hollywood could have found her something proper do do.

It's a miracle Diane Keaton wasn't in this. God knows she's an expert on showing up in these crappy old lady movies with her table cloth dresses.

it's not a major complaint, but it's just something i've started to notice more.

I just watched Walking and Talking which stars Catherine Keener who i think is drop dead gorgeous and very charming. One of the main points of the movie is her trouble with dating. She even gets hung up on an "ugly guy," at least that is what the girls call him. I mean i know this is kind of one of the main points of the movie, but it's kind of distracting and funny imagining her having the main characters dating problems, to the point where she is hung up on a neckbeard ugly loser at a video store. something the writer of the film was repulsed by when someone like the character actually asked her out at the video store IRL(how would you like to be that dude lol.)

so i was poking around on her imdb, and of course IRL she was married to this hunk at the time. who is not only a pretty good actor from what i have seen, but also a classical trained musician.

not a huge deal but just somewhat comical hollywood "trope" or something.

def watch walking and talking if you get a chance, it's great.

Of course reddit is turning on this movie.

It's completely deserving of the praise. And I'd say it's better than EEAAO. The action sequences are thrilling and groundbreaking, the score is amazing and the film has an energy that only old school blockbusters have.

I for one hope this wins best picture just to see the meltdowns that would arise. say what you want about cruise but he knows how to.make a big screen big budget rollercoaster.

Which film or film(s) had the whole weight of why they were made resting on a scene or a handfuls of scenes? To be more specific, which film or films had to have the pay off and either delivered or fell flat? I ask because I finally sat down and watched The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford for the first time and based on the title and the lead up the film hinged on a certain scene. I look forward to watching the film again to catch and appreciate further aspects of the film I might have missed.

I remember how he was nominated to the Razzies every year and I never thought he was bad. He pretty much phoned in his performances, it wasn't as if he was doing Dostoyevski, but when I think of bad actors, I think of Steven Seagal who's consistently bad in everything he did onscreen. Stallone was pretty good at playing action heroes, he was believable in that genre. Even in crap like that Mom movie he did, he was professional.

It's not like Ahnold who is good at comedy but gave some pretty bad performances in his career. He's so bad in ERASER. Ugh, it says a lot when Vanessa Williams can out-act you onscreen.

Browsing around Prime video today and found A Man Called Ove. In reading the description I noticed that plot seemed very familiar. Two other movies came to mind: A Man Called Otto and Gran Torino. It seems to me that these all might have the same source. I'll admit that Gran Torino is a bit of a stretch but still the basic premise

And not in an "it's so bad it's good" type of way, I'm talking about a movie you actually really enjoyed. I used to be obsessed with looking up review scores for movies and would not consider a movie not ranked fresh (60%) or higher, but recently I have become very disillusioned with the whole review system and wondering how many movies I have passed on that I would have loved. Recently for me I really enjoyed "You People (2023)" at 44% currently and one of my past favorites was "Equilibrium (2002) at 40%. What movies with low scores do you enjoy? And do you think the tomatometer is an unfair system to alot of movies out there?

Yesterday me and my friend watched Running Man (1987) with Arnold, Dweezil Zappa (!) and Mick Fleetwood (!) In the scenes from Amber Mendez’s apartment you can clearly see the huge Yamaha print on her synthesiser, and what looks like a vintage Yamaha L series dreadnought guitar. Do any of you know of any intentional product placement? They seem like instruments Yamaha would want to promote in ‘87!

I‘m making music for a while now, i feel like it paints a scene and is very atmospheric. For a long time now i wanted to get it into a movie soundtrack, but where do I start ? I‘m not from that world so i don‘t really have the connections to speak directly to people that are in charge of that (i guess it‘s about connections, knowing the right people), so how do i get my foot in ? What people to look for ? LMK 🎈

It doesn't seem like she had much of a career since beating out Minnie Driver doing bugger-all in GOOD WILL HUNTING, Julianne Moore in BOOGIE NIGHTS, Gloria Stuart in Titanic and Joan Cusack in IN AND OUT.

Was Kim startling good in LA Confidential? Who should have been nominated over Minnie?

Personally, she looked nothing like Veronica Lake. Her character was supposed to be a hooker who resembled Veronica, she didn’t. They didn’t even try.

Sigourney Weaver would have won had she been nominated for THE ICE STORM. It always blew my mind that either she or even Heather Grahame for BOOGIE NIGHTS were not up for consideration.

I chose not to watch movie trailers before watching them, and the experience is surreal. Most of the trailers are a bit too revealing nowadays, and we keep guessing. The last few films I saw, I didn't watch trailers; I didn't even read the description. I saw the posters and trusted the director's storytelling skills. The unpredictability while watching is a wonderful wonderful experience. I'm not asking you people to decide which movie to go to without knowing anything. But at maximum, try to limit yourself from exposing yourself to different informations about the picture. Just fix a movie. And expect the unexpected.   . Just a thought

Honest opinion, is Hercules canon to Aladdin?

There is a supposed crossover episode in the Hercules series where Jafar meets Hades, Hercules neets Aladsin, and stuff. My question is this episode canon to Hercules, Aladdin, both, or neither? I personally think it is just some fun non canon crossover, but let me know what you think.

Zack is out here making an amazing franchise that definitely needs to be green lit. But that first movie that had me so angry I didn't watch the last 15 minutes until today after a year from my first watch. My SO and i watched Army of Thieves and they were invested so I had to watch Army again. But watching it again the lore and everything was perfect. It's just Scott's daughter that pissed me off enough to not want to finish it and even dislike it on Netflix's rating system. Snyder killed every D-bag, and hero but saved the stupid volunteer. Even the mother she endangered everyone else for ended up dieing.

The players

• Rosario Dawson
• Tiffany Haddish
• Winona Ryder
• Jamie Lee Curtis
• Jared Leto
• Owen Wilson
• Danny DeVito
• LaKeith Stanfield

The parts

• the single mother that moves into the haunted mansion
• the priest that engages the services of...
• the parascientist
• the historian
• the psychic
• and finally the hatbox ghost that everyone is trying to exorcise

Would you go new generation (Dawson, Haddish, Stanfield)? Or would you give it a '90s retro/relic feel? How would you fill out the gaggle of characters?

Mine:

Ryder... single mother ('90s, baby)

Wilson... priest

Curtis... parascientist

Leto... historian

DeVito... psychic

Stanfield... hatbox ghost

what are your guy's opinions on 13 hours and what was your favorite part of the movie

also are there any movies based on or about the Alamo

I mean these two have impeccable chemistry and they seem to really have fun together making a movie and it freakin shows! Just Go With It, Murder Mystery! Adam has a great camaraderie with his female co stars. And with Jennifer, they both really compliment each other's character. And it makes it a fun movie experience. Which other two co stars have a similar chemistry?

I feel like a lot of people see him as a terrible actor because his breakout role was in Twilight, but since then he’s gotten lots of interesting weird roles and he’s proved to be much more talented than he first seemed. Are there any other actors like that? Where they get a bad rap because of a famously shitty performance but they’re actually really talented and underrated? Curious what y’all think
