:yep: Doesn't he have positive reviews of FTWD. :shrug:

Yup, red flag #1.

100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. That is rare.

I don't care. Boyhood is rated a full point higher than Get Out and it rightfully bored many people to tears.

The pacing of Get Out is slow and boring. Peele doesn't know the first thing about suspense, tension, thrills, or horror. One thing pointing in this direction that is not a matter of opinion is the fact that the main character is not in any danger until the last 20 mins or so. Prior to that there's no part of this film that will have you "on the edge of your seat" or experiencing any negative reaction, how's that for plotting and structure in a horror film?

And in the meantime, none of the satire or race stuff is new or clever.
A black guy gets harassed by the police, a black guy gets stereotype as being a good athlete, a black guy gets stereotype as being large below. Yawn...

No way can I take your word on this, I would need to hear someone else say it sucks before I buy into that.

Oh trust me, soon many people will pop up and hone in on the same issues I have with the film.

Boyhood scored 101%, that is impressive. We're talking NFL effort level high.

Oh trust me

No. Be right about something first.

Get Out is NOT a good movie.

what's the hoopla with this movie? some people are saying it's a propaganda movie? just from watching the trailer, I don't see what they are talking about. It also got good ratings on Rotten Tomatoes

I am not your Negro was very good. Perhaps a bit too much attempt to connect to today's divisive racial climate, but James Baldwin was a true savant that most people don't really know about. The film focuses on him and it's well worth it. He had a very optimistic attitude without ever failing to understand things as they were. Also some amazing historical footage, particularly of the people who harassed civil rights marchers. There is a scene from what looks like Chicago (Cicero? Marquette Park?) where dozens of Nazi flags are flying and the people just look ready to explode. Incredible the hostility, only 50 odd years ago.

Since the IMDB boards got shut down I dont know where to go to discuss movies anymore. So just popping in here to see what people thought of Get Out. I saw it today and mostly agree with Houston. The movie is not anything special. Given the 100% score on RT I expected something more. Not saying its a bad movie but just average. For a movie being billed as a horror or thriller there really isnt much to it until the last 20 mins. Based on the trailers and clues earlier in the movie its pretty obvious how its all going to play out. None of the big reveals were all that surprising. I believe if this was the exact same movie just without the racial aspects of it, like the white bad guys were doing these things to other white people, this movie would have a hard time even reaching 60% on RT and would be fairly forgettable.

If you want to see a very different/out there movie, A Cure for Wellness isn't as bad as all of the reviews make it out to be. They could have ended it better, but overall, it was a decent movie. It was probably the strangest movie I've ever seen.

Saw Logan tonight. 4 out of 5 stars. Good movie. VERY different from all other Wolverine movies. Ultra violent and dark.

Bonus scene: Deadpool makes a 3 minute promo appearance for the next Deadpool movie. Would have gone just to see that.

Hidden Figures: 4 out of 5. Really good film.

Logan - 5/5

Spoiler

Excellent film. Represents the very best of the X-Men movie-verse IMO. And I say "film" because it actually was more than just a comic book movie. Dark, dense, and moody. Great story with the actors were clearly giving their all. Didn't pull any punches. Was worried some elements of the story were going to get cute with his daughter. They didn't, and really kept it grounded in reality. Loosely based on 'Old Man Logan' comic story. Really loosely, as it included many elements of other plot points and characters dating back to late 80's and early 90's Uncanny X-Men.

Back in the day, I was a huge Marvel comic fan. Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine were my top two titles. This film was ironic for me in many ways, because the first issue of X-Men I actually bought in 1989 was when Wolverine was captured and tortured by the Reavers at their Australian base. Since then have been dying to see them depicted on the big screen. And wow. I couldn't have been more happy to see how they adapted Donald Pierce and his gang of murdering cyborgs/mercenaries.

As a fan of Marvel, this was a perfect movie (and I want to be clear: I HATED his origin movie. The studio really screwed the pooch on that one). Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart were at their very best. It was clear to me that 20th Century Fox was not out to make shameless cash-grab (especially after that back-alley abortion Age of Apocalypse). They were committed to giving the die-hard fans an authentic film adaptation that truly captured the violent and tragic essence of Wolverine by producing one last hell of a heart-felt ride for Logan and Professor X. Not how I expected the X-Men (assuming they are all but deceased) to end up, but I am more sad than disappointed with how it went down with the Westchester incident. A very interesting and dark twist. This was most definitely an end of an era for this franchise. Really great to see Jackman get to end his portray of Logan in this fashion.

X-Men fans will love this film. Even the purists I suspect. And the rest of the audience? I think you'll like it too. Without a shred of doubt the most complete entry in the franchise to date.

BTW, the Deadpool teaser at the beginning is worth it's weight in gold. Curious who they'll cast as Cable...

Deadpool is just Marvel's way of pissing excellence.

Just saw Logan tonight and it's probably my 2nd favorite X-men film behind DOFP and just ahead of Deadpool. This felt like an X-men version of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" to me and is precisely why the X-men should stay with Fox. You can't get this level of darkness in the Marvel universe and it feels like with Deadpool and now Logan, Fox has finally found their niche in the superhero genre with dark, violent, and gritty films. Now they just need to stop fucking around and get that Gambit film made. Bring me the Thieves and Assassin's Guild.

Fun movie. Go and see it.

Snowden: ***/*****

An important story and well told in a Hollywood sort of way. But Oliver Stone kind of bugs me sometimes.
