Re: KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES - Andy's Review

That's exactly my point Michael. It's like they're telling these peripheral stories around the "edges" of PLANET OF THE APES but the draw of those movies was this kind of wild, funny, black comic look at a world where apes were running the show. Here, we're "getting there" but ag...

Re: KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES - Andy's Review

I just assumed she put it away but I agree, they could've just put an establishing shot there clarifying she wasn't holding "it". I should clarify that I wasn't bored per se -- I just felt the pacing was slack. For me nearly every scene felt like it could have cut in half. There was no sub...

Re: LAWRENCE OF ARABIA 4K UHD $40 - Live Again (Don't Wait!)

Sony must've repressed another round because this is back in-stock at all the usual suspects. https://www.amazon.com/Lawrence-Arabia-Anniversary-Limited-Steelbook/dp/B09TLBJNPT?crid=2SPV9QJYBVXL5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.n1Ef98jSm6RXDYHRlb6ZazNF_uR6kEjPgMvEtG9ipb3lW_2_YPcUe9GlbmfHqOX5jB4CjYmzCVqsfB6jzUO...

Re: rate the last movie you saw

As Paul said I've never been a big LABYRINTH fan -- it's ok but is too lightweight and I dislike the Trevor Jones synth score -- and WILLOW was a missed opportunity that I've never been big into either. I don't even like Horner's score! THE DARK CRYSTAL on the other hand is a spectacular achievement...

Re: KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES - Memorial Day

7/10 The very definition of "servicebale," Wes Ball's continuation of the modern-day APES retains its mostly humorless, glum tone as post-pandemic apes butt heads with a few stray humans running about. The audience here follows one thoughtful simian named Noah as he tries to save his "...

The overseas Fox Blu-Rays of LEGEND aren't region coded so any release you get wouldn't be locked. They also have the longer version as a "bonus feature"

Re: rate the last movie you saw

Too bad the European version can't be seen as well since I get that's a different rights holder. It's not a different rights holder per se -- Fox has the movie overseas, Universal domestically, but they co-own it depending on where you are. The European version was easily found (and still can be) i...

Re: rate the last movie you saw

It's scarcely any different than the other ending, him running off alone versus them running off together. I don't think it's supposed to be depressing at all.

The contrived ending is the US theatrical one where they overlaid Darkness laughing like its going to lead into some kind of sequel. :x

Re: rate the last movie you saw

GLASS stinks. Shyamalan's great tease of something exciting happening and then pulls the rug out from under you. Willis must have been in the early stages of dementia (or worse) because he looks totally uninterested also. :(

Re: Salem's Lot...is it EVER being relased?

This sounds about right...completely plausible. YouTube channel The Kingdom Movie Channel posted an update in which the host goes over an email from an alleged insider close to the situation that blows the lid off what’s been going on behind the scenes since at least 2022. The delays dating back to ...

Another Studio About to Bite the Dust: Sony's Proposed Plan for Paramount

Paramount about to follow Fox into the graveyard of Hollywood?

Another studio going away would absolutely continue the decline of the movie industry, and old Hollywood itself, as we know it.

Hopefully Sony doesn't win this one.

Re: LORD OF THE RINGS: THE HUNT FOR GOLLUM - Andy Serkis & Crew - 2026

I think their "learned lesson" is only Peter Jackson's people ought to be making these "sequels" or "prequels" or whatever they are. It is incredibly ironic that Jackson -- who people were going nutty over his LOTR films and saying he was the next big thing in cinema --...

Re: KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES - Memorial Day - Trailer

Reviews are in and they're mostly really good!

I'm up for this. WAR bored me but the change in setting and the fact we're actually getting the PLANET OF THE APES this time has me interested.
