This makes me sad. While it certainly isn't Goodfellas, I always thought Pesci and Stone's performances are top-notch and Pesci's exit from the film has stayed with me my whole life.

Yeah, I probably had too high of expectations due to movies like Goodfellas. I also have a problem when basically an entire movie is a narration. I don't mind a narrator but I don't want 95% of the damn movie to be narrated. Felt like I was watching a documentary instead of a movie. Idk. I agree the acting was great, I just wish there was more of it. It just wasn't what I expected thus it was disappointing.

Also saw it this weekend and enjoyed it. Certainly an original take on a tired sub-genre of horror. The silent tension cut deep throughout the entire movie.

My only gripe is I saw it at a theater that had what were essentially rumble packs built into each seat (don't get out to theaters much so if this common nowadays, I guess Michael Bay is smiling somewhere) - it was distracting at first but worked decently well once you were use to it. However, if I ever saw a shoot-em-up / superhero movie in that setting, I'd want my money back.

really? I have buttkickers in my theater room (tied into subwoofer and vibrates your seat based on that) and LOVE them in action/superhero movies. You feel the explosions instead of just hear them. In Jurrassic Park when you can even feel the T-Rex breathing on you.

There's also a thing called D-Box where the seats move with the action. I have mixed feelings on those. But miss the buttkickers when I go to real movie theaters.

Understood - yeah the narration was a little jarring at first watch - there seems to be a lot more context provided then necessarily needed, but I've liked it more and more each but understand where you're coming from.

Synechdoche new York.. There.. Is a lot going on here.

A Quiet Place

I dunno what I'd rate it yet but I thought it was phenomenal. Everything down to the ominous soundtrack, which seemed to embody pure terror, had me on the edge of my seat. Don't really want to say anything at all because it's probably best to go in absolutely fresh as I did. Might be my favorite horror movie since The Descent. Not saying a lot since the genre has become a joke full of nothing but blood, guts, and torture porn shit these days, but this film is good. No doubt about it.

Did have one kinda-complaint

Spoiler

The abrupt gung-ho "Come get some!" style ending kind of contrasted with the rest of the movie, but that may have been intentional. They spend the whole film in hiding, and being hunted with no chance, maybe it was supposed to signify the tables had turned. Either way, it felt weird, won't say I hated it though.

So I just watched The Quiet Place and it reminds me of a certain video game...

Spoiler

Isn't everything in the movie a dead ringer for The Last of Us? From scavenging in deserted grocery stores to the monsters basically being dead ringers for Clickers, the entire world could have been straight out of the game.

This just makes me sad because I know we'll never get a TLOU movie, and I want one bad. Even if we did, it'd suck.

The new Jumanji movie was not as cheesy as I thought it would be and it even gave me some very nostalgic feelings. 8/10

Wanted to watch it with my kids but then found out it has Kevin Hart swearing in it so had to turn it off. Watched it that night with the wife and it was a great fun film. Jack black did a great valley girl impression

Just installed this myself to go along with the Dolby Atmos setup (4 ceiling speakers, 2 fronts, center, 2 surrounds, 2 subs + the 2 buttkickers)..

Gotta say, it's fantastic; adds a great deal of depth to the film, even at very low volume settings...

Hurricane Heist: a giant exploding glorious mess out of 10.

have you ever wondered what would happen if Twister for sexually assaulted by The Fast and the Furious? Me neither, but now i know what the offspring would be and it is glorious!

So much fun, so much silliness. From the English actors bad Irish-american accent (its the guy who in the Uk office throws a shoe over a pub) to the amazing action to the the hacker girl wearing a single shoulder evening gown to work.

would recommend if you want to switch off you brain for a couple of hours

The lady and I both enjoyed A Quiet Place. Really good film for the genre. Agree with @howler1313 that it reminded me of:

Spoiler

The Last of Us. Dad even looked like Joel a bit at the end there.

I'll never understand people that talk at movies. Woman two rows in front of me was whisper chatting for the majority of the film. We're talking about a movie that is based on the silence and nuance of sound. She was more of a creature than anything on screen.

Andre The Giant documentary on HBO was excellent!

This is a movie that that would annoy the fuck out of me at.

I watched Titan on Netflix the other night. Like alot of Netflix movies, it didn't feel completely hashed out. The first half of the movie was interesting and I thought was pretty good. The last half is where it all fell apart. It was a futuristic space movie that morphed into a horror movie of sorts.

I feel like alot of Netflix movies are this way. The writer is either making the script to try to get a tv series then doesn't know how to end it properly. Or the process that Netflix uses isnt fine tuned enough like the major studios. I feel like this movie, just like others, could have gone thru a bunch more iterations for it to be production ready.

Yeah, I watched it. It was mildly entertaining. Give it like a 5/10. Wasn't developed enough, but not a worthless couple of hours.
