What movies are you watching?

[Anders]

Finished some hectic days and The Mandalorian now. Finally ready to start on the final 50 movies from 2015, including 40 I’ve never seen before. First up is:

Solace

The Outlaw King

Another enjoyable historical epic from Netflix (the other being The King) I don't usually bother with Netflix movies but they were both pretty dang good.

I remember liking that one.

[Anders]

I do feel the Kubrick connection in AI, but it’s almost a negative, since it would have been much better as a Kubrick movie.

[Jorge]

Oh man this reminds me of film school

[JuanHamm]

So general consensus is don't bother?

Maybe I'll finally watch Bram Stoker's Dracula.

If you like Minority Report you'd probably like AI. I just find Spielberg's style off putting. If you put the style aside and absorb the film's ideas, it's a good experience. If you imagine it done by Kubrick, it's even better.

[spike]

Do you imagine every movie as if Kubrick did it?

[Anders]

I think Minority Report is an excellent sci-fi action movie with Tom Cruise, and there are some futuristic similarities, but otherwise quite different movies.

Very different thematically, but similar visually.

[Anders]

Sure.

AI is a beautiful masterpiece.

[JuanHamm]

AI is a beautiful masterpiece.

Hmm, I trust you. I think I will watch it.

[Anders]

Don’t agree with that. It’s a bit boring, too sentimental, feels dated. The beginning is better than the ending.

[Anders]

AI is a beautiful masterpiece.

Hmm, I trust you. I think I will watch it.

It’s easily worth watchiing, if you end up liking it or not.

It's basically just Pinocchio

[Anders]

Solace

This is like watching CSI or Criminal Minds, completely forgettable.

Maggie

«A teenage girl in the Midwest becomes infected by an outbreak of a disease that slowly turns the infected into cannibalistic zombies. During her transformation, her loving father stays by her side.»

A rare Arnold movie that I haven’t seen.

[JuanHamm]

I don't think there's a single Arnie movie after the mid 90s that's worth seeing.

I don't think there's a single Arnie movie that's worth seeing.

[JuanHamm]

That's just stupid.
