Red Mosquito

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

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.

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.

Oh man this reminds me of film school

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.

Do you imagine every movie as if Kubrick did it?

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.

Sure.

AI is a beautiful masterpiece.

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

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

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

It's basically just Pinocchio

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.

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