JohnnyBlaze Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Balto. I hadn't seen the movie in years prior to watching it today. I personally found the movie very amazing. I'd always loved it growing up, but it just really hit me now how awesome it is. I also didn't know it was based on a true story. Beautiful animation! Same director though who did that awful Time Machine remake...Think I fell asleep watching Time Machine. Can't remember exactly but I remember starting it. I guess that means I either fell asleep or walked out. It's too bad because I like Guy Pearce. And it just reoccurred to me that that director, Simon Wells, is H.G. Wells' great grandson. Simon Wells has the odd very good animated movie under his belt. The Time Machine was a total misfire with a few beautifully done elements, notably some of the visuals. I bought it for £0.10. For that amount of money, I can say I didn't mind it. But being a massive H.G. Wells fan, the film is a massive letdown.Good grief that's cheap as hell. That's like ¥12 or something. Just yesterday I bought Peter Pan, Pinnochio, and Alice in Wonderland all for about 2 pounds. Haven't seen any of them since the late 70s so I thought I'd get them.

Babycat Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Snowbeast (1977) I guess it's not exactly a movie, more of a documentary - The Legend Of Bigfoot (1976) It's a double feature dvd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems vaguely familiar. Snowbeast does too. I probably saw both 35+ years ago. Used to love all those Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti stories. I must've watched that Patterson Bigfoot footage a million times over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one about the students who were brutally murdered in the Ural mountains, in 1959. Investigates it all, and suggests bigfoot ( well the Russian one) as a possible suspect :D . Really interesting circumstances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingcinderellaman Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 http://www.jasonbournemovie.com/images/share.jpg About what I expected. I'm not a big fan of the Bourne movies because I don't think Matt Damon is a good choice for Jason Bourne and I really HATE jigglevision. But as far as the Bourne movies go, it was alright.

I used to love the Leonard Nimoy-hosted show In Search Of that used to have episodes investigating Bigfoot, Loch Ness, UFOs, ghosts, and other mysteries. It was always interesting no matter what the focus was. I remember there was an episode on the real events behind the Amityville Horror. That was good for scaring (yet still fun & interesting) the shit out of an 8 or so year old JohnnyBlaze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The Wild Bunch ('69). Never saw this before. Seems like the last 20 minutes or so have been replicated a hundred times over since then. A little slow in some parts but the payoff at the end is quite good. Grade: B+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to give away any spoilers, but there is a lot of evidence to suggest real strange things happened there.What I find beautiful in a way is, the the remote environment and lonely lives the people around that area live. Desolate and cold, who knows what happened.What I also find interesting is that there are new types of large species being found. For example the Bili ape in recent years, and if you consider the Silver back gorilla was only documented around 60 - 70 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
