The Belko Experiment (7/10)

 

Good, fairly formulaic thriller in the style of Battle Royale. Good fun.

 

Get Out (4/10)

 

The most overrated movie I have seen in a long time. One of only ten movies to have a score of 99% or higher with over 100 reviews on RT, knowing this doesn't sway me into thinking this is anything other than far fetched hokum.

Watched this odd assortment over the last 48 hours and in this order...

Hadn't seen this since the mid-late 80s but treeduck's recent Warriors thread pushed me into it. It's still good fun.

Grade: A-

Better than I expected. Nowhere near my favorite Miyazaki flick but if you like Miyazaki you'll likely like this one.

 

On a side note: As usual, I had the English subtitles going with the Japanese audio...and I noticed some mistranslations. My Japanese is nowhere near perfect but the mistranslations were pretty noticeable. I was watching with Mrs. B (who's Japanese and has good English) and she confirmed the mistranslations. I wonder if the same subtitle errors happen in the western DVDs/broadcasts. I've seen it happen before in other J-shows/films with either Japanese to English or vice versa but I figured Miyazaki movie storytelling language isn't too hard to translate (in the places I found them) so I was surprised by the mistakes. Anyway...

Grade: B-

Interesting characters, decent movie. As it progressed, Depp seemed less and less convincing as the main character. I can't say he was bad or that he ruined the movie but I would've chosen someone else for the role. Not sure who though.

Grade: B

Seventh Sign, later today perhaps. Looks dodgy though.

 

With Demi Moore, yeah? I saw that in the cinema about 30 years ago. It wasn't that bad...though it wasn't anything to write home about either.

 

If it's on tv, surely it's because of the combo of real world natural disasters + the recent solar eclipse.

Just got back from seeing the 40th Anniversary showing of Close Encounters of the Third Kind at the local theater here. Went with family and friends, it was awesome!! :dweez:
