Re: Changes to Amazon Prime Video (i.e. ads)
How about the option for turning off all end credits pop-ups shilling other stuff on Prime or that horrible "Next episode" thing for the extra surcharge? :? That would be nice too. I get so tired of being redirected to another movie (which is of no interest to me — and which amazon is cle...

Re: SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES and WATCHER IN THE WOODS Finally on Blu-Ray Via Disney Movie Club
The pacing needed more energy, it needed the narration and those shots of the fall and the Midwest landscape in Autumn, and to be honest, it needed Horner's score. According to Cinefantastique Magazine, Clayton and Bradbury were very unhappy about Disney's removal of the "house climbing" ...

Re: It's a Wonderful Life Rescored
Whenever a critic singles out a score like this today, I know it's gonna be one of the best of the year. :lol: It's just sad that the few genuinely "old-school" film scores being written these days always get slagged off like this by critics, even if it's written for a movie that looks li...

Re: It's a Wonderful Life Rescored
What's saddening is that a lot of people will watch this movie and not realize how much the new "score" compromises the film.
Sadder still, some people will say the new score is better than that "old fashioned music".

Re: Dungeons & Dragons...this spring's sleeper?
4/10
I lasted half an hour before turning it off. The same old cliched characters and formulaic CGI effects.

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Barbie (1/10) I had almost zero interest in this movie, but I decided to watch it, because I wanted to know what kind of film grosses $1.442 billion at the box office. Having sat through it (and resisted the urge to turn it off several times) I'm no closer to an answer. The subject is a children's ...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
The Emerald Forest (8/10) This was a favorite of mine in my youth, and for the most part holds-up well today -- which is not to say it is perfect (either cinematically, or in its Blu-ray presentation -- more on that below). There are a number of stilted moments (particularly in its first 15-20 minu...

Re: Ridley Scott's Napoleon - "Clumsy, Funny" Critics Torch Scott's Latest
Good feature on Ridley Scott for CBS Sunday Morning... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0HUN32jwA8&t I don't know what this film is going to be like, but while I haven't enjoyed all of his films, Scott is still one of my favorites, and there always is something in a Ridley Scott movie that is vi...

Re: INDIANA JONES & THE DIAL OF DESTINY To Rival "John Carter" As Disney's Biggest Bomb
The cumulative impact of these scores he's written for Disney have, sad to say, added little/nothing to his creative legacy, but they've mostly been successful in keeping him active with those peripheral things he wants to do (and get paid handsomely of course in the process). I still feel those St...

A Mad Max movie which doesn't feature Max. Yeah, I'm dying to see that.

Re: INDIANA JONES & THE DIAL OF DESTINY To Rival "John Carter" As Disney's Biggest Bomb
How can this be?
I mean it’s a sequel to a 42-year-old movie with an uncomely, annoying leading lady trying upstage a much-loved (and now decrepit) hero.

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (8/10) Not so much a review (we've all seen it numerous times) so much as some musings. Hayden Christensen is considerably better in this film than in Attack of the Clones . This film is the best of the prequels, with a more cohesive and focused storyline. I think thi...

Found this very interesting interview with Airplane creators David & Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrams -- on Dennis Prager's Youtube page of all places.
