8/10 This was kind of...awesome...? :shock: For a mercenary franchise-extender, it's surprisingly shocking, stylish and well-acted, with a rustling, eerie score by Mark Korven that's not Jerry (until a climatic usage of "Ave Satani" that made me grin from ear-to-ear), but, by today's stand...

Lots o' goodies this round...

No thank you.

Lovely news! One of Dante's best, and it'll be nice to have a reproduction of the excellent one-sheet art.

I pretty much loved it and honestly for what it is, it's a perfect kids movie and a throwback to 50s Sci fi where people would go walking through the jungle, find some undiscovered tribe, etc. Except this time in the ridiculous hollow earth setting! This movie really is a kids film too. There's not...

But as far as I'm concerned, if George Lucas wants to play this game of irresponsibility to historic preservation simply to cheat his ex-wife out of royalty money (I am 1000% convinced this is the reason why he has done what he has regarding the original cuts), I'm going to register what I think of...

- Star Wars (1977): 10/10 - The Empire Strikes Back (1980): 11/10 - Return Of The Jedi (1983): 8.5/10 https://compote.slate.com/images/33fb0974-5b56-4006-8244-1b5b6e86ad39.gif Finally picked up a copy of the "Despecialized" versions of the Star Wars trilogy for a song on Facebook, and find...

In contrast The Road Warrior gets no more than two or three minutes of coverage, which is pretty unforgivable considering how influential it was -- and that it was a big hit despite being a sequel to a film almost no one in America saw. The original Mad Max made $100 million! https://screenrant.com...

The appeal of the original Star Wars in 1977 was due, in large part, to it being so UNcomplicated and black & white, coming towards the tail end of a decade where real life was so consistently awful (crime, poverty, mistrust of government due to Watergate, ect.). Now that we've emerged from an e...

Dude's fifty, but still looks like he's thirty-five (and he's still physically spry).

Who are these FETUSES in the cast...? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/split_5_16x9_template_v1-copy.jpg?w=1296&h=730&crop=1 We've come a long way from the days a sci-fi movie cast could look like this: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNjIyODEzYTItZjY3Ny00M...

This one checks so many boxes and has so many cast members its amazing it isn't 3 hours long. Plus half the scenes in the trailer aren't in the movie which is an obvious sign of trouble typically. There you go. :P I'll see this...but not until the middle of next week. No burning desire whatsoever. ...
