The Zone

Plus it's Branagh shooting in 65mm for the first time since HAMLET.

And I love me some HAMLET.

Also happy to see Derek Jacobi in this. I honestly thought he was dead.

I think it looks great, can't wait to see it

by **Al Shut** on Sun Jun 04, 2017 9:37 am

Ribbons post has me a bit worried.

The potential of being great remains but my fears of how wrong it will be if it goes wrong have risen a bit.

Time will tell I guess.

My first thought was to make fun of the name because it sounds pretty close to Badonkadonk.

Then I watched the trailer, and it scared the pee out of me! Go away scary movie, GO AWAY!!!!!!

A friend of mine saw it at Sundance and said, "absolutely top notch filmmaking across the board, a terrific blend of "Candyman" like scares and Polanski-esque psychological suspense." It's now on my must-see list.

i always thought that guy from the Howard Stern show was a horror film waiting to happen.

This has been cracking me up for the last few days:

Thanks to a hilarious sorting error by Netflix, the Babadook from The Babadook has become a g@y icon

This actually happened late last year, but has been spreading across the Internet as a meme recently due to June being G@y Pride Month.

At a quick glance I'd write this off as another generic new horror film. But with it set in the X-Men universe....yeah, I'm interested. Not theater interested, but definitely home video interested.

i've been saying the same thing about comic movies/TV/etc for a while now, so brace yourself for the fact that you share an opinion with the both of us.

Isn't Josh Boone that guy who was going to make twelve movies about THE STAND?

Yes, but don't exaggerate. It was only FIVE movies about The Stand.

And while I'll admit that nothing in this teaser bowled me over, I think it sounds great conceptually, and I also think the movie has a shot at being a very potent use of the mutant allegory if they do it right. The first thing the institutionalized setting reminded me of were the Dumbledore conversion boot camps that many teens in our country get sent to (and god only knows what happens to them in the rest of the world). That seems like a perfect subject for a YA X-Men movie to tackle without being too on the nose, and as long as they don't try to do too much with it (stop the glowing thing in the sky, save the planet, etc.), I can see it being a pretty satisfying little entry in the superhero genre. Then again, it could also be a tonally confused mess like Ang Lee's Hulk.

Josh Boone also did The Fault In Our Stars, which was okay but this is not what I would have him expected him to follow that with.

by **Wolfpack** on Fri Nov 17, 2017 11:27 pm

Perhaps in this one George gets a little too curious and ignores one too many personal boundaries. I, for one, would like to see him get his comeuppance for killing all those cats.

I won't go so far as to call the Ocean's films "guilty pleasures," but I was entertained by all of them - even the European Vacation sequel that lacked the charm of the first had its moments. One of the few instances where charm was enough to forgive the weaknesses.

This appears to following the formula of the Clooney films. I'll give it a chance. Probably going to be a date night film. Give me an elaborate heist, a charming cast, and a great soundtrack (David Holmes had some good shit on the Clooney films), and I'll probably be happy. I just wish they had some older women in the cast like Elliot Gould and Carl Reiner in the first three films.

And I'm wondering if Clooney will appear at the end, having faked his death.
Or if Cate Blanchette will remove a mask to reveal she's Matt Damon (like the fake nose he wore in the one movie).

Just like Guy Ritchie's King Arthur film, there is such an over-emphasis on visual style over any substance of character.
