The trailer got me to not do Zombeavers...gore doesn't allure me....even in spoofs....maybe even less in spoofs cuz spoofs really over-do the gore.
Started watching Real Humans.....4th episode so far, and I'm still waiting to get "hooked".....a bit too much soap-operary. But I think I'll keep slogging to see if it can grab me. I watch almost everything, and I'm so jaded, it's surprising I can still be pleased by anything. Heh. But, there's gold in them thar hills -- soooooo, in case you haven't seen them: Black Sea gave me a good Das Boot hit. Haywire is not to be missed if you want to see a tough broad kick all kinds of serious ass. Lockout fixed my SciFi jones just fine thank you....and the jokes were golden. "I'm being beat up by a guy named Rupert?" Paul -- but of course. The Interview -- but of course Looper -- a "gotta see" but a bit disappointing. Premium Rush is much better with Joseph Gordon-Levitt than Looper, and it gives us Zod as a cop bad guy. The Babadook had me hitting the pause button nine times. Safety Not Guaranteed snuck me into a love story.....with a great SciFi ending none-the-less. Probably you've seen most of the above, right? BTW: Which is correct: snuck or sneaked? Snuck is used in American and Canadian English as the past tense and past participle of sneak, but it is considered non-standard, i.e., ol for dialectal and informal speech and writing. The standard past tense is sneaked. Snuck is relatively new, an Americanism introduced in the late 19th century. The opposite has occurred to the past form of slink. Slunk was long the standard form, but then slinkedappeared and is encroaching on slunk. Slinked is considered non-standard. Style guides at some of the biggest newspapers in Canada and the United States - including the Globe and Mail (1998) and the New York Times (1999) - ban snuck. But snuck may tiptoe into more formal writing over the years. ---In [email protected], <noozguru@...> wrote : Then don't watch "Zombeavers" even though it's on Netflix. It's a spoof of such movies. IMDB cumulative ratings gives "It Follows" 7 stars. You need a certain tolerance if the target audience is teenage. Currently it seems "Weinstein" is only selling the movie not renting it. That may change on the 14th when it goes to RB. Maybe you still have a rental store in your neighborhood. I've been catching up on the Swedish "Real Humans" (there are two seasons already) and not watching movies. One I did watch on Netflix was "Advantageous", a local production, which is sci-fi. Target audience is women though so it's a chick-flick sci-fi movie. I found it a little dull. Too much talk not enough show.

It Follows is a rude slap in the face comparatively. Turns out it is simply a "see girls in underwear running" flick.....AND THAT'S IT. It's got about twenty things that piss ya off: characters going into dark places alone, being too dumb to find practical help, and endlessly starting the fucking movie over and over again with the same exact scenario: waiting for IT, and then running. Just trying to save ya getting emotionally ripped off. Worse part of the film is that IT DOES DELIVER with a lot of good qualities....gets ya expecting a LOGICAL and REASONABLE film, cuz, you know, good money and minds were behind this film. But shit. ---In [email protected] mailto:[email protected], <noozguru@...> mailto:noozguru@... wrote : I'll have to see for myself. With horror and science fiction people often bring pre-concieved expectations. The film is distributed by Weinstein so might even have extras and an alternate ending. Similarly now that "Jupiter Ascending" is at RB I'll be checking it out for myself. On 07/03/2015 09:53 AM, Duveyoung wrote: Not worth the Redbox rental price.
