Anybody see "Sleight" yet ?

 

[Master Zik]

I plan to.

 

[Ingenious Bastard]

Just finished watching it (Sleight)

Damn This had a lot of potential. There were a lot of should've/could've scenarios that would have made it better. I understand they weren't working with the biggest budget though.

Okay film, but missed the mark for me. It's a good Netflix movie at best. 5/8

Watched Moonlight last night. Movie lived up to the hype.

The acting was superb and I was blown away by the depth of the subject matter and how the story was told over essentially three acts.

Solid 7/8 for me.

watched gold the other day. 4/8.
mcconaughey was good for the most part. he borderline hams it up a little too much sometimes. other than that, i thought the last 3rd of the movie was not much of a payoff for watching the first 2/3s.

Newest flicks I've seen:

Victor Frankenstein - 3/8 - For me this was almost unwatchable.

The Girl with All the Gifts - 5.5/8 - Enjoyed it but the pay off was small. Expected a lot more.

The Lost City of Z - 4/8 - Way too long. Way too much narration. Idk what they were thinking... I haven't read the book.

Glad about that. Besides the newest Luther episodes, I can't remember recent projects he's done that I wanted to see.

Will watch Dark Tower trailer in a bit, been waiting on it for months now.

 

[rck3sactown]

 

[stuntman mike]

dark tower trailer looks interesting. i wonder if they're going to try and cram it all into one movie. that would really dilute the epic journey that was detailed in the book. they should make it a trilogy.

 

[CP1708]

Hell, yes.

Supposedly this is a continuation of the book series.

Did King sign off on this story? Looks like fake news and alternative facts

As Scott Wampler of BMD surmised back in May, and which EW has now confirmed thanks to their continuing coverage of the film, The Dark Tower will actually be a sort of sequel to the book series, but will also model the structure of the first book, “The Gunslinger.” That may sound a bit confusing – and it is – but the best explanation requires a lot of story spoilers. If you’d rather avoid those, then just know that the movie version starring Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, and Tom Taylor will continue the story of Roland Deschain from King’s novels without translating them to screen beat for beat. If you’d like to dig into the details a bit more, and find out which major characters won’t be showing up in the first movie, read on.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

First up, when King debuted a new teaser image for The Dark Tower back in May, Wampler quickly took to the interwebs to explain just what was going on. Basically, it showed an item (seen in Elba’s bag in this image) that Roland did not have throughout his quest in King’s book, but one that would have served him greatly in his pursuit. In the movie version, however, Roland does have this “quest item,” you might call it, suggesting that things will be very different going forward.

Here’s King’s teaser from May, which is fairly innocuous as far as general audiences are concerned, but was a real eye-grabber to fans of the books:

I wish my lady K. Ritter would have taken a few "karate" classes between Season 1 and now. 

I think she has a big opportunity here and not learning to fight is, silly.

Like, folks want to smash and cast Carrie-Anne, Beckinsale, Charlize, Milla, Scarlett, Ivana Milicevic because they are cute, but also because they are dope AF in their fight scenes, and that **** is madd hott.

hmmm so did he grow his fingers back after the crabs cut em off? i love how they show him loading his revolvers because that was a pretty cool detail that i remember from the books.
