Your Recent Movie Picks

Watched Star Wars III the revenge of the sith a few days ago. Hadn't watched it for like 20 years, forgot how sad of a movie it is. Pretty epic seeing the rise of the galactic empire and how its plotted into existence. 

I would rate it 8/10

Watched this one Admiral 2015 last night, it's about a few real life conflicts in the 17th century that revolve around the Netherlands and how they impact the main character in the movie Michiel de Rutyer and a famous politican of that time Johan de Witt who gets murdered by an angry mob during times of economic uncertainty and parts of are eaten and taken as trophies when he was just a few years earlier very popular.

That one is a bit slower but since it teaches you about history as well I'll give it some leeway. I'll rate it 7.5/10

There are so many movies that a lot of recent movies are playing with tropes from recent movies and past movies.  This is a good time for movies.

Finally got around to watching Barbarian a horror film about an AirBnB rental. It was engaging as far as horror movies are concerned.

Might be a basic recommendation but you've seen Interstellar surely, that's the logical recommendation? Altered carbon is a more action oriented science fiction show but really good as well. 

Interstellar fa sho. And I really liked season 1 of Altered Carbon but not so much season 2. 

Just watched The Rip. Pretty good.

Last time I watched The Blacklist it wasn`t very good. How did that show turned out in the end？lol.

Also, you might like something like Wesworld: 

This show probably has the best season 1 of all shows -- ever. It's insanely good, give it a try.

Yeah, it kinda teetered off there a bit but it came back really good I thought. The ending was actually really good once you wrap your head around it. Better than I thought it would be. I love Raymond Reddington. One of my all-time favorite characters for some reason. Sophisticated, intelligent, mastermind, puppet master, always one step ahead. Probably says something about me. lol 

Thanks for the reco - I'll definitely check it out!

Raymond is a really well-made character from what I remember. It's been so long since I watch it. But I did enjoy the series, might watch it again and finish sometime.

Saw it, liked the photography and the acting is also very good. The big problem is the plot : no tension, no purpose, no storyline. However, seeing Guy Pearce made me remember Memento and I watched that again.

Something about its vibe is off. Hard to pinpoint what.

I liked what I saw but I couldn't watch any more of it because the overall aesthetic didn't gel with me so I know what you mean. I didn't like watching the cold, digital camerawork, even if it is in service of the story.
