Back to Hogwarts for

 

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

 

The weakest installment in the series but still excellent

 

The Ministry of Magic decides to deny the dark lord's return and when Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) stops the teaching of actual magic Harry, Ron and Hermione rebel and form "Dumbledore's Army"

 

Harry begins having visions involving Voldemort and this leads to an epic confrontation between the Death Eaters and the good guys

 

of note as well the new character Luna Lovegood (played by Evanna Lynch)

 

of note as well a key point about the Ministry's cover up was omitted (the fact that the Minister had a Dementor suck out Barty Crouch Jr's soul so he couldn't confirm the dark one's return), apparently a choice on the filmaker's part

 

My 2nd favorite Harry Potter movie after Azkaban movie is the Half Blood Prince which is after the Order of the Phoenix. Enjoy it and brace yourself for "incidents"!

Yeah, I just watched the original Terminator and noticed the massive difference in the character. Reese from T1 was bar-coded and made to work in a death camp for humans until he was freed by John Connor. His picture of Sarah was burned during a Terminator infiltrator attack. He and the other resistance fighters were malnourished and lived in squalor in ruins. And once he time-travelled to the past, he was constantly covered in a sheen of sweat and having PTSD flashbacks of near death experiences.

Plus, he was intense. "He'll find her. That's what he does! THAT'S ALL HE DOES!"

 

Someone missed that Reese quote from T1 when they wrote TG. Or misread it. "He will find her for no apparent logical reason. He will toss her aside. Again and again. That is all he does!!!" is what it looks like in TS and TG. The Throwminator nickname is an apt one.

 

He also made it clear that Time Travel only went one way. You go back in time, and that's that. One way ticket. Now they can go forward in time too.

 

It is also clear that weapons that are around in 1984 can't harm the Terminator one bit. We even see it all through the first two movies. In the new one it only takes a shot from a high-powered sniper rifle to take it out.

It was. Felt like a horror\sci-fi movie, really. The future it portrayed was nothing short of a true nightmare. And the cold calculating manner of which Skynet\Terminators dealt with humans, gave me chills.

I didn't know it had a sex scene... now I have to "terminate" it after I watch it!

 

Really I can't just give/lend movies with "scenes" to my siblings, cousins or friends. It will be problematic or awkward!

Yeah, that genuinely scared me when I was a kid.

 

Terminator Salvation didn't really capture that future well.

 

Funny that the timeline is a bit unbelievable now though (2029).

I'd love a well done war story set in the Terminator apocalypse, featuring the rise of a certain John Connor. But no, they keep making the original film with different muppets. I have the same problem with the Predator films, same film, different setting, boring.

The fighting scenes were horrible, the protagonists lacked physical endurance and the plot wasted too much time on emotions instead of taking action.
 
9/10

Inside Out was great! And so was the Lava short before it. Only Pixar would squeeze emotion out of a volcano.

The Original Terminator was a masterpiece. The End


Warning! Spoiler

From a different perspective, the Terminator is not one of my following and I found it acceptable, but I have not paid a lot of attention to the franchise. On the other hand my wife has seen them all (a couple of times) and there were several scenes in this one where it was clear she had found conflict. My biggest observation was the lack of chemistry between Sarah and Reese (partly because of the scripting and partly because of the time allowance for such a relationship). I liked the intrigue of the second terminator sent back in time after Kyle had been sent back to protect Sarah at a young age, changing everything all over again. But ultimately, what we had both anticipated and did not happen was looking into Sarah’s future where she had a female child instead of John. (I think that would have meant that instead of Jason Clarke showing up it would have been Mila Jovovich) Just as an observation, I have always found John Connor to be a little twerpish, but I would never say that out loud.

The first three Terminator movies are R rated monster thriller movies. The first Terminator movie clearly had a much more limited budget so they spent a lot more time building up characters.

Genisys is a PG-13 action summer blockbuster... and it shows. Terminators aren't quite the unstoppable monsters they once were. T3 said it best:

Probably applies to the movie industry too :P

I don't think there's a point comparing Genisys against the previous Terminators because they are such different beasts.

Terminator 4 was kind of uncool, Terminator 3 was cool but that's it, Terminator 2 was the masterpiece I still remember, I don't remember Terminator 1 at all. I think I may dislike T:G based on the previous line.

 

And WTH Genisys means? Is it the mixture of genetic and system? Like Cyborgs are made of both Flesh and Computers?

I think i watched The Century of The Self, highly recommended. A documentary series about how psychoanalysists effected world. Especially the human mind to make them buy stuff that they don't actually need or vote for someone etc.

 

If that doesn't count as a "movie" then it should be Alien(1979), feeling too late for the party.

Im watching Prometheus right now, and i just got to the part where the female scientist lady tells a member of the crews Security Personnel that "This is a science expedition, no weapons." and he blows her off. I bring this up because I know i've seen it numerous times before in the reverse and as presented, but people generally don't take kindly to unannounced guest dropping in on them and invading their homes, we didn't like it when the Aliens from War of the Worlds did it, we didn't like it Battle for Los Angeles  did it, we didn't like it when Independence Day did it, was it aliens in Battleship cause i never watched it, but I assume it was. I'm not advocating going in guns blazing when visiting unannounced onto alien homeworlds, but I like the idea of being prepared just in case. Anyone else agree?

My mother tells me the stage play was far superior, but she actually enjoyed this presentation as well. The film came out in 1996 staring Madonna, Antonio Banderas (always prettier than the parts he plays), Jonathan Pryce. The music Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics Tim Rice.



I thoroughly enjoyed this. 8/10

"Magnum Force"

 

Clint Eastwood's second go-round as Dirty Harry has Inspector Calahan dealing with rogue cops killing unconvicted felons

 

The rookie cops are played by Robert Urich, Tim Matheson and David Soul, with Hal Holbrook on hand as Harry's by-the-book Lieutenant

 

an excellent script by John Milius and Michael Cimino, ably directed by Ted Post

John Muilius 

 

Unsung hero of the big 70s writer/directors. I wish he was healthy enough to direct the supposed Conan sequel (just to tie this in with the Terminator discussion above). It'd be cool to see a comeback, like George Miller with Mad Max.

 

 

 

Last film:: Out of the Furnace (Christian Bale). Story kind of wandered everywhere, but it's a realistic portrait of a good guy who has lost pretty much everything...   I think I know people like him.
