Apologies for not being on the forums much over the last few months, kinda been all over the place lately. I have managed to watch a few films over that time though, so, in no particular order:
  • Loved Thor Ragnarock, easily not just the funniest Thor movie, but also the funniest Marvel movie (which is no mean feat considering how funny GotG was).
  • Watched Justice League, I enjoyed parts of it (mainly the fight scenes and Flash), but overall, just as crappy as we were all expecting it to be
    and OH, DEAR GOD, WHAT THE F*** HAPPENED TO HENRY CAVILLS LIP, THAT S*** IS THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES!!
  • Saw The Last Jedi, enjoyed it, it even managed to hit me in the feels a couple of times, but it did feel a little too long, and definitely dragged a bit, mostly during the casino scenes.
As for this year, there's only two films that are gonna be occupying my schedule so far: Black Panther and Infinity War. Anybody else looking forward to them?


I rarely watch movies as of late but i am definitely looking forward to this :cool:

I can’t wait to get a trailer. They have an interesting cast but I can’t tell if that’s a good or bad thing yet.

Cautiously optimistic. I mean, this is Hawkins we're talking about here.

I have a feeling this movie is gonna be awesome. After watching Alien Covenant i really need this movie to be awesome!. The whole deal of David creating the xenomorph is absolute BULL. I mean, it´s pretty much contradicting already long stablished facts. They might deliver some explanation in Alien: Awekening but as it stands right now is mess. I don´t know WTF was Ridley Scott thinking when he approved that to be honest.

In the mean time, i´m just :cool: waiting.... 2:07 mark... Legendary.

I really liked Alien Covenant actually. It's flawed but I think in terms of establishing the Alien lore even further, it did a great job. The androids were my favorite thing in Covenant.

The ending was the worst part about the movie for me. It all plays out so quickly and is very underwhelming. Alien somehow grows to its full size in a very short amount of time. Alien is first seen in the shower where it slaughters one couple. Hero and sidekick realize alien is on the ship. They lead alien to room then proceed to blow the alien out of the ship.


The original Predator is my favorite movie. From the music, cast, and one of the best creature designs ever created. It's amazing.

I'm probably one of few who really loves Predator 2. It has that awesome 90s feel and some pretty memorable action scenes with the predator. It also subtly established new information about the predator species without going too deep into it but rather leaving enough for fans to interpret. Predators, on the other hand, fell short as it failed to establish truly interesting and likeable characters while playing too close to the same story setup as the first film.

Even though I've always wanted a western style/setting for a Predator movie, I'm eager to see where Black takes this series. He may take it in a direction that will warrant more proper sequels to come.

Just the ending?, the whole movie plays out quick, in a bad way, in a very cliche way.

I liked Covenant´s visuals and designs. I liked the Neomorphs and the Xenos, however, i was more scared of David than the Xenos TBH xD

I didn´t liked how they treated Shaw´s character, at all. Insulting.

Not to mention that they´re now implying that an android created the Morphs when the Space Jokey inside the Derelict ship on LV426 has been fosilized for thousands of years with a chest buster hole....:eek:

I like the synthetics side of this universe but Scott seems to be a bit too much obsessed with them or maybe he´s just secrectly in love with Fassbender i don´t know :lol:

You have to remember that there is still a third film for the series to cover all the bases. But it does leave me wondering what and who will be involved in the third and final act. I hope we get to see more flashbacks with Shaw too.

The Neomorphs were very freaky even as babies. For the first time in a very long time I felt creeped out by the Xeno again. Even when you go back to Aliens I don't think the Xenos have been all that scary. Alien and Alien Covenant have both managed to instill some amount of fear of the creature itself- plus it was pretty awesome to see the creature on the big screen again after so much time has passed. I think its Ridley's concepts of the Xenos that make them more frightening than they have ever appeared. The idea that an alien laying all the eggs (though I like this concept too) isn't nearly has frightening as the thought that the eggs were once living beings who painfully morphed into those eggs.


Is it bad to say that I want an AVP movie to take place on another planet? I know the other two AVP films were crap but I think the general concept of Predators hunting Aliens is awesome and can be done in a fantastic way.

They better explain it, and in a nice coherent way.

The whole ¨Hive¨ concept was brough in by Cameron. I kinda like it but the ¨egg morphing¨ thingy was creepier and more mysterious. They kinda tried to merge both Alien and Aliens concepts toguether in Alien3. You know, when there´s no hive and the queen is dead or as good as dead, the queen will lay an ¨enhanced egg¨ or ¨eggs¨ that would spawn an enhanced face hugger. This enhanced facehugger would inplant an enhanced embryo in a host and an enhanced SOB will pop out to guarantee a future hive in the absence of a queen.

Yeah, at this point, specially for long time fans, the warriors from Aliens may not seem like a big deal, but those mofos where masterfully used with no CGI whatsoever in 1986 and they look pretty dam real even today. I personally prefer that over CGI any day.

Yea I'm really looking forward to Infinity War. So far all of the Marvel films have been much better than the DC films.

¨Pull out a chair kid¨ lmao


Funny thing about this scene, those 3 men playing mafiosos were all corrupt cops in real life, and all 3 ended up assasinated.

Edit: I was wrong sorry, the one sitting in the middle wasn´t killed, the others did.

I just saw The Shape of Water and I loved it.

I'm gonna have to check this one out, keep hearing good things and the trailer does look good.


Watched Cloverfield last night. It's been a while since I've seen this movie but it is a real classic monster flick and one of the best "found footage" flicks. Marlena reminds me of myself in many ways. lol

Currently watching Predator 2- dat subway scene though. This movie gets a lot of crap but neither the AVP films nor Predators were close to being as enjoyable or as iconic. Love it.

P2 is good, not like Aliens was to Alien but still good. Has a strong Robocop vibe at the beginning plus i love Bill Paxton, the only man that has been killed by the Alien, Predator and Terminator :) I was really upset he died last year.

Yes, Predators sucked. There´s a couple of scenes i like in AvP and i liked seeing the Predator´s homeworld in Requiem but yeah those 2 movies didn´t deliver.

I know... He was truly one of my favorite actors. Got a little teary eyed at one point watching him in P2 last night.

I just watched The Snowman, it was straight up trash. Holy sh!t, the story is such a mess that it has to be seen to be believed, though I wouldn't recommend it. Myself being the horror-thriller aficionado that I am, I didn't wanna believe it was as bad as everyone is saying going in, but alas, it was. How do you f*ck up a concept like this from what I've heard is actually a pretty good novel this bad?

I also got around to watching 500 Days of Summer. I'm not usually into rom-coms, but it was a cute, fun movie. It's never a bad thing when Zooey Deschanel looking so cute is just a bonus, loved the chemistry and story between her and JGL.

I loved loved loved the Shape of Water. I mean, I'm biased because it was filmed in my old stomping grounds but it was such a lovely movie. I'm actually really excited for the Oscars 'cuz I want it to win all the things. :D

And Three Billboards was really good too.

Just finished watching Netflix's Castlevania series. I gotta say when i heard about it i wasn't excited about seeing how awful movies and shows based on videogames were horrible. But after seeing the trailer and AVGN's review of it. i changed my mind and i love it
