The Movie Thread - General Discussion Forum

Any movie lovers out there? I don't know about you guys but besides video games one of my biggest down time things to do is watch movies. Especially with the fact that the PS4 has Netflix, Crackle, and plays DVDs/Blu rays. I figure this could be a great idea for a thread where we can share a discussion on movies. What we have seen recently what we are looking forward to, what we thought of the movie etc. So I will start. I recently watched Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters on Netflix stream and I have to say I did enjoy it. It did seem kinda short but they did leave the ending open for another one. Still if you like action, horror, steampunk type of stuff you will like this one I think. So anyone else see anything lately?

@GirlVersusGame From Dusk Till Dawn I saw at the cinema (several times), but I couldn't remember if I pirated Full Tilt Boogie or if it was included on one of my DVDs (I think I have both a bare-bones release and a special edition - where I think it may have been included - but all my DVDs are in storage right now, so I'm not sure which one(s) I have. I do know I have the trilogy box set, though).
I didn't care much for FDTD2 and I only saw it once. Only saw "Hangman's Daughter" once, as well, but that one I liked a bit better. Taken together with the original, they are but pale shadows, of course.
Spy Kids was very charming, I thought, and it was fun seeing Danny Trejo play against type. I've not seen any of the sequels.
Alita: Battle Angel got a bad rap, in my opinion. Love that movie to bits. It's not perfect, but I really enjoy it. Still waiting on that sequel that they keep teasing every once in a while.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the music. Tito & The Tarantulas FTW!

@FuriousMachine Oh I pirated the movie and saw the documentary on that DVD set. It must have been great in the cinema, especially if you didn't know what you were in for the first time. I didn't and instantly watched it again. Weapons was the same and Hereditary, I pressed play right away to see what I'd missed the first time. I hope storage is keeping your things well. I slowed down on collecting again, it sort of comes and goes and I haven't taken to 4K thankfully or it would be DVDs all over again. The second From Dusk till Dawn also had Tuco from Breaking Bad. Have you ever seen the movie about Jimmy Santiago Baca called Blood in Blood Out? It's the same director as Devil's Advocate and Ray (Ray Charles)

It's sort of like a Chicano Boys in The Hood. It's one of Tuco's earlier roles and is important for understanding the L.A. gang culture of the early 90's. 187 is quite good too. It stars Samuel L. Jackson as a substitute teacher, very Dangerous Minds but with a sprinkle more intelligence. Also set in L.A.

I'll give Alita: Battle Angel a watch, you sold me on it.

These violent delights have violent ends & in their triumph die, like fire & powder Which, as they kiss, consume.
