Jurassic World - The Fallen Kingdom (started two weeks earlier here than in NA).

Spoiler Free Review:
I went in with expecting family friendly entertainment with some dinosaurs and als read the bad reviews.
And I was suprised how good it was ... until 30 minutes into the movie where it suddenly became one of the most boring movies I ever sat through. If I hadn't been there with friends I had left the cinema.
So, if you plan to see it you might want to ask if you can only pay a third as you will leave after a third anyways.

That's too bad. Big fan of Chris Pratt lately and I enjoyed the first one.

Funny thing is that I read some mediocre to bad reviews and during the first half I thought that this is great fun and wondered where the bad reviews came from.

But then ... maybe you enjoy the second half too.

I saw the movie yesterday and I somewhat agree.
First half is actually really nice, probably the best the series has been since the Original JP.
The pacing is strong, the scenes are beautifully shot, there are a few nice nods to the first movie etc.

The second half is a completely different film, and while I wasn't bored it wasn't quite as strong as the first half.

I wish the movie would have moved away from the mansion faster and get to dino's rampaging on the main land.
Instead, the entire second half takes place within the mansion with only a small montage at the very end. So that might disappoint a lot of people

After catching up over the last couple months on all the Marvel movies right from the beginning, we all went out and watched Avengers Infinity War on Tue for my son's 10th birthday. Great movie. I'm just sad that Bucky didn't play more of a part after building him up so much. Also was expecting them all to fight together, but I guess it makes sense having two separate battles in different locations. It's incredibly well balanced for the amount of characters featured. Not perfect. There are some small contrivances, but pretty darn good. I doubt it could have actually been any better.

The blob (1988)

I just watched The Death Cure tonight. I loved Maze Runner but I was SO disappointed with the direction the story took with Scorch Trials. Just another post-apocalyptic zombie/infected story. However, I watched it again recently and actually grew to really admire how the story was told rather than the setting and atmosphere. And the characters are great too. Spotted some timeless archetypes in there and it all made sense to me suddenly. In some ways I think it's a better movie than Maze Runner. Death Cure follows suit and ups the drama tenfold. Everything that happened was just fantastically done. I just don't like the setting or the synopsis lol. Maze Runner is my favourite for its setting and mystery and strangeness. I just don't like where it led. But each story fundamentally gets better and better and there's no denying that and it was translated extremely well on screen in my opinion. Well done, Wes Ball.

I watched the death cure on the theater before, I really loved it.

The humiliating defeat of the German national team vs South Korea in the current World Championship. Guess it's really a bad idea to go for another title right after the previous one...

It was such a joy to watch (yes, I am German but I even had hoped they would have been out after the match against Sweden).

[NightFright]

Well, it was probably better to leave the tournament after the group phase rather than continue to the round of 16 just to get totally raped by Brazil. It's not fun to see history repeat itself with reversed roles, so I guess Germans should be kinda relieved.

To sum it up, Hand Banana would have described the match like this:

My older brother was shocked. Yet, Fußball is big in Germany, there is lot's a hope in future. For now, maybe Mexico? Just to see a new country winning the cup

Yesterday: "It" (2017). Absolutely worth it. "The Goonies" meets horror.

I missed that movie because after its first run in the high priced theatres it disappeared without ever playing at the budget theatre.

[MusicallyInspired]

Too bad. It's quite good.

I second that. I flushed it first because of the critics, but they were wrong.

[MusicallyInspired]

I think the Maze Runner movies are fascinating. Each one excels in a different area. The first one was just incredible for atmosphere and setting. The mystery and the strangeness was a very effective intrigue device. The second one portrayed archetypes and symbolism very well. Setting and atmosphere didn't matter to me in that one. The third one excelled at drama, individual, and interpersonal character development. Oh, and action. I wonder if that was on purpose? For the books?
