Shepard Wong Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 12 minutes ago, mikemack8 said: Forrest Gump was released in July of '94, and Jurassic Park was released in '93 The other two were released in October of '94 Correct, it was timing. Pulp Fiction released that month but not until the middle of October. If it had been out more than two weeks, it probably would have crushed them both. Edit: Plus Pulp Fiction was on a surprisingly low number of screens: only 1494. By comparison, the Specialist was on 2522 and The River Wild was on 2153. FWIW, I projected all of them. That meme could really be expanded to be even more impressive. Also on screen that month were Natural Born Killers, Quiz Show, True Lies, Ed Wood, and Stargate.

NOTW Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire was meh. Kind of a mess. Tried to do too much, too many things made no sense. The "frozen" NY portion is very brief, there is no empire it's like 10 minutes of screen time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawkins4prez Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 American Fiction, terrific satire that manages to stay light and tender. Roadhouse, goofy oddball action flick but somehow its engaging and unique. Watched them back to back, they made a really good tandem double feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawkins4prez Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Zone of Interest, a masterpiece, and finally I can say I definitely saw THE movie from 2023 Oscar's pack that deserved to win. A horror movie, with monsters, visually and sonically akin to There Will be Blood. my final rankings of the group: Zone of Interest Barbie Poor Things/Book of Clarence (tie) American Fiction Oppenheimer Napoleon Flower Moon Anatomy of a Fall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent23 Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Saw an IMAX preview of Civil War tonight. Very unique compared to any other films I can think of, and used score and tension very well to set or shape the mood. Our guy meth Damon continues to knock out of the park as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure how I feel about it. I wish I could stop thinking about it. I mean, I see the brilliance in it but it’s definitely not something I feel great about. That’s probably the point. It’s obviously not a monster movie in the traditional sense but it’s not unreasonable to call it a monster movie anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
