Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by lester1/2jr - October 14, 2025, 06:48:39 PMM. 10rda - I guess I was thinking more of the original Pirahna or something. Razortooth was like the very last part of an animal attacks movie as the whole movie.
Winter Hunt (2007) - Germany has lots of movies about coming to terms with the whole Nazi thing. I'm not sure if it's something they actually think about a lot, or if it's just the most obvious idea for a for-export "foreign film". Either way, I have to admit I don't usually watch them. It seems like a depressing and guilt laden topic, not how I would tend to want to spend my leisure hours. This was a decent one, though.
A young woman pretends to have been in a car accident so she can get into the home of a recently exonerated former Nazi guard guy. Over the course of the evening, various things about the Third Reich come to the surface. Was the guy actually guilty after all? or are Germans simply obsessed with tracking down people who served in WW2 and pinning the crimes of Hitler on them?
It's like a short story in movie form and having it be relatively short (78 minutes) was the right approach. As always, if I can tell where a movie is going to go (I'm terrible at this) it most likely means they should have tried a little harder in that respect, but it's complex and solid enough.
4.25 /5 some would probably grade it higher

I saw the announcement on his Instagram last night, very sad indeed. He was a huge and prolific talent who drew some of the most recognizable movie art in history.

Last post by M.10rda - October 14, 2025, 03:39:54 PMMEGAN 2.0 (2025):
I thought the original was fairly successful in blending horror, sci-fi, melodrama, and comedy; a lot of other folks seemed to like it, too. So they made a sequel, doubling or quadrupling down on the comedy, more or less smothering any legitimate pathos, and giving Horror its walking papers in favor of unabashed Action. The original's bloodshed is now absent (presumably to secure a PG-13) even though characters are getting impaled onscreen and decapitated & dismembered offscreen. The original's entire surviving human cast is back and appear to have been provided with permanent plot armor.
(Maybe the execprod James Wan is hoping for another CONJURING or FAST/FURIOUS franchise.) And the titular killer android is back, now (more or less) on the side of the angels in a conflict against a newer nefarious female model... rendering this whole affair more than a bit like a distaff T2:JD.
Perhaps I should feel offended but, ehh, 2.0 is one of those passable movies too pleasant and competent to get offended over. The best line/laugh comes within the first 5 minutes (regarding the wisdom of supplying adolescents with smart phones) but I was kept complacent for most of the running time with a steady supply of smirks and small chuckles. I have nothing more complimentary to say about MEGAN 2.0, but it ain't bad........
.......Words I may regret in 2035 after 5-7 more MEGAN sequels........
3/5
It's also about 20 minutes too long. (So are the CONJURINGs and so probably are the F/F movies, only one of which I've had the patience to watch.)

Half the fun of these things is the slice of life aspect and pointless sub plots.
Sir, I vociferously object, and motion to introduce into evidence NIGHT OF THE GRIZZLY (recently reviewed in the Bad Movies section)!
