Movies! The movie thread

Watched "We Have a Ghost" last night.

It's not high brow cinema or anything, but definitely a fun watch with a few heartfelt moments.

This is what I always felt about The Walking Dead. That Rick was some allegory for "leading his people to the promised land." Because how else does someone in a coma "rise from the dead" after days/weeks with no food, water, or medical attention.

But I stopped watching at the beginning of Season 7, I think? When the bashed people's brains in the with barbed wire covered bat. Not that I have a problem with gratuitous violence in movies or TV shows, but the show had already become pretty repetitive and it was obvious that was done just for the shock factor.

Michael Caine is excellent in this fact based film.

The original from 1984 was very creepy. Who here remembers?
We'll see how this one stacks up...

I liked the first one. Thought the sequels sucked.

Very good movie. Saw it in the theater when I was 18. Yul Brynner kicks ass.

Love those two together in movies but trying to turn a basic story into a drama. Meh.

I think Signs was his last one where you can actually say was good.

He got big from Unbreakable and Sixth Sense, then Signs was strong too, then drop off with Lady in the Water and the Village, and perhaps his worst the Happening.

I think this is a pretty good summary of M. Night movies, though I did like "Split" and "Old" too.

Ditto, although I liked The Village a lot more than others, perhaps it was during the Bush Jr era and ppl didn't like getting the wool pulled over their eyes.

Thanks, yeah I like all his stuff, even the Happening, but if I am going to be an honest critic I like to tell the truth on what I could actually recommend to a friend.

I too liked Split and Old was actually really unique just no one watched it.
