Took the kids to see Goosebumps last night. All I can say is it's a kid's movie, but by far not the worst I've seen. I was never saying "man I wish this would end". If it didn't have Jack Black in it, it would have been unwatchable. But as a rule, I hate kids' movies. At least it had a werewolf in it.

Just saw Jurrasic World. I rate it a solid mehven.

It's basically the same premise as the original film, but less interesting, with worse special effects.

Umm.... Jurassic World didn't have worse special effects. The dinosaurs look as good or better than they ever did. They would have to TRY to have worse effects. It's not possible.

The CG was less believable than the puppets or whatever they used for Jurassic Park.

I finally got to watching Jodorowsky's Dune. Fascinating story for sure, and I feel the movie does its best to give you an idea as to what thing thing would been like. Jodorowsky's passion is still evident today, 40 years after the fact, and even though it certainly wouldn't have been Dune, it's easy to be swept up in his vision. There's a bit with him where he really expresses his frustration over the movie not being made and it is absolutely powerful. But then the film goes on to explain what the pop culture landscape might have looked like if it had been made. A world without Star Wars, Alien or Blade Runner? That's practically the holy trinity to me, I'm not sure that's a world I'd want to live in.

The documentary certainly made a good argument about Jodorowsky's Dune storyboard influencing the scenes of many scifi movies that followed with those side-by-side comparisons.

Jodorowsky's Dune is the genesis of modern science fiction filmmaking. Whether it was made or not. He was channeling something in the aether.

Watched Bone Tomahawk...it was really quite good, I think most folks here that can stomach some grisly violence will enjoy it. It's very much a character-driven Western in no small part influenced by The Searchers with Kurt Russell in the lead role as sheriff of a small frontier town. Matthew Fox in an unexpectedly good role as a dandy with a shady past. Patrick Wilson as an actual cowboy. It has a stately, measured pace that is no hurry to get where it's going and it spends plenty of time on scenes with stylized dialogue to develop the characters.

However, it is totally a horror movie. Won't go into spoilers, but I think Tom Chick said it best that these four characters "descend" from a Western film into a horror film. There's not a whole lot of gruesome stuff, but when it hits, it hits HARD because it's reserved. It goes a little over the top, I think, but the impact is quite harsh. Some really well done terror sequences.

It's definitely indebted to some of the weirder, more fringe Eurowesterns (like Massacre Time or Four of the Apocalypse), but it's far better written and produced.

Also, the director somehow managed to wrangle Sid Haig and Sean Young into the same picture.

A little while ago, I watched The Deadlands on Netflix. It's pretty cool. It's kind of a revenge story set with Maori tribes. Definitely a bit different than your typical action movie.

Last week I saw Dear Zachary. Don't watch it.

Terminator Genisys was so awful they should have just called it Not Another Terminator Movie. Franchise is officially dead to me now.

it was playing for free on the airplane the other day and I chose to watch a House of Cards episode instead, along with the first 10 minutes of American Sniper.

And I crush on Emily Clarke as much as the next guy and everything, but I still can't bring myself to sit through that.
