It’s not the Big Adventure, which is what we wanted. Tense, compelling, and John Goodman’s performance terrifying. Is well made and clever, but I just didn’t connect with this story. While the trailer seemed promising as a haunting and terrifying experience, I wasn’t scared at all and mostly bored. Has a cool premise where the main character’s ex-girlfriend comes back from the dead through his bed to haunt his new relationship, but I didn’t find the execution all that interesting. But instead, he discovered just how hopeless and difficult the problem actually is. While the animation is incredible, I just didn’t enjoy this character and his selfish story.Īn amazing local documentary where the director actually forced himself into homelessness for 30 days to prove how easily a little initiative and hard work could bring him out of it. I used this to ignore the awful election night results. I wish James Marshall could be our new President.

Two of my favorite Star Trek movies re-released in the same year? Must be the 50th anniversary or something. Saw this in a double feature with The Neon Demon, which makes for a stylish double feature. While it was cool to watch in the Paramount Theater, the sound wasn’t the best and it didn’t feel like the event it was envisioned to be.Īwesome seeing this again but with a live bass battle included!Īfter a long time hoping someone would show this in theaters again, the Alamo answered my prayers with a craft dinner tailored to the classic banquet between the Federation and the Klingons. Initially, I thought they were presenting the un-special editions, but the week before, they clarified it was in fact the Special Editions.

And I got a free ticket for wearing my cowl! The first throwback screening at the drive-in and I guess you had to have grown up with it to enjoy it.Ĭlassic. Still a good crowd movie, but the screening had Greg Sestero doing a live-read of the original script. Glad to cross this off my bucket list, despite the comedy commentary that came with the show. While the effects are dated, a lot of it feels like it exists on a soundstage, it’s still fun and two of the lost buys were on hand for a Q&A. To be fair, I was really tired for this show. My first time watching this one, and I didn’t get what’s so special about it. Doesn’t matter because it’s still great.Ī delicious cajun craft dinner came with this one.

Glad I got to see it in a theater again.Īside from the missing narration, I can’t tell what’s different. I guess I was expecting Black Dynamite without the satire, and got a forgettable crime drama. The Esquire was freezing that night.Īlready great, even better under the stars at Red Rocks with a crowd of thousands cheering all the best moments.īowie and Sarandon… in vampire movie? I think? Again, I was mostly bored and found it hard to follow. Can’t we just appreciate that we get to enjoy movies at all? But I digress… overall, I found that making my Filmsplosion list was more difficult this year with plenty of worthy entertainment to go around. There are genocides happening in the world yet some people are ready to go to war over their disappointment over a Ghostbusters movie. The irrational fervor over Ghostbusters, Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, and to some extent, Star Trek Beyond really turned me off to film culture. And in a year marred by overwhelming cultural divisiveness, we got 3 major releases that amplified how much people forget that their opinions of art are not facts. I attended a lot of special events, specialty programming at the Alamo, and limited engagements elsewhere.

For me, 2016 will be remembered for specialty film events and controversy.
