Akin to the "Musical Picks" topic, I want to hear what your all time favourite movies/television shows are. It can be anything from action to drama to sports to romance (who watches that anyway though?). Don't be shy and don't be mean to other members, even if they really did enjoy Superbaby-Geniuses or whatever that piece of crap was called

 

I'll start off with a couple of my favs; I find most of the ones I put down are great films all together, but have shining endings.

 

Blood Diamond (Thriller/Drama): Leo DiCaprio picks up a sick south african accent in this eye-opening thriller/drama. Great music but if you're a Leo fan, you can probably already guess how it ends lol.

Friday Night Lights (Sports): I'm not a football guy, but the cinematography and story made this a refreshing change to the typical, predictable, sports movie. Plus, the instrumental music by Explosions in the Sky fits perfect (note: the trailer is crap, watch the film).

The Lord of The Rings Trilogy (Fantasy): If you are on a Lego forum where Lego LOTR products are frequently discussed, you probably already know how awesome the films are. If you don't, I'll leave it up to the mods to immediately revoke your membership to BrickPicker (jk).

 

And last I'll just end with my favourite TV show, which is probably going into its final season this year, The Mentalist (crime procedeural): this murder-a-episode series focuses on a former psychic who is now tracking the serial killer who murdered his family. The show can be light and funny, but when the serial killer ("red john") gets involved, it can get pretty unnerving. The series has spent 5 years tracking down murderers so feels a bit tired, but it is still my favourite. And, I'll post a trailer for the 3rd season finally:

Phew, if you got through all that... you don't get bored easily, do you? Now tell me your picks!

Ghostbusters Afterlife looks great

 

 

Anyone else watching CW’s superhero shows / Crisis on Infinite Earths?

Cameos are good fun, just wish we were graced with more than just some Comic Con exclusives for the show. Luckily a lot of the released DC sets gave us a good chunk of the figures.

I mean... I guess it's ghostbusters.

The acknowledgement of the first two films is a good sign with the "hasn't been a ghost sighting in 30 years" line which could also include the recently remastered video game that originally came out in 2009 seeing how its story took place in 1991 or two years after the second film. I do like the direction of following Egon Spengler's grandchildren and it was nice seeing good ol' Ecto-1 drive for a spin. Now aside from that, I'm not sure what exactly to take away with what little is actually given other than maybe the couple "easter eggs" between the Shandor mineshaft at 1:40 and the Terror Dog on top of the teacher's car hood at 1:58.

Slimer.  The kids used Ecto-1 to hunt down / shoot at Slimer through town   

I did not know Jennifer Connely is the new girlfriend?  I saw Rooster, Fanboy, & Phoenix.  Is Rooster related to Goose? They kinda lookalike

 

 

 

I'm blown away by the sheer amount of new(ish) movies being released for home viewing...

Frozen 2, Emma, RoS, Onward, Birds of Prey, Human Capital, The Hunt, The Way Back, The Invisible Man... and today... The Gentlemen & Bloodshot.

Woot!

I saw the first 5 minutes of the theatrical cut and never finished it.  This looks better:
