I think early Shyamalan was a lot better with his movies. The only one I liked of him lately was Split.
His first 3 movies were great but he never reached those heights again imo. Not expecting much from this one either.

For me his best is Unbreakable. Truly great movie.
The Sixth Sense, Signs and Split are good.
The Village and Glass were average.
The Happening, Lady in the Water and Old were just bad imo.
Haven't seen The Visit.

I think The Village or Signs were where I jumped off. For me, it’s a bit of predictability and pretentiousness. I did however enjoy Split, but haven’t seen Glass yet.

The Village had an interesting concept but the execution left a lot to be desired.

Maybe I'm too harsh on this one and should give it a rewatch.

Actually thinking about it the thing that really lowered my price point was studios doing shady things with extras like DVDs and digital copies. They started removing them from all but the first print run without changing the upc codes. I got burned a few times and basically changed my target price point to the level that assumes that stuff is missing.

Their original plan was probably to get people to buy releases earlier at higher prices but instead it just made me buy used more often at lower prices. Since their trick actually made the used copy the more complete copy

Loved Signs and Split, enjoyed Village. Old was a letdown for me.

Did anyone else like After Earth or am I the only one?

Own most of the ones I want already, but cool for those on the fence.

Star Trek TNG films in 4K are interesting. I didn't think those were big sellers to begin with, surprised they are doing them in 4K. Aren't most of the effects done at lower resolutions sort of like Star Trek TMP Director's Edition originally was?

Watched a werewolf horror film on Netflix last night called "Viking Wolf." It's a Norwegian film and takes obvious inspiration from American Werewolf in London and The Wolfman (2009). It was ok and a decent timewaster. It is in 4K SDR/5.1 on Netflix. I watched in Norwegian with English subtitles.

Wendell R. Breland · 02-07-2023, 06:30 PM

Watched The Invitation on BD via Netflix by mail. A different take on the vampire genre. Liked but not enough to re-watch.

Hey Donster glad to have you back, how are things in Texas have a Nephew in Allen? We are still here kicking around this subject. I see that you are mostly Streaming, what kind of setup do you have? Are you still going to buy Discs, because a decent 4K Player is costly? IMO this obsession for Quality of Disc is Subjective and very dependent on your equipment and setup!

Anything gif quality doesn’t come cheap. Film deserves the best.
