Back from a late night showing of Handling the Undead.
Good film if you like new and unusual takes on zombie epidemics. (I do.)
Based on another novel by the writer of Let the Right One In.
Very intimate, very slow. Very depressing.

I finally sat through the whole movie recently (thank you criterion channel). What if it’s the best movie ever made?

I am in the theater for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

I had zero idea another one of these was in the works, much less that it was out today.

That's a shame, because it was very good.

 

[livinsmall]

The trilogy (new one) is very, very, very good. Looking forward to the new one.

That's a shame, because it was very good.

I’ll probably go see it next weekend since I still have to watch War.

Rise and Dawn are both bangers. Our most consistent franchise?

It's worth considering, honestly. Every entry is at the very least watchable for me. The Caesar trilogy is a modern masterpiece, but the original series doesn't deserve to be slept on either. Beneath is insane and Battle doesn't quite have the budget to fully realize its ideas, but Escape and Conquest are both fantastic. The Tim Burton remake is unfortunately pretty dire, but the Rick Baker make-up effects are legitimately great and Tim Roth & Paul Giamatti are clearly having a lot of fun, so even it isn't completely devoid of entertainment value.

I’ve only seen the one with James Franco. Is Caesar the only recurring character? Do the next 3 basically just follow his story (attempted to read synopses but trying to avoid spoilers)

 

[Hemotep]

This was decent.

Just the next two. This new one, while in the same timeline, is the beginning of its own trilogy (I think).

I like Rise a lot but Dawn absolutely rips, and is probably what got Matt Reeves The Batman.

Is this Denzel’s John Wick?

Been showing these to my girlfriend and they really are great. Maurice is the king

Infested is quite the entertaining little creepy crawly ride.
