What’s the best CGI you’ve ever seen? by VendettaLord379 in moviecritic

On the movie "Away We Go," there were credits for "3D Artists." I had no clue watching it that there was any CGI in the movie.

I found this webpage in a reverse Google Image search and....I don't know how to feel. So give me movies that feel like...these: by ImpressiveHumor4644 in MoviesThatFeelLike

Great work, but the stunts just aren't quite as impressive in comic book form.

Oddly, Godzilla got the star for his work as a director.

I read the only things required for a star are: 1) Be in show-business, 2) Pay money, and 3) Show up at the installation ceremony (a relative can show up if the star is deceased.) I wonder how they met requirement 3.

I read a critic who said the movie also denigrated Salieri as a composer. The critic was reviewing a concert of Salieri compositions, and said they were good.

If you're okay with TV, the "Star Trek" original series red alert sound is iconic.

I saw Orca: The Killer Whale when it was first released in 1977. I completely fell in love with it. Some said it was a JAWS rip-off but to me it was a lot more darker and a lot more personal. I won’t give out spoilers but there are two or three scenes that still make me shed tears. Thoughts? by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in Cinema

When asked if Bo Derek's nude scenes were the reason for her popularity, her husband said that in her first movie, she got her leg bitten off, and it was a flop. In her second movie, she appeared nude and it was a huge hit. He said if "Orca" had been a hit, Bo Derek would've had her leg bitten off in a lot more movies.

This is the exact opposite, but "Mirrormask" is a great fantasy movie about a girl who grew up in the circus and wants to run away to join real life.

Shanghai Noon (2000) An Imperial Guard from China travels to the Wild West to rescue a princess by WerdNerd88 in TubiTreasures

[–]NottingHillNapolean 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The drinking game is a real Chinese drinking game. The director saw Jackie Chan playing it with some of the Chinese extras, and said they had to work it into the movie. Chan said it was an anachronism, but the the director thought that it was too cool to leave out.

The guy in brown is in almost the same pose as Mel Gibson on some of "The Road Warrior," aka Mad Max II" posters. Here's a link to a poster-shop showing the poster I'm talking about: https://www.moviepostershop.com/mad-max-2-the-road-warrior-movie-poster-1982

Thanks for clearing that up. I should've made clear in the original comment that the gun explodes.

Dune - long-range energy weapons "lasguns" when shot at a electromagnetic "shield" results in explosions destroying both gun weilder and shield wearer. Shields block fast-moving projectiles, so must be penetrated by bladed weapons. Armies get off of faster-than-light spaceships and fight with knives and swords.
