Second! I know King was constrained by the original being on TV, but I think they did a really good job with the story in this "remake".

"The Lives of Others" is in German, but a great story about the Stasi during the Cold War.
"Clue" is funny and the dialogue gets more clever each time you watch it.

"The Wave" Norwegian Disaster flick on Netflix with subtitles, but very well done, tragic, but with an interesting sidenotes of collapsing cliffs in the fjords being monitored for sudden landslides and tsunamis.

"Ghost in the Shell".

Scarlett Johansson plays an anime, RealDoll assassin, whose brain was harvested by evil forces and placed in a thinking robot. Babealicious and MassKillicous in the Asian style. Excellent paranoid fantasy as her erased memories return of her murder and her stolen brain.

Fake nekkid plastic scenes while she goes about her brutal tasks, but OK for what they are. Great cigi, scenery, and cinematography, with lots of robot-fu.

Anybody mention "Ex Machina"?

Also a lot of nekkid female robot fu in a thriller with several twists. Flagrant bush scenes, but they are on robots, so it is OK!

"The Harvest". Good cast. A little girl whose parents have died in a tragic auto accident moves in with her grandparents and finds a boy in a neighboring home who is housebound and sick. She crawls into the window and aggressively befriends him to the chagrin of his seemingly doting parents.

As usual, nothing is as it seems. Nice thriller.

Worth it for some of the best raging, psychotic bitch fu since Kathy Bates in "Misery" and Peter Fonda, who has had his umpteenth shiny facelift and wears his sagging face flesh tied back in a Japanese war knot on the back of his head.

"Doctor Strange" again? Franchise fu. Good popcorn flick. However, Benedict Cumberbatch's next role needs to be a re-make of Forrest Gump, as he is getting a bit tiresome playing prodigies and geniuses.

Movies are real & for critical thinkers.

Indeedy, they provoke more critical thought than pseudo self righteous political none-sense.

Treat yourself to Sicario (2015)

I was a movie theater usher part time in high school in the 60's if you can believe....after awhile...I knew all the lines is the script. So it became harder to be impressed with new movies as I would know whats coming next I guess. Today the movies seem to skip a lot of the original scripts to save time and money I guess...but that destroys the movie for me cause I KNOW they skipped stuff. I get annoyed by the missing stuff...sometimes re-watch it figure out what the hell they skipped. Plus...the EXCESSIVE special effects really suck after awhile...been there...done that. Good luck!

Nobody's recommended "The Human Centipede?" Haven't watched it, but some coworkers said it was the sickest shit on Netflix!

Yeah, you've got to watch it. That and Centipede-2.

I'm not much for movies these days... internet is more entertaining.
