Steelbook Indy

Is there a date Is there a date time box of posts which these will be hidden? I saw in years past that bunnies would be hidden in posts of March of that year to the present date.

I did. I saw what bunnies look like. I read the first hint. What I’m not sure about is how the images are incorporated to posts. I was hoping to see a screenshot example from last year’s hunt. I didn’t see that though. Maybe I missed it. Also - These can be in old, edited posts or only new?

I’ve been looking around, but being brand new, I have no idea what I’m looking for - and I’ve read the instructions.

Direct from FNAC:

BTW - a lot of good a 4/10 star review did me… I still bought this movie due to a fancy Steel. *sigh*

Matthew Vaughn does know action. He cut his chops as a director on Layer Cake and didn't get a chance again for a few years when he directed the marvelous Stardust. Since then, his resume includes Kick-Ass, X-men: First Class and the Kingsman movies. Vaughn blends contemporary humor and action. As I looked through Vaughn's resume prior to writing this article, I can honestly say that I've not seen a movie of his which I've disliked - which brings me to The King's Man. The movie came in at a dire 42% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. It did, however, receive an 80% for its audience score. I'm somewhere in between, but closer to the consensus of audience members. The movie starts with the Duke of Oxford's family on a mission for the Red Cross in Africa during the Second Boer War. Ralph Fiennes leads his family to a concentration camp with supplies, a message from the UK and the intent to observe to validate rumors he's hearing about it inhumane treatment of prisoners. His wife is adventurous and courageous, but is mortally wounded during a sniper attack (witnessed by the Duke's young son). This event forever changes the Duke's views, as he becomes a pacifist and dedicates his life to protecting his son. Fast forward 10 years. The Duke is asked to accompany Archduke Franz Ferdinand through Sarajevo - and history tell us that tragedy befalls under the Duke's watch again. The circumstances lead to World War I, and the Duke does everything to keep his son from enlisting - which ultimately includes letting him in on a secret - that Duke is one of the King's most trusted advisors and man of action. This takes Ralph on a mission to Russia and eventually across the world to other locations which serves as an origin story for The Kingsman organization. It's been years since Fiennes has had a lead in a big budget film. Sure, he was Voldemort, but when was the last time he served as the lead? That said, served as a quite capable lead who's vastly under used. I won't say that he carried this movie on his back, but he did shine in many scenes. For those of you who have been a fan of Fiennes for some time, this will be no surprise to you. For those of you who are new to watching Ralph, check out In Bruges and The Grand Budapest Hotel. In addition to Fiennes, the supporting cast of characters is fun. There are over the top performances by Rhys Ifans, Daniel Bruhl and Djimon Hounsou - all who are no strangers to comic book performances. The most fun of this movie is also part of its distraction. The history of early 20th century with comic book revisions is both fantastic and fantastic. The revisions are apparent and fun, but they leave the audience scratching their collective heads at times. The fight scenes with bullet time camera work and choreography add to the fun and distraction at the equal levels. For those who are familiar with the Kingsman universe, it's a must watch film. The origin story is a missing puzzle piece, but at the same time a contradiction to it's predecessors. There is a lot to like about this film, and I believe critics were too rough on it. The plot twist and climax didn't have the punch that the other Kingsman movies held, but again the ride was fun. After it was finished, I found that I'd enjoyed my time, but I probably wasn't going to give it another watch, nor was it going to stay with me. It's a solid 7/10 stars for its cast and tongue-in-cheek innuendo, over-the-top performances grounded by Ralph Fiennes' straight man was satisfying enough. Again, if you read and enjoyed this review or want to weigh in your own opinion on this movie, please drop a comment below. I look forward to reading your comments. Up Next: The Batman On Deck: West Side Story.

The Coen Brothers have tackled a modern Western, Homer, a detective/comedy mash-up and now, Joel has tackled Shakespeare. This is a fairly traditional adaptation of MacBeth. If you're not into Shakespeare, I'd not start with this. I'd consider Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing if you need your Denzel-Shakespeare partnership. If you're into Shakespeare, however, you'll adore this. To start, it's gorgeous to look at. The cinematography by Bruno Delbonnel is well deserved of its Oscar nomination. I've seen four of the five nominations (need to see West Side Story), and I can say with certainty that no movie better uses light and darkness than this one. Nightmare Alley is close, but the use of black and white with makes shadows pop and light standout. I did love the way this movie looks. For you media psychos out there, you'll definitely want this in HD. Furthermore, the camerawork is masterful. Denzel shines in this. My wife said that Denzel can deliver Shakespeare's lines without them sounding too Shakespearian. In other words, they're not as hard to comprehend and his body language speaks as loudly as his lines. The beauty of using Denzel is this role is to use an actor known for charismatic, heroic and honorable roles and use his reputation to juxtapose such character with ugliness, villainy and dishonor. At the open, MacBeth is considered one of Scotland's great generals who is bewitched by prophecy and his own ambition. Though the story isn't told with much alteration to it's stage adaptation (unlike The Coens' adaptation of The Odyssey), Joel made this movie his own. He uses his set masterfully. The claustrophobia of King Duncan's (eventually MacBeth's) keep intensifies both MacBeth and Lady MacBeth's maddening guilt and insanity. The use of camera and closed settings provides a cinematic experience while giving the viewers a theatrical feel without it feeling like a 1980s BBC production taken right off the stage of The Globe Theater. In addition, Joel Coen edits this very lengthy play to under two hours - an incredible feat to be sure. He does it without viewers feeling like we've missed something important. More so, his handling of witches, ghosts and supernatural elements so important to this play is done with a new style and fresh take. The movie plays like a cautionary tale told to scare honor into children and young people. It feels like a fable, because Shakespeare intended this tale to be just that. Moreover, the tale reflects the time in which we live with false-leaders attempting to take power and retain it using shortcuts, lies and treachery. This too is in line with Shakespeare's intentions of telling the Tragedy of MacBeth to expose the same things during his time. All-in-all, I would give this film 8/10 stars. I do enjoy Shakespeare, but I recognize that this film may not be for everyone. It can be difficult to follow due to the traditional use of language. The pacing also may be difficult for someone struggling with its language. It may take practice in viewing other plays by Shakespeare and/or reading MacBeth prior to viewing this. Furthermore, this isn't a "fun" movie. It is a downer in everyway imaginable, but (as I said before) it is a timely lesson that we can all take by watching it. I'd love to hear your comments if you've seen it. They inspire me to write more reviews. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Next up - The King's Man. On Deck - The Batman.

Very shocking results at the SAGs

Here is a gorgeous Steelbook which came in today - Blufans Shawshank Redemption:

Hey Rockin’ nominations came out yesterday. https://www.awardsdaily.com/2022/02/08/94th-annual-oscar-nominations/

I've seen the movie, so share with me via PM if you don't want to spoil it publicly what you found toned deaf. I'd be interested in your perspective. Sorkin is my second favorite screen writer (based on the strength of The West Wing), so I rarely get tired of his walk-and-talk style and clever dialogue. No doubt that Tommy Schlamme kept Sorkin in check, but I've also found that entertainment is genuinely a better place when Sorkin is involved regardless of whether he directs (which isn't his strength in comparison to his writing).

Hey Casiusco - welcome to the party. It is odd that Licorice Pizza didn't receive any other nominations; however, everything that I am reading about it (I've yet to see it) says that it's one of the best 3-5 movies of the year. I think in another year, we would have seen Alana Haim nominated for Best Actress. I really think that Stewart hung on (barely), and Colman gained momentum in the last 3-4 weeks. Haim just didn't have enough time to gain steam. I also read that Hoffman was strong enough for a nomination, but the Best Actor category is so packed this year (as is Best Actress). Some of the people left out of those two categories are: Leonardo DiCaprio, Peter Dinklage, Bradley Cooper, Nicolas Cage, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Hudson, Rachel Zegler and Tessa Thompson which were all positioned in the top 5 odds at being nominated at some point. I think that if we could look at who garnered the 6th and 7th most votes for many categories, we'd see why a movie like Licorice Pizza made the cut for director and picture while missing on acting categories (perhaps barely) among others.

I understand your feelings regarding the film. I, personally, liked it. However, I get it if you found it weak. That said, I felt that Simmons was the best performance in the film with Kidman behind him. I don't believe Bardem should have been nominated for this role. I am exceptionally excited for Plemons, and with his nomination (among others), I think that Power of the Dog has all but won Best Picture and Best Director. If Cumberbatch had more of a role in it, I say he's the front runner for Best Actor, but I think Smith is going to be tough to beat. I still believe Dunst to be the front runner for Best Supporting Actress - but the Golden Globes really threw a monkey wrench in the machinery. Though I picked Kidman to win for Being the Ricardos - I secretly think Kristen Stewart is going to win Best Actress.

It's nominated - so onto the uphill battle of defeating Encanto.
