October 22, 20223 yr Natural Born Killers First time seeing it and this was terrible for my tastes. I get what the movie was and their message but I had to force myself to finish it. Not my cup of tea at all.
October 23, 20223 yr "Man on Fire," for like the 1000th time. (I've probably posted in the thread.) With respect to Keanu Reeves, John Creasy would kick the shit out of Baba Yaga. John Wick is vastly superior with a weapon, but Creasy has the kinda savagely you can't beat. When he flips that switch, game over.
October 26, 20223 yr Caught the Creature With The Atom Brain last night. Terrible movie but I am a sucker for those old black and white Sci-Fi movies. Also a great song by Roky Erickson.
October 27, 20223 yr Caught the tail end of Dracula Has Risen From The Grave, there was a nearby theater that would show these types of movies for midnight showings when I was growing up. Fun times.
October 28, 20223 yr Watched Barbarian on HBO Max this evening. Not what I was expecting based on the description but it was a fun little thriller.
October 28, 20223 yr "Eye in the Sky." Deals with the morality of a drone strike on a terrorist/not terrorist. If you like the kinda ensemble performances in "Conspiracy" and "Margin Call," you'll like this. Hellen Mirren (kinda miscast, and keeps her clothes on. But still does great.) Aaron Paul and Alan Rickman.

October 29, 20223 yr I don't know why I decided to watch this. It's 100 years old this year. The first silent movie I've ever seen and the OG vampire movie. I made my wife watch it. I told her we would give it 15 minutes and if we didn't like it we would turn it off. Ended up enjoying it. Only 80 minutes long.
October 30, 20223 yr 6 days. About the hostage situation at the Iranian embassy in London 1980. I enjoyed it.
October 30, 20223 yr The movie is pretty basic, but both Eddie and Jessica are such fantastic actors that they make up for it.
October 30, 20223 yr We watched Good Nurse yesterday and thought it rally good. I googled Amy and Charlie and the real story is so horrifying. Hospitals kept hiring him without doing a background check. They think he might have killed 400. The real Amy looks a lot like Jessica chastain who does not get nekkid in this.
October 30, 20223 yr Mrs and I had a date night at the movies. Took in Ticket to Paradise. And you know what, laughed our asses off the whole time. Completely predictable and formulaic, but sometimes that’s just what you need. Clooney and Roberts deliver. "Man on Fire," for like the 1000th time. (I've probably posted in the thread.) With respect to Keanu Reeves, John Creasy would kick the shit out of Baba Yaga. John Wick is vastly superior with a weapon, but Creasy has the kinda savagely you can't beat. When he flips that switch, game over.Need to revisit this one. Been a while.
October 30, 20223 yr Wall Street. Michael Douglas owns the role, and Charlie Sheen does a good job with what he's asked to do. And what he's asked to do is say, "How much is enough, Mr. Gekko?!" and similar.

When folks have election/inflation/nuclear war/Covid fatigue, they don’t want everything entertaining politicized or carbon impact measured or CRT’d. I want to watch movies shows and sports with none of that. My wife wants to go see this so I’ll take her and get her some dinner and drinks. She’ll be so relieved at not hearing a political ad I’ll get laid.

November 2, 20223 yr Went to the premiere of Sam & Kate last week at Austin Film Festival. Little brother worked on it and his college buddy was a producer. Sat right in front of the cast which was kind of cool, and got to meet a few. Holiday rom-com. Entertaining but not exactly groundbreaking stuff. Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek both had good performances. Gosh I can’t believe he is in his 80’s. Edited November 2, 20223 yr by DDD Dad
November 2, 20223 yr The Wolf of Snow Hollow on prime was a pleasant surprise. Dark comedy/horror. Robert Forsters last performance.

Aaron Paul and Alan Rickman. After my DVR got fried by lightningand I got a replacement, it took my cable provider several, ahhh, months, shall we say, to realize I was receiving literally all the HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, and a handful of others for free, about 60 different channels in all. Anyhoo, I would scroll and cherry pick movies to archive, and Eye In the Sky was one. Very cool and well done. Features the smallest robotic flying aerial camera spy device you ever saw. Well worth the watch. The English speaking skinny pirate from the Maersk Alabama plays a good guy, of all things.
November 5, 20223 yr Flipped back and forth last night to War Games and Devil Wears Prada, both are very enjoyable movies.
November 8, 20223 yr Edit: Didn't realize there was a thread for this. Leaving it here anyway. Completely fictitious biography of Weird Al. It's kind of awesome. Lots of celeb cameos. Evan Rachel Wood is Madonna. Edited November 8, 20223 yr by bolverk

I remember the first time I watched it as a kid. That scene where he stands up in his coffin while his whole body remains perfectly straight, that gave me chills.

November 11, 20223 yr I tried to watch RRR. People I respect really love it, but I just couldn’t last all three hours. I wish the original language stream was available instead of the Hindi dub.
November 12, 20223 yr Was off today for veterans day and watched See How They Run No Time To Die Infinite Storm House of Gucci All very different, but enjoyed them all
November 14, 20223 yr Lucky Number Slevin I forgot how good this movie was. What an incredible cast - in addition to the leads you had Freeman, Kingsley, Aiello, Tucci, and Stoll. Hartnett should have been a bigger star, on par with Affleck and Damon. Not sure what happened there. Even Lucy Liu was good and I usually find her annoying. She and Hartnett had great chemistry. I think at the time, the mid-2000s, people became weary of the all too clever dialogue that this movie had but watching it in the 2020s it's a refreshing change of pace.
November 14, 20223 yr Lindsay Lohan's first movie since 2013 I believe it was, Falling for Christmas. Schlocky, Christmas movie. Netflix does it's best Hallmark movie impression (unpopular opinion alert, I love Hallmark movies this time of the year), complete formulaic garbage to cuddle up with in the cold weather next to a fire and fall asleep halfway into. But really, it was like that 80's movie with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell (Overboard?) meets a Lindsay Lohan movie.
November 14, 20223 yr Triangle of Sadness. I really loved Force Majeure and The Square, but was lukewarm on this one. There were some real laugh out loud moments, but it had nothing original or interesting to say about class or wealth, and I fear that was the goal of the movie.
November 14, 20223 yr 34 minutes ago, MeerkatBong said: Schlocky, Christmas movie. Those are the same thing.
