Matilda on Netflix. Very good musical. Daughter is big into musical theater.

Same. The girls in the house loved it and I thought it was cleverly done.

Trying for the third time to make it through Everybody Wants Some, but for some reason I can’t make it through the first 15 minutes.

White Noise - Star Wars bad guy playing the lead opposite some chick that looks like a bunch of chicks but isn't.  Weird and slow.  Didn't like.

Where was this streaming? I saw an ad for it a while ago that it was coming soon and want to check it out. The source material (White Noise, by DD) is one of my favorite novels so I figure I oughta at least check out how they screwed it up.

Weird. That’s a good movie.

I get ya! I love Linklater, I played college baseball in the very early 80’s, and was really looking forward to seeing it! Should have been a 4 beer evening trifecta. Not giving up yet!!

So, we just finished the documentary on National Geographic "The Rescue".  It is about the kids in Thailand in the cave.  It was more intense than Howard's version.  

Babylon

I liked it.  Fun and over the top.

Babylon...an long overwrought movie industry period caricature....but Margot Robbie

The Full Monty has been running on either HBO or Showtime.

Great movie with one of the best final scenes in any movie with a great song to go with it. You Can Keep Your Hat On written by Randy Newman and performed by Tom Jones however the Joe Cocker version is better.

Cannot believe that movie is 25 years old. Released in 1997.

 

Highly recommended if you have never seen it.

Is she more or less naked than wow?

Sexier than when she walks out full Monty in WoW huh? Ok then.

I tried to watch Leave No Trace once.  It literally put me to sleep.

I saw Avatar 2 in IMAX, 3D with high frame rate today, and it was an incredible experience. Absolutely amazing work on the CGI and melding it with actual people and sets. Lots of beautiful landscapes and scenery, and the sound was so well engineered to give you that feeling of full immersion in the world. The 3D was not annoying at all, it was well done with none of the cheap jump scares in your face like a lot of other "3d" movies do. It just added depth to the visuals and made you feel more present in the movie. 

The story kind of sucked, but that's just Avatar for you.  The technicals are well worth a watch, but only in a theater that makes the most of it.  This is one of those movies that will never live up to its original billing when watching at home or on a plane. 

Very much enjoyed Babylon. If you have any interest in it at all, I recommend seeing in a theater while you still can. Not sure it will play the same on a TV.

It’s a fun, wild ride. Also too long and won’t be for everyone, but I got a real kick out of it. Damien Chezelle is definitely one of my favorite directors.

FYI it’s quite raunchy and a bit depraved if you are (or aren’t) into that kind of thing. The music/score is great and provides a lot of the film’s energy.

White Noise 2 is weird because Starbuck is the female lead.  Except she's not playing herself, she's just the leading lady. 

Haven’t seen a thread for it specifically, surprisingly, but anyone see M3GAN? So far 94% on RT. Comedy horror. We’re seeing it this afternoon, looks good.

There was a flick called Lean on Pete a while back that it kind of reminded me of.  Although Leave No Trace was lots happier.

The Westerner. Definition of the word classic.

Let's keep the Babylon train going. The first half hour is Eyes Wide Shut on mountains of cocaine. Would make a great Drafthouse watch.

Rock & roll can save the world. And the chicks are great.

Yes. We all loved the trailer so we booked 4 tickets at Alamo. It was great. Good dumb fun. I can't get over the dance moves in the hallway. Wan really does good horror that's not over the top gore. 

Went to see Babylon today. Very weird, but good movie. Agree with all comments so far. Thought the whole Toby Mcguire storyline was really bizarre, in a bizarre movie.

I never saw it. Watched it today after the Steelers game. I don’t know why I never saw it before. 

While watching I kept on thinking, "who is this guy? I know this guy. What else was he in?"

It was Paul Michael Glaser, Starsky, from, Starsky & Hutch.

Why didn't anyone warn me about this shitshow?

You were warned.

This is fantastic; a comfort movie for me.

Banshees of Inisherin

Loved the movie until the end. Farrell and Gleason are great. 
 

 

One of the, if not the best movie ever made ……….

It was good. I had never heard the story. I know historically what happened to Jews in Russia but, I knew nothing of the movie.

It’s strange because so many of my father’s colleagues at the hospital were Jewish and I went to many Bar, and Bat, Mitzvahs (and the celebrations after) and we were little kids when this movie was released and I am surprised I was never asked to go see it in the theater.

All I knew was the “If I was a rich man” song. 

The Burbs because i don't think I have watched it since I was a kid.

Wish I would have kept it that way. So dumb.

45 mins into The Menu, this movie is different. I like it

very good watch. dark and funny. highly recommend 

Also knocked out Spider Man - No Way Home - great ending to the current cast. I’ll hate to see them go, they’re the best one yet 

I've watched it many times, I'll watch it many times more ....

Yeah, I concur. Some movies are so bad that they are good. This is not one of them

Kooky fun. Cagney was great.

What do you mean we're in Nevada?

Vengeance - little slow at times but decent watch. It’s over hyped 

3000 Years of Longing (2022)

Three-Thousand-Years-of-Longing-1200.jpg

I thought it was pretty great.  Simple story but managed to be weird as shit.  George Miller is pretty awesome.

Between this, Bardo and Tar, seeing some pretty unique and great flicks.

In the Heat of the Night - a damn classic. Still a great watch
