April 16, 20232 yr If you're high or just want a stupid movie to watch I recommend Mindhorn. It's a about a washed up actor who had a hit show 25 years ago playing a TV detective, who is called in to help on a real police case. His police Liasson is played by Andrea Riseborough.
April 16, 20232 yr 5 hours ago, PittsburghTiger said: Main three characters are just awesome. I’ve watched it numerous times and each time it is fantastic. I should have said “four” because William Powell was very good, too, as were (obviously) Cagney, Fonda & Lemmon.

April 16, 20232 yr It was also Powell's final screen role. Nice way to cap off a career. Just watched this and it was excellent. Woody, Sweet Dee & Cheech.
April 18, 20232 yr You wanna know what we lost when cgi got cheap enough they can use it for everything? We lost movies like Ronin. I love Ronin. I just watched it again.
April 18, 20232 yr TCM hit a grand slam last night..... Rio Bravo The Big Sleep Strangers On A Train Back to back to back.
April 18, 20232 yr The Tomorrow War. Decent enough to have on in the background but it was a less than average movie.
April 19, 20232 yr Armageddon Time (2022) James Gray is always solid. This is solid. Via netflix DVD. Fuck them and you. I'm old school.
April 20, 20232 yr Always liked this one. The appearance, at the end, by John Banner always made me smile.
April 20, 20232 yr The Pick Up Artist. Film crew tapes Robert Downey Jr working off his community service hours, and Molly Ringwald attempting to resuscitate her career. Good cast. Keitel, Christine Baranski, Aiello, Dennis Hopper, and Poppie as a mugger. Some Sopranos cameos as well, Paulie Walnuts and Lorraine Bracco. Sort of interesting mob angle. Let’s be honest. It’s not a very good movie, but any movie shot in 1980s New York fascinates me. Also, Atlantic City in 1987 looks crazy. The real star of the movie of the movie is Hopper’s shirt stains.
April 21, 20232 yr Dirty Dancing. Baby’s sister is very jugged up. Turn your brain off and watch her while watching this POS with your significant other. Also, Baby’s mom. Ain’t bad.

Sig Ruman played Schultz in Stalag 17, the character Bannon's role was based on. AFAIK this was they only time they were on screen together. Edited April 21, 20232 yr by RPM

I was living in Manhattan when they filmed that. I came home from work one day and I couldn’t get home because they were filming right in front of the brownstone where I was living. I always watch that whenever I can just so I can see that. This was my block Edited April 22, 20232 yr by NeverMarryAStripper
April 22, 20232 yr This always makes me laugh. If any of you have daughters, sisters, or mothers who attended Catholic School it will make them laugh.
April 22, 20232 yr Iron Eagle!! Super cheesy but fun. Has a bunch of young actors you’d seen in other movies. MJ Fox’s buddy from Teen Wolf, Lamar from Revenge of the Nerds, cousin Oliver from the Brady Bunch, and a very young Jan from The Office as the star kid’s girlfriend. The kid’s high tech gimmick was a Walkman strapped to his thigh. My take away from this movie was that in 1986 fighter jets were so easy to fly that you could be an Ace after a couple of hours in an 8 bit simulator!
April 23, 20232 yr 6 minutes ago, Parliament said: Road to Perdition It's a John Wick prequel. Prove me wrong. Maybe if it's about Wick's great grandparents.
April 23, 20232 yr I would not have guessed before last night that in his whole career Robert Duvall only won one Oscar.Turns out he won best actor for Tender Mercies which I watched last night.Good movie. Also won for best screenplay. Surprised Duvall won for that though.

I think he is the greatest actor I’ve ever seen; he is awesome in every role large and small. My favorite: E.F. in The Apostle.

April 24, 20232 yr We watch Bernie last night with Jack Black, Matt McC, and Shirley McClain. We thought it was pretty entertaining. Based on a true story in Carthage Tx, while it was on, I looked at imdb, wiki and other to find additional info. Casting hit the nail on the head with Jack Black as Bernie. I can't see anyone else doing that part.

April 24, 20232 yr When Robert Duvall hosted Saturday Night Live back in the day, they did a game show skit called Who's More Grizzled. I really haven't been able to watch Duvall in a movie since because I always remember that damn skit when I see him and I lose my immersion.
April 25, 20232 yr Watched ‘battleship’ because of TikTok clips. Cheesy but not a bad watch now I want to play battleship

April 26, 20232 yr Palm Springs (2020) It's pretty much a romcom made by the Lonely Island guys and stars Andy Samberg. Really funny and enjoyable to watch, the characters are heavily flawed people but lovable by the end. I don't want to spoil the plot, as I went in with no clue about the story, but it's worth giving it a chance. Lots of hilarious moments even if you don't like the characters.

April 26, 20232 yr This was very entertaining. The banter was amazing, It’s a very intense movie, and rare these days basically a filmed stage play, in black and white. It was probably very immersive on a big theater screen m, like you were in the living room with them as an uncomfortable guest. Taylor and Burton are so good in their characters though one has to think some of the volatility mirrored their real life. It’s certainly not a feel good rom com.

April 26, 20232 yr saw Great Gatsby on a flight. jeezus that thing is horrible, shallow, utterly pointless and gratuitous. i think the book was mandatory reading in grade school and possibly had some literary value examined through a critical lens. through a film lens it licks ass.

Basically a poor man's Groundhog Day, but I really enjoyed it as well. JK Simmons is great as usual.
April 27, 20232 yr Disney made the movie, Miracle of the White Stallions, to commemorate this event. One of my grandfathers was born in Vienna and in 1972 my father took my mom, and her father back to visit the homeland. They saw the Lipizzaner stallions on that trip. I’m not sure why I didn’t really know about this story but, it was an enjoyable film. Kids would enjoy it, too.
April 27, 20232 yr I watched the Verdict on HBOMax or Max or Discovery Max or Chip and Joanna Max. While I liked the film, I don't think it's a masterpiece. Just a good, solid early 80s legal drama. I think it have worked better if they shot the entire film in Boston and used locals. I understand the director Sidney Lumet set out to shoot all his films in New York City. I'm sure the book delves into more, but the film doesn't really address how powerful the archdiocese of Boston was at the time. We just see a very serious archbishop in a funny hat talking to his attorney. There's just a hint that he has complete control of the city/hospitals/courts. The pacing was fine. Cinematography excellent. Newman and the supporting cast is great. It was fun to see Pops from Dirty Work in a serious role. Jack Warden had some moves.
April 27, 20232 yr Seven Kings Must Die. It's a movie sequel to The Last Kingdom which we enjoyed despite Utred's bizarre accent. Destiny is All! The movie isn't really very good. The closing scene is rather moving, though.

April 27, 20232 yr I went back and looked at the cast credits because I sure didn't remember Bruce Willis being in that movie.
April 27, 20232 yr SISU. Go watch this movie. That was an awesome experience. Whole bunch of Nazis getting roasted by a one man Finnish killing machine.
April 28, 20232 yr Watched Apple TV+'s Ghosted last night on the recommendation of a friend. My friend is an idiot.
April 28, 20232 yr I should have posted this trailer for anyone who has not seen it yet. Several of my friends want to see this movie so I am probably going back again. Totally worth another viewing.
