July 6, 20232 yr Lots of airplane movies in the last couple weeks: Tenet- interesting movie that took some extra brain power to figure out what was going on. Didn’t care for the acting by the protagonist but Kenneth Branagh was great as usual. Puss in Boots The Last Wish- surprisingly entertaining. Saw the original years ago with my kids and was curious about this one. Very very good.Creed III- meh. I mean I saw the first two and had low expectations for this one, but it was a very weak and predictable. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves- zero expectations, other than my daughter said I’d really like it. And you know what? She was right. I have no understanding of the D&D world, but it was very entertaining with a few laugh out loud moments.Interstellar- saw in theaters and was thoroughly captivated, but never revisited. It was just as good the second time around. Plus, Anne Hathaway = wheelhouse. Just don’t tell my wife.
July 6, 20232 yr Tetris Mama Llama, Baby Llama and I really enjoyed it. Baby Llama is a child of the 80s and we played a helluva lot of Zelda, Galaga, Qbert, Tetris, all that jazz. Very clever the way the filmmakers incorporated “primitive” 80s video game graphics and animation into actual images and scenes. The plot (supposedly true) was a ripper. Inspiring, actually.
July 7, 20232 yr Fourth of July... Tommy Boy in the morning. Then went outside and did some much needed yard work. Grown Ups in the evening.

Is the opinion that Man On Fire >>>> Training Day a crazy statement for the rest of you? That is what they call a dead heat in horse racing-both are excellent and almost too close to call a winner.
July 9, 20232 yr I’ve never had any desire to rewatch training day. I’ve probably watched man on fire twenty times
July 9, 20232 yr I watched 65 last night. I'm not sure why I watched the whole thing. It wasn't particularly interesting.
July 10, 20232 yr I just saw Joy Ride. It checked boxes I enjoy in raunchy comedies and it was cool seeing four Asian women be the stars. It’s a little over an hour and a half so it’s not a long one. I would recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor that just wants to unwind and laugh.
July 10, 20232 yr National Treasure 2 (2007) with Nic Cage and Ed Harris. Oof. Really bad. Even the kids didn't like it. Edited July 10, 20232 yr by Longhornsnus
July 12, 20232 yr Re-watched some "recent" classics (Michael Clayton, What We Do in the Shadows, and Arrival) and one 90s lemon (Last Man Standing). Michael Clayton is criminally underappreciated (not on this board, but in the mainstream). Don't know how many times I've seen it but it never gets old. Tom Wilkinson steals every freakin' scene. As funny as WWDitS is, I think I enjoy the TV series more, probably just because of Mark Proksch. Third time watching Arrival. It's a wonderful flick but also a very heavy meal. Definitely a punch to the gut. Best thing I can say about Last Man Standing is Bruce Dern's peculiarly squirrely voice always makes me grin and it's always nice to see William Sanderson.
July 13, 20232 yr I watched Synchronic last night. The beginning of the movie seems like a disjointed art house mess. But once the protagonist starts his experiments, it all starts to make sense. It was a fairly novel scifi flick with an offbeat style and I enjoyed it.
July 13, 20232 yr I watched half of Knives Out: The Glass Onion. I was having trouble staying awake. I paused the movie and saw there was still another hour to go, so I bailed. I found Kate Hudson entrancing, and that was about it. Oh, and Edward Norton breathed a little life into the movie for just a little while. Before that, I watched Extraction 2. I don't remember anything about the original, but thoroughly enjoyed this actioner. Some nice filmic flair such as when he takes a bash on the head or later when the train crashes.
July 13, 20232 yr Bone Tomahawk. I didn't know anything about it going in. Wow.Haha - I love seeing reactions to this movie. Last 30 minutes is….jarring. I’m a big fan. I actually think it’s better on the second viewing. I’d you haven’t seen S. Craig Zahler’s other work definitely check out Dragged Across Concrete and Brawl in Cellblock 99.
July 14, 20232 yr Brian and Charles. Never heard of this and it popped up in my "things you might like" list. That was fun. Very light. Very enjoyable. Very well done. Evidently it won an award at Sundance.

Cell block 99 is very good
July 15, 20232 yr I’ve seen Dragged Across Concrete several times. The slowness and gore is just perfect. I might need a minute before another viewing of Bone Tom’s hawk. Cellblock 99 will be new to me.
July 15, 20232 yr The Candidate. Prime Redford, plus Peter Boyle, Melvyn Douglas, Allen Garfield, et al. Also Karen Carlson was pure smoke
July 15, 20232 yr Watched that also after watching some retched Aussie film called Razorback with heartthrob Gregory Harrison of Trapper MD.
July 15, 20232 yr Sanctuary. Good flick. I would scrub a toilet for Margaret Qualley no questions asked.
July 15, 20232 yr The Money Pit was on IFC earlier today, holds up well, imo. Anytime somebody asks me how long something that can’t obviously be done right that instant will take I always reply, “two weeks” and then chuckle to myself in my head.
July 16, 20232 yr Ate 25 MG edible then watched Infinity Pool... I'm a changed man. For good or bad? Only time will tell.

July 16, 20232 yr 65 with Adam Driver. Popcorn flick that I didn't hate but doubt I'll give it much thought ever again.
July 16, 20232 yr It's my mission in life to pass on critical social value films just to expand their world view. Started down a bowling wormhole with a random comment and I brought up Kingpin. He'd never heard of it. I have given him an assignment.
July 16, 20232 yr Open Range, it was a re watch as ive seen it many times one of the best westerns of the past 20 years

July 17, 20232 yr this should be mandatory viewing in all schools with regards to studying ww2 ..... damn good watch, re watch for me. probably watched it 3 or 4 times
July 17, 20232 yr Asteroid City. VERY Wes Anderson. Loved it. Spoiler Brief Scarlett Johansson nude scene.

I really enjoyed the movie, but I have a feeling that I'm missing something. The main arc is missing or I missed it.

July 17, 20232 yr John Wick 4 - it was okay. Feel like it jumped the shark a little bit with Wick basically being bullet proof. The first 3 he at least pretended to avoid being shot.

July 17, 20232 yr Never Look Away A phenomenal film that's essentially based on Gerhard Richter's life and work.
