Watched Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.   They really went back to the old Indy and in a god way.  The opening with the Nazis and the train was good fun plus the return to North Africa was nice.  Overall, it was a nice trip down memory lane harkening back to the Raiders and the Last Crusade.  A little goofy but worth a watch.   The call back to Raiders at the end with Marian was nice.  

I doubt I'll watch it again like I have with the first three but I'm glad they made it.

Good Christmas movie.  Ralph Cifaretto and Spiros Vondopolous in the house

goddamn it mac I told myself I wouldn't be fooled

Just remember what Lucas and Spielberg originally intended the Indy movies to be like....  Saturday morning serials that they grew up watching.  It's not going to win any awards but it's still Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones.  

Watched a good chunk of Doc Hollywood yesterday before leaving for a lunch date, at least I got to see the good part.

An amazing movie. The early scenes with Eliza and Henry Higgins are just fabulous.

One of my favorites - I always crack up at the scene where she's trying her upscale accent for the first time and says about her alcoholic aunt "it was like mother's milk to her."

That too made me chuckle out loud.  She was phenomenal in this film

I love Louis Armstrong and enjoyed this. A bunch of great old footage 

Kung Fu Yoga.  One of Jackie Chan's Chinese kung fu movies.  I like Jackie Chan, so I enjoyed it, but the script is horrible.  It's a mash-up of a kung fu movie and a Bollywood epic.  There are lots of attractive Asian chicks, but sadly, no nudity.  The Bollywood dance number at the end carries it over the top.  I looked it up and was stunned to see that it is one of the top ten grossing movies of all time worldwide because it grossed so much in China.

Still a classic

This movie has one of the greatest lines in cinematic history...

"I got one of them peanut butter pussies: it's brown, smooth and easy to spread."

The Whale. Great movie, but uncomfortable on so many levels, from end of the scenes to the overall message of the film.

The Matrix.

No I’d never seen it and figured I should just to connnect the dots on so many memes and references. Seemed like a nerd fantasy about wanting to kick people’s asses and have a hot girlfriend without ever leaving the basement.

Does anyone remember this scene....? | Chevy Tri Five Forum

Lucille!  

 

Will Wonka was on TCM last night, never a bad watch. 

Mrs MO is visiting her family so I'm watching movies since she's not a fan. Tonight was Quiz Lady, which was fun. And Triangle is Sadness, which is one bizarre movie. 

Fast Charlie - Pierce Brosnan, Morena Baccarin, James Caan

Aging hitman saves milf. Many die.

Killers of the Flower Moon. Very well done, IMHO. At least some of the thieving, murdering sonsabitches got justice in the end. Book was excellent, too. Live radio wrapup epilogue was a nice touch. Movie made me want to drive a vintage motor vehicle. Don’t need a Pierce Arrow; a Model A Ford would do.

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. My favorite scene was inside the Road Warrior’s car speeding doen the highway, the look on the tied up skycopter geek’s face when the wonder dog, holding a stick in his teeth wired to the triggers of the sawed off shotgun, twitched when a rabbit ran by.

Second favorite: when the bad guy “announcer” reach up to grab the boomerang and hig fingers were converted to vienna sausages. Followed by the feral kid’s howl of triumph!

Best full speed road action film work ever.

Super low-budget indie horror, free on Tubi. A wonderful depiction of grief and loneliness and vengeance, and both main actors were fantastic.

 

Watched “Just One Mile”. Documentary about a race that is a “Last Man Standing” format and is a 1.1 mile loop with ~325’ elevation gain. 
 

Amazon Prime. 
 

 

Thanks for posting that sequence from Harlem Nights. I thought maybe I'd been wrong about the movie, but I was not. Terrible.

Equalizer 3.  Denzel getting old.  

Enjoyed it just as much as the first 2. On the rotation for watching if it comes up on the channels

Just came off a transatlantic AA flight. Nothing really grabbed my attention in the new release section but it’s just as well because they had The Fifth Element. That’s always worth a watch. Possibly Gary Oldman's greatest role, and that’s saying a lot .

The Professional by a mile over Fifth Element. But I love both movies.

A Bridge Too Far. Often overlooked 70’s WW2 movie staring pretty much every major male star of the time. Not perfect but good!

Great Photo, Lovely Life - documentary - disturbing as fuck. A photojournalist digs into her grandfather’s deep and disturbing pedophile past. The fuck is very open about it all. He deserved a bullet to the head long ago 

All The Light You Cannot See.  Technically a series but not too long.

The Great Outdoors (1988) starring John Candy, Dan Akroyd and Annette Bening.

Had never seen it. John Candy was a tad bit before my time so not super familiar outside of Trains, Planes & Automobiles and Home Alone (this movie like Home Alone is also a John Hughes film). 

This movie was the epitome of what I’d guess was ‘80’s cheese— nothing really interesting about it and it’s superficial humor, but Candy played the straight man great.

I need to see Brewster Millions and Stripes next.

 

We taped The Great Outdoors off of TV some time in the late 80s and watched it alllll the time - it's still one of my favorite movies. "Big bear! Big bear chase me!"

Netflix- Leave the World Behind (Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Mahershala Ali)

Pretty solid flick, imo.

NYC family randomly goes on a weekend vacation out on Long Island.  Cyber attack shuts everything down. No phones, internet/TV etc.

Bunch of weird shit starts happening.

Nuclear attack on US

 

 

Hunter/Killer on Netflix was great.  High stakes Naval warfare.

I thought they left once in a while to go to clubs wearing black lipstick.  The fantasy was that club culture is really a powerful insightful worldview superior to all those drones wearing suits.

Damn. That was fucked 

The one from 1984, about the nuclear apocalypse?

I've posted this movie in the horror threads. I'm a big fan. Another good horror that reminds me of it in some ways is "Anything for Jackson"

Correct. Had to wash it down with something light, Evil Dead Rise. Basically a rom com compared to Threads.

12 angry men . i "watched " this movie as a pre-teen and didn't get it . watching through 2023 goggles at 49 was quite interesting .

Might be Fonda's top performance. The Ox-Bow Incident would be the strongest contender. The Wrong Man would be 3rd.

Velvet Underground (documentary - Todd Haynes) 2021

Beautiful and skillfully done but all of these dudes certainly insisted upon themselves.   It's really fascinating how I can respect the music until Rock 'n Roll comes out of the screen and then I realized how much I like "pop" Lou Reed.
