December 2, 20232 yr 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.
December 2, 20232 yr Good Christmas movie. Ralph Cifaretto and Spiros Vondopolous in the house Edited December 2, 20232 yr by Lazarus Bocanegra
December 3, 20232 yr 4 hours ago, Lazarus Bocanegra said: 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.
December 4, 20232 yr An amazing movie. The early scenes with Eliza and Henry Higgins are just fabulous.
December 4, 20232 yr Watched a good chunk of Doc Hollywood yesterday before leaving for a lunch date, at least I got to see the good part.

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."

December 6, 20232 yr 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.

December 7, 20232 yr The Whale. Great movie, but uncomfortable on so many levels, from end of the scenes to the overall message of the film.
December 7, 20232 yr 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.

December 9, 20232 yr 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.
December 9, 20232 yr Fast Charlie - Pierce Brosnan, Morena Baccarin, James Caan Aging hitman saves milf. Many die.
December 9, 20232 yr 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.
December 9, 20232 yr 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.
December 10, 20232 yr Super low-budget indie horror, free on Tubi. A wonderful depiction of grief and loneliness and vengeance, and both main actors were fantastic.
December 10, 20232 yr 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.
December 10, 20232 yr Thanks for posting that sequence from Harlem Nights. I thought maybe I'd been wrong about the movie, but I was not. Terrible.

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. Edited December 11, 20232 yr by DDD Dad
December 11, 20232 yr A Bridge Too Far. Often overlooked 70’s WW2 movie staring pretty much every major male star of the time. Not perfect but good!
December 11, 20232 yr 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
December 11, 20232 yr 3 hours ago, BeardIP said: 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!"
December 11, 20232 yr 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

The fantasy was that club culture is really a powerful insightful worldview superior to all those drones wearing suits.

Another good horror that reminds me of it in some ways is "Anything for Jackson"

December 13, 20232 yr 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 .

December 13, 20232 yr 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.
