Spencer Confidential on Netflix. Entertaining Marky Mark flick. It's not going to win any awards, but I wouldn't mind if he made more of them. I liked the books and the TV series with Robert Urich. 

Wow...a positive review?  The preview just made it look like a travesty for this particular Parker fan. You just encouraged me to give it a shot.

Tap the brakes. It's not a Parker book, it's based on Wonderland by Ace Atkins . They just use the character names. Again, this will win 0 awards, but it killed a couple hours on a slow day and I don't mind watching Wahlberg get his ass kicked. Iliza Shlesinger brought the lulz.

I thought this review was spot on:

The movie may be an easily forgettable action comedy, but as a Mark Wahlberg vehicle it is also easily watchable. - Elisabeth Vincentelli NYTimes

Watched The Princess Bride last night. Forgot how great that was.

Then watched No Time For Sergeants which I like better than A Face In The Crowd but both are great. 

Watched Knives Out over the weekend.  Pretty entertaining

Pretty much this. Iliza plays a great Boston chick, surprised to find out she’s from Dallas.

Face in the Crowd is a greater flick but man it is grim and left me feeling pretty blue.  No Time is one big smile.

Forrest Gump. Just noticed Bubba kept a mini bottle of Tabasco on his helmet. I would also be best friends with that guy. 
 

The insanity of serving people eggs without Tabasco needs to end. 

watched the lincoln lawyer last night, it’s free on prime.  not familiar with the book but it’s a very entertaining legal thriller, worth a watch during your self-quarantine if it’s one you haven’t seen.

Bringing Up Baby with my college aged kid. His take on it was hilarious.  Hepburn tells Grant “that’s might wide of you”. Was that the original expression and did ‘white’ get substituted as the more common saying?  Whenever someone told me that expression. I always responded with wait I’m not trying to steal your land. 

12 monkeys GIF
 

Watched 12 Monkeys agin last night. Still an amazing movie that feels like it was released a month ago. And the score is one of my favorites. 

A smile indeed.  Bravo, No Time for Sergeants.  

"Last name first, first name middle name last."  Thus, Stockdale Will Will Stockdale.  Don't know what happened to his middle name.

My snarky repartee conoisseur bride's favorite line:  Army Shrink to Stockdale: 

"Your father: LIVING?"

A true gem.

The Hunt. 

A Damon Lindelof written screenplay. Blumhouse production. Low budget political black comedy with no politicians.

Uncut Gems is pretty fucking good.

The sound mix was so bad you just wanted the movie to end and ignored the story. The ending was therapeutic not shocking. 
 

*seriously. Whoever’s brother they hired should be exiled from California. Ruined the movie.

Faces (1968)

 Faces_(1968_poster_-_retouched).jpg

I've said before that it's really amazing how wonderful some of the prints that Criterion and others do.  But I don't think it helps Cassavetes.  I just don't get his movies.  This one was relentless and noisy and bothersome and boring and horrible.

But, it was awesome trying to place Seymour Cassel (RIP) and realizing he was Wes Anderson's guy....

I have two teens, watched Jackass the movie with them this afternoon.  When the kids saw the lower res opening studio shots before the film starts they were like " is this one of your old movies with horrible special effects?"    After the opening scene and the rental car crash up derby they were laughing and like "what the hell is this?"   Me: "just wait"

i watched their reactions more than the movie....  good times!

Where'd You Go Bernadette (2019)

Muddled Linklater but Linklater, so okay.

Cate Blanchett is just too much.  She stresses me out and you just want to give her the vulcan knock out pinch.

When you most normal character is Elizabeth I, you're pushing the edge.

Mulholland Falls.

Jennifer Connelly’s tits. Fantastic.

Warning: Level 11 dust storm.

I remember him but did not realize that was him until you pointed it out

Did he die?

Furk, I had him confused with Max Von Sydow. I blame bourbon.

Uncut Gems.  Sandler's cartoonish portrayal makes me wonder if he's actually an anti-semite.  It tried hard to be a good movie, but fell way short. 

How did Vincent D’onofrio not win an award for playing Private Pyle?

"There Will Be Blood".  Enjoyed the first time years ago.  REALLY enjoyed the second time.  Had been long enough, I felt like I was watching for the first time again.  The one thing that I realized I was wrong about the first time, was that I thought Eli and Paul were the same person, only that Eli/Paul was a schizo who was Paul upon first meeting and Eli after.  I think I like the story better like that since Eli was a bigger piece of shit than DP was, both deserving of the description.

Spoiler

Yeah, I had no reaction when Sandler got popped at the end.  His character was just so unlikable that I just didn't even care.  Degenerate gambling piece of shit had it coming.

 

Sandler played the role exceptionally well, but I just didn't connect with any characters.

War movie actors find it harder to get the recognition that they deserve I think.  

52nd Oscars best actor award agrees.

Fight Club. 

Fucking great movie.  Acting, visuals, soundtrack, outstanding.  Didn't read the source material, but Fincher took what he got and put it on steroids.  I also thought the underlying theme of a generation pissed off was pretty clever:  

We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no great war. No great depression. Our great war's a spiritual one...our great depression...is our lives.

So they fight. And blow shit up.

 

Star Trek (2009) -A great reboot, with a creative story to introduce the alternate timeline.  And the casting of such iconic characters was really well done.

The original Wicker Man popped up on my Netflix feed. Pretty weird. Holy fuck Britt Eckland was hot. Long necked dancing scene.

Probably my favorite film ever. To me, they are equally overzealous and shitty. Which I think is what the entire film basically balances on. It's like the horseshoe theory of politics - you go far enough to one "extreme" side and you aren't that much different than the person standing across from you.

Rewatched Wolf of Wall Street for maybe the 4th time. It's fine. I laughed out loud a handful of times. Overall though it's just kind of douchey and irritating and overglorifies Belfort (even though I'm sure Scorsese would SWEAR that's not the point!). Certainly not DiCaprio's best work, there are a lot of scenes that I think Jonah Hill carries, ironically. His dad is great too (Rob Reiner).

I also love the actress that plays his first wife. Definitely wheelhouse for me https://www.google.com/search?q=cristin+milioti&rlz=1C1MSIM_enUS819US819&sxsrf=ALeKk03SCTsj9vfAFKugR1z0F3jg6hXv1Q:1584575090606&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjizZSbmqXoAhVSMawKHXexCP0Q_AUoAXoECBwQAw&biw=1920&bih=969

It's douchey and irritating because the characters are all from the upper East coast.  

Frozen 2.

This was really bad compared to the original. Even my daughter was "meh". Story was lame, the spirits or whatever was lame, and the ending was lame. Still probably made a mint though, so good for them.

Altered Carbon anime movie on Netflix. Meh.

use the filter and sort for suggestions...  or search for a specific movie.

Edited by Loco

Yesterday watched Joker and Jumanji: Next Level.  Joker was depressing as hell, but very well done.  Open for sequel if they wanted.  Jumanji was entertaining.

Finishing up Outbreak.  Holds up.
