Just showed up on Amazon Prime. Revisionist history but great fun. Richard Mulligan from Soap as a demented Custer is great.

Just fired up Big Lights, Big City. Michael J. Fox, Phoebe Cates, and Kiefer Sutherland. I think movies about the 80's are better than movies from the 80's, 
Edit: I bailed. Sexy Beast is a much better choice. Mr. French's second best movie. Maybe Ben Kingsley's best role.

Sexy Beast. One of my favorite opening scenes ever.

(RIP Dave Greenfield. Keyboard player for The Stranglers who died last week.)

Watched Zombieland 2 and Mile 22 back to back. ZBL 2 was a shit show, why not stop after 1?  Miles 22 was great, a shoot em up blast. Do not get all the bad reviews.

Cringeworthy dialogue.

not movie, but my wife is watching this show sweet magnolia, and i keep turning my head because the lead actress looks like Best Value Brand amy adams.  not just appearance but her speech and mannerism is almost identical

Pain and Glory (2019)

Well crafted and some nice moments, but a bit claustrophobic.  Talk to Her still my favorite "modern" Almodovar...

Bad, bad  b****. Almost makes Reba watchable. 

Uncut Gems.

 

sucks major ass.  Holy furk.

Uncut Jims is the pron knockoff...

It's a movie that you keep waiting for it to get real good...and then doesn't. Good to see Adam Sandler acting again though.

The Nightingale on Hulu. An Irish convict goes on a killing spree when a British officer kills her husband and baby in 1820 Tasmania. It’s a good one.

The Man Who Wasn't There (1956)

because I did a book report on the subject in middle school.  As book it was intriguing but hour 1 has been The Plot that Doesn't Move.

Dr No.

 

This is my 5th or whatever attempt at trying to watch the entire Bond series.  It's terribly campy.

From Russia with love ...should've watched it earlier.  Possibly the best of all I've seen so far.

Synechdoche, New York

I didn't know anything about it other than that it was written and directed by Charlie Kaufman and had a good cast starring Philip Seymour Hoffman. That sounded promising. 

Hoffman did a great job, you get lost in his character. But his character isn't sympathetic or compelling in any way. None of the characters in the story are. It's just a slow, tedious self-indulgent slog on Kaufman's part. I'll give him credit, I could never conceive of writing a story like that. He's certainly creative. (Wow! Look at him write!) But the story isn't interesting, there is no great truth revealed, not even a meaningful minor one.

There were some interesting visuals, some heavy-handed symbolism (like the girl who rents a house that is on fire), and gratuitous surrealism. I laughed a few times. I wasn't always sure I was supposed to be laughing at the time. I kept waiting for a payoff that never came. If you haven't seen it, don't waste your time.

Well shit, any Bond lover could have told you that.

FRWL and Thunderball are Connery's best IMO.

Hard to believe the first 2 movies were from the same director.  It's like the difference between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope

I'm turning into a big softee. 

Hoosiers today.  It gets me every time, but when Shooter's son told him he loved him.  Goddamnit.

Then I'm cooking dinner, and an Officer and a Gentleman is on. Gere and his "I got nowhere else to go!" scene. Goddamnit.  Then his friends throw him some support. Goddamnit.

 

 

The Wrong Missy. Typical Happy Madison production. If you like those actors and most things Sandler, then you’ll like this as well. Even if you’re not a fan, it still has some entertaining moments.

Only 90s mins, and you can either watch intently or have it on while you’re working and still catch what’s going on. Lauren Lapkus does a superb job and pulls off the crazy, cringe-y, try anything, IDGAF, but very lovable gf quite well. Would, and would love to party with that girl. I’d recommend it to the HM fans and anyone who’s run out of stuff to watch and just wants something entertaining and easy to follow.

Uncut Gems.

Yeah, Sandler did a great job, but that character was just so unlikable.

He was like a hip Joey Knish( John Turturro in Rounders)...without the street smarts.

Except there was something calming about Knish when he spoke.  Nothing in that moving was calming.  I won't say it's the worst movie I've ever sat through, but it was easily the least enjoyable experience.  

Watched "Satanis: The Devil's Mass" which is a documentary about Anton Levay's Church of Satan from 1970.  The only thing it succeeds in doing is somehow making both Satan and nudity dreadfully boring.  Skip it unless you like saggy old person pancake boobs.

They’re very different kind of gamblers. Knish is a grinder who gambles to pay his bills. Howie is an addict. He doesn’t gamble for money. He gambles because the action is the juice. 

Uncut Gems was a great movie and the best depiction of what actual, stupid, degenerate gambling looks like. If you’ve never been on the edge of your seat because all your money is riding on the under of a 20 point blow out with 2:00 left in the 4th quarter you’ve never lived. 

Was bored tonight and looked for something on Netflix.  Saw Observe and Report there and thought I'd give it a try.  I honestly have no idea why I watched it all the way through.  There was nothing compelling about it.  Then near the end, there was a scene that really hit me, though not in the way the it was intended.  There is a scene near the end where a person faces off against ~20 cops defiantly.  After a short bit, the person gets subdued and then camera pans out as person gets kicked all over and hit with batons.  There are no repercussion or follow up to this event.  Given current events it really struck me how this movie was an example of Hollywood normalizing the idea of police brutality.

Nighthawks 

Stallone, Billy Dee Williams, Rutgers Hauer, Lindsay Wagner.

Fresh from mounting a devastating bomb attack in London, an international terrorist arrives in New York and remains intent upon wreaking further bloody havoc. His preparation is clinical and thorough but he overlooks one thing - the grit and steely determination of one New York cop.

Mississippi Grind.

Damned near a B movie, but the depiction of degenerate gambling is spot on.

Insidious. Fucking awful. It was bad enough to get some good laughs out of though. I never watch horror films unless they are rated extremely well - but I was at the mercy of a group decision on this one.

Patrick Wilson is embarrassingly terrible. The characters are only slightly less trite than the dialogue (where basically every line is predictable). The plot is hilariously dumb. 

Horror movies just suck in general. And their audience scores are never reliable because most of the people that watch them are teenagers, morons or both.

 

 

Goldfinger was all sorts of terrible.  Im hoping ya'll prove good and Thunderball is good

Are Rio Bravo and El Dorado the same movie? John Wayne is the lead in both. Howard Hawks directed both. Alcoholic sheriff in his over head in both films.

Special thanks to Robert Mitchum for making men’s suede boots cool. Pulling them off you son of a bitch. Rest In Peace. 

Add Rio Lobo to these two. Essentially the same movie.

Hooper, Love that right behind Smokey and the Bandit.

Only because Terry Bradshaw was in it, and Jerry Reed wasn't.

Me too.  "Son, kick their butt." always gets me.  And the "I'll make it" scene is one of the best in sports movie history.

They Call Me Dolomite is fantastic.  I really can't believe it got no Oscar noms.  

The invisible Man is very good even though Elisabeth Moss looks like she fell out of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
