Sixtuplets , a comedy on Netflix about a guy who realizes he has 5 other siblings. Just when he was about to get married.
It had some funny elements, but not a movie to write home about. Below average, IMO.
I recently watched “spider man: into the spider verse”. I was skeptical going in as I’m super burned out on super hero films and I’m not huge on cartoons, but the show surprised me and I enjoyed it.
I know it’s not a movie, but do any of you guys watch the show forged in fire? I have been binging it lately.
It’s a really cool show that centers around craftsman making swords and blades. These blades then get tested in various ways and there is a bit of a competition as to who made the best blade.
While I’m not super interested in making a bunch of swords or knives, It has inspired me to start tinkering and forging myself. I built a variation of a ground forge . I built a little hole in the ground and stuck a long black pipe into the middle of the hole. I attached a hair dryer to the end to provide more airflow. It works surprisingly well, although the pipe does get very hot if i leave it for too long. With this humble forge, a pair of v-bit blacksmith tongs, and an old carpenter’s hammer I have been able to make a number of cool things like coat hangers, fire pokers, and knives. I might have to see if I have some pictures on my laptop if you guys are interested.
If any of this sound interesting you, I recommend checking out black bear forge or tobjorn ahman , those guys are great!

Hadn’t seen Westworld in forever, so watched that last night. Classic. 
Watching Yul Brynner trash-talk Richard Benjamin was a hoot!
Jesus Christ Superstar! Seeing it on one of the national TV channels as I post 
Green Book is a classic now.
Saw it on first leg plane to Hong Kong. Again second leg to London.
Didn’t have it on third to Barcelona. But I got it off net and showed it
to a few onboard ship.
ALl had same opinion. GREAT Movie, then some.
Both actors were perfect for each role. Pity a few more weren’t as professional
among the many that profess to be “actors”.
One of the Better movies among the mostly rubbish made nowadays.
Green Book is a good story and the movie was well done. Eveready Captains and Rayovac Sportsman in that one.
I also liked Finding Steve McQueen but perhaps that was because they showed them using Kel-Lite flashlights in that one.
“Winter Castle”, Hallmark movie I was forced to watch.
average!
Caught The Commuter last night.
Pretty good overall, but…
Started out really well as an intelligent thriller, but then blew up into an over-the-top Micheal Bey does “Die Hard 9: Die Hardest Then You Die Again” kind of movie.
Iron Sky II.
I had to laugh so hard about some scenes.
Hmm, was almost positive I mentioned Westworld t’other night, but can’t find it (even goggled it).
Classic roboflick, and watching Yul Brynner trash-talking Richard Benjamin was a hoot!
I saw The Frighteners (1996).
It was mediocre, which is strange.
I like Michael J. Fox, I like some Peter Jackson films, and I like most movies produced by Robert Zemeckis.
It seemed like the film makers were more interested in showing off special effects than anything else.
And many of the special effects do not look very good in 2019.
I did like parts of the movie, and I did like the last half hour, but overall it could have been much better.
“American Woman”
About a woman who disappears and how the family around reacts to it. Watchable movie, nothing extraordinary, a bit slow at times.
I saw Soylent Green for the first time this weekend. All the recent media talk about lab-grown meat had me curious.
Bugger. I just watched “Monolith” (2016), when I actually wanted to get “Monolith” (1993).
Wasn’t bad, but the first half of the movie, all I could do was roll my eyes and snark, “What a dumbass…”.
EVERYTHING she did was wrong, and just like those dimwits in “The Bunnyman”, I wanted her to pay for her stoopitity.
Decent end, even if a stretch. Kinda like The Knight Rider makes an SUV…
Jeeez.
I remember when Soylent Green came out.
Weird then. Not much better now. Made you think.
I was in 30’s. married with 3 kids and just emigrated to Aust the prev yr.
Oh, boy. I actually watched “Clownado”. Not to be confused with Clamato.
’Though come to think about it, I think most of the budget was blown on latex and tomato-juice. Maybe Clamato for all I know.
Anyway, think of “Sharknado”, but with clowns. Evil clowns. Killer clowns (not to be confused with Killer Klowns).
Worst wooden acting and dialogue I’ve experienced in a long time, but still enjoyable, as it didn’t take itself seriously. The Clown Leader looked Tommy Wiseau in clown makeup, all the actors seemed to have Tourettes given the dialogue, and I have no idea how/why a midget clown could (or should) just pop out of an Evil Clown who was just killed.
And yes, there’s a black Elvis impersonator, too.
Bad, bad, bad, but actually fits in the “so bad it’s good” category.
I saw Bubba Ho-Tep (2002).
It was okay for a low-budget film.
I was expecting something as good as the Evil Dead series, but it wasn't that amazing.
Parts of it were good, but there wasn't much action in Bubba Ho-Tep.
It scores points for being something different, however.
It definitely wasn’t an action movie. In fact, the first time I saw it, I wasn’t crazy about it, but each time I rewatched it, I just liked it better and better. It’s subtle.
The way they treat oldsters, like babies and otherwise just forgotten and neglected (feed’n’water ’em, and wait for ’em to die off) was pretty hard-hitting. Bruce’s portrayal as Elvis/Sebastian was excellent, and you could almost picture what Elvis would be running through his head if he ended up like Sebastian. And watching E/S flip out at the nurse and threaten to wrap his walker around her head if she treated him like a baby ever again was priceless.
Even quotes like, “If only I’d treated Priscilla right… If I could’ve told my daughter I loved her… Always the questions, never the answers. Always the hopes… never the fulfillments.”. Whoa.
His roommate’s daughter just casually throwing out all the pictures and his Purple Heart, talk about a sucker-punch in the gut.
It’s pretty slow-moving, almost seems to drag in parts, but the bittersweet ending just works, the score is excellent, even haunting, and it just seems to grow on you each new time you watch it.
Give it a while to sink in, then watch it again. Trust me on this.
All is well.
