the first half is entertaining.
the second half is rubbish.
this is one case where
i might read the book
after seeing the movie
since it is supposed
to be really good
unlike this.

re-watched re-animator :sunglasses: a classic

Full Out

A young gymnast’s Olympic aspirations are crushed after a debilitating accident.

the G.O.A.T.
if you like swords.
not dialogue, though.
definitely not dialogue.

Oxygene on NetFlix.

Kind of a Sci-Fi doomer premise but with one really long monologue.

I saw Sightseers (2012).

This movie is okay.

The acting is decent, and the music is good.

The movie is somewhat entertaining.

The two protagonists seem like good people in the beginning, but turn out to be horrible people.

It's a pretty dark comedy with some horror elements.

Most of the movie isn't all that funny, but the ending is really good and fitting.

Overall, it's not bad for a low budget film.

The Get Together

A recent college post-grad, a soon-to-possibly-be-engaged couple, and a failing musician all deal with the realities of growing up as their three stories intersect over the course of one night at a house party in Austin.

The Dry /2020/

Not bad, but a little slow.

Denzel is our favorite “action hero” and this one is just O.K.; not great.
borrowed the DVD from our library. glad we did not pay to see it.

personally, i could not get over the weird color rendition (CIA movie reference),
and the vibrating or shaking camera viewpoints. however, it is mindlessly entertaining.

This past weekend I watched “Strange Brew” 1983. I hadn’t watched it in more than a decade, still as stupid funny as I remembered it as being. :wink:

Yeh, it’s FAF.

I got (amazon) a coupla Elsinore Bier teeshirts, too. One’s beat to Hell, waiting for it to develop a hole or something before I start wearing the backup.

“The Limey” (1999). This is a very inventive and well-acted movie reflecting on the nature and justification for revenge, the effect of memory on our actions, and the culture clash of wealthy Los Angeles vs. hard-knock life British ex-con. Impressive performance by Terrence Stamp. The director, Steven Soderbergh, recently gave an interview in which he said that he was never more in terror than when in post-production for this film and the movie was not coming together. He re-imagined the film, it was re-edited, and the result is a creative and original success. In the same interview, Soderbergh also said that, if the film had done better at the box office, he would have pursued a sequel that takes place in the UK, where the main character, Wilson, would seek revenge against the criminal colleagues whose betrayal led to his prison sentence.

The Limey (1999) sounds like it's similar to Memento (2000), my favorite movie of all time.

It is similar in its themes about memory and how we think about the past, and the effect of the past on the present. In “The Limey,” there are repeated scenes from the memory of the main character, at times using spliced-in scenes of Terrence Stamp in a 1967 movie. There are also scenes that are his projections of what he imagines might happen in the future, or what he intends to have happen.

Blazing Saddles, it never gets old. :white_check_mark:

good idea….watch a movie that “never gets old”.
only 104 minutes. makes me wish movies had term limits.
maybe a way to learn another language since we know the dialogue by heart.
“Ouais, les blondes sont rares ici.”

Funny, I saw “King Kong Escapes”, with Mechakingukongu, on the Svenjoolie show over the weekend. That was a hoot!

Caught “Tangled” tonight. It was amazingly good!

I thought it was geared for kiddies and teenyboppers and the like, and was about to change channels when I burst out LOLOLOLOLing. The chick brains the guy with a skillet and is eyeballing him as he lay unconscious. He opens his eyes suddenly, she shrieks, and brains him again!

My kinda movie!

Great humor, great CGI, good story.

And for a “kiddie” movie to have both stabbing and defenestration, ha!, again, my kinda movie. :laughing:

Anyone seen Life Hutch from Love, Death & Robots on Netflix?

Big one for flashlights :wink:

Wrath Of Man

really cool action movie with J. Statham

I watched Breakfast Club yesterday, so now I know where your avatar is coming from. Still can’t understand why it has such a high rating on IMDB, it was pretty boring and tame till the end. I expected more, especially from a 80s movie where there is usually fantastic elements.
