Gonna watch that looks good!
I watched https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8695030/ the other day, always liked Bill Murray, especially Ground Hog Day, Ghostbusters, Garfield, but wondering why!
Was he just bored?
No Sudden Move…without spoilers, our opinion:
1. we turned on the CC. could not accurately hear what they were saying sometimes. rewind did not help.
2. movie was set in 1954. the $64K Question game show started in ’55. yes, we are that movie nerdy.
3. fisheye lens. just stop. no more.
regardless, it was still entertaining and worth the rental cost.
it would not have been worth movie theatre ticket prices, though.
“The Dead Don’t Die” was Murray’s fourth movie collaboration with Jim Jarmusch - they’re friends. I’ve read that Jarmusch said he made this movie so he could spend time with friends, but that might not be the whole story. Tilda Swinton reportedly suggested the idea to Jarmusch. There are many references in the movie to Ohio (Jarmusch’s home town was Akron, OH), and also to “Night of the Living Dead.”
While this movie isn’t considered by many to be Jarmusch’s best effort, ironically it was the first of his movies to be given a wide release (600+ screens). It also was the opening movie at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.
So it wasn’t me! Couldn’t hear a thing! thought my speakers died or something.
The Tomorrow War (2021)
A family man is drafted to fight in a future war where the fate of humanity relies on his ability to confront the past.
I actually liked this one, sounded a bit weird but was OK.
I can’t see the images from your review, or the latest here. But I still see the images here:
Even in a browser where I’m not logged in to my joogle account.
Can ’ya see this one?
Yeh.
El Camino - A Breaking Bad Movie
very good, watching it the 2nd time
The Dig (2021)
On the eve of World War II, a British widow hires a self-taught archaeologist to dig up mysterious formations on her land, leading to a staggering find.
Based on a true story.
I saw Final Destination (2000).
The acting is pretty typical for a horror movie.
The music is excellent.
The movie is somewhat entertaining, but there are some boring parts.
It's just okay.
I saw Final Destination 2 (2003).
It's not very often that Part 2 of a series is even a little bit better than Part 1, but in this case it happened.
I don't have anything else to say about this sequel.
I saw the new Black Widow. I kind of like the idea of seeing a show/movie about Soviet Captain America, origins etc. The movie itself was okay.
Other’n what’s on teevee (so I can do Other Stuff while it’s on as well), I only had time for a few shorts, which I could watch in one sitting.
“Me 3.769”, which wasn’t at all what I thought it was going to be. Only looked at imdb after I watched it. It’s a short, like 10min long, so came’n’went pretty quickly. Interesting enough, kid wants to be more “developed”, and has a rather unexpected and unpleasant encounter with a relative. Any more and I’d spoil it completely.
Eh, for 10min it’s definitely worth a watch, pretty good development in that time in both story and characters. Well, more like 7min ’cause there was about 3min of credits at the end.
Next up was “Flight”, which was surprisingly good. Jamaican flick, seemed “authentic”, about a boy who’s got his sights set on the stars and wants to travel to the moon, despite his dad’s rather brusque way of trying to squash that dream.
You kinda expect the dad to be an asshat, but that one moment of revelation about 2/3 of the way in should have you reaching for a tissue, especially watching dad’s performance, quite moving, even though it ended up being a feelgood flick. 
Only 13min long, and it said everything it had to say in those 13min.
Last up, “Her Body”, another 10min flick. More horror than drama, a woman wakes up wrapped in plastic, left for dead, to be handed off to body-traffickers. Well, surprise, she’s alive, and she’s got to fight for survival while her kick-ass sister tries to find her.
Short, but surprisingly good. Definitely worth the watch.
3 for 3, pretty good.
Come True 2020, nice horror movie 
The Tomorrow War.
Worth a watch, but it borrows a lot and it’s not exactly an homage.

Watched Black Widow last night..... and the young lady playing Natasha (a 13 year old Scarlett Johansson) looked like a younger version of Milla Jovovich. The face and especially the lips..... Milla has the most luscious lips on a woman.
And of course every-time i see Milla it makes me think of our own Raccoon (RC) here on BLF.
Well after the movie was over I had to look this young 13 year old up actress and this is what I found out:
"Who plays Young Natasha Romanoff in the cast of ‘Black Widow’?
Ever Anderson portrays a young Natasha Romanoff in the Black Widow cast. You might recognize the 13-year old from the 2016 film Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. However, the young actor was only eight when she portrayed Young Alicia Marcus / Red Queen. In an interview with Paper Magazine, Anderson admitted that she barely remembers acting in the movie. Still, the teenager might look familiar for another reason — her mother is Milla Jovovich. She starred in all six Resident Evil films as Alice and, at one point, was one of the highest-paid models in the world."
Wellp, another short, “Progress”, and I have no idea what it’s about.
Nekkid black guy wakes up, does nekkid yoga, goes for a run before sunrise all hoodied up, white stalker chick (a reporter) confronts him, follows him home, demands an interview. A lot’s made of the guy’s “blackness” (lingering shots of African art, pictures/posters of Farrakhans, that kind of thing). You find out he’s essentially hiding out in self-seclusion.
You also find out he’s “the last of his kind”, and snarks at her, “Where were you when there were only 2M of us? 1M? 100k?”, and that’s where it gets confusing. Is he a robot? Are black folk going extinct? Not hunted out to extinction or anything, ’cause news blurbs call him a celebrity, not Public Enemy #1 or anything. So what? Why’s he “the last of his kind”?
Later she “confesses” and whips out a pic of her (half-)black kid, says he’s not alone.
The End.
Uhhh, wtf?
Only 12min, so if anyone figures it out (watched it twice, still clueless), let me know.
Hmm, I never saw his lips, so I couldn’t say.
