Absolute total waste of effort, money and film stock.
I’ll never get those 2 hours of my life back.
The Final Duel (2021)
The film is very well made just as you would expect from a Ridley Scott film. The acting is good. The story is pretty gripping. The overall structure of showing events from the perspective of multiple characters was great even if some scenes are hard to watch (rape).
I guess my biggest gripe is that this film is called “The Final Duel” and I expected dueling to be a main narrative focus. To me, the title implies that the film is about the final duel—the details of what took place and why it was the final legal duel in France. Instead, the movie seems completely focused on the social norms and legal standing of women in medieval times. There’s almost no focus on the concept of duels. In fact, the duel in this film seemed somewhat justified.
So yea, I think this film was marketed in a slightly dishonest way to get people into seats. I wouldn’t have bothered to go to the theater to see a film about misogyny and sexism in medieval times. I could have waited to borrow it from the library. And even then, it’s a forgone conclusion that women were treated like shit back then. Why do I need to see a movie about it?
“No time to die”.
Overlong but a classic Bond.
Karenin was the best part of TULOB.
always loyal until death.
Okay, this movie isn't out yet, but I plan to watch the Resident Evil reboot.
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City

I saw the name of the movie at the end of a commercial on TV, and I thought, "It must take place in 1998."
I looked it up, and of course it does.
It has a different director than the other live-action movies, so I hope it's at least decent. 
Well, you have to watch it right? Anything else would be illegal! 
But in all seriousness, I wouldn’t expect too much. It’s written and directed by a guy with no notable movies on his record. I’ve only heard of one and that one has a 5/10 on IMDB. Maybe he’ll really give it his all and surprise us. I have to say that their race-swapping of Leon doesn’t inspire much confidence for me personally. It tells me they are more worried about being seen as progressive than making an accurate adaption of the games. Leon is a character with an established look so “best actor for the job” arguments don’t apply; a game-accurate casting call would have tried to match the original character as much as possible. Seems like Hollywood is intent on making movies about video games for people who don’t play video games. :person_facepalming:
I saw 47 Meters Down (2017).
This movie is good.
The acting is great for a horror film.
The music is pretty good.
Parts of the film are quite intense, and the movie is entertaining.
” Nobody”
The Bus Fight scene in the beginning was worth watching it —- Turned into the typical Shot M Up fiction —-
Ready or Not.
Mrs. Jeff and I watched it last night.
What a hoot. Good acting. Silly plot - but who cares?
Get out the popcorn and sit back.
All the best,
Jeff
Life In Color (2015)
Excellent romantic comedy about two people who meet when one of them inadvertently gets the other fired from their job. The writing and acting stand out in this darkly-comical drama in which two people help each other overcome the past traumas and frustrations in their lives and inspire each other to reach for a better life and the happiness that has eluded them.
I saw 47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019).
This movie is good.
It's almost as good as the first movie.
The acting is average.
The music is pretty good.
This film is intense and entertaining, though the first movie is more intense and entertaining.
The sharks in this movie are more impressive looking than in part one.
Watched Dune (2021) and was impressed with the visuals. Maybe the fact that it is a 2 part film, they didn’t want to spoil all the sand worm glory in this go-around. Kinda reminds me of the Krayt Dragon from Mandalorian.
I did enjoy it overall except what I thought were minor quirks (which I won’t point out without spoiling the film for others).
Finch (2021).
The new Tom Hanks post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie.
It was … not very good. It was extremely slow-paced, the main character was unlikeable, and there were a couple major plot holes. I was surprised. An actual bad Tom Hanks movie. I didn’t think there was such a thing.
Watched The Harder They Fall last night.
Excellent movie.
I saw Dead and Buried (1981).
This movie is "from the creators of Alien."
You could have fooled me.
Alien (1979), is, or course, a masterpiece.
This movie is terrible.
The acting is not very good.
The dialogue is pretty bad.
There are petty arguments between couples in this movie.
No one wants to hear that garbage.
The music is actually decent.
The film isn't overly boring, but it isn't very entertaining.
This movie is a waste of space.
