Which movie did you watch lastֻ

Yes, you’re correct.

Yep, will do.

Quite a story! Did you glance at his screen to see if he was the real deal? :wink:

The new Dune was better than I anticipated. Hard not to think of the 1984 version and compare, but after a while I “shifted” my mind to forget about it. I think the new one is pretty faithful to the whole premise. Excellent production values. And of course, it felt so unfinished stopping half-way. Can’t wait for the sequel!

Ha, that’s the one! Mad skills for the guy he’s chasing, too! He’s like The Bat Man the way he’s bouncing around like that.

Gotta say, I don’t think you could get me up that high even at gunpoint, let alone jump from one crane to another like they did.

Alas, one of my faves:

“District B13” is a hoot! Awesome flick. :laughing:

"Little Murders" (1971)

Starring Elliot Gould, Marcia Rodd, Donald Sutherland, Alan Arkin

Directed by Alan Arkin

This often bizarre black comedy is one of my favorites. It has scenes that are laugh-out-loud funny and others that are the blackest black. The scenes of family life are hysterically twisted, as is the famous wedding scene where Donald Sutherland portrays a hippie pastor.

Over the years, I have seen Little Murders three or four times, and my reaction varies the same way it does to Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Parts of it horrify me, leaving me aghast. But then other parts put me on the floor, rolling in laughter. Gene Siskel, who gave Little Murders his top rating (four stars), called it, "a mean little comedy that made me laugh and then think, 'God, how could I laugh at that.'" [Source: Wikipedia article]

Roger Ebert also gave Little Murders his highest rating (four stars) in a lengthy review you can read here.

No need. If he is not Robert Wade, he is his evil double :smiley:

I had overlooked this. Whoa… what a mind trip! So surreal.

Thanks - hadn’t known about District B13. That was some seriously cool Parkour!

I’d seen it mentioned before but never got around to watching it. Will have to give it a shot. Speaking of 1970’s, I had tried to get into some old Michael Caine movies from that time, but few could sustain my interest. I like him as an actor but man, he had so many “filler” movies.

Btw, sorry that your Joe Blogs thread had to be closed. Some people just can't respect an OP's intentions...

Looks promising. Adding that one to my list.

I watched it both ways, I think first was dubbed, and second was FR audio and with EN subs.

not that good.
only watch it if you are a Paul Newman fan, which we are
since we knew him when he was on the car racing circuit.

There was a small window in the late '60s/early '70s when the suits running Hollywood recognized that they did not understand the counterculture then sweeping the globe. But that didn't mean they did not want to cash in. The result was that they surrendered artistic control to the writers and directors, and just gambled that something profitable would come out it. Directors like Robert Altman got to make the movies they wanted, rather than something based on tried-and-true formulas and careful market studies.

Little Murders is one of those movies.

I saw His House (2020).

This movie is pretty good.

The acting is great and the music is also great.

It's a psychological thriller/horror movie, with some drama and mystery as well.

The movie is not completely in chronological order.

Because of this, much of the movie doesn't make a lot of sense, until suddenly it all makes sense.

By the end of the movie, the movie makes sense, which is important to me.

The movie is a bit slow, though.

I like this movie, but the parts of the movie that didn't make sense (at the time) did bother me.

I recommend this movie to others, but you have to stick with it and watch the whole film to fully appreciate it.

maybe a Bogart movie you have not seen:

The Enforcer.
with Zero Mostel.

the whole thing is on Youtube.

The Tender Bar.
Lots of vintage 60’s, 70’s cars and good vibe.
Loved it.

I saw Silent Rage (1982).

This horror/action film is not very good.

Overall, the acting isn't that great.

The music is okay, but there are long stretches without any music, which is disappointing.

This movie is inspired by the Halloween franchise, but it's also a Chuck Norris action film.

There's a mentally ill seemingly unkillable serial killer that doesn't talk much, just like in Halloween.

The movie has a lot of slow parts.

When something happens in the movie, it can be is fairly violent, but the violence is not done very well.

The end of the movie is the best part.

The killer is after Chuck Norris's character and his girlfriend, and it's actually pretty decent.

If the whole movie were as good as the ending, it'd be a much better movie.

Awww, man, you didn’t like it?

I kinda liked the last twenty minutes, but I didn't care for the rest.

Yeah Chuck movies were never Siskel and Ebert approved :smiling_imp:

I used to watch and like Walker, Texas Ranger.

That show is better than many Chuck Norris movies.

It’s funny —Lots of those old movies / shows, the action scenes are not very realistic ( Superman dodging the gun being thrown at him )

Watched the original Karate Kid (1984) with my 7-year-old. We enjoyed it.
