Which movie did you watch lastֻ

Even if every politician spontaneously combusted right now there’d still be a bunch of extremely powerful and wealthy business interests just waiting to talk to the new guys. I don’t think one bomb would do it. :weary:

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022)

I laughed a lot watching this movie, and I was supposed to. Success! Pure fluff and pure fun.

The animation style has a little more flair this time around. It’s more stylized (almost like a cross between the original PiB and the opening dream sequence from Kung Fu Panda).

:heavy_check_mark: Cat Jokes/Gags
:heavy_check_mark: Nursery Rhyme/Fairy Tale References
:heavy_check_mark: Frenetic Puss in Boots action sequences
:heavy_check_mark: Hilarious line delivery by the cast
:heavy_check_mark: Amazing pacing. (Never once thought about the time)

If you are typically able to derive enjoyment from animated features then I recommend this movie.

I don’t personally believe that murder and terrorism are moral or practical solutions to any problem. But I realize that’s just one opinion.

Thank you for telling us murder is wrong oh wise one.

Seriously though, nobody here is brainstorming terrorist actions. We’re just sitting around wishing that it was as easy to fight corruption in real life as it is in the movies.

1. The Skin i Live In….took a lot of concentration to keep up. AB is great.
2. Gary Oldman is wonderful in EVERY movie we have seen with him.
3. Nice Dreams. nice. really nice. opposite of #1 above. no brain needed.

again, thanks for posting your movie suggestions.
over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays,
our plans are to “binge” on movies.

Just took in two 1980ties classics.

First the 1984 Romancing the stone, Kathleen Turner was such a hottie back then.
And as i type i take in the 1980 Blues brothers, AGAIN.

Just started to play “Rawhide” in A minor :smiley:

The Banshees of Inisherin
Definitely the best movie of 2022.

I saw Smile (2022).

This movie is pretty good.

Most of the acting is very good for a horror flick.

The music is excellent.

I must warn you, though, this movie is quite slow.

Also, it can be frustrating to watch because most of the characters don't believe the main character because what she describes only happens in horror movies, and never happens in real life.

There are plenty of horror movies like that, and it's annoying (for me) every time.

On the other hand, the plot is satisfying, and the movie makes sense by the end.

If you can handle slow horror/mystery movies, you might enjoy this one.

Saw the trailers for that, looked interesting, wanted to grab a copy.

ok.
here goes….

our first movie on the Binge List:
The French Connection.
it is actually a Christmas movie
since he runs around in a Santa suit.

The Glass Onion, which is billed as Knives Out v.2.

It’s a bit slow in spots, but I thought it was entertaining.

Glass Onion was disappointment to me. Wasted time.

I like murder mysteries...

I'll have to check out Glass Onion.

Watched “T-34”
Kind of a Russian version of the FURY tank movie.
In dubbed English. Not real great CGI.
Plenty of action, very entertaining.
All the Best,
Jeff

Hellraiser 2022 good fun. The Farm, good horror

My gal thought the same, so you two have that in common.

I wouldn’t buy the DVD, but it was worth the 2:19 for me.

Chris

I saw Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022).

This movie is okay.

The acting is excellent, but many of the characters are unlikeable.

Daniel Craig's character is likeable, but Edward Norton's character is intentionally hateable.

The previous movie, Knives Out, is much better.

Glass Onion is not nearly as clever as Knives Out.

The music in this movie is great.

There is a destructive scene near the end of the movie that is required plotwise, but the scene is still pretty lame.

Overall this movie is somewhat entertaining.

Started it. Stopped it at 20 mins in. This is… bizarre. Of course, all of those A-List actors is major eye-candy. I love seeing the banter, akin to Ocean’s 12. Haven’t resumed it yet. Knives Out v1 was super fun. I’m not feeling like v2 is going to be as good. And from word here, sounds like that’s the case.

Btw, Ed Norton’s character reminds me somewhat of Elon Musk… and the hate is about on par.

Yes, I believe Edward Norton's character is loosely based on Elon Musk.

Some people like Elon, some people hate him, but Norton's character is really hateable.

I would be surprised if anyone liked Norton's character.

from our Binge List,
one good one and one bad one.

good:
King of Hearts.

bad:
Videodrome.
