Didnt know MH was out. gotta see that…
I saw Scream 3 (2000).
This is the first film in this series that I have not seen before.
It also isn't all that great.
The acting is okay, but the plot isn't very good.
The movie isn't all that entertaining, though the music is pretty good.
The killer/killers use a "technology" throughout the film that doesn't exist, and every time they did it, it annoyed me.
Even though all of the Scream movies are directed by Wes Craven, Part 3 is the worst (by quite a bit) so far.
Astronaut Farmer
Cashback - kinda chick flickish, but funny.
Rarely watch films but I did see a one in the cinema with an unusual release history: Boss Level.
A forgettable but enjoyable take on the time loop concept (eg. Groundhog Day, Edge of Tomorrow). Reviews were scarce as it hasn’t been released in the USA but it probably helped to go in with no expectations.
A review by “Jacob Anders Reviews”
I got a copy as I didn’t want to wait(!), but haven’t watched it yet. :person_facepalming:
Borat’s latest. Worth the laughs.
Chris
a whole bunch of those
old TV disaster movies:
Threads.
Testament.
The Day After.
Special Bulletin.
Without Warning.
By Dawn’s Early Light.
no cell phones, no internet, and no chance.
The Lives of Others
That is one I definitely need to see.
This movie is actually a fictional story based on one fraudulent scheme in real life - it is not a documentary and is not about addiction, therapy, or any related business in general.
Thinking of watching Nomadland. Anyone seen it?
I’ll see it when it’s available on a platform to which I have access. I’m not going to a theater now, and I have no access to Hulu. I’ve seen quite a few glowing reviews.
Excellent movie. The stasi were a lot like the big tech surveillance state we have now.
Movie 43
“The Humanity Bureau”
This film shows us a dystopian future where citizens of the US are rated by their productiveness towards society.
While this was a straight to DVD release, it is watchable if you like Nicolas Cage or the setting of these type of movies. Not a blockbuster, but also not a complete dud.
I have seen Nomadland and liked it. The trend in the US, generally speaking, shows a rising number of people who want to or have to live in their RVs or vans. Nomadland reflects this trend from the angles of unemployment, poverty, family, and coping with life. I like that the plot was around a female lead and not, as you’d expect, a male.
I don’t know what country you are living in that has a secret federal police force like the Stasi - tasked with framing, smearing and also eliminating political enemies of the autocratic rulers, with no oversight by elected officials, both inside your country and in other countries - but you have my sympathies. That being the case, you are taking a big risk just posting a criticism of them, especially with their high tech resources - take care of yourself.
Ever heard of google?
Big tech has made it their mission to know everything about everyone, not just in the old DDR, but around the whole world. They are not the government, in many ways they are more powerful than governments and they are more than happy to collaborate with with fascist regimes like the CCP to repress their citizens.
And you can keep your sympathies, my country is the USA, a country I have had the honor to humbly defend, in a small way and will continue to do so.
Your ad hominem attacks and off-topic comments violate the forum rules, rather than defending the country. PM sent.
