Nice. Though I wish they had their on demand free instead. That way I can catch up on Homeland instead of pirating it. lolDon't know why it wouldn't include on demand.

[Reck]

Don't know why it wouldn't include on demand.

Odd, I just checked and Showtime ain't free at all. It's blocked.

Or do you mean streaming only? But just now I just browsed through one of the HBO channels and they were actually open. Holy shit.

I do not have that package so I assume they've unlocked it. I'm going to douche check and get in contact with them in case they're being cute and charging me for this shit. They'd done it in the past where they would have a " free promotion" but after it expires they leave it in place and start charging you.

Optimum is trash.

七人の侍 (Seven Samurai)

I'd rate it 9/10. Good story and some awesome battle scenes. Story of a farming village that finds some rag tag samurai to defend them from a bandit attack.

Great film :toast Remade by Hollywood in 1960 as “The Magnificent Seven”, one of the first “all star cast” projects. I love it for Eli Wallach, he’s the best Mexican/Italian/Greek bad guy. Always a very calculating and manipulative character.

[Thread]

If anyone is looking for content Showtime and Epix are running 30-day free trials.

Finally caught up to -A Quiet Place- because of these freebies. Thank Christ, I didn't spend any money on this in the circa.

Pedestrian, though stepping on a nail ain't no fun & a cautionary tale wherever man dwells.

i'd say its closer to a 6 than a 4, but it's just kinda meh. It's pretty similar to the 1995 MK movie, just that this one focuses a little more on Scorpion. It also looks like there will be a sequel cause of the ending. So yea, if you got 80 minutes to waste and you're a fan of MK you will probably enjoy this. I think that the 95 movie is a little better and much more fun.

Extraction 6.5/10

Pretty much what you can expect when a director writes and a stuntman directs. Expertly done but derivative action sequences (Batman vs. Superman, Daredevil, True Detective, probably some other stuff I haven't seen) connected by a gossamer thin and ultimately predictable plot. If you like some cool action, it's worth the watch but don't expect to care much about anything. Hemsworth is good; Harbour barely there.

Ya, I saw it for the 1st time. Didn't cheat, didn't know how it was going to end.
Many of the plot twists are pure soap opera. But it definitely keeps you watching. Her taking him back (twice) after he ratted her out to the arrogant DA AND after he went on a week in Mexico with a floosey while she was at her Moms funeral was just too much of a stretch.
Casting was mostly very good.
Lana Turner as Cora Smith was fantastic. Dale if you don't find her pleasing in that movie and at least as hot as Nancy Pelosi (to you) you have a problem.
John Garfield as Frank Chambers meh.
Lawyer for Cora was great.
Arrogant DA was a good cast if arrogant was what they were going for.

Would you recommend bothering to watch the 1981 version with Jack Nicholson / Jessica Lange if you already saw both?

I DVR'ed and watched it last night and this morning as well though I've seen it many times. It's got it all, even the cuckold strain as Her husband wants to watch.

And they catch her in one sumptuous angle after another. They don't grudge it. "You want to see her bottom jut out a bit?"

"Fine, here and here and here."

& her stomach ain't all the way flat, which is absolutely perfect.

The way Garfield talks about that California death house is fascinating. Just like MacMurray talked about same in "Double Indemnity." They're both on their way & will not stop, even though they see it clear.

& the hard line that "Cora" sides about turning the place into a growing concern. It's marvelous. She could do it without looking back at the slaughter of her husband, but, Frank won't be able to. He thinks he can, but, it ain't in him. He'd a run amok.

& the horror Turner exhibits when her husband commands her to Northern Canada (not just Canada, but Northern Canada) to nurse his paralyzed sister. Sure, the viewer thinks about it at first blanch (cleaning her after BM's, cleaning her on a daily basis, etc.) but, then Turner thinks about it, the director shows us her thinking about it and I don't want to think about it no more.

Yes, MT, it is a flawless motion picture event.

Double Indemnity was great. But Fred was the swarmy insurance salesman. Much different from tough guy cowboy in The Moonlighters. I have not yet seen Caine or The Apartment. Will do. We agree The Moonlighter just fell short. Maybe the studio was still working the kinks out after WWII and were pressured to get Moonlight out quickly.

The stuntman in the waterfall scene. Wow that dude took a fall. Barbara slid down in rather safe increments (still impressive). But dude was like a toboggan going down a snow run / waterslide park.

Well I remembered I had The Moonlighter on my dvr so I watched it yesterday. And I liked it a lot more than I thought I did lol. I moved it to 2nd place of my best Stanwyck/MacMurray flix. Of course for me it’s all about Stanwyck, but I get what you mean about MacMurray. He does a really good heartless SOB but he looks awkward in the action parts. I guess because he was a big man and he moved like one—slow and lumbering. You know he was the physical model for the comic book Captain Marvel in the 40’s? :lol

Saw a couple of off the kilter films this week:

"Mother!" with Bardem & Jennifer Lawrence. A real mind bender, that is a showcase for Lawrence, Bardem plays her husband. Ed Harris is there as well and is stellar. It's weird, but, serviceable.

---

& "By the Sea" with husband & wife at the time Pitt & Jolie. Christ, she is so gorgeous in this that it's difficult to watch. They play a couple on the brink of separating who come into contact with a young French couple on their honeymoon. Voyeurism abounds. Nothing fantastic mind you, but, again serviceable.

[SpursforSix]

Checked out, "I See You" on Prime. Had better than average ratings so I gave it a shot. And this is with me pretty much hating Helen Hunt. Fortunately, about 75% of the movie doesn't involve her.
Psychological thriller that keeps you guess for a while and does have a pretty good twist or two at the end. I think it was actually a good story and could have been done better.
That being said, it was worth watching. It's only just over an hour and a half so it's a quick watch.

"Life" with Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence. 1999

It's on one of the free movie channels. It's a very intense motion picture for a comedy. I did not like how they packaged it in it's release cycle.

Love this part, Ray's Boom-Boom Rm. fantasy sequence. The way Murphy jumps on Lawrence is sublime. & the girls at the bar are absolutely gorgeous. This film is vastly underrated & a bitter comedic tragedy.

TV series Channel 4 in Britian a while back:

Toast Of London

Its on Netflix.
I thought it was very funny if you keep up with it as it references previous episodes.
The voice over guys (Scramble Studios) that screw around with Steven Toast are a treat. "Yes I can hear you Clem Fandago"
By the third season it got a bit old, but its my kind of humor.
4/5

Guy who does the show and plays Steven Toast is a sound engineer of sorts and actually does the songs that accompany the series and the songs in the different episodes.

If you're talking about Coherence (the dinner party meteor movie), that was a good one. I always group that one with Primer and Triangle (2009). And the one about where they find that box in the swamp that has something to do with the moon.

Joker -- I saw it for the first time on HBO. 7.5/10. The plot itself was kind of weak but Phoenix's performance was great.

[Texas_Ranger]

Extraction - 6.. idk, perhaps even a 5. I'd have to see it again. I'll give my final score in 10-15 years when I get myself to see this for the secon time.

This is like John Wick in India... I'd say the main guy played by Chris Hemsworth looks even better than John Wick sometimes. I'd give this like a 7 if it was presented like an Resident Evil movie and Hemsworth was playing Chris Redfield, cause damn, that guy can kill. If there were 5 of them they could pretty much take down the whole Indian Police/Army. Enemies or should I say Police and Army in this movie are pretty much retarded and you really can't believe that those guys are qualified for their job. I see this a lot in movies, like, you have a fucking gun and instead of shooting the guy, you rather rush into him. I'd be fine if it happened once, but not like 10 times. Also, fucking grenades dont burst into flame when they explode. Get that right already movies.
I did like the action scenes tho. The shaky cam didn't really bother me and I can see that the director was a stunt guy before, just like the John Wick directors. Acting was pretty good from everyone and the story was just ok i guess. So all in all it was an OK movie.

oh yea, there is a scene where Hemsworth slaps the shit out of some kids, which was pretty funny. I was surprised they showed that in this vagina times.

Predestination 8/10

It's a few years old (2014 I believe), but I had never heard about it before now. It's free to watch with adds on the Tubi app. My one complaint is that it telegraphs all of its twists, but the story overall is pretty mind-bending. It's based off a short story from the 50s. I looked it up and read it after seeing the movie. Surprisingly very little was changed, even the dates/time periods were kept the same. They just expanded on one of the major plotlines.

[chunticakes]

Echo in the Canyon

Documentary about the folk music scene in Laurel Canyon in the late 60's. It was put together largely by Jakob Dylan who did all of the interviews and there was some interesting stuff. But in the end it was pretty indulgent as to Dylan. Interspersed between some very informative clips, they'd cut to scenes of concert footage of Dylan and other modern musicians (most notably Beck) performing the songs.

In the end, I felt like it was pretty forced as to the importance of some of those groups. They somehow involved the Beach Boys and the Beatles and tried to make it seem like it was all intertwined. Which I'm not buying.

Anyway, it was just OK. Unless you really want to hear the Mamas and Papas redone by Dylan, Beck, and some other random people.

Sandler is great, and the technical work is fantastic, but the nonstop screaming and the soundtrack got incredibly exhausting. By the end I even wanted to shoot him in the face just to end the movie.

I'm about an hour-and-half in, and this is indeed one of the most overrated films of the past twenty years. Sure, I haven't finished it yet, but there's not much it can do to redeem itself with regards to any twists or potential memorable scenes. I don't think a heretofore mediocre story should be let off the hook just because it has a few great scenes during the third act. First and third acts are relatively easy to craft. It's creating a compelling second act that is the real challenge in storytelling. Too much of the second act pivots to Howard's (Sandler) domestic situation that isn't particularly interesting and centered too much around the "immature and philandering husband tries to redeem himself" trope told in about the most cliched way possible. Blowout with mistress. Has heartfelt moment with wife and kids. Yawn.

And the central premise is rather weak. While I do like the quasi supernatural aura the Safdies build around the opal stone, they don't feature enough scenes with the stone to play up its spell. Even something as simple as KG alone in his locker room looking at the stone as if it were the Holy Grail while Lopatin's synthy soundtrack plays in the background would've went a long way. And speaking of KG. I found his use more of a gimmick than anything else, which relates to the main storyline's shortcomings. You have to ask yourself. If this story featured a fictional basketball player, would it hold the same interest?

Another nearly fatal flaw that just about sucked all the tension away from the proceedings was the fact that Sandler was a relatively well-off jeweler. His stereo alone was worth about 100K. Because of that, I never really bought into the tension of his needing the money to pay off his debts and/or continue his self-destructive odyssey. I realize the story is about one man's descent into self-ruin, and no matter how many assets he has or doesn't have, he'll always figure out way to walk the razor's edge despite that, but when you're living in a million dollar New York apartment and have millions in inventory at your shop, his dire situation never felt that dire.

Compare that to James Caan's circumstances in The Gambler. With every bet, he put it all on the line and you knew it needed to payoff or he might not live to see another Blackjack table. As a result of that, the scene where Caan is sitting in the bathtub in his dingy apartment listening to the Lakers blow the game at the freethrow line has more tension than the entirety of Uncut Gems.

Also, maybe I'm a bit old school, but too many scenes break one of the older cardinal rules of filmmaking. Get your characters face-to-face. Sandler spends way too much fuckin' time on the phone and too many important plot points and discussions happen over the phone. Yes, I know phones dominate our world, but this is a movie. Watching actors on the phone or texting on the phone isn't compelling cinema.

I know what the Safdies were going for. A slow-burn, character driven gritty crime thriller in the vein of classic late-60s/70s neo-noir. But they miss the mark here. This is nowhere near the level of films like Point Blank, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, Charley Varrick, Straight Time, The Long Goodbye, Hardcore, and The Gambler. No clue why this was a critical darling. It's a capable thriller, but that's about it.

Survive the Night- INC

It starts of waaaaaay too slow and I fell asleep on it. I'll try again today and come back with a review.

Survive the Night- F+

Absolutely hot trash.

[lebomb]

Blood Ties - 2013 film of two brothers, one is a criminal and the other a cop. You can guess how this family reunion turns out. Anyhow, the movie stars Clive Owens , Zoe Saldana, Bill Crudup, Marion Cotillard, and Mia Kunis also have a part.

7.5/10

Not bad, not great. Good flick to watch if your wife and kids are out of town and you do not want to fap.

[Adam Lambert]

Persona: The Dark Truth Behind Personality Tests
3/10

The concerns about Myers-Briggs and Big Five personality tests are valid, especially when they're abused as hiring tools or relied upon too heavily for promotions. And there's some pretty creepy shit happening with facial analysis and interviews. Overall, a lot of worthwhile subjects are raised. But this HBO documentary gets bogged down in the history of the Myers Briggs authors from over 100 years ago and turns the emotional manipulation to 11 in the last 30 minutes.

[SpursforSix]

Boss Level - had good reviews but it was pretty average. Guy relives the same day over and over and has to solve something. 6/10

Boyhood - finally got around to this. It was OK. Good acting all the way around. 6.5/10

[spurraider21]

Yeah I can't stand Rami Malek. Not even in Mr. Robot.
he was fun in Bohemian Rhapsody

[Adam Lambert]

he was fun in Bohemian Rhapsody

Ugh that was the worst. Felt like a 90 minute SNL impersonation with a bad set of fake teeth. I hated that movie so much.

Adam Lambert will play himself in his own biopic and he will KILL.

[leemajors]

Gonna watch Psycho Goreman later, heard great things.

Juice - 7/10

Never saw this until now. Tupac's first movie performance, he's kind of awkward at first but when his character turns, it's a pretty good debut.

A lot of early 90's movies like this and Boyz in the Hood play like R-rated after school specials at times, but still an entertaining watch.

Wow..better late than never. I loved Juice as a kid and I agree, Pac pulled off a great performance. His co stars had some interesting takes on him after that role.

Black Box, Amazon Prime - 7/10

A Blumhouse production so I had to check it out. A psychological thriller that is very similar to a Black Mirror episode. Really interesting plot twist and kept my attention throughout.

[Adam Lambert]

South Central (1992) - 5/10

This shit is 100% on Rotten Tomatoes? Way overrated. Acting is terrible. The dude playing Loco goes full retard and spends the whole movie looking like he's about to start laughing at his own terrible acting. Good story though. Execution just not good.

[lefty20]

The Big Short - 9/10

Fuck Wall Street, tbh.

Watched this based on your recommendation. It was worth watching. I think it was probably tough condensing it into a movie in terms of length. Seems like it could have been a great mini series. 6/10. I took two points off because all the main actors were black. But I added a point for adding Mrs. Huxtable. Even though she was married to a sexual predator.

[Spurtacular]

btw ChumpDumper (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=153) where'd you get that "Alleged Michigander" title from?

I'm trying to get in the process of becoming an actual michigander, can you help me? :)

Pretty sure it's just a shitty joke that nobody besides him cares about.

Though he'll now desperately say I care for regarding the matter at hand.

Otherhood- 6/10

A movie about 3 women in their 50s-60s who feel neglected on mother's day because they're son's are just too busy to communicate with them anymore, so they decide to pop up at their respective houses and fuckery ensues. Nice movie to watch with your wife, g/f or partner tbh.

[ChumpDumper]

I did already. You're not letting anyone do anything either.

:lol see what I mean?

Also, you don't care, right?

[Blake]

It was like you. It tried too hard to be funny using tired shtick.

:lol see what I mean?

I see you leg humping. Par.

Why are you an alleged Michigander?

Eddie Murphy let you down? The world is just not right any more, is it?

I'll tell you if you admit you really care.

It seems you really want it to be an open inside joke.

Snydercut - 7/10... i watched it in black and white cause snyder said that was his vision. Now idk if it deserves a 7, but its definitely way better than the previous one. I'll see it again on saturday with friends in color and see if its worse or better.

update. saw it in color... 6/10. perhaps 5... i guess its worth watching if u like Zack Snyder movies. I aint returning to see this again.

[lefty]

The Devil Wears Prada

Never watched that movie before and I was bored so why not :lol


Not bad actually

Now you need to watch 'Don't be a menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood'.

The Wayan's clowning on the inmate savior guy is hilarious.

6.5/10

Watched that again last night :lol. That was a popular choice in high school. Still underrated.

[Blake]

I still chuckle at "Malibu's Most Wanted" with Jamie Kennedy

[RandomGuy]

Snyder Cut Justice League.

10/10, if you are a fan of the DC universe. Long, but wow. It does the kinds of character development that the original version threw out the window to have a "blow stuff up" movie, and is way more worth it.

[SpursforSix]

Eurovision Song Contest : The Story of Fire Saga

Pretty typical Will Ferrell movie where he cheeses it playing a straight role.

But it's not a bad choice if you just want to watch a mindless comedy and have a few laughs.

Maybe a 6.5/10.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Savages - 5/10

Very very low rent Sicario plot, except Del Toro is the bad guy here. But the characters are pretty dumb. Main characters are particularly stupid... what two guys share one girl? Seriously?

[benefactor]

Mad Max: Fury Road

Man I forgot just how great this fucking movie is. The world building is just :wow

9.5/10

[ViceCity86]

48 Hours starring Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy 9/10


What are you smiling at, watermelon? Your big move just turned out to be shit.

This sucks! A maniac gets ahold of my gun and runs all over the streets killin' people with it. So, instead of bein' where I oughta be, home in bed with my gal givin' her the high hard one, I'm out here doin' THIS shit: roamin' around the streets with an overdressed, charcoal-colored loser like you.

You're just a spearchucker with a number stencilled on the back of his prison fatigues!

You switch from an armed robber to a pimp, you're all set

My kinda place. I always liked country boys. They're sure as hell gonna like your Black ass.

Nigg-r watermelon. I didn’t mean that. Just doing my job. Keeping your Black ass down.


Let me explain one thing to you, Nigg-r I FIGHT DIRTY!

[cd021]

ZJ's Justice League-4.5/ 5-A lot better than the theatrical cut, a lot of the expanded scenes only help the move instead of hurt it. Pretty great final battle.



Batman Vs. Superman Ultimate Edition (Rewatch)-2.5/5- Curious to see if it was better after Justice League, it's not. Kind of a disaster. Needlessly dark and convoluted, cringey dialogue, over-the-top god references and Jessie Einseburg practically sinks the movie, himself, with how bad he is.

[SpursforSix]

Bridesmaids

Just was running on regular TV and I ended up watching the last half and then the first half (they ran it back to back). Until I watched it again, I really only remember the food poisoning scene which is as funny and wheels off as The Office, Fire Safety, intro.

But I forgot how funny the whole movie actually was. As far as funny chicks go, this has to be the most solid ensemble cast there's ever been.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Sicario II: Dia of the Soldado - 6.5/10 - a significant step down from the first movie which was a solid 9.5/10
