The Northman - 8.5/10

Brutal and beautiful.

Bend over. You know the rest.

[Blake]

Gonna check this out tonight. I'm trying not to over expect this movie being the best thing ever but these reviews coming in tho...

Eh. A little too ambitious without the Dr Strange MCU budget to back it up. The fight scenes didn't really flow and not enough dimensions visited really if you're gonna go there.

Racacoony was an lol the first time they showed it but then they beat that joke to death.

What I ultimately got out of this is that teenagers think the stupid shit they go thru is the end of the world while we have to deal with real shit.

Still processing it but I think I'll stick with 7/10.

It's a 10 for me. Loved it.

I saw it as all coming from the mom's perspective, so I didn't really feel that way about her daughter. The thing is, teenagers DO think the stupid shit they go through is the end of the world.

The Batman : 20/10

I thought it dropped a full grade on rewatch, even watching it in parts still feels like a labor. Not to mention the who stadium/floor sequence flies in the face of the Riddler's plans. Movie should have ended with the prison scene with Batman and Riddler with the end credits being the Riddler, Joker Arkam scene. Half an hour too long for no real reason.

The Northman - 8.5/10

Brutal and beautiful.
Yup. I also watched last night.

I really enjoyed based on how different it is than your typical Viking war film. On the flip side my buddy low on sleep at a 10pm+ showing was less enthusiastic.

One of the most spiritual films I've seen in a bit. Violence wasn't at a large scale super hero extent and I also liked this. Fortunately the theater was empty so we were able to discuss the story/dialog unfolding but I think the pace was just right and they pulled off the story.

Saw a preview screening of Top Gun Maverick.

It's big, dumb, predictable and fun. 8/10.

I don't have a lot of nostalgia for the original Top Gun, I know I've seen it but I don't remember much of it. So I'm sure I missed a lot of fan-service easter eggs, but wasn't really a problem.

Everyone is great in it but I don’t know what it would be without Kilmer. His best role imo. He steals the scenes. But what a fantastic cast. Weird that Wyatt Earp came out around the same time.

Fake news. D'Souza was convicted and spent 8 months in an ankle bracelet on house arrest for donating (barely) too much money to a GOP candidate in 2012. Five figures; a drop in the bucket compared to what Soros, Buffett and other BigDonors on the left get away with.

"Election felon" does not apply to D'Souza.

Horrible plot, horible cut and edit of the movie, acting meh, cgi and music ok i guess... Idk if theres anything i really liked.

[Thread]

Watched -Joshua- for at least the 3rd time last night. This is a flawless motion picture event from '07 with Rockwell & Vera Farmiga as the wife who gives birth to their second child, a daughter. This is the immediate trigger that gets child #1 (Joshua) activated, though from what we're shown his birth was no picnic. The production misses nary step in the evolution as the plot rolls on out. What is said and shown takes multiple viewings to get it all, but that is a pleasure not a chore. Get the DVD.

Dallas Roberts plays the wife's brother and does a fine job facilitating the events as they lodge. He's the conduit.

Michael McKean plays Rockwell's boss at the big league financial institution and he is lightning and pure Americans business wherever it dwells, make no mistake. Unbelievable.

The final sequence in Central Park is pure genius and one that stays with you long after the fade out as then (wife's brother) is fully cognizant (a slight shift of his gaze) of his involvement.

Heads up! I just found on the Paramount Channel/Cable that they're showing all the Godfather movies this weekend, even this new Godfather Coda thing from last year. It's on at 2:30AM early Sunday morning. It'll have a shit load of commercials, it's in a 3 and a 1/2 hour time slot, but if you have a DVR so what.

It is a fine book (I've read it twice and listened to the audio book once) that accompanies the film nicely; presents the story particulars, takes it from frankly a feeling of like squalor to what is presented then in '72 on screen and harms it none whatsoever. How that happens has never stopped puzzling me but it's true.

It's like "Jaws"---that book is sterling, but quite a change to what is ultimately presented in the cinema. Both have a place and mixed in the mind's eye is quality.

I'm kind of interested. Rockwell and Farmiga are usually great. Even if they don't always get the prime roles.

A little too long, and has hints of Clint’s “one take and let’s go to lunch” style which gives it a lack of polish, but it suits this movie well (as opposed to the Asians in Gran Torino or all of J Edgar). A true classic American western.

It's not bad but that seemed like a pity Oscar to me.

He's not a elite director or actor. That being said, I like 90% of what he's done. All the early western stuff was pretty great. And then the random one-offs he did...Every Which Way but Loose, Escape from Alcatraz, Heartbreak Ridge. In the Line of Fire, Absolute Power, and Blood Work were highly entertaining 90's films. Trouble With the Curve, Million Dollar Baby also. But Cry Macho was straight trash and an indication that he needs to be done.

Looking back, it was pretty weak from a Best Picture standpoint. I didn't see Howard's End but saw the others. My favorite of these is A Few Good Men. Scent of a Woman was fine but certainly not better. Crying Game was good in that it was different but not overly entertaining. It was probably pretty easy to say..."Clint's getting old. We need to get him one". Little did they know

Watched a gem of a movie this evening. -Under Suspicion- from 2000 with Gene Hackman & Morgan Freeman. Hackman is accused of being a pedophile murderer/rapist of 2 young girls in San Juan, PR.. Freeman is the lead detective. Top shelf plot and execution all along the line. Thomas Jane plays the hot headed detective and drives his scenes quite nicely.

Monica Bellucchi plays Hackman's wife and she is drop dead gorgeous here.

Hackman's speech late in the film about PR and humanity is quite an aside.

Both Freeman & Hackman were executive producers.

A flawless motion picture event.

Ambulance: 3/10

I saw this was added on Peacock and I was in the mood for a cheesy action flick, but this one was pretty bad. Michael Bay does a good job with the action scenes as always, but the characters are mostly unlikeable and the plot was pretty weak and ridiculously unrealistic. I also saw that The Northman was also added on Peacock, so I'll give that a watch next.

Documentary

The Man Nobody Knew (2011)

Amazon Prime

Do not watch if American history, Vietnam, and the CIA do not interest you.

Holy crap did I find this enlightening and powerful!
I had no clue all this went on with William Colby. I just heard of his name and thats mostly it.
I learned a tremendous amount. And the personal story is tremendous. This was a strange complex man.


There is absolutely nothing spectacular about this doc, except that it is super informative. Mind blown for me.

1. I wish Colby's son, the person who made this doc, would have put more names under the people who were in the film giving stories concerning his dad William Colby. (I guess I am supposed to know all the people's faces and I dont.)

2. I wish the film did not have such graphic violence and dead bodies during the Vietnam part. (ex. pulling bodies out of underground hiding spots and executions)

3. And I wish somebody would have mentioned this before as I was totally captivated; I was stunned by all of the details brought forth.
I also feel like I totally missed a whole segment of history even though I have watched a number of Vietnam and CIA documentaries.

Wow... I looked up the ratings it got by the supposed experts and it was highly rated. Then how audiences rated and it fell flat on its face.

And by God Im fkn gonna watch this again and keep track of who is who and look shit up.
Or I am gonna have to watch it with my father and have him give me lectures.
Too good for me not to put up with my father. Then Ill watch it again and look shit up.

"The King's Man"

Honestly, I thought the first one of the series was just ok while the second one was pretty stupid so I almost didn't bother watching this one.

The first thirty minutes of this movie is a drag and almost stopped there couple of decent twists made it entertaining enough to finish. I love WWI back drop but nothing memorable, nothing special in the end.

-This Is the Night- 2021

Moderately close to being something special when it WOKE half way thru and never recovered, augered in the rest of the way.

It is a Naomi Watts production (she also plays the mother) and concerns an Italian American family of 4/two sons on Staten Island in 1982 when -Rocky III- releases. It's a big deal on Staten Island, HUGE.

The eldest son has cross dressing issues that are not an excuse for frivolity. His mother helps him out.
The youngest son has a bully problem with a crush on his childhood dream girl. Dream girl helps him out.

Like I said it could've been something special but American film is a slave to the Left now...and here it is ruined.

I saw Elvis last week. I’m not a Baz Luhrmann fan so I was very hesitant to go and pretty much expected to hate it. But I enjoyed it!

First of all Austin Butler. He was perfect and just plain beautiful to look at. There were endless montages of genuine Elvis photos mixed in with Butlers recreations and it’s really hard to tell which you are looking at. It’s disappointing to me when the actors don’t sing their own parts but here they use a blend of Elvis and Butlers voices. Just sounds exactly like all the Elvis recordings we’ve all heard. I don’t know why they even bothered. The best musical number came from the guy who played Little Richard, but I don’t know if he sang it himself. In fact all the musical cameos by Little Richard, BB King, Sister Rosetta Tharp were excellently portrayed.

The movie was an endless music video clip montage with not much dwelling into Elvis personality. Which is exactly how I remember Elvis— just news clips of him getting in or out of limos surrounded by big crowds and lots of flash bulbs going off. No insight into his creative process at all, but then he didn’t write songs.

I wish they had explored Elvis and Priscilla more. They made it out to be a very loving relationship but not too specific. I was surprised to learn that Elvis started out as a family business that his parents guided until Col Tom Parker. And Tom Hanks was EXCELLENT as Col Parker. He was so ham handedly manipulative and Hanks plays it real cartoony, which I love. It is kind of more a Col Parker than an Elvis movie 6.5/10

From what I can catch on YouTube on this new Elvis movie is not encouraging. This kid does not remotely look like Presley and it's jarring. I'm used to the Kurt Russell 'E' who remains the definitive Elvis 40+ years on. Nobody has come close to Russell.

And I get tired of each 'E' programming stint I watch on the streams take apart the (Colonel) in order to wash Presley of his self destruction bent. It's wrong. He was a grown man who destroyed himself with drugs. Nobody else is responsible but Presley. I love Presley with all me heart, but he robbed himself, the people who depended upon him for their employment and us, his fans because he did drugs.

Hustle - This was way better than I expected. Obviously made for even non-bball fans to enjoy. But some great shots and good acting. Very enjoyable. 8/10

Usual Suspects - I may have seen this more than any other move. It was on TBS (or something) and it was impossible to watch because instead of even substituting works, they just cut the audio. I ended up watching it on Prime. 9/10.

Casino - 7.5/10. I used to think of this as a better movie. But I actually got bored through some of it which I don't remember doing before.

Heat - 6.5/10. Another movie I thought I liked better. The action scenes and robberies are great. But they spend way too much time on the relationships. Especially with Pacino, and his girlfriend, and her daughter. Also, with DeNiro and his girlfriend. They could have cut a lot of this out. I bet there's at least 45 unnecessary minutes.

Were the bored parts of Casino coinciding with Sharon Stone being on screen?

[benefactor]

:lol Im watching Casino for like 50th time right now

[SpursforSix]

Were the bored parts of Casino coinciding with Sharon Stone being on screen?

As a matter of fact, yes. The first time I saw it, I thought everything was great. And I like how they introduce her and show her scams. But man, I forgot how much time is spent on her.
When I re-watch a movie like Casino (or Heat), I'm just wanting to see the gangster shit. Not the relationships between the main characters and their love interests. I've already seen it once and that's enough.
It's why Goodfellows and The Departed are better imo.

Thor 6.5/10

Thor 6.5/10

I saw it last night. Pretty much agree with your rating. The first 80% of the movie was purely a slapstick comedy and then they tried to make the last 20% way too serious. It was a nice popcorn flick but definitely in the lower half of the MCU.

someone needs to ask questions, where all those 250M went. Also, stop making jokes every 5 seconds and keep your characters consistent. Every movie, these fucks act different.

Yeah..after the bank robbery, everything is downhill. I felt like they got locked into the DeNiro vs. Pacino having to go one on one. Even the earlier diner scene between the two is pretty cringey and unrealistic.
Not to mention, they should have busted them for breaking in for the platinum. Then try to tie them to the earlier bearer bond's shootout. But I'm OK with all that. But DeNiro being scott free with his chick and then going back to kill some insignificant POS goes against everything he's said and done.

The hyperbole with this movie is hilarious. It was a fun watch and that’s it. But the way people are gushing over it is insane. I think Bill Simmons said the Anthony Edwards performance where he just mumbles a few insults and plays basketball was somehow so charismatic that it reminded him of Tupac in Juice :lol

Thor Love And Thunder was such a mess lol. The first hour was godawful, just way too many bad jokes, told at the rapidfire pace of coked-out Mork & Mindy era Robin Williams. The stupid Korg backstory recaps were completely unnecessary and not funny. Screaming goats & the Guardians were also pointless and made the first 30 minutes feel rudderless. And fat Russell Crowe is the most disturbingly awful thing I’ve ever seen in the MCU.

But once they get to Gorr’s planet, the movie does a complete turnaround. Christian Bale says “give me the ball & get out of my way” and rescues the movie. The fight scene with the kids is one of the MCU’s most pure fun scenes. I loved the movie from that point on. I kind of wonder if at some point Feige told Taika to take a backseat and cool it with all the jokes, because the tonal shift is jarring, but absolutely welcome in my opinion.

This was the MCU’s “Patriots come back from a 28-3 deficit” movie.

First half - 1/10
Second half - 9/10

Overall I give it a 6/10 because the final act is so good.

Elvis - 8/10
Baz Luhrmann's direction (and Tom Hanks doing a Dutch accent in a fat suit) took a while to get used, to but Austin Butler was really good throughout and I liked the musical choices. Taken as a representation more than a literal retelling of Elvis' career and life, it's one of my favorite biopics I've seen in a while.

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On - 7/10
Never heard of this before yesterday. I figured it would be more of a Pixar-ish kids movie, but it's definitely a more introspective adult movie and I think kids would be bored by it. Doesn't necessarily go anywhere, at times feels like a 90-minute therapy assignment for the director, but it's enjoyable and original and I'm glad movies like this can still be made.

I give it 6/10. Bland, way too long, and got bored in sections, especially during the whole Christmas special sweater thing that dragged.

And much like the colonel hogged Elvis and his fortune, I thought Tom Hanks hogged too much of the movie.

[SpursforSix]

I watched "Spursforsix Fucks Andy's Mom in the Butt #25". It's still good but it's really redundant after "Spursforsix Fucks Andy's Mom in the Butt #6". The male lead seems disinterested from that point on.

so... watched Encanto.

probably one of the better disney movies thats come out in a while. couple of the more catchy songs in disney history imho.

plot underwhelmed in that the grandma got let off too easy considering she was basically the primary antagonist. good family movie tho, and for what it is, probably a solid 9/10

Felt like I was watching a caricature of young black males in that movie. Watched it a couple of weeks back and still felt the same. I think John Singleton did a way better job in Boyz N the Hood where Dough, Monster, Dooky, Lil Chris, and the rest of the crips in it seemed like authentic people. Menace II Society felt like it could have been written by Tucker Carlson to scare white people or something.

much better than the previous dogshit of a film, but still id describe this as mehh. The dialogue was horrible. Id rather have them speak in the native language. Don't know why have the French speak in their language and then the Indians speak English. Some of the action scenes looked nice, but most of them are pretty forgettale. Some of the CGI also pretty bad, but thats ok, cause at least they didn't spend 200M like a Marvel movie... anyway, probably the 4th best predator movie.

Britain's 1984 answer to The Day After. Much lower budget but much more effective in that it covers more time after a nuclear attack, is based on government studies of those attacks and plans to handle them, and has a very close-cropped, semi-documentary style that really ratchets up tension and makes up for the effects that were impossible to show in such a program.

RRR - 6/10

A solid Indian action film. I am not really a big fan of Indian cinema (mostly cause of musical numbers in them), but i did enjoy this. Its actually close to a 7. It is 3h long and it does drag a little in the middle, but theres much more positives than negatives. There are like 5 music scenes in there and i guess they fit in pretty well, but idk, im just not a big fan of that in the middle of a scene. The cgi on the animals is also pretty mehh, while the other action scenes were shot very good. There's also no real physics in this movie, so you can see lots of impossible stuff, which kinda reminded me of the chinese cinema with all their rope flying stuff. Actors were all good. Now i noticed pretty clearaly that the movie was dubbed in post, especially with the british cast. I dont know if thats just the version of the film i saw or if its normal. Oh, and if you dont like the British Empire, i guess this movie is for you.

[Spurminator]

Nope. Meh. 6/10

Pacing was bad, and the lead character was basically a vegetable throughout the movie who didn't react to anything happening around him the way a normal human would. I don't know if Jordan Peele's gotten cocky but some of his worse instincts need to be reigned in before his next movie.

Seems like everything he's done for a while has been a sequel of Taken. I like him in general but to me, he's one of the most unlikely actors to become an action hero.
He played Oskar Schindler for god's sake. And Rob Roy and Michael Collins. Kinsey. He has a ton of various nominations. I don't know if I can think of any actor selling out as much as he has.
Here's some of his upcoming movies.

Retribution : A bank executive receives a bomb threat while driving his children to school that his car will explode if they stop and get out.
Charlie Johnson in the Flames : A political thriller about an American journalist who travels to Africa to hunt down a murderous Colonel and bring him to justice.
Cold Storage : A virus stored in a government facility gets out and wreaks havoc on the world.
Thug : An aging San Pedro gangster attempts to reconnect with his children and rectify the mistakes in his past, but the criminal underworld won't loosen their grip willingly.
In the Land of Saints and Sinners : In a remote Irish village, a damaged Finbar is forced to fight for redemption after a lifetime of sins, but what price is he willing to pay? In the land of saints and sinners, some sins can't be buried.

I'm sure some will be enjoyable but likely not memorable.

For sure. I remember bad stuff happening but for some reason never really paid attention. You hit all the nails...planning, logistics, water, food, security.
And the lack of all that just fueled the nightly closing banks. It's pretty telling that Fred Durst didn't even give an interview for this. A far cry from what Woodstock was supposed to be about.

I watched it recently too. Jesus what a disaster. I was in high school when it happened and I saw some of it on the news but I didn't realize the scope of how much actually happened.

Out of Time- 4/10

Queen Latifah is a single mom moving her 2 kids across the country with her brother played by Ludacris. Along the way they get involved with the cartel and a crooked cop and Latifah turns into the Equalizer. Horrible movie. Its one of those movies you can't turn off because its so bad its funny.

I somewhat agree. I wouldn't call the Dehomey and Oyo tribes barbaric considering they were two of the richest kingdom's in that time. I do think the studio definitely made this feel more like Wakanda rather than an authentic time piece.

Eh I guess by "barbaric" I really meant "savage". I don't recall seeing one animal. Not even a rando giraffe

[DMX7]

Felt like I was watching a caricature of young black males in that movie. Watched it a couple of weeks back and still felt the same. I think John Singleton did a way better job in Boyz N the Hood where Dough, Monster, Dooky, Lil Chris, and the rest of the crips in it seemed like authentic people. Menace II Society felt like it could have been written by Tucker Carlson to scare white people or something.

Samuel L Jackson should have played a much bigger role in this film. Frankly, he should play a much bigger role in every movie he's in. Great actor!

Sideways...Paul Giamatti is excellent as usual. Everything works about this movie.

9/10

The French Connection

Always heard how good this was. 1971 movie with Gene Hackman as Mickey Doyle tracking a heroin dealer in NYC.
It was hard to watch. The directing and editing were terrible. And the story wasn't that compelling. At least the way they told it.

One of the funnier scenes is when a sniper on top of a 6 or 7 story building shoots at Hackman while he's on the ground. Hackman runs up to the top, then looks down and sees the sniper running away. The next scene is Hackman exiting the building and somehow only being 100 yards or so behind the running sniper.

3/10 at best

Midnight Express

Haven't watched in a a while. Based on true story...young American gets busted for trying to smuggle hashish back from Turkey. He's sentenced to 4 years for possession. When he's 58 days short, they change the sentence to 30 years.
Pretty horrifying situation. Well done movie.

While I'm fine with her acting, if she is the *next big thing* it will simply be more Hollyweird casting couch b.s.

I mean...it's like a lot of 80's movies. They weren't necessarily cheesy at the time. Especially considering they were made for teenagers and young adults. But yeah...none of that holds up today.

I'd always heard how awesome The Great Escape is so I finally watched it over the weekend. It's cheesy as hell and it's widely recognized as a great movie.
I had to make myself finish it.

Great Escape - 5/10

Hellraiser 2022 - 3/10
I expected this to be way more creepy. Some Cenobites look nice, but other than that pretty generic horror movie, if i can even call this a horror, cause i didnt find anything scary. I also was hoping all the characters would die, cause they were pretty annoying and dumb. Id still rather watch the original, as it had a much better atmosphere.

Bullet train - 4/10
The only thing i liked about this was the 2 brother characters. The whole movie also felt like a wannabe Guy Ritchie movie, but with a lot more Michael Bay idiotism in it, especially the finale of the movie.

Northman 6/10
Well shot, nice visuals, nice sets, well acted, actually felt like a theater performance at times, but also very generic revenge story. It could also have been shorter for at least 20 minutes. The love story was whatever, the twist with the mom not loving her son was nothing special and the action scenes looked way too choreographed and slow.
I guess i expected more from the director that made Lighthouse, but i also hear he had problems with the studio, so we never really got to see his cut of the film.

Pretty much had me on the edge of my seat the whole movie. No real jump scares, the fear often came from wondering if a new scene was something the demon was doing or if it was a hallucination from Sosie Bacon's character.

Adam Sandler and Juancho Hernangómez.

1/2 good and 1/2 meh.

Queen Latifa as Sandlers wife was a pathetic cast. Some woke b.s. must have inspired that attempt. No true chemisty at all.

Halloween Ends 4/10
I think i gave the previous one the same grade, but i guess this one was a little better. So perhaps its a 5 or that one was a 3. Anyway, i actually didnt mind the fact that this is kinda a different halloween movie with not a lot of Michael in it and the parts with him are kinda the weakest for me.
I also hope they dont make another one for at least 10 years now. Just give it a rest.

[Texas_Ranger]

Deadstream 5/10
This is a pretty solid horror comedy. It actually starts as pretty creepy and you think its gonna be something like a Blair Witch Project, but then it goes bat shit crazy and it becomes more like Ash vs Evil Dead. It also takes place in just one house and most of the time you spend looking at the guy's face. Id say the main guy is overacting, but he is a weird youtuber guy, so i think that was pretty accurate. Perhaps it would have been better if the whole movie was scary and not funny, cause when it becomes funny, i lost all that creepy vibe and watched it more as a comedy. Anyway, id still reccomend this, especially for the halloween season.

pretty dumb concept. Falls in the category of B-list fake sci fi.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Charlie St. Cloud (2010) - 5/10

at least this one had a good ending, but the whole ghosty concept with the kid brother was weird and stupid. Just a B-movie that's touchy feely and the decent ending gives an otherwise mediocre movie a slight last minute boost

[ChumpDumper]

The Fastest Woman on Earth (2022) 7.5/10

Points knocked off because it started as a fluffy documentation of the women's landspeed record attempt and continued to be almost completely uncritical. Howevah, it is really beautifully made and shows how serious and methodical this enterprise and the people involved are given it's largely DIY -- e.g., the car used is basically an old supersonic fighter jet with its wings removed. It had some nice background material including a previous record holder who deserves her own documentary. The GoPro footage of the speed runs is compelling -- including the final run.

This might be part of the last gasp of good stuff from HBO Max before Discovery potentially ruins it. Have to wait and see.

Really if they had just stuck to the book it would have been 10/10. Definitely well made -- probably the best overall depiction of western-front WWI -- but the screenwriters somehow didn't have faith in an all-time classic? Progressively unravels if you read the book and actually undermines some of its main themes; I think only one critic whose review I've read actually has read it. Worth watching but ultimately disappointing.

Just not nearly as good as the epic first one in 2015 which was a 9.75/10. The opening 15 minutes or so were great, but the second half of the movie plot just lacked intensity and was harder to follow than the first one by a mile.

It's on my list. For some reason, I can't get past the idea that I don't want to spend 1 1/2 hours committed to a movie but will watch a couple episodes of a series that I give up on.

The Barbarian - HBO Max

Horror flick about a girl that rents an Air B&B. Crazy stuff ensues.
Had great reviews for a horror film so I checked it out.
Very well done. Maybe a couple of "Don't go in there / don't do that" moments.
But a pretty fresh concept. The HBO version said it included additional scenes so it ran for two hours.
Shows as a 1:42 on RT. There was definitely about 15 minutes of unnecessary scenes.

7/10 (which for me it very rewarding for a horror movie)

[Spurminator]

yeah...to some degree. I also think maybe they painted the chick as a good person and that was just her character. I don't want to give too much away. Hard to talk about the movie without doing so.
But I liked it a lot. Hard to find a decent horror movie and this one was more than that.

Im Westen nichts neues - 8/10
I did not see the previous, quiet on the western front, movies and didnt read the book, so idk what to expect, but damn, this is one of the better war movies. Surprised its on netflix.. anyway, great acting, great locations, pretty solid effects and battle scenes. The only thing that bothered me was the music which kinda felt out of place. This also would go nice with the 1917 movie.

Beast
Looked like a decent suspense movie with Idris Elba stuck in some part of Africa being hunted by a lion. Wasn't expecting anything special. But it was awful.
Elba was terrible. A large part due to the material. But the dialog sounds like they were just making it up on the spot. Especially during the lion scenes.

Yup, I remember watching that one right as it came out. Gave me nostalgia for the brief couple months I lived in NYC and rode the MTA. But other than that the plot was kind of iffy and as you said, lost suspense down the stretch. 6.5/10 better than the average movie that comes out though.

The Fabelmans - 7.5/10

It’s more interesting than entertaining. Watching young Spielberg making home movies is awesome. The actor playing him is fantastic, as are all the kids. Judd Hirsch is awesome in a small role. Same with David Lynch in easily the best scene of the film. Seth Rogen is Seth Rogen.

And there’s a ton of praise in reviews for Paul Dano and Michelle Williams, but I actually thought they were both mediocre. Paul Dano is trying to play quiet strength, but he just comes across as flat and emotionless half the time. And on the opposite end, Michelle Williams is going for gold in the Overacting Olympics, and trying to beat out the Julianne Moore Magnolia performance for the most over-the-top hysterical woman in a film.

You can feel the love Spielberg had putting this movie together, but he focuses way too much on the parents in the first half of the film. It’s probably necessary for the second half to pay off, but it feels like homework getting through it. But he absolutely nails the climax. Not a must watch in theaters, but I’m still glad I saw it.

Bullet Train - meh. Was just OK. I'm not convinced Brad Pitt is a great actor. He was irritating as f in this action/comedy movie.
6/10

Vengence - Written, directed, and starred in by B.J. Novak (Ryan from the office). This was incredibly well written. About a podcaster from New York who is doing a show based on a murder in west Texas. He goes out there with preconceived ideas that of course get changed. I was just looking to kill some time but this was a pretty great movie. Novak is going to be huge imo.

The Menu - I don't go to the theater often but we were bored and this looked like it would be fun. It has a great premise but in the end, it just goes off the rails. Good cast and very stylish. But for me, it goes off the rails too fast.
6/10

Nope - Jordan Peele show about an alien. It's OK. Wasn't a bad story. Acting was good although one of the characters irritated the f out of me. A lot of, "why did you do that?" moments. One of the backstories was maybe the most interesting thing about it.

Causeway - Jennifer Lawrence and Bryan Tyree Henry (Paper Boi from Atlanta)
Lawrence comes back from Afghanistan and has some issues and becomes friends with Henry. Set in New Orleans. The acting is great and believable. But it's slow and depressing at times. I stuck it out because I like Lawrence and Henry but I didn't really get much out of it.
5/10

Under the Dirt - Low budget about two dudes in an apartment complex that witness some supernatural events. Looked promising but it was pretty self indulgent and was all over the place. Was hoping it'd be something like Primer but it fell well short of that.
5/10

X - Horror film about some people going to shoot a porno on a farm. Had good reviews so I checked it out. It's very well done but in the end, it's just a slasher pic. Although it does have a little deeper context.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things - surreal movie about relationships and time. Stars Jessie Buckly (Fargo) and Jesse Plemons. Acting is great and the story isn't bad but it drags on and it's too weird for it's own good.

For sure.

The one big plot hole I kept thinking about was that her close friends and family said, "she didn't even take Advil". Which I get that they're trying to shield her. But the Mexican drug dude said the exact same thing. So it's pretty unbelievable that her brother would have been able to call the Mexican guy and convince him to say that. When it's in his best interest to just tell the truth.

Other than wonder woman 1, DC just does not get what character development and story telling means. Dr Fate is too great of a character to be treated like this.

We had fun watching it even though the DECU makes absolutely zero sense if you even try to think about it. They were setting up the Kandaqi kid to be the next Dr. Fate with his third act getup. I was surprised they didn't close the deal in an end credit scene.

EDIT: I think in classic Warner fashion, the suits wanted to hedge their bets because Pierce Brosnan was such a strong presence in the movie. A deleted end credit scene shows someone unknown picking up Fate's helmet (my theory is it's Amon); its tacked on disintegration leaves the possibility of bringing Brosnan back comic book style.

Brosnan was perfect in the role. I thought Hodge was terrific as Hawkman. They should have spent 15-20 minutes on their background together coming in. Especially with those two lackey heroes they brought along for a few goof ball scenes.

I thought the movie had potential to easily be a 7 or 8, especially with a $200 million budget
