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.
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.
7/10
A ctually I liked him as Batfleck, and I was super skeptical after the Daredevil debacle
For cable subscribers COX as a slew of free content this weekend thru the 17th.
Only 4 days so it's almost too much to consider.
Awakenings - 7/10
"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.
Oh, yeah, Media covered for him as he hid out till the coast was clear.
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.
LOL Yeah well that is a historically God ing Awful Movie.. Amazing so many people bought Tickets to Michael Bay Movies..Affleck is such a feast or famine actor. Pearl Harbor was on the other day and I watched some of it. Jesus he was horrible.
I like Ben the person and can empathize with his battle with alcohol
Cohesion
6.5/10
Mind trip of a movie
The only decent part in Zombieland: Double Tap bomb:::
Brightburn...surprisingly good. It's a Superman origin story but from the angle of him being evil. Well executed and had plenty of genuinely chilling moments. Could easily get a sequel.
8/10
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.
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 re ed 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 ing 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, ing 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 out of some kids, which was pretty funny. I was surprised they showed that in this vagina times.
The Wrong Missy- 8/10 hilarious movie
yeah that was it heh
it was worth a watch
The King - 7.5/10
pretty good acting by the boy wonder chalamet
sean harris was good too but after the recent MI movies you always sense he's the villain
Cheesy horror flick on Netflix called In The Tall Grass. My expectations were low but I gave it a chance because it was based on a Stephen King novella.
It was pretty bad. 3/10.
I’m 20 minutes into the Tom Hardy movie Capone and it’s a trainwreck. Might turn it off, couldn’t find a tier role for Hardy.
Bend over, you can have free cox this weekend too.
Dude...that was awful. Started off pretty funny and had a decent premise. But seemed like they were just writing the movie as they filmed it.
Escape From Pretoria
Two anti apartheid activists get thrown in jail. Two hours pretty much watching them make wooden keys for all the doors they need to get out of.
Boring.
3/10
