As to the Sopranos, you can't just "get out". At least that's what all the other movies tell us.
Emily the Criminal 6/10
Of course you've got to suspend reality a bit when watching a crime drama.
After her 2nd criminal assignment, in which she almost gets killed and is really quite lucky to have not been seriously roughed up or killed.....for her to accept only 2 grand for the job (stole a luxury car) and put up with the ass s that sent her was too far a bridge. Ya the movie continues on and one of the 2 s actually starts *helping* her.
Ending is good in the sense that finally someone who gets a good chunk of loot illicitly goes abroad and lives a fat life on the lam. That's what always kills me about the Sopranos, etc. Once you reach X level of cash, why not GTFO and go to some foreign land and live the life.

But you can.
All this about how 'they will find you and they will kill you' Ha!
Follow the story about the real life Tony Soprano that the show was based upon. ing ratted out the entire family, their mothers and anyone else he could think of. Got some sweetheart witness protection gig. Now check this, he buys a strip club in Dallas area and goes there on the regular! How the F did not someone from the Italian mafia not take him out. Was supposedly known to all where he lived, that being some gated community. Pssssh those are so easy to breach.
^ Said Dallas. Was actually Houston.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special: 3/10
Batista was the only funny person in this one. Thankfully it was only around 45 minutes long.
Yeah, they made the mistake of making the supporting characters more compelling than the main one -- especially with all the unreliable narration. There are apparently several deleted JSA scenes because they were taking focus away from Black Adam and Johnson. It would be nice to see the characters again; they better act quick with Brosnan.
Has anyone checked out the new Jack Scrotum film? I'm hearing a lot about it.
Spoilers
Don't Worry Darling HBO 2022
6/10
Matrix / Inception combo
Only caught the last 45 minutes, but apparently that is plenty to get the story.
Props for super realistic looking 1950s sets.
Ending is like WTF did she make it out or not?

You mean the Jack Russell scrotum? The guy who makes the canine movies concerning infections?
Emancipation- 3/10. I thought it’d be therapeutic to watch Will Smith get lashed, but the writing is terrible. It tries so hard to tug on your emotions that by the end you don’t give a what happens. The film turns into a laughably bad black Braveheart at the end.
Smile 5/10
Haven't watched it yet but surprised Batista is the only funny one
Drax is usually super unfunny
Drax was really funny in the first one where Bautista is playing him serious the entire time and the writers gave him ridiculous lines to say. Volume 2 and the Avengers movies where Bautista is playing him super goofy, it gave him the opposite effect and he was really unfunny and lame.
Palm Springs is like a mid-century modern time capsule. They don't deserve that much props for what is already there.
I was gonna say that looks like an existing setting.
As to inside, wonder if the studio just paid a couple geezers off to vacate for a month and didn't have to spend much on interior decorating.
Sweet Home Carolina - 5/10
Not as good as the Sweet Home Alabama movie.
Saw Devotion the other day and thought it was a very solid 8/10, loved the flying scenes. Trying to watch A Christmas Story Christmas right now and so far seeing Ralphie grow up to be a up isn't very fun like the original was though.
Wait, there was a sequel?Who are the cast and directors/producers compared to the original, though?
They recast Ralphie with Chaz Bono, more SJW casting smhWait, there was a sequel?
I think it's the same Ralphie. It actually got a bit better in the end after being horrible the first 30 minutes or so. Still not great though and only watched to the end for nostalgia.Wait, there was a sequel?
Seriously? That's stupid if true
Peter Billingsley? Because the guy above you told me it was Chaz Bono.
Yeah it’s def Chaz Bono
Definitely a nostalgia trip more than a good movie.
Casting all of the same child actors from the original was the right thing to do for the nostalgia, but definitely handicapped the quality in terms of acting. Hard to really care much about that though. I'd watch it again.
So much virtue signalling in that movie, tbh. The Scut Farkas and Randy wedding, having Ms. Shields show up in class as Mr. Shields, the whole family organizing a climactic Black Lives Matter march in Hohman... Just too much.
