The movie you just watched

[RPM 26316]

Flight of the Intruder - I know a lot of people crap all over this film, but I love it. May be my favorite Willem Dafoe role. Definitely my favorite Brad Johnson role. Devil 505 signing off. Alpha. Mike. Foxtrot.

[Monster 219]

Watched Fahrenheit 451 reboot. 

Was bracing for a lot of philosophy and predictable plot...and while that was the case, it was very up-to-date.

There was an excellent scene in the middle, where Michael Shannon explains why books are being burned which was surprisingly relevant.   (Offended groups calling for bans of specific books at first--racially and gender insensitive works...which snowballed into 'lets just get rid of them all, since people are getting upset and thinking hurts our feelings')

So, not sure its a movie I'd recommend, but that scene was very effective.

Warrior.  Two great actors in a paint-by-numbers film.  Not sure what to think if it.

I am in the same boat.  I would for sure recommend for the acting though.  The overall story between the brothers and dad is great.  The fight sequences and the MMA based plot is ridiculous though.  Not even coming from a MMA fan who I imagine finds it unwatchable.  Even the nonchalant sports fan can see right through it. 

[Bash Riprock 1695]

Isle of Dogs was fantastic.

[Captain Ron 12866]

Spider-Man Homecoming. Been catching up on the MCU movies as I fell behind. Saw Thor 3 and Black Panther already, now just Avengers 3 and Ant-Man/Wasp to go.

[Continental Op 3934]

Tourist Trap - Chuck Connors owns an abandoned wax museum.  Some young people have car trouble and wander in.  Most of them get killed.  

[kopp0e 1135]

Two of my all-time favorite movies: 

Friday the 13th part 8 - Jason Takes Manhattan...

A Nightmare On Elm Street part 3 - Dream Warriors...

 

[notre dame joe 186]

The Masque of the Red Death by Roger Corman.  Pretty lame acting.  The sets were marvelous but Vincent Price didn't feel like trying.

Bell, Book & Candle

With the lovely Kim Novak

 

 

1958 was a good year for her. Bell, Book, and Candle with James Stewart preceded by starring with Stewart in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. Two movies for which I associate Kim Novak (and women in general) with the color green.

LA Story:    So good, a little dated, if you haven't seen it, you should.

[RPM 26316]

Where Eagles Dare - Classic war/spy flick. Probably my favorite Richard Burton film. Eastwood was on the way up. The only real drawback is the horrible British soundtrack.

[PittsburghTiger 6175]

Last night, and I am sorry I did watch.

I Spit on Your Grave 2

WED soundtrack is fantastic.

[Incredulity 11650]

The Last Jedi.  Not a fan.  So many cringeworthy pieces of dialogue and moments.

 

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Blade Runner 2049.

Loved it.

[tantric superman 4667]

Tully (2018).  For those of you guys who haven't had kids, 1st hour is worth watching.  Movie as a whole didn't cut it but the "what a mom goes through" scenes were pretty horrifying.

May cause you to not have kids.

Excellent movie and one of my favorites.

[RPM 26316]

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - Good little film. Interesting story and a talented cast. My only complaint was the ending sucked. Did they give up or just get tired of writing a good script?

MOTY for me. I've already rewatched several times. It's worth it to watch on the best a/v setup you can find (and not just because of ADA). Luv is an awesome character, much more complex than she seems at first.

[Continental Op 3934]

Animal Crackers.  The Marx Brothers are wasted on me.  A few laughs here and there but otherwise a chore to sit through.

You have my sympathy. I love the Marx Brothers. Duck Soup is one of my all time favorites.

I think it was meant to be vague.  I also watched it Saturday night - love that HBO Film of the Week.

Ending to me basically was - anger will always beget more anger, but at least you can try to do something good with it.

Watched Interstellar for the 2nd or 3rd time.  Really enjoy the movie for what it is, but also enjoy the theoretical physics it is based on.  Very intriguing stuff.  

[52-80 19147]

Kingsman Golden Circle.  Total turd of a movie, and the 1st one was overrated.

 

For a slick, fun, brainless british-spy-thriller The Man from UNCLE is superior

[RPM 26316]

Man from U.N.C.L.E. was only 1/3 british. You could make a case for 1/2.

[Parliament 14239]

Spectre.  At 1st glance it looks like a weak companion to Skyfall.  Kinda sucky from the train scene, through the desert lair and back to London.  Then it gets good again.The actors playing Bond, Moneypenny, M and Q have great chemistry and it turns into a great ensemble movie when Bond gets back to London.  No way Mendes can out-Skyfall his 1st effort.  So take it another direction.  Make it an ensemble movie from start to finish.  No Bond movie has done that.

Siege of Jadotville on Netflix. Great story about Irish UN troops in the Congo in 1963 holding out against a large army of mercenaries. The heroism was downplayed for political reasons.

Very, very solid movie. 

 

+ rep for this.  I had never heard of this incident.  Read up a little bit on it before watching the movie.  Terrific little film.

[RPM 26316]

Haven't actually watched this one in a while, but the Siege of Firebase Gloria is a pretty good little Vietnam War movie with R. Lee Ermey doing his thing.

[EvilCaseMcCoy 691]

The Full Monty

Had never seen it, but it was on HBO so figured I'd give it a watch.  It moved slow but there were a few chuckles.  I had to turn on cc because I cant understand british people. 

[tantric superman 4667]

Helvetica (2007).

I don't think I've every enjoyed a documentary as much as this.  Just perfect.  A topic that you don't think would interest you that just pulls you in and holds you hostage.

Godfather II. Again. Hard to believe based on the other thread that there are people over say 25, especially men, who haven't seen it.

That is basically a real life Archer movie.

[Chewbacca 7766]

Finally saw 3 Billboards.  Great movie, but not what I was expecting.

[Continental Op 3934]

The Meg.  It is as big and loud and dumb as one would hope a movie about a giant shark eating stuff would be.  

[Judge Roybeanbag 11819]

The Duel.   Kind of a ripoff of Blood Meridian but was pretty good.   

[TexTexTex 104]

Brimstone.  Pretty slow, pretty depressing, but overall a good movie.  Guy Pearce plays an awesome bad guy

Saw that a couple months back, and I fully agree with your take on Pearce.  

[Jerry Callo 8698]

From time to time, I like to watch a movie that I know nothing about.  Sometimes I'm disappointed, sometimes not.  This morning I watched The Book of Henry - was not disappointed.

[Continental Op 3934]

Blood Feast.  It's a classic.  All hail Ishtar! 

[RamjetFDO 10575]

The Meg.  It is as big and loud and dumb as one would hope a movie about a giant shark eating stuff would be.  

Yup. Big, dumb, and loud.

But I had some good popcorn, so there's that.

My kids made me take them to Slenderman.

They liked it.....I thought it was worthless.

I remember making a mental note to watch this again. Great movie.

Right now watching IT.  Not that impressed.  Stephen King stuff has never really caught my attention the much.  The Shining yes, but since then, meh.

Stand By Me?  Green Mile?  Shawshank????

Chef

It’s not perfect but I love it.

[Js1 85275]

Murder on the Orient Express was a perfectly fine Sat night HBO popcorn movie. I would not have paid $12 to see it at a theater though 

[Tired of Lurking 637]

This was wayyyyy cooler than I expected it to be. 

[Dbeasy 15042]

Itonya was solid. One weird thing. They made Margo actually less attractive than the real Tonya. Weird.
