The movie you just watched

[DixonHur 11295]

If you're high or just want a stupid movie to watch I recommend Mindhorn.

It's a about a washed up actor who had a hit show 25 years ago playing a TV detective, who is called in to help on a real police case.

His police Liasson is played by Andrea Riseborough.

Main three characters are just awesome. I’ve watched it numerous times and each time it is fantastic.

I should have said “four” because William Powell was very good, too, as were (obviously) Cagney, Fonda & Lemmon.

Love this movie. William Powell was 63 at the time. He always made a great drinking character. 

[RPM 26318]

It was also Powell's final screen role. Nice way to cap off a career.

Just watched this and it was excellent. Woody, Sweet Dee & Cheech.

You wanna know what we lost when cgi got cheap enough they can use it for everything?

We lost movies like Ronin.  I love Ronin.  I just watched it again.

TCM hit a grand slam last night.....

Rio Bravo

The Big Sleep

Strangers On A Train

Back to back to back.

[Macanudo 12975]

The Tomorrow War.   Decent enough to have on in the background but it was a less than average movie.

[The Original Greaser Bob 2822]

Armageddon Time (2022)

James Gray is always solid.  This is solid.  

Via netflix DVD.  Fuck them and you.  I'm old school. 

[PittsburghTiger 6175]

Always liked this one. The appearance, at the end, by John Banner always made me smile.

[billfromlaketravis 11448]

The Pick Up Artist. 
 

Film crew tapes Robert Downey Jr working off his community service hours, and Molly Ringwald attempting to resuscitate her career. 
 

Good cast. Keitel, Christine Baranski, Aiello, Dennis Hopper, and Poppie as a mugger. Some Sopranos cameos as well, Paulie Walnuts and Lorraine Bracco. Sort of interesting mob angle. 

Let’s be honest. It’s not a very good movie, but any movie shot in 1980s New York fascinates me. Also, Atlantic City in 1987 looks crazy.
 

The real star of the movie of the movie is Hopper’s shirt stains.

Dirty Dancing. Baby’s sister is very jugged up. Turn your brain off and watch her while watching this POS with your significant other.

Also, Baby’s mom. Ain’t bad.

Banner played Schultz in Hogan's Heroes.

Sig Ruman played Schultz in Stalag 17, the character Bannon's role was based on. AFAIK this was they only time they were on screen together.

Yeah, I caught that as well. Kinda cool.

12 Mighty Orphans.  Decent movie.  Didn't enjoy Newman though.

Belfast. Kenneth Branagh is capable of making great movies.

Covenant.  Very well done.  Go see it.

I was living in Manhattan when they filmed that.  I came home from work one day and I couldn’t get home because they were filming right in front of the brownstone where I was living.  I always watch that whenever I can just so I can see that.  This was my block

This always makes me laugh. If any of you have daughters, sisters, or mothers who attended Catholic School it will make them laugh.

[GoPokes83 2240]

Iron Eagle!! Super cheesy but fun. Has a bunch of young actors you’d seen in other movies. MJ Fox’s buddy from Teen Wolf, Lamar from Revenge of the Nerds, cousin Oliver from the Brady Bunch, and a very young Jan from The Office as the star kid’s girlfriend. The kid’s high tech gimmick was a Walkman strapped to his thigh. My take away from this movie was that in 1986 fighter jets were so easy to fly that you could be an Ace after a couple of hours in an 8 bit simulator!

Road to Perdition  It's a John Wick prequel.  Prove me wrong.

I would not have guessed before last night that in his whole career Robert Duvall only won one Oscar.

Turns out he won best actor for Tender Mercies which I watched last night.

Good movie. Also won for best screenplay. Surprised Duvall won for that though.

We’re Oscar’s handed out for great acting instead of best ad campaigns to voters Duvall would have a closet full of them. I think he is the greatest actor I’ve ever seen; he is awesome in every role large and small. My favorite: E.F. in The Apostle.

We watch Bernie last night with Jack Black, Matt McC, and Shirley McClain.  We thought it was pretty entertaining.  Based on a true story in Carthage Tx, while it was on, I looked at imdb, wiki and other to find additional info.  Casting hit the nail on the head with Jack Black as Bernie.  I can't see anyone else doing that part.

I can not over emphasize how good The Apostle is.

When Robert Duvall hosted Saturday Night Live back in the day, they did a game show skit called Who's More Grizzled.  I really haven't been able to watch Duvall in a movie since because I always remember that damn skit when I see him and I lose my immersion.

The Emerald Forest. Probably haven’t watched it in 15 years.

Palm Springs (2020) 

It's pretty much a romcom made by the Lonely Island guys and stars Andy Samberg. Really funny and enjoyable to watch, the characters are heavily flawed people but lovable by the end. I don't want to spoil the plot, as I went in with no clue about the story, but it's worth giving it a chance. Lots of hilarious moments even if you don't like the characters.

That is a weird movie but entertaining as hell.

 

I watchted Black Legion last night with Humphrey Bogart.

From 1937

Man you talk about history repeating itself. Very topical even today and based on a true story.

[Vic Mackey 47012]

This was very entertaining. The banter was amazing,

It’s a very intense movie, and rare these days basically a filmed stage play, in black and white. It was probably very immersive on a big theater screen m, like you were in the living room with them as an uncomfortable guest. Taylor and Burton are so good in their characters though one has to think some of the volatility mirrored their real life. It’s certainly not a feel good rom com.

saw Great Gatsby on a flight. 
jeezus that thing is horrible, shallow, utterly pointless and gratuitous. 
 

i think the book was mandatory reading in grade school and possibly had some literary value examined through a critical lens. through a film lens it licks ass.

Basically a poor man's Groundhog Day, but I really enjoyed it as well.  JK Simmons is great as usual.

Disney made the movie, Miracle of the White Stallions, to commemorate this event.

One of my grandfathers was born in Vienna and in 1972 my father took my mom, and her father back to visit the homeland. They saw the Lipizzaner stallions on that trip. I’m not sure why I didn’t really know about this story but, it was an enjoyable film. Kids would enjoy it, too.

 

 

[billfromlaketravis 11448]

I watched the Verdict on HBOMax or Max or Discovery Max or Chip and Joanna Max. 

While I liked the film, I don't think it's a masterpiece. Just a good, solid early 80s legal drama. I think it have worked better if they shot the entire film in Boston and used locals. I understand the director Sidney Lumet set out to shoot all his films in New York City.  I'm sure the book delves into more, but the film doesn't really address how powerful the archdiocese of Boston was at the time. We just see a very serious archbishop in a funny hat talking to his attorney. There's just a hint that he has complete control of the city/hospitals/courts. 

The pacing was fine. Cinematography excellent. Newman and the supporting cast is great. It was fun to see Pops from Dirty Work in a serious role. Jack Warden had some moves. 

[RomaVicta 29902]

Seven Kings Must Die.

It's a movie sequel to The Last Kingdom which we enjoyed despite Utred's bizarre accent. Destiny is All!

The movie isn't really very good. The closing scene is rather moving, though.

I went back and looked at the cast credits because I sure didn't remember Bruce Willis being in that movie.

Watched Apple TV+'s Ghosted last night on the recommendation of a friend.  My friend is an idiot.

[UpperWestside 6161]

I should have posted this trailer for anyone who has not seen it yet. Several of my friends want to see this movie so I am probably going back again. Totally worth another viewing.
