Just watched the OG movie Wallstreet (1987) directed by Oliver Stone. I always knew the “Greed is good” line but that was about it. I think the highlight for me was John C McGinley. That’s about the best thing I can say for a film that aged like warm milk.

[Parliament 14295]

Yeah that movie kinda insists on itself.

[RPM 26353]

Saturday Night. Pretty, pretty, pretty good. I want sequels damnit!

Finally got around to showing the 11 y/o the Three Amigos and I swear I've never heard him laugh as much during a movie, maybe in any 100 minute window of his life, than that movie. I've seen it a billion times but to see him watch it for the first time ever was incredible.

He wants to teach the 5 year old the amigo salute. 

He wanted to run it back tonight and watch another comedy similar to that, any ideas on what I could introduce him to? We watched Bill and Ted, which he liked but figured there gotta be other options. Mentioned earlier he is a huge horror fan but not sure if there are "age appropriate comedies" for him before I turn him loose on the Porkys, Hardbodies, revenge of the nerds movies.

 

Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure?

Flipping around last night, I caught about the last 3/4 ths of Lethal Weapon. Movie holds up well. Danny Glover steals the show. Now I want to rewatch Predator 2. 

Lethal Weapon 2 was on after. Doesn't hold up. Couldn't make it through the first chase scene. 

 

 

[RPM 26353]

This is definitely on the list.

ROBOT T-0

 

When a desperate mom and her daughter encounter an outdated robot, T-0, their reluctant alliance becomes their only hope in a world dominated by household robots.

In the near future, robots are in every household, at the service of humans, replacing them in their daily chores.  40 years old Max, unemployed, and her daughter Paula struggle to earn their living.

Great movie, but subtitled.   See it if you get a chance.  I expect it'll end up on Netflix or some other streaming service.

 

 

[Pokoloco 1282]

Just watched Woman of the Hour on netflix. I like true stories, wish it would've been a series instead on a one off. 

[austingirl 2192]

Emilia Perez. The acting was great, especially Zoe Saldana and Karla Sofia Gascon, but I didn't love it overall because of the musical thing. I'm not really into musicals in general, but I heard great things about this movie and wanted to check it out. It'll get a lot of awards, but it wasn't for me.

I watched this movie for the first time a couple months ago. Just couldn't get into it and thought it was ok at best. Just wasn't my thing

My daughter wanted me to watch it with her because Selena Gomez was in it.  We both enjoy musicals so that wasn’t a problem for us.  I will say that the musical aspects we not your typical movie musical components. The majority of the movie was in Spanish with subtitles which I thought would cause my daughter to lose interest, but it really seemed to help keep her interest.  I’m not sure that I can say that I really enjoyed the move, but more that I found it really fascinating and interesting.  I was very surprised that it held my daughter’s interest for the entire movie and it also sparked some discussion between us.  On the whole, I’m glad we watched it and would recommend it.

Also, Zoe (who also plays the head of the Lioness Program) is very watchable.

Not your typical Selena Gomez vehicle, but I thought she was great in it.

Waiting (2005).  Posting while watching it.  It seems like a team of writers passed it around.  I could do without the genital shots.  The characters seem strangely dedicated to that restaurant. 

[Parliament 14295]

The sequesl is underrated.

[Goredho 17419]

My teenage kids convinced me to go see Smile 2 with them at the theater.  Great flick that is as much psychological thriller and pop culture commentary as it is a horror movie.  Has a telegraphed but still pretty devastating ending.

[mdmost 43048]

Oldest and I watched this last night. Top 5 movie for me. She really enjoyed it. 

I believe in America!

“Transformers One.” It’s the origin story of the Autobots that’s been missing. The prequel that delivers you from the early friendship between Orion Pax and Megatron to the war between Autobots and Decepticons. Animation was a concern going in, but it is at or near the top of the franchise for me. We left the theater ready for the future stories. If you’re a Transformers geek, you’ll love it.

Fantastic movie. 
 

those last battles was intense. 

edge of my seat 

[Incredulity 11683]

American Fiction 

Loved the first hour.  Siblings storylines along with aging mother were heart pullers.  Ended a bit scattered.  Wright is a solid actor.

[dogbreath 434]

Le deuxième souffle (Second Wind). Dense movie directed by Melville of a betrayal in a criminal heist. No happy endings for these guys, but the small details make it interesting. The acting was good especially the main character as the mouse and the police inspector as the cat.  Never thought I’d see a movie where pétanque was a key to the story.

Inexplicably Chuck Norris is a huge deal with the middle schoolers in our town. My kid and her lil pals were watching Sidekicks and I told them the only reason this Chuck Norris gem exists was because Mattress Mack had a shit ton of money and decided to see what it was like to make a movie.

[RPM 26353]

Side Out - 1990 The only reason to watch this movie is a ridiculously hot Courtney Thorne-Smith in a bikini and it's a DAMN GOOD reason.

I'm guessing you are under 50 otherwise you would be lost in the nostalgia Tarantino is slamming hard.

[RPM 26353]

Makes sense. It's really important POV for this film. All the cheap westerns that flooded TV. Helter Skelter. Matt Helm. And about 99.8% of the movie is truth, facts. Pure nostalgia grab. Ya had to be there.

No Kill Bill(s)? What I love about QT movies is the outlandish violence/gore and always has a solid soundtrack. 

[Derka 6357]

another thing about movies for me that it seems like a lot of movies, especially popular and/or highly acclaimed movies, are made for people who really really really like movies. like so much of the movie is beyond surface level-all of the subtext, and allegory, and references, et al, and all of that stuff just goes over my head.

what i do now is i watch a movie, and when im done i go to youtube and find some videos explaining the movie or expounding on the movie, and im always completely lost at the things that these people see or interpret from these movies. latest example:

100% of that is lost on me. for me i’m just watching a movie and hoping to be entertained.

Saturday Night. Cooper Hoffman is so good. I didn’t realize he was PSH’s son until I saw the credits. He has a bright career ahead of him and his appeal isn’t being just another pretty face who can’t act. Call him a nepo baby but I think he is the real deal.

101 KLOL Documentary.  Worth watching if you grew up in that time frame in Houston area.  It was on Prime for like $2 rental.

Just found free (w/ads) on Tubi.

Cooper is great, as he was in Licorice Pizza. I thought Saturday Night was fine but I will never think of it again.

I remember turning on my car one day and being extremely confused by immediately being blasted with some Tejano music. Where did this come from? What happened to 101??? Twas a sad day.

Yes before Houston.

They couldn’t beat the guys on Q102 or KZEW so they moved.

I’m not ashamed to admit on a sports message board that wicked was awesome. The family has seen the show three or four times so we’re fans. Thought the movie was a great adaptation. It’s just the first half.

I watched Conclave and thought it was great. Excellent acting and photography and a good mystery. I’ve always been fascinated by the pope, cardinal, election process of the Catholic Church. It has been shown before in The Shoes of the Fisherman and Angels and Demons. I would also recommend Conclave. We need more movies like that.

Finally got to see Conclave tonight. I loved it, but I also love watching UK shows so this was right in my wheelhouse. Just some great acting with three guys in particular in Fiennes, Tucci and Lithgow that I really enjoy.

I just saw it with the wife. Really dragged in the middle. I almost fell asleep. But otherwise I enjoyed. Ariana Grande was amazing. And the visuals were really good.

I have watched it a hundred times and still get curious about the non-speaking characters.  Why is one gang member wearing the Union Jack?

[gofuckyourself 8383]

True Romance.

Hadn't seen it in 20+ years.

So good. Incredible performances.

The Walken/Hopper scene. Holy shit that's so good.

And of course Gary Oldman ... "Now, I know I'm pretty, but I ain't as pretty as a couple a titties."

[mdmost 43048]

Back from a weekend in LA and it got me wanting to watch this tonight. Easily in my top 10 of movies. 
 

PULL HIM OFF ME, EXLEY! 

I don't know how. 

[UpperWestside 6189]

A Real Pain. Directed by Jesse Eisenberg as well as starring himself and Kieran Culkin. This was a beautiful movie and they got a lot done in 90 minutes. Culkin’s character was poignant and will probably resonate with some folks here. The Concentration Camp scene was great in how it let the horrors there speak for themselves.
 

 

[RPM 26353]

This one is on my list. 

[freyguy 4289]

bumping for The Edge.  Man, goddamn I love this movie.  Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin, Alaskan wilderness, betrayal, a big fucking bear.

Hard to beat.
