Watched a movie called Tik TIk Boom based on a recommendation.  Didnt know anything about it and thought it was excellent.  Stars Andrew Garfield and directed by Lin Manuel Miranda. 

Just letting you know it is a musical similar to La La Land, so if thats not you bag you may want to avoid it.  I only know Garfield as the worst Spiderman, but after his performance in this you can tell he is really talented.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is extremely watchable….plus Michelle Monaghan is hot and topless sometimes.

Tremors (1990).  Good as I remember.

This is one of my favorite movies ever.

The Green Knight.

The director modified the story a little bit so I was thrown off by some things Still, it was a pretty decent interpretation of a popular Arthurian story.

Enjoyed this one a lot, and I'd say it's probably one of the top 5 Arthurian adaptations that have been put to screen, even with its differences. Wish the pandemic hadn't destroyed its life at the box office. Not that it was ever going to set records, but I feel like it could've made more money than it did (tho it did make a profit!)

I watched this and High Noon today.  This film is unsettling.

[RomaVicta 29847]

Nyad. Terrible script. Terrible. You can appreciate the value of great actors trying to breathe life into the dead word for only so long. Jody Foster and Rhys Ifans twist the mundane dialogue into something resembling reality. Annette Benning has no chance in the role of Nyad. We sped through the second hour to the end to see if she ever made it.

Don't watch this movie.

Anyone But You

Sydney Sweeney cannot act. She says her lines like she doesn't understand half the words.

And it's the most unfunny romantic "comedy" I've ever seen. Human beings don't act this way. For example, there's a scene where there's a fire and someone takes off her dress and uses it to put it out. Seriously, WTF? And is that supposed to be funny?

However, Syd's tits are fantastic. 10 out of 10. Best movie of the year.

I saw Immaculate tonight.  I thought it was pretty fun.  Only about 90 minutes.  Sydney Sweeney was in a semi-transparent nightgown half the move, if you're into that kind of thing.

 

Spoiler

The killing spree at the end was pretty good.  I saw Chekhov's crucifix nail coming but not the baby crushing.  The foley for the grunting gurgling offscreen baby was a nice touch.

Watched Knox Goes Away, directed by and staring Michael Keaton (along with Pacino).  Writing was a bit lazy, but the acting was great and the story was pretty good.  

Anyway, I recommend if you're looking for something to watch.  I appreciate that, unlike DeNiro, Keaton and Pacino never mail it in.

Staying with the crew in a place near the quiet entry to the Great Smoky Mountains national park and decided to show them Last of the Mohicans tonight after a day hiking, since it was filmed not far from here.

Besides the general awesomeness of DDL plus Michael Mann and a great source material—  just so refreshing to see how this movie LOOKS.

- Filmed outside with good lighting and no mood filters.  The mountains, rocks, trees, water, sun, light all looks like what we saw today. 
 

- Kickass costuming and sets, the Huron village is a Huron village they built for the movie.  The costumes have color and bulk. The makeup looks like normal people who have been outside sweating and running around. 
 

- The battles and fight scenes are well-choreographed, easy to follow, and yet still manage to look real and chaotic with genuine smoke and fire.  
 

- Consistent sound all the way through, you can leave it on one volume and hear every word and never have your ears blown out. 
 

Granted this was a major-budget picture with a tier 1 director and the world’s best actor but DAMN.  I cannot remember the last time I saw a new movie that looks and feels this good and real.  Truly, we reached peak movie magic between about 1990-2000 and it’s been downhill since then. 

If you like Last of the Mohicans you should check out Black Robe.

It came out around the same time as LotM but was a Canadian film so was overshadowed.

But was directed by Bruce Beresford and is probably my all-time favorite movie about Native American / European interaction.

The cinematography is off the charts

I thought it had a little bit of a Wes Anderson feel. Maybe just from how it treated Woman Police Officer Gladys Moss. I really liked Rose Gooding’s character.

The supporting characters were good and the one older lady played the grandmother in the What A Girl Wants movie.

The closing scene makes it hard to believe that Olivia Colman played both the Queen and this character, but what a talented actor.

That’s why I gave a big chuckle when, during the credits, they showed a letter the woman wrote where she was talking about the Queen.

Something about the eloquence in British accent when talking like a lower class hooker makes it less improper imho.  Laughed until my sides hurt and learned some new rather proper insults to boot.

Watched The Departed last night for the first time in years.

Great cast, great script, great acting, strong directing.  Thoroughly enjoyed, though I will admit I had forgotten the resolution...

If I did not know it was adapted from a synthesis of several different stories, I would have thought that the resolution in the last 10 minutes was due to a funding or movie length issue.  "Hey, Martin (Scorsese); the movie's already at 2:30 and they money guys are getting a little pinched.  Let's wrap it up."

Drive Away Dolls. Stumbled onto this on Peacock , written and directed by Ethan Coen. Should have been better than it was, set in 1999, there were a ton of time errors that irritate me.

It doesn't. The movie isn't horrible but it definitely doesn't warrant an IMAX screening.

[F250 28732]

I watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood this weekend. I didn't know what it was about until the Polanski and Sharon Tate characters showed up next door.

Damn. This was a really good movie. Tarantino really captured the yuck factor of hippies.

Margaret Qualley was hot but damn she looked like she needed a bath.

Greatest Hits

Really well done movie. It's refreshing to see a movie that isn't made for morons. I've been watching so many Netflix/Prime movies where everything needs to be spelled out with exhaustive expositional dialogue. Hell even theatrical releases to this.

This movie just lets things unfold and lets you figure out what's going on. I'm probably overrating it for this reason. But it was an enjoyable movie. 

Lucy Boynton can act and is easy on the eyes too.

[PittsburghTiger 6167]

This movie always kills me. 

[Jiggy-Z 3432]

Just watched Another Round on Netflix last night. 

It won Academy for best full feature foreign film in 2020.

Dark comedy staring Mads Mikkelsen about a bunch of middle aged dudes teaching in Copenhagen using alcohol to solve their problems with hilarious consequences.

There is an American version in the works starring Leo DiCaprio, but I don't think it will work as well set on the US.

Nice hidden gem and the womens will like it too...just like Irish Spring.

Has kind of a Full Monty feel about it once it gets rolling.

Rewatched Red River for the god knows how many time. I have the damn thing memorized and it gets better every time.

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing this movie Abigail. 

I hate the fact that the trailers and even the movie poster gives the plot away. The reviewers have said if you didn't know going into it, you would be wondering up until halfway through the movie what the hell's going on. Now granted, the twist is pretty obvious, but it would still be fun to figure out.

It's getting pretty good reviews. 

So if you like horror movies and you don't know a thing about Abigail, I suggest you don't look up the trailer or anything about it and just go see it.

[DixonHur 11277]

Watched Origin.  

It was an interesting take on race, but felt a little like spending 2 hours in the CR.

The movie itself was a bit clunky and heavy handed in parts, but overall enjoyable. 

[Stringer 1438]

Saw Monkey Man this week and really enjoyed it.  People keep bringing up John Wick, but it has much more on its' mind.  The setting and environment is very unique and not something you see a lot in movies.  It's much more political in nature.  As far as the action, I think it is more similar to something like Atomic Blond.  The action is actually pretty minimal and when it happens, it is much more brutal and personal than Wick.  It's people just trying to survive with whatever is within arm's reach, instead of the Gun Fu of John Wick.

You can see some of the seams of the story since it bounced around so many studios (it's an interesting Hollywood story), but it's a really impressive directing debut from Dev Patel.  These movies are not easy to make. 

[The Original Greaser Bob 2803]

Master Gardner (2022)

Cool little flick from Paul Schrader. Kind of a Joel Edgerton vehicle but Sig Weaver kind of freaks you out.

 

I keep getting older and so does Sigourney.
