I probably enjoyed Up in the Air the most out of these, but realize it's not best picture Oscar winning type movie.

The JK Simmons scene made that movie for me.

We watched McClintock Saturday nite, so as a compromise I had to watch Hampstead (a Diane Keaton chick flick filmed in London) Sunday nite. After 15 minutes of the latter my eyes were glazed over like a Krispy Kreme donut.

We watched Sabata the other night.  Silly, cheesy, ridiculous Spaghetti western starring Lee Van Cleef.  We laughed a lot.

She is one fucking hot dame.

Am more of a Betty White fan.

Saturday Night Fever. Really good snap shot of a time, a place, and a culture. 

But I gotta ask, how did everybody not figure out Travolta was gay after this film? 

[tbone_ 14020]

No one talked about it back then

[PRONG HORN 3108]

It's all these modern pseudo macho types that think dancing is gay.  

[Parliament 14112]

Patrick Swayzee is proof. He danced, bounced and surfed. Definitely not gay.

[Chewbacca 7727]

Daniel Craig’s Casino Royale is far and away the best Bond film. Second place isn’t really even close.

I have Casino Royale and Skyfall 1A and 1B. Sometimes the order changes. Love them both.

Call of the Wild with Harrison Ford. Liked it a lot more than I thought I would, even with the CGI dogs.

Any idea of the Disney+ release date?

A Taste of Zen (1971)

A beautiful film but way overstayed its welcome.  Was fun comparing this to all the films it influenced.  The fight scenes are wackily crazy yet strangely realistic.  (Swing twice, miss, and move the fuck on.)

[Parliament 14112]

Hotel Artemis.  Lotsa great performances from a diverse cast.  But oddly, it just didn't come together.  Mediocre movie.

David Bautista needs one good lead role and he'll be awesome.  He's very underrated.

[tx 3 putt 76158]

The Town - always heard it was good, did not disappoint 

[Mo Horn 8795]

This weekend I've watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Rocketman. Not Tarrentino's best, but I enjoyed it. Really liked Rocketman.

[tbone_ 14020]

Once upon a time in America is good too.

The family sat down last night and watched Usual Suspects and Sixth Sense back-to-back. Two great examples of movies with a last minute plot twist that changes everything you just watched.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood - meh.

[wild_turkey 3150]

The Art of Racing in the Rain

Wife and I both read the book. Not sure why we watched the movie. I guess Schindler's List was unavailable.

[dogbreath 431]

Brewster McCloud - a WTF movie, but it's Altman and set in Houston.  Hudson & Harrigan anyone. 

The Strange Love of Margaret Ivers - Kurt Douglas was a riot.

I thought it was fucking terrible and hated the CGI dogs.  That was the last movie I saw in theaters, I think.

[Rabidhorn 121]

Watched Zombieland 2 and Mile 22 back to back. ZBL 2 was a shit show, why not stop after 1?  Miles 22 was great, a shoot em up blast. Do not get all the bad reviews.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19073]

Just rewatched Kingsman. So entertaining.

[Continental Op 3934]

Doing a rewatch of the Aliens franchise along with my nephews.  Alien:Resurrection is a dogshit movie.  Never saw Prometheus or Covenant so hopefully those are better.

It still kills me. Always has.

 

Yesterday, Carrie was on. I can't believe my parents let under-10 me watch that movie.

 

 

[SwanderedTalent 5761]

Toy Story 4 was execrable. This is I guess what happens to any franchise that starts out nominally for kids and then ends up written by its original target audience. Tone deaf and spiritually ugly.

Yeah, let's get him into an actual action movie like a John Wick type role or something, and see what happens.  

I remember when Vin Diesel did something similar with the Pacifier I believe.  Not a good thing to do a strait comedy...better when it's serious and they can do a little comedy mixed in(like when he's Drax in GoTG) 

[tantric superman 4667]

Ace in the Hole aka The Big Carnival (1951)

Man I really wanted to like this.  Coming on the heals of Sunset Boulevard, with a great story.

There were just too many words.  Kirk Douglas got hamstrung with too many lines.  You never really bought that he could con anyone, so unlikable was he.

It's Billy Wilder and it's obviously a great movie, but I was disappointed.

[immortal13 4059]

Shot Caller

Pretty violent prison movie starring "Jamie Lannister". Didn't hate it.

WTeverlovinF man? That film is a classic and some of Douglas' best work. He was a greedy, selfabsorbed, egomaniacal glory hound and it took killing a man to bring him to his senses. It was all about him and not the man trapped in the hole. That film translates to today's media so much it hurts. It was fake news/tabloid/hype media on parade.

[billfromlaketravis 11352]

North by Northwest. It’s influence on Mad Men has been, uh, understated by Matthew Weiner and his team. 

[Uncle Boobs 1245]

Watching bachelor party right now. I'm hammered drunk. Lots of titties in this movie.

[Uncle Boobs 1245]

Also Nick the dick has an enormous cock.

[Underdog 28437]

And then some.  That subtle slap noise you hear when he whips it out always cracks me up. 

[RPM 26185]

Just watched Yesterday again. Gotdayum this movie hits me in the feels. Lily James is delicious.

[Parliament 14112]

Road to Perdition. Gets better every time I see it.

I concur with emphasis.  Saw it in a semi well attended public venue, with lots of laughs, singing along and appreciative claps and hoots, until the door to Lennon's beach house opened.  Boom! Audible intakes of breath and a second of absolute silence - no one knew it was coming.  One of the most potent moments in any film this old man has ever seen.  Bravo, Yesterday.

Original Alien was fucking riveting and Aliens was so entertaining even if it was directed by an asshole.  I liked Covenant.  Some of the others- meh.  I know this: to anyone exploring deep space who comes across a wrecked giant curved 3/4 circular spacecraft, man just stay the fuck away.  Go elsewhere.

 My post says the movie is great but that the writing hurt the story.  I don't have any beef with what the movie is going for or that it was an important film. I think the movie overall would have worked even better if you could have seen how he might have charmed and cajoled, as opposed to simply bullied, everyone he met.* 

To me, there isn't much to a post regarding a well regarded, classic movie if I just say -- "Just saw the classic "Ace in the Hole" - it was great and classic!"

(*Made me think of "Face in the Crowd" -- I haven't seen that in a while but as bullying and loud as that character was, I think he did have charm and humor that made people surrendering to him a bit more believable.)

I think the acting was a sign of the times, i.e. Strasberg. This film is a hidden gem and the bullying is the whole point of the film, imho. You feed a dynamo and then you can't control it.

Ransom with Glenn Ford was on last night, good movie. 

[ChickenSandwich 9797]

Birds of Prey. Because I hate myself. Turrible

[billfromlaketravis 11352]

Sleepers. It makes you think about Hell’s Kitchen turning into Chelsea.

Also Juvie seems like a bad time.
