Movies! The movie thread

UncleWede · 10-28-2024, 02:35 PM

I went and saw Venom on Thursday. They told me I didn't need to know anything to watch it, but there were obviously some past I missed out on.
Since I pre-gamed 2 Jack/diet, then bought an Old Fashion in a bottle there, I had an enjoyable afternoon. Some of the action scenes just had too much going on to even see it all.

The Minister and I watched "Wolfs" a few nights ago.

Huge, massive plot holes..... but that being said, you're really watching the interaction of Clooney and Pitt. The plot was simply a framework to hang watching two masters of their craft bounce off of each other.

It's not going to win an Oscar, but it was fun to watch.... with a bottle of bubbles at hand.

I am VERY impressed with any sequel that matches the entertainment quality of the original. That is the case of this movie, which I consider the first, one of the scariest and unsettling horror movies in years!

If you're looking for a good Horror film for Halloween, look no further...

Haven't seen it yet but loved the first one so definitely will see this.

I haven't been able to watch the first Smile yet, haven't found the correct combo of time, quiet, and mindset.

Try watching on Halloween if you have the time. I'm sure it's free now and it is a good scary movie.

Some ppl weren't so hot on 'Wolfs' so that lowered my expectations; I thought it was good but the 1st half was better than the 2nd.

tranquility · 11-02-2024, 08:55 PM

Cellar Door was decent.

I was disappointed, I felt like the Pitt and Clooney just called it in if that makes sense.

Oh no. I guess I really had lowered expectations, wasn't expecting a thespian matchup of the calibre of Pacino and DeNiro in Heat. Pitt will always be a mimbo in my eyes lol.

I recommend the remake of THE CROW. It flopped on the big screen, but I don't go to the movies anymore and don't care about that anymore. I have focused on my Home Theater and am completely invested in it for Movies.
That being said, I found it much better than I expected!

M5Rick · 11-09-2024, 05:25 PM

Unusual western from the spaghetti ones with Clint Eastwood as Joe Kidd, watching now.

flybigjet · 11-10-2024, 10:14 PM

The Minister, the niece and I all watched "Fly Me to the Moon" today.

It's cute. A fun (sort of) rom-com with smart, witty dialogue.

Admittedly, not Oscar material, it it was a fun, sit in the loft on the couch with popcorn and champagne movie.

We enjoyed it.

I was looking for something to watch yesterday, wasn't feeling well with a bit of a cold, my wife was doing some painting and I watched the trailer. Something we can watch together.

Great cast, I'll be watching this when it comes out.

Definitely agree.

UncleWede · 11-18-2024, 02:58 PM

I have tickets for a noon showing of Gladiator II Friday. Son is driving, so I am imbibing.

Rated R: Strong bloody violence.

Don't threaten me with a good time!

gunsmoker · 11-18-2024, 03:36 PM

I'm afraid Gladiator II will disappoint me. Gladiator I is my all time favorite movie.

Ya...don't drink and text

Man, the stories you can tell as a copper. Start a thread and spill the beans

M5Rick · 11-20-2024, 06:05 AM

Time to watch this one again, Fonda plays Larry, an ex-Stock Car racer who is running rings around the cops with his excellent driving skills trying to get away with a bunch of stolen money.
