My kind of flick....

Esteban · 06-23-2023, 03:22 PM

Started "Evil Dead Rise" last night. Good, so far.

^ Oh man, sorry but I thought "Bullet Train" sucked. I couldn't even finish it.

Watershops · 07-01-2023, 07:48 PM

On Prime now.

Esteban · 07-03-2023, 01:38 AM

Finished Evil Dead Rise.

“Come get some.”

Looks like the weak showing of the Flash has prompted to Warner Bros and DC to release it on digital in a mere 30 days!
I was very close to watching it at the theater, since I'm a comic book movie fiend. Glad I didn't. My Home Theater eagerly awaiting...

A little unhappy it didn’t do better in the theater. I was such a big fan of the Flash when I was a kid. On the other hand I’ll be able to watch it earlier at home. Mixed feelings…

The trailer looked good to me.

Marvel/super hero overload. People are tired of it me included. TBH I was good after Iron Man.

Yep, I agree. Too much epic CGI. Was talking DC above, though. Liked it when it was small stuff, like maybe a bank robber, or something like that.

Yeah. I was just grouping all the comic stuff together. It’s played out. Same goes for Star Wars and I’m an Uber fan. They need to give it a rest for awhile.

Yup yup. I just saw Chris Pine's Dungeons and Dragons, and thought to myself, if they made it 'serious' it would've been so much better. However, I guess the majority of ppl love these casual things where heroes are having lively banter while fighting hordes of bad dudes w/o any real sense of danger? It's not my style at all.

Esteban · 07-07-2023, 12:09 PM

Last night I watched "The Menu." Strange movie.

Esteban · 07-07-2023, 03:16 PM

^^ SPOILER ^^

Thought it might be about cannibalism. It's not.

I LOVE the Spiderverse films. They are perfect! Every bit of them! I am the target audience as a comic book reader from the 80's on up, so it is literally made for me!

And Bullet Train was great... not what I was expecting and pleasantly surprised.

Saw the new Indy film as well... it isn't getting a lot of love but I thought it was just fine. Nothing earth shattering, but solid and thoughtfully put together.

Bingham · 07-08-2023, 05:48 PM

Saw the new Indiana Jones movie last night. Was glad I saw it in the theater w/ the fam. Harrison Ford is terrific as is his costar Phoebe Waller. Madds Mickkelson was solid. The plot/story is just unconnected, unnecessarily long and sloppy. Cool ending though. Regrettably, ima 6/10.

I’m watching the extended version of A Star is Born, Bradley Cooper and Gaga are amazing together.

Artemis · 07-10-2023, 02:30 PM

Seen "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One" (IMAX).

Roller coaster featuring Tom Cruise doing entertaining Cruise stuff. 2h42 flies by + interesting (warning) message.

At some point during an intense scene, a Blade Runner twist (1982) sprung to mind. Not gonna spoil which one.

Artemis · 07-10-2023, 02:37 PM

Scheduled for premiering on Nov 22, 2023 (Thanksgiving weekend): "Napoleon" by Ridley Scott starring Joaquin Phoenix.
