Fergasun Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 ... and I ended up just 40 minutes shy of finishing "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood..." on the flight. I probably would have but lost interest. Not sure I care about finishing this one even. Sure the story is weaved around true events, and the style is good. But the script is kind've average. Felt it was like that recent movie set in LA about the child actor dating the 20 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Aubrey Plaza was destined to be added to the conversation of actors and actresses that are known for being in very funny roles but can absolutely be taken seriously in serious ones. Kudos to her 👍🏽 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly straightforward plots with spectacular effects that appear to building toward something even more grand in the 3rd or 4th one coming. Live action Fern Gully The Last Rainforest. The first movie just works. It’s fun, it’s entertaining, it doesn’t really try to be anything more than it is which is a jaw dropping action movie with an anti-capitalist and anti-racism message. Seems like the second one is pretty similar. and they are historic. Nobody is saying they are T2 or that it’s Casablanca but they are historic movies imo. I recently watched 1 and despite coming out in 2009 it holds up really well. That’s about the best I can do. It’s fun entertainment that is porn for your eyeballs. You know what, just go with that get your eyeballs something nice this holiday season. avatar: porn for your eyeballs Edited December 18, 2022 by Momma There Goes That Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it’s a piece of cinematic art. It’s why people go to the movies. Or you could stay home and come back with the tried and true “I watched some trending movie on Netflix with Marky Mark that I never heard of and it was okay.” 😆 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Saw Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Gets a B. Didn’t really see the need for another one but the kids should like it. Next up the Whitney Houston biopic and probably Babylon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Saw the Whitney Houston biopic, I Wanna Dance With Somebody. Gets a solid A. It focus more on 1983-1994 but does go a little beyond that on key events. Her attempted comeback and of course her death. The actress did a great job portraying her and learned a couple about Whitney that I didn’t know; if they are accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Saw Avatar 2 More of the same as the first, in a variety of ways. Hits on a lot of the same story beats as the first film. It actually almost retells the exact same story to be honest. The visuals are mind-blowing and the implementation of 3D is sublime. Great "camera-work", everything is easy to track and read Its the kinda thing you go to the movies for. Big spectacle and pretty to look at, so like the first I enjoyed watching it. The story aint winning no awards tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Watched The Invitation last night on Netflix and thought it was a totally different "The Invitation" movie. It took me about 30 minutes to realize that it wasn't the one I thought it was lol. Apparently the one I thought it was came out in like 2015 and this one came out in 2022. And it ended up being REALLY bad. It started out interesting/decent but there is a clear point in the movie where it just gets completely stupid and made me facepalm and it just goes downhill from there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story aint winning no awards tho. Saw it on Christmas Day and had similar thoughts. The family and I discussed it at the dinner table last night and came to the conclusion that there were some big holes in the story. Same cast of characters, same story, different circumstances/details. We’d recommend reviewing the first beforehand. Dont regret watching it… it has some redeeming qualities…. but it’s not a must-see (strong recommendation).

gbear Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Saw star girl on disney plus. It was surprisingly deep for a teen movie. My daughter liked it and the music. I liked the songs from both women who were on America's got tallent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I watched “Cyrus”. It was from 2010 and I had never heard of it. But it had John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei, Jonah Hill, and Catherine Keener. John C Reilly and Keener are divorced, but still involved in each other's lives. Reilly meets Tomei, a single mom living with her 22 yo son (Hill). Written by the Duplass brothers. I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I was raised on Godzilla movies, lolz, what I don't like is a whole bunch of random names that make no sense doing what seems like random stuff. If I gotta be like "who's this and who's that" the whole movie and going in feels like more work then it's worth, pass on going to movies to see it. Jake with who'o does what'o with the why'o? I'd of been fine with jus one Alien Pocahantas where natives win and John Smith stays instead of losing and Pocahantas going back to UK. Couple plot holes I'm not sure I want to try and plug either with this sequel. It comes on Netflix, sure...maybe...two kids under two, I only have time for movies that are bad or don't makes sense if I think I'll enjoy it anyway, like original Sharknado.

purbeast Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Emily the Criminal - big fat "meh". It's alright but nothing special. I am not sure if it was made for Netflix but it feels like one of those "made for Netflix" movies as far as how good/bad it is as well as the quality of the movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
