GoDeep81 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Your Place or Mine. RomCom 110 minutes. If you like Reese Witherspoon & Ashton Kutcher, you'll like this one. Good weekend chill movie. B+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Not a movie, but History of the World Part II is great. Took a few episodes to grow on me, but it's got a lot of Airplane, Monty and Mel humor to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Saw Adam Driver’s latest movie “65”. A deep space transport piloted by Adam Driver gets hit by asteroids and crash lands on earth 65 million years ago. The survivors have to cross ancient earth to get to the escape pod. They have to do this fast because the asteroid that wipes out the dinosaurs is about to hit. I’ll give it a B-.

The Evil Genius Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) If anyone has Xfinity cable and is part of their rewards program, you may be able to get 2 free tix to the upcoming Super Mario movie via Fandango. Check your Xfinity Rewards account. The movie looks a lot better than I expected. Edited March 11, 2023 by The Evil Genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drowland Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Saw Scream 6 today. If you like the Scream franchise then you'll like this one as well. Lots of tense scenes although thought it unraveled some at the end. I'll give it a B. Few issues though Spoiler There was a lot of stabbing in this movie to just about every character, but as long as you weren't stabbed in the eye, mouth, neck or nose you survived no matter how many gutt stabs you took. Also the whole set up at the end. They do a Scooby Doo let's set a trap for the villian, but the movie and the franchise has established that there's always more then one killer and one of them is part of the group so trying to plan a trap you know you're giving it away which is what exactly happened.

Metalhead Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Highlander III: The Final Dimension (1994) This was a direct sequel to the first film and ignored The Quickening altogether, with the latter considered one of the worst films ever made. Like ever. Of all time. It's bad, I've seen it. Final Dimension had some good moments where it expanded on Connor MacLeod's life and also showed a new locale (Japan)...but much of the serious content was obliterated by the amount of cheese thrown in. There are some threads left hanging, such as his current love interest being a possible descendant of his former love interest centuries before...oddly implied but never directly discussed. Mario Van Peebles (no relation to the store) is the over-the-top villain and hams it up in the most mid-90's way imaginable. He was going for The Kurgan approach but didn't stick the landing.

Fergasun Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 My family (wife and two teenage kids) hated "Everything..." I thought it was one of the best movies I have seen in years. Many different layers to it. It was just too out there for them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCommiesGo Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Triangle of Sadness. I hated this, minimum 40 minutes too long. Tries to be a social commentary but is so heavy handed it’s ridiculous. Act 1 is overly long and failed to develop either of the leads. Completely waste Woody Harrelson in the act 2. Act 3 has been done many times much better. Arthouse people will love it, I’m not one of those people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Banshees of Inisherin. Extremely well acted with great production values. Storyline so unpleasant I wanted to cut off a few of my own appendages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Last night the wife and I watched this movie called Margin Call. She's in finance so she's enthralled by what's been going on this week with the Silicon Valley Bank and she wanted to watch this movie. Whereas I'm like "What's a routing number?" (not really, but you get the point). Anyway, this movie was really good and I'd never heard of it before. It came out in 2011, IIRC. It's got a surprisingly good cast, Kevin Spacey (you know, before everyone found out that he liked touching people inappropriately and was still considered a great actor), Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Demi Moore, Zach Quinto (the new Spock), Penn Badgley (the guy from the You show on Netflix), and Stanley Tucci. The plot of the film is fairly simple, these people work at an investment bank and they're laying off employees, one of which is the head of risk management (Tucci). On his way out, he tosses one of the guys on his team (new Spock) a flash drive with something he's been working on. New Spock stays late at work, crunching numbers and trying to figure out this model that Tucci was working on. He figures out that what they've been looking at in terms of volatility for their mortgage backed securities (sound familiar?) has been wrong and their position is over leveraged. If I had a bone to pick with this movie, they don't really dumb it down for the average layperson who really isn't into finance but that's offset by the good acting and writing to shift and show tension. You might not understand all the lingo they're using but that's okay, you can tell some serious **** is going on. And when Irons and Spacey square off, you don't really need to know the lingo to understand what their respective positions are. It's really, really well done and it's got an 87% rating on Rotten Tomatoes which is in line with the B+ I'm giving it. It's streaming on Amazon Prime right now. I just saw that it only did 19.5 million at the box office (against a 3.5 million budget) and I'm wondering how a film like this slipped through the cracks, especially with a cast like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 65: 5/10. Mediocre all around although Adam Driver isn't half bad in it. Dinosaurs also looked super fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 "The Siege of Jadotville" a pretty exciting war movieon Netflix about an Irish company acting as UN Peacekeepers is left to fend for itself in the midst of the Congolese civil war in the early 60s. Pretty good. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5. ~Bang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
