It's one of those movies that I wish I could watch again for the first time, not knowing what is going to happen. I remember feeling that same way after I watched The Matrix. Hech yeah it is. That scene at the end when it's him and his brother vs the sidekick dude...epic! The sequel to Raid: Redemption was pretty dang good, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Men In Black International Dont know why this movie was necessary. It's not awful, but it's not compelling enough to bother with either if you're not an MIB franchise fan. And it was painfully obvious who the villain was from the trailers. It's the old "they didnt cast this person to not be important" thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbear Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 The Hate You Give is an intense provocative movie with an interesting take on how hard it is to escape the cultures in which we grow up. I thought it provided a better case for the Black Lives Matter movement than much of the TV punditry ever did by attaching a narrative to what seems abstract for those of us not living the crisis. It deserves its Rotten Tomatoes score of 97. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 American Werewolf in London. I love this movie. It’s one of the films that made me into a horror fan early in life despite my father’s overly dramatic sigh and judgey shakes of his head. (He still does that.) There are some really well put together horror scenes here but enough laughs to keep it from becoming too dark and dreary. Great sound track, consisting of songs that mostly have the word moon in the title. It even has some things it shouldn’t, like Nazi werewolfs with automatic weapons, which I had managed to erase entirely from memory (with good reason). Werewolf movies aren’t exactly a category filled with classics, but this one managed to achieve that status in the horror genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Giving it an A. A lot of fun. A good buddy movie between Pitt/Leo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I meant to ask last night...those of you that saw Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, did you guys catch a glimpse of Samuel L Jackson? Or were my eyes playing tricks on me? Spoiler The scene where Leo is shooting his western with Timothy Olyphant, he walks into the bar, looks to his left and sees a table of three men sitting there. The one in the middle was a black guy but had a hat on and was kind of in a shadow, was hard to see. But it looked like Samuel L Jackson. They showed him a couple minutes later for a few seconds. Still couldn't make him out. I'm assuming it would be all over the internet if true but I can't find anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been pretty cool though. The only easter egg type thing I noticed in the moment was the directos on one of Ray Dalton's spaghetti western was Antonio Margheriti which was the fake Italian name the Bear Jew uses undercover in Inglorious Basterds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Saw "Hobbs & Shaw". It was pretty good. Jason & The Rock have good chemistry, so you can see why they did a spinoff. There are 2 bonus scenes. Around mid credits and after the credits are done. Also, a couple scenes playing as credits start rolling. I'll give movie a solid B+. A good late summer action flick.

purbeast Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Lion King (2019) - it was kinda cool but was also kinda weird. Just seeing real life looking animals talking was just a bit odd, and all the singing and stuff felt very forced. CGI was incredible though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Hobbs and shaw was fun. Completely ridiculous. Completely fake. If you think Vin Diesel purposely wrecking his car to send himself flying through the air to catch Liddy as she was falling was crazy and stupid...well you haven’t seen anything yet lol. If you ever wanted to know “is the rock stronger than a helicopter?” ...you’ll have your answer A couple of surprise cameos were fun too Edited August 4, 2019 by Momma There Goes That Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It deserves its Rotten Tomatoes score of 97. Loved it. ——— Just watched the movie “Tag” again, it’s a good comedy with a surprising tug of the heartstrings at the end. It’s based on a true story of friends who pledged to continue a game of tag into adulthood to keep their friendship intact. There are 4-5 incredibly funny scenes — the film has a healthy dose of subtle comedy as well as the over the top stupidity so many of us enjoy. Solid 7.5/10 in the comedy section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mournblade Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Batman "Hush": A-. Animation is excellent, story is great (particularly the unexpected relationship between Batman and Catwoman), except for the ending which I found a bit of a letdown. Still, another excellent contribution from DC Animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark: 7/10. Decent movie but really not all that scary. In fact one of the "monsters" made me laugh my ass off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 This isn't technically a movie, but wanted to post it here for all you wandering cinephiles. Burn one and watch a half hour of weird David Lynch commercials. They're ****ing amazing. Seriously. https://laughingsquid.com/commercials-directed-by-david-lynch/?fbclid=IwAR1v7-UprjLBhbKQAcKvs60KibrwYotTA9cHe1O3ki0FJC1p1a9jWTblXAQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passepartout Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Hobbes vs Shaw 8/10 Fast and Furious. Jason S and Dwayne J have great chemistry in a love-hate relationship bromance with them.

Renegade7 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) I caught the last 30 minutes of it, Holy hell, Aquaman is terrible. Do I need to watch it from the beginning?

Spaceman Spiff Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Disturbia. That remake of Hitch****'s Rear Window. It's on iTunes for 5 bucks. First of all, I can't believe this movie came out in 2007. Second, I can't believe I like something with Shia LaBeouf in it. He stays in his lane in this one, an awkward, fast talking teenager with an angry streak who keeps putting himself in bad situations. Sarah Roemer is nice to look at, David Morse plays a good creepy neighbor that LaBeouf's character spies on. It is a PG-13, 5 dollar, summer thriller type movie and I don't think it attempts to be anything more than that. I don't care what you think, I like it. B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely brutal movie. I can't believe they're actually making an Aquaman 2 (and that bunch of saps will go see it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
