The major plot hole I see is that if you go back in time and bring them to the future and they end up dying, that would screw some things up. That persons future self would cease to exist as well as any children that came after them. Seems like a big “rip a hole and time and space” thing I would have trouble getting past. Without giving too much spoiler, is this addressed in a reasonable way? Repeat after me: all time travel stories have huge plot holes. Time travel itself doesn’t make any sense because it never accounts for the fact that the earth is moving through space. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Let Him Go, the Kevin Costner/Diane Lane vehicle. Couple of geriatrics in the 1950s go after a hick family in North Dakota who's kidnapped their grandson. It's pretty solid. Not the best movie ever but not bad. It's a straight ahead action/revenge/save the kid type of movie. You know what you're getting into and that's fine. I've never seen Lesley Manville before, but she does a great job of playing the the matriarch of the family that Costner/Lane go after. It's a solid B for me. Currently watching Rounders, a movie that I can watch anytime, anywhere. Can't believe this movie is 23 years old. A+.

88Comrade2000 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Saw Black Widow. An enjoyable movie for me anyway. Loved the back story and meeting her family. Alexi- her dad was a hoot. The end credits scene sets up something? I’ll give the an A. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I give Black Widow an 8/10. Solid fun movie but I felt the first two acts were rushed and the third act was a bit too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I DVR'd this last weekend, probably watch tonight. I'm always down for a Costner western. I find Chris Pratt to be one of the most likeable people in Hollywood, dude just oozes charisma. I'll watch anything he's in. Tomorrow War was a pretty fun movie. If anyone is on the fence, I'd say watch it. When it comes to your typical summer action movies that are entertaining but you'll probably never go out of your way to watch again (think: San Andreas, Battleship, Lucy, etc), I'd say Tomorrow War is upper-tier. "Awake" on Netflix had one of the most original ideas ever, but sadly it was poorly written and just not done well. There was some sort of unexplained ginormous solar flare, and it EMP'd the entire planet. Whole world is dark. And nobody can sleep. Like, you are either awake, or you're dead. People tried drugs & alcohol, sleeping pills. Nothing. Even people that are hospitalized or suffering from extreme injuries that would normally render you unconscious...are awake. The movie basically shows how society freaks out for the first 24-48 hours without sleep, but then beings to fall apart after 5-6 days as even law enforcement and the military start to become delusional and chaos ensues. People eventually start dying from violence and exhaustion. the main character's daughter can sleep somehow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 rented it on Amazon. Another horror comedy, because I can’t get enough of these movies. Sam Richardson and Milano Vayntrub were excellent. Movie was entertaining but slows down considerably towards the end. Wait until this one is streaming for free on whatever streaming services you have. My wife guessed who the werewolf was correctly within 5 minutes. Again. She solves every damned whodoneit before seeing more than 5 minutes of a movie. I think she played too much Clue as a child or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Watched Gunpowder Milkshake with Karen Gillian on Netflix. A female action flick. Has an all- star cast. It was pretty good and to see the women kicking ass. A solid B. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Disturbia, the 2007 Shia LeBouf film that's a take on Hitch****'s Rear Window. This isn't a great movie by any stretch...but I LOVE THIS MOVIE. It's a movie I can watch when there's nothing else to watch. I don't like LeBouf at all, but he's perfect in this role...the fast talking, neurotic, funny teenager. The girl is a smokeshow. His sidekick is a great sidekick. Trinity from the Matrix is his mom. The bad guy is appropriately creepy. The movie doesn't drag in any areas, the pace is pretty quick and keeps you engaged. It's not a great plot, it's nothing original, but that's fine. Billy Bob, what do you think we should give it? I agree. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Space Jam (Lebron Version) My daughter enjoyed it. She was dancing and demanding they pass the ball to Lola Bunny, who she assured me is “literally” the best character. “Obviously.” The movie is about what you’d expect. It’s for kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Space Jam: 5/10. Cringey and cheesy and obviously meant for kids. Has some fun moments though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I thought Space Jam was a lot of fun. It’s a much better movie than the original. Funnier too. I liked how they incorporated all the other WB properties and franchises into things. They made it their own too with a non-traditional basketball game. Lebron is a better actor than Jordan too (which doesn’t mean he’s good) and he let them make some jokes at his expense. Cheadle was chewing up the scenery. Cute movie. Obviously for kids but I enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) They even recreated the famous Wade/LeBron Heat pic the soundtrack does a ton of heavy lifting with the original.
