Spaceman Spiff Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 As someone who'd crack a beer if the Marvel Studios was torched to the ground, I feel a bit torn as I kind of want to see Shang Chi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyPosse Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I just watched Unthinkable on Hulu. Heard about it a couple years back when it was making the festival rounds. I… think I liked it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabbyrwock Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Had a choice between watching Dallas vs. Tom Brady, or 1917. Went with the latter. Wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 The Voyeurs on Amazon. The plot is...a young couple moves into an apartment that is so luxurious and nice that they could never afford with their average jobs. The guy (Justice Smith, who's voice I can't stand) is a bit of a doofus, the girl (Sydney Sweeney) is way hot in a girl next door kind of way. Soon after moving in, they notice their neighbors in the building across the street having sex. The male neighbor is a photographer and he's shooting hot models all day long while his wife is away, banging them too. It's pretty much softcore porn. The young couple can't stop watching, pretty soon they become unhealthily obsessed. They do some weird next level ****. The guy has had enough when he feels that his wife has crossed a line.... ...a line she won't come back from. Bah bah buuuuuummmmm... I wanted to like this movie, I've seen it called a "throwback erotic thriller" except there's not much thrilling about it until you get to the twist at the end. But by then it's too late. Whoever made this movie obviously wanted to have some sort of social commentary about how we're all too obsessed with each other's lives (you'll get hit over the head with it at the end of the movie, you can't avoid it) but it wasn't done in a particularly intelligent way. I also didn't really care enough about the characters to be completely mind-blown by the twist at the end. I'm giving it a B-. It's worth a watch but it's not great.

gbear Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Cinderella on Amazon Prime: This was a surprisingly well done movie. Whoever put together the music and the story was very creative. They put a lot of classic pop songs from the 80's and 90's into a story of women's empowerment woven into the classic Cinderella storyline. The acting and singing is first rate. With whom they had singing, I expected the songs to be good, but the acting and writing was also good. For a movie made by/for a subscription service, this was a great peace of entertainment. That it is family friendly was a complete bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Malignant - Terrified by fear from shocking visions, a woman’s torment worsens as she discovers her waking dreams are terrifying realities HBOMax Enjoyed this quite a bit. It was a fun and creepy romp through James Wan’s twisted mind that acts as sort of an homage to campy horror. Some genuinely chilling scenes with a lot of fun twists and turns along the way. The final act is ****ing bonkers even once it has showed it’s hand, it doesn’t slow down. It’s ridiculous, it’s insane, it’s hilarious. and it’s awesome. Although things end up being fairly predictable ( I’d gotten about 90% of the way there), watching it unfold was a real treat.

This one was humorous. Venom and Eddie were like buddies in this one and Venom was funny. Based on the mid- credits scene; I think he goes dark again since I think he will finally be meeting someone in the next movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Saw Adams Family 2. It’s in theaters now or you can pay $19.99 to rent on Apple TV. This is the cartoon sequel and it was alright. Gets a B. Wednesday is highlight of this sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Saw Venom 2 last night. Give it around a 6.5/10. Felt kinda rushed at times and too much emphasis on the Carnage/Shriek relationship then needed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The Long Halloween Part 1-2 Based on the critically acclaimed graphic novel, Batman, Jim Gordon, and DA Harvey Dent race against the calendar as it advances toward the next ill fated holiday. I’ve read the graphic novel and it is fantastic so I was excited when I saw the long-awaited animated 2-part movie released in 2021 was available on HBO max. I am happy to say that both parts are outstanding and it is one of the best Batman stories ever. The graphic novel was one of the inspirations Nolan used when writing The Dark Knight and it is easy to see that as the trio of Batman, Gordon, and Dent creating an alliance to take on the Gotham mob is the basis of this story. It is the definitive Harvey Dent story imo aside from The Dark Knight which again, shares a lot of the same DNA and themes from this. That Harvey Dent/mob story also coincides with the the three of them trying to track down a new killer in Gotham, one that only kills on holidays and has targeted the mob crime families for victims. That murder mystery hangs over everything and is fun to try to solve or see the characters piece it together. Another thing I like about it is that it’s a younger Batman. He’s not a great detective yet. He makes mistakes. He isn’t perfect or “because I’m Batman” yet and he even misses landing a couple jumps etc that further shows that. The story takes place over a year and you see him grow during that time. The movie works as a nice examination of Bruce/Batman and his desire to understand decisions his parents made that he is now having to deal with the consequences of while also examining Harvey Dent. Those two are juxtaposed in a similar way to how Nolan handles them in TDK. The movies change a couple things about the ending that I think are excellent decisions. Each change improves every character and makes the story more coherent, the mystery more engaging, and the motivations more satisfying. Highly recommend if you’re a fan of comic books or Batman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
