Destino Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I finally got around to Ghostbusters Afterlife. Watched it with the family, and as a family movie it succeeded. It’s definitely better than that abomination they made in 2016 which wasted a hilarious cast of talented women. Despite being a kids movie, the stars of this one are children, this movie felt like a real ghostbusters movie. My daughter sat there smiling through out, happily cheering on Egon’s granddaughter as she discovered her newly discovered ghostbuster legacy and put on her proton pack. Afterlife also served as a pretty good tribute to Harold Ramis, who died before the making of this movie. This movie centers on Egon’s family, his sacrifices, and his legacy. He’s in this movie as a ghost, which is as fitting a tribute to a ghostbuster as can be. If you liked ghostbusters growing up this one is worth watching. It’s not great like the original, but it belongs. That’s something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Begins is better… but that’s not a slight since TDK is also a timeless masterpiece. And that’s evident from the first 5 minutes so if she’s asking if it gets better already an hour in - after we’ve had the bank heist, the Batman imposters, the Joker/crime boss meeting, the Lao abduction in Hong Kong, the Bruce/Alfred bandit story etc…you may need to prepare yourself for what’s coming… Edited February 8, 2022 by Momma There Goes That Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Watched Saint Maud (2019) last night. Very good psychological horror (my favorite kind) and an incredible performance by the lead actress, Morfydd Clark. And the score hits perfectly and hits hard. I bought the mp3 album immediately off Amazon once the film was over (only place I could find it quick). This film has twists and turns that caught me off guard every single time. * Added - to describe it better, I felt influences of Misery, Donnie Darko, and Session 9.

Bruh, I'm trying to tell you, when she asked who the Joker was during the opening bank heist scene, I couldn't even be mad. I knew what I was getting into the first time I heard her accent 🥰 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Watched the newest Resident Evil last night and enjoyed it. It pays a lot of homage to the first and second movies and is based around those. If you are a fan of the old RE games you will probably enjoy it. If you aren't, then you will just think it's a cheesy mess most likely lol. I'd say it's the best or second best RE movie though, but mainly just because it actually follows the games a lot more than the other movies do. There are some iconic scenes from the first 2 games incorporated into the movie too which is cool. The sets were pretty awesome too. But yeah, I'd only recommend if you are a fan of the old games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Am I a bad father if I think it is a good idea to show my 16 year old and his best friend the "Jackass" movie series? Perhaps I'm just a horrible husband. I never even watched the movie or show much myself, but they are seeing so much stupid on Youtube that I figure that is right up their comedic taste.

I’ll get heat for this but I’m not an Unforgiven fan. You’re not alone. I liked Unforgiven, but didn’t love it. The ending was pretty great, but I’m not sold on Eastwood as a director. Love him as an actor. I’ll take A Fistful of Dollars over it any day of the week. The greatest western of all time is... The Wild Bunch.

Renegade7 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) @Momma There Goes That Man update on The Dark Knight. So, further in the movie she says she really likes it, but keeps asking why they don't jus kill the Joker. Yea know, I try to explain how Batman tries his best not to kill anyone, why he doesn't use guns, and try to point to this coming up in Batman Begins, which as I noted she also likes. But when I think about the cops, yes, revenge isn't justice, that did Gordon did the right thing not blowing his head off when he got the jump on him after the truck chase scene. But in this country, where a theoretical Gotham is supposed to be, being a cop killer is a death wish, especially if you're black. Hell, if this was in another country, the Joker likely is killed via predator drone. So when the credits start rolling, she asks again about them killing the Joker, emphasizing that he's going to escape. "I've changed my mind, this movie is stupid." I mean, for the most part she did like the movie, even commented her concern that Ledger was playing the Joker so well that she was worried how he was in real life. And even though I still love this movie, it does have me thinking a little about her point (maybe better for another thread, and again, it is jus a movie, but still...) I'm considering showing her "The Killing Joke" Edited February 13, 2022 by Renegade7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I liked Get Out, but Us was a bit of a miss for me. Nope looks kinda cool. But...it’s got a little of that M Knight vibe. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that before the SuperBowl. I’ll give it a solid B. Spoiler It did take too long for the first death but we eventually got 5, well one was suicide.

Fan since a Fetus Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I watched Kimi on HBO. It’s with Zendaya. Basically it’s about an Alexa like device that spies on you and how she gets wrapped up in it. It’s way more interesting than that. I really enjoyed it. HBO original programming is some of the best out there I feel. I give this movie a B+. No surprises, it was just a good movie with good acting.

I’m not up to date on the younger actors/actresses. Anyways, she’s beautiful. half the time I see headlines I don’t even know who the people are if they aren’t 40 or older.

No. I wanted to watch those this weekend, the fiance nixed it which was odd to me considering she has the humor of a 5th grade boy sometimes. There are two types of people, those who think Jackass is hilarious and those who lie and say they don't like it. It's perfect for the 16 year old that resides in all of us. When Johnny Knoxville asks if Butterbean is okay....that might be one of the funniest things ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Maybe there’s a third type of person that doesn’t really think about jackass at all? Let’s call these people “readers” or “graduates”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Watched “Uncharted “ with Tom Holland and Mark Walberg. It was a good treasure hunt movie; gets a solid B. It’s another video game turned into a movie. There’s potential for a sequel, based on the credits scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Watched The King’s Man on HBO. I guess this is the prequel to those Kingsmen movies that were fun. This one is a pretty forgettable action movie with a sloppy plot…. but whoever choreographed the fight scene with Rasputin deserves an award.

Liam Neeson is like Keanu Reeves in that he's basically the same person in every movie now, jus slightly different scenarios / backstories. When I saw the trailer for this, I was like "damn, what is this Taken 16: Taken Again?" Great actor, love him, but damn, for real, b?
