Renegade7 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Sister and I had different takes on Wakanda Forever. She wasn't happy minority groups that are underrepresented were pitted against each other like that. Told her it wasn't like all the people of each capital city hated each other, the larger take away from me was how the whole consuming rage of revenge by their heads of state can lead to possible generational conflict if allowed to, but can be stopped in its tracks if we choose to.

I agree with both of your takes for the most part, except I found Nope to be a big fat "meh" as far as the overall delivery/movie. But I do agree with the other stuff you said about it, and also definitely thought about the other movie like 30 minutes into Smile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Glass Onion: Knives Out 2 gets a B+. Plenty of twists like the first one. A notch below the first one but still good and actually more funnier than the first one. The Netflix movie is playing in selected theaters for the next week, if you want the theater experience.

Warhead36 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 The Menu: 8/10. Really liked the themes and symbolism and Ana Taylor Joy and Ralph Fiennes are amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Saw the sequel to A Christmas Story, A Christmas Story Christmas. The kid in the original is now an adult. It’s on HBOMAX. Gets a solid B+. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Die Hard Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Glass Oninion. It was ok. Unlike the first rendition where you invested in Ana’s outcome as an innocent character…. there’s no real backstory here or characters you really give a care about. Instead, it indulges the audience’s want for the comeuppance of an eccentric billionaire. I guess that’s hot right now. The ladies and their sexy outfits were some nice candy though. 😋 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Hard Eight. It's from the mid/late 90s. Young Gwyneth Paltrow, John C Reilly, Samuel L. Jackson, Phillip Baker Hall. It was good. It's a crime movie, it move slow but it's pretty cool. Very character driven, there's no huge complicated plot here. I'd call it a noir type film. Basically this older guy who's a career gambler takes this young homeless guy under his wing, shows him how to make money. After a couple years, they're more of a partnership/tandem, the younger guy still looks up to the career gambler. Younger guy falls for a ****tail waitress who moonlights as a prostitute, the older more seasoned gambler figures it out and trouble ensues. Leads into the whole backstory as to why the senior gambler took the young homeless guy under his wing in the first place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Saw Violent Night. A violent Xmas comedy. Elements of Bad Santa and Home Alone. Thieves break into a house, take family hostage and Santa has to come to the rescue. Santa kicks some ass. Gets a solid B. There’s apparently a mid credit scene. I didn’t stay for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realize it was a musical either but I did like the story; which was a twist/sequel on a classic tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoDeep81 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Top Gun Maverick. A+. Probably the best movie I've seen in the last decade. (Which is sad actually) They don't make feature films like that very often any longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Just saw “ Avatar 2: The Way of the Water”. It’s over 3 hrs but a great movie. Even though it’s been more than a decade since the original; this one maybe even better. Gets an A+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Emily The Criminal on Netflix . Pretty fun suspense thriller. Aubrey Plaza is in debt and needs fast money. She ends up getting introduced to a group of scammers who slowly up the risk & danger of her cons with increased profits to her. I love Theo Rossi and was pleasantly surprised to see him as a main character alongside Plaza. The story moves along very quickly and reminds me a lot of Good Time. 94% on rotten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) I like watching the holiday movies on Hallmark and GAF. Yeah, the plot is basically the same and there all usually romance stories but its a good thing to watch during the holidays.

Such a simple and formulaic plot but well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
