88Comrade2000 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Saw Haunted Mansion. A little more serious than one with Eddie Murphy but still has funny moments. Gets a solid B from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Point Break, the original of course. Gonna go ahead and call this a classic action movie. First movie I ever saw Keanu Reeves in, maybe Patrick Swayze too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that didn't make the 3 hr cut. Lol Truman comes off as a dick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 On 7/7/2023 at 11:51 PM, Fergasun said: The fun thing about having kids and their friends around is watching movies they had no idea existed. "Inglorious Basterds" I have never seen this either. Solid A. "Son of Fergasun" also enjoyed this. "Friend of son of Fergasun" was annoyed at all the dialogue which inevitably added to the suspense of this movie. I am obviously wondering if "Kill Bill" or "Pulp Fiction" is the next Tarantino I show them. Hope this... "Pulp Fiction" - they weren't into it.... toooo sllloooww "Se7en" - same thing... too slow... Some of the best movies and the Tik Tok generation just wants action. "Spiral - From the book of Saw" -- they loved that.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 "They Cloned Tyrone" on Netflix. Holy smokes, what a fun movie! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved all the twists and turns, and I don't want to give any of it away for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Jamie Foxx is his usual excellent self, and John Boyega is downright GREAT. ~Bang 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Oppenheimer: 8/10. Really well done movie with star studded cast, but feel like the last ~30 mintues or so were a bit of a drag. Might just be me though, my limit for movies is generally around 2 hours, 2.5 hours tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Had a free ticket; so used it on the Apple TV movie; The Beannie Bubble. Gets a solid B. It’s about the rise and then bursting Ty- the Beannie baby craze. Don’t know how much in the movie was actually true. Then saw Meg 2, it also gets a solid B. More Megs and Lizards this time. Loved watching the megs eat the villains and tourists. Probably will be a third one, with the way the movie ended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Saw Oppy last night and it was as good as advertised. What an interesting man he was. My family was deeply impacted by the red scare and McCarthyism and I appreciate that they show it, in all it's shamefulness, to younger generations.

Renegade7 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Completed Barbenheimer tonight... As a history nut I respect how hard it is to depict these people we read about in books as very real humans jus like you and me. I feel they at least did the point Oppie was trying to make justice, if nothing else, and how important it was to ask if we should in regards to what we do with technology BEFORE we make it real...not after. Artistic license or not, we have to get better at this for our own sake. US is constantly depicted as the good guys in history, and sometimes that means washing over the controversy of our decisions at the time we made them, not jus looking back on them. Oppie was made for a movie theater, the booming sounds and filling your face with the overwhelming haunting visuals you come to expect with a movie about the birth of the atomic bomb. Still, 5 years from now I can see folks in unison saying Barbie was better because even if folks didn't like the ending of Barbie, it didn't take forever to get there like Oppie. I want to believe this movie will cause the thought provoking necessary in light of the destructive power discussed...but it won't, and from an entertainment standpoint alone Barbie did better. The fact Barbie took the unique position of making fun of itself and landing nearly every punch is how this is even a conversation, I can't think of any other way they coulda made it and it not be a floop. That was some bold **** by Mattle, own your history, will we truly own ours with Hiroshima and Nagasaki? We still haven't formally apologized yet, even Biden has shot that down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Saw the cute alien flick, Jules. A space alien crashes into this elderly man’s back yard. He nurses the alien back to health and eventually tells 2 of his female friends. Gets a solid B. Taken from Captain’s Log, a chapter in Dracula; The Last Voyage of the Demeter sees Dracula transported to London on the Demeter. You see Dracula pick off the crew one by one. Another solid B. Spoiler The end movie with Dracula teasing the lone survivor of Demeter. They could do a sequel with lone survivor hunting down Dracula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Japan still denies a lot of what they did during the war. My exwife was Japanese, I lived there for about 15 years. They don't want to hear anything about those Korean women and their "claims". Apparently, it's all made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To this day their are countries in that part of the world where this comes up from a diplomatic relations standpoint. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-54216632 But are you saying we are saying we should wait for Japan to apologize for genocide before we apologize for nuking them? Because I don't agree with us doing that. I'm open to listening to why we should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's well past that meaning a damned thing anyway. That happened almost a century ago. Even a guy like Biden doesn't remember that day (as if he remembers many days lol).

88Comrade2000 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Saw “ Blue Beetle “ and it gets a solid B. A nice story about family. A little different superhero movie. Loved Nana- the grandma. She kicks ass. The first credits scene teases what could be the sequel, though it’s highly doubtful this movie makes any money. There’s a second after credits scene but not really anything to do with the movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Nonsense Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 "Fall" One of the best twist I have ever seen in a movie. Labeled as a drama, but it eventually turns into a horror movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 One that everyone likely missed. A low budget scifi'ish movie called, In the Shadow of the Moon. Quote In 1988, a police officer is hungry to become a detective and begins tracking a serial killer who resurfaces every nine years. But when the killer's crimes defy all scientific explanation, the officer's obsession threatens to destroy everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) I guess I’ll be the contrarian here. Oppenheimer was a bad movie. If it wasn’t for my family there I would have walked out. Incredible cast. Well acted. Interesting story. But when when I broke down what the movie what actually about, the message it was trying to convey… the story was terribly told. That movie should have been 1.5 hours long maximum. There was so much added that didn’t really contribute to the basic story line at all. And it was boring as hell. There was no curveball/twists… no drama… no defining lines or scenes (there’s nothing memorable about it)… it was just a history lesson. Which is fine, but… Edited September 3, 2023 by Die Hard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Saw the latest Liam Neeson flick, Retribution. Same vein as other movies he’s done. Someone plants a bomb in his car and tells him he he must do what they say or kaboom. Seen this plot before. Gets a solid C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
