88Comrade2000 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Exorcist:Believer - sort of a spin-off from the original movie. A couple of girls get possessed. One of the girl’s parents tracks down a lady who’s daughter was possessed. That lady was the mom from the original movie. It was too slow for most of the movie, so gets a C. There’s a brief cameo from Spoiler Linda Blair At the end of movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Fast X. Better than Fast 9, but that's not saying much. X is only 10% less ridiculous than 9, but it helps. The teases for 11 have me intrigued, because 9 almost took me out of the franchise completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoDeep81 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 "The Burial". (Jamie Foxx, Tommy Lee Jones, Jurnee Smollett) One of the best movies I've seen this year. Probably gonna win some awards. Said it was based on a true story, or true events? Good stuff!! 127 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Renfield What fun! Nicholas Cage slays it as Dracula. He's campy, and he's also pretty badass. Good movie. ~Bang 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 The Pope's Exorcist. Watched with Wifey, was pretty predictable at first, then it starts to go hard in the paint. Wife could recognize specific Bible verses they were dropping and the twist on the Spanish Inquistion was a nice touch from a historical perspective. Solid B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Hot Tub Time Machine. The last of a breed of dumb, stupid, offensive guy comedy. A+. Can watch that movie anytime, was pleased to see it streaming on Netflix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The Burial, it's on Prime. Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones. B+, highly recommend. TLJ owns a group of funeral homes in the deep south and is in some financial trouble. A conglomerate from Canada makes him an offer, he accepts but some shenanigans ensue as it's a bit of a handshake deal. Foxx is a personal injury lawyer, he's never tried a case based on contracts before but he's brought in. It's predictable, you can see where everything is going but it's still good. And apparently based on a true story, too. Spoiler I like in the end how they show the real photos of Willie Gary and Jerry but nothing about Hal? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Just recently saw Barbie...far more entertaining than it had any right to be lol. And it had like 10 jokes that hit the bullseye dead in the center: Ken's job is "beach" lol, the N'Sync jab, the one voice over joke to the audience in the third act, etc. And the very last line at the movie's end made me say "Oh my god" out loud and and do this: I'll hand it to Mattel...they were as critical of themselves as anyone else has ever been about them. Parading out their truly head-shaking discontinued doll ideas was pretty self-aware. I give it a B for the negatives: - Will Ferrell's scenes didn't really land all that well, only a few hit the mark - The whole "beach you off" joke was kinda stupid and just got less funny the longer the too-long segment lasted - Kate McKinnon just came across as Kate McKinnon, and it seemed like she was trying too hard...they should have cast someone far less known so that you focused on damaged Barbie instead of focusing on it being Kate McKinnon - I honestly don't know why there needed to be any conflict between the mother and daughter, it would have worked just as well if they got along...plus the "conflict" was barely acknowledged anyway; and why did they need to have a completely clueless dad in the mix? It's like the movie script forgot about whether or not a dad even existed lol...and they went back and shot a few short scenes of the dad and inserted them into the mix in post-production 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Quote Decadence, depravity and outrageous excess among several ambitious dreamers in 1920s Hollywood as the industry begins to transition from silent pictures to the world of sound films. what a ****ing movie. Damian Chazelle continues the insanely hot start (Whiplash, La La Land, First Man) to his career. it flopped at the box office and was panned by critics but I loved it. It has many similar themes and ideas from his earlier works but they are explored differently in Babylon. If La La Land is a love letter to old Hollywood, Babylon is the angry breakup letter pulling the curtain back and showing us the parasitic side of hollywood that feeds on the souls of those that dare to dream. Where all of his movies deal with some level of obsession and ambition, Babylon shows us the end of that road. If you enjoy movies and movie-making, there is a lot to love with Babylon. Some of the set pieces are jaw dropping in their spectacle. A drug-fueled Hollywood orgy, the utter chaos of 15 different sets filming at once during a silent movie, an anxiety inducing hold your breath showcasing expedition into sound, an extremely tense tour through the depths of Hollywood hell, and several others. It’s impressive to watch and I was left astounded at how some of these scenes were even imagined much less so fully-realized. at the center of the movie is Margot Robbie giving a spectacular performance, easily the best of her career, as a young woman dreaming of making it big in Hollywood. She is so good that even when the movie focuses on other characters like Brad Pitt’s aging silent star, you miss her and want her back. but it is content to tell several stories of how the shift from silent films to sound films impacts the characters as they weave through the late 1920s and into the 1930s. Chazelle has a lot to say and the ending left me thinking about it all. It’s chaotic, it’s beautiful, it’s tragic, it’s stunning…he is at once tearing Hollywood down while acknowledging the love he has for cinema and how special it is to be a part of it. Much like La La Land and Whiplash the final few moments are breathtaking and also may change exactly what you take away from the movie. it’s a damn shame this movie flopped but if you are tired of movies that play it safe, franchises, comic book movies etc and want something new, something original, you want to watch a ****ing MOVIE, check this out. It’s not without its flaws, but it is imo special. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Old Dads on Netflix. Bill Burr is -you guessed it- a 51 year old dad with another baby on the way. It's basically Bill Burr taking his standup comedy points and inserting them into a movie. If you like Bill Burr, it's great. If you don't, it's not for you. Vulgar, offensive, hilarious. All you need to know is that it's at 24% for the critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes but an 88% audience score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrFan Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Pain Hustlers. After losing her job, a woman struggling to raise her daughter accepts a job out of desperation. She begins working at a failing pharmaceutical start-up, but what she doesn't expect is the dangerous organized crime she finds herself involved in. It was disapointing with a curious mixing of humor and drama which leaves you pondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Saw “The Marvels” this day. It was ok but I think it will be one the lesser grossing marvel movies. Gets a C+. The final scene of the movie Spoiler Teases a future movie as Ms Marvel asks Kate Bishop to join her. There’s a one mid credits which Spoiler Teases the X-men. Monica Rambeau gets trapped on the other side of a wormhole. The mid credits scene sees Monica wake up and the Beast tells her how she was found.

Renegade7 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I watched The Creator with sound off and subtitles while grading papers... It would've been nice to see on big screen, but cousin was right, predictable, he can't lead a movie, and some stuff just doesn't make sense even if its cool. I'm a sucker for sci-fi even of it's bad, but this sound off, music playing, and cleaning the house on a Saturday afternoon mediocre. B- (because I don't have the heart to give it a C for multiple reasons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
