Ive been waiting for this to hit Netflix and so I just googled it. Coming out on dvd on Feb 4.

Learned some bad bit of news I didnt know before.

Don’t hold out hope for Doctor Sleep to land on Netflix any time soon. That’s because the film is a Warner Bros. picture and Warner Bros. has their own streaming service coming out soon: HBO Max. That’s why Warner Bros. movies don’t tend to stream on Netflix, and it means that it’s possible Doctor Sleep will end up available to stream on HBO Max (if it pops up anywhere).

The streaming game is getting complex. WB not going to do Netflix, that sucks.

Wow, hadn't heard about that, thanks for the info. And you're right, sounds like soon, there will be many streaming services out there. I would love to think that it'll start to cut into the prices of the cable/satellite services...but it probably won't.

So finally saw the movie Dr. Sleep. One of the better movies i have seen in awhile. I thoroughly enjoyed it, i am also a big king and shinning fan. I honestly got say I enjoyed the movie more then the book. Though the book laid more background into The Knot and Rose so thta may have helped enjoy the movie more, where the movie vaguely goes over those characters past. Watch the directors cut its on HBO.

Troop Zero - amazon movie, I really liked it. Feel good movie with a quirky feel to it. Good movie to watch w your lady. Had a rushmore vibe to it but the main character is like 10 and country poor. 8/10

viola Davis, Jim gaffigan, mike epps and some more familiar names

Green Book - it was good (im a big Farrellys fan) but no where near what I would consider a best picture winner. It was very predictable in story arc, the acting was equally great but at the same time everyone "over acted" in it. The main characters stuck to traditional cliches of themselves. The reveals werent revealing, they were predictable

It was well done I guess, but seemed a paint by numbers type .. 8.5/10

edit -

Weinstein guilty of 1st degree sexual act (min 5 yrs) and 3rd degree rape. To many accusers for the pattern and practice to not be true imo.

Im amazed at how many movies I watch are weinstein's ..

Yeah me too. It's hard for me to reconcile some of my favorite all-time movies were produced by the Weinsteins. It's like rooting for some POS wearing a Redskin uniform, I try to separate the talent from the person.

Yeah when I see that Weinstein pop up I do feel guilty for a second but i tell myself he was just financing movies and hes not making any new ones.

I thought 1917 was amazing

Just saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a little long but overall it was pretty good

1917 is on my to-do list. Brother said it was amazing too.

I saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood about a month ago too, another quality Tarantino flick. Brad Pitt and Leo do a great job of making you forget who they actually are.

Saw Knives Out; good movie.

JoJo Rabbit - 8.5/10 .. really interesting and unique. Comedy/writing was subtle and great. Highly recommend. Its quirky so be ready for quirky

Adam Sandler should have been nominated and won for best Actor for Uncut Gems

Uncut Gems was much better than Parasite.

the awards are either anti-Semitic or just trash...its one or the other at this point. Id lean towards trash

Saw 1917 last week. Great movie, def. worth the admission price. Uncut Gems def. still on my to-do list.

Its a must watch. I'm really lost on what defines a great movie...Originality and the actual filmmaking piece of movie making seems to have taken a back seat.

I think its unfair to put this all on the Comic book take over but there is also push for brand and franchise in the business. The industry wants to push the easy button. These actors that have sold out to the comic books, they have lost all credibility...they aren't great, these actors never were. Now the Joker I wouldn't put in same book as an FYI, anybody with a brain should be able to draw distinction to what im talking about.

Uncut Gems, 1917, Once Upon a Time (even tho the base story is well known)....this is moving making.

Parasite movie...the story and the acting seemed disingenuous. Overly trying to make a point made many many times in movies over and over again. That's not originality. Poor acting as well.

Adam Sandler...blew it away. Kevin Garnett...awesome. Supporting cast great and the cinematography outstanding.

Hollywood is trash...they don't know their product.

I got agree i am done with the Comic Book shit, enough already.
