Merged: The Movies Thread

[SunnySide]

I could never get into the comic book movies or the fast and the furious types or the new star wars, but the way I see it ..... theres movie genres for everyone to enjoy. Everyone has their own unique itch and thankfully, theres a movie that can scratch it for you.

But I do love Guardians of the galaxy v. 1 .. that is a classic movie that i will watch over and over.

Invisible Man - I knew I was going to see a predictable movie with predictable scenes and predictable conflict/resolution arc .... but the reviews said it was a refreshing take and had really good rotten tomato scores ... but I thought it overall feel somewhat flat, not bad ... but not good. It was decent.

7/10 ... save your money and watch it on the couch with your lady.

"Her", Spike Jonze film (of local Whitman High School fame)

Loved Joaquin Phoenix' acting. His tiniest of facial expressions, his sense of nervousness conveyed through no words ... the guy is brilliant.

Liked the mood, directng, feel, soundtrack, cinematography

Hated the last half of the movie as it develed into repeating this same preachy mantra on what is love, what is feelings, what is real. We as the viewer picked up on the theme right away ... but we never explored deeply, instead it was surface level cliche monologues being repeated over and over.

7/10

Could not get into this movie .

Invention of lying -- it was fine for a mid afternoon watch during a stay at home coronavirus day. lots of a list actors, wow.

loved the premise, loved the beginning part which had a lot of uniqueness to it as you were introduced to the movies world parameters (no one lies, everyone speaks bluntly) ... but by the middle and certainly the last 30 mins or so .. the uniqueness and cute quirkyness had run out and it fizzled hard.

6/10

apologies for me rating movies, makes me feel like an egotistical self-gravulating person .. but I love movies and I probably am those things anyway.

Haven't seen this but did watch Mark Wahlberg's "Spencer", a take off on the old TV show with Robert Urich, of the Robert B. Parker Books . To me an entertaining movie but not very close to the TV show ....yes Hawk is there.

Have you seen the Irishman, it's long and slow at times but I liked it

I rewatched Contagion the other day. I remember it was one of those movies that stuck with me a few days after seeing it. Never imagined we’d be facing this type of situation for real

I watched Outbreak, its on Netflix for the bored.

The unsung hero or real MVP in that movie is Cuba. Tell me I am wrong...

Got my Firestick back today, gonna watch like 5 movies. Just watched Brazen with Jason Mamoa. Not great. But a perfectly good kill some time movie.

Bruce Willis is the king or straight to On Demand, Neflix, Amazon movies. He's in tons of them. Starting Reprisal now.

The nightcap will be 1917. Excited for that one.

Just finished the Doc by Ron Howard on the Beatles Eight Days a Week pretty good ,deals with their live performances .

[SunnySide]

Grown Ups -- they keep replaying it on cable so I finally watched it. It wasnt bad, good light cheesy daytime comedy.

[Redskins247]

I too really liked 1917, really liked the way it was filmed and the look it had to it.

Also watched Doctor Sleep...I liked it. Very different from The Shining, so don't go into it thinking it will match that, because it can't...and doesn't even really try. Barely "horror" in my opinion as well, but well done.
