FORD vs FERRARI The plot is like in life: it is not justice that wins ...
I am embarrassed to say that during the past week I watched Mean Girls and Clueless. All I need is Sydney Wade for the trifecta
Didn’t realize that Amy Whinehouse was in that one.Quote:

The Outpost, based on a true story. So fucking good. Make sure you watch all the way through the credits.
Enola Holmes with the 9yo. Really good flick.
Agree whole heartedly with the last three - all a welcome relief from 2020.
My contribution: Come as you are (Prime). Great story, excellent dialogue and characters
the last movie I watched was Enola Holmes in 2020. Since I love the Sherlock Holmes movie itself, it was interesting to look at the binding. In general, I really liked the movie. The actors are just incredible))
Just finished (for the gazillionth time) Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Not gonna lie, each time I've seen it, it's been a fun time, so not sure why all the hate it's always received. Sure, it has its hokey moments, but damn. Tina Turner and Mel Gibson in their primes? Ya can't go wrong. It's no Road Warrior or Fury Road, but I loved it. :)

Peninsula. Sequel to Train to Busan. Zombie flick. [emoji106]

I watched "The Intern" (2015) yesterday. For me it's 8/10. It's more a drama than a comedy. But that's okay, the movie is nice. Robert De Niro is very cute here. It's for cozy evening with wine and pizza :)
Rewatched Danny Boyle's "Sunshine" last night. Highly underrated sci-fi film from 2007 that super flopped at the box office. I don't know if it was the title or a lack of promotion, but I saw it back then and again last night and enjoyed it both times so was always surprised at how little known it was/is. Effects are really well done and everything holds up so well that it might as well have come out this year. Sure, the third act seems a bit shoehorned in there and almost feels forced, but overall a great watch. Great cast who have done a lot of big things since. Check it out! Not available streaming for free anywhere so you'll have to rent online or buy it. Thankfully I own it so got to watch my own copy. :D

Watched Cars last night. But Hubie Halloween was the last semi-non kids flick. Good Sandler throwback. Kinda like s greatest hits ode...
The Hummingbird Project. Kinda sucked.
Miracle.
Very good.
Best acting I have seen from Kurt Russell.

Captain Ron is the best Kurt Russell movie, come on man.
Nah; Big Trouble in Little China.
We were obsessed with this movie as kids, haven't seen it in 20+ years though. Might have to look it up.Quote:

Yes, BTILC and CR are in the Top 10.
But no discussion of KR can be had without mentioning:
The Barefoot Executive
The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes
The Strongest Man In The World
Escape From New York
The Thing
Bottomline: if you hain't seen his seminal Disney stuff, then you don't know (or fully appreciate) the man...
:cool:
But ..... we're not really talking about serious acting chops now, are we?? :rolleyes:
I mean, consider the early, early years. .......
And I mistakenly thought he was in Spin and Marty.......
Well, he should have been,
808 movie, as recommended by the Amazon thread.
Watch it if you like music
Definitely sit through the ending, because it is worth it. I've heard a lot of these stories over the years about the 808 but never really knew what it was all about.

I should def watch it as I was a radio DJ during that period and then was a journalist writing about rap music and hip-hop culture.
Thanks for the reminder!

Wife's outta town so maybe I'm just not used to getting to watch and listen to movies and music at a proper volume.
I am at the end of Malone right now. It's just on You
tube. Background noise.
Earlier today I watch Battle of LA ? Nothing like some Aliens versus Marines violence to round out a lazy afternoon.
Oh yea talked to a recruiter today "Body Shop" What are the chances I end up at the same company I have worked for on and off the past 15 years?
Last night I re-watched Total Recall. Verhoeven's version from 1990 w/ Arnie. It's on Netflix right now.. WOW, what an absolutely bonkers fun sci-fi ramp. Although I kinda enjoyed the 2012 remake, I vastly prefer Verhoeven's campy, over the top style. The effects were ground breaking at the time and still actually hold up surprisingly well. ESPECIALLY the Mars scenes where they used real life miniatures like the good old days of film making. A good time, so go watch it.
Tenet
Last weekend I re-watched the Matrix. Wow. Even though it's 22 years old now, it holds up so well. Watching it after all these years made me realize just how monumentally transformational that film was in regard to Hollywood big budget action flicks. You could almost divide movies into two eras: pre-Matrix and post-Matrix. It was so ground breaking at the time, and it's interesting to see just how many filming techniques, action shots, and more have come from this one movie. Sure, even it was derivative of other things the Wachowskis drew inspiration from (namely anime and kung fu movies), BUT they were certainly a major factor in bringing it all to the forefront of Hollywood film production.
It was really a ton of fun to watch. Effects surprisingly hold up great, even if some of the CGI seems a bid dated, a lot of the sequences are still pretty jaw-dropping. And even though the 90s-era components could have dated it, they didn't due to the convenient plot device of the Matrix being a re-creation of a particular time in human history, ie the 90s.
Was hilarious going from Bill & Ted's Great Adventure right before spinning up the Matrix. Keanu was SO young back then I sometimes forget. Anyway, if you haven't checked it out in ages like me, you owe it to yourself to rewatch it. And if you HAVEN'T seen it, then WTF are you doing? Go watch it!!!
^^^ Agreed. The Matrix was pretty mind blowing when it came out. And it's not just the action sequences - it was the tone of the whole movie. It had the confidence to be moody, kind of dark, and fairly self serious, which was something you didn't really see in most of the big budget actions movies from that era.
Watched No Sudden Move last night. Pretty good. Requires some attention to follow the twists and turns. Which made it interesting, but ultimately it felt like a bunch of the twists lacked a foundation. A somewhat unexpected thing happens, but many times there isn't really a satisfying explanation of why the thing happened like it did. But regardless, it was enjoyable.
I bought a new budget surround sound system yesterday (finally upgraded from the monitor speakers) and watched Gunpowder Milkshake. Not as bone rattling as I would have hoped so I might need to watch a sci-fi space odyssey type film tonight.
If you want to test that new sound system I would recommend the best movie of the last 15 years, Mad Max: Fury Road.
