Rate the last movie that you saw for the first time.

[Lock Jaw]

Read about a website that has fuckloads of new movies on it in HD.
Watching "Good Boys" then "JoJo Rabbit". Also just saw all of Rick and Morty season 4.

www2.f2movies.to

They don't have Mom and Dad Save the World, so why are you even wasting my time?

[Seanny One Ball]

They have Joe Dirt 2

[Seanny One Ball]

Good Boys is a lot of fun, would definitely recommend and will likely watch again.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Re watching Joker. On the first scene with his psych. Already feeling uncomfortable.

[Lock Jaw]

Good Boys - 8/10

Was entertaining. Slightly uncomfortable @ all the profanity by young children

[Seanny One Ball]

Did you not swear as a twelve year old?

[Lock Jaw]

I don't swear as a thirty-four year old.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Bollocks.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, I guess.... I say Damn/Dammit/Hell..... anything else seems superfluous and unnecessary....

[Seanny One Ball]

You and Bob Backlund

What do you call a penis and or a vagina @lockjaw

[Lock Jaw]

Wang-doodle and hoo-ha

[Lock Jaw]

Durante la Tormenta/Mirage (English title) - 8/10

Felt it could have been condensed and that one of the big reveals was painfully obvious from the get-go... but overall enjoyed it....

[Frank Drebin]

Wang-doodle and hoo-ha

Wang-doodles are supposed to be great dogs for families.

[Frank Drebin]

Everybody Wang Chung tonight

[Destor]

Wang-doodle and hoo-hathis seems unlikely

[Lock Jaw]

Who are you to doubt the word of Jaw?

[Destor]

I DOUBT

[Lock Jaw]

INFIDEL!

GET HIM FRANKY D

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Re watching Joker. On the first scene with his psych. Already feeling uncomfortable.

Still as good as I remember. Also, having seen it before, Arthur comes off far more calculating than I had remembered. Seeing him backstage waiting to be called out on set and rewatching himself on stage, you can see his gears turning.

[Seanny One Ball]

JoJo Rabbit - 4/4

A compassionate, intelligent, beautiful film. Comedy for the right cause.
Taika Waititi is the best thing to happen to comedy in a long, long time. A genius.

[Seanny One Ball]

I was going to do a long review but it really is just a magical piece of film making from top to bottom.

I laughed my heart out, cried my eyes out and finished with a joyous melody.

Beautiful.

[Seanny One Ball]

Taika Waititi after a string of bangers is now in that horrible situation where he will be judged more harshly on his work if it doesn't cut the mustard.
It happened to Alexander Payne with "Downsizing" so hopefully Taika doesn't go daft and waste a premise here or there.

It has to be said he has gotten his money's worth from every topic he has handled so far. I think making a comedy out of the Hitler Youth might be his finest achievement in terms of sheer audacity.

I love the man. I would follow him wherever he chose to take his next movie.

[Destor]

I think his next work is going to be thor 4

[Seanny One Ball]

Oh yeah, sorry I got ahead of myself there.

I was already in for that one.

[Destor]

But yeah jojo was top shelf

[Seanny One Ball]

It made me laugh a lot, built me up very well and took me off guard for the cry.

I remember watching "Leave No Trace" and thinking "Thomasin Mckenzie is a great actor" now I am glad she's a great actor who picks the right parts.
Sam Rockwell was the one that made me cry, he was his usual brilliant self. Pure talent for any genre, a gift for any actor sharing a scene because he will let others work. I bet Sam Rockwell is the best actor to work with on set. I can't imagine him being a dick at all.

The kid was great too btw.i hope Taika Waititi casts Ben Foster and Emile Hirsch someday.

[Destor]

Uncut Gems - 7/10


good acting but everything around it wasnt on par. Script is solid but not great. Casting was exceptional tho

[Seanny One Ball]

There was ugliness, but there was great momentum.

[Destor]

I think i had i just picked it up ln a whim id have liked it more. Likely a victim of being overhyped

[Seanny One Ball]

I'm a Sandler drama mark, so to me it was crack cocaine.

[Seanny One Ball]

Going to check out a few films that look interesting.

Vivarium
Parasite
Colour Out Of Space

I watched "Altered" last night. Was pretty wild, good use of busget on practical effects.

Tokyo Gore Police was a real let down.
The Ninth Configuration was totally bonkers and had some incredible dialogue.

Now watching Knives Out.

[Lock Jaw]

Really enjoyed Knives Out

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Ana de Armas is fucking gorgeous and should've been casted as Catwoman in The Batman

[Seanny One Ball]

She's alright

[Seanny One Ball]

The Strange Thing About The Johnsons (2011) - 8/10

This is a short film (29 mins) from the director/writer of Midsommar and Hereditary

lol... I recommend this. Very fucked, reaching into comedic territory. Good...

<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/155016328?color=ffffff&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen></iframe>



I'm not getting a comedy vibe from this film about a son that rapes his father.

Am I watching it wrong?

[Triple A]

It's def meant to partially be a "dark comedy"

[Seanny One Ball]

It's satire, it's not comedic satire though. At least I didn't find it funny, just disturbing.
It was pretty angry and provocative, and definitely gross.

There are shorter, sexier versions on pornhub that star 20 year old "mom's". I think they are more popular.

[Seanny One Ball]

If you want a really good laugh you should try an Austrian film called "Michael". It's bloody hilarious.

[Seanny One Ball]

I've stuck "Vivarium" on.
The opening is pretty grim, nature is horrible. Hopefully this film gets good and weird, was too wary of spoilers to do much reading.

[Lock Jaw]

where is your rating of Knives Out

[Seanny One Ball]

I stopped watching it, it was boring the tits off me after about an hour.
I don't like whodunnits as a general rule but this one looked fun. It was bearable until I realised I didn't care one iota who dun it and no number of twists could satisfy me after the first big reveal.

So yeah, not my cup of tea at all.
I think I prefer mysteries where you have to figure out the mystery yourself, that clearly wasn't the point of the exercise here.

[Seanny One Ball]

It reminded me of the things I don't like about Steven Soderbergh, if that makes any sense to you.
Premise secondary to dialogue, dialogue that only works if it's smart or funny enough to pull you in.

I also stopped watching Sorry To Bother You for similar reasons.

I get hooked by a premise but the realisation of it is poorly executed for my taste.
I'm like a bit of gritty reality and you tend not to find that in these sorts of films. Too busy trying to be clever or make a point.
Great, but entertain me first mother fucker.

[Seanny One Ball]

Now "Vivarium" is brilliantly creepy so far.
Treading a fine line...

[Seanny One Ball]

This one is going to need a wee review I think.

[Triple A]

I didn't like Knives Out at all either... Felt like turning it off throughout... Felt like it was geared towards ppl who are really into "Lin Manuel Miranda" or something... people who "love Hillary Clinton"... not for me

[Seanny One Ball]

Taking notes, this is one of those films a few of you will want to see I think.

[Lock Jaw]

Really enjoyed Knives Out..... no opinion on "Lin Manuel Miranda" and apathetic towards all politicians.....

[Seanny One Ball]

I didn't like Knives Out at all either... Felt like turning it off throughout... Felt like it was geared towards ppl who are really into "Lin Manuel Miranda" or something... people who "love Hillary Clinton"... not for me


LOL, I think it's just one of those "if you like that sort of thing" films.
Everything looks good individually but together it's inert, like the drug from that Samuel L Jackson movie.

[Seanny One Ball]

"Vivarium" is "my sorta movie"

Elements of "Johnny Bear" almost.

[Seanny One Ball]

Reminds me of an excellent film called "Wrong" but with literal horror aspects thrown in.
It used that opening nature footage pretty perfectly even if it seemed heavy handed and a little overt.

Starting to hope this doesn't go anywhere too definite. Leave me wondering about some stuff...

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Big Trouble in Little China 7/10

I've seen parts of it in the past, but never in its entirety. Silly 80s fun.

[Seanny One Ball]

Imogen Poots is incredible in "Vivarium".

I am going to need to watch a lot of comedy after this.
This has used me up.

[Lock Jaw]

Find Mom and Dad Save the World. Then tell me where I can watch it.

[Seanny One Ball]

Now "Vivarium" is brilliantly creepy so far.
Treading a fine line...


Vivarium - 3.5/4

House hunting goes badly wrong for an unwary, unwitting couple.
The film opens with a nasty piece of repulsive nature and follows on with pastel coloured pop-art sets that look like they came straight out of a housing development flyer from the 50's.
Peter Greenaway would love these sets, they look so plastic and blatant that they themselves supply a great element of unease to go with the immediately insidious storyline as well as the performance of the bizarre realtor.
Not to give anything away at all(because the plot is so small and brilliant), this is a film about a situation nobody can do anything about. They have been put there, they are stuck there and making the best of it doesn't ever seem to be a truly viable option.

Eisenberg always struck me best as a naturally neurotic character playing himself off as confident, which is a perfect reason to cast him here because he does it brilliantly and in an extremely restrained and far less verbose character than usual. He jumps from idyllic to insane pretty quickly in this film, or at least his actions would be criminally insane in any other environment outside of this one. Were I posting this on some turd website I'd suggest multiple trigger warnings for people who can't handle a bit of grit, but in the context it is completely essential to the tone.
Man and woman begin to fall apart over the course of the movie due to the malignant influence of a terrible mystery.

This is a film to think about because it explains so little and yet makes sense within its own rules and decisions. It isn't a strange film for the sake of it, it adheres to its own standards and makes the effort to give you something you can take as far as you want in your own imagination.

This was pretty much the best film I could have seen after explaining why "Knives Out" bored me enough to turn it off.
It made the effort to create a mystery, then it provided solid dialogue and story progression based on believable reactions to the premise.

I very much enjoyed and was creeped out by "Vivarium", but be warned. There are a couple of moments in this film that could be described as "just fucking stupid" if it took you even slightly out of the movie.
Luckily I was already too engrossed to care, however this is a distinct possibility with people who do not want anything particularly overt in an otherwise fairly complex little story about a nightmare in real life.

Excellent performances from top to bottom in a tiny cast makes everything more impactful. The plot was clearly set, well paced and executed well enough to induce existential terror.

I would advise anyone who has seen it or wants to see it to read the John Steinbeck short "Johnny Bear", watch the Quentin Dupieux film "Wrong" and have a look for Peter Greenaway's "Tulse Luper Chronicles" in any form you can find it in order to see similar set designs which surely had to have an impact on these.

Saw no links, and clicked on "read more" and it started automatically downloading a .exe file..... computer probably full of 77 viruses now

[Seanny One Ball]

You click the big play button, not anything else.
That takes you to four links beneath the box where the video will play.
Choose "server GAGA 4".


If you want to watch movies online for free you're putting your system at risk anyway but clicking "read more" on a dodgy foreign website instead of the absolutely massive play symbol on the page is asking for trouble with no reward.

[Lock Jaw]

Dunno, I found the play button way more suspicious I guess.

[Lock Jaw]

Just watched it. Felt a lot faster and "less eventful" than I remember. I still enjoyed it for the nostalgia.

[Seanny One Ball]

Vivarium 10/10

It just came out on VOD

I really don't know how to explain it...so I won't. so fucking weird

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNGY4Y2FkZGYtMWNlOC00MjYwLWE0ZjctYTExNzViOTNjNjc1XkEyXkFqcGdeQWFybm8@._V1_CR147,0,1484,835_AL_UY2 68_CR46,0,477,268_AL_.jpg

Weirdest fucking movie since Mandy.


Oh it was way past Mandy.

Mandy was trying to be weird, good though it was.
This is so weird it could almost be a Japanese film.

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching another Eisenberg/Poots joint called "The Art Of Self-Defense".
It has a very deliberate style of line delivery in it that makes each character seem like they came into the real world from a Wes Anderson film.
Almost everyone is slightly off... no sincerity to over sincerity, monotone delivery of speeches that require passion... There are some incredibly funny lines that come purely from this style of delivery.

Alessandro Nivola and Jesse Eisenberg play well with the tone. It has an odd, disingenuous quality to it. Very funny.

[Lock Jaw]

"Poots" still a v entertaining name

[Sepholio]

The Grudge (reboot). 3/10. That's prob being generous. It's disjointed, incoherent, and not nearly as scary. V disappointed.

This movie smells like cheese.

[Destor]

Watching aquaman.


The prologue is the origin of how aquaman got his powers and its hilarious because its literally "my parents fucked"

[Seanny One Ball]

Would you have preferred a flashback to a man's bare bum turning around to reveal his groin in a fish bowl?

[XL]

What does it say about you if you say “yes”?

[Seanny One Ball]

That you are the adventure

[Seanny One Ball]

Was very early AM when I put The Art Of Self Defense on so I am finishing it today.

Eisenberg is wonderful in this.
Poots owned Vivarium, he's all over this.

I think Guru Dave would love the commentary on "toxic masculinity".

[Seanny One Ball]

Also this is the best part Alessandro Nivola has probably ever had.

[Seanny One Ball]

Oh boy, this thing took quite a turn

[Seanny One Ball]

I'm very glad I watched "The Ninth Configuration" before I saw this film. The midway switch from comedy to surreal drama is pretty amazing.

[Seanny One Ball]

The Art Of Self Defense - 3/4

This was a lot of fun, and a lot of WTF.
Kept me guessing.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I have Jojo Rabbit and Vivarium on my Prime watchlist; I'm waiting until they get a bit cheaper before renting.

[Lock Jaw]

Some say Destor is still watching Aquaman to this day....

[Seanny One Ball]

www2.f2movies.to


El Vaq, if you're gonna see it you might as well see it for free.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Dang!

[Destor]

Some say Destor is still watching Aquaman to this day....i went to sleep after.



Aquaman- 7/10


its good. 2nd best dc movie fairly easily. The script has some real issues mostly around having waaaaaaay too much to do. Several arcs resolve one scene apart. Film is ultra rushed. Also suffers from an overuse of sets even for "exteriors" and when they actually go on location theyre forced to use this wierd vasalene filter to keep a visual consistency.


That said the characters shine bright and the action is among the best in the genre. Some of the jokes dont land but its enjoyable throughout and its world building (albiet very rushed) pays off in a satifying way.

[Lock Jaw]

What is the best DC movie?

[Lock Jaw]

Careful research shows that Destor rated Wonder Woman 9/10, so I guess that.

[Destor]

Oh its easily Wondy yeah. Phenomenal.

[Destor]

If its not wonderowman... what is it?

[Lock Jaw]

I liked Aquaman more myself. Wonder Woman was great though.... and I admit nothing in Aquaman gives me goosebumps like the no man's land scene in Wonder Woman.

[Seanny One Ball]

I prefer Shazam, it brought the fun back in bucket loads.

[Destor]

Least you two picked the only 2 other watchable dc films

[Lock Jaw]

Just wait until the Snyder Cut comes out!!! Wooooooo!!!!!1

[Destor]

Lol in similar news is birds of prey any good?

[Lock Jaw]

I thought it was a lot of good fun, but at the same time incredibly frustrating for choosing to make the little girl character Cassandra Cain.... but probably the majority of "casual fans" don't really care about that.

I'd watch it again.

[Black Widow]

Mulan.

One of my favorite Disney movies and will be seeing the live action version just to trash it.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The Hunt 7/10

A group of liberal elite hunt a group of "deplorables" (i.e people who would vote for the Republicans). Pretty much takes the piss out of both groups of people. If you leave your brain at the door, its a decent watch.

[Destor]

"If you leave you brain at the door"


"To enjoy this you need to have had a lobotomy"

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

You are good to go then. Enjoy! :y:

[Destor]

"I know you but what am i" used unironically by an adult


Lol

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching "Undercover Brother".

I am going to round up all of the comedy movies from the 90's/00's that had a major release but I never had a chance to see.

Sadly a lot of these films will have a 5. rating on IMDB...

[Seanny One Ball]

Sweet, Dave Chappelle is in this.

[XL]

Finally watched Aquaman.

It veered into Romcom territory almost too much with the scenes in the Sahara (the visuals for that were awful) and Sicily, but it was pretty good overall.

My score: 8/10
Wife’s score: 8/10

[Black Widow]

Coyote Ugly.

It was alright.

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching a Lovecraftian horror called "Underwater".
It is astonishingly mediocre, I can't believe that the person who filmed this did so deliberately. This has to be an editing hatchet job.

That doesn't really explain the totality of the deafness of tone. Nowhere near enough time has been spent on the rapport or lack of...
Relationships with only exposition for proof are not relationships at all.

I hope the Ctulhu beast at least looks good

[Seanny One Ball]

Vincent Cassel, Kristen Stewart and T.J Miller would be better in an Alexander Payne farce.
I'd love to see that.

[Seanny One Ball]

Annoying English bird in this needs to get dead real fast.
In a movie titled "Underwater" she is literally and figuratively out of her depth.

[Seanny One Ball]

Underwater - 2.5/4

The first half hour is a hot mess but the next half hour is good and tense followed by a pretty damned decent half hour of creepy shit happening under the sea.

The Lovecraft beast was good too when I finally got a proper peek at it.

Kirsten Stewart runs about in her underwear a lot so to be honest this was a lot more bearable than I thought it would be.

[Seanny One Ball]

The English one is crap though. They just wrote an annoying twat for no discernible reason.

Feminism maybe

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Much Ado About Nothing (1993) 6.7/10

It would have been a solid adaptation of the play if it was not for some rather poor casting choices (Keanu Reeves, Robert Sean Leonard; pretty much all the American actors); it is saved by the chemistry of Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson.

[Destor]

Joss Whedon did my favorite adaptation of much adu a few years back. So good. Shot at his home over a weekend.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

That was a decent adaptation, though I haven't seen it since I saw it at the cinema on its release.

[slik]

I was in Much Ado About Nothing once playing the same role Keanu did, Don John, and all I heard through rehearsal was teasing from castmates about "Almost as good as Keanu"

Don't get me wrong, big fan of Keanu but no clue what they were thinking casting him in that role.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

He was the rising star of the time.

Denzel Washington, as Don Pedro, scrapes through on sheer charisma.

[Seanny One Ball]

Is there a Simpson's episode called Much Apu About Nothing? I bet there is.

[Seanny One Ball]

There is too, season 7.

They really have done everything.

[Black Widow]

The Layover.

Not very good but Kate Upton and Alexandria Daddario or however you spell it are both hot.

[Fignuts]

Vice- 8/10

[Sepholio]

The Vast of Night 9.5/10

This is one of my new favorite movies. UFO type mystery drama set in the 50's. Just the way the story is presented and the general vibe of it comes off like old twilight zone. Didn't think it would be this good going in but I love it. Just something about it man. It's on Amazon Prime Video for anyone interested.

[slik]

I've been thinking of watching that actually, will definitely do so in the future now

[Seanny One Ball]

I watched Ad Astra the other night, it was beautiful to look at but I didn't think much of the plot to be honest.
It felt like Event Horizon in a lot of ways. Not as good though.

I think I'd give it 3/4 just for Brad Pitt and how pretty it was to look at.

The beginning was scary as tits though, a fuckin ladder to space...argh

[Damian Rey 2.0]

365 Days-0/10

A dumb, senseless, directionless movie that serves as fantasy to only the loneliest, most thirsty of sexless women.

A very young, handsome and muscular mobster almost dies in a deal gone wrong. He then makes it his mission to find, kidnap and win the love of a woman who he randomly saw for 2 seconds thru his car window.

Once he's kidnapped her, the love interest makes a series of a dumb decisions as they try to tease sexualtension. The turning point where are finally breaks its really stupid. The movie itself doesn't even meet its own movie title.

The movie has nudity galore, and 12 year old me would've loved all the scenes where the female lead just has her titties out and about.

34 year old me is rolling their eyes throughout wondering when this movie will finally end. I watched this because my gf was interested in seeing it. She thought it was dumb and was a wishapp version of 50 shades of grey.

[Seanny One Ball]

So it's Boxing Helena aimed at women in 2020?
Or is it The Collector?

The Collector book and film has been a sex-killer favourite for quite a while.
Is it wise to be making erotica out of something that keeps happening in real life?

[OssMan]

"Us"

Pretty good... not that into horror movies...

It's neither of those. I have trouble describing exactly what it is because it as almost insulting dumb.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Tu Hijo-5/10

A man's son is beaten within an inch of his life in what seems like a senseless act of violence. His father, a doctor, sets out to try to find out who did as opposed to why.

It's a long, boring, slow moving story that plays out mostly how'd you expect, but so little happens throughout that it's hard to stay invested. The plot twist at the end is ok but it was a drag to make it that far.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Jojo Rabbit 8/10

Tonally, the film is all over the place and sometimes it can be rather jarring, but overall I thought it was a really good film.

[rez]

Midsommar. I liked it overall. It probably dragged on a lil bit too long tho

[slik]

Christian Hosoi would be a good documentary subject too.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Also Ed Norton is fucking amazing in this

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Birdman-10/10

A manic, high paced study of a washed up superhero actor trying to gain relevance and feed his own narcissistic view of himself by writing, directing and starring in a Broadway show. The movie has a breakneck pace and the cast is superb.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

My daughter asked to watch the original Ghostbusters with me. So proud.

Anyone seen any funny movies that have come out in the past 5-10 years? Seems like all the movies I find funny are like 10-15 years old now and I've seen them a bunch of times.Longshot and Nice Guys are a couple pretty good ones.

Can probably think of more later.

[Seanny One Ball]

The Nice Guys is superb, a real comedy with some arse in it. Long Shot is bollocks.

[Seanny One Ball]

"Free Fire" would be a good movie to watch after or before "The Nice Guys".

Two great crime comedies.

The King Of Staten Island - 7/10

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Destroyer-7/10

Been trying to watch this movie since it's limited release in 2018. It was pretty good. Nicole Kidman is very good. But he performance wasn't as transformative as some of the reviews I read would lead you to believe.

Anyways....a drunkn old detective went deep undercover early in her career with tragic results. She finds out the person they were undercover to investigate is back, and the story plays out from there, with her basically going rogue to pursue leads and showing flashbacks to how the operation was botched, leading her life to become the shit hole it is.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[Black Widow]

Palm Springs.

Didn't expect to like it as much as i did.

8/10

[Fignuts]

The Hunt - 8/10

This was good fun

[Damian Rey 2.0]

The Old Guard-7/10

Fun movie with an interesting premise but uninteresting characters and basic story. Ended with a chance for a sequel but I wonder if it'll get one.

[Lock Jaw]

Decided to watch Detective Pikachu...... beginning was v cringeworthy and the main actor is terrible in it and I considered just turning it off.... but I don't do things that way so stuck with it...

Naturally became better when the voice of Ryan Reynolds appeared, but felt like most of the best jokes were in the trailers anyways.

Overall I'd give it uhhhh maybe 6/10. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more as a youth, I don't know.

[Seanny One Ball]

Ronin - 3.5/4

High volumes of fast paced heist action with gunplay galore interlocked by some slick, droll repartee between fine fine actors.

Mcelhone, De Niro and Reno are the main players backed up by Bean and Pryce so the facial acting is all very earnest without the slightest scene chewing.

All in all it's a top tier action film and a great example of style and substance working perfectly to improve what is otherwise a fairly familiar "game of cat and mouse" plot.

It works though, especially if you like car chases.

[Triple A]

Barry Lyndon (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072684/) (1975) - 10/10

Not the first time I've seen it, but haven't seen it since like 2003. Upped it from an 8 or 9/10 to a 10/10 I think...

Beautiful... literally every shot "like a painting"... lots of characters with really funny-looking, strange faces, which I always like... Bizarre, detached characters... Subtly very funny and doesn't take itself too seriously... Very good...

Was one of the last Stanley Kubrick movies I watched because I didn't think I'd like it that much but I really liked it :-)

Freaks - 3/4

Supervillain origin story.
Better than Brightburn.
Emile Hirsch is yet again the best part of a genre embracing indie film. The man gives more to cinema than a one armed projectionist.

[GD]

Four Lions - 6/10

It was really uncomfortable to watch.

[Seanny One Ball]

It's a masterpiece and it's not written to be a safe laugh. It's written to make clear the absurdity of the topic it presents to you.

[GD]

Agreed. Maybe I'll revisit it later on. I can't see myself watching it again anytime soon. Was thoroughly impressed by Riz Ahmed.

Riz Ahmed is right next to Daniel Kaluuya as the future of UK acting.
England does amazing things with their acting schools. I wish I could have gone to one.

[Afterlife]

"Looks That Kill".

Came out this year; it's a fun story about a kid who's so beautiful, people die when they see his face. So far, it's my favorite movie of 2020.

[Seanny One Ball]

Fag

[Afterlife]

Rude.

[Bad News Gertner]

Athlete A - 8/10. USA Gymnastics is quite fucked up.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

The Equalizer-7/10

Fun violence in a movie that had a wider ranging plot than I expected. It feels like a movie The Rock would be in. Denzel being in it elevates it higher than it otherwise would be.

[Seanny One Ball]

It coming out when John Wick came out was a foolish studio decision that relegated The Equalizer to "fun genre flick" status when it's actually a solid character piece.

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching Netflix's Grindhouse homage "VFW".

It's B Movie Expendables with Romero levels of gore.
Martin Kove is in it.

[Seanny One Ball]

Yeah you guys need to get in on this.

VFW is the tits

[Seanny One Ball]

I might watch this again and take notes.
So good, so straightforward.

[Lock Jaw]

Better/worse than UHF?

[Seanny One Ball]

You shut it

[Seanny One Ball]

Good Burger still as good as it was when I was a kid, teen and grown man. Just checking in.

I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude and we're all dudes hey!

[Seanny One Ball]

Keenan and Kel were just fantastic together.
I watched everything they did when I was a boy growing up. They were the best.

[Seanny One Ball]

Man, Kel really beats the shit out of Carmen Electra in this flick.
I forgot about that. I think he's a minister or something now.

[Black Widow]

Keenan and Kel were just fantastic together.
I watched everything they did when I was a boy growing up. They were the best.They along with Rugrats was my favorite Nickelodeon shows.

[Seanny One Ball]

Rugrats was also good shit. There was some tortured writer that killed himself ages ago who's only real writing credit was for Rugrats.

I forget his name.

[Seanny One Ball]

It turns out it was the guy who wrote "Leaving Last Vegas".

That is wild.

[Lock Jaw]

The Goonies - 8.5/10

PrettyCool I guess....

[Damian Rey 2.0]

It coming out when John Wick came out was a foolish studio decision that relegated The Equalizer to "fun genre flick" status when it's actually a solid character piece.

Truth be told, despite trying, I have yet to ever finish a John Wick movie. I've probably fired up the first film a handful times in an attempt to try, but I couldn't get into it. At all

Equalizer was easier for me dive into. Partly because of Denzel. And also because, like you said, it's a decent character movie.

[Lock Jaw]

Still need to watch the third one.

First one isn't great, it is hard to get into as it does feel like there is never any stakes or danger. I know that wasn't the point of it, but for me it made it hard to get through.

I remember loving the second one, though and being excited for the third to come out..... and then I never watched it....

[Seanny One Ball]

The third one is not a film you will remember anything about after seeing it.

[Lock Jaw]

Tbh even though I really enjoyed the second one I barely remember anything about it either. Need to rewatch it before the third one.

[Frank Drebin]

Rugrats was also good shit. There was some tortured writer that killed himself ages ago who's only real writing credit was for Rugrats.

I forget his name.

Crazy Edgar. RIP

[Seanny One Ball]

Edgar Davids

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching "The Other Guys" for the first time in years.

Christineth scene still one of the funniest things ever filmed.

"I wuv yoo Chwistineff"

[GD]

Quality movie.

[Seanny One Ball]

Quite possibly the last good movie those two made tbh

[Black Widow]

Instant Family.

Enjoyed it more than i expected.


Dazed and Confused.

Pretty funny still prefer a couple other stoner comedies.

[Seanny One Ball]

Dazed And Confused isn't a stoner comedy.
It's a great film.

[GD]

Instant Family was certainly Wahlberg's last good movie.

[GD]

Relic - 6/10

It got a little disturbing towards the end.

[Seanny One Ball]

I watched 1917, that was a good film until the scenes of running where it became one of the greatest things I have ever seen.
It was pretty amazing stuff, I would like to see a documentary about how that was all achieved.

Probably a 3/4 film in 4/4 clothing.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, breathtaking achievements in that film..... even if I do get distracted by things like that always trying to see where they hide the cuts

[Seanny One Ball]

You'd say the same thing if you had angsty teenage daughters.

[Destor]

Yeah, breathtaking achievements in that film..... even if I do get distracted by things like that always trying to see where they hide the cutswhen i was watching 1917 i thought on several occasions they had to be digital cuts. When i watched the making of it blew my mind just how few cuts there were and the mind boggling lengths they went to to make those shots happen. Its insanity.

Probably a 3/4 film in 4/4 clothing.you really should. Camera men running along side them in fluid motion taking it off wheeled dollys and placing it onto trucks annd even helicopter and crane shots. Multiple hand offs offs per scene. Its jaw dropping. Including inventing some new technologies just to make these shots happen. Its like watching a mad scientist at work

Now I need to track down this making of......

[GD]

Watching "Becky" where Kevin James plays a neo-Nazi.

[GD]

Becky - 5/10

This outlandish post on Reddit :lol:


https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/h0bwnn/anyone_able_to_explain_of_ending_of_becky_2020/

I think u/kirinmay was on the right track.

At the beginning of the movie, Becky is doodling the SS bolts over her name on a test which is a Nazi symbol.

At the gas station Becky looks around at the white people in the family reunion shirts and stops to stare at the one non-white looking woman then leaves the store to wait outside while her dad shops.

When they get to cabin, Becky starts off "She wouldn't want us to sell it. Just because she isn't here anymore..." and her dad cuts her off that he'd changed his mind last minute not to sell it. This would seem to imply the cabin was more her mom's than her dad's.

When her dad says he's getting married to Kayla, Becky looks at her with disgust and blurts out "She would have hated you!"

The Nazis have been in prison 9+ years and the literal key to their Nazi plan that they've been working on for years is hidden in cabin where they know it is in the basement.

When the Nazis get to the cabin they don't know Jeff or Becky at all, nor do Jeff or Becky know them.

Jeff was unaware of the key or the Nazi plan. Becky was aware of at least the key.

So my theory is that the dead mother was a Nazi and working with them on their plan. The plan had been in the works for much longer than she had been dead. She was keeping the key for them in the basement of her cabin. The Nazis found out she had died and the cabin was going up for sale so they orchestrated their prison escape to collect the key to move forward with the plan before someone could buy the cabin and trash the key.

Jeff possibly only tolerated his wife's racism (not knowing her Nazi affiliations) or was himself racist until he fell in love with a black woman after her death. Becky knew more about that side of her mom, hence her doodling Nazi symbols, appearing bothered by mixed race families, and knowing of the key to the Nazi plan.

However, since the Nazis kill her dog and threaten her family before she even knows who they are she takes action against them and kills them all out of revenge. She then keeps the key for herself rather than telling the authorities about it.

Is Becky racist? I think she has picked up some racism from her mother. Is Becky actually a Nazi too and keeping the key to continue her mothers plan on her own or is she just holding onto it as some morbid keepsake? It's hard to say.

[Seanny One Ball]

A guy I work with(idiot) told me that it was filmed by a man running behind while holding two cameras.
He was serious too.

I mean he's a nice guy but come on...

[Destor]

Some shots were achieved by men running on foot. Dunno what the 2nd camera would be for

[Frank Drebin]

Filming

[Lock Jaw]

For shooting on digital and film at the same time

[Destor]

We're talking about a film shot to look like it has no edits. How would you use any footage from the 2nd camera

[GD]

I randomly decided to watch Shame and jfc I did not expect this movie to be so visceral.

[Fignuts]

Anyone else dislike endings where the villains get away with everything scott free. Mostly common in horror and suspense movies.

I think it's because I love revenge movies. I love them so much that when I see an antagonist do horrible things throughout a movie, I expect comeuppance. And when I don't get it, it's pretty disappointing.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I don't know; when the baddies started getting their comeuppance in Game of Thrones, that is when it began to suck.

[GD]

Shame - 9/10

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Hobbs and Shaw - 85%

Put the kid down for a nap today and was also gonna nap. Saw this on HBO and thought it would be a good dumb movie to watch before falling asleep. Nope. Really good, stupid, popcorn flick that for over two hours just flew by.

Never got that nap in and now I’m tired.

[Bobholly138]

Bloodshot-decent action flick 3 outta 5

Man vs Snake-niche docu 3 outta 5

Special when lit-pinball documentary 4.5 outta 5.

Pretty much every great movie has an act of revenge, comeuppance or defiance in it.

Unless you are watching Michael Haneke in which case be prepared to leave bitterly unfulfilled.

[Bad News Gertner]

Relic : 6.5/10. It was aight. The ending sucked.

[Fignuts]

What Keeps You Alive- 8/10

Great horror film.

[GD]

Relic : 6.5/10. It was aight. The ending sucked.

While I didn't get much out of the movie, I thought the ending was an interesting take on...


....mental health issues and family. The skin peeling scene was a bit too much but I guess it symbolized how the daughter was finally coming to terms with her mother's sickness. Accepting her for what she had become. The part where the granddaughter noticed the mold growing on her mother's back was heavy as well. There was no escaping the illness, probably because it was genetic and she was also end up succumbing to it with age.

[Bad News Gertner]

Yeah I get what they were doing, it just felt hokey and out of place.

[Black Widow]

The Call Of The Wild.

Pretty good but im also biased towards animal movies.


You Should Have Left.

Okay i guess.

[Seanny One Ball]

Contagion - 2/4

An impressive overhead of a rapidly spreading pandemic left overweight and dragging by a cast of superfluous characters given no time to grow or develop.
Still worth a watch just for the similarities with real pandemics. Good science for once here.

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching "An American Pickle" now.
Pretty light going for Seth Rogan.

[slik]

Rebecca - 9.5/10

Had never seen this Hitchcock film before, I really liked everything about it.

[GD]

1917 - 8/10

[Seanny One Ball]

An American Pickle - 2/4

It's not as good as a film about a guy preserved in preserves for 100 years should be, if I'm being honest.
Far more melancholy than necessary too... A really strange mixture of light and low.

[GD]

Just started to watch the film. The seltzer scene got me good. As silly as it sounds <3

[GD]

An American Pickle - 6/10

Certainly not the direction I was expecting it to go. But I am a sucker for family movies. Seth Rogen was actually good.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Lies. Seth Rogen is never good.

Imogen me Pooting you in the shin, El Vaq.

There were a couple of scenes that I loved and think belong in better films.
Lots of sweetness but far too woeful for the duration.

[Bad News Gertner]

Red Penguins- 8/10. Really interesting documentary

[RP]

I just watched Knives Out and I honestly thought it was just ok. It wasnt as good as everyone said it was. It was just decent. Not bad. Good. I'd give it a 7/ 10

[Bad News Gertner]

I really gotta watch that movie. I love the movie Clue and my buddy said if I liked that I would like Knives Out

[Seanny One Ball]

Knives Out is extremely tiresome.

Did not finish.

[Lock Jaw]

Loved Knives Out.

Think comparing it to Clue may be a stretch, other than they are both murder mysteries with a large cast.

[Seanny One Ball]

Clue sucked too

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching some older films via piracy.

80's comedies ranging from Monster Squad to Throw Momma From The Train.
I may do a Chevy or Candy binge at some point. It needs doing.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I recall enjoyingmonster squad

[Seanny One Ball]

Throw Momma From The Train is very good shit.
De Vito owning it with pure De Vito-ness.
Kate Mulgrew used to be very attractive, could only be a few years before Star Trek too. Interesting developments.

[GD]

Knives Out is extremely tiresome.

Did not finish.

Go watch Jack and Jill and see your DVD towers come tumbling down.

[Seanny One Ball]

Monster Squad was top class though. No denying the fun of a monster movie with some very well written gags.

I think it made me laugh around 7 minutes in when one kid drops his friend in it in the principal's office and then says "how rude".

[Seanny One Ball]

Go watch Jack and Jill and see your DVD towers come tumbling down.


Jack And Jill is easy to reach. Sandler has an entire stack of his own just behind the Coen brothers.

Jack And Jill is a hilarious film btw. Very underrated.

[Seanny One Ball]

Sandler, Stiller, Ferrell and Judd Apatow used to all get their own stack. Now only Sandler remains.
The Coen bros get their own stack too as does Gervais.

All other stacks are genre related.

[Bad News Gertner]

Sandler is the worst.

Catch Me If You Can - 7/10

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Batman Returns-8/10

Did a re watch and forgot how much i used too enjoy this movie. Not the best Batman movie, but imo the best of the original 4. The look, mood, sets and costume design is top notch and the story works. Used to be my fave of the original 4 as a kid and it holds up for me.

[Destor]

whats the best in your opinion?

[rez]

Catch Me If You Can - 7/10

gr8 movie..

[Damian Rey 2.0]

whats the best in your opinion?

For me, it's The Dark Knight. Felt like a graphic novel come to life. I thought all the characterizations were spot on and the story had real heft, comparatively to other comic book inspired movies.

TDKRises still my fave tho.

[therocksays]

Clue sucked too

clue sucked? you wouldn't know what a good movie was if it bit you on the ass

or you are the type of guy that watches chick flicks with his girlfriend, but doesn't watch them to get laid, you actually want to watch them also.

[GD]

Attempting to watch "Assassin's Creed". What a disaster.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Official Secrets 7/10

A solid legal/press drama around the leaking of a NSA memo by a British intelligence officer prior to the 2003 Iraq invasion and the legality of the action.

[Seanny One Ball]

If a movie bites it isn't good.

Also I don't have a girlfriend you stupid bastard. So who's laughing now?!

Hahahahaha!

Ha!

[Seanny One Ball]

Oh please :roll:


I don't particularly care if you like it or not Dave.
A comedy film has one job and that isn't to be a well written masterpiece, it's to make me laugh.

[Seanny One Ball]

Watching "Jumanji: The Next Level" and it is very funny already. Lots of good laughs early on before the action gets going. Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson doing impressions of Danny Glover and Danny Devito is high level shtick.

[GD]

Palm Springs - 10/10

[Lock Jaw]

Tenet - 7/10

Didn't find it anything too great, probably one of his weakest movies

[slik]

The New Mutants - 7/10

I'm not sure why they waited forever to release it. The final fight goes a little too long and is predictable and some of the CGI was workable rather than great but I enjoyed it overall. I thought it worked well as a superhero meets horror flick (I'd say it's more of a horror flick).

[Destor]

First Blood- 9/10


im a bit tired so I'll keep this brief. what action films arent. i typically pass on the genre. tends to be mindless. the violence has a voice and its all very well communicated. i should have watched this decades ago. def a case where the sequels tarnished the name so i never checked it out.

[Seanny One Ball]

Now do Rocky 3

[Destor]

is that the one with lungran
