Dave, have you seen "Boy" yet?

[Seanny One Ball]

Watched 1997's forgotten classic "RocketMan".
The "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" bit and the "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands" bit are friggin hilarious.
It stars the guy that played the piss drinking traffic cop in Dumb and Dumber.
Pretty great.

The New Mutants: 1 out of 4 stars


*SPOILERS AND NERD BOY RANT INCOMING*


Jesus Christ, I'm sick of this 'let's change the characters to fit our story instead of changing our story to fit our characters' mentality the X-Men films have had to suffer through. Why is Illyana a (racist???) bitch? Why is Dr. Reyes a villain? Why make Sinister your big reveal when he hasn't been a factor in other films in addition to not full out revealing him here? Why do a shit job of explaining the powers of some of the characters? Why do Rahne and Danielle have to be a couple? Sure, there are some things that work here. Making it horror themed is cool. Making it isolated with a smaller cast is fine. Maisie Williams is like the perfect casting for Rahne. But this seriously needed two or three more rewrites to make it all come together into something interesting. They seriously put THIS off for two fucking years?

Now, I should go back and watch Saved from 15 or so years ago but I remember thinking that it wanted to say something but was too afraid to actually say it.

This one does. Very unassuming but probably will resonate alot with those who grew up in a religious household while questioning some of the people who seemed holier than thought.

Solid cast performances all around. Never seemed to hit you over the head with its themes and was just a nice and simple story. Nothing groundbreaking but thats not the kind of movie this is trying to be.

Beautifully animated Netflix original take on the origin of Santa Claus. He starts out as a widowed toy maker who partners with a postman exiled to the middle of nowhere to establish a functioning post office.

A very sweet story with funny slapstick style comedy, touching moments and a bit of coming of age mixed with, all ending with a hint of magic. I think it's an instant Christmas classic.

Blade Runner 2049-2049/10

Prob already reviewed it but felt like watching it again. What a fucking masterpiece. I'm a sucker for Ryan Gosling. Damn near everything in this film works. It's shot beautifully. The score is perfect. The story itself, the idea that Deckard and Rachael could produce a child and the chaos that could ensue should it be made public knowledge, is intriguing. Shame it bombed financially because I really would've loved to see what the next chapter would've been.

[GD]

Blade Runner: 2049 was spectacular. Have high expectations from Dune.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

As do I. But I honestly think it'll flop. I think it would've flopped in theaters and I think it'll flop as far as viewers go. For the same reason Blade Runner did. I don't think there's an obvious audience chomping at the bit for it.

the opening sequence was so stupid i took a full point off.


the hiest scene was so fucking stupid i took a full point off for that


the action sequences in jingle all the way are more grounded than this film.


this might be the worst sequel of all time. just because a film is set in the 80s you dont have to make it feel like its a shit tier 80s super hero film. script, pacing, action pieces, score. all of it is a shout out to the kinds of movies we all gladly left behind. and its deliberate but that doesnt make it good. the very concept of this film is a bad idea fully realised as the bad idea they intended it to be.

The Midnight Sky - 4/5

Since the theatres are closed, this was the family Christmas movie.

Not bad, George Clooney.

[Frank Drebin]

Brave Maeve 1984:

2/4

It never decides if it wants to be a super hero, fantasy or hallmark movie. That's a really bad combination.

I might have more to say later but its your typical lackluster DC movie. Sometimes its almost as if Eric Cartman was deciding what powers everyone gets to have and whom is vulnerable to what at what time. Even the stinger at the end is flat and pointless.

[Destor]

there was one sequence i liked:


the chase scene in the desert was good. tension was high. visuals were cool. movie was a loooooooong 2.5 hours though.

Wonder Woman 1984-7/10

It's not as good as the first and it's complete shift in tone in comparison. Though that wasn't a bad thing for me. It's funny, and cheesy, and corny. I liked the set pieces. The mall scene felt very Reeves Superman to me. And the film itself is centered around Diana still believing in humanity and people being inherently good. I have no idea if they'll do a sequel or even need one.

A side note, Cheetah looked A LOT better in the finished product than the trailers.

[slik]

WW84 - 7/10

I did not like the first hour of the film, it's so tonally different/cheesy than the first film. I did like the rest of the movie however. The score was good, again. Pedro Pascal was a bit over the top for me. I thought Kristen Wiig's Cheetah was more interesting than Maxwell Lord.

Post-credits scene was a nice nod.

[Lock Jaw]

Wonder Woman 1984 - 7.5/10

Not nearly as good as the first one.... took a long time to get going but once it finally did I enjoyed it well enough.... Wish Diana was more of a "warrior" in it and less of a "I lost my first love 70 years ago and haven't moved on" mopey braud...

Overall not Earth-shattering, def on the lower end of the DC movies but high enough to not be considered "trash" like those below it.

If/when we get a 3rd one, I think we'll see warrior Diana that's more in tune with what we saw in BVS and what we're prob gonna see in the Snyder cut Justice League. Which is fine. We saw her character grow and learn a lesson in this movie and it ties up her story with Steve nicely.

[Seanny One Ball]

Which one is Steve Nicely?

if you ignore the source material and the continuity of itself in relation to the franchise (par for the course for fox x-men films) its not bad. its major plot beats are good. action as good as any from the series. cast shines throughout. tons of short comings but with the low bar i went in with i came out from it feeling like it was a good swan song for the fox x-men brand. solid. not great but solid.

The more I think of WW84 after seeing it, the more I like it.... except for the Steve Trevor storyline which keeps getting worse... Like she goes out of the way to save innocent bystanders/people through the whole movie but shows zero regard/care for the dude who's life Steve stole......

It's because she is admittedly being selfish as that's all she ever wanted.

I did a rewatch with my daughter. The 3rd act really implodes the rest of the movie. It got too big for itself. There was a lot going on that gets glossed over and neither villain faced any consequences for their actions. I hope Jenkins tightens things up in the next one.

[Lock Jaw]

Loved the third act where it started getting "too big"

Barbara I can understand not facing consequences because they kind of did explain that what the dreamstone took away in return was her compassion/humanity and theoretically with the wishes undone it would go back..... but Max Lord not really facing anything (and in fact seemingly still getting a chopper ride back to the mainland) is a bit out there I agree....

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I liked the concept more than the execution. I alsoloved Diana's monologue and the music, which, funny enough, was the opening track in BvS. There was just too much happening around the characters, imo. Nonetheless I still enjoyed the movie as a whole.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Like, cheetah infiltrated the white house and assaulted federal agents. She should've been arrested and maybe hinted that she didn't completely lose her powers.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, I do wish there was more of a "wrap up" with the villains... like you see Max Lord does get arrested in the end and taken away from his kid but with the hopeful promise of trying to be better for him.....

Then with Cheetah, I don't care about her getting away with not being arrested... but I do think a little tease at the end of "maybe her evil personality wasn't all the dreamstone" and maybe showing her starting to research into the god that gave her her powers in the comics....

[GD]

Rocky 8/10
Rocky II 7.7/10
Rocky III 7.3/10
Rocky IV 7/10

It went from being an interesting character drama to a series of cheesy (though enjoyable) 80s montages and East vs West propaganda.

I still need to watch V and Rocky Balboa, and also the Creed films. I'll get to them at the weekend.

[Lock Jaw]

People hate on Rocky V but I like it.

II is prob my favourite

[Seanny One Ball]

Rocky V is still a good action film. I mean Rocky the franchise starts off with pure storyline brilliance and quickly evolves into a formula for action that got ripped off so much it created a whole "underdog" genre.
Then you end up with The Karate Kid which is essentially the magnum opus of montage movies. Same director too.
Rocky 3 is also magnificent.

Rocky is easily the best franchise of all time.
Truly brilliant.

[Lock Jaw]

I thought Rocky V was a "better ending" for his franchise than Rocky Balboa

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Amadeus: The Director's Cut 8/10

A drama revolving around Salieri's rivalry with Mozart at the court of Vienna. F. Murray Abraham is great as Salieri (he won an Oscar for his performance), and the chap who plays Mozart comes off well at depicting the composer as a debauched child-like rogue. It's a bum-numbing 3 hours long, but it doesn't drag. You don't need to be a fan of classical music to enjoy the story; you may even come to appreciate Mozart's work.

Rocky balboa was a good fix for the bad parts of 5 but i think his character arc in the Creed movies was the best ending for Rocky we could hope for.. But what do I know? I totally enjoyed the final Rambo movie.

[Seanny One Ball]

That last Rambo film was a fucking stain on the franchise man.
They took it way too far and way too cheap.

Rocky is a cancer survivor who finally made amends with his only son and got to meet his grandchild. All while helping a troubled young man create his own legacy whilst taking himself out of the shadow of the father he never knew.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Rocky V 7.2/10

80s cheddar is replaced with early 90s cheddar, with still the obligatory montage section. I think I preferred it to Rocky IV, with a slight return to the character-driven story, but the whole riches to rags setting was so contrived that it kind of undermines the film as a whole.

[Seanny One Ball]

Pauly signs over Rocky's fortune to a crooked financial advisor.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Rocky is not that daft, nor is Adrian.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Rocky Balboa 7.5/10

It pretty much returns to the original formula of the first two films, with some added nostalgia to rope in the audience. Rocky's opponent in the ring was a throw-away character, but as Rocky was ultimately fighting against himself, it does not really matter. With it not being weighed down by 80s or early 90s cheese, it is the strongest entry since Rocky and Rocky II.

Now on to Creed.

[GD]

Love both Creed films.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Creed 8/10

I'd say it is up there with the original Rocky film, even though it follows the same formula.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'd also like to say that Tessa Thompson is fine as fuck.

[GD]

The Host (Bong Joon-ho film) - 8/10

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Creed II 7.8/10

It maintains the high standard of the first Creed film; if it has one weakness, I'd say the fight scenes aren't as visceral as in the first one, but that is a minor gripe. I wonder where they will take the third film, especially now that Rocky pretty much passed the baton on at the end of this one, and I think Sly has openly said that he won't play Rocky again.


I might have to watch all the Rambo films now; I've only ever seen First Blood Pt.1 in its entirety. We'll see.

[Destor]

first blood (like rocky) is a grea film

[Lock Jaw]

Never seen any Rambo movie..... Just think of Frank Reynolds yelling "they drew First Blood"

[Seanny One Ball]

First Blood is actually a great character piece much like Rocky. Then it's like Sly cracked some production formula and invented a whole style of franchise building that totally overtook any need for sophisticated story development and world building.

Evolution - with Orlando Jones and dude where’s my car. It’s like not another teen movie smashed together with tremors 3

Vanilla Sky - PASS. I didn’t really know what it was about going in and I liked it a lot. Retrospectively sure, it’s kind of Jerry McGuirey and “Abre los Ojos” is probably better. I’ll watch that Jan 2022. Still gets a 9

2006 was a truly horrendous time for comedy. Actually it rules. But jesus crist. This movie was like an hour too long. Also the guy coulda just used "rewind" to undo all the bad stuff.

Also I watched this on Hulu and they tried their absolute damndest to make sure I didn't watch the credits, which were playing that song "You Get What You Give" which that band is gonna play at the Biden inauguration. All this weird stuff keeps popping up in movies that seem strangely relevant, like in Knives Out they kept mentioning Danica McKellar and I'd been trying to think of who the actress who played Winnie Cooper in The Wonder Years was since I watched That's My Boy (another Adam Sandler movie) a few days ago when one of the actresses in it looked like Winnie Cooper, who is played by Danica McKellar. So anyway I wanted to hear da song

Anyway why the f*ck don't they want you to watch the credits... it gave me like a 2 second warning before it switched to some episode of Scrubs that I paused like a week ago... why are they in such a hurry to get me to watch another thing. I had to hit the back button to go back to the credits and then it took me to Big Daddy within 10 seconds twice... was really hard to figure out how to just watch the credits. Netflix and others do this too, why do they hate credits, sometimes people just want to watch the credits

[Seanny One Ball]

Adam Sandler's wife plays a bitch in his movies.
I bet they have wild sex.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I remember mostly liking Click

[OssMan]

He always casts a really hot wife... kinda creepy but kinda funny

[OssMan]

Hard Candy

Fucked up, uncomfortable

[Seanny One Ball]

That film changes a bit now that we know that's a little boy torturing him.

[GD]

Side Effects - 9/10

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Spies in Disguise-7/10

Loaded cast, funny gags and a simple story made it a fu little watch with my kid. Laughed quite a bit.

[OssMan]

Unpregnant

eh

[Seanny One Ball]

Mostly been watching Hong Kong Kung Fu movies lately. Lots of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, sometimes together.
I love Benny Urquidez Vs Jackie Chan in Wheels On Meals. Anybody who likes action, comedy and adventure should watch a lot more Chinese Jackie Chan films.
His earlier ones tend to be dubbed with English accents but it adds to the charm in a way. Kung Fu movies of various eras are very distinctive in their own way.
Early on it was all like a beautiful ballet but the fighting was softer. Then it jumps to violent but still not convincing because it's too OTT. By the time Jackie Chan had turned to comedy Kung Fu the fights are hard hitting, faster, better choreographed and yet funny too.
Then in the 80's all bets were off and American Karate guys kept showing up looking fucking huge at 170lbs against tiny Chinese heroes.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I keep meaning to re-watch Jackie Chan's Police Story films from the 80s, but have yet to get round to them. I don't think I've seen any of them in nearly 20 years.

[Seanny One Ball]

I think only two of them are from the 80's, he's knocked out at least two reboots in the last few years too.
I have only seen the first four but the first two are probably his best films. A good mixture of martial arts, stunts and the comedy is turned way down with a proper storyline in place.

His Kung Fu comedies are all solid fare but he's an invaluable addition to a well told story that just needs a bit of unabashed physical insanity in it.

[OssMan]

Bad Education

Didn't realize it was a true story until the end

[OssMan]

Reservoir Dogs

eh. Seemed a little "cliche" but i guess this movie prolly started the cliche. cool men in suits and sunglasses aren't cool to me. I dont really like tarantino because he seems like a sick fuck. I feel like people probably "gush" over the dialogue in this movie but I dont care. The only part I liked was when they were arguing over which colors they were going to be because that's exactly what preschoolers do when they each get something with a different color

[Seanny One Ball]

Tarantino pays homage to obscure, older and cheaper styles of film making using an all star cast and a huge budget so everything he does looks familiar but brand new.

[OssMan]

Never Rarely Sometimes Always

Another abortion movie. This ones not fun or fast paced like the last one. Which made it a little better probly. This seems to be a new style of movie, slowly paced and pretty much only following one character with scenes that rarely have more than like 5 lines of dialogue. Theyre not bad, just new

[OssMan]

Just watched Hereditary, very un-chill, even felt like Midsommar at times

[Seanny One Ball]

I've still not seen Midsommar.
It looks a bit silly for me.

Triple A highly recommends a short film about incest by the same guy. Says it's freaking hilarious.
I can't say I agree but go in with comedy in mind and see where you end up.

[GD]

Hereditary was unnerving. Midsommar was different but shared the quality of making the viewer "uncomfortable".

[Helmsphere]

Same here.

[Seanny One Ball]

Hereditary was a nightmare.
The scariest film I have seen as an adult.

[slik]

I think Toni Collette should have got an Oscar nom for Hereditary

[slik]

Hell House LLC- 7/10- One of the better " found footage " type movies. It's done like a documentary investigation. It's about an opening night for a haunted house gone wrong and the police have sealed all documents having to do with what happened. The only thing people have to go on is a Youtube video that was posted that just showed that something went wrong in the basement. And documentary investigation begins there. The haunted house builders documented building the haunted house and they find that footage and by the end you see what happened on opening night.


I'm a big fan of Hell House, LLC

@Seanny, have you seen this one?

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've still not seen Midsommar.
It looks a bit silly for me.

Triple A highly recommends a short film about incest by the same guy. Says it's freaking hilarious.
I can't say I agree but go in with comedy in mind and see where you end up.

Watch Midsommar, you fuck.

[Seanny One Ball]

Looks too much like The Wicker Man which sucks

[OssMan]

It Follows

I do not like horror movies, I am done watching horror movies. Why did they bring all that sh*t to the pool. I guess there's some message here about STDs

[OssMan]

The Package

Pretty funny the whole way through. Some good laughs

[poopfromweiner dude]

Sister Act & Sister Act 2: Back in Business

Saw these for the first time as a 30 year old male, was pleasantly surprised to see the general plot and premise get yadda yadda'd. Females my age seem to have a lot of nostalgia. I like that all the men in these movies are bumbling idiots 2/5

Blood Diamond - 1 bag of popcorn really really bad. Watched this in World Affairs in high school but never got to see the last third, I guess I thought it would be good but this is a really really bad movie. Leo and Jen.Con do not sizzle at all, at it's best it's just stealing from better movies like hotel rwanda or city of god. Shocked that anyone could think this didnt suck. gratuitous violence and obnoxious strokes of luck at every turn. When I visit Africa I'm going to be constantly afraid of a a convoy of black men in jeeps with shotguns and boomboxes

[Seanny One Ball]

Blood Diamond isn't great and it has a pretty stereotypical Afrikaans accent pinned to Leo.
It's not a film you need to see twice.

Watch "Safe House" with Ryan Reynolds and Denny Washertosher if you want to hear a fun little S.A accent on a beloved white boy.

[OssMan]

Sandy Wexler

All the Adam Sandler classics showing up in this one. I feel like this movie is made for hollywood people. Netflix really "flexing" their power here. I guess they just had to get everyone together for a dinner which doubled as a movie shoot. Only Adam Sandler can pull off the "bumbling schmuck" character these days. Pretty funny. Good to see Rikishi. Always tell the truth yall

[Seanny One Ball]

You're doing good things for all with these reviews, Ossman.
Pleased to see it happening.

[OssMan]

Project X

lol. felt really cool being 70 hours into dragon quest 11 on the nintendo switch which i was playing while i watched this. this movie triggered "fomo" in me via not really going to parties in high school and also anxiety. lol @ dax flame being in this also. kind of a poor man's super bad, but i haven't seen super bad.

[OssMan]

Teaching Mrs. Tingle

Finally saw this after having the name stuck in my head for 21 years. Love a nice 90's high school movie. I should probably read some of the books the teacher talked about. Dr. Shivago or whatever.

[OssMan]

Cheers @ sob

[Seanny One Ball]

Project X isn't much like Superbad beyond having a party in it.
Superbad is a great comedy that launched careers and pop culture references.

[rez]

Watched Ant Man, Ant Man & the Wasp, and Avengers: Civil War yesterday. not bad..

[Seanny One Ball]

Ant Man should really be the leader of the Avengers

[GD]

That'd be a hilarious disaster that I'm willing to sit through.

[Seanny One Ball]

How would it even be a disaster bro?
Ant Man replaces Ironman, John Snow replaces Captain America, Alan Tudyk can be somebody too and round it out with Nathan Fillion and any attractive woman.

There you have it, the new Avengers.

Alan Tudyk's character would have the torso of a man and the lovely legs of a woman and possibly the vagina too, but you'd never really know with a PG13 movie.
They could have him constantly putting big cucumbers in his purse though, just to give you an inkling.
Nathan Fillion would have a camel's hump and big purple tits and the woman would probably be invisible or something.
They'd all spend all of their time saving her because she was so lame.

[Seanny One Ball]

Their mortal enemy would be Gilbert Gottfried voicing a CGI Paul Bunyan

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Gremlins-7/10

Half horror half comedy. Felt like it couldn't quite find it's tone but it was still a fun watch.

Gremlins 2-8/10

Complete goofy satire making fun of itself. Could tell the budget was much higher as well given how high quality the gremlins looked this time around. Plenty of sight gags to behold.

The Little Things-6/10

Denzel carries this pot boiler about a sheriff who returns to his old precinct and finds himself helping Rami Malek with a case that might be tied to his last one. I didn't care for Malik honestly. Just didn't buy him in the role. Jared Leto is good as the weirdo who may or may not have dunnit.

[OssMan]

Whiplash

Someone told me it was one of the best movies ever and I didn't like it. The main characters are decent foils I guess but I hated both of them

[Seanny One Ball]

It's not a big film but it has huge performances and I remember watching it three or four times when it came out.
I thought it was incredible.

[OssMan]

The JK Simmons character was well written but a little bit tired for me. The music was great but I don't like to think too technically about music. If something sounds chill that's fine for me, which was pretty much the antithesis of this movie. Also there was one very big moment which gave the movie's title its double meaning which I feel like should have completely changed the course of the movie, but it was just a plot point

[OssMan]

Superbad

Pretty funny. Not as raunchy as I thought. Good old Michael Cera. Better than Project X

[Lock Jaw]

I credit Superbad with "turning around my sense of humour" a bit.... before was v pretentious with my humour, thinking that all modern day comedy sucked and relied on expletives and curse-words.....

But then at college one time between classes was in the college cafe where there was a projector playing the movie... missed all the stuff w/dicks at the start or else I probably would have left... but instead saw from after that and was surprisingly entertained...

[Seanny One Ball]

The dick thing lasts about 60 seconds and we all had a phase.

[GD]

Superbad was a good time. So many memorable characters...also the DVD extras were a riot.

[OssMan]

Easy A

The concept of this movie is really really funny... really well written too, clever writing... haha. Parallels The Scarlett Letter like that one movie with Amanda Bynes did with Twelfth Night with Amanda Bynes. She's the Man maybe. Amanda Bynes is in this too. I should read The Scarlett Letter. Good soundtrack. Love a high school movie too

[GD]

It’s kinda funny that her love interest is the guy from “You.”

[Seanny One Ball]

Easy A is a great film

[Seanny One Ball]

The family dynamic in that film is excellent. Stanley Tucci is always brilliant when acting with strong females. He's also wonderful in Julie & Julia. Actually all of the interactions and rapport between characters seem especially strong in Easy A. It's just a quality piece of work.

[The Condor]

The Mummy-- 8.634

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Stanley Tucci is great in virtually anything he's in.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Sing - 65%

This movie sucks, but it has a great rewatchability factor because the songs are very good. Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johansson very good music performances.

Kid loves it

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Sonic The Hedgehog-7/10

Fun movie with Jim Carrey at his manic best. Thank god for the redesign.

[GD]

Surprisingly fun movie. Besides Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz was a good choice.

[GD]

So I'm watching "Spirited Away" for the first time and it seems a bit too intense for kids.

[slik]

I love Spirited Away so much

[GD]

Spirited Away - 10/10

It turned out to be extraordinary. Very emotional and stress inducing at times.

[Seanny One Ball]

Just started "Willy's Wonderland".
Nicholas Cage fighting Chuck E Cheese rip-offs.

Looks like one of his better B movie efforts actually.
More Mandy than Jiu Jitsu anyway

[Seanny One Ball]

Willy's Wonderland is trucking along very nicely building the film up when suddenly it just jumps right into Nicholas Cage fighting puppets.

I will treasure these next 60 minutes.

[Seanny One Ball]

RP gonna love this movie

[Seanny One Ball]

Lots of Rocky-esque montages...

Just not about fighting.

[Seanny One Ball]

I feel confident in saying that this is a fucking great film dressed up as cult-bait.
It sounds like a B movie but it looks like a really well made independent...

It's hilarious though, like really laugh out loud funny in parts.

[Seanny One Ball]

I'll have to write a review of this.

This is one of the most strangely irreverent films I have ever seen. A celebration of good wit in odd circumstances.

Nicholas Cage doing purely physical acting for this role. He hasn't said a word.

[Seanny One Ball]

There have been at least six "Hahaha...wtf" moments for me. All from Cage.
He's just amazing in these situations with the right material.

[Seanny One Ball]

I've been watching this for about two hours, it's an 88 minute film but I keep rewinding it.

[Seanny One Ball]

I watch some brilliant films every week. Great films with huge reputations, a lifetime will never be enough for me to see everything I really want to. I often just can't face it if I have the time because I know there's a better place in time to watch something.

Today I just clicked the first Nick Cage film I saw and here we are.

This is a 4/4 film so far to be honest.

[Seanny One Ball]

I think I figured out why he's silent and weird.
Only time will tell though...

[Seanny One Ball]

Pretty sure this one ends up in my top movies list.
It is magnificent.

[Seanny One Ball]

I doubt 1,000 directors with unlimited funding could make that film better for me in any way, shape or form.

That is a work of brilliance.
I bet film schools use it in future to show how focus and funding can actually turn out a great product in the right hands.

It has gotten a lot of mediocre reviews.
I disagree.

[Seanny One Ball]

RP watch this ASAP buddy.

You will crack up laughing.

[GD]

Soul - 9/10

[Seanny One Ball]

Jiu Jitsu - 1.5/4

Cheerfully awful. It would only be 1/4 if Nicolas Cage wasn't in it for 20/30 minutes.
He was the only person besides Frank Grillo that had any reason being in front of a camera.

It's basically Predator versus martial artists only Predator is a big gay pussy who cheats constantly and is the most butterface baddie ever made.
Great all the way up to the neck, then just nonsense faces. It's like a kid drew it.

[rez]

watching the shit out of Marvel movies since the blizzard. no reviews, just liking the ride. I was mostly just a fan of the early FOX/Sony movies. Iron Man 1 and 2 were good...didn't like the first Avengers movie so I peaced out until GOTG/2.

[owenbunny]

Just re-watched my favorite movie, The Brown Bunny. Most people don't know that owenbrown was used as the stunt cock for a certain scene.

10/10

[GD]

#ALIVE (Netflix) - 6/10

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Wonder Woman 1984 7/10

I quite liked a slower-paced, mellower comic book film; especially after Aquaman, whose finale was a brutal assault on the senses.

The Wonder Woman films have been the best of the DC Universe films, but they still trail Marvel by a wide margin.

[GD]

The White Tiger - 8/10

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Coming to America-7/10

Ran a little long. There were some scenes that drug things out that didn't accomplish much. But the zingers hit and Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall are dynamite together. The whole case is really great, actually.

Hoping the sequel is good

[Black Widow]

I Care a Lot.

Good but not great plus a dumb ending.

6/6.5 i guess.

[OssMan]

Interesting rating scale. A 6 out of 6.5 is a 92%. I'd call that "great."

[Black Widow]

I meant on a scale of 10.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - 85%

Really good! Very silly and very funny. Great cast. Want Bill Hader to get all the awards ever.
