What's the latest movie you've seen? - Page 385

PizzaPower1985 · 03-04-2021, 04:01 PM

just watched this for the first time in decades... have not seen since I was a kid.

The girl on the Train (Netflix)
Sometimes nice to take a change from the usual genre choice, few twists going on, I enjoyed this.
I did notice when searching that there was already a movie made from this story in 2016.

My wife showed me both versions of that film. I enjoy it as well.

This was my latest watch.... one of the new Pixar joints.... fun way to kill time while waiting to go to work.

Wonder Woman 1984
I decided to wait for this to come out on sale/rent in the end. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did the first movie, I preferred the whole feel to that as well as the story. I also refer her darker looking suit too but can see that they went with the brighter colour to match the setting here.

The Yin-Yang Master on Netflix
Looked kinda interesting so I checked it out, not a bad movie, kept me entertained.

I recently went back to watch the TMNT live action movies again that was released in 2014 and 2016 on yesterday. Those movies still make me feel giddy after all these years.

~~Leo656~~ · 03-29-2021, 02:01 PM

I'd rather inject raw sewage into both my eyeballs than ever watch either of those movies.

Oh, I guess I should actually leave a regular comment, too. I watched "Mask: The Director's Cut" for the first time. No, not "The Mask"; y'all know I hate Jim Carrey.

"Mask", the award-winning drama starring Cher and Eric Stoltz that was based on the tragic true story of a disfigured boy.

I've seen the original cut a bunch of times but I'd never seen the Director's Cut. There's two additional scenes and they swapped all the Bob Seeger songs out for Bruce Springsteen songs as it was originally intended (as Springsteen was the real-life Rocky Dennis's favorite singer; they were denied use of the songs for the original cut however so they spliced in the Seeger stuff as a compromise). It's fine; I guess ultimately which cut you'd prefer honestly depends on what your musical preferences are, as the two extra scenes don't add or subtract much either way. The "Little Egypt" scene is kinda cute but it feels like it was tacked on so that Cher would have an excuse to sing, and the whole bit with Red's death and funeral might be a bit much for some people given that it's already a pretty "heavy" movie. They didn't bother me, though; they definitely fit well with what's already there but it's not like a substantially different movie with or without those two scenes.

If a person has never seen the movie at all, I'd recommend the Director's Cut since that's the way the movie was meant to be seen. I like Seeger better than Springsteen so I'm pretty agnostic about the soundtrack changes. I will say that the Springsteen songs do fit the mood a bit better in a few scenes.

They were pretty good. I saw little cameos from Eastman in both movies. They should've left out Tyler Perry's silly ass from being Baxter though. I am thankful that I speak and understand Japanese thoroughly because Shredder was speaking and there were no subtitles! Hilarious!

~~Leo656~~ · 03-29-2021, 03:17 PM

The "Everything Wrong With..." videos are all I ever need to see. Those movies are no good for my blood pressure.

Hokuto no Ken aka Fist of North Star. It's been 7 years since I last saw it. It's awesome. It's my new choice when I am doing workout.
For those you don't know about it. Story background is same as Mad Max of the nucleared world and Ken as the main character is a mix of Max and Bruce Lee.

*frank_one* · 04-02-2021, 02:18 PM

Wasn't his look based on Sylvester Stallone as well?

Love that one. I need to find time to get through that and Ninja Scroll again sometime soon.

I rewatched the Ultimate Edition of Batman V Superman for the first time in a couple of years. Its not that bad. they only bad parts are the martha scene and Eisnberg's cringey Lex. This movie does Clark's journalism better than any of the Superman movies prior. Also that first scene the trinity is in is fantastic with that wonder woman theme.

I do agree that batman warehouse scene is chef's kiss.

Hamato Yoshi · 04-04-2021, 11:16 PM

Brando was to be baddie in Rambo III

Batman Forever 4.5/6 , its okay but Two Face acts more like Joker or something
-------------------------------------------------

Hawaii Five-O , the original (Monte Markham , Lloyd "mayor on Batman TAS" Bochner. MM plays an oil biz guy that McGarrett fears could be assasinated)

The Avengers "A sense of history" fea Rigg (Peel infiltrates school)

Love Boat in Japan (Ritter , Heather T , Danza guest stars)

Iroh · 04-05-2021, 01:16 AM

Godzilla vs Kong. It was quite the snooze fest.

*Allio* · 04-07-2021, 03:01 AM

Kamen Rider W. Still great.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 06-19-2021, 02:04 AM

Just watched Luca, the newest Pixar film. It was really cute and fun, and it had a great message about acceptance and friendship. The three main characters are all very likable, a d the story was simple but meaningful. Loved it.

*IndigoErth* · 06-25-2021, 03:27 PM

Netflix's Wish Dragon is surprisingly good. The dragon's color palette is a bit deceiving, making me think it might be too childish, but it's not at all.

FrederikWolferson · 06-27-2021, 12:51 AM

F9...This franchise was already a live action anime,but now it's a straight up Tex Avery cartoon.

I just watched this last night too. Damn I had a lump in my throat at the end! Got me right in the feels!

Last week, I was randomly going through the films being played at the theater I like. I hadn't gone to the theater since I believe the Sonic movie. I saw that on July 3 and only on that day, there was going to be a showing of the original Jaws. I had to go! Every weekend, they show an older movie, which I didn't know. The other theater (built back in 1928 ) used to show older movies, but there's only one screen there. The price was low too. Years ago, I saw Nightmare on Elm Street there...given that the movie originally came out when I was like a toddler, no way I could've seen it. lol

Jaws is my mother's all-time favorite movie. She was 19 when she saw it after moving to New York a year prior and she said she'd seen it on opening day. This was the first time she'd done that. After she saw it, later on that year she met my father and she took him to see it. My aunts (her younger sisters) came to visit, and she took them. Almost every year, she watches it at some point and she'd randomly brought it up a week or so earlier that she was in the mood to watch it. I'd already had it set up on Amazon for her to stream. lol On the way to her "surprise", she was talking about wanting to watch it July 4 after I "accidentally" hit the next button on my music player in the car and the Jaws theme started playing. lol

Anyway, long story short, I decided to surprise her with this. I pre-ordered the tickets and told her I had a surprise for her. My friend (whom mom and dad see as like the son they never had) was also in on this and invited his mother along. His brother also tagged along. So everyone knew except her. I even kept it secret that we were even going to see a movie. lol When we entered the theater room and she gasped and cried. I'd never been so happy. She was so glad to be able to "share a moment with my daughter" in this way, was what she said.

So, the last movie I saw was Jaws on the big screen. Still a good movie with fun characters you actually can care about without a reliance on jump scares.
