I will forever want a Darkseid movie more than a Starro movie and I'm not budging on that.

I'm late with Halloween Kills but finally caught that. Not sure what I think of the explanation for Myers strong unkillable aspect, other than there should be one. Quiet gory, yes I know it's a Halloween movie just felt more so. Curious to see how they end this.
Also, The Boat on Amazon Prime. This I just came across and thought to take a look. It was a one person movie but has you guessing about what's going on. I'm still left wondering about something, anyone else seen it?. Last edited by newfan; 05-22-2022 at 04:00 AM. |

I saw Downton Abbey: A New Era on Friday. My mom and I were fans of the TV series and the first movie. We really liked this film as well.

Watched the two-part "George Carlin's American Dream" documentary.
I truly don't think it's any coincidence whatsoever that the whole world officially and irreversibly went to sh*t when he died. He was our prophet and our conscience, coming around every now and again to force us to confront all the ways in which we were brutally and stunningly full of sh*t. And even though he always denied it and never would have admitted it, I think at least part of it was in the hope that by holding up the mirror and forcing us to confront all of that hypocrisy and ugliness, that maybe - just maybe - we might be able to turn things around before it was too late. He'd probably be perversely thrilled to know that everything has only continued to spiral out of control worse than ever, and that we have in fact learned absolutely nothing, just as he'd always predicted. The planet's on fire, we're about to start World War III, Rome is burning while Nero fiddles, and somewhere out there in an infinite and chaotic universe, George Carlin is laughing his ass off.

I'm planning on seeing Minions Rise of Gru sometime this week hopefully.
The last film I saw at the cinema was The Bad Guys and it was very good, I loved the animation and characters in it, Mr wolf and Diane especially. But in general, the last film I've seen recently was Howl's Moving Castle, (I've had it on DVD for years but hadn't watched it in full until recently) it's incredible and Christian Bale did a good job playing Howl. |

I did see "Nope." Most people are probably either going to love or hate the big twist. I was maybe slightly bummed at it, but I thought it was a creative one. Definitely a unique take. Also, a solid movie. Just a good, straight up mystery/horror/suspense movie casted well with no nonsense. I would've liked to have seen a couple things that were set up a little after the middle pay off at the end, but it's fine.

Finally saw "The Godfather". Yes, I know I'm late to everything and that this is a mortal Movie Nerd Sin. I simply don't watch a ton of Gangster Sh*t, it's just not my idiom.
Very good movie, though. I mean, it can never live up to the reputation it gets from people crowing about it for decades, that always takes a little bit of shine off, but it IS very good. I do have some problems, but mostly minor. For example, the passage of time from one scene to the next was sometimes downright incomprehensible; several years pass a couple of times from one scene to the very next, and everyone still looks mostly the same so it can be jarring in the moment to realize that more than a moment has passed. Especially considering how MOST of the movie cuts between events happening simultaneously, or within just a few minutes of each other; then once in a while Michael suddenly has a 3- or 4-year old kid and you're like "Oh, I guess it's Way later, now." I guess putting "5 Years Later" cards on the screen would have been a bit hokey, but I don't know. Some of the editing was brilliant, and some of it felt sloppy and lazy like they didn't know how to transition. Some of the characters' specific relationships to each other and why they'd suddenly betray each other was a bit fuzzy at times, but I didn't really think too much about it. I'm sure those bits would be more clear when I watch it again, and also, if I spoke Italian. Perhaps the biggest thing that bothered me, though, was the subplot involving Michael's sister Connie and her abusive husband, simply because the movie treats her entirely as a plot device. We see the big meltdown fight, and it's implied that he beats the sh*t out of her (while pregnant!) and then the movie never shows or mentions her again until the very end, when that event becomes Suddenly Important. It's not a bad subplot and it ties everything together neatly, but she herself isn't even a character, she's just there to get hit and scream, and the entirety of her abuse is only there so The Men can react to it and in turn affect the plot. She, herself, has no agency or presence in the story. In fact, ALL of the women in the story are just props. I mean, I'm sure on some level it's a bit of "meta" commentary on the reality of being a Mob Wife... but I'm also pretty sure that in the 1970s, writing women as Actual Characters was not a priority at all, and that that's the real reason for this. A case could also be made that you could probably get the whole movie down to about two hours by clipping some of the lingering shots of scenery and whatnot, but I'm the last person to ever complain about long movies. Just saying, a case could be made. Anyways. Very good, but with flaws I've never heard anyone mention before. Looking forward to watching the second one, hopefully tomorrow.

Netflix "Hellhole."
It's okay. What it had going was pretty good, but really feel like it had a lot of potential for a deeper, more interesting story that it didn't flesh out. If you're like me and rather dislike when a movie ends in a way that feels quite incomplete -- it does that. Spoiler:

Recently watched Paws of Fury, and LOVED it. As a "remake" of Blazing Saddles, it was pretty great, but even without that, it was hilarious and fun. The fact that Mel Brooks even did one of the voices clinched it for me.

Loved it. Give Fraser the Oscar now.

I re-watched the first two Terminator movies, both still hold up and are good movies, the version of T2 I watched was digitally remasterd but still, not one of the things you go back to find it looks old when you remember it looking good Sadly I remember what they did in Dark Fate when watching the end of T2, but I will ignore it.

Netflix's Slumberland was a pretty enjoyable watch. Got a bit deeper than expected and pretty great on the graphics and effects.
But that bed... A bed should never have legs like that, or walk like that, that's just nightmare fuel. |
