The Movie Thread...

[da big hills]

For the WireHeads, how about Treme? Loved it, great music, food, culture and ambience of post-Katrina N'arlins. Lots of recognizable actors and sub-stories so give a while to develop.

"Unhinged" last night on Netflix. Russell Crowe goes apeshite. Not for the graphically violent intolerant for sure. Needed some Kim's Convenience to unclench afterwards.

If you liked the series ROME and things about Julius Caesar and such, Domina is pretty good..

Seeing A Quiet Place 2 on Friday afternoon. It will be the first movie date with the wife in over a year!

 

[sir crashalot]

Saw “Nobody” last week. First movie date with wife and friend since feb ‘20. Odenkirk killed that role

 

[SnakeCharmer]

I took the wife out on a movie date today. We saw A Quiet Place, part two. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one. It's well done and I give it two mountain bike gloves thumbs up.

We watched the first one a couple nights ago, then my wife and daughter went to the new one today while I stayed home to do my schoolwork. They concur. At least as good as the original. Lot's of "jump scares" said my 11 yo, but she loved it.

On Netlix

So many plot holes you could drive a convoy of trucks through it..

You have "good" crap movies and "bad" crap movies....this was just the right amount of "good" crap movie. I enjoyed it.

On Demand. Best action movie we've seen in a long time. Highly recommended.

I want to start seeing some Galaxy Quest reviews posted... That was this weekend's homework assignment!

Yup... Think the opening montage / credits were quite good... Overall as you said just the right amount of Crap... Hilarious .... Summer free movie... I like Dave Bautista

Zombie-wise I'll still take
Shaun of the Dead
Zombieland (Bill F'ing Murray)

Along those lines
Love and Monsters

The book is sooooo much better. If you can find it in the library, a quick and good read!

Moreso for this one! Completely different story!

 

[Runs with Scissors]

Moreso for this one! Completely different story!

Almost inevitable. Look at the difference 'twixt "I, Robot" as written by Isaac Asimov, and as interpreted on screen by whomever. It was a decent movie, but nowhere near as good as the book.

It was a credible effort by Will Smith, but not as good.

I can't wait to see what Apple TV does to the Foundation series.

Oh good lord, say they aren't!!!!! Nothing good can come of this. It's Asimov's talkiest stuff, and won't translate well.

I've read the series three times... This looks different.

Can't they just remake "Fantastic Voyage" instead? They already blew that one. Or maybe do "Andromeda Strain" again....or "Jurassic Park." Oh wait, I know, let's adapt "Stranger in a Strange Land." That'll go over like a lead balloon.

I'm not bitter. Not at all.
