Movies you just saw

[Gladiator]

I feel like the audience who went to watch KoK isn't going to give it a bad score.

If it's anime. Hard to understand.

13 hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.
"All the Gods. all the heavens, all the hell's are within you". Pretty easy to understand after going through a gun fight, nobody saw coming.🤟

"Remo Williams." One of those 80s cult classics that I finally got around to. It had a good idea with some solid parts to it but overall it was just too uneven and poorly paced. Fred Ward is great in the main role and he has a terrific supporting cast to work with. Joel Grey as the Korean mentor is one of those couldn't-get-away-with-that-today things. But the movie spent way too much time on the Williams' character training and building up the bad guy's story. Then you finally get to the action and things are over before they really start. I chalk that up to the movie obviously being planned as the first in a series but I can see why the movie bombed at the box office.

I never really watched the MI movies. Only saw one of them randomly with my dad growing up. I’ve been watching them all recently before going to the new one. Very interesting time capsules of technology and culture IMO. The second one sucked dick but the rest have been all pretty stellar

Also posted in the What are you watching thread because I couldn’t find this one for some reason, but highly recommend The Accountant 2

Loved the original, looking forward to watching 2.

Weaponized autism brought to a whole nother level

A cape loving Gen Zer I work with was very happy with the Thunderbolt movie. Now, take that with he’s a marvel fan.

Recently watched the Russel Crowe, Robin Hood movie. Definitely not your run of the mill Disney version. It’s more of a prequel version. Not great, but if you are bored, your MLB team sucks, spring college football is over, and you don’t watch NBA or NHL, then it can fill some time when you can’t hunt or shoot sporting when the rain comes down.

Okay, outside the limited scope I have presented, it’s probably not worth the time. Just do the dishes and wash some laundry.

 

[Gladiator]

NONNAS. It's on Netflix. Vince Vaughn plays the lead character.
Great family film and has a lot of heart warming moments.

The chef that play's Nun Teresa, has a moment were she prays for a miracle.
Reminds me of Catholic school with my 2nd grade teacher, Sister Mary Rose. Thinking back, she would lose her keys every once in a while. After the prayer, she would would find them. Good times.

On the rec of my wife, I just watched the 2010 HBO movie Temple Grandin starring Claire Danes. Surprisingly good! Based on the life of an autistic woman who went on to earn a PhD and revolutionized how the beef industry handles cattle. She was socially awkward as hell, but very intelligent with a photographic memory and an ability to see the world from a very unique perspective. Definitely worth the watch.

I watched that back in 2010, or when HBO first released. Very Interesting, and the way she found a way to make the cows feel bettter before death Is amazing.
She's like the Jesus of cows.

I watched the '95 movie Leaving Las Vegas with Nicolas Cage and Elisabeth Shue this weekend. Kind of a brutal, depressing movie. It's a good watch and there are a ton of great cameos from all sorts of famous people, but dang it's a depressing look at a life spiraling to the bottom. Cage deserved his Oscar and Shue does an outstanding job also.

Calling it depressing is putting it mildly.

You think Leaving Las Vegas is depressing? You should see Babel. Ugh. It makes LLV look like a comedy.

 

[zelezo vlk]

I think the screenwriter for Leaving Las Vegas ended up taking his own life, if that puts the movie in greater context

Watched the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy.

Batman Begins is easily the most underrated of the three, in part because Heath Ledger and Tom Hardy steal the show in the second and third.

I may need to rewatch the third because I remember leaving the theater thinking it was pretty trash. The whole city being taken over and cops living in the sewers was just too silly for me. BB and DK were both solid though.

I rewatched them one after the other this past weekend. Kids had never seen them.

That was Talia Shire of Rocky & Godfather fame.

I hated it. Loved the first two. Yes NYC gets taken over by terrorists with the entire police force somehow all stuck underground together while the us government just sits back and waits for Batman who despite breaking his back like six weeks earlier or some shit climbs out of the most stupid prison ever built, shows up, frees the police who are somehow, months later still in peak shape and ready to fight. I get it’s Gotham and a comic book story but damn. It went way too far with having to suspend your disbelief. Trash movie compared to the first two

Not sure you're opinion is valid if you think Batman is crime fighting in NYC

Yeah, isn’t Batman from Philly?

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Dark Knight Rises was too long and had too many new characters introduced. I didn't think it was terrible, but out of the three, it ranks third.

I just finished The Death Of Stalin, a 2018 black comedy about the bumbling and back-stabbing and maneuvering for power after Stalin's death in '53. Great cast led by Steve Buscemi, Jeffrey Tambor, and Michael Palin. Buscemi, as always, is outstanding. Good movie that gives a glimpse into the struggle for power after Stalin, but does it in a rather humorous way.

Great movie. It was one of those where it was getting so much praise that I went into thinking "okay, okay, it can't be that good." But it was. Very creative & interesting.

Saw Friendship last night with Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd. For those of you who are also Tim Robinson fans, it wasn't quite what I was expecting. It certainly had funny moments, but there was so much cringe....

Saw one reviewer say " 'I Love You, Man' for sickos." Not a bad way to put it. Probably not worth hitting the theater for, IMO.
