It's the greatest film trilogy for a reason! A few years ago our local Alamo Drafthouse was showing Part 1 and I got the wife to go with me, she'd never seen the original and it was good enough to get her to go to Part 2 as well and then they had Part 3 and she decided to just finish the series on the big screen (of course the margaritas helped as well). One and Two are masterpieces, Three is a good flick but just could never live up to the exceptions that got tossed on it. Not having Duval I think really hurt it, along with Sophia as the daughter was just brutal. That said it's become an underrated movie in my book.
Another oldie. Watched Taxi Driver. Controversial casting then 12 year old Jodie Foster as 12 year old prostitute.
Just watched "Young Woman and the Sea" on Disney+ a few days ago. I enjoyed it immensely, but I've always loved the stereotypical underdog-overcoming-adversity sports triumph movie.
Movies we've seen recently ... Maxxxine- was pretty good little suspense/horror flick with 80s feel, right up until the last 15 minutes where things went off the rails. Not bad but not sure I'll ever watch again. 6.7/10 Trap- M. Night knows how to make a badass trailer but his movies just haven't hit consistently. Loved the premise for this one and first 60% is good, the final 40% of the movie things get weird and everyone starts making really bad decisions. 6.2/10 Longlegs- this is one of the more divisive movies of late with Nic Cage playing a very creepy character. Set in Oregon it's another good little suspense movie and this one had me for 90% of the movie until the end, but still an interesting watch 7.9/10 Twisters- I actually liked this one more than the original that I went back and watched before seeing the sequel. It's got some great set pieces (though nothing quite like the drive-in from the OG) and I thought had a better story, plus I find Glen Powell to be very likable in his movies. 7.5/10
