IT WAS AWESOME!

It was exactly what it was trying to be, a low budget, b movie, horror parody.

I liked it. I just wanted more from it. Better than the horror movie I watched last night, Black Christmas. That movie sucked.
 
Watched The Way Back. It was pretty good. It dragged a little bit to start. We get pretty early he is a raging alcoholic. They hammer it in a little too much before it gets to the heart of it. A strong performance by Affleck.
 
Saw the new Judd Apatow / Pete Davidson movie this weekend. Pete is not my favorite, I think it's probably a generational thing. But it was a good movie. Typical Apatow - boy/man has to learn to grow up. It was more sweet than funny, but pretty well done. B.
 
This Netflix movie looks a bit bizarre. But, it's Will Ferrell, after all...

 
Just saw Becky. Holy shit!

Weird seeing Kevin James in that role

Also, what a psycho Rambo girl. Wouldn't want to cross her path.
 
I saw The Disappearance of Sydney Hall. Weird Tragedy but well done.

Yes. Did you see him in Whiplash? Wow!

He was great in that.

I first remember seeing him play a white supremacist on Homicide Life on the Streets. He jumped off the screen.

Then his role on Oz was amazing. He really can nail any genre.
 
Since I’m tired of trying to find the “Movies You’ve Recently Seen“ thread......and this has to do with movies.......I bought a new iPhone this week and they threw in Apple TV free for a year. I’m not particularly impressed with it for various reasons but I did get to watch “Greyhound” with Tom Hanks. Outstanding! I’ve read a great deal about the Battle of the Atlantic over the years and Hanks hit a home run with this film. Highly recommended. Apple TV, not so much.

Greyhound was good. Did you notice that Tom Hanks wrote the screenplay for that.

The reboot of Amazing Stories on Apple TV is really well done. Only 4 episodes but hopefully there will be more.
 
I think the title is "The Promise" on Netflix with Christian Bale...true story about Armenian genocide in Turkey in the early 1900s...brilliant film that sheds a lot of light on Turkey and the Kurds ..highly recommended..great acting and cinematography
 
Bill and Ted Face The Music

It was most excellent

That's cuz he's seen a thing or two.

I remember one of his older movies....Whiplash. Man, talk about dark and intense! I was in high school band, so I took interest. I can't imagine his character being a music instructor of mine.

I just watched "Kingsman" with Samuel L Jackson and Michael Caine and thought it was a great, entertaining action flick.

There are a few I want to see that are still out in theater such as Mad Max, Ant Man, The Entourage movie, etc...

A few I want to see which are out on Blu-Ray, but haven't gotten around to it.

That's a great movie because of it's entertainment value. Now you need to watch the sequel, Kingsman - The Golden Circle.

Hubie Halloween was very bad. I hope all of you have better sense than me and weren't even considering watching it. But if for some reason you were.. just don't do it.

I watched it. Wasn't that good, but I enjoyed it.

I want one of those Swiss army thermoses
 
Just saw Tenet. A mind fuck so big the actors don't know what is going on.

Not sure John David Washington was believable as "The Protagonist"

Kenneth Branagh was excellent

This is why I don't want to see it. Waste of time. Everybody I've talked to about it, have NO clue what it was about.

I know what it is about. The beginning doesn't draw the viewer in...its discombulating. Things don't make sense till you get further in. Its a story that untangles and unweaves itself as it tangles and weaves itself.

At the end you get it, there is some linear sense to it, but it is hard to buy because so much is left unexplained and untouched.

Here is what is about

It is about about finding the source of a weapon that can invert/reverse the past that was created in the future but is being used in the present which is the past. The Protagonist must find it in order to stop its creation and stop WWIII/an apocalypse/the end of the world.

The "Protagonist" (Washington) proves his loyalty to Tenet the group bent on stopping this thing. He works along side Robert Pattenson as they discover bad guy Kenneth Branagh is the one using the reversal weapon, but as it turns out, he is inverted/in reversal and doesn't have it yet, but the protagonist unknowingly gets it and gives it to him, as he blackmails Branaghs wife to get close to him, as Branagh uses his wife as leverage who the Protagonist apparently has fallen in love with to force the protagonist to give it to him.

The Protagonist figures this out just in time, and that Branagh is going to kill himself and destroy the algorithm of the weapon leaving an inverted and linear world on a crash course that will end everything because he is dying and if he can't have the world, no one can.

The wife is shot and dying. The only way he can save her and the world is invert himself using one of Branaghs teo or three machines (the weapon). So, the protagonist inverts himself going backwards going back through the movie as it occurred, fighting himself in the process, saving the wife, and getting the algorithm before it can be destroyed before Branagh kills himself. Which he does with the help of a reanimated corpse who sacrifices itself allowing the protagonist and Pattinson to save the algorithm, as the inverted pissed off wife kills Branagh not letting him die without knowing he failed.

The Protagonist then learns that animated corpse was his partner Pattinson who is actually from the future and they haven't met yet. Pattinson has to go back in and go the opposite way in time so that he can sacrifice himself, but will see the protagonist soon anyway and have a long friendship because everything that happened is actually just beginning. The Protagonist has successfully made it into Tenet, which isn't created yet, but will be created in the near future by the protagonist who was the head of Tenet the whole time and Pattinson and everyone saving the world worked for.

The Protagonist created Tenet, created the Weapon which got in the wrong hands. He insures his younger self is recruited into Tenet which he later creates in order to go after Branagh to stop him and save the world.
 
Watched "Death becomes her" for the first time a few days ago.

Its so ridiculous, hilarious... I was entertained, not sure I need to see it again but it was good. The cast is legendary. Maryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis.

Ingrid Bergman's daughter Isabella Rossellini
