Monty Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 A Simple Favor Positive: Paul Feig proving that, when he’s not writing a film, that he’s a capable director (as his movies are terrible) Negative: The movie sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) Perfect film. Must, must see. Watch it. That’s all. ————————— Searching Usually films with a gimmick, like this one, crash and burn in quality. But it was really well done. Not sure if it was filmed like a conventional movie if it would have been better or not. Either way, it was well done and worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh...it's an awful character (Aquaman)...movie was as good as you can expect from a low rent ripoff of the Marvel character Sub Mariner. Not great but not Justice League awful.

The tone, writing, acting, directing, it honestly reminded me of the Star Wars prequels. Nothing made sense. If you had told me it was written by a 13 year old, and directed by a 22 year old, it would have made sense why it turned into a complete mess. They spent $3M to turn this into this That decision was made by a movie studio that employs thousands of people for ONE movie, and hundreds of millions of dollars in making and marketing a movie, in order to make a billion dollars. That’s why, among all the problems with the film, it deserves the Red Letter Media Plinkett Review. It’s such a mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) The Mule 7/10 Got to hand it to Clint Eastwood, he still can act his ass off at 88 years old. He plays a senior citizen who starts running drugs inter-state for a Mexican cartel. I was kind of hoping for another "Gran Torino" and The Mule is not that but it's pretty good and worth a look. Bradley Cooper and Michael Pena gave their usual solid performances, but this movie was all Clint. Edited January 4, 2019 by nuckin_futz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Oldboy (not the Spike Lee remake) So after finally watching this, as I heard great things, I think I need to watch it again to fully "get" why this is considered one of the greatest foreign films (and by some all films) of all time. The ending, which I'm not going to spoil here, was also not something I felt was really shocking. In fact, I correctly guessed what happened quite early on. And I honestly wouldn't even call it a guess, either. At no point was I, "Oh, I think this is what is happening." I said, "Oh yeah, this is definitely what is going on." I just worked under the belief that I was right, because it seemed so obvious. Going under my correct belief, I watched the film knowing what was going on. Did I enjoy it? At times. I felt it was better in the first 40-60 minutes. After that, it started to decline in quality. The ending itself, especially the last frame/scene, is quite interesting. It definitely leaves a bleak taste in my mouth. Would like to actually talk to someone more about it, because it is quite interesting the implications of what ended up happening. Should you watch? I mean, maybe. I don't want to say yes if you're squeamish, because the ending (last 20 minutes) is quite something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Avengers, Infinity War - 6/10 It's definitely a pinnacle of movies of its kind...but I just don't like comic book movies. I didn't bother with many of the recent ones either. Tried to watch Black Panther, but could only get through 15 minutes. Didn't have a clue who Vision was, or the girl who is his love interest (still don't know her name ). Knew who Bucky was only from Winter Soldier. The only recent one I saw to completion was Thor Ragnarok, because it was hilarious. Some of the early comic book movies and the Netflix series (Daredevil, in particular) are decent, because they basically tried to insert the idea of a superhero into the real world. But as they have multiplied and taken over to become their own "Universe", they felt more and more distant, and useless. Another thing I find annoying about superhero movies in general is there seems to be no real stakes. This movie definitely had real, discernible stakes at play, however... Spoiler ...Isn't it obvious what is going to happen in the next movie? They're going to somehow use the time stone to go back in time, before Thanos makes his 50% cull, and probably before his daughter or anyone else of importance died too, and just undo everything? So in the end, it will be all meaningless, and the ultimate example of having no stakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was training a lot of traditional Karate at the time, was watching and reading everything I could get my hands on that was Japanese. A friend told me I would like it, I did not. Not the type of subject matter that I could stomach. I remember some pretty cool fight scenes though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
