Den of Thieves

All Day and a Night

Extraction

Watched all three of them this weekend. All were good. Zero complaints about any of them.

Add "Dangerous Lies" to the list. Not a bad movie either.

The Rise of Skywalker. 

Just Mercy 9/10

Just Mercy 9/10

I saw Just Mercy in the theater and agree it was very good. 

I also watched True Justice: Bryan Stevenson's Fight for Equality. It was very well done. Sobering and inspiring. It's on HBO and Hulu.

Days of Thunder. 7/10

Watched ARGO this afternoon.

Great movie. I watched it again like 3 years ago and thought it had held up well.

You think the 2012 movie held up well when you rewatched in 2016? 

Kicking and Screaming 

4/10

Lots. But I guess re-watchable is probably a better term. Tons of movies are great first time and then second viewing not as gripping or just not as great for whatever reason. Especially a movie like Argo, when you know the scenes the suspense can be gone. But it’s still excellent viewing. 

Like Boyhood has not aged well from that same year. 

Forrest Gump 8/10

Terminator 2  7/10

It's amazing how far the CGI has come since the 90s.

Watched Train to Busan again a couple nights ago. For me, a 10/10 and it's my personal "Best Zombie Movie EVAR".

The Lodge

4/10

Maybe it's just me, but as much as I love horror movies, I cannot stand these so called "atmospheric" horror movies like the witch, hereditary and now... The Lodge.

I get that they are different, but they lack something..... Like they aren't scary, just boring

Good review. 

I liked Uncut Gems, went 8/10. But I had to lol at someone’s Twitter review that it’s basically a movie about running errands, which is spot on.

I watched this over the weekend. It's solid, but doesn't come close to best ever for me. 

Some parts of the storyline were just dumb. They have no idea this is happening and just hop on the train? Zero indication of how the outbreak started. Also the ending was meh, he couldn't overpower that old dickhead?

I do like the realism of the zombies though, that kicked ass.

The sequel is coming out next month.

I watched another zombie flick too. Girl With All the Gifts. Nothing mind blowing, but entertaining. You should check it.

Huh, you know, I never did make the connection between how no one knew anything was going on until the first on-train zombie attack, despite the fact it got so bad so quickly that Seoul was overrun not all that much farther into the movie. I mean, in context, his trip to Busan was to only eat up the morning as far as his schedule went, so that means that Seoul went from "normal enough that no one was commenting on anything weird" to "everything's collapsed" in a couple hours.

With the end, I did find it annoying how it was obvious the asshole dude was turning and the main guy did nothing until he had finished and was hostile. The "not overpower" didn't overly bug me. He wasn't exactly "Mr. Fitness" himself and was going against an opponent capable of "one-hit kills" due to the contagion aspect of zombie/hate plague bites.

My GOAT zombie movie is 28 days later.

Same. Not sure I’ve ever not stopped and watched when I see it channel surfing.

Little Women: 7/10 - Nice take on the typical story at the end. The time shifting was confusing as hell at times. I think there is way too much going on in that book for a movie. Too much happens and the scenes are too quick and direct. Not enough character development.

Ad Astra 4/10. Way too slow and took itself way too seriously. Looked cool, but tried to be like 2001, but more felt like a rip off of Interstellar, but with a weaker plot.
