What Movies Have You Seen III

[PJ]

The Edge of tomorrow on Netflix Tom Cruise he knows how to make a good sci fi film, Oblivion is also a great film..

Both very good and should have had a bigger audience

 

[PJ]

Warfare 8. Pretty good but felt like a poor man's Black Hawk Down

 

[mongoose]

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning: Ridiculous and over the top, even for an MI movie but good nonetheless.

Sinners - Don't get the hype, most of its pretty boring. Woke audiences loving it because of all the deep south African American references, but there's no plot. Just a mess of unrelated scenes and themes.

Both are brilliant. Edge of Tomorrow is fun awesome.

 

[Generalzod]

The Rock and Con Air both on Disney plus…great action movies.

28 Years Later 5.5, and sorry to give it so low, but may be generous. Had the bones of a good movie but too many arty inserts that served no purpose and not that much of a story.

Apparently first part of a planned trilogy but could have been condensed to 20-30 mins and split between the other 2.

Ralph Fienes covered in Iodine still less orange than trump.

Spoiler: Spoilers

so at the end of 28 months later the virus is on the continent but now they some how controlled it, which imo is just bS. But lets say they had a way, why the hell wouldnt you impenent it across England?

and the baby storyline can go get f#%ked

It's amazing how many negative "reviews" of this movie resort to this tired line.

Grow a pair, people can like stuff you don't like and it has nothing to do with your culture warring.

"Get Out" copped reviews like that as well. I thought "Get Out" was absolutely superb. I can't comment on Sinners yet but what I have read has been quite positive.

I'm off to see F1 on Friday afternoon, so I'll let people know whether its worth watching or not.

I liked it, but it's a mix of films and I would have preferred it being one of the mix rather than all the mixes. I can't really say more as I'll spoil it.

1990 Total Recall what a movie one of Arnies best. On Netflix…

haha thats fine, as long as people are allowed to dislike it and not be labelled "racist"

Goes both ways though, of course you get the incel losers who hate anything who has a chick/gay lead, in turn you get people who say they love a movie/show purely cause of the DEI hires. I have a joke with the Mrs when watching any Netflix series/movie about when the first gay character appears. It doesnt effect my enjoyment of the show, just have a laugh at how manufactured it is.

So I went and saw F1: The Movie this afternoon. I'd give it a solid 7-7.5/10. Whilst some parts of it were a tad predictable, there was enough going on that the movie flew by and there were an occasion of two where you thought the "expected ending" might not happen.

Its a long movie though. It runs for 2 1/2 hours (give or take a minute, I left whilst the credits were running). It was entertaining.

Yes, Brad Pitt is the "grizzled veteran" who's character started in F1 back when people likle Mansell, Prost and Senna were still racing but leftr it due to an ontrack incident (which I won't go on about here and spoil it). He eventually becomes a wanderiung driver going from race to race, trying to recapture how he felt when he was in F1. Money is not his motivation. He only comes back to F1 when his former team mate in F1, played by JKavier Bardem, who is running an F1 team approaches him asd he needs a second driver as one of his drivers singed mid-year with another team. His team APC Racing (pronouced "Apex") is one of the back runners. Thing is if they don't improve by the end of the year, Bardem will be forced out and the team will be sold. There are 9 races left when Pitt's charcter is approached.

Pitt's character, Sonny Hayes, is a professional on the track. He wants to win, but is not reckless. We see thgat at the start of the movie when he, as the "hired gun" helps his team win the Daytona 24 Hour Race.

It shows what goes on both on the track, on the designing boards, and even the board room in F1.

All up, its worth a watch. I found it entertaining that the time just flew by.

The racing scenes aren't bad, they're decent, but its no Rush on that score.

I watched Jackie Brown again recently. Its free on youtube. It is not amongst Tarantino's best.

 

[Generalzod]

Just watched the Crow on Netflix, This is truly a work of art from Australian director Alex Proyas, I actuall like it better than the Dark Knight.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

It truly captured the essence of the original comic series and fully showed what a great actor Brandon Lee was.

It was ok, so much over dramatized hollywood tropes in it though...

That's a real shame, I was looking forward to seeing this as I really like the first two. Not surprised though with all the crap they're making these days.

A slow weekend so decided to get into some 80's goodness. My wife had never seen Predator 2 (Released 1990 but an 80's film at heart - found it at my local library) so we did a double bill with The Thing 1982.
Both great films, Predator 2 is much underrated but it's a great watch, chock full of 80's "lesser light" actors like Bill Paxton, Gary Busey, Adam Baldwin, Maria Conchita Alonso (you'll know her when you see her) etc and of course the star, Mel Gibson's long suffering partner in the Lethal Weapon series, Danny Glover as the hero cop. I love the ending, so good.
The Thing 9/10
Predator 2 7/10
