Same with me

I'm having my arm twisted to see this one when it plays on the big screen

As Ridley Scott is the Producer then I'll chance it..

Add A Few Good Men.

Saw Fly Me to The Moon a couple of days ago. I wasn't too interested, but my wife wanted to see it for a date-night, so I was compelled. I usually go in for boy-meets-girl-boy-gets-girl and kills a bunch of bad guys and blows things up type of movies, but like On Golden Pond, I was surprised how much I liked this movie.

Lowlifes wasn't bad for a thriller.

Daddio for dialogue-filled drama.

They copied the original too much and relied on the FX, which were decent, but didn't live up to the hype, IMHO.

Just watched Twister (the original), pretty good stuff. Better than I remembered

Watched Deadpool & Wolverine. Unlike some out there, both characters are just OK for this huge Marvel fan. The movie was entertaining and had quite a few intriguing surprises! 3.5/5

I'm not a huge Deadpool fan, but love what Ryan Reynolds is doing with the character. I saw it with the fam on Tuesday... we all loved it! The staged fight scenes went too long for my taste, and some characters and story arcs were not really fleshed out. Plenty of plot holes, forced scenes, hand waving, but wow... I can't believe how absolutely happy it made me! Produced with a lot love by a bunch of people that were having a great time. The visual and verbal pop cultural references were absolutely non-stop, and can be appreciated by people not deeply versed in MCU and Marvel culture. But it sure helps!

moooza · 08-02-2024, 07:14 AM

Just watched Axel F, the new beverly hills cops movie. Pretty boring and derivative.

Halfway through the new Bad Boys movie Ride or Die. It is idiotic. I have to finish it, but I'd rather go for a drive, or die

Sounds fun. Will watch it when it comes to me.

OK. So it could and should have been much better IMO.
I give it a 2.5 / 5. The first 2 were much better. They're was not enough origins back story as vs it was too slow.
At least I have the Season Finale of HOTD to look forward to tonight!

Sounds like a bit of a let down. Too bad. Will still watch it anyway when it comes to me so I at least can finish the story.

Twisters was worth the price of a senior admission. Nothing unexpected, girl meets boy.

Do people really die by being sucked up into the vortex, or just crushed by their failing houses?

People do die in real life from being sucked up. Just watched a little documentary about a horrible tornado that happened in northern Ohio in the early 1900s. People literally were sucked up from a beach because they had no where to escape.
