I did, too bad you didn't like it. Broderick is top notch in that flick and so is Reese.
Yeah well, you're not alone in liking it, it gets a 92% rating over at Rotten tomatoes, which is fucking baffling to me. To me it's on the level of Friends or something, but to each his own, right..... :cheers:
Yup. Some movies I have watched because they have been praised by others, but I guess I've only liked the ones liked by people who have the same taste as me.
One I totally didn't get how someone could have liked was The Shining's sequel Dr. Sleep. I really thought the story was very stupid and the movie just exploited the original movie's iconic scenes. Then I read that the book is actually about that. But then I realize that I've read all the True Blood books and I know they are trash, but they are like junk to read, Summer reading by the pool. So I guess it's the same for Stephen King's fans :noclue:

It was pretty good. Seemed kinda long to me but overall held my interest... :noclue:

I know you were supposed to be rooting for the slum family to pull it out of the mess they were in that fancy house, I only sort of cared if they did or not.... :bored:

So I watched " The Art of Racing in the Rain" the other night.
As someone with a 13 year old dog and who has been on the shit end of a custody dispute, I will 100% never recommend that movie to anyone.

Saw Paulie open for Sam Kinison once and was shocked by how dirty his material was compared to his image and movies...he was funny though...oh course I was a lot of years younger then...doubt it would age well

the movies do not age well....... (or more likely I aged..... :hehe: )


Couldn't finish that crap.

I like some of his movies, but I think he's just fucking nuts.
No kidding, I would watch the sequel to Top Gun.

I haven't watched this one. It actually sounds good, he's great in action movies.

Watched this one recently, it was actually very fast paced and entertaining. Reminded me a bit of "The Vice" how it was filmed.

I watched Knives Out over the weekend. There are several big names in it, and they play off each other well (with the exception of Daniel Craig, didn't care much for his performance). Nevertheless, it's a light, fun movie.

I'm going the watch Uncut Gems this weekend.

This past weekend I watched The Last Black Man in San Francisco. It is beautifully shot. I can't believe there hasn't been more buzz about this film.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ ... re-1182136

. . . by far the best narrative film I saw and stands as a perfect blend of a very particular personal story and a larger expression about a city, social change and an individual's reckoning with family and where he grew up. Every scene is fresh and unpredictable, visual poetry and realism are exquisitely woven together and for quite a long time there's no way to know where it's going. Not so many films these days are so expressive of their specific settings. Here, the observations about the city and how it’s changed — from the team of director/co-writer Joe Talbot, co-writer Rob Richert and the "story by" team of Talbot and his lifelong best friend and the film's star Jimmie Fails (Talbot is white, Fails is black) — are very keenly expressed. It’s one of the most distinctive debuts I've seen in a long time.

I watched Unbroken a couple of nights ago. It was pretty good, worth a watch.

I'm a sucker for any films involving being helpless on a raft and sharks. It's my worst fear I think.
