I like Woody Harrelson. I don't like Kevin Hart. I'm torn.

Also, the preview looked ok, a few people gave it positive reviews, but then I see it's Rotten Tomato rating is 24 per cent. Yikes.

its what you'd expect a kevin hart movie to be like

An automatic pass for me then. Just not a fan of Kevin's work.

Fair call - I will put it on my covid list when I have no taste.

I do like Woody though.

Has anyone else noticed that it has become rare that movies today have big scores and opening credits that really engage you into a movie. Think Superman, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Top Gun, The terminator etc. They are engaging from the moment the very first credits roll on screen. All the latest movies, just dont seem to be interested in grabbing the viewer like the old days. Almost as if they are intent on saving a buck here because people will see the movie anyway. But from artistic standpoint it is kind of disappointing. I think this is one of the reasons people are raving about Top Gun Maverick, old school style opening, engaging from the first seconds. I cant remember a single opening from any Marvel or DC movie. The Original Batman was awesome, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Lion King. So many iconic movies in such a short space of time really went out of their way for the viewer. But you know, CGI and rehashing the same script appears to be hollywoods moto these days.

Great call mate

Michael Clayton (2007) - Decent legal thriller with George Clooney struggling with his morality. This is well acted and put together but doesn't have that spark that elevates it to be memorable. End has one of my least favourite movie cliches

Spoiler

The gotcha moment of taping the bad guy secretly to confirm culpability.

6.5/10.

2007 Best picture nomination rankings -
No Country For Old Men - 10/10
Juno - 7.5/10
There Will Be Blood - 7.5/10
Atonement - 7/10
Michael Clayton

edit - forgot how to include spoiler.

The Man From Toronto is fine. I've seen many a worse movie.

The Man From Toronto - Netflix

Having read some of the reviews on here I didn't high expectations

And they were met.

Has some reasonable moments
Has some terrible ones
Had some good ones

It relies on you accepting Kevin Hart as funny and Woody Harrelson as the straight man.

I watched the first 10 minutes. Netflix movies used to be touted as up there with oscar material. Now its phone in rubbish where most actors just go through the motions for a pay check. Thats what this was.

The Last Seduction 1994 - I hadn't watched this for about 20 years, how the * Linda Fiorentino didn't win every award available for this is beyond me.

As Molly says, if you haven't already, do yourself a favour.

Linda Fiorentino was widely lauded by critics for her performance in this movie but was denied an Academy Award nomination because it came out on TV before a theatrical release.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Ghostbusters Afterlife

Was hesitant to watch this, majority remakes or hashing old ideas normally flop.

Really enjoyed it, a solid 8/10 and a nice touching tribute to wrap up the original cast.

Linda Fiorentino has only made 1 movie since 2001 which came out in 2009. Was thought to be difficult and may have also been "metooed" out of movies. She was great in everything i saw her in. Bridget Fonda who could also open movies hasn't made a film since 2002 . A lot of great female actresses have way too short careers compared to men

What an brilliant log line for a movie. I'm in!

A devious sexpot steals her husband's drug money and hides out in a small town where she meets the perfect dupe for her next scheme.​

Steven Segal is… Above the Law (1988)

Segal and Pam Grier are tough Chicago cops who bust a drug kingpin and are forced to let him go, because… reasons. I forget exactly, but it’s orchestrated by Segal’s nemesis from his time in the CIA so it’s time to take him down. But first we get a random baptism and Sharon Stone, so that’s nice.

Fun movie, joins Hard to Kill and Under Siege as the three Segal films I will sit through

Dunkirk. 2nd time in a few years. It's a great film and Nolan is one of my favorites. I might follow up with 1917 after the wife and baby go to bed.

Brilliant film. Nolan is very hit or miss for me, but he knocked Dunkirk out of the park. I haven't seen 1917 yet, any good?

Correct weight.

I thought 1917 was absolutely brilliant. Better than Dunkirk IMO.

Executive Decision was on telly the other night.

Another great Segal flick.

Yeah 1917 is great as well.

Copland (1997):
Always avoided it because it just looked like Stallone playing a bloated dullard.
Turns out Stallone does play a bloated dullard but the overall movie is excellent.
9/10

Watched Hustle with the parentals last night, a family winner that was enjoyed by all.

It's not his most challenging role yet, but with the way Adam Sandler just effortlessly cruises through this performance, I think I'm finally ready to accept him as a legitimate dramatic acting talent.

 

[Financialpanther]

Is it a hot take to consider Sandler is an ok and serviceable dramatic acting talent - I feel there is an over exaggeration of his talent because of the roles he has done in the past?

Nah i dont think thats too hot. I dont entirely agree with it personally but I'd say its fair.

 

[Cruyff14]

Sandler has definitely proved a lot of people wrong, he is a solid actor.

I agree he is solid but people calling for him to be nominated for Uncut Gems was a bridge too far.
