What movies have you seen recently?

The Family Man. Really a good Christmas movie without a true Christmas theme. Say what you want about Cage, but this is one of his best performances, right up there with Raising Arizona and The Rock.

I’ve watched a ton of movies over this Xmas break. Lol

Uncut Gems. 5/10
Just didn’t like it. I would compare it to a hyper kid that needs to take his Ritalin. It’s just too much. Everything that could go wrong does and it’s a bit much.

Hacksaw Ridge 9/10.
Loved it. Every American should be required to watch it. The story is amazing!

Gemini Man. 6/10
It was actually better then I thought it would be.

The Irishman. 6/10
What a drag and drag and drag. Cool story although must of it isn’t true. Should have been 2 hours not 3-1/2.

Jojo Rabbit. 8/10
I’m going to be honest and didn’t even know about this movie until I stubbled acrossed it. Loved it. It’s about a family that hides a Jewish girl during WWII.

Doctor Sleep. 10/10
Great movie that kept me on the edge of my seat.

Baby Driver. 6/10
Action movie that my daughter made me watch. Very entertaining not much of a story.

Finally not a movie but I watched it all in 1 day.
The Mandalorian. 8/10
I’m not a Star Wars guy at all but since everyone was talking about it I tried it out and loved it.

Ad Astra

--I like Pitt a lot, and while this movie was gorgeous to look at (and nearly worth it just for that) there was too much going on wrong in the film to keep me fully invested. Glad I rented and saw it, also glad I didn't buy it. 6/10

Joker

--Wow. What a performance by Phoenix...LOVED this film and pretty much everything about it. Phoenix should be in serious running for Best Actor Oscar. 9/10.

I forgot one.

The Hateful 8. 7/10
I really liked it but there were some slow parts to it.

That seems to be a common theme with a lot of recent movies. Why is the trend to make so many movies so long now. Seriously between this Uncut Gems and The Irishman. All of them should have been much shorter.

Completely agree. Too incredulous of a crescendo as well. I don't think Pitt was really the guy for this movie. Interesting concept, but that's about it.

The Force Awakens
I think this was my third time watching the movie. It still has some of that "magic" that surrounded the movie when it was first released, but it started sputtering through it roughly halfway through this time. Lots of "legacy" Star Wars head scratches throughout (ie: basically the Return of the Jedi introduction in long-form) but still somewhat fun throughout.

Personally this is behind the original trilogy (maybe with Return of the Jedi depending on the mood) and most likely tied with Revenge of the Sith.

Uncut Gems was ****ing awesome. Very much enjoyed that one. Sandler was great. The last 30 minutes or so had me sweating. It was wild.

6 Underground on a recommendation from a co-worker. Wish I had not taken his recommendation.
