Re: What movies have you seen recently?

T2 is one of my favorite movies of all-time, at least up until Sarah tries to kill the director of Skynet, then it sort of loses me there, but anyways, as much as I enjoy most of Judgement Day, it is responsible for so much crap to follow, they should have called it a day after T2. though there were parts of Rise of Machines I liked.

What I liked most about T3 was the final act. Seeing how Skynet set off Judgement Day was quite dark and pretty wild.

...Ok, you know where I stand .... I'll shut up about the whole thing now.

not me, I won't rest till Thelma and Louise gets a sequel, remade as a couple guys replacing T&L. also, another Geena Davis movie in need of a redoing, A League Of Their Own, with a young Tom Berenger look-alike as Davis. potential title could be A Major League Of Their Own.

also also, I really rather enjoyed the Wiig-McCarthy Ghostbusters from 4 or 5 years ago, but I saw it in 3D on the big screen with my nephew and niece so that probably had a lot to do with my enjoyment. dunno if I really want to see it again on tv, in 2D. but if for some reason the replayed it at the theater in 3D, I'd definitely go again

You may laugh, but for the past week I can't get away from watching the Magnificent Century.

I watched Downfall again.

Simply put. The best movie ever made about Hitler and his final days.

Run

This is a new film on Hulu by Aneesh Chaganty (and co-written by Sev Ohanian), following up their cinematic debut Searching (2018) with a thriller involving a mother and her 17-year-old daughter born with several complications (arrhythmia, hemochromatosis, asthma, diabetes, and most impactfully paralysis).

I will say that it's possible this movie is better than I liked it, but if so it would be for its directing and acting, and less so about the writing. I felt like there were holes everywhere, and perhaps too much is thrown at us too soon for us to properly care for the characters and their situation. This kind of movie has been done before, without much new added to the table minus the wheelchair aspect. There were a lot of elements set up for what could have provided a stronger ending delivery and punch, but most of those beats were one-note and used up earlier in the film rather than connecting a strong inner-weaving as Searching was able to do.

I went in blind, and it's likely better that I did given that the trailer is somewhat revealing. I don't think it had a high enough ceiling in the first place to eclipse any wild lack of expectations I already had. My only expectation was in the hands of the creators, and the most redeeming quality this movie will likely have on audiences is I hope they become aware of Searching and see it at some point... which is what I hope most of you all can take away from this. That was my favorite film of 2018, and Run will fall to the wayside as somewhat compelling yet completely forgettable. The story and pre-built relationship just did not have enough juice once the credits rolled.

"Never Surrender" again. Really great retrospective/doc about Galaxy Quest. Any fan of the movie should see this.

Happiest Season (Hulu)

Pretty much like a Hallmark Christmas movie, but with a lesbian angle. I wouldn't mind seeing some more of the recent Kristen Stewart movies that have come out, though.

Fan of Noir, never heard of "The Man Who Wasn't There". Will check it, looks interesting.

Re: What movies have you seen recently?

Definitely worth a look.

Re: What movies have you seen recently?

You have "The Devil" and "Mr. Holland" switched ratings wise .... at least.
