KrankinSox Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Watched "The Black Phone". Pretty good, not great. Worth seeing if you like Stephen King type stories. It's based off of a story written by his son. Anyone seen "Nope" yet? Heard mixed things but mostly positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I set my expectations too high because I love GET OUT. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrankinSox Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Watched three movies this week. Two of them older ones but I had never seen them before. "All The President's Men" Solid movie. Good watch, especially for someone like me who wasn't alive for Watergate. Was interesting to see how it all played out. "Snatch" Loved this movie. Clever, funny, and well-written. "What is a Woman?" Great doc. Really eye-opening. Highly Recommend. Edited August 4, 2022 by KrankinSox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t much care for it, wouldn’t watch it again. Didn’t really like Us either, Get Out was top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) The Gray Man could very easily have been a Michael Bay movie. Big over the top action, budget, will eventually bankrupt Netflix at this rate. (Only their Kdramas (Netflix Asia) are successful from a P-L standpoint. So many get pirated and are viewed in China with no profits coming back.) But enjoyed Gosling, Thornton, Evans and de Armas..definitely no relation to de Aza in any way, lol.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I like adding digital movies . Recently got Bad Mom's Christmas for free. Was actually funny. Everything Everywhere All at Once I liked. Morbius eh, Doctor Strange MOM liked it but I think watching WandaVision on Disney+ helped. Spiderman No Way Home loved it. I'm a sucker for bringing back all the old Villians and old Spidermans in the same way I was thrilled with Ghostbusters Afterlife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me. Prey was entertaining, about what I thought it would be. Definitely better than the last one but I guess I was expecting more? But I don’t even know what I want.

The concept and budget were fine for what it was…definitely felt more big screen than something on The CW, but it was essentially a female empowerment story mixed with colonialists are the bad guys. Nothing exactly original or unique. The Native American actress was excellent, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Vengeance was really good. Thought I’d like it but not this much. Strong by BJ Novak. Bullet Train was just ok. Some bad CGI but mindless fun mostly. Couple of good cameos. Hope caufield agrees with me. Edited August 7, 2022 by Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One name. Brian. Fellow SoxTalk member. Am I allowed to write a poster’s name or is that some type of sacrosanct violation. Also, please provide supporting evidence or examples of cursing at other posters. Thanks, I’ll hang up and listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not read The Catcher in the Rye during high school lit class…? Oh, our fallen youth. “Bullet Train is infuriatingly pleased with itself. And ground zero for this implosion of self-satisfaction is Pitt.“ It’s not as clever as it believes itself to be, but the action alone was almost worth it. Too many characters/cameos, too many doubles crosses. Probably about 15-20 minutes too long. Too much Thomas, not enough Japan.
