July 20, 20214 yr 13 Assasins on Prime. 19th-century tale of samurai trying to stop a madman. I really enjoyed it. 4 stars. Takashi Miike’s most mainstream film. Check out Audition and Ichi the Killer.
July 21, 20214 yr Congo -- the follow-up to Jurassic Park in the 90's of another Michael Crichton novel. Seems like Ernie Hudson aka the black Ghostbuster is tasked with carrying this movie and it is just a really bad movie.

July 21, 20214 yr It was and is a turd. It got a lot of hype before it was released but man it was bad.

July 21, 20214 yr I guess I was feeling very early 90's because I also watch T2: Judgment Day. I remember seeing this movie first as a pre-teen (my first Rated-R movie, I think) and maybe a couple of times sense, but the story made a whole lot more sense as a whole as an adult. Very good movie still that held up well, I think.
July 21, 20214 yr How can the cgi in a 30 year old movie be better than some of the stuff you see today?
July 21, 20214 yr Guarding Tess (1994) Shirley MacLaine is adorable as a cantankerous former First Lady that makes Special Secret Agent in Charge Nicolas Cage's life a living hell. Enjoyable 95 minutes written and directed by Hugh Wilson.

I didn't say it was better than the stuff I see today, but I will say...watched ID4 with Will Smith around the 4th and the CGI/green screen stuff was horrible. Just very bad and aged like stinky cheese and that was around the same era and timeframe as T2.
July 22, 20214 yr The Voices - Ryan Reynolds dark comedy from 2016. wow, this movie was way more dark than I thought it was going to be. My wife said it was too realistic. She said it reminded her a former client that chopped up his mother.
July 22, 20214 yr Stray on hulu. It follows a pack of stray dogs in Istanbul featuring one female Cur mix. No narrator, just the people who the dogs cross paths with. Pretty cool and very well done.
July 24, 20214 yr Nobody- really enjoyed the first third, but the second and third were a little lacking in various ways for me. Overall a strong action move though, and worth a watch. 7/10

Speaking of Will Smith and horrible CGI and set design... watch After Earth sometime and get back to me. Or not. I'd actually recommend not watching it. But it's in that camp of being so bad it's kind of entertaining.

July 25, 20214 yr The Booksellers on Amazon. It's a doc about independent booksellers in the age of Amazon. It's interesting, boring, pretentious and charming. It was fine but one thing it did make me realize is that I miss reading an actual book opposed to only on my phone. Off to Half Price tomorrow.

Several of Crichton’s really good books made for bad movies because his detail is so thorough that it cannot be picked up in a movie due to time constraints. Think about how much worse the Dan Brown movies are than his books… same goes for Crichton, and the same reasons.

I absolutely refuse to read e-books on my phone or iPad. I seem to retain about 1/4 of what I’m reading as opposed to reading an actual book.

July 25, 20214 yr I read a book for the first time on an eReader last month; not as bad as I expected once I got used to it.I read on kindle so I can make the font bigger.All of you who are mocking fuck off this will be an issue for you too.
July 26, 20214 yr Just watched Nobody. I thought it was awesome. If you are comparing it to John Wick, then yea, it's gonna be disappointing, but if you view it as it's own thing it's great.
July 26, 20214 yr Outlaw Josey Wales. Whenever I'm in a shitty mood, I like watching Josey murder some assholes.. John Vernon is fantastic in this movie, but I can't look at him without hearing "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son".
July 26, 20214 yr Manchurian Candidate (Denzel)- Pretty meh, with a serious case of deafening background audio and mumbling dialogue. Looking at you Liev.

July 27, 20214 yr Irresistible - Steve Carrell and Chris Cooper lead this story of a DC political campaign manager and a small town Wisconsin mayoral candidate. Entertaining and enlightening.

July 27, 20214 yr Hell or High Water. Saw it when it first came out, then again last night. Great movie. But sure makes small town Texas look like a shitty place to live. No offense. Edited July 27, 20214 yr by Sbbruin

If you were ever in a garage band, hauled your own equipment to and from gigs and appreciate soul music, this the best. Yeah, I'm an ancient "Old" but I know what I like. Plus, Colm Meaney nails the Old Fart Elvis fan, nails it!
August 1, 20214 yr Jungle Cruise - Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt. Disney flick that they Disney'd tf out of. Cartoonish script, CGI overload. Glad I didn't pay to watch it.

I wanted to like this because I like the Rock, Blunt and the actual ride. It was mildly entertaining but very long and hard for our kids to follow but found myself bored and tuning out toward the end.
August 2, 20214 yr Finally watched the second movie in the Fear Street trilogy. I’m really enjoying these quite a bit. Netflix does such a shit job marketing their movies.
August 2, 20214 yr Rain Man- Dustin Hoffman makes Tom Cruise look tall. 8/10 A Quiet Place II- this reminded me of Jurassic Park, without the soundtrack, and without Spielberg. 7/10
