What Movies Are You Watching Lately

[Joffrey]

I watched a bit of Training Day last night. That movie is such a mindf*ck for a good while. It's unfortunate that it turns a bit Disney in the end. I still love it though.

Yeah, the first half is phenomenal, but then it collapses into mediocrity.

Well you knew he was fucked when the top LAPD brass told him he was a dead man for being a degenerate in the beginning. Thought Denzel, and Ethan had great chemistry. The movie also has a very accurate description of LA culture. Even now that it's on gentrification overdrive.

I thought you were talking about "Ronin," a really solid action/thriller up until the third act and the skating rink...

great flick :

'so what color is the boathouse at herefordshire?'
'how the **** should I know?'

No, not that one. The good looking one who doesn't talk much, but has a tragic backstory.


And I know we sh!t on Snyder for using slo mo every five minutes, completely undeveloped characters, laughably bad dialog, and oversaturated color, but we haven't spent nearly enough time on how he always has a guy running and leaping off a tall object to land on a flying object (in slo mo, obvi). He did it not once, but f*cking twice in this sh!tfest.

I hope the new Netflix management quietly gives him a severance check and sends him on his way. By most accounts, he's a likeable guy and I felt bad for him after his daughter died, but he should never be allowed behind a camera ever again.

Dude watched Rebel Moon to count up the slow motion and a whopping 21 minutes of the movie was slow motion. That's only the parts he counted since he fell asleep during parts of the movie.

The Bedford Incident (1965) ⭐ 7.3 | Drama, Thriller

1h 42m | Approved

Never heard of this until it popped up as a recommendation on YouTube, but wow.

Richard Widmark as an Ahab sort of figure in command of a sub hunting ship at the height of the Cold War, just a couple of years post Bay of Pigs. Martin Balsam and Sidney Poitier round out the main players, with a young Donald Sutherland and the guy who played "Dano" on Hawaii Five Oh.

It doesn't quite have the intensity of Fail Safe or Run Silent, Run Deep, but I found it pretty gripping. Amazing cast, Widmark in particular absolutely owns the film.

Saw Fall Guy last night, it was a lot of fun! Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling have great chemistry. A dog was involved but don't worry it doesn't get hurt.

This looks fun.

This was fun (I think Dieworkwear would appreciate the style & dress)

While the aesthetics were somewhat different over there (compared to yours and mine side of the pond) that still looks fairly recognisable

Exactly. And what about this one.

Rewatched this in theater last week. I only saw it on vid before. Wow.
