I’ll pass on Monster Theron.

I misspelled almost in my initial post.

We know you would. Don’t even lie.

If you don't mind checking your need for logic and coherence at the door, you're in for quite the (psilocybin induced) trip, with some arresting visuals - in black and white.

Below some more great poster designs and a photo to give a taste of the madness in store:

Really not much to this.

A DC high school student is murdered while working at his job at a coffee spot. The 2 lead actors and fellow students, AE & CGM, embark on a quest to find out who the killer is. Well.....AE more than CGM.

It's a really simple plot/movie. Nothing groundbreaking or even the least bit exciting.

Really not much to say.

I have never seen CGM in anything prior to this. I will say that she is cute.

1.5/5!

The absolutely gorgeous Christina Milian plays an overworked/under appreciated SF home designer. When relationship and work stress gets to her, she enters an online contest to win an inn in New Zealand.

Guess what....when all else fails, she is the winner. She ditches SF for NZ and arrives to find a run down inn....but a welcoming little town.....for the most part.

She teams up with a local contractor to renovate the property and then is torn....stay or leave.

This is a Lifetime type of flick. I didn't hate it.

2.5/5.

Take academy award winner Denzel Washington, academy award winner Jodie Foster and academy award winner Spike Lee....throw in the brilliant Clive Owen, Willem Dafoe and some guy named Christopher Plummer...and what do you get? Inside Man.

Now, try to remix that flick! What do you get? Inside Man Most Wanted aka Inside Man JV.

Same basic premise.....band of robbers tries to knock off the Fed Reserve in NYC. The NYPD hostage contact teams up with the FBI to resolve the standoff. They ain't no Clive vs Denzel/Jodie.

Really...ABSOLUTELY no need to remix the original! Absolutely no need to try.

I mean, I did watch it until the end. But no need to revisit.

1.5/5.

She’s a really good actress.

I saw 500. That was years ago. She must have been really young back then. Don't even remember her.

Is Neighbors 2 any good? I remember the first one as being mildly amusing, partially because Seth Rogen wasn't too Seth Rogenish.

I had to google the exact duration of that "film":
1h 45min according to IMDb.

Which means, you lasted 1h 39min longer than I did. Impressive! How did you do that? What combo of tedium, drugs, and alcohol, exactly?

"Inside Man" is so excellent.

The copy-cat "spin-offs" "Inside Man: Most Wanted" and that stupid Spanish tv series "Casa de Papel" ("Money Heist") are both complete trash.

Yeah, I liked it. Not as iconic as 40 Year Old Virgin or anything, but the kind of comedy I’ve come to appreciate lately. One of those friends hanging out making movies things, a lot of ad libbing on set; keeping what works. Good for streaming, and preferable to the Netflix rom com, which is getting harder to appreciate....

Last Christmas- the Mother of Dragons is always cute. Story was a little blah and the big twist at the end didn't make much sense. I probably would've enjoyed the movie more if HBO played it during November/December instead of the middle of ******* July.

I think I watched just to see what type of twist they would put on it at the end.

Wanna hear something funny? I saw that on Fri or Sat night. I can't even remember how it ended!

No problemo, ter1413.
You saw it on Fri or Sat night in 2020, right?
It is now Monday afternoon, in 2413.
You can't be expected to have perfect recall all the time, man.
Don't be so hard on yourownself!

Ok....you slippin'!

I just watched this flick based on the recent film that I saw and the recs. It's based on a true story.

CGM plays a young NY Post writer who is living life, dealing with boyfriend issues and meeting deadlines. Her parents are divorced....but all is AOK as she looks to impress the Post's management and get her big break.

Then her world collapses! She starts to experience some crazy medical issues and then has 2-3 seizures. She is rushed to the hospital and when she is discharged, her life/body spins out of control!

Schizophrenia? Bi polar? Who knows! The doctors don't seem to know as all of her tests come back negative. Her parents panic as they are advised to place her in a mental hospital.

Luckily one doctor doesn't give up and reaches out to a past colleague for advice.

I must say....before this wknd, I had never seen/remembered anything that CGM was in. She CARRIED this flick....100%. Amazing performance!

It's moving! It's inspiring! It's a very good flick.

4/5!
