It was so good I thought our theatre had smell-o-vision when DeNiro was doing that jail workout scene, was thinking where the heck was that stench coming from??

Ya, you guys mentioned some great remakes.

Was looking online at the Cape Fear remake and it not only had Robert Mitchum from the original, but it had Gregory Peck and Martin Balsam from the original as well.

Was old home week.

I may watch that tonight.

Been a while since I've seen it. I forgot all the good actors in it.

So few remakes of note.
The Thing is probably the absolute standout.

I thought War of the Worlds with TC was a decent remake.

Interesting, I wasn't thinking about that, just the 2 trailers I put up.

One of my all-time favorites.

I was shocked by it. I love a bug movie but expected 70's dross and got a really, really, really good movie with a proper story and character development and even ok effects.

Ya, that was a shocking when news broke out about that. So strange as obviously she can afford most things, but I guess it's psychological.

Still, Depp screwed up big time (did he ever remove that tat?). Winona is (still) a classic beauty.

Yeah, years ago I went with a friend of mine after she suggested it.

They were doing a horror weekend at the local independent cinema up in Tulsa. Was really cool to get to see it on the big screen, well not like IMAX, but still many times larger than at home.

The theater had to be a great way to see that. I can't remember if I first saw that in the theater or not. I looked it up and it was released the year my daughter was born.

I definitely didn't since it was released the year I was born.

Good way to feel.

And yeah, pets, dogs in your case, can definitely be your babies.

Watched Last Night in Soho as it’s now on HBO Max. Great movie! Acting was superb! Storyline and cinematography were fantastic too.

Loved it. Diana Rigg was impressive (her last role before she died) as Miss Collins.

Oh wait DUNE.
Part 1 equal to the original.

If you still wake up with morning wood, exercise the inner 22-year old in you.

Agree the wife and I really enjoyed it, plus the three female leads were all excellent, we love Anya Taylor-Joy and Diana Rigg.
