Movies! The movie thread

The last couple I've watched...

The Mrs and I enjoyed this Romantic Comedy.

Watched this last night. I like Shyamalan movies on general. This was decent. I always expect a twist, which for me there was none. Dave Bautista continues to be the greatest Wrestler turn Actor, ever. Dude has said that he takes acting seriously Ave wants to be known as a good actor. I believe he is.

Knock at the Cabin was good...I guess? I don't know. Was there an overlying point of the movie or something?

The long awaited new Bourne movie has a mountain to climb bettering this one, even some late 007 films, Transporter and arguably too far fetched Mission Impossible ones pale into insignificance with me.

Watching Stand by Me, based on a story by Stephen King and very enjoyable.

I re-watched it about a year ago.
Great coming of age story, and a top 80s film for sure.

"Boy, you don't know nothing! Mighty Mouse is a cartoon. Superman's a real guy. There's no way a cartoon could beat up a real guy."

Film should have been nominated for an Oscar.

Been planning to watch that one with my 11 year old. It's a great film.

I'm still confused by the movie.

I may watch it again later in the week. I'm just wondering if there was an ultimate point to the movie like a religious theme?

Hmm, for sure, but it seems like a no-brainer in terms of their 'dilemma'.

So they were a cult and there was no real threat of the world ending?

Hmmm, well, I'd rather not spoil anything, if you wanna open a new thread, we can chat there.

Enjoyed Knock At The Cabin more than I thought I would. First M. Night movie in a long time that was pretty good.

OkieSnuffBox · 03-03-2023, 09:45 AM

Watched "We Have a Ghost" last night.

It's not high brow cinema or anything, but definitely a fun watch with a few heartfelt moments.

This is what I always felt about The Walking Dead. That Rick was some allegory for "leading his people to the promised land." Because how else does someone in a coma "rise from the dead" after days/weeks with no food, water, or medical attention.

But I stopped watching at the beginning of Season 7, I think? When the bashed people's brains in the with barbed wire covered bat. Not that I have a problem with gratuitous violence in movies or TV shows, but the show had already become pretty repetitive and it was obvious that was done just for the shock factor.

Michael Caine is excellent in this fact based film.

The original from 1984 was very creepy. Who here remembers?
We'll see how this one stacks up...

I liked the first one. Thought the sequels sucked.
