OT - Movies thread

Here is an excellent review of why Dune part 1 may seem so unsatisfying to those unfamiliar with the storyline: https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/ent...ce-is-also-its-smartest/ar-AAPW1Sh?li=BBnb7Kz

Just saw it and it just seemed to be a lengthened version of the first half of the original. If the second one ends up with
them in the caves with pools of water, Paul sister born, his mother dying and them riding worms to victory, then the second one will just be a stretched out version of the second half of the first one. But did think it was cinematically a better movie than the original.

heard it is an origin story for buzz, here is a brief glimpse at the opening scene

 

[TxFrog1999]

Just got back with the family after watching Ghostbusters Afterlife. Great movie, really great, and does the franchise justice. The girl who plays the lead is amazing. If you enjoyed the real Ghostbusters movies then you’ll want to see this one.

The King Richard movie about Venus and Serena was good as well.

Yeah, that all girl one was putrid.

Will Smith movie good? Since... Independence day, (maybe) I am Legend, Pursuit of Happiness?

I've been wanting to see this.

I'm starting this because I've kind of been wanting to start one for a while and also because I just watched one of the worst westerns I've seen in a long long time and am hopeful that this thread will stop others from wasting money on certain movies like The Last Jedi or wasting time on a western like In a Valley of Violence.

So feel free to suggest movies worth seeing and those worth avoiding, be they old or new and famous or not well known.

As to In a Valley of Violence....it's bad, just really bad. I was kind of taking it in a ho hum way grinding through it until one of the last scenes with John Travolta standing in between two gun fighters. AVOID THIS MOVIE unless you like long winded badly written badly acted laughable stupidity.

Try Last of the Dogmen
A modern western with Tom Berenger and Barbara Hershey and Zip The Australian cattle dog

For Jack Reacher fans. Someone finally got the message Tiny Tom wasn’t 6’6”…

 

[TxFrog1999]

New on Hulu…Only Murders in the Building.

Just started watching this with the Mrs.; great series so far (we’re on E5), and we’re happy to see it’s already green lighted for season 2. The only dim spot is Selena Gomez’s “acting.”

Gomez is terrible. She isn't that attractive to where her bad acting is overlooked due to her hotness.

Yeah, it’s amazing she’s not Gen X. And I think they’ve already green lit season 3 too.

Terrifying. Watched it here in Bangkok. English subtitles. Freaky.

Yes, very average.

Attention all. If you haven't seen 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible on Netflix, I highly recommend it.

Maybe addressed already. I just saw 12 Mighty Orphans. Decent movie. Predictable in many areas. I recognized some Fort Worth locations where the movie was shot. TCU referenced once. I wonder why it has not been propted up more? Like I said, not great but not bad for a sports movie. Maybe next season it will get more play before football season.
12 mighty Frogs? Na, never mind!
