“I like his delivery but the material sucks.”

Hunted is another Shudder original win. Kind of like Braveheart meets I Spit On Your Grave. It has this underlying comedic vibe that had me horrified one minute and legit laughing out loud the next. Definitely not a comedy though.

Its not really new, but I'm halfway through No Escape with Owen Wilson and just had to brag on it, this flic didn't get NEARLY enough acclaim... this thing is a nonstop pulsepounder

If you have On Demand, you can check it out right now on the USA channel... when critics say "edge of your seat" this is what they mean

Yeah...uh...so..umm...yeah, The Little Things is shite. Not sure how you squander this cast but they managed heartily. And when did Denzel become Forest Whitaker?

Damn. Was gonna watch this tonight. Well, thanks for taking one for the team.

Give it a go YMMV

Went with the 2018 version of Robin Hood instead. Little Things probably an Oscar winner compared to that. But Bono's daughter is a looker, at least.

I watched The Dig on Netflix. Knew nothing going in, but damn it was good.

It's about the beginnings of the excavation of Sutton Hoo site in the UK. This is about an understated of execution as it can be. But it really fits the time (1939 going into WWII) in the UK. And in the world of ADD media consumption, it restores a modicum of faith back into humanity.

The acting in this was a tall order, they asked the actors to convey a hell of a lot with virtually nothing for dialogue. And they knocked it out of the park. Ralph Fiennes is brilliant as always. But the rest of the crew did really well also, pretty much top to bottom. Top it off with writing that really made me buy into most of the characters by the end. Not really a nit to pick in the crew. The score was excellent as well. A ton of places to stub their toe and they really knocked it out of the park.

It is also worth noting that they broached a lot of pretty heavy subjects with grace and without beating you over the head with any of it. Death, leaving responsibilities, graverobbing in the name of history, legacies, humanity, war, fleetingness of life. Some really good stuff here. I mean really good. This one is going to hang with me for awhile.

Ton of respect for the filmmakers here.

I'd really recommend it, but don't go in expecting expecting mindless entertainment.

EDIT: Trailer

EDIT: Spoilered. They put a TON in there. I wouldn't watch the Trailer if you intend to watch the show. Better to not know.

The one with Taryn Edgerton and Jamie Foxx?

Man that one was shit.

Caught Assassins' Creed the other night. Total bullcrap.

Yeah, not good.

You got me! I have to see. Thanks! :thumb:

Can't wait . . . the longing is terrible . . .

Finally got around to watching Gretel and Hansel (the latest Hollywood iteration).

It ****ing sucked. Had so much potential too.

Whoa

So, mushrooms right before watching this, or nah?

Oh **** yeah. We taking a trip.

I’m embarrassed to say that I tried to watch this a few weeks ago on a Friday night— and fell asleep. Hell, I picked it out and was looking forward to it but 30 minutes in...I just...zonked. No I don’t watch any of the MCU/DC crap with people emoting in front of a green screen, or 99% of the other pablum cranked out the past several years. I just found it achingly slow.

I’ll try again at some point.

Incredible! Watched it tonight with the wife and we both enjoyed! Thank you! :thumb:

Glad you liked it bud, yeah its super underrated... once the action gets started the pace just never relents

fun fact about "War of the Roses":

I'm just waiting for Top Gun 2 to come out.

Holy balls.

I have a 7 year old girl and a 3 year old boy and I love my wife as much as either one of them. I assure you we aren't good for that.

I couldn't watch it all at once. I needed a break.

Leprechaun Returns was a huge piece of shit.. and that's coming from a big fan of those shitty old Leprechaun flicks.

Right? the pacing is absolutely relentless, its a genuine hidden gem

Can confirm

Nice rec. Quality entertainment on a Saturday afternoon

Lake Bell is a total butterface but is STACKED

Watched a couple new ones on Shudder the last couple days.

Koko-di, Koko-da

Artsy Swedish fantasy/horror film about a couple who lose a child then relive the horror over and over again. There's some really horrific moments like a pit bull being released inside a camping tent then zipping it back up while the couple sleeps but overall its a little too dramatic violin playing artsy for my taste. I'm sure there's some underlying messages here that I didn't care to pick up on that some may appreciate.

Slaxx

Complete over-the-top ridiculousness about a pair of jeans that goes around killing people in a high end clothing store. Kind of reminded me of a much dumber Little Shop of Horrors. More groans than haha moments.

Honestly can't recommend either one of these but YMMV

SAS: Red Notice

Excellent movie! Must watch.

What did you watch it on?

https://afdah.info/

So I watched "Chef" on Netflix.

I hadn't heard of it before, but saw something about it on YouTube and I like Favreau, so WTF, let's go.

So it's pretty deep in the culinary jargon, but it doesn't make it the movie. I knew what most of it was, so it wasn't an impediment to me, but it could be for others. Nonetheless, it's a pretty good watch. It's, IMO a really inspired performance by Favreau. ScarJo is also really good in it. John Leguizamo, after he leaves the restaurant is killer. I was really surprised where they went there. The thing that made the boat float is his relationship with his son (Emjay Anthony). Maybe it's because I have young kids, but it would have been a pretty meh movie without that relationship.

The journey part of the film is worth the squeeze. Looking on IMDB, it looks like it was written and directed by Favreau, so I'm guessing it could have been tightened up some with some additional editing or something. Whatever, it's good. Some of the characters are ridiculous (ex-wife, ninja RDJ cameo LOL, etc) but it doesn't really drag away from what works about the movie.

I'd really recommend it. The parts of the movie that work, really work - and stuck with me for awhile. Good flick that I'd never heard of.

"Bad Trip" was hilarious! ROFL
On Netflix now

I watched this last night and was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed it particularly because it's a movie not based on a comic book.

Nobody (2021) - Currently has an IMDB rating of 7.7.

Me - Currently at Wal Mart picking up some groceries after walking out of this reeruned piece of shit after the first 30 minutes.


I'm still going to check out the new Kong flick this evening.

Jui Jitsu - Netflix

Proof we've reached the oversaturation point with whatever this Nick Cage revival things that's been happening. Its intentionally terrible in kind of a good way, with a few haha moments, but still terrible overall.

Even high af I got bored with it fairly quickly.

Thunder Force - Netflix

Just watch the trailer to see the funning parts. What a waist of time.

Never been a fan of Paul Rudd for no real reason but his part in Forgetting Sarah Marshall is totally awesome.

I enjoy Paul Rudd. In point of fact Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one of his worst roles.

The you know how I know you’re gay sequence in 40 year old virgin is some of the funniest shit ever.

Venti is twenty!!

FYP

Currently watching Willy's Wonderland.

Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar is Little Nicky, Love Guru, Master of Disguise, female Ghosbuster level bad. Holy crap what a piece of shit.

How have I heard nothing until now?

Could suck, who knows, probably?

Watched Stowaway on Netflix last night.

It had some good potential and pretty cool space visuals but ultimately fell short due to the flimsy story and suspect acting (Anna Kendrick as a doctor/astronaut).

Rudd is an avid Royals and Chiefs fan. Also KU alumni.

Do not disrespect him!

I love Paul Rudd. I even liked him in Halloween The Curse of Michael Myers. Which was before I even knew he was a KC guy.

My fav Paul Rudd movie is “I love you, man”. It’s frickin hilarious.

terrible ****in movie fer sure 4/10 :D

Role Models is an absolute gem too.

Our Idiot Brother was pretty entertaining.

that looks great.


even a Liam McPoyle sighting!

I started watching and kept waiting for something to happen or someone to get naked. I didn't make it to the end; I just found it hard to believe that there wasn't a backup for the broken part and no explanation of how the stowaway ended up where he was.

Read the ending on wikipedia and glad that I didn't watch it to the end.

I think I remember somebody commenting on this, saying it sucked. But I watched it last night, and thought it was pretty entertaining. Not a blockbuster, but definitely worth a watch. The dialogue was pretty clunky for the first 30-45 minutes. But once it picked up, the action was great. Kind of a John Wick vibe.

Anyone watched Without Remorse on Prime? I'm a pretty big fan of Michael B Jordan and enjoyed the Reacher stuff on Amazon.

I need to find the time to sit down and watch it.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/e-rw2cxFVLg" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Got this queued up for tonight

Things Heard & Seen on Netflix is one of the dumber movies I've watched

Total waste of time

These are both on the to-do list

Without Remorse is one of my favorite books, and just from watching the trailer it looks like they butchered the **** out of it. The original story was set during the Vietnam War, the girl who was killed was a junkie whore that he was helping to get clean/turn her life around, and the bad guys were her pimps/drug dealers using the coffins of KIA troops to smuggle heroin into the country.

I think if I watch this it will only make me really angry. Like Dune angry. :#

I’m posting on CP while watching this it’s that bad

YMMV

Well shit

That's what I figured.

Clancy must be spinning in his grave right now.

I'm not familiar with the book so can't really compare.

I honestly wish I had more to say about what specifically I didn't like about the movie but the reality is that it was just boring. Felt like I was watching a Wednesday night CBS action show.

The book is fantastic. You should read it.

I enjoyed the hell out of it. So much so that I watched it again the next day.

Discount John Wick.

I repeat: "Nobody" is shit. It's so bad that I'm not sure whether it's a failed comedy or just a piss poor Death Wish clone.

Maybe it's you. :shrug:

I can't help it if there are a lot of dumb ****ing people in the world.

I love movies. Or at least I used to up until every movie became some Disney pabulum, political garbage, or a blockbuster remake of a better movie. Whose fault is it? The dumb ****s who pay to watch this shit.

If you had watched more than the first 30 minutes you would have found out that it is neither.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

I enjoyed "Nobody" as well, and I don't like anything these days. It was fun mindless action.

It is. I loved it and thought No Remorse (watched last night) was good too!
When you watch movies like these, you have to go into it for what it is! It is not going to be a BLOCKBUSTER it is just an action movie - sit back, relax and enjoy!

w/oRemorse could well be a decent brainless flick, but the criticism comes from it wasting such a brilliant property.

Like the rage against Dune, or my personal rage against Bonfire of the Vanities, or the chronic timidity about finally adapting Confederacy of Dunces, . . . and certainly the last season of GoT.

Some works are brilliant enough that people feel there is a duty to honor the material when adapting to film or miniseries, etc.

I love Zombie stuff... this looks a little different but good. By Zach Snyder too.

New Venom movie trailer dropped.

Seems like that might be out the window...
https://trinikid.com/sicario-3-every...we-know-so-far

I mean, I got to the game late and just watched Day of the Soldado yesterday. It was not as good as the first one, but it was good enough and left you hanging for a 3rd...I hope they do it...

Released in April on Netflix was the Woman in the Window. I wished they had called it the Girl in the Window because I liked the Girl on the Train and Gone Girl so much, that would of fit right in with the style. Also most anything with Amy Adams I will watch, she is the next Meryl Streep if not already better, her and Kate Blanchett.

If you want something other than an action adventure, explosions or gun fights and something more like Rear Window, this is it. I gave it an 8, although the music is a big part of the film, it really gets you going, and I have a killer surround sound with a 75" TV, so maybe on a regular sounding smaller TV it won't be as scary. You can tell the director played homage to Hitchcock a lot, there is a twist, it's not always as it seems. If you like a psychological thriller, it's free if you have Netflix.

Been watching some old samurai flicks today.

Samurai Rebellion:

Hitokiri:

https://i.imgur.com/hHKzRJE.gif

The story's a little thin but the cinematography is nice.

I also watched a movie that Baby Lee recommended called Noises Off.

https://i.imgur.com/oY6g0L7.gif

Lots of familiar faces in the cast. It's a comic farce and the director did a masterful job of capturing the action.



I also watched a low budget Australian B movie called Money Movers. It's a heist movie about an armored car robbery. Cheap but entertaining.

Iron Mask (2019)
Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
Call of the Wild (2020)
Bill and Ted Face the Music (2020)

All shit, obviously.

On the positive side The Third Man (1949) looks fantastic on BR. If anyone else is a fan of this classic, I recommend checking out the OTR series.

Spiral, the new Saw spinoff, was pretty shitty.
