What's everyone's interest in a reboot of Spenser for Hire?
This is one show I loved in syndication [missed it in network premiere] enough that I grabbed up some of the novels [kind of like Fletch]. Not sure they'll capture the same feel here, but willing to give it a chance.

I was, and still am, a fan of the original Magnum P.I. Selleck and Robert Urich were good friends and TS made a funny little video back in the day giving him some friendly advice about RU's Spencer gig: Today I watched: Godzilla: King of the Monsters I've seen a lot of giant monster movies, and almost all of them suffer from the same problem: too many boring scenes featuring humans and too little monster action. Now the writing in the human scenes is pretty dumb in this one, but it isn't boring at least. The monster scenes were very well done and we even get an appearance by Rodan. Is it a good movie? Not really. But it's more entertaining than most of its ilk. Little Women (2019) Needed a lot more kaiju. Last edited by Mennonite; 01-27-2020 at 04:35 PM.. |

I saw The Gentlemen over the weekend in theaters and really enjoyed it. It was a refreshing return to form for Guy Ritchie and appreciated a lot of the politically incorrect humor. Not on the level of Snatch but overall it was still very entertaining. Hugh Grant steals the show.

Midsommar
Pretty obvious how this movie will end once you hear the setup. And that wouldn't be a problem if there was anything original mixed in to the old "city slickers meet a bad end in a strange rural community" trope but there isn't much here. The lead actress cries and wails throughout the movie's two hour plus run time. Many of the scenes that were supposed to be scary came across kind of goofy, imo. 3 From Hell It's a Rob Zombie movie. At this point you know what you're getting. |

Yeah, maybe I'm judging it too harshly but I've seen several hundred horror movies and read at least a thousand horror short stories so I'm probably a little jaded.
As you correctly pointed out, it feels a lot like the Wicker Man (1973). I don't have an issue with that, my main complaint is that there isn't anything new and unsettling added to that story. We all know they're going to be sacrificed, so you have to make the scenes and scares leading up to the ending all that much more effective. I just don't think they did that here. Edited to add: Only kinda similar in theme, but I'd like to post this adaptation of the Shirley Jackson short story "The Lottery." Last edited by Mennonite; 01-30-2020 at 08:03 PM.. |

Watched Casino earlier. I'd seen bits and pieces when I was younger but had never sat down and watched it all the way through.
Good movie. Love me some De Niro and Joe Pesci.. it was frustrating to watch De Niro be such a simp, though. The entiiiire ****ing movie he just kept letting Ginger come back. |

The Curse of la Llorona (2019)
It's every ghost movie you've watched over the last 20 years, but with Mexicans. Terminator: Dark Fate It's every Terminator movie you've watched over the last 30 years, but with Mexicans. You know what I just realized? 3 From Hell was chock full of Mexicans, too. And the last Rambo flick. Weird. The first candidate that promises to build a wall around tired, unneeded, and unasked for sequels will get my vote in November. |

I've watched and rewatched so many times I honestly can't tell whether it's a preferable way to consume or not, but you should know that there exists a 'Godfather Saga' cut that intertwines all of the films in a single event with a straight timeline.

Movies I saw in theaters in January:
1917 - 10/10. Incredible. Bad Boys for Life - 6/10. Kinda entertaining, kinda funny, but a little too over the top for me. Jumanji: The Next Level - 7/10. Surprisingly funny. Also a little over the top, but funny enough to make it worth watching. |

The Last Jedi and The Shape of Water.
Folks, this kind of shit is why I don't watch many modern movies. Both were just laughably bad. Last edited by Mennonite; 02-05-2020 at 02:26 PM.. |
