Better Watch Out is a pretty decent horror movie, about a girl about to leave for college and doing one last babysitting stint. But the barely-teen she is babysitting has a crush on her and turns out doesn't deal well with rejection. The DVD extras were quite good about how the writer and...

Lucky Them is a pretty good movie with Toni Collette and Thomas Hayden Church as two mis-matched folks in search of an up and coming musician who one day disappears. Did he commit suicide? This musician also happens to be someone Collette's character had been dating. She is now a music...

The changes this show have made are like it half of the figure skaters competing now were gone forever and replaced with 12 year olds.

I'm shocked with AI in that this is the first season when I wasn't really in love with a handful of singers out of the top 24. There were a few auditions that blew my mind, but those people didn't make it past Hollywood Week. I find most in the top ten can't get through a 90 second version of...

I think serious dramas and sometimes Marvel movies can be over two hours, but Civil War is basically a popcorn movie made to be short enough that theatres can have more showings and get more customers into and then out of the theatre. I think I've read articles about theatre owners NOT liking...

I forgot that I saw this with friend and posted about Molly Ivins instead. The trailer for Civil War is really good. And most of the movie is decent, but the last half hour, the script implodes and less and less makes sense. One of my friends was really disappointed and said, "what was...

Raise Hell: The Life & Times Of Molly Ivins is a 2019 documentary about a Texas newspaper columnist in the 60s. A left-leaning columnist in the 60s. In Texas. Strong lady!! :lol: I did not know of Ivins before seeing this movie, I think it came to my attention while watching a different DVD...

The Covenant is such a good movie and a fine example of movies about male friendship. The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a sargeant in the US Army and Dar Salim as his his Afghan interpreter. I had seen Salim recently in season two of the Swedish/Danish TV series The Bridge. So it was nice to...

If you want to watch a visually stunning movie, check out The Velvet Queen. It's a nature documentary about two men trying to get footage of the elusive snow leopard in Tibet. I swear the cinematography here is even better than Planet Earth and the Disney wildlife movies, all of which are...

I was kind of surprised with Magic Mike's Last Dance. My memory of the last movie in the series (Magic Mike XXL) is that they went for a lesser storyline and just lots of half naked dancing. Last Dance flips that on it's head on goes big on story and very little dancing and less pecs and abs...

I watched Emily this weekend, which is a (semi-?) fictional account of Emily Bronte's life leading up to the writing of Wuthering Heights. It's interesting to watch things that happened in her life and people around her who may have inspired her to create the characters for her novel. The cast...

Spinning Gold is an okay drama about Neil Boart, founder of Casablanca Records. If you're around my age, you will remember their label on records by artists such as Donna Summer, Kiss, Parliament, the Village People, etc. The story of Bogart and all the artists on Casablanca is better than how...

Some movie posts I'm borrowing from the television thread. :) The Marvels cost either 220 million or 280 to make. Double that to cover advertising/promotion to make a profit. Wikipedia says that the movie has made 114 million at this time. :fragile: :fragile: :fragile: I wish they...

"Us Kids" has an 85% approval rating at rotten tomatoes and was a Grand Jury Prize nominee at the Sundance Film Festival for best documentary. The movie is about a group of teens who travel the country speaking out about gun violence. And they are survivors of the mass shooting at the high...

Matthew Vaughn says Halle Berry was tricked into X-Men: The Last Stand with fake Storm script...
