OK.... Last night I watched this after anticipation for over a year. All I can say is that is absolutely magnificent! The best movie I have seen in 2023.
It may not be for everyone and that's fine. I personally prefer: Fantasy, SciFi, Action, in that order.
Allow me to also say, this type of film is definitely best served on the biggest screen and loudest system you can access! Even if it's a big screen TV and Sound bar.
Anyway.... Just WOW! It surpassed my expectations The best comparison is a combination of Star Wars and Dune. Which I see inspiration from. I can't wait for Chapter 2 coming this April.
Another thing worth mentioning: I recently upgraded my Subwoofer in my Dolby Atmos setup. The Dolby Mix of this movie is astonishing!

This might be a good way to kill a few hours.

I liked to breakwater and dream scenario.

Always liked this one

Did you check out Uncut Gems?
He was really good in it, solid film, definitely 180 degrees from Billy Madison lol

Yup, I think that was the film I was referring-to...

Here's an older film that I watched with my father last night-- we both really enjoyed it. It's a "clever" spy movie with a lot of good interaction between the actors.

"Spy Game" with Robert Redford & Brad Pitt. 2001.

Esteban · 12-27-2023, 06:49 PM

Michael Mann's FERRARI

tranquility · 12-27-2023, 08:24 PM

Deep Water, ya, a bit controversial haha. Great casting choosing Ana, she is SO freaking annoying here but ofc the movie also required someone beautiful for her role. Ok, I'll leave it at that lol.

M5Rick · 12-28-2023, 10:50 AM

The Ten Commandments, great for Christmas.

''Let the hebrews go''!

Saw it either Christmas day, or Tuesday. Definitely can't wait for the next chapter! Predictable theme, yet interesting curves and surprises.

Prediction: somebody important gets killed and Issa brings that person back to life.

Last night as we came into the kitchen my son and girlfriend-in-law were just starting Leave the World Behind. She restarted it, I had nothing better to do, and it was nice to sit with her and share something for a while. Didn't realize until she told me later that it was almost 3 hours we sat there. She obviously had seen it before, and knew to lower the audio at certain points.

I recognized Julia and Ethan pretty quick. She tried to call Ethan Kevin Bacon, and I laughed "Nah, but within 6 degrees" Little did I know then that it was only 2 degrees

Nothing spectacular, some very strange cinematic camera angles, but Julia is still as alluring as ever.

Got an email from Netflix listing movies they were removing from their play list. This one caught my eye: started watching it and realized I've seen it before. Worth watching again....

Saw this one too and agree, worth watching again.

M5Rick · 12-29-2023, 03:25 PM

Watching this again, forgot what it's all about.

flybigjet · 12-29-2023, 08:02 PM

Just finished watching "The Boys in the Boat" with my wife and my family.

We all really enjoyed it and thought it was quite well done.

Very much recommended-- no violence, sex or swearing, but amazingly-- still a great movie.

On an Eastwood roll here watching this one, Kelly and a bunch of GI's go AWOL to grab $16M of gold bars held in a bank...behind enemy lines.

A great film with a great cast.

HFW003 · 12-30-2023, 03:55 PM

I’ve just finished watching, again, one of my all time favourite movies.
Forgetting all the bullshit that comes with Tom Cruise he is exceptional in this.

Alfisti · 12-30-2023, 08:44 PM

Watching Rebel Moon, I mean i'll get through it because I love Sci-Fi but truth be told it is shit. Massive budget and still, shite.

We watched it, my wife loves sci-fi. It was ok but it felt like I was watching a B version of a Star Wars movie.

You were. It believe it was originally going to be a part of the Star Wars Universe but they scrapped that and Snyder went in this direction
