Yes indeed. The sequel. . . Not so much.
However, they are making a Anime that looks promising.

I missed Busan when it was free in Netflix. Saw the sequel while searching for the original on Prime. The sequel trailer seemed...different. Thanks for the head's up!

So I watched The Forever Purge.

I will address it's entertainment value first: 3/5
It can stand on its own without ever having watched the previous films. Solid action. Good characters that were cast well for their respective roles.
The premise albeit far fetched, looking at this nation's state of affairs over the last 4 years, it actually makes the premise, political undertones and the cast of characters very believable.
I went in not expecting much. And it was slightly better than expected.

Saw Suicide Squad in theaters today. Was a good movie. Has anyone seen PIG with Nicolas Cage yet?

I saw the preview for PIG on AppleTV. Seems highly rated but also seems hard to believe it exists.

There's a lot of sameness right now. The use of the sudden rush whooooosh sound effects is getting tiresome too. I find myself very disinterested in modern movies and looking to the 80s and 90s to catch up on great ones I missed.

Ended up watching it and didn’t care for it. It was slow and I didn’t understand the ending.

Finished this today. He loved his pig and the pig was cute. Didn't much care for the movie, like mentioned above.

When the credits were running you could hear him digging, so I guess he just went on looking for truffles without his pig.

I thought Suicide Squad 2 was even worse than the first one. I thought the villain in 1 was dumb......#2 said "Hold My Beer"......terrible.

I did also see PIG - and while not really my cup of tea, I did watch it after SS #2 - so it seemed far better than it might have on it's own......

It's pretty safe to say that if Nicolas Cage is in the move it's going to probably suck. I mean what was the last good movie he was in??

Goods relative. They're usually critics darlings which can be a mixed bag. Personally I'd say "Lord of War" maybe. That said as much as I enjoyed 'Lord of War" I actually thought "War Dogs" was slightly better.

Agreed

Watched “Nine Days” at AMC today. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It’s a powerful and thought provoking movie.

Had to look this up since I never heard of it. Looks good.

The story could have been better produced but watchable for the real tanks.

I'm still waiting on the 3rd National Treasure, since the 2nd was left so open-ended...

I tried streaming it last weekend through Sedan_Clan 's favorite app, Cinema HD, but every person that loaded up a "streaming" version of it was a di*k and actually had loaded up versions of King Kong...

nyalpine90 · 08-12-2021, 11:00 AM

is there an app on firestick to watch all these movies??

Hmmm! I'll have to check tonight. Occasionally I do run into the wrong movie uploaded, but there some reliable streamers that you'll begin to recognize the more you use the app.
