Which movie did you watch today and how would you rate it?

 
 
 
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die

How this movie hasn't gotten more run is beyond me. It's fantastic.

A man from the future forcibly recruits random people from a diner to make a run to a house where a 9 year old is about to invent an AI program that results in the full technological takeover of humanity. The number of twists, turns, humor, tension, weirdness, and special effects are top notch. It satirizes the modern addiction to phones and social media in a jarring and insightful way. It's sci-fi so the viewer needs to suspend some disbelief at the door, but this one stays grounded enough so that you're never taken out of the movie.

See it.

8.5/10
 
In a Violent Nature

I think I left a good review here for this movie already. Whether I did or not, I know I felt very positive about it.

I don't know what I was thinking. I don't drink or use drugs, so maybe I got kicked in the head by a horse shortly before watching it, but don't remember that happening due to brain trauma.

This movie sucks. I gave it a rewatch and had to shut it off at the 30 minute mark.

Long story short, it's a movie that somewhat tells the story through the eyes of a Jason-like killer in the woods. It's a somewhat unique idea, but it feels written and acted out like a 9th grade drama club assignment.

3/10
 
Citizen Vigilante
This has a rating of 6.1 on IMDB; there's a lot of sick puppies out there. I rate it 1/10 (and a zero if that were possible).
Even excluding the pathetically weak extreme right-wing anti-immigration (and "anti-woke" and anti-liberal) theme of the movie, it is bad as a movie in its own right, being poorly constructed and with many plot holes, and massive hypocrisy.

It starts off by saying it is in Europe, instead of naming a specific country (it was filmed in Croatia).
As an example of its poor construction, it starts with members of the public giving on social media their thoughts about the vigilante, even though we viewers of the movie haven't been shown him doing anything yet.
The vigilante is a white American illegal immigrant living in Europe. He owns many properties there, and orders a huge number of tenants to be illegally evicted because he is a greedy landlord. He murders about eight police personnel and sets a trap that kills about eight more. He kidnaps and murders several judges, making their deaths look like suicide (is he ashamed? unlikely), along the way killing an innocent motorist just for the hell of it.

There is a peculiarity in regards to how he treats young women. Two incidents - there is a small gang of two young men and a young woman, who are hassling another young man. He punishes the two young men, but not the young woman as she has magically vanished.
Later he goes to the abode of a migrant family where there is the mother, father, their daughter and their son, the later who was part of a group that gang raped a young woman. He gets the son to lure all the other members of the gang there, and kills them all, and also the father and mother, but I didn't notice him kill the girl. The abode is in a large apartment complex, and he fired his gun over twenty times, but no one else heard. I suppose this is because as is typical in movies he has a silencer (suppressor) on his gun that makes it almost silent, though that is not how that works in real life.

This movie trivializes real issues, and as is typical uses lies and false data. The "hero" seems to think that he can wake the public to act, though how that is supposed to work who knows?
 
The Sheep Detectives
Cute little movie. Hugh Jackman.
A lot like Babe.
7/10
 
Event Horizon

This movie holds up well. Maybe I believe that due to the glut of absolute horror movie shit that's been dealt out for the most part of the last 10+ years. This movie is creative, original, and with the exception of some janky 90s CGI, is still a really good watch.

I looked it up and the budget for the film was about $60 million. In today's $, that would be roughly $120 million. The point is that unless a movie is considered to be a blockbuster, studios simply won't take chances on any genre of movie like they did with this one.

This one's getting a ton of hate-run on the internet. I need to see it for myself. I would've never heard of it or been interested in watching it otherwise.

The Odyssey is getting a similar but much wider treatment on the internet. It's so fucking weird. There's Team Odyssey and Team Fuck the Odyssey. The former will say it's great even if it's terrible. The latter will hate it even if it's a master class in filmmaking.

Either way, I wouldn't have bothered with either of the above movies without all the hoopla surrounding them.

Same here. I can't quite figure it out. Lots of hate on the trailers, even though the trailers don't tell/show you much. But it has a good score on Rotten Tomatoes. I read the story when I was a kid and I recall being enthralled with it, so I have a bit of nostalgia pushing me to see it in the theaters (which I haven't been to since before the pandemic). I'll admit the casting was a little strange...I wonder if Nolan had to do that to make his film eligible for Best Picture.

I liked that one too. Reminded of it when I heard Sam Neill had passed.

I did a quick look, the film seems to be generally universally praised by critics and overwhelmingly by viewers. I wasn't planning on seeing it in the theaters, but it might be worth the run. Sounds like an awesome film for a proper 4K HTS.
 
We watched the movie "Dog" the other day and it was really good.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_(2022_film)

Dog is a 2022 American comedy drama road filmdirected by Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin, both making their respective film directorial debuts, based on a story by Carolin and Brett Rodriguez. The film stars Tatum as an Army Ranger who is tasked with escorting the military dog of his fallen friend to his funeral. The film also stars Jane Adams, Kevin Nash, Q'orianka Kilcher, Ethan Suplee, Emmy Raver-Lampman, and Nicole LaLiberte in supporting roles. The film was produced by Free Association on a budget of $15 million.[5]

The film was released in the United States on February 18, 2022, by United Artists Releasing. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, praising Tatum's direction and performance, and was also a box office success, grossing $85 million worldwide.

Plot​

Jackson Briggs, a former U.S. Army Ranger suffering from PTSD, tries to apply for a rotation position in Pakistan, but is deemed unfit for service due to a brain injury. He is notified that his friend and former partner, Riley Rodriguez, was killed in a car crash the night before. The morning after attending a memorial service at a local bar, Briggs is called in to Fort Lewis on a special assignment to escort Riley's military dog, Lulu, a female Belgian Malinois with a history of aggressive behavior, to attend his funeral in Nogales, Arizona, after which he is to bring her to White Sands, where she will be euthanized. Initially hesitant, Briggs agrees when his former company commander, Captain Jones, promises to recommend him for the rotation position.

On the road, when Briggs stops at a shooting range, Lulu is disturbed by the sound of gunfire due to her military experiences. She breaks out of her cage, and destroys the passenger seat of his 1984 Ford Bronco. Frustrated, Briggs gives her Benadryl hidden in a hot dog, causing Lulu to fall asleep. In Portland, Oregon, Briggs tries to hit on various women at a bar, but most are repelled by his brash personality. Outside, Lulu draws the attention of two friends, Bella and Zoe, who invite Briggs back to their house. While he is inside, Lulu's barking alerts a neighbor. Believing her to be the victim of abuse, the neighbor smashes the rear windshield, but she promptly attacks him. Briggs runs outside and pulls them apart, but Bella and Zoe are disturbed by the display and lock Briggs outside.

I'll leave it at that because I don't want to spoil the ending, but it's streaming somewhere, maybe Paramount or Peacock or Disney. it's quite a good comedic drama.

PS. We watched "Strays" for the 3rd time and couldn't stop laughing again. Love that crazy movie.

I absolutely do not like dogs being used for police or military work. They have no idea of the danger they could be in at any time. I thinks it's cruelty to the animals.
 
I watched a movie today. Well, not exactly. I watched about the last half hour of a movie on tv, called The Hangover Games.
It was pretty funny. I don’t think I could have watched the whole thing. It made me laugh a few times, but I have a real thing for well done Stoopid.

It felt to me like Babe without the complexity.

Did I mention before that I saw the Death of Robin Hood?

I was more than an hour in before I twigged it was Hugh Jackman. Drove me nuts because I knew it was a familiar face and voice.
 
The Long Walk

Based on a Stephen King story. The US has suffered a severe economic crash. To bring the people's spirits back up, the government created "The Long Walk." 50 contestants, one from each state, of older teen men must continuously walk at a brisk pace. If you fall behind or try to leave the road, you risk getting executed by shooting in the head. Huge riches and one wish granted to the winner.

The interactions between the contestants and the tension that continually grows as the walk gets longer and longer and contestants are "eliminated" keeps the viewer engaged.

I read the story when I was a kid and I recall being enthralled with it, so I have a bit of nostalgia pushing me to see it in the theaters (which I haven't been to since before the pandemic).

Rotten Tomatoes is a terrible place for trying to assess whether or not to watch a movie.

51% = Good Movie.
49% = Bad Movie

IMDB is better, but still kind of wanky.

In the end, one has to see for themselves.
