I got a ton of old movies on Betamax! Lately just watched..

Mean Streets

Taxi Driver

Pee Wee's Big Adventure

The Boy In The Plastic Bubble

The latter is one of Travolta's best! lol I watched it specifically for that one scene where they're smoking weed on the football field with PJ Soles.

It was a made for TV movie too. They wouldn't show a scene like that today.

Ad Astra. Man, I wanted this to be good. I really liked James Grey's underappreciated The Lost City of Z, so I figured his latest would be at least as good. Instead it's basically Gravity without nearly as much excitement and Interstellar without the hard science. It could've been way better. I almost thought it was going to be a Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now in space kind of deal, which, if done right would be awesome, but no, it's Brad Pitt's character dealing with daddy issues. Meh.

Dolemite is My Name- a little corny in spots, but overall decent/good. Kind of like an uplifting 'for the whole family' movie in some ways, except with lots of raunchy cursing and some nudity. B

Gamechangers - documentary about how animal products are killing us, destroying Earth etc, and how you don't need them to build big muscles (just steroids I guess) or become an elite athlete. The movie proves it with several (several !) real life athlete examples, and a couple of experts back everything up. C

The Lighthouse was everything I wanted it to be and more. Hopefully Eggers can keep up with this kind of stuff before does romantic comedies or something.

Midsommar was... ok. It sorta limped to the end. Was hoping for more punch.

I agree on Midsommar! But I did really like it when the old lady pumps his buttocks during the ceremonial impregnation.

Parasite was the best movie I've seen in a long time.

And - I don't know why I even tried - Yesterday one of the crappiest I've ever seen.

stooge · January 12, 2020, 04:03:44 PM

yesterday was beyond bad

renfield · January 14, 2020, 10:41:10 AM

KNIVES OUT was okay. Ana de Armas is very easy on the eyes

CanookieWookie · January 16, 2020, 07:06:27 PM

The Mexican Terminator. Awful shit.

Rian Johnson is a Cunt

Revisiting one of my favorites.

This fucking ruled, not a dull moment.

"First They Killed My Father" docu-drama about the revolutionary Khmer Rouge taking over Cambodia in the early 70's, seen through the eyes of the youngest daughter in one family. A-minus (although I can't really imagine what they could have done better.) And BTW a lot of Khmer Rouge members were teenagers at the time, meaning that they are still alive now, blending back into the population. (They're around the same age as me, MadJohnShaft or Racer X).

renfield · February 02, 2020, 06:27:12 PM

Did you ever see that one movie The Act of Killing? Shit was intense

whoshotthefrog · February 02, 2020, 06:33:54 PM

I really enjoyed this. Last 20 minutes of the movie was insane

dnice · February 04, 2020, 11:57:40 AM

in contrast to the more horrific, weird, and violent movies I tend to watch.....I caught this total tear jerker/heart warming completely true story film about a teenager that falls through a frozen lake near St. Louis, MO in 2015 and is under water for 15 minutes when he is recovered, and the story of him coming back to life. It's still hard to believe this happened.

Watched Annihilation (2018) tonight. If you dig sci-fi, this is a must watch. Very cool movie. Not perfect and you need an imagination but quite good. Same writer/director of Ex Machina

dnice · February 09, 2020, 03:43:45 PM

Another decent sci-fi flick. Solid acting fairly intriguing story. The ending pulled it together better than expected. Also, goes without saying, but Amy Adams is a babe

dnice · February 20, 2020, 07:53:50 AM

another heart string puller...hits home personally a bit, as I have a son with Down Syndrome. And can relate to the overall theme. Shia LeBeouf is actually very solid in this flick, the whole cast is actually.

socket · February 20, 2020, 10:35:25 AM

Watched Horse Girl the other day.
