OT: Movie Thread

[whatsbruin]

The Union, on Netflix with M. Walberg and Hally Berry. Nothing great, little cheesy but watchable. Popcorn movie, but in my case chips and dill peanuts.

Now that "Killers of the flower Moon" is streaming, its a true story and great, just long. Good movie to watch in segments

I watched it, and I liked it, but that movie could have easily been edited down by AT LEAST 30min.

Should have won like 12 Oscars and especially Robert Shaw for his portrayal of Quint . The guy got robbed.

Totally Agree. Including Best Picture. Although it competed with One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and Dog Day Afternoon. Still.

just watched it last night, found it an absolute blast, one of those films that aren`t trying to re-invent the wheel

Casey was good in it. Damon plays a good straight man.

Saw it over the weekend. Enjoyable, if only for the sights and sounds of my old haunts. The fact they blew up Malachy's Saloon was a bonus. Spent many a night in that old dive.

GGR: great movie, fabulous cast.

PS Bill Burr on Broadway with Bob Odenkirk & Kieran Culkin?!

Just finished watching Amsterdam (2022).

If Christian Bale isn't the best actor in the world, I don't know who is.

Didn't they cancel Chapter 2 because Chapter 1 did so poorly ?

No. Chapter 2 is being released next week on 9/7. Maybe you are thinking of The Acolyte which Disney recently cancelled.

Watching this and the special effects are so bad

I cant wait for the sharks

We just watched a very quirky comedy - Brian and Charles (on Netflix). Brian is played by David Earl who has been in a few series with Ricky Gervais. We found it to be funny and endearing, definitely different. I think people will either love it or hate it. We loved it.

I liked it. I just had a problem trying to follow the ending sequences. I think i have to re-watch it.

Serpico is free on Prime. Watched it last night. Still a great movie. I believe the theater i saw this in when it was released was at the old burlington mall.

Blink Twice was solid

Great call. She’s all time. One of the great screen presences. Nothing but adoration for her.

Was watching some of the 1966 auto racing masterpiece Grand Prix on my laptop. What a fantastic film. Love the cinematography they had while filming these 1960s F1 races. Unbelievably masterful.

you can actually find it on youtube, believe it or not. Just type in "Grand Prix full movie" and you will find it.

Very much looking forward to "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice." I'm a fan of the original, Michael Keaton, and the very bright, very self-possessed and very lovely Jenna Ortega (please don't cancel me; apology tour on the way),

Have over 24 of her movies. First female action star and breathtakingly beautiful. Richard Pryor didnt deserve her.

Wish I had a time machine

Pam Grier in Jackie Brown was incredible.
