Watched a movie last night called Black 47. Revenge story that takes place in 1847 Ireland during the potato famine. Hugo Weaving and the Irish protagonist from the Crying Game are both in it, forget the second dudes name.
Was surprisingly good, and for an hour and a half it was just a nice little, well done movie. Worth a watch.

Stephen Rea. Think I saw a trailer for this a while back. Might have to check it out then.

Yeah, that's his name. The more I thought about it, the protagonist is like an Irish Rambo. There's no messaging or diversity shit, just a solid movie. Definitely give it a watch.

Just rewatched Sex Drive from 2008. For a dumb little "coming of age" movie, I like it a lot. Particularly James Marsden as the older brother. There is an unrated version floating around, but it mostly has deleted scenes, director's commentary, and then scenes will randomly have a naked chick walk in front of the scene. She's not even in the actual scene, they just superimpose her over the top to toss some nudity in because it's "unrated." I can respect that.
This is also the movie where I started to crush on Amanda Crews, before she was even in Silicon Valley.

Been bouncing around the old 007s as they all are on netflix
Sorry not sorry… what was wrong with Timothy Dalton? His two seem good, 1/3 through the 2nd of his now. I like License to Kill - they had Q do stuff, that was nice.

Casino Royale is my favorite bond movie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I like the first three Craig bond films, and I’ve even read the OG Ian Fleming novel.
it would be rad if we returned to THAT Bond, which is what Daniel Craig was close to in Casino Royale: cold hearted, chain smoking, alcoholic, womanizer, kills bad guys without remorse. They turned him into a boy by the end of the series. We need to return to the Sean Connery days. Just have it be period pieces set in the 50s and 60s.

Yes. James Bond is supposed to be the very essence of what Liberals call Toxic Masculinity. Mostly because they are exactly the kind of disgusting he-beasts that James Bond would never fuck.

Finished my rewatch of Breaking Bad, and decided to fire up El Camino. For some reason I remember hearing it was terrible when it came out, but the reviews all seemed pretty decent for it in current year.
It was a good "this is what happened to Jesse in that missing year" and him navigating the wake of Walter White's finale. It was a little out of character at times, where Jesse had to have Walter White-esque planning to move the plot forward, but I'll chalk that up to osmosis from being around him so long.
Overall though I'll give it a 7/10. It was definitely solid enough to have been a 2 episode series of Breaking Bad. And that's really all you can ask for.

I watched the running man remake, the 2 partners of the main char felt superflous, there was no backstory with them like the original so there's no reason to care why they're killed off, which they were immediatly. The plot devices are meh, The metaphors are kinda in your face and pacing is like almost too smooth, the esthethic is what it really has going for it. it almost feels like you're watching a video game get played.
Inferior remake but not an god awful one.
