Watched Anacondas (2025).
Surprisingly, Jack Black and Paul Rudd haven’t worked together before. Both been in Hollywood forever and both age 57 and similar circles.
it’s a very fun movie. Lots of eye Candy. Not amazing but very fun. I give it a 4/5 stars. Really engaging and has a good time. It’s basically a love letter or homage to the original Anaconda movie. Lots of jump scares and scary moments. The CGI for all the snakes were pretty bad but forgivable for a straight to Apple TV movie.
one of the better new comedies I’ve seen in the last few years.
Not nearly as good as the naked gun (2025), but still pretty fun.
I think I want to watch Cliffhanger (1993?) next. Never seen it but I love Stallone. I tried watching Mean Guns, and watched the first hour of it, but couldn’t get into it. The soundtrack alone was something else, but the plot alone wasn’t enough to carry me.

I rewatched it for the first time in eons, and it's probably more 90s B movie nostalgia for me. High school me thought it was great when it originally aired on HBO though.

Just finished watching this with the kids and it wasn’t that bad. The whole movie just sort of unfolds and doesn’t really pause for filler or heavy explanation or preaching. Allows for the main characters to bond and experience loss. Kids laughed at the animation and funny humor, we laughed at the robot nanny and the baby being carried around in a bubble. Was good for 1hr30min.
Not directly comparable but as a lesser known nominated animated movie it was kind of like being surprised by Flow last year., but Flow was actually amazing. This was just pretty good.

Uh, I hate to tell you this, but I saw it in the theaters on Christmas, so not direct to anything.
That being said, I also enjoyed the movie. My review is near the end of the thread lost somewhere down below.

Does he though?
I like Parks & Rec and his role as Starlord (except in Vol 3), but otherwise I haven’t seen anything to write home about with him.
I did see him at LAX in 2014 and he gave me “the nod” while we were both waiting for luggage.

Its not great. Chris Pratt is strapped to a chair talking to a green screen for 90 minutes with Rebecca Ferguson as CGI of herself. The plot was a who dun it, where you are not invested in the who did it cause the characters are not really developed. Anyhow, if this was a Paul Verhoeven move in the 90's it would have been amazing, but this was too self serious and the message was: AI Judge bad, but it can learn to be good so hurray but like seriously instead of AI Judge bad you dumb apes.

it has it's own thread and the general thought was it sucked. I didn't last 10 minutes. Hot garbage.

I tried watching it last night, I think maybe I got about halfway through. It's so bad, like that ice cube war of the worlds movie.
Edit: I think I turned it off once I figured out who the killer was, which was pretty obvious that it was his AA sponsor, and I think that was somewhere around the halfway mark. I know it's a spoiler but fuck it, don't watch it.

Werewolves Within
Quirky horror comedy where everyone tried to keep up with Sam Richardson acting like it’s an extended Detroiters episode. Lil woke but Milana Vayntrub is hot in a segment or two. 7/10.
Vicious Fun
another comedy horror that is a riff on 80s serial killer stuff. Took inspiration bit from the Sandman serial killer convention. It’s fine if unevenly acted. Heart Eyes from the same director is a better film
6/10

I don't know if you are calling me a loser or them, either way I do not disagree.
Recently watched the Rifftrax riff of this movie, fun but terrible. I am a sucker for old school Cynthia Rothrock and Richard Norton.

2010's True Grit:
www.themoviedb.org
I honestly loved it. Seemed far more straight-forward than any other Coen movie I have ever seen. Played straight, it was a great western with no real heroes.
Bridges, as usual, is brilliant. He becomes characters more than he acts them. Matt Damon, I'm pretty certain, played his part precisely as the Coen brothers wanted him to, which makes him a caricature more than a character. But it is a very moving, expansive, complex film. It will stay with me for a while, which is what a good film should do.
9/10
Then, unfortunately, I saw Oldboy:
www.themoviedb.org
That will stick with me for too long as well. But for ALL THE WRONG REASONS, unfortunately. Like shit sticking to your underwear... Awfully slow pacing. Way over-rated in critical circles. Yeah-- I get it, the Koreans literally have no filter or reasonable censorship in their themes for cinema. Ugh. I hated almost every aspect of it. The characters are terrible people, the long, continuous shots are tedious and torturous and the morality play it tries to be is worthless. It is a complete over-reach in hyperbole. Did it influence future films like "John Wick?" Who the fuck cares? No one will ever be a better person for having seen it. Put it in the category with "The Human Centipede" and "A Serbian Film" and "Martyrs" for bullshit wanna-be arthouse CRAP that is WORSE than pornography because it doesn't lead to any release of dopamine or adrenaline, or serotonin, just a false wish that you could "unsee" something.
1/10 (only because it is well-filmed). Otherwise I would rate it in negative integers... No need to reconstruct ancient themes with modern "hyper-real" special effects and over-reach in every conceivable aspect (from credibility to color-schemes to plausibility). Fuck that film!
True Grit
Following the murder of her father by a hired hand, a 14-year-old farm girl sets out to capture the killer. To aid her, she hires the toughest U.S. Marshal she can find—a man with 'true grit'—Reuben J. 'Rooster' Cogburn.

With no clue how he came to be imprisoned, drugged and tortured for 15 years, a desperate man seeks revenge on his captors.

You watched the re-make of True Grit, but not the original?
Then watched the original Old Boy, but not the remake?
