I just rewatched Batman Begins for the first time in years. I was pretty shocked to see a young joffrey baratheon in it. Didn't remember that although he wasn't famous back then. Lots of great side characters who became more famous later. Great beginning but lots of plot holes. Like no one who worked at Wayne Enterprises would notice batman using all the tech they worked on? The tumbler killing lots of cops on TV would have been pretty sketchy. The microwave device was pretty dumb too. But Nolan really put together a great film.

The microwave is actually a legit thing lol, the bat sonar was more retarded from TDK

You watched the re-make of True Grit, but not the original?
Then watched the original Old Boy, but not the remake?
pfft!
I've seen the original True Grit many years ago (won an Oscar for John Wayne). A Very different film in tone and purpose.

The remake of Oldboy looks like an exercise in futility, is it even worth watching?

Watch this instead(If you have seen the original). Almost as long, more entertaining

The trip, after seeing the trailer for the upcoming us remake. Fun movie. Watch the sub. The dubbing is terrible

I am trying to catch up on the great spaghetti westerns that are harder to find/see 50+ years after they were made.

This one defies explanation on many levels.

Was it good? It was intense and unpredictable.

6/10 for it's beauty and nearly impossible film-making. (the horse in the snow, eg).


AND


Panned when it was released. Charles Laughton's only directorial effort. Decades later lauded as "one of the greatest American films of all time" (Roger Ebert).

It stinks. The original reviews were spot on in 1955...

4/10

OMG...

A little too long, but it's a hyper-violent, amazing martial arts film.

Think "John Chick!" Only maybe with even better fight scenes, weapons, and gun-brawls.

It's on Netflix.

And, don't feel compelled to watch the entire film. It's like eating a gigantic ice-cream sundae of a film. You're done when you're satisfied.

Since I watched Undertone earlier I wanted to go back and watch this since it has been on my list for a while. Not exactly the same premise or anything, a little bigger scope. Three main characters instead of one, inside a radio station mostly listening to callers phoning in and trying to figure out what is happening outside. Sort of a zombie thing. I liked it, 6.5/10 seems just fine to me.

None of my shit works, fuck it, I'm going to bed.

Interesting, I have it in my neverending backlog. I made a thread about it a while back that wasn’t exactly met with enthusiasm.

Hadn't seen Ransom in a long time but caught it on Tubi earlier this evening. Mel Gibson and Gary Sinise, directed by Ron Howard. Highly recommend a rewatch if you like 90's thrillers and haven't seen it in a while.

Wife wanted to go retro so we watched Demolition Man last night. Funny that most of the 'future' tech is ordinary now.
One not so funny thing ,we're watching the part about the great pizza wars and it's Pizza Hut. I stopped the movie immediately and asked my wife was that right. She claimed she'd seen it but didn't recall. Turns out I had an international copy of the movie where Taco Bell was digitally edited (and not very well) out since out side of USA at that time no one knew what a Taco Bell was.
