Dr Doolittle (1967) 2/10. It's terrible, especially for a kids movie. I'm sure if you are from England it's only 3/10 terrible. Watching it with a 5yo, he can barely understand any of the language, it's boring other than the abundance of animals, and the actors have almost no charisma (other than the one that's supposed to be the hot chick i assume). I'm trying to think of something positive but nothing comes to mind.

She made the mistake of doing a movie with Jim Carrey and him focusing his obsession on her for a while.

A friend recently recommended Beautiful Boy from 2018 with Steve Carell & Timothee Chalamet.

I’d never heard of it before but it’s easily in my top 10 of all time. Absolutely fantastic acting, writing and as a father of a young son I was completely hooked.

I was blown away by Carell’s acting chops and I really like Chalamet. I feel like he’s the next in the line of Brad Pitt, Leo etc.

rewatched Leviathan (1989) last night. Holds up extremely well. Did some researching on how Leviathan and The Abyss came out the same year and this story is insane.

In 1987, James Cameron announced his next movie (original script) would be a sea lab movie called The Abyss released in summer 1989. Other studies SCRAMBLED to beat him to the theatres with their own sealab movie blockbuster.

as a result, SIX movies came out that summer that were all sealab monster or sealab alien movies.

Leviathan (my personal favorite of the bunch (Soviet engineered monster)

The Abyss (space aliens)

Deep Star Six (ancient crustacean monster that is from the Cretaceous period that somehow survived)

lords of the deep (space aliens)

Evil Below (space aliens)

The Rift (mutates monsters, maybe space aliens)

I’m currently watching Deepstar Six. Between the Abyss and Leviathan, Leviathan I think is. Better movie even if lower budget. Tighter cast, tighter pacing, better writing.

Not to mention the eye candy. Gosh dang! Some foxy ladies in this movie. Peter Weller is the leading man, filming this after Robocop.

But how insane is it to have SIX sea lab monster movies. We saw something similar with Deep Impact vs Armageddon, or Batman v Superman and Captain America Civil War. But imagine instead of twin movies, there’s SIX with similar plot and settings. Nuts.

update: while deepstar six probably has the most interesting monster concept (to me), this was far worse than abyss or leviathan. Extraordinarily bad. Haven’t seen the other 3.

That’s great, definitely sounds like a fun going through them all and comparing.

On a similar note Roku now has an Asylum channel which I’ve had on in the background non-stop. Some amazingly bad stuff that I’d never seen before, and I try to watch all their terrible movies.

Dog Eat Dog.

Nicolas Cage, Willem Dafoe, written and directed by Paul Schrader of Taxi Driver fame. Got to be worth a watch, right?

Without a doubt one of the worst movies I have seen. It is so utterly pointless and every character is awful and the whole thing is small and dull. It's basically about three criminal degenerates who commit some crime and fuck up some more, the end. It has a very odd and shifting tone that doesn't really add anything. You really learn very little about the characters and what little you do is boring.

Do not recommend.

The Amateur


Dad Movie / 10. Easily watchable, always moving forward, decently acted, could see the entire plot in the first 20 minutes and it was aggressively fine. Jon Bernthal is in it for 5 minutes, Fishburne for 20, but Malik does a good job with what he is given.

Saw this in the theater back in the day, decent flick just turn your brain off. Wife said it was 'ok' whatever that means.

Xander Cage is left for dead after an incident, though he secretly returns to action for a new, tough assignment with his handler Augustus Gibbons.

Never watched this one. It was ok 5/10 again turn your brain off as this one is aggressively dumb. Also hilarious what they avoided doing to keep a PG-13 rating. Probably won't watch it again.

For 20+ years I thought Sgt Slaughter was a super ultra mega star due to this film. I was shocked seeing how shit he actually was by the time he got to the WWF, that he held a single belt one time in the WWF (the heavyweight championship) while also having an Iraqi sympathizer heel turn when that real war was going down.

Watched Godzilla Minus One tonight.

probably the best Godzilla movie, maybe one of the best monster movies I’ve ever seen (after Tremors, of course).

Also is fitting that I read Shōgun this year, so the cultural context makes a lot more sense to the lead character being a failed Kamikaze and the dishonor that comes with that.

The War Machine

Not bad, not good, popcorn flick that filled a void. Reacher plays Reacher which makes the third thing I have seen him where he is exactly the same.
The Jai Courtney correlation remains intact, him being in a movie means it has a 90% of being, at best, mediocre and 10% chance of being dog shit and this percentage goes up, with the mediocrity percentile decreasing, with Jai Courtney screen time.
He’s barely in it, movie was mediocre, the math maths.
Aggressively stupid movie at times especially toward the end but for modern movies it not terrible.
6/10

Gonna watch Den of Thieves 2: The Something TBT Could Not Be Bothered To Remember, I have a feeling this is going to be just as disappointing a sequel as every other sequel Leonidas has been in.

I was going to watch The Rip but the audio was terrible.

Edit: 40mins into Den of Thieves 2 and I’m bored.

Den of Thieves 2: Pantera 6/10
First two acts are slow, last act is good, ending is good. First movie is way better though.

Re watched Terminator 1. One of the best movies of all time made on a shoestring budget. Cost $1M, looks like it cost $20M, made $100M (and a billion more later).

The Terminator itself is like a serpent. Arnold disappears completely. The Tech Noir scene in particular might be one of the best scenes in movie history. Look at how his head is framed like Frankenstein's Monster in that shot. Almost every second of the Tech Noir scene does some sort of visual storytelling like that.

It's absurd how good this scene is and how much it tells a first-time viewer. It's comparable to the Dog Scene from The Thing in terms of being a scene where the world as we know it is completely shattered in the span of a minute. It's a through the looking glass moment where the illusion of safety falls away. A little later is the police station scene, which is where any remaining "yeah but he can be stopped right?" gets crushed.

The deleted scenes are powerful. We find out that Lt Traxler was the one person who believed Reese, and he tells them how to escape the station (and also tells Reese to protect Sarah) while he lay dying. We also see Reese breaking down in the woods because he's never seen a green forest before. I get why they cut these scenes, they're pretty goddamn sad.

10/10 movie, obviously. After all the modern garbage I watched the past month, this was just unbelievably good.
