Tokyo Drift was the absolute worst one If you can imagine. ? The beginning is the best part of the move. Your right about the movie..

TonyK Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Saw Dunkirk a couple years ago (?) and know what you're saying but knew the story going in so expected all of it. Not pleasant but an interesting part of history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few light moments but all things considered not a "happy" movie. Only one of the stories has what I'd call a "happy ending." Kinda interesting, but I don't think I'd watch it again. Dunkirk (HBOMax): This is also NOT a happy-fun feel-good movie. Desperation is in every frame. I can't recall a single light moment in the whole thing. A good movie, but not a fun one by any means. We saw Dunkirk on an IMAX screen. The theater was packed and completely silent from beginning to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Pluto TV (free) has most of the James Bond movies this month. Looks like most if not all of them pre-Daniel Craig. I'm planning to watch all the early Connery ones, up through at least Diamonds Are Forever. I haven't seen most of them in decades. At the moment, I'm halfway through Thunderball. Dr. No is just awful in every way. I'm surprised that anyone decided to continue with the series after that pig. From Russia with Love is a quantum advancement/improvement. Not my favorite Bond movie, but not horrible. Goldfinger is still pretty good. Lots of DB 5 action, at any rate. Still don't believe a '64 Ranchero could carry a crushed Lincoln Continental--with a million dollars worth of gold bullion (@ $32/oz!) in the trunk--though. For a while I've believed that Thunderball is my alltime favorite (and IMHO the high point of the franchise). So far I'm not seeing anything to change my mind--it's slick, it's classy, the plot is still plausible, and it's just old-school cool. Looking forward to You Only Live Twice, which I retain a favorable impression of but haven't seen in a long time.

JollySipper Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Have you guys seen a movie called "Big Fish"? Excellent Tim Burton flick, if you're into him at all....... I like all Burton's movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Just re-watched Saving Private Ryan (now on Netflix). Hadn't seen it since it was on HBO after it first came out. I'd forgotten Ted Danson and Dennis Farina were in it, and Nathan Fillion and Bryan Cranston weren't on my radar then, so it was cool to see them too. Pretty good movie--I remembered it as being the best WWII movie since Kelly's Heroes, or maybe since A Bridge Too Far. (Band of Brothers hadn't been made yet.) I skipped the initial D-Day sequence--just too sad and depressing to watch again. There was some stuff in the plot that was just plain silly, but overall, it's a great movie and has held up.

NOBLNG Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) One of my favourite comedies is “ Oh Brother Where Art Thou”. Starring George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson. I could watch it over and over. Great sound track too. Edited April 21, 2021 by NOBLNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve seen so far of Coen Brothers films, ‘O Brother Where Art Thou’ is the masterpiece out of them all. All the expressions and mannerisms of the characters and the statements they make are endlessly hilarious... and the soundtrack superbly fits the movie. I laugh every time when the kid comes out poppin’ off rifle rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Scene after scene is great in their own way. I remember the first time I saw this I was amazed at the acting and how dumb these guys were. Seemed as if they were really that dumb and not even acting. They deserve a lot of credit for that. And yes, the music is very good and I'm not really a fan of that type but it fits the movie perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) One of my favourite lines: “Them syreens did this to Pete. They loved him up and turned him into a horny toad.” And how devastated Delmar is when John Goodman crushes him...?

NOBLNG Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Another great comedy in a different vein is “Heartbreak Kid”. It’s a loose remake of 1972 movie. It didn’t get great reviews, but I enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youpey Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) I watched the brand new movie "nobody". It was OK. It reminded me of john wick, but much less story. Honestly, i really only watched it because the guy from breaking bad and better call saul was the star. However the movie was more of a storyless shoot em up. Definitely not worth the 20 dollars streaming cost right now, but when it gets to a few dollars, maybe Edited April 21, 2021 by youpey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Watched 2067 on Amazon. I wasn’t impressed?. It didn’t make much sense...even for a science fiction movie. Also watched Greenland. It was OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 After years (decades?) of hearing that Tremors was "a good gun nut movie," I FINALLY got a chance to see it. A little silly in places, but not bad at all--I've seen much worse. Yup, a good gun nut movie--who knew Reba McEntire could sling lead? Recently re-watched two older Clint Eastwood movies. Heartbreak Ridge was worse than I remembered--it might be the worst Clint Eastwood movie of all time and one of the worst military/war movies of all time, or at least of the last 50 years. In the Line of Fire, OTOH, was better than I remembered. Might even be better than Dirty Harry. Also re-watched Blood Work and that wasn't too bad, either.

BlackSheep214 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I'm not much into sci-fi that much except Star Wars. Unless it's well written and produced. Horror movies... God, how I hate them. Always too predictable and boring. Half the time, I fall asleep during them. LOL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I saw a real stinker. I enjoyed watching the first two Hellboy movies. Watched the recent 2019 remake and it stunk. First off different director and a new actor to play hellboy. A cheesy plot with over the top blood and gore. I'm glad i saw it on tv for free but that was too much.
